"Zhou Hong, what are you planning to do?" Zhou Sheng Gu asked Zhou Hong with a confused look.
"Grandfather, please notify all the Immortal Emperors in the entire Immortal Realm. Tell them that the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor has been captured and his life is in danger. Invite everyone to come and witness. As for the location, let's choose here."
"This... is it really necessary?"
"Completely necessary. I want to unify the Immortal and Demonic Realms."
"Alright." Zhou Sheng Gu nodded and immediately went to notify them.
Only Zhou Hong, the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor, and one of his attendants remained at the scene.
"Master." The attendant, seeing Zhou Hong stepping on his master, rushed forward.
"Let go of my master." The attendant roared at Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong's gaze turned cold. He really had no foresight. His master was already under his feet, yet this attendant dared to roar at Zhou Hong.
"Scram, or I'll kill you." Zhou Hong said coldly to the attendant.
"Let go of my master."
Zhou Hong felt helpless. Since he was so eager to die, he couldn't be blamed. Zhou Hong slapped him across the air, sending him flying. This time, he probably wouldn't get up again.
Seeing his disciple being flung away, the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor's face remained expressionless, as if he didn't care at all, like an outsider. But then again, he was in mortal danger himself, so how could he have the mood to care about two disciples? They were called disciples, but they were more like servants who looked after him.
"Senior, spare my life, I really didn't mean to." The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor continued to beg Zhou Hong pitifully.
"Heh heh, sparing your life is impossible. I can consider leaving you with your corpse intact. If you're willing, beg me to leave your corpse intact, and I might agree."
"Wuwuwu!" The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor started to cry.
"Don't blame me for playing dumb to catch the tiger. If you had acted properly and uprightly, you wouldn't have run into me. It's precisely because of your bad character that you've kicked an iron plate."
Seeing that Zhou Hong would never spare him, the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor decided to use his trump card.
"Senior, if you spare me, I can tell you a secret."
"What secret?" Zhou Hong's ears perked up. If it was truly useful information, Zhou Hong wouldn't mind exchanging his life for it.
"A secret about this world."
"Let's hear it." Zhou Hong's gaze slightly condensed. He was indeed very curious about the secret of this world. Were they all living in a sub-world created by someone more powerful, like a god?
"You have to promise me, spare my life." The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor pleaded.
"If the secret you tell is indeed worth exchanging for your life, I can let you go."
"Alright, I hope you are a person of your word. My secret is that our three strongest beings in the Immortal Realm, the so-called most primordial Immortal Emperors, are not people from the same world as us."
"Hmm? Not from the same world as us?"
"Yes, I've seen them before. Their behavior and demeanor simply don't match the title of the strongest Immortal Emperors. So I guess, all of us are currently living in someone's sub-world. This person is from a higher world than us, like the Divine Realm. We are definitely living in a sub-world of some god. In fact, this is easy to deduce, because each of us Immortal Emperors has complete three-layered sub-worlds, let alone gods."
"Heh heh!" Zhou Hong couldn't help but chuckle. However, his smile wasn't one of mockery, but rather because what the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor said seemed to align with his own suspicions.
When Zhou Hong was in the Demonic Realm, he had also met the two strongest Demon Emperors. They were both women, and their behavior and demeanor didn't match what was expected of the strongest Demon Emperors. At that time, Zhou Hong had also wondered if they were from a higher realm.
"Senior, is this secret enough to exchange for my life?" the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor asked.
"What kind of secret is this? I already suspected this long ago." Zhou Hong snorted slightly, only to be met with such groundless speculation.
"Senior, whether you believe it or not, we are all living in a world created by someone stronger. Even if you kill me, what difference does it make? You are just a worm in someone else's sub-world." The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor, seeing that Zhou Hong refused to let him go, cursed in anger.
"That's right, we are indeed worms living in someone else's world." Zhou Hong did not deny it.
"Since we are both worms, why should worms trouble worms? Spare this worm's life, I beg you."
"Alright, but after all the Immortal Emperors arrive, let them decide. If they decide to spare you, then I will spare you."
"Okay." The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor nodded helplessly, praying in his heart that those Immortal Emperors would be willing to intercede for him.
Thus, about half a day later.
All the more than a hundred Immortal Emperors in the entire Immortal Realm had arrived.
Upon their arrival, the first thing they saw was the once powerful and invincible Dragon Might Ancient Emperor, being stepped on by a young man.
As a result, all the Immortal Emperors consciously knelt down, as if afraid that any disrespect might bring about a deadly calamity.
"Everyone is here, right?" Zhou Hong called out.
"Replying to Senior, most of them are here." Said an Immortal Emperor kneeling at the forefront.
"Esteemed Immortal Emperors, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zhou Hong, and I come from the Demonic Realm. I am the strongest Demon Emperor, possessing over a thousand worlds' power..." Zhou Hong introduced himself, as not many in the Immortal Realm knew him.
However, when everyone heard that Zhou Hong was Zhou Sheng Gu's grandson, their faces showed disbelief. A few Immortal Emperors who had previously put on airs before Zhou Sheng Gu were now trembling, but Zhou Hong had no intention of pursuing them.
"Everyone, whether this Dragon Might Ancient Emperor lives or dies, is up to you to decide. Let's vote now. Those who agree to spare his life, please raise your hands." Zhou Hong asked loudly.
The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor seized the opportunity and shouted, "Esteemed Immortal Emperors, help me, spare my life!"
However, no one raised their hand.
The Dragon Might Ancient Emperor was disappointed, seemingly unable to understand why no one raised their hand.
"Esteemed Immortal Emperors, as long as you raise your hands, I can live. Don't worry, I believe that Zhou Hong will not hold it against you if you raise your hands."
Zhou Hong also said, "That's right, I will not take vengeance on anyone for raising their hand."
At this moment, one of the Immortal Emperors spoke, "Senior Zhou Hong, kill him if you wish. This Dragon Might Ancient Emperor, when he was powerful, we all dared not offend him. We often had to visit him. He was very arrogant and temperamental. In fact, we were all unhappy with him. We just didn't dare to say anything because no one was his match. For so many years, we have been oppressed by him. If he dies, then he dies. Why should we raise our hands to save him?"
"Yes, Senior Zhou Hong, kill him if you wish."
Other Immortal Emperors also expressed that they had no pity for the Dragon Might Ancient Emperor, as they had been oppressed by him and were unhappy for a long time.
