Humans!
The word exploded in Wu Liang's ears like a sudden clap of thunder, almost freezing his brain instantaneously.
How does the First Emperor know of the existence of humans!?
When he previously exhibited human aura in front of Nightmare No. 2, although it became violently irrational due to the Fierce Ghost's instincts, it had no understanding of what was causing this.
This proved that Nightmare No. 2 was completely unaware of the existence of this species—humans.
After all, this is the Fierce Ghost World; the newborns should be equivalent to Residual Thoughts for them, even the surrounding flora and fauna carry various eerie twists.
In this world, humans simply do not exist!
So now, for the First Emperor to utter this word seems somewhat inexplicable!
How can the First Emperor know of something that doesn't exist at all in this world?
"Ha, the distinguished human guest seems a bit tense? Are you afraid that I will act against you?"
The First Emperor seemed to notice the flicker of confusion in Wu Liang's eyes and couldn't help but smile weakly as he spoke.
Then, he placed the stone tablet on the table before him, slowly stood up, and towered over Wu Liang with the absolute stance of a superior.
Next, with a wave of his hand, the entire great hall began to make a deafening noise, resembling the clamor of thousands of horses and soldiers charging, filling Wu Liang with vigilance.
Unsurprisingly, all the statues of Stone Warriors on the stone pillars emerged, encircling the hall so tightly it was impenetrable.
Especially General Bai Qi, wielding the Bronze Halberd, glanced at Wu Liang with a scornful and arrogant expression before kneeling on one knee to the First Emperor, saying:
"Black Dragon Army assembled! Awaiting your command, Your Majesty!"
Boom—
As soon as the words were spoken, a large number of Stone Warrior soldiers behind them suddenly stomped their weapons on the ground, producing a uniform sound.
They then shouted in unison: "Awaiting your command, Your Majesty! We are ready to face death with no regret!"
However, the First Emperor paid them no heed, merely narrowing his eyes to observe Wu Liang's movements.
About ten seconds later, he raised his brows and asked:
"You, have you seen my Apang Palace and the Great Qin Army? Perhaps... seen me?"
This question instantly made Wu Liang feel even more uncanny.
Despite standing there doing nothing, the First Emperor merely glanced at him and was able to discern these things?
Terrified, Wu Liang hurriedly checked his mental state and soul for any signs of being read, but making this attempt, he was already psychologically prepared.
To bypass Nightmare and the Ghost Compendium's psychic barriers and directly target himself, even the First Emperor shouldn't possess this level of power.
After all, the Law Ability he mastered is Reality, which transcends all laws.
"Your Majesty, what makes you say so?" Wu Liang took a deep breath before returning the query.
Truth be told, he still felt uncertain.
The fact that the First Emperor in the real world is amiable towards him doesn't mean that the Fierce Ghost World's First Emperor would be the same; they are ultimately two distinct individuals.
Upon hearing Wu Liang's counter-question, the First Emperor laughed and said, "Do you think someone entering Apang Palace for the first time, upon seeing such a magnificent building and the gathering of the Black Dragon Army, would remain so calm?"
"Or, upon seeing me, remain so calm?"
After saying this, a formidable pressure surged from the First Emperor, akin to countless mountains descending from above.
Even though Wu Liang had become a Venerable, he instinctively almost knelt on the ground.
Thankfully, he used modify reality at that moment to alter the momentum pressure on his body.
Then, he slowly raised his head, and met the Emperor's eyes, which were as dazzling as daylight.
The man and the ghost stared at each other without uttering a word, or unleashing any abilities.
Between them, only Momentum continued to rise!
From the beginning, General Bai Qi's disdain for Wu Liang gradually turned into astonishment, ultimately transforming into shock beyond belief.
Because the friction and confrontation of the escalating Momentum between Wu Liang and the First Emperor had already reached a point where even Bai Qi struggled to remain standing with his weapon.
This situation was encountered only during disputes with the other four Great Venerables and the First Emperor.
Common Fierce Ghosts, even when simply meeting the First Emperor's gaze, would invariably kneel in submission. Even those of Venerable Level could barely retain their consciousness.
A newly appointed Venerable being able to counter the First Emperor's Momentum was unheard of!
"If we keep staring each other down, General Bai Qi and his troops might not hold out much longer?"
After three minutes of intense Momentum confrontation, Wu Liang finally broke the silence, playfully remarking.
Glancing aside, even General Bai Qi was now drenched in sweat, trembling yet barely able to maintain his stance with the Bronze Halberd, seemingly about to collapse any moment.
Meanwhile, the Stone Warrior soldiers of the Black Dragon Army were mostly lying on the ground, evidently in tremendous agony.
Yet this playful comment dispersed the carefully cultivated Momentum.
An imperceptible trace of surprise flashed in the First Emperor's eyes.
Because he noticed Wu Liang remained unaffected by the still-elevating Momentum, capable even of uttering such humorous words.
He then smiled at Bai Qi and his troops, saying: "You may withdraw now; I wish to have a private conversation with him."
