After Taizong's departure, the king remained swayed in his thoughts, after which he was to leave for his palace.

“uh-hu-hu” when suddenly, a mysterious voice was heard laughing

“Ordering all your guards to retreat, aren’t you afraid of being assassinated with nobody present it’ll be more fun to spread random news hu-hu-hu” said the mysterious voice

“There is nothing in existence that might frighten me, be it below heaven or far above heaven if not a wang-gug” replied the king “As a wang-gug might be hiding and I’ll never find out”

“So boastful and untutored as ever”

“Who is capable enough to tutor a rex regum if I may ask”

“Tssk, fine fine time shall tell us and judge us fairly”

“Nothing is qualified to judge me, the river of time just happens to be one of the multiple frameworks under my command and authority, so how can it judge me? Hahaha” finished the king laughing loudly

“hahahahaha” Joined the mysterious voice “indeed or else I’ll never choose you but I came to usher a warning, be careful…” said the voice while fading away

King Tian Yuan left the place and returned to his palace.

what happens in Tianguo kingdom we shall find out later.

03 months later

Further away in the chromasomus, in another universe is the pangu kingdom where another king reigns, for king reigns on multiple civilizations across different universes. We shall see Gu chen fan, king of pangu kingdom but not a rex regum as there can only exist one of the kind across all of existence.

At the entrance of a space transmission portal linking Pangu and Tianguo kingdoms, were soldiers lined up from the portal to the royal seat. The royal seat was ten meters away from the portal and king Gu seated on it. The portal emitted a translucent so as to announce the arrival of someone from the other side. Then came out of the portal Tian Jianping; emissary from Tianguo kingdom with a scroll carrying Tianguo’s royal seal in his hands. The emissary moved boastfully which despised the assistance.

*Tssk. A mere emissary dares act so boastfully in my stead, the worst about it is that I can’t act anyhow as it might create unwanted conflicts.* Thought king Gu *But it’s just too outrageous*

Tian Jianping moved forward until a meter away from the throne where he stopped to greet king Gu; his greeting was not one worthy to be addressed before a king. King Gu could not help but frown but just sighed.

“Consider your manners, for you stand before his majesty king Gu Chen fan, king and sovereign of the Pangu kingdom,” said Hua ming standing fixed.

Hua Ming is in fact the warden of Pangu kingdom so he couldn't bear it anymore.

“I come as my king’s representative” replied Tian Jianping with a glare at Hua ming.

“What is the meaning of th…” Hua Ming was suddenly cut by king Gu as he raised his right hand signaling him to stop.

“Let him read the content of the decree, we don’t need to enter useless conflicts” said king Gu

“It’s a good thing, the honorable king Gu knows what is important” said Tian Jianping while smiling jokingly.

*It’s becoming unbearable, but we are in a pretty bad state so I need to restrain myself*

“Go on” ordered the king

Tian Jianping removed the seal and opened the scroll, everyone stood in reverence except king GU who just fixed up his seating position; for the rex regum seal is of high stature.

Tian Jianping proceeded and read its content. It goes thus

“Greetings to king Gu of Pangu kingdom

Greeting to all, populations of Pangu kingdom

In nine months time I, king Tian yuan of Tianguo kingdom shall come.

You have been chosen to receive the blessing of rex regum, you all know the importance of this

I hope we’ll be able to cooperate and you’ll benefit a lot from it.

Signed king Tian Yuan

This is the content of the decree which accepts no opposition, so prepare for the coming of his majesty and rex regum. “

Tian Jianping finished and headed to the portal, all could just groan inwardly as murderous auras could be felt everywhere; when suddenly king Gu stood and shouted

“Wait” ordered king Gu “Tell your king that we are not a vassal state where he might treat as nothing more than mere ants”

“That’s what you are” said Tian Jianping laughingly while crossing the portal

The portal light dimmed. King Gu smashed the portal in anger but knew this was just the exhibition of a long taught plan since the decline of their kingdom.

“Let them wait and see, do they think I’ll sit quiet over this, simply delusional” said king Gu, then he added while facing the crowd “We shall all fight for our kingdom iiiiiiii-yeeeeeh”

“i-yeh” shouted everyone.

“retreat” with this command everyone left except the king’s personal guard who escorted him to the palace.

*Nobody might know as I've always kept it a secret, it might be high time the world knows I am a wang-gug* thought king Gu smiling *Though it’s not sufficient, so it won't be an easy fight tssk*
