Chapter 2766

Black Emperor’s heart stirred, as if a thought had just struck her. "If Empress Yan passes this trial, she will be the first Medical Sovereign among the Seven Great Universes."

"Indeed," Empress Hou and the others nodded slightly.

Black Emperor continued, "Normally, a Medical Sovereign should ascend within their own universe. But Empress Yan is in the Primordial Universe. Do you think this implies something else?"

Emperor Yan paused, then took another sip of wine. "The path of medicine is hard to cultivate."

"Yes, it is difficult. Especially when combined with the Dao of Heart, it becomes even harder," Black Emperor said slowly. "Do you think another Medical Sovereign will appear in the Seven Great Universes?"

The gods were stunned, staring at Black Emperor.

Black Emperor smiled faintly. "What? Is my statement wrong?"

Empress Hou asked, "Do you mean Empress Yan’s ascension in the Primordial Universe is to prove she is the only Medical Sovereign across the Seven Great Universes?"

"But there are many Medical Gods," Empress Hou pointed out.

"I am merely guessing. Look, so far, those who have reached the position of Sovereign Lord seem to have unique roles. Even within our universe, each Sovereign Lord manages different aspects and possesses different abilities," Black Emperor reminded them.

Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Black Emperor is right. I have noticed this too."

Indeed, although every universe had an Underworld, only Yan Aohan had opened the Yanluo Realm. He was the only Yanluo Sovereign Lord. The others were merely administrators of the Underworld.

"Have you heard the legends?" Immortal Emperor spoke up. "When the nine universes are born, they will merge into one. Many legends speak of a true War of the Gods."

"If no Sovereign Lord has duplicate abilities, does that mean the 'merging into one' refers to the nine universes coexisting under joint management? Each Sovereign Lord would manage a specific aspect across all nine universes simultaneously," Black Emperor said slowly.

When Black Emperor finished speaking, the gods present were dumbfounded. If this were true, the so-called War of the Nine Universes was nothing but an absurd rumor.

"Black Emperor, keep it up," Yan Aohan suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Black Emperor looked at Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan grinned. "If our guess is correct, then unless something unexpected happens, the only war in the nine universes should be among the ruling Sovereign Lords. Whoever wins becomes the First Sovereign Lord, followed by the second, third, up to the ninth. It has nothing to do with us."

Immortal Emperor’s eyes lit up. "Right! It seems so. Except for the ruling Sovereign Lords, the others have no need to fight because their abilities do not overlap. Even if they merge, everyone is responsible for different areas."

Black Emperor looked at Yan Aohan. "So you want me to compete for the top position?"

"Isn't that natural?" Yan Aohan smiled at Black Emperor. "Otherwise, can you bear to increase our workload?"

Black Emperor raised an eyebrow. "I think even if I am not first, your workload will not decrease."

There was only one Yanluo Realm so far. If their guess was true, it meant Yan Aohan would manage the Yanluo Realms of all nine universes. Thus, Yan Aohan had no reason to mock Black Emperor.

Yan Aohan said calmly, "I have my son to help me manage it."

So he was a hands-off boss, unafraid of heavy work.

Black Emperor gave Yan Aohan a thumbs-up. "You are awesome."

She had no choice. Although she had sons, they showed no interest in her position. Even if she handed everything over to them, they ignored it, living carefree lives. Thinking of it made her angry. What was the point of having so many sons? Yan Aohan’s adopted son was much more satisfying.

"All these guesses depend on Empress Yan becoming a Medical Sovereign. Aren't you speaking too soon?" Fire Emperor reminded them.

Although Black Emperor often bickered with Yan Aohan, she focused on serious matters. "Emperor Yan, you know Empress Yan’s abilities best. Can she pass?"

Yan Aohan’s lips curled up slightly. "If anyone in this world can pass, it must be my wife."

Zhu Yanyi was unaware of Yan Aohan’s confidence. She was currently facing the challenge of making medicine from flowers.

Her knowledge of flowers was average, but this moment required complete understanding. So, Zhu Yanyi did not immediately use the flowers to make medicine. Instead, she sat cross-legged, pondering and recalling the effects of various flowers.

She sat in meditation for half a year. Di Yuan watched her closed eyes, wanting to see her ability.

Half a year later, she opened her eyes, stood up, and began using flowers to make medicine.

Watching the flowers transform into various medicines, Di Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed Zhu Yanyi’s medical knowledge was truly vast.

To be honest, although the Demon Abyss had a path to ascend to Sovereign Lord, not every god could activate it. Zhu Yanyi’s activation was an accident. Because it was accidental, Di Yuan had not been optimistic about her. But watching her pass each trial, she suddenly felt hopeful, hoping she could pass all eighty-one trials.

The situation outside was not good. Originally just a demon-slaying competition, the presence of Evil Emperor seemed to restrict the abilities of all gods.

Di Yuan watched the screen, seeing the Evil God slaying demons alone. He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. Since he could not stop it, he might as well push it forward.

No one knew that under Di Yuan’s influence, the entire demon-slaying map had been slightly adjusted.

Cloud Emperor returned after slaying demons for the day. Hua Emperor saw him and smiled lightly. "It seems today’s task was not heavy for you."

Cloud Emperor smiled elegantly. "We have cooperated for so many years. When have you ever seen me find demon-slaying tasks heavy?"

Hua Emperor noticed Cloud Emperor seemed to have returned to normal. Since Cloud Emperor brought news to Emperor Yan, he had seemed normal. Hua Emperor should have felt relieved, but for some reason, he felt even more uneasy.

But Cloud Emperor did not seem to miss Zhu Yanyi anymore. Hua Emperor could not point it out. The only thing she could do was watch Cloud Emperor complete her tasks daily with elegance and ease.

"I wonder how things are in the Ancient Universe?" Hua Emperor asked casually.

Cloud Emperor looked at the sky. Although there was nothing there, he felt a sense of suffocation. "I don’t know. I hope the gods of the Ancient Universe can be strong. No matter how powerful Evil Emperor is, he cannot fight against the gods of an entire universe."
