However, the white-haired old woman violated the ancestral precepts of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom by interfering in the battle for the throne.

Now that the white-haired old woman's faction has been defeated, and a deep blood feud has been formed between the two sides, if they were to step in and save her, it would be equivalent to incurring the enmity of Luo Yue's side, a thankless task.

Moreover, the white-haired old woman might not even be grateful to them, and might even resent and blame them for not acting sooner, leading to the failure of her faction.

For a moment, both ancient ancestors hesitated and struggled, caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to intervene and save the white-haired old woman.

If they didn't save her, they would feel heartache watching the loss of the Phoenix Kingdom's top combat power.

But if they did save her, there would be no benefit to be gained...

Just as the two of them were hesitating, the battle in the imperial palace became even more intense.

Seeing that Luo Yue had gained the approval of the ancestral artifact, and the emperor of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom had been killed, the powerhouses of his faction were immediately filled with fear, their morale completely collapsed, and their combat power weakened significantly.

Su Chen, relying solely on the Heavenly Yang Divine Light Bell, displayed astonishing combat power, suppressing nine Heavenly Gods with his might, unparalleled in bravery.

The Old Locust Tree spent some time refining the Golden Law Sword.

In an instant, the Old Locust Tree, wielding two God-level treasures, experienced a surge in combat power, becoming terrifyingly powerful. In just a few dozen rounds, it nearly cleaved the white-haired old woman in half, severely injuring her!

Boom—

Just as the white-haired old woman was about to be killed, a dazzling and blazing crimson light rose from the depths of the imperial palace, transforming into a massive hand that blotted out the sky, slowly descending.

This hand exuded a grand aura, filling the firmament, terrifying beyond compare. It forcefully suppressed the Fire Emperor Cauldron and the Golden Law Sword, two God-level treasures, and grabbed the white-haired old woman, along with twelve other Heavenly God Realm experts from the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom, slowly retracting and disappearing into the depths of the imperial palace.

"Let this battle end here."

"The late emperor is dead, and Luo Yue shall be the new emperor."

"Bian Li's faction has been defeated. They are stripped of all status and privileges and exiled to the imperial mausoleum to atone for their crimes in the future."

An ancient and grand voice echoed from the depths of the imperial palace, like the voice of a god, rumbling and resounding, spreading throughout the entire imperial palace, bringing this battle to a close.

Bian Li was the name of the white-haired old woman.

"It's Lord Sacrificial Spirit!"

Upon seeing this, the two ancient ancestors in the depths of the imperial palace were immediately overjoyed, breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.

The Sacrificial Spirit sending the white-haired old woman and the twelve Heavenly Gods to the imperial mausoleum clearly meant that if the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom encountered a powerful enemy in the future, they would still have the opportunity to atone for their crimes.

If the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom remained peaceful, they would spend the rest of their lives in the imperial mausoleum, with no chance of ever coming out.

For the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom, this was the best solution, to avoid the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom's internal strife causing too much loss, repeating the mistakes of 200,000 years ago.

Two hundred thousand years ago, the two main branches of the imperial clan engaged in internal strife, both sides suffering heavy casualties, leading to a sharp decline in the overall strength of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom, almost being besieged by other ancient kingdoms, in a precarious situation.

Now, if the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom were to lose thirteen more Heavenly Gods, the loss would be too great.

After all, Luo Yue's faction didn't have many powerhouses. Only the Old Locust Tree and Su Chen could hold the line, and they needed the combat power of the white-haired old woman's faction.

"We won!"

"We won!!!"

The warriors on the Lieyang Tribe's side were overjoyed, their eyes welled up with tears, and they couldn't help but cheer, immensely excited!

Two hundred thousand years!

The Lieyang Tribe had been waiting for this day for two hundred thousand years!

They were finally able to reclaim everything their faction had lost back then!

Su Chen's side also revealed smiles, pleasantly surprised.

Luo Yue ascending the throne as the new emperor of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom was definitely a good thing for them.

Buzz—

The defensive array surrounding the imperial palace was lifted, and numerous ministers and powerhouses of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom appeared from all directions, kneeling down towards Luo Yue, respectfully shouting: "Congratulations to the new emperor's ascension to the throne, long live, long live, long live!"

The Old Locust Tree took root in the imperial palace, its verdant branches swaying gently, scattering a hazy glow.

Luo Yue held a five-story bone pagoda floating in her hand, and rich and dazzling dragon energy enveloped her, with the aura of an emperor surrounding her, giving her immense majesty in her every move!

At this moment, she was the new emperor of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom!

Although Luo Yue's expression was calm, her eyes were somewhat dazed, feeling as if all of this was like a dream, with a sense of unreality.

Not long ago, she was just a weak and frail woman from the Lieyang Tribe.

Now, she had not only undergone a transformation, awakening the Nine Heavens Blazing Sun Divine Body, but had also gained the approval of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom's ancestral artifact, becoming the new emperor of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom!

Faced with the crowd of officials, Luo Yue pursed her lips, but felt somewhat lost and helpless, subconsciously looking at the Old Locust Tree.

"Go, child."

Verdant branches drooped down, gently brushing over Luo Yue's head, the Old Locust Tree's voice gentle: "This is the responsibility you should shoulder. Although you are weak in appearance, your heart has always been that of a strong child. Your tribe and I will always stand behind you and support you."

Luo Yue's heart trembled, and a warm current surged within her.

She directly knelt down towards the Old Locust Tree, kowtowing deeply, and then turned around and kowtowed to Su Chen as well.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit, Young Master Su, thank you!"

Luo Yue spoke softly, her heart filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for the help of the Old Locust Tree and Su Chen, she wouldn't have achieved what she had today!

Su Chen accepted Luo Yue's gratitude without reservation, nodding slightly.

After Luo Yue got up, she took a deep breath, her expression serious and solemn, and under the support of the crowd of officials, she walked step by step towards the Golden Luan Hall, ascending to the dragon throne!

Next would be the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, as well as the handover of various court affairs, which would keep Luo Yue busy.

However, the first thing Luo Yue did after ascending the throne was to appoint Su Chen as the honorary供奉(gòng fèng) of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom, enjoying various privileges and resources, without having to fulfill any responsibilities or obligations, and even bestowed various natural treasures as a reward.

To this, the crowd of officials had no objections, after all, they had personally witnessed Su Chen's terrifying strength, and they all recognized that Su Chen deserved the honor of honorary 供奉(gòng fèng).

Su Chen also released the more than seven hundred talented martial artists of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom who had been captured, handing them all over to Luo Yue to deal with.

So many talents were the future hope of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom, and Luo Yue naturally couldn't kill them all.

She tied up all the core talents of the former emperor's faction and exiled them to the imperial mausoleum together, and after giving the remaining talents a good beating, they didn't dare to act rashly and honestly submitted to Luo Yue.

Just as Luo Yue was busy handling various affairs of the Heavenly Fire Ancient Kingdom, the Old Locust Tree found Su Chen and his party.

"Friends, thank you for your help. Before entering the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, I promised you that there would be a generous reward, and now it is time to fulfill that promise."

The Old Locust Tree's branches swayed gently, its voice ancient and calm.

Su Chen's heart stirred, and he felt a little curious and expectant, wondering what the Old Locust Tree's reward would be.
