### Chapter 4: Female Emperor (1)
==============================
【Ding! Under the influence of lv8 Luck, you have consumed 8000 Luck Points and become the legendary Human Emperor!】
【Human Emperor form lasts for 6 hours.】
“After the Human Emperor form disappears, I’ll still be in Spirit Body, right?”
Lin Nan was not reassured by the system and had to confirm it several times.
【You have triggered an immense Luck in this dimension; further system prompts could potentially cause a collapse of this dimension. Please explore relevant information on your own.】
【Be aware: Your every word and action must generally match the appearance of the Human Emperor. If your character collapses significantly, it could result in serious consequences.
Including but not limited to dimensional collapse, spirit body dissolution, or complete annihilation of NPCs…】
cr*p! I knew it would be something like this.
The moment she possessed this persona, her heart skipped a beat—she knew something was off.
She had originally worried that Leng Yi would become a big boss like Liao Chen, but under the influence of high Luck levels, she had unintentionally become the Human Emperor herself.
Fate had a wicked sense of humor when it came to humans.
Well, it was what it was. Now that she had no way to turn back, she had to face the current situation head-on and see if she could prevent things from getting worse within those six hours.
If that guy Liao Chen became unsatisfied and went on a rampage, at least she’d need to protect those NPCs following her!
“Crack crack…”
All the Fallen Species in the underground palace suddenly had their heads exploded, black bl**d mixing with white brain matter splattering everywhere.
The now-surviving Fatty and others were stunned, staring at the woman in the white dress emerging from the stone coffin, hardly able to believe their eyes.
“G…Great King?”
Fatty asked tentatively.
The woman in white didn’t respond at all. Instead, as she revived, all the statues that had seemed like mere decorations embedded in the walls sprang to life.
Most of those statues were various animals, with a few humans mixed in.
When they opened their eyes again, the very first thing they did was kneel in an orderly fashion before the Human Emperor, all chanting in unison, “We pay our respects, Your Majesty.”
Lin Nan slightly nodded.
Looking up at the ceiling, she realized that as the Human Emperor, her power was nearly unmatched in the entire Low Martial World.
But there were exceptions, like her old rival, the Demon Emperor.
Even though a thick layer of rock separated them, she could still distinctly sense a powerful force outside waiting for her arrival.
Was the battle of fate ultimately unavoidable?
At that moment, Leng Yi had already exited the room where the magic array had failed.
Even now, he could hardly believe that Frost North Snow and the Human Emperor seemed like they were cut from the same mold, with a match rate of almost 99%.
At least in his eyes, aside from a big difference in aura, their faces and figures were exceedingly similar.
If it weren’t for everyone having witnessed Frost North Snow and Liao Chen leave,
they would definitely think the newly awakened Human Emperor was the saintess of the Demon Sect.
However, for some reason, every time he saw the face that had once stirred something in him, those old feelings began to emerge again.
He suddenly realized that what had dazzled him from the start was indeed her exquisitely perfect face!
Although up to this point, he still couldn’t be sure the Human Emperor had nothing to do with Frost North Snow.
What he could confirm was that he was becoming more and more interested in the Human Emperor.
“Your Majesty, the Human Emperor.”
Leng Yi stood tall in front of Lin Nan, “I challenge you! Only the victor is worthy of the title ‘Human Emperor.’”
“Get lost!”
Lin Nan hadn’t even moved a finger when Leng Yi suddenly felt as though he had been hit by a heavy hammer, getting slammed against the wall. Even his well-trained body felt like all his bones had shattered.
Ha, this Leng Yi still didn’t realize that even at the pinnacle of the Low Martial World, there was an immense gap between him and the powerful beings of the Demon, Magic, and Immortal realms.
How dare he challenge the Human Emperor? Talk about not knowing his own mortality!
If it weren’t for the fact that he was Liao Chen’s avatar, that punishment could have instantly wiped him out.
In the shocked gazes of the mountain stronghold’s crowd and the Giant Wave Gang members, Leng Yi fell to the ground with a “thud” from his pinned position against the wall.
No one had expected their strongest guy would be so easily defeated by the Human Emperor, who hadn’t even lifted a finger to crush him.
The gap between them wasn’t something that could be quantitated by mere numbers.
“Your Majesty! I, Leng Yi, wish to pledge my loyalty to you!”
In pain, Leng Yi barely managed to kneel beside Lin Nan as she was about to leave the underground palace.
If you can’t beat someone, join them—that was the survival philosophy he had developed after long years of fighting in the waters.
Right and wrong had never been the priority for water bandits.
Moreover, the Human Emperor had a face that made his heart race; even just gazing at her from a distance filled him with satisfaction.
【Ding! Evil Shiyuan’s favorability towards you is 70%.】
【You have gained 5000 Luck Points; you currently have 5000 Luck Points.】
Lin Nan, “…”
Who would have thought that this Leng Yi had some masochistic tendencies? She initially just intended to show him who was boss, yet this favorability went up like crazy.
Interesting.
She thought the fourth side quest to conquer Leng Yi was about to come to a standstill, but he had come right to her doorsteps.
“I need to assess your sincerity.”
The words of the woman in white carried no emotion, but to Leng Yi, they were like heavenly music.
“I will not let Your Majesty down.”
Leng Yi clasped his hands together.
Ever since the Female Emperor had wiped out the Fallen Species in the underground palace, possibly receiving orders from above, all the Fallen Species rapidly retreated from the underground palace. Except for those statues that had just come to life and pledged loyalty, the rest were only the remaining townsfolk and members of the Giant Wave Gang.
Fatty timidly shrank back behind the crowd, stealing glances at the Human Emperor every now and then.
“Trissa, do you think she’s really the Great King…? I called her just now, and she didn’t even respond.”
The latter took out a four-stringed harp and gently stroked its strings.
“Once we go up, we can directly ask the Great King. I’m sure the Bald Man and the Great King have finished their private matters and returned to the stronghold by now.”
Fatty shrugged. “You saying that is like saying nothing at all. If we could see the Great King, would we even have such questions?”
Trissa replied, “Well, that solves that. But I have a feeling this Human Emperor may not be as hard to deal with as we thought. Perhaps she and our Great King are sisters. Otherwise, how do you explain their striking resemblance?”
Outside the underground palace.
The entire sky seemed to be filled with a horde of Fallen Species, who were occasionally raiding surrounding towns, turning terrified fleeing people into mere dry skins.
Liao Chen didn’t care about his subordinates going on a killing spree; all his energy was focused on the underground palace below.
He could sense that the Human Emperor was right inside.
Defeating the Human Emperor would allow him to redeem his mistakes.
