"If any of you can kill the Heavenly Emperor, I'll let them be free."
"You!" The Heavenly Emperor glared at Long Chen. "You're not keeping your words. You promised me I'll be free!"
"Of course you're free. And I'm not going to kill you. Whatever these beasts do, what does it have to do with me granting you freedom?" Long Chen asked, shrugging innocently.
For far too long, Heaven has been toying with people's lives. In the absence of Ancestral Gods, the Heavenly Emperor has been playing the god, killing mortals who he didn't like, sending Heavenly Tribulations to remove any threat.
He even manipulated heavenly laws and did things that even Long Chen found to be overboard.
He didn't care if the Heavenly Emperor killed people. But when he started using the Heavenly Laws for that, it crossed the limit. Long Chen never planned to let the Heavenly Emperor leave.
The show was just about to begin.
