The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 174: Light Church Court Edict

"Helena is indeed very cautious, she hasn’t disclosed your identity to the outside world. Among the countries on the Divine Protection Continent, who knows how many spies from the Demon Race there are? If your identity were revealed and the news reached the Miracle World, who knows how the Demon Race might react in terror?"

Xiya isn’t without a sense of humor, it’s just that her focus is more proper. Because Lynn’s identity is so special, no one can predict what the high-ranking members of the Demon Realm would think if they saw him. So unless he decides to go to the battlefield and actively wage war against the Demon Race, there’s really no need to advertise his presence all over the continent.

After all, compared to fame and fortune, what he loves is the beautiful lady he can hold in his arms...

"However, what she’s doing might be gratifying, but it’s not conducive to future communication. Even though the Emperors of the Five Nations are more human-like compared to the Late Emperor of the Celestial Mandate, they aren’t particularly magnanimous. Later on, Lynn, you might still need to have private talks with them to clear things up."

Xiya, being of the Elf Race, doesn’t particularly advocate solving problems with force, but that’s the current situation. The Emperors of the Five Nations are legitimate Divine Blood Descendants and are unlikely to easily retract their decrees and embarrass themselves. So unless there is a public announcement like "His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor is here," they’ll have to be convinced physically by Lynn.

No matter how proud the Emperors of the Five Nations are or how much they cherish their dignity, they wouldn’t bark wildly with a knife at their throats, would they?

"It’s really troublesome. It would be easier if they were all together, but they’re scattered across five countries, and just using the teleportation array might take several days."

Lynn curled his lips and said, very displeased. He still has matters concerning the safety of the entire Divine Protection Continent... No, the Miracle World’s safety to handle, where would he find the time to mess around with a few emperors whose reputation is only ten times better than the foolish Emperor of the Celestial Mandate Empire?

He isn’t a Near God Mage who has mastered the Law of Space to its initial stages. Depending on the existing teleportation magic arrays to travel to the capitals of the Five Nations would truly take a significant amount of time, and if anything went wrong on the way, he might not make it back for his coronation ceremony in the Demon Realm.

That’s the most crucial thing that cannot be delayed in the slightest. If push comes to shove, he’ll have to intimidate two of the nations first and let the remaining three understand the essence on their own.

"No matter how troublesome it is, you have to take this trip because if you don’t, the trouble will only increase."

Xiya is also speechless about the kill orders issued by the Emperors of the Five Nations. Even a gentle elf like her is infuriated by the foolish actions of these Five Nations’ emperors. But regardless of how foolish these Emperors are, they truly must be made to rescind the kill orders.

Of course, Lynn isn’t afraid of anyone coming to kill him, but if someone did attempt to capture him because of the kill orders, what should he do?

Kill them all in retaliation? There are bound to be innocent people among them, and many would believe that someone simultaneously wanted by the Five Great Empires must be a vicious villain.

Lynn is a World-saving Hero, not the Demon King of Chaos. He couldn’t possibly slay the ignorant warriors coming with a sense of justice, could he?

But if he doesn’t kill them, constantly being watched by top continental powerhouses, bounty hunters, and "heroes of justice," who could live in peace?

It might not be just most of the continent. Although the Giant Dragon Empire and the Light Empire haven’t issued kill orders for Lynn, it doesn’t mean their nation’s strong won’t be tempted. Gold coins might not attract much external support, but a Divine Artifact could.

"It’s really infuriating; my aversion to stupidity is about to act up! Xiya, you go home first. I’ll head to the Eagle Empire."

The other empires are further from the Celestial Mandate Empire, so it would take them a while to send people. But the Eagle Empire is a neighbor to the Celestial Mandate Empire. Not to say immediate, but within an hour, someone could come to kill him. If he doesn’t first deal with that side, even spending time with his wife would be uneasy for Lynn.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xiya nodded at his words. She also felt that Lynn had been wronged. Clearly, he’s the hero who saved the world, yet he still has to be tormented by his own people. If he weren’t so kind-hearted, he might have already harbored murderous intent.

And even if he truly had such thoughts, or even resorted to killing, so what?

This is the world he painstakingly saved. Even the world owes him a life; what’s wrong with killing a few fools?

It’s not like she’s just a kind-hearted elf; even the Holy Mother couldn’t criticize him...

"I’m leaving for now, you..."

"Ding!"

This was the third time Lynn’s speech was interrupted by an unfamiliar sound. Words were always stopped at the tip of his tongue, and even Lynn couldn’t stand it.

"What the hell..."

"A decree from His Holiness the Pope of Light: The Emperor of the Sunset Empire, Emperor of the Star Moon Empire, Emperor of the Eagle Empire, Emperor of the Endless Empire, and Emperor of the Lolan Empire intended to murder the Light Divine Envoy and have significant suspicion of colluding with demons. The above five emperors are no longer suitable to rule the Human Race Empire. Effective immediately, they are stripped of their titles as emperors of their respective empires and vice-presidents of the Continent Alliance Council. The Sunset Empire, Star Moon Empire, Eagle Empire, Endless Empire, and Lolan Empire shall be ruled temporarily by their Crown Princes. The aforementioned five countries shall immediately escort the five suspected traitors to the Holy Mountain of Light for trial, and the suspects shall not leave the Light Church Court until they are cleared of the accusation of being demon spies. The decree takes effect immediately, and any defiance will result in the Light Church Court exercising the right to cross-border capture. The suspects are advised not to resist, or the penalty will be tripled!"

The above is a very long announcement from the Light Church Court broadcast to the entire continent.

In this world, only sixteen people can broadcast such announcements continent-wide, and among these sixteen, the Saint Emperor of Light is the first among them.

Not only is he the strongest Saint Emperor of the Human Race, but he is also the Pope of the highest continental organization, the Light Church Court. Logically speaking, he should also be the Divine Envoy of the Light God King.

However, he just broadcast to the entire continent that the Emperors of the Five Nations intended to murder the Light Divine Envoy...

Who would dare to murder His Majesty the Saint Emperor of Light? Is their brain in their backside?

Not to mention his unparalleled world strength, just considering his status, no one would dare show the slightest disrespect.

Although the Eight Great Empires are all ruled by Divine Blood Descendants, there is the First Empire for empires, and His Majesty the God King among deities.

The Light Empire is now the leader of the Eight Great Empires, and the Light God is also the head of the Pantheon. As the representative of the Light God in the Miracle World, it wouldn’t just be a matter of intending to murder. Even murmuring an unpleasant word against the Light Divine Envoy would be a crime punishable by death a thousand times over.

Such an accusation, even the emperors of the Eight Great Empires couldn’t bear. To speak the truth, they might even be less able to bear it than ordinary people.

Because they have ancestors, Ancestral Gods, they may not represent the Ancestral God soul; but a mere descendant of Divine Blood plotting against the representative of the Light God King... What do you think the Ancestral God would think?
