Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

A woman, sitting on a mat inside her chamber, was mumbling something as though she was trying to recite some mantra. However, while she was doing so, the rules of darkness were swirling around her. It was as if they met their sole best friend. Despite that, Lin Diyu's comprehension seemed to be even more adept and deeper than hers.

"It's time for the Carnage Firmament to open," she muttered under her breath, her eyes showing melancholy. "I wonder if I can still save him."

After uttering such words, she vanished from the mat and appeared elsewhere—in a space where she constructed it herself. "It seems like it will still take time. Big brother, once the Carnage Bloom appears, whoever from the Saint Princes will get ahold of the Carnage Lotus, I will give them the title of the Fiend Emperor.

"I hope you don't blame me for this. Originally, I didn't want to do this, but since you fell into a coma for who knows why, I know that the only thing that can wake you up is the Carnage Lotus. To anyone, it is poison. To you, however, it is a supplement that can give you life. Just what did you do to reach this state?"

It turned out that this sleeping man inside a coffin was the brother of the woman whose strength was evidently unfathomable. Fu Yishi would pale in comparison. Her strength was not anything below Long Hao or the Dragon Ancestor himself. Moreover, she looked very young for her age. She did not have any sign of withering due to old age.

"Your Highness, Fiend Emperor, there's news about the Carnage Firmament opening!" a thought transmission appeared in her mind as she disappeared once more in front of the coffin.

She was actually the Stellar Fiend Emperor! The Stellar Fiend Emperor!

Who would've thought that the Stellar Fiend Emperor would be a woman? Even other people did not know. Only those belonging to the upper echelons of their Stellar Fiend Palace knew that their Stellar Fiend Emperor was a woman!

Appearing inside her chamber, there were already three people waiting outside. "Enter."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When these three people entered, they were a bit crude in terms of appearance. However, this did not define the strength they possessed at all. They were all called the Fiend Ministers, only below the Stellar Fiend Emperor herself. However, these three people were still prostrating in front of Her Highness, the woman who was stronger than them by not just a notch.

"What is your news regarding the Carnage Firmament? It should be opening soon, right?" the woman asked, her voice not laced with any agitation but only calmness. However, beneath this visage, her heart was filled with turbulence.

She could really only pin her hopes on the Saint Princes to get ahold of the Carnage Lotus which would greatly aid her big brother to awaken much faster or awaken from eternal slumber.

It had already been years and she even coursed through difficulties inside the Stellar Fiend Palace, from being a forsaken Saint Princess to becoming the Stellar Fiend Emperor herself. In fact, she should be called the Stellar Fiend Empress. But she did not want that as that would make her someone that other palaces would target. Women were bound to be soft persimmons and for as long as possible, she did not want to be targeted. Compared to the other Saint Emperors, she was just a child to them.

Despite being confident of her strength, she would not needlessly sacrifice herself. After all, she still needed to save her brother. In the past, it was her brother that she looked up to the most.

Her brother was just like Long Guang, hailed as the Saint Son for his talent, the sole Fiend Prince of the Stellar Fiend Palace. However, due to some uncertain and unknown causes, her brother had fallen into a slumber that could be eternal–she was not sure herself.

Therefore, she could only pin her hopes on the Carnage Lotus. Of course, she still needed the help of the Saint Princes and would officially commence the Fiend Prince Ceremony.

"Big brother, you know that I've long admired you for so long now. I can't let you fall into this kind of state," she thought, clenching her hands.

She then focused her attention on the news delivered to her by her three Fiend Ministers. "What is it? Why are you hesitating? Did something happen to the Carnage Firmament?"

She rather looked calm, but she was already in a state of panic inside.

One of the Fiend Ministers sighed lightly and told her about the news regarding the Carnage Firmament.

"Fiend Emperor, Your Highness, it's not that the Carnage Firmament is not opening. I know that you want to revive your big brother, His Highness, but it's just that the other palaces are making a fuss over this. Moreover, the Dragon Emperor Palace was making it hard for us. They're not even giving us face! What shall we do, Your Highness?" her most-trusted Fiend Minister said, truly helpless with the situation.

However, what came next shocked the three Fiend Ministers.

"Can't you just kill them?" the woman replied nonchalantly.

However, with this nonchalance, they knew very well that she was now extremely angry about this matter. The three of them immediately kowtowed and said, "Please spare us, Your Highness! We are truly helpless with the other palace's interference!"

"Hmph! If you're so helpless against them, then who are they to make you feel like this? You're all Fiend Ministers for who knows' sake! Your status is just beneath one and above all!" she answered with a stern voice.

"Alright, Fiend Emperor, you don't need to scare these three little fellows that much," a hoarse voice suddenly diverted their attention. "The Dragon Ancestor is also here. That old man is kicking up too much fuss for something. I don't know why, but he seems to be too angry at our palace."

The Fiend Emperor suddenly felt cold sweat dripping on her back. The Fiend Ancestor actually came out from his base and made an appearance. When he appeared, his figure was so disheveled that others would think he was bullied by someone—despite having no injuries on his body.

Moreover, the woman clearly knew the might of every palace's ancestor! To be able to make the Fiend Ancestor appear after several thousands of years, the one who arrived, the Dragon Ancestor, should be as strong as him. If that Dragon Ancestor had measly strength, then she would have already been enough to deal with this dragon. However, the Fiend Ancestor actually showed up.

What did this mean?

That Dragon Ancestor must be extremely strong.

"Xie Dou, you're extremely shameless! You actually dared to do that to my son! How dare you?! Do you think the Dragon Emperor Palace is afraid of retaliating against your palace? This measly Stellar Fiend Palace actually tried to provoke this old dragon!" a voice thundered throughout the entire palace, making everyone shudder in fright. Some even vomited a mouthful of blood due to the impact of that voice. "You're still wet behind your ears and was not even the number of your era! When you rose to fame back then, you are just a junior of this dragon. You actually went and provoked me, this old dragon!"

Xie Dou's face changed and hurriedly enveloped the Fiend Emperor Chamber with his rules of darkness. His face then turned solemn as he looked at the menacing and dominating aura of the old dragon. "Senior Long, what are you doing? Why are you making such a big fuss? Didn't we already have an agreement not to disturb each other's property?"

"Xie Dou, I am the Dragon Ancestor, like you, the Fiend Ancestor, I do not make a move unless there's something very grave happened or unless I'm an idiot. How stupid can you be?" the Dragon Ancestor's voice reverberated again.

"This old man actually berated His Highness, the Fiend Ancestor—"

"Hey, do you hear what His Highness, the Fiend Ancestor, said? He said, Senior Long! Could it be that Dragon Ancestor who had once conquered everyone in the tournament back then?"

"H-How is that possible?!"

"No, we must leave right away! Otherwise, we might get affected by the upcoming battle. Based on the Dragon Ancestor's momentum, it seems like he was determined to destroy relations and go all out in a war with the Stellar Fiend Palace!"

Everyone within the palace was panicking. Even the Saint Princes from their sub-palaces were in a state of panic. There was actually someone who dared to barge into their palace! Moreover, this person was not just something—he was the Dragon Ancestor—a figure that left several impressions on people in the past.

The strongest in his generation!

Apart from the Time Temple's geniuses back then as well as the Space Temple's, pretty much everyone he fought was defeated by him in a tournament.

And everyone could not forget about that one name that shook everyone's hearts to the core. It was this existence that truly dominated an era. Even the present Dragon Emperor could not compare to him in terms of strength.

This old thing actually came out of his seclusion just to settle scores with their palace for some misgivings that they know nothing about. Provoking this old thing was equivalent to giving their lives for free.

They could only hope that their Fiend Emperor could have a leeway on this matter!

This was the Dragon Ancestor they were talking about!

A hegemon and the strongest who held the most power in the Dragon Emperor Palace!

Long Sheng!
