Starting With 100 Million Lives

Jiang Cheng's position as the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department was officially confirmed, and no one stopped him from entering anymore.

"Elder Jiang, this way please!"

"This way, this way, I have a spot over here!"

Many Upper-rank Star Lords and First Grade Immortal Officials gathered around him closely, as if trying to win him over.

The immortals below watched this scene and couldn't even find words to describe the absurd feeling in their hearts.

Before today, ninety-nine percent of them had never heard the name Jiang Cheng.

They just thought he was an unknown nobody.

Who knew this 'unknown nobody' was actually the Chief of the grand Celestial Pill Department?

After picking their jaws up off the ground, some people gave meaningful looks to Wenren Sihai.

"Hey, wasn't someone just betting?"

With this reminder, everyone snapped back to attention.

Then, they all had schadenfreude smiles on their faces.

"Yeah, wasn't someone just so sure that Elder Jiang wasn't qualified to step onto the Purple Jade Platform?"

"Now not only is he up there, but he's sitting in the center. What do you say to that?"

They didn't even need Brother Cheng to prompt them as the immortal officials below were already urging it on his behalf.

They were actually quite annoyed too.

They had all been mocking Jiang Cheng earlier, and now they had been proven wrong.

And the instigator was President Wenren.

If it weren't for him repeatedly exposing so-called 'black history', even if they didn't know Jiang Cheng, they wouldn't have looked down on him so much.

After all, Brother Cheng had just emerged from the sea of clouds below as the first-place genius in the selection test.

"Wenren Sihai, shouldn't you be doing something now?"

President Wenren, who had long planned to slip away, was caught red-handed and his face looked very displeased.

He could only play dumb.

"Do what?"

The others wouldn't let him off the hook so easily.

"What do you think?"

"Hurry up and strip!"

"Run for a year, you said it yourself, we're all here to witness."

"Don't worry, we'll cheer for you till you finish running!"

President Wenren thought to himself, my thanks to your eight generations of ancestors.

Of course, he didn't want to strip naked and run around for a year.

Although it wouldn't cause any physical harm, it would definitely get recorded in the 'annals' of the Celestial Palace, and he'd never be able to show his face again.

He could only continue to resist desperately.

"This is between me and Jiang Cheng, what's it got to do with you guys?"

As he retreated from the field, he had several Supreme bodyguards protect him.

Unfortunately, there were too many immortal officials present.

And some of them were Daoist Venerables.

"Why so much nonsense?"

"Don't you want to keep your word?"

"Strip him!"

The next moment, Wenren Sihai was engulfed in a sea of people.

In an instant, his bodyguards were squeezed out to the edges.

His Immortal Armor was swiftly stripped off.

He struggled desperately, letting out repeated roars.

"My grandfather is Wenren Daoist Venerable..."

"Whatever Daoist Venerable, do you think you're the only one?"

"King Shi, King Lv... Aren't you going to do something?"

The several Divine Monarchs on the high platform pretended not to hear.

They even secretly put some pressure on Wenren Sihai, ordering him to shut up.

Soon, President Wenren was forced to start running around the field, becoming a bright spot on the sidelines.

For a moment, the entire venue was filled with laughter and joy.

And Jiang Cheng had unknowingly sat next to Qiu Yuxuan.

He even greeted Sister Qiu with a cheerful smile.

"Long time no see, seems like we were meant to be together, running into each other again and again."

Who's meant to be with you?

Qiu Yuxuan gritted her teeth, trying hard to swallow back the curse words threatening to burst out.

This seat was even closer to the center than those of the ten Divine Monarchs.

This made the eyes of the flattering high-level immortal officials at the back twitch uncontrollably.

Bro, that's not a place you can sit!

The Chief of the Celestial Pill Department is a First Grade Immortal Official and should be seated with us Upper-rank Star Lords.

You can't surpass the Divine Monarchs!

This is the rule of the Celestial Palace, set by the Celestial Emperor!

King Jing, King Shi, and King Lv were all very annoyed.

"Can you calm down a bit?"

"Do you have to push it?"

They wouldn't try to curry favor with Jiang Cheng just because he was the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, because the status of the Divine Monarchs is not to be trifled with.

Sect Leader Jiang looked over with surprise, feeling a bit puzzled.

"I'm not pushing it."

King Jing frowned and reprimanded.

"Step down and mind your position, that's not a place you can sit!"

"Why isn't it? Don't forget, my rank as Hidden Emperor is the same as the Celestial Emperor's."

Brother Cheng purposely wiggled his eyebrows and smiled slyly back.

"Isn't the Celestial Emperor fit to sit here?"

Uh this...

King Jing was speechless.

Completely unable to refute.

King Shi, King Lv, and Prince Yi all looked constipated.

They could only grumble unhappily.

"What are you so smug about?"

"Do you really think being Hidden Emperor is so special?"

"Let's see what you do in twenty-thousand years!"

"With your limited power, isn't it embarrassing to be Hidden Emperor?"

Brother Cheng smiled slightly, "Not only am I not embarrassed, I even think this seat is a bit beneath me."

The few Divine Monarchs were utterly defeated by him.

And the Star Lords and immortal officials behind them also expressed their shock once again.

What did we just hear?

This kid's rank is actually the same as the Celestial Emperor's?

To be honest, besides the Celestial Pill Department and the Divine Thunder Bureau, and a few others who had been to the Reception Department, the other immortal officials were still in the dark.

They had never heard of the title 'Hidden Emperor' until today.

So everyone started inquiring.

Although they couldn't find out about the bet with the Evil Immortal Realm, they soon understood what the Hidden Emperor was about.

"Whoa, there's actually such a position?"

"Are you kidding, with a rank at the same level as the Celestial Emperor, doesn't that make him like the eleventh Celestial Emperor?"

"Not exactly, it's just a nominal title."

"He's still the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, that's a real position of power!"

"A rank as high as a Celestial Venerable, that's just outrageous, isn't it?"

"Indeed, what on earth is going on?"

"This is too unbelievable!"

Once again, the entire venue erupted, stirring up another wave of exclamations.

And Sect Leader Jiang once again gained a wave of Reputation Value, gaining another 16.4 billion Immortal Yuan Points.

Compared to the previous two waves of shock, the Hidden Emperor revelation was actually more perplexing.

It's just that today everyone has been shocked too many times, leading to a bit of numbness and fatigue.

Brother Cheng felt today was truly his lucky day.

Three consecutive waves of shock since he appeared, it couldn't get any better.

By now his Immortal Yuan Points were nearly 60 billion.

To be honest, if it had been someone else inexplicably becoming the Hidden Emperor, without any reason given, the Purple Jade Platform would have been flipped by now.

All the First Grade Immortal Officials and Upper-rank Star Lords would not have accepted it, and they would definitely jump out with strong objections.

They might even escalate it to the Celestial Emperor.

It wouldn't matter if Jiang Cheng was a Celestial Venerable, even being a Daoist Venerable wouldn't be enough!

After all, the rank of Hidden Emperor is too high.

But now, because this brother also holds the position of Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, controlling the vital field of pills, they have to seriously consider this.

"Ahem, Elder Jiang... should... also be deserving, right?"

The Star Lord of An Yu was the first to express support, followed by others.

"That's right, that's right, there must be a reason from above."

"The Hidden Emperor lives up to the name!"
