Celestial Court, outside the Douluo Palace.

Yibai looked at the Imperial Decree in his hand with mixed emotions. He had spoken with the Heavenly Emperor for a long time, and he could tell that the Heavenly Emperor hoped he would let go of the past, not consider a fight to the death out of gratitude, but to live for himself.

After much persuasion, he had indeed agreed.

What really made him feel complex was this Imperial Decree.

He had opened and read it.

The decree, written by the Heavenly Emperor himself, stated that the title of the Heavenly Emperor was to be passed on to him. He was the successor of the Heavenly Emperor, and any who claimed the title without being him, were rebels. Everyone in the Three Realms could take up arms against such usurpers, and it called upon the gods to guard and obey his commands.
