The Star Gate remained shut, preventing New Martial powerhouses from leaving Silver Moon. The world had risen in status. If it was labeled as a minor world before, it counted as a mid world now. Although it didn’t measure up to New Martial’s main world, there were countless opportunities and fortune to be had in Silver Moon now. It was no longer the Silver Moon of old. In its current form, even exalted emperors would be tempted. The heavenly will had fallen and there was no master of the world. There were, however, two masters of dao. Would they fight each other? A variety of thoughts swirled in everyone’s minds as powerhouses crossed through the void from the central continent. The two masters of dao were present, as were the various Saints of New Martial, the Great Li king, and the somewhat recovered queen... Silver City was now a sea. A mulberry field had turned into a vast sea—no one would believe that this had been Li Hao’s hometown if they looked at it now. It had been a city a few days ago, but was now a body of water that the Forbidden Sea coursed through. Hong Yitang walked out, looking at the firmament with slightly reddened eyes. The urge to cry gripped him, but quickly vanished. Men of Silver Moon did not easily shed their tears. Not too far away, a black dog’s nose twitched as it sniffed that familiar smell, failing to find more of it. It whined softly. In the air, a half dead person stood unmoving, as if it’d died in the final moments of battle. “If I may be so bold as to ask Senior Celestial Pole, is our marquis dead or alive?” Hong Yitang boomed like a bell, shaking the hearts of listeners! Celestial Pole didn’t answer; the young man was naturally dead. The tribulation had been a world-ending cataclysm, not to mention that Li Hao had spontaneously lost all of his strength and given up all vitality to resurrect Lin Hongyu. It already exceeded expectations that the young man could execute the Exalted Bone Eclipse Emperor in his final moments. No one felt that he could bring peace to the world with one battle, not to mention that he was dead. “He’s dead...” Celestial Pole sighed when he looked at Hong Yitang. “Li Hao was truly a brilliant genius who was a cut above the rest. Of all the people I’ve ever met, there are only two or three who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him!” It wasn’t that Li Hao was unparalleled, but at the same time, one needed to consider Celestial Pole’s perspective. This was an existence who’d experienced Initial Martial, Core Origin, New Martial, the various ages of Silver Moon, the Heavenly Emperor, nine emperors, four sovereigns, various gods of Initial Martial, Supreme Zhang and the Human King of New Martial... He didn’t give second thought to the countless heroes and endless exalted emperors that he knew. When he said that Li Hao was matched by only two or three, the Human King was among that number. It was clear to see from this that there were very few from time immemorial who could compare to Li Hao! And yet, that sort of answer wasn’t satisfactory. The world stilled. Everyone looked on with weighty expressions of gravity and sorrow. Too many emotions were encompassed within that they could not be described. Li Hao was truly dead! “If I may ask the senior, has Silver Moon world risen as a whole?” Gan Wuliang asked solemnly. This question drew furious glances at him from some. Why are you asking this now? “It has!” Celestial Pole nodded after a moment of silence. “If we categorize it simply, then a world that can produce an exalted emperor is a minor world. Exalted emperors can become masters of the world. Silver Moon didn’t even qualify as a minor world before because it never had any locally born exalted emperors! “A world that can produce multiple exalted emperors counts as a mid world. Those that can produce large numbers of exalted emperors and personages stronger, such as the Human King, Ash Emperor, and Sun God count as a true major world! “Silver Moon has leapfrogged over being a minor world and progressed toward being a mid world! Due to the presence of a dao universe in this world, there is destined to be more than one exalted emperor that appears here. With the chaos now part of Silver Moon and expanding it, it is only a matter of time before numerous exalted emperors appear!” They’d ascended to the heavens in one step! If it hadn’t been for the fighting being too ferocious and the tribulation being so overwhelming, Li Hao, Li Daoheng, and Zheng Yu might have emerged as exalted emperors on this day. They counted as Silver Moon denizens. Their forefathers might have come from the New Martial mai world, but they themselves had been born on Silver Moon. A deathly silence reigned. Silver Moon was progressing toward a mid-level world. Although it was less than New Martial, this had been a world born from energy drifting off of the New Martial main world to begin with. Now it had officially broken free of New Martial and could produce its own exalted emperors. Hong Yitang flicked a glance at Gan Wuliang out of the corner of his eye. He suppressed all of his emotions and looked at Lin Hongyu again. The woman continued to remain silent, like she’d truly died. The man scanned the premises, all of the New Martial Saints and powerhouses were milling around uncertainty. Li Hao’s death had thrown them all into disarray! There was no time for Hong Yitang to grieve. He only had one thought in his mind—Silver Moon belongs to Li Hao. As for the corporeal dao universe, it doesn’t matter who comes for it, it’s mine! There was too much contained within it. Yuan Shuo, Liu Long, Hou Xiaochen... These were people that Li Hao cared about. Though they’d died, there was a chance for them to be revitalized. This chance lay within the corporeal dao universe. When Li Hao transferred ownership to Hong Yitang, he’d mentioned it again that this was the only part of the dao universe that he cared about. Now that Hong Yitang was sixth level Fused Dao, the equivalent of peak Empyrean King, there were still others stronger than him in this world. There was Celestial Pole, Zhang An... Indeed, the inconspicuous Zhang An had joined hands with the Great Li king earlier to fight Zheng Yu. His strength had been a sight to behold. There were also numerous New Martial Saints around! Other than them, there was an equally strong Gan Wuliang. The queen was formidable at her core after devouring the Moon God, though she was slightly weak at the moment. Every single one of them was a premier heavyweight. Even Dao Sword had set foot into fourth level Fused Dao, despite being a casual pawn that Li Daoheng had tossed out. Having received some of Li Daoheng’s knowledge, Dao Sword was an Empyrean King now. All of these people would impact Silver Moon. As these thoughts ran through his mind, Hong Yitang marshaled his attention. He kept his unease, agitation, fury, and despair in line. His expression was as calm as usual. “Senior, the Silver Moon marquis has filled in for the heavenly will. So long as the world exists and time marches on, I think there exists a possibility for him to return. “Some of his dao stars remain in the dao universe. That means he can be resurrected, right? In all of history, there has only been the Silver Moon marquis who has accomplished his achievements and stood at his heights. Could mere thunder and lightning destroy him?” Hong Yitang stepped forward, his face calm. “Therefore, I’d like to summon everyone and gather my corporeal dao. We will utilize the people’s will and awaken the marquis from death. Does the senior think... we can succeed?” Celestial Pole’s heart jolted and he looked at Hong Yitang. The people who stood in front of him... were not acting according to his expectations. Li Hao’s death might sadden them, but they were keeping their energies focused on business and didn’t fall apart at the seams. On the contrary, those who normally stayed out of affairs and operations were stepping forward, wanting to rearrange the banners and drums so that Silver Moon wouldn’t crumble! “That’s right, if you need help from my immaterial dao, I will do everything I can to revive His Lordship!” Gan Wuliang quickly said. “I can put down my life for the process if there is need, so please give us some pointers, senior!” “We need to resurrect His Lordship!” Director General Zhao suddenly said. “No matter what the cost is! Everyone, although the various powerhouses have been killed, we are certain to have raised attention after the disturbance of two chaos tribulations in a row. We may be situated in the Red Moon universe right now. It’d be fine if we were in New Martial airspace, but if Red Moon... one of their exalted emperors just died. When he did, some Red Moon dao notes could be heard in our world! “If the marquis does not come back to us, does anyone here think they could fight a Red Moon exalted emperor?” The director general looked around. “Let’s not say multiple, let’s just say one. Who can stand against them at the moment? “Perhaps it’ll be one of those that stand a chance to rise to exalted emperor, such as Earthturner Sword or Gan Wuliang. Or perhaps even the Great Li king and western queen,” Director General Zhao spoke assertively. “All of you stand a chance of doing so, but just ask yourselves, if Red Moon’s powerhouses come at us, will you be able to lead Silver Moon in resisting them? “We must find an opportunity right now and pay whatever price is demanded of us to revive the marquis!” the director general concluded in ringing tones. “Only then is there hope. With his leadership, we will be able to find New Martial or defend ourselves! “The marquis has always led with a fair hand and adhered to a meritocracy! There is no difference between New Martial or Silver Moon, no division of nobility and peasantry. Whether it is General Gan or Director General Wang, both of you come from different factions and ages. “Yet you are all the same in his eyes. He has never treated you differently!” The old man’s tones turned earnest. “Us Silver Moon martial masters, such as Sky Sword of the Fused Dao realm, Corporeal Dao Master Earthturner Sword, the soon-to-be Fused Dao Tyrant Blade, me, Ole Zhou of the Fused Dao realm, the five commanders of the Demon Hunter Guard, Commander-in-Chief Huang Yu... All of us wish to bring the marquis back! Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 “We wish for him to be our leader and bring us to new heights! No one can represent Silver Moon other than Marquis Li Hao!” He spoke calmly, but the connotations beneath his words drew one to solemn attention. Anyone trying to seize power would be executed by the Silver Moon martial masters! There were numerous powerhouses among the Silver Moon contingent—Hong Yitang stood at the top, backed up by those such as Director General Zhao and Deputy Zhou. Every single one of them was formidable. Their only thought now was to resurrect Li Hao, whether that was possible or not! They would make the attempt even if there was no hope of success, even if it was just a show. They needed to stabilize the world and find a way to ensure that society continued to operate. “The marquis may be temporarily gone, but the marquise is still here.” Director General Zhao quickly glanced at Lin Hongyu in the air. “She killed an exalted emperor with one stroke—proof of her strength as well! No one is able to match her power and authority! “We request that the marquise take the reins and lead all sides to search for a way to resurrect the marquis!” The director general’s voice boomed like a bell. “Please brace yourself, my lady. If the marquis could utilize time and pull you out of hell, then surely he can do so for himself!”
