Fan Xian slumped into his chair, his mind a jumbled mess. He recalled the slight unease he felt before entering the capital, and suddenly felt a pang of unease...
The emperor who holds real power in Nanqing and whose word is law is his father. So what has he been so careful about all this time?

Chapter 334 Condensing the Stars of the Godslayer Plot (Fourth Update)
However, Fan Xian's vigilance immediately returned.
No... It's precisely because his father is the emperor that the situation suddenly becomes so complicated...
The most ruthless are those in the imperial family.
Considering the unusual situation on Fan Jian's side, and Wu Zhu's repeated reminders... it's terrifying to think about.
"An emperor and a prince?" Madara Uchiha gazed at the two thoughtfully.
“No, it should be the emperor and his illegitimate son.” Ying Zheng’s words were completely calm as his gaze swept over Fan Xian and Emperor Qing. “I feel that their situation might be very complicated.”
“Whenever imperial power is involved, nothing is simple.” Tony Stark rolled his eyes.
“Interesting, very interesting. An unseen god, is this the real god?” Luo Cuilian suddenly spoke up.
She had clearly recovered. Her hands were now gripping the handrail tightly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge it.
Luo Cuilian's expression was enigmatic as she spoke in a low voice, "If you are the true god... then what are those disobedient gods... laughable false gods, imposters?"
Luo Cuilian did not question what Weber said.
She was too arrogant, which is why she believed that someone who could so easily crush her wouldn't go to the trouble of weaving lies. Therefore, this council must be real.
Not to mention, Luo Cuilian had also seen the scene of the stars of destiny gathering.
It directly pulls out the historical trajectory of a world and extracts images of the past and future. What unimaginable power this is, it is simply indescribable.
As a god-slayer, Luo Cuilian naturally had a broad perspective. But it was precisely because she stood at such a high vantage point that she understood how incredible this was.
“Um, please forgive my bluntness,” Kaguya Houraisan’s eyes flickered for a moment before she suddenly spoke, “May I ask, does Kaguya also exist in the world you belong to?”
“It does exist, although I have never seen it,” Luo Cuilian said frankly.
She recalled Waver's earlier words and was basically certain that the woman shrouded in mist was not a disobedient god from their world, but rather Princess Kaguya from another world... Presumably, killing her would not grant her divine authority.
"Wait a minute," Kaguya Houraisan finally realized something was wrong, her face filled with doubt and confusion, "If we've never met before, why did you immediately start shouting for battle the moment we met?"
"Because I am the King of Martial Arts in Jiangnan! The Godslayer!" Luo Cuilian's voice was calm. Having confirmed the abnormality of this council, she did not maintain her aloof attitude as the King of Martial Arts in Jiangnan. Although she was arrogant, she was not stupid and knew the importance of assessing the situation.
"As a god-slayer, I am an irreconcilable enemy of the gods!"
Kaguya Houraisan's lips twitched; she finally understood where the problem lay.
"...The one who killed a god?" The Ancient One gave Luo Cuilian a deep look. She didn't seem like a simple person. But what level were the gods of that world at?
The Ancient One was well aware that the gods of different worlds have completely different strengths.
"The King of Martial Arts in Jiangnan, the Godslayer." Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled. "That sounds really cool."
Because of Uncle Long, Jade has a strong yearning for kung fu.
Of course, she has now learned martial arts, and her strength has reached the level of a Battle Master. Uncle Long is no match for her... However, she still has a special affection for kung fu.
This newcomer dares to call himself the King of Martial Arts and the Godslayer, so there is no doubt that he is on the path of a martial artist... and a martial artist who is stronger than anyone could imagine.
“I’ll trade my abilities for the future.” After a moment’s thought, Luo Cuilian nodded and said cautiously, “That’s reasonable.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Cuilian's mind raced, and cards flew out from her body. These included magical arts, various martial arts techniques, the Divine Footwork Technique, the Twelve Flying Phoenix Palms… and numerous divine powers emanating from her.
Mighty Vajra Divine Skill, Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl Technique, A Dream of Yellow Millet, Fragrant Herbs and Dazzling Flowers, Heaven is Dead, Treasure Shipyard...
After thinking for a moment, Luo Cuilian picked out cards symbolizing divine authority, along with cards featuring Divine Footwork and the Twelve Flying Phoenix Palms, totaling nearly ten cards... Then, she handed them to Su Han.
"The title of Speaker of the Council, these are the divine authority I possess, as well as some martial arts skills... which are also the items I am using to exchange for the future."
Conan's expression changed, and he whispered, "Divine authority?"
As the name suggests, divine authority should be the power of the gods... but why are there so many?
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered, and he gave Luo Cuilian a deep look before suddenly realizing something.
In truth, Ying Zheng felt that offering just one Divine Authority Card would have been enough for the exchange... So, the reason why this goddess-slayer handed over so many is quite obvious...
It probably also contains a part of the meaning of making amends or offering apologies.
Of course, although Ying Zheng and Luo Cuilian had only met briefly and had no direct contact, his ability to judge people allowed him to determine that Luo Cuilian was a proud and arrogant person.
For someone like that, offering an apology was already the limit; a public apology was impossible... so she only did this much and said nothing more.
Cards swirled around Su Han before being swallowed by the mist.
Su Han gazed calmly at Luo Cuilian and said softly, "Then, Luo Hao... your future begins."
As the last word fell, a vast wave surged through the void.
The river of fate reappears, but this time it is not the political intrigue of "Joy of Life" that appears before... but the scene of rebellious gods ravaging the land and being slain by the demon king who reigns over the land...
