Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Complete Earthly Sovereign?" Luo Tianshen and Xue Lingzi shouted at the same time. The people gasped when they heard it and immediately turned to look at the spot beside Mu Chen.
The space was still surging as a petite figure appeared beside him. When they saw the figure, they were stunned.
"This little girl is a Complete Earthly Sovereign!" someone screamed.
"You are so silly. How can a little girl have such a great power?" someone else asked. Some rational people were deceived by Mandela's outward appearance.
"Where did Mu Chen come from? How is he able to rope in a Complete Earthly Sovereign?" someone exclaimed.
In the Western Kingdom Continent, a Complete Earthly Sovereign enjoyed a high status. Hence, one had to have strong connections and pay a high price in order to get a Complete Earthly Sovereign to join them.
Even such a top force as the Blood God Clan had to pay a high price to invite Lin Dong Elder over. No one, including Xue Lingzi and Luo Tianshen, had expected Mu Chen to enjoy the protection of a Complete Earthly Sovereign.
When Xue Lingzi looked at the dainty girl beside Mu Chen, he felt dizzy. He had not expected Mu Chen to counter the most powerful trump card that he had prepared for destroying the Luo God Clan.
What is Mu Chen's background? This question kept ringing in Xue Lingzi's mind. After all, not everyone could get the help of a Complete Earthly Sovereign. He finally realized what Elder Dong meant. He was unable to kill Mu Chen because he had the protection of a Complete Earthly Sovereign.
Xue Lingzi trembled as he looked at Lin Dong Elder. They had paid a high price for inviting Elder Dong over, and if he retreated without doing anything, they would suffer heavy losses.
As Xue Lingzi looked at him with beseeching eyes, Lin Dong Elder simply glanced at him.
He then turned to look at Mandela and said, "You do not belong to the Western Kingdom Continent. We are currently having an internal feud, so it is not appropriate for you to get involved. It is against the rules set by the Western Kingdom War Temple."
Lin Dong Elder emphasized the words "Western Kingdom War Temple," as he wanted Mandela to know where she stood. The Western Kingdom War Temple dominated the Western Kingdom Continent, and even though Mandela was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, she had to constrain herself. After all, the West Heaven War Emperor was the ruler of the Western Kingdom War Temple and he was a renowned Heavenly Sovereign in The Great Thousand World!
Mandela knew what he meant, but she simply curled up her lips and said, "Mu Chen is the son-in-law of the Luo God Clan, so naturally, he can fight for them. At the same time, he is the Master of Mu Estate. As a member of the Mu Estate, how can we let you deal with our Estate Master?"
After Mandela made such a statement, there was an uproar. Even Lin Dong Elder was amazed and looked at Mu Chen. Mandela had commented that she was a member of the Mu Estate, which meant that Mu Chen was her master!
The people found this hard to accept. They knew that the only way one could have a Complete Earthly Sovereign as their subordinate was to be a Heavenly Sovereign!
As Mandela mentioned that she was a subject of Mu Chen's, the people found it ridiculous and very hard to believe. However, a Complete Earthly Sovereign would not make such a careless statement to disgrace herself unnecessarily, so no one felt that Mandela was telling anything but the truth.
Xue Lingzi looked on in disbelief. Even with their strong base, the Blood God Clan could not recruit a Complete Earthly Sovereign, yet Mu Chen was able to do so!
"How can this brat be so lucky?" Xue Lingzi was envious of Mu Chen. If they had a Complete Earthly Sovereign in the Blood God Clan, they would have unified Little Western Kingdom!
As the people looked on in amazement, Mu Chen simply shrugged. He had the urge to tell them that Mandela had forced him to take up the position since she was not interested in it. However, since Mandela had given him such an honor and he didn't want to seem ungrateful, he simply smiled.
Lin Dong Elder looked thoughtfully at Mu Chen. If this is true, there must be an extraordinary power behind this youth.
As he was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, he knew how prideful a Complete Earthly Sovereign was. Mandela would not have willingly submitted herself to Mu Chen if he did not have a strong backing.
"Today, we are sticking our nose into the business of the Luo God Clan. If you are helping the Blood God Clan, I will be here waiting for you," Mandela said lazily. She could not be bothered with what the rest of the people were thinking.
When Lin Dong Elder heard this, he smiled and said, "The remuneration that I have received from the Blood God Clan is not enough for me to deal with a Complete Earthly Sovereign."
When Xue Lingzi heard what Ling Dong Elder had said, he turned pale. Luo Tianshen and the rest heaved sighs of relief.
Although Mu Chen had a Complete Earthly Sovereign on his team, they would not want them to get into a fight. After all, Lin Dong Elder was an elder of the Western Kingdom War Temple, and no one in the Western Kingdom Continent had the audacity to behave disrespectfully to the elders of the Western Kingdom War Temple.
Mu Chen looked doubtfully at Lin Dong Elder, as he did not believe that he would let the matter rest…
"Hohoho, I have accepted Xue Lingzi's invitation because I was already on my way here." Lin Dong Elder suddenly smiled unnaturally.
When Xue Lingzi heard this, he was angry. They had paid a high price to hire Lin Dong Elder, which he had accepted, yet now they learned that he was already on his way here!
Mu Chen squinted his eyes to look at Lin Dong Elder and asked, "May I know why you came here?"
However, Lin Dong Elder did not reply to him. He simply smiled and looked at Luo Li, who was going through the Spiritual Calamity, and said, "It has something to do with her. It is better to wait for her before we discuss this further."
When Mu Chen saw his expression, he felt uneasy. As he was about to speak, Mandela shook her head and stopped him. He then turned to look at Luo Li.
Boom! Boom!
Luo Li continued to sit cross-legged on the White Jade Stage. She exuded a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation that had far surpassed a Complete Grade Nine Sovereign.
Spiritual Fog gathered in the sky and lightning continued to strike toward Luo Li. Whenever the ferocious lightning bolts went near Luo Li, the Luo River would whiz up into a large water shield to fend them off. Apparently, the Luo River was protecting Luo Li.
The Spiritual Calamity gradually used up its spiritual energy and turned into a spiritual light. It then dissipated in the sky. When the Spiritual Calamity dissipated, a powerful spiritual energy burst out from Luo Li's body, hurling up a tidal wave in the Luo River.
Many people looked enviously at Luo Li, as they knew that she had stepped into the Earthly Sovereign-level! Luo Li suddenly opened her eyes, while stars seemed to gather within them. She formed a seal with her hands, and the water in the Luo River whizzed up, then gathered behind her.
The people saw a large streamy figure appearing behind Luo Li. The figure exuded a divine light and, as it slowly transformed itself, it resembled Luo Li!
A Galaxy Rune appeared on its glabella, like a mysterious river. When the mysterious Galaxy Rune took shape, the people saw that the figure had turned into an indescribable beauty that no one in the world could compare with.
The Galaxy Rune appeared on Luo Li's glabella as well. As a strange light burst out, Luo Li, who was already a great beauty, seemed to have transformed and become even more captivating. In fact, she was now the most beautiful lady in the entire universe!
"She is the most beautiful lady in The Great Thousand World!" someone exclaimed, while all of the people admired her beauty.
Luo Tianshen and some of the top powers from the Luo God Clan looked at the slender figure and the mysterious Galaxy Rune and shouted in disbelief, "Tha is the Luo God Celestial Body!"
As stated in official genealogy records, the Luo God Celestial Body was the most beautiful Celestial Body. Once a person had cultivated it successfully, it would complement its master.
Back then, Luo God had become The Great Beauty in The Great Thousand World because of it. They had not expected that Luo Li would be the second person to cultivate it after so many years.
"The prerequisites for cultivating the Luo God Celestial Body are very stringent. The practitioner has to be beautiful and must also possess great talent. I think Luo Li is the only one who could meet such stringent requirements so far." Luo Tianshen was elated when he came back to himself. Since Luo Li had obtained the Luo God Inheritance, she might be able to help the Luo God Clan regain their glory!
The figure behind Luo Li gradually dissipated, then Luo Li lifted up her head and smiled at Mu Chen. She looked so beautiful, compared to her, everything else looked ordinary.
The people looked enviously at Mu Chen. If he had not displayed such great strength earlier, he would have been challenged.
When Mu Chen noticed their hostile looks, his mouth twitched. He finally believed that there was a certain type of woman who would attract trouble.
As Mu Chen and Luo Li looked at each other, Lin Dong Elder smiled and said, "Luo God's successor is indeed amazing. Finally, someone has assumed the title of The Great Beauty in The Great Thousand World."
Luo Li turned to look at Lin Dong Elder and bowed. She looked elegant and calm despite Lin Dong's status. She then asked, "May I know what is elder's purpose for coming here?"
Lin Dong Elder opened a scroll and his hoarse voice resounded in the area. "By decree of the War Emperor, the Queen of the Luo God Clan shall be conferred as the Holy Maiden of the Western Kingdom War Temple."
When Luo Tianshen heard what Lin Dong Elder had said, his expression changed drastically.

Chapter 1222: The Holy Maid
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Lin Dong Elder's hoarse voice resounded in the area, the place went into an uproar. Many people turned to look at Luo Li.
No one had expected the War Emperor of the Western Kingdom War Temple to issue a decree conferring the honor of Holy Maid upon Luo Li. This was a special position in the Western Kingdom War Temple, second only to the War Emperor. Even the elders of the Western Kingdom War Temple had to show due respect to her.
As the people looked at Luo Li with envy, Luo Tianshen turned pale. The War Emperor had 3,000 concubines, and all of them were beautiful. He had cultivated the Emperor's Esoteric Scripture, which was cultivation through sex. Apparently, the War Emperor was a lecher.
Previously, Luo Tianshen had heard that the Western Kingdom War Temple was interested in Luo Li, but she was not so well-known back then. As she became more outstanding and beautiful, the Western Kingdom War Temple must have heard of it.
Now that Luo Li had cultivated the Luo God Celestial Body, she would be in the limelight. Luo Tianshen had expected them to take note of her, but he had not expected it to happen so soon.
Many beautiful ladies in the Western Kingdom Continent and Western Kingdom War Temple had wished to gain the War Emperor's favor and to progress from there. After all, many ladies had been attracted to him due to his strength and elegant demeanor. The 3,000 concubines had willingly submitted themselves to the War Emperor, as they had been captivated by him. However, Luo Tianshen knew that his granddaughter was not one of them…
Given her pride, unless she liked the person, she would not care, even if it was the War Emperor.
The position of Holy Maid is much sought after by a lot of people. However, Luo Li will not accept it... but how can she reject the War Emperor's decree? He is the Dominator of the Western Kingdom Continent! He is the renowned Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World!
When Mu Chen saw Luo Tianshen smiling bitterly, he started to frown. Although he knew nothing about the West Heaven War Emperor, he could roughly figure it out from Luo Tianshen's expression.
"Hohoho, congratulations, Holy Maid. From now on, you shall be the Holy Maid of the Western Kingdom War Temple." Lin Dong Elder smiled. He showed Luo Li the golden scroll in his hand and said, "Do come and receive the decree."
However, Luo Li did not respond to him. She lifted up her head and looked calmly at Lin Dong Elder for a long while before saying, "I am not accepting it."
The entire area went into dead silence after Luo Li had spoken. The people widened their eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
She has rejected the War Emperor's decree!
This is the decree of a Heavenly Sovereign!
Xue Lingzi, who had been scared out of his wits earlier, was elated when he heard Luo Li's reply. He had never expected Luo Li to be so audacious!
When Lin Dong Elder heard it, he was stunned as well. He then frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is the War Emperor's decree. Do you know the consequences of rejecting it?"
Although Luo Li felt burdened by what he said, she stayed true to her decision. As Luo Li was feeling the burden, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. He stretched out his hand and held Luo Li's cold hand tightly.
It was Mu Chen. When they looked at each other, they smiled.
Wow.
Their behavior brought about an uproar in the area. The people then realized that they were a couple. Luo Li had rejected the position of Holy Maid because of Mu Chen.
Mu Chen held Luo Li's hand and lifted up his head. He looked expressionlessly at Lin Dong Elder and asked, "When did the Western Kingdom War Temple start forcing others to become Holy Maid?"
"Young chap, watch your tongue!" Lin Dong Elder said. A horrifying spiritual energy oppression burst out from his body, and the area turned into winter. A horrifying cold wave then swirled toward Mu Chen.
As the cold wave moved towards Mu Chen, Mandela suddenly appeared before him. A dark light exuded from her body like a black hole and swallowed up the cold wave. She looked flatly at Lin Dong Elder and said mockingly, "Can't he talk? Is the Western Kingdom War Temple so unreasonable!?"
Mandela was curt. Although the West Heaven War Emperor was a Heavenly Sovereign, she was not afraid of him. After all, she had been with the Heavenly Emperor for years and had seen many Heavenly Sovereigns.
When Lin Dong Elder heard it, he turned gloomy. He stared at Mandela and asked, "Are you out to set yourself against the Western Kingdom War Temple?"
"Is there a problem?" Mandela sneered and was unafraid.
"Presumptuous!" Lin Dong Elder shouted. He was enraged. He waved his sleeve and an Ice Crystal Star shot out. The temperature in the area immediately dropped and the space started to freeze.
Buzz!
The Ice Crystal Star turned into a cold wave and shot out fiercely. It expanded and turned into a vast Glacier Star falling mercilessly toward Mandela. The force was so great that it could destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Ha!" Mandela snorted when she saw it. A streamer shot out of her mouth, and myriad rays of light burst out to form a pyramid. The object was the Starry Suppression Tower that Mu Chen had given her previously.
Swoosh!
Starlight whizzed out from the Starry Suppression Tower and blasted onto the Ice Crystal Star. The Ice Crystal Star exploded and turned into ice crystals that fell to the ground.
When the Ice Crystal Star exploded, Lin Dong Elder snorted. He moved back several steps and looked pale. He had lost the first round.
"Great. Great!" Lin Dong Elder looked furious. He took a deep breath and held the golden scroll respectfully. After he bit his tongue, he spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the scroll.
Buzz. Buzz.
When the blood essence fell onto the scroll, golden light suddenly burst out and exuded a horrifying aura. It was as though the Dominator was present. Those who were below Earthly Sovereign-level fell on their faces and could not lift their heads. They were trembling under the horrifying aura. They knew what the aura represented…
In the entire Western Kingdom Continent, only one person possessed this power. The person was the legendary West Heaven War Emperor!
Mandela turned grave, as she knew that the scroll should summon the Shadowspirit. Although it was just a Shadowspirit, she already felt the oppression.
Mu Chen felt Luo Li tighten her grip.
"Don't be afraid," Mu Chen said softly.
Luo Li tilted her head and was shocked to see that Mu Chen was not flustered, although he looked grave. She then smiled wryly and said, "Leave if there is a chance."
"What about you?"
Luo Li smiled and said, "Whatever happens, I will not be the Holy Maid."
Mu Chen looked at her smile and saw the determined look in her eyes. Given her pride, she would rather die than become the Holy Maid.
"Luo Li…" Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and said softly, "Do you remember what I told you before? I said next time, I would never allow anyone to take you away from me." He looked into her eyes and said, "This includes the West Heaven War Emperor." Although the West Heaven War Emperor was powerful, Mu Chen still had some means to contend with him.
Luo Li was stunned. Although she did not know why Mu Chen was so confident, she knew that he would not do anything rashly. Since he had said it, he must be capable of doing something.
Luo Li then started to relax a little.
"You must have gone through a lot during the past few years," Luo Li said with a smile. Her smile was so charming that Mu Chen had the sudden urge to hold her in his arms. However, he suppressed his feelings and lifted up his head to look at the golden scroll. Golden light emanated from it, and a golden figure gradually appeared.
"Welcome, Emperor!" Lin Dong Elder said respectfully as he looked at the golden figure and knelt down.
A golden figure stood in the sky with one hand behind his back. He had bright golden hair and was good-looking. His dark eyes were charming and unforgettable. The most captivating part about him was the majestic aura that he exuded. Everyone shivered at this aura.
When the golden figure appeared, he looked at Luo Li and asked in a loud, clear voice, "Luo Li, are you sure you want to reject it?"
