Now, three demigod Heavenly Kings were in charge. Then it would be impossible to let them continue to be independent. They had to choose between the three demigod Heavenly Kings. These lords were not the only ones facing a choice. The martial artists in their territory were also facing a choice.
Before that, the reason why these martial artists were unwilling to join the camp of the three demigod Heavenly Kings was because on one hand, they did not want to lose their freedom and be restrained by too many rules.
On the other hand, they were worried that the Great Wu Empire would revive one day. When that happened, those who joined the camp of the three demigod heavenly kings would definitely be punished along with them.
Now that the Great Wu Empire was destroyed, they no longer had such worries. Many people had the thought of joining the camp of the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
With the destruction of the Great Wu Empire, the Tianwu Continent would definitely be the world of the three demigod Heavenly Kings. Even if they did not join now, it would be difficult for them to stay out of it when the last three demigod Heavenly Kings established a new dynasty.
The difference between joining now and joining later was that if they joined now, they could choose the demigod Heavenly King they liked. If they joined later, they could only follow their territory and join one of the demigod Heavenly Kings. They did not have the right to choose.
This caused everyone in the Tianwu Continent to be discussing a problem. And that was, who was stronger among the three demigod Heavenly Kings? This question was not only what these martial artists wanted to know.
The various lords also wanted to know. All along, they only knew that the three demigod Heavenly Kings were the strongest experts on the Tianwu Continent. However, no one knew who was stronger among the three.
Even if it was the various lords, they had never seen a demigod take action either. Usually, those who had seen them attack were already corpses. This left everyone conflicted as to which demigod Heavenly King they should join.
Many people chose to look for people from the Heavenly Mystery Palace, planning to buy information about the three demigod Heavenly Kings from the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Back then, after Xiao Shi completed the opening of the second area of the Heavenly Mystery Palace,
The entire Heavenly Mystery Palace was already active in the Tianwu Continent. Although there were still many people who had thoughts about the Heavenly Mystery Palace, the Palace Master was truly too mysterious. Even the Life Testing Hall could not deduce the identity and location of the Palace Master.
Even if these people had designs on the Heavenly Mystery Palace, they could not find any chance to attack. The Heavenly Mystery Palace was destined to rise again in the Tianwu Continent under the lead of this mysterious palace master.
Fifth domain.
“The prince is still alive?” Xiao Shi frowned.
Previously, although he could not kill the prince, when he killed Cheng Riyou through the self-destruction of his clone, it was equivalent to blocking the possibility of the prince escaping. After all, after he dug out the left eye that sealed the fate of the Great Wu Empire, he did not have any ability to escape.
If he wanted to escape before the three demigod Heavenly Kings arrived, he could only rely on the three royal guards. However, the three royal guards had poured all the power they had recovered into Cheng Riyou’s body.
In such a short period of time, it was also impossible for them to have the ability to escape with the prince. But through the investigation of the Heavenly Mystery Eye, he discovered that the prince was actually still alive!
This surprised him.
“If he’s still alive, there are only two possibilities. The first is that he is now under the control of three demigod Heavenly Kings. The three demigod Heavenly Kings didn’t kill him. The other is that he used some unknown method to escape before the three demigod Heavenly Kings descended into the Imperial Domain.”
Xiao Shi was currently more inclined to the first possibility. After ail, the prince at that time had already reached a dead end. If he still had an escape method, he would definitely have used it before the three demigod Heavenly Kings entered the Imperial Domain. He wouldn’t have waited until the last moment to use it.
Moreover, in the previous situation, even if he had any means of escape, it was too late. After all, the three demigod Heavenly Kings had already entered the Imperial Domain when Xiao Shi killed Cheng Riyou. It was impossible for them to watch the prince escape and not care.
However, if the prince was to fall into the hands of the three demigod Heavenly Kings, why didn’t they kill the prince and leave him alive instead? Now that the Great Wu Empire was gone, the prince no longer had any value.
Xiao Shi felt that if he were the three demigod Heavenly Kings, he would definitely kill him directly. It was impossible for him to keep him alive. Unless the prince had some value that he did not know about.
However, even if the prince had value, it would still involve a distribution problem with the three demigod Heavenly Kings. Before the Great Wu Empire was destroyed, the three demigod Heavenly Kings could barely be considered on the same side.
However, as the Great Wu Empire was destroyed, they were already competitors and enemies. There was only one prince. They would definitely not give in to each other. It was impossible for them to hand the Imperial Prince over to one of them.
“Unfortunately… although the Heavenly Mystery Eye can understand everything in the world, once it involves an advanced existence, I have to have enough cultivation to completely understand it.” Xiao Shi sighed at this..
