Chereads / The Reclusive Empresses: Slapping Faces Across the Realms / Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: The Convergence

Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: The Convergence

The Empire stood on the edge of a precipice. The tension that had been building for years was now about to reach its climax. The Celestial Dao Alliance, with its fractured leadership, was struggling to hold on to power. The Demonic Abyss League, ever patient, was preparing for the moment when they would strike, hoping to capitalize on the chaos. But the true force in the Empire was the Divine Frost Empress and the Everlasting Flame Sovereign, Bai Qingyu and Li Yuexin. They had waited long enough, and now the time had come for them to take control.

In the Forgotten Celestial Valley, Bai Qingyu and Li Yuexin stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the Imperial City in the distance. The world had been set into motion, and now it was time for them to make their move.

"The time is now," Qingyu said quietly, her voice calm but filled with authority. "The Celestial Dao Alliance and the League both think they control the world, but they've failed to realize that they are already part of a much larger plan."

Li Yuexin's golden-red eyes gleamed with excitement. "They think they're still calling the shots, but we both know that's not the case. It's time to remind them why they fear us."

Qingyu gave a slight nod. "Let them fight among themselves for a while longer. The world will be ours when they've exhausted all their resources."

Yuexin grinned. "I can't wait to see their faces when they realize they've been dancing to our tune all along."

In the heart of the Imperial City, the leaders of the Celestial Dao Alliance convened in secret. Elder Su, his face hardened by the recent humiliation, stood at the head of the council table. The younger sect leaders were eager for action, impatient to strike at the Empresses, but Elder Su knew better. The Empresses were not to be underestimated, and rash action would only lead to their downfall.

"They've proven their power," Elder Su said, his voice heavy with frustration. "But we cannot back down. If we let them continue to control the Empire, we will lose everything. We need to act, but we must do so with caution."

General Li, ever the pragmatist, spoke up. "We've seen what they can do. They are more than a match for us, and the League is waiting for the right moment to strike as well. If we attack now, we risk all-out war. The Empresses will wipe us out without a second thought."

Minister Xian, impatient as always, slammed his fist onto the table. "What are we waiting for? We've been humiliated, and they are already testing our limits. We cannot afford to hesitate. If we don't act now, we will lose all credibility with the other sects."

Elder Su's eyes narrowed. "Patience. We must wait for the right time to strike. If we attack too soon, we will be crushed. But if we wait, we may find a way to outmaneuver them."

Elsewhere, the Demonic Abyss League was preparing for its own move. The Abyssal King, standing before a grand map of the Empire, was calculating his next steps with cold precision. The League had been patient, watching the Celestial Dao Alliance weaken and the Empresses grow stronger. Now, the time was right to act, but the Abyssal King knew that moving too hastily could ruin everything.

"The Celestial Dao Alliance is divided," the Abyssal King said, his voice low but filled with certainty. "The younger generation is eager for control, but they lack the wisdom to truly lead. We will strike when the time is right. And when we do, the League will be the one to control the Empire."

His lieutenant, a tall figure shrouded in shadow, stepped forward. "But the Empresses are still a threat. They will not sit idly by while we make our move. If we strike now, we may provoke them into taking action."

The Abyssal King's lips curled into a slow smile. "The Empresses may be powerful, but they underestimate us. They think they are in control, but they are already losing. Once we move, there will be no one left to stop us."

In the Forgotten Celestial Valley, Bai Qingyu and Li Yuexin had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The world around them had been slowly tipping in their favor, and now it was time to make their move. They had manipulated the factions, orchestrated the rise of the younger sect leaders, and carefully pushed the Celestial Dao Alliance and the Demonic Abyss League into position. Now, the final move would be theirs.

Li Yuexin's fiery aura flared around her, her golden-red eyes filled with excitement. "I'm tired of waiting. Let's end this. The Empire belongs to us. It's time for everyone else to realize that."

Qingyu's icy blue eyes glinted with determination. "Yes. The time for subtlety is over. The factions will fight among themselves for as long as they can. But when they're weak enough, we will step in and take control."

Yuexin's grin widened. "It'll be quick. We'll sweep them all aside and show them what real power looks like."

Qingyu nodded, her voice steady and resolute. "Let them think they control the world. When the dust settles, they will know who truly holds the power."

With a wave of her hand, Qingyu released her aura, her power filling the air around them. Li Yuexin followed suit, her fiery energy blazing in the night. Together, they stood as the undisputed rulers of the Empire, their power undeniable.

As the two Empresses prepared to make their move, the Empire was unaware of what was coming. The Celestial Dao Alliance, weakened by internal division, was still struggling to unite. The Demonic Abyss League, ever patient, was watching for the perfect moment to strike. But neither of them knew that Bai Qingyu and Li Yuexin had already taken control of the game. The final pieces had been put into place, and now the Empresses would move to claim their Empire.
