<h4>Chapter 1011: Shaking the Realm</h4>


    He who was once the ninth prince, whom no one looked favorably on—he had aplished an overwhelming feat that none other had done.


    With his rule, the scaleman world would only grow stronger.


    The crown prince didn''t think that he would have been able to do the same. He hadn''t been able to defend against the initial tide of ck spirits, and he was even certain that his father, the past emperor, would likewise have failed.


    However, his ninth brother had done so. The rtionship he had formed with Zhang Lie before his ascension to the throne had, in some sense, guaranteed his sess now.


    After the ck spirits, the former crown prince waspletely convinced by the new king''s ability as a ruler. For the remainder of his life, he had decided to be the garrisonmander, to serve and guard the kingdom that his brother had given so much to build.


    The members of the three great ns of the scaleman world, looking at their emperor shrouded in light, gazed at him in aplicated fashion.


    No one had expected the former ninth prince to aplish such an incredible deed.


    At this point, few even remembered that he had been the weakest among all the princes, the most powerless, the prince that everyone had ignored.


    The three great ns all thought that the former ninth prince was the least likely candidate to be king, that he would most likely have perished in the struggle for session, that he was so useless he wasn''t even a pawn to be taken advantage of.


    His status was the only valuable thing about him—if he were to live, he would be able to im a patch ofnd from the new emperor, where he could happily live out an ordinary, unassuming life.


    All those in power in the capital at the time knew that the ninth prince was a piece of trash, an invisible man, whom everyone could bully. To think that he had ended up emperor, venerated by those around him, on the cusp of evolving the scaleman world to a superior one...!


    Under his rule, the scaleman world was reaching the apex of the three thousand worlds of the third realm, a vaunted height that would bring the inhabitants of the world unlimited rewards.


    The former ninth prince''s road to emperor had been an arduous one, almost as though it belonged to a novel. The orphaned youth, now ruler over millions...


    Before the former ninth prince''s ascent to strength, only one man stood by his side.


    This man, whom the kings and leaders of countless world now venerated as their ruler, had once been nothing more than a weakling, who would have fallen to his death with a single wrong step.


    He had danced between life and death quite a few times—but as the princes who were strongpetitors to the throne fell one by one, the second prince, protected by the Jian n; the third prince, who killed himself; the fourth prince...


    Of the nine princes, the only two remaining were the crown and ninth princes. The ninth prince, who had sessfully traversed countless obstacles in his way, finally took the throne.


    Many didn''t understand why the ninth prince had ascended over the crown prince, but they had all bowed down and acknowledged the former ninth prince''s rule upon theing of the ck tide.


    The ninth prince, not the crown prince, had been the one to protect the world in its time of need.


    Against the onught, all other kings and leaders had fallen—all save the former ninth prince. For his sess, he was venerated and given fealty by the other kings, bringing the scaleman world to an unprecedented level of sess.


    At the altar in the center of the capital, the egg enclosed by the rainbow pir of light began to crack. As the crack propagated, the king of the scaleman world emerged from his shell, his body still bathed in rainbow light.


    As naturalw danced around him, as the world''s energy condensed, a rainbow-colored corona appeared behind the king. He looked down on all who gathered around him, as though he stood at the peak of the world.


    The aliens within and without the capital felt a strong pressure on their backs, the likes of which they had never felt before. They knelt and prostrated themselves, and someone called out, "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    All others echoed the chant. "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    The waves of sound echoed through the capital, wave after wave, and spread even beyond that.


    "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    "We congratte the king of the realm on his sessful ascent. May his light bless a thousand worlds, may his mightst forevermore!"


    The voices of the citizens echoed throughout the world.


    Bolstered by the world''s energy, the king''s strength increased dramatically. He exuded an aura the likes of which couldn''t be replicated.


    Naturalw surrounded him, as blinding as the sun, scorching those who dared to look directly at him.


    After the world''s evolution, the scaleman king had gained a measure of divinity, one that each superior king possessed, and which couldn''t be replicated even by others who were as strong as superior kings.


    Those aliens who looked directly at the sr king would find their eyes scorched; those who looked directly at the frost queen would have even their blood and heart freeze; those who looked directly at the king of ck fog would themselves be surrounded by fog, and even swallowed up.


    Those who looked at the king of evil would melt; those who looked at the decaying king would likewise melt; those who looked at the king of keys would go crazy; those who looked at the king of chaos would be night growlers; those who looked at Li Zongming would feel a stabbing pain in their eyes.


    Even the clones of the king of chaos carried traces of that divinity. Those who looked at Nightdemon would feel a sense of fear.


    Of course, not everyone would be subject to these consequences. A certain level of strength conferred immunity or drastic weakening of these effects. For instance, someone like Zhang Lie wouldn''t be affected.


    The ninth prince''s voice echoed through the evolved world. "The merger of the worlds isplete. From today onwards, the scaleman world is a superior world!"


    Everyone cheered, and their cheers echoed through the air.


    Just as the inhabitants of both worlds cheered in joy, the superior worlds were roused to action.


    In the world of zing sun, a humanoid figure leaned against a golden mulberry tree. Beneath its feet was scorching earth and soil, and a hundred suns revolved around the mulberry tree''s branches. Ten suns hung in the sky.


    "Another superior world—and two of them simultaneously, at that!"


    As the sr king felt the disturbance in the world''s energy in the third realm, sr res formed all over his body, and the ten suns behind him glowed with piercing light.


    When the sr king sensed the direction from which the two superior worlds came, he gritted his teeth. "Damn it, why are they both within the Zongming world''s jurisdiction? Just what''s going on over there for superior worlds to be popping up one after the other? The Zongming world''s bad enough—but two more, now? Why don''t I ever get this lucky?"
