Chapter 1428 The First Celestial Emperor

1428 The First Celestial Emperor

"Messenger from the Celestial Palace, what purpose do you have here in my city?" Tian Xian spoke as he gazed upon the messenger from his seat.

The messenger looked at Tian Xian's arrogant presence with a slight frown on his face, but he refrained from saying anything, as his mission was to recruit Tian Xian.

"I am here on behalf of His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor." The messenger said as he retrieved a scroll and unsealed it.

"Tian Xian, one recognized as the God of War, immortal of the battlefield, your war stories have reached even I, the first Celestial Emperor, emperor of the Divine Heavens. As an admirer of your indomitable presence on the battlefield, I hereby offer you a position in my Celestial Army as its Supreme General. As the Supreme General, you will have unimaginable authority within the army, second only to I, the Celestial Commander."

"Should you accept this position, I shall grant you unlimited wealth, unfathomable power, widespread fame, as well as any single wish within my authority as the ruler of the Divine Heaven."

"..."

Tian Xian listened to the Celestial Emperor's message with a nonchalant expression on his face. If it were anybody else in his shoes, they would've been jumping up and down in excitement over such a generous offer.

The position of Celestial Emperor came into existence about 100,000 years ago when the patriarch of the most powerful family in the Divine Heaven decided to rule over the Divine Heaven.

Despite facing considerable opposition from various factions and individuals who questioned the idea of bestowing such immense power and authority upon a single individual, the patriarch had an equal amount of support from those who stood to gain from it.

Thus, the Celestial Emperor came into existence with half of the Divine Heaven against it and the other half supporting it. With the passage of time, the influence of the Celestial Emperor extended its reach, gradually engulfing the entire Divine Heaven.

The power of the Celestial Emperor grew to such an extent that defiance against it became an act of inevitable self-

destruction, as his enemies faced swift and merciless judgment, leaving little room for opposition or resistance.

The unchecked power and authority wielded by the Celestial Emperor became a tool for exploitation, not only by the Emperor himself but also by those who surrounded him, leading to corruption and manipulation on an unprecedented scale.

Under the dominion of the Celestial Emperor, cultivation resources, precious treasures, and even the natural phenomena of the world fell under its exclusive control. Those who did not submit to its authority were barred from accessing these vital assets, forcing all to pledge allegiance or face deprivation.

In response to the tyrannical rule of the Celestial Emperor, countless individuals came together and challenged its oppressive regime, sparking the conflict known as the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods.
