[The Emperor of the Continent, Brother Windcloud Nine has committed blasphemy against the gods and he has been stripped of his title as Emperor of the Continent.]

 With that, the Windcloud Empire had fallen, and the Pantheon Continent had returned to its former state…

 “Foolish mortals, this is what you get for going against a god!”

 A divine radiance cloaked Carulla’s body. Not long after she had penalized Brother Nine, her body slowly faded away.

 She had returned to Mount Pantheon.

 The battle was now over. The King of Northwind had vanished, and the Divine Sword of Wind had returned to its original position. Only silence remained in the Shrine.

 “Resurrect!”

 Li Yi stood back up, produced his Cardiac Pacemaker, and jolted Brother Windcloud Nine to life.

 Brother Windcloud Nine was slightly depressed at the turn of events. “Sigh, it’s really impossible, huh.”

 Through the tone of his voice, it was clear that losing his position as Emperor had dealt a huge blow.

 “For now, yes, but that doesn’t necessarily apply to the future.”

 In contrast to Brother Windcloud Nine’s reaction, Li Yi was barely affected by their loss as he had already expected the outcome.

 Poof—

 A longsword that emitted a pale blue aura had appeared in Li Yi’s hands. It was one of the seven Sealing Swords that had dropped from the Seven Genghises.

 Initially, the Sealing Sword did not possess any stats. This was intentional as its special ‘Sealing ability’ would allow it to seal any and all sorts of elemental powers.

 While Li Yi was battling against Carulla and the King of Northwind earlier, Li Yi had secretly swapped his new Wind Sword with the Sealing Sword. His original plan was to suck in Carulla’s Divine Power, but it had failed. However, when he switched his target to the Divine Sword of Wind, he had succeeded!

 At present, the Sealing Sword was filled with the Presence of Wind. It was full of vitality, and like the root of a plant, it continued to propagate, gradually growing in strength.

 It was the Sealing Sword’s unique ability, Seal, which sealed the power of others and amplified it for the player’s personal use.

 From that moment onwards, the Sealing Sword would take on the title of the Wind Elemental Sword, whose strength was second only to the original Wind’s Divine Sword. It was an impeccable counterfeit of the Divine Sword of Wind.

 Now that Li Yi had the Wind Elemental Sword, he could also use the Divine Powers. With it, the odds of beating Carulla the next time they meet had also greatly increased.

 “Brother, is it difficult to regain the title of The Emperor of the Continent?”

 Li Yi shook his head. While he knew how to become the Emperor of the Continent, his knowledge did not extend to those who had stepped down from it.

 “Sigh…” Brother Windcloud Nine’s voice was full of disappointment. Since he was still in a coma, King of Pantheon meant the entire world to him, as such, his emotions after having his title as Emperor robbed from him was palpable.

 Brother Windcloud Nine placed his hand on his back and brushed over the Punishment inscription. He then asked, “Brother, will this Punishment inscription cause any detriments to me?”

 “The marking proves that you have been abandoned by the pantheon. So long as the inscription exists, you will never be able to use any skills or special skills.”

 “Come again?”

 Brother Windcloud Nine was utterly stupefied. He attempted to cast Holy Shield Spell, only to notice that not a single ounce of holy light was emitted from his hands. He had failed to cast Holy Shield Spell.

 “Territory— God’s Blessing!”

 Although Brother Windcloud Nine had said the words, there was no divine light that cloaked his body. In fact, nothing had occurred, which meant that his Territory Skill had also failed to activate…

 “F*ck, this isn’t real right? Right? F*ck me!” it was only then did Brother Windcloud Nine realize the severity of his situation.

 “F*ck me! Carulla you sunnavab*tch! Damn…”

 Brother Windcloud Nine was starting to mess up the order of his words.

 “When will this effect disappear?”

 “There are two methods for its removal. One, is for Carulla to remove it herself, and the other, is to kill Carulla.”

 “…” Brother Windcloud Nine was truly speechless.

 The loss of his title as Emperor was still something he could accept, as he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to reclaim his title. However, with all of his skills and special skills sealed away, how on earth was he supposed to continue playing?

 The ATK stats of Holy Shield Paladins was already weak to begin with, and even if he possessed a divine weapon, how many hits would it take just to kill off a single unit?

 Brother Windcloud Nine was furious. “Motherf*cker! You’d better believe that I’ll delete this account if there are no solutions!”

 “You don’t need to go so far!” Li Yi hastily stopped Brother Windcloud Nine. He then continued, “You’ll need to redo everything if you delete your account, and you would also require at least a year’s time in order to return to your current position. It really isn’t worth it.”

 “Then what should I do? At least it’s better than being a King of Normal Attacks right?”

 “There are pros and cons for being punished. What’s with all the fuss, don’t you know that you’re actually quite lucky?”

 Brother Windcloud Nine gave a smile that was even more pitiful than his sad expression. “Lucky? Brother, do you know what kind of situation I’m in? I can’t believe you still have the nerve to joke around.”

 “I’m not joking. Don’t you know that it’s extremely rare to be punished by the God Queen? Just take me as an example, she didn’t even bat an eye at me when she issued the Punishment on you…”

 “Ha…ha…Sigh…”

 “Have you ever heard of the hidden classes?”

 Brother Windcloud Nine nodded his head. “Of course I heard. Your Jiaojiao’s Dark Paladin and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Martial Artists are both hidden classes.”

 “What about the others then?”

 After giving it some thought, Brother Nine asked, “Dragon Riders?”

 Li Yi shook his head.

 “No clue then.”

 “Aside from the Dark Paladins and the Martial Artists, King of Pantheon also has the Blademasters and the God-Chastised Paladin as hidden classes!”

 “Blademaster… God-Chastised Paladin?” Brother Windcloud Nine could not help but reach out to back.

 “Yep, the Blademasters are the king of all sword type weapons, and they’re able to use over ten thousand swords to do battle. On the other hand, the God-Chastised Paladins are a hidden class that was formed due to necessity, as those who had been cursed by the gods would find themselves unable to use any conventional class skills nor special skills. One of the Three Heroes of Humanity, Emperor Lan, is also a God-Chastised Paladin.”

 Brother Windcloud Nine’s voice was bursting with excitement. “So, what you’re saying is that I can become a God-Chastised Paladin?”

 “Right on!”

 “Go look for Emperor Lan. I’m sure he’ll tell you what to do.”

 Although Li Yi did not totally understand the process of becoming a God-Chastised Paladin, from an NPC standpoint, Emperor Lan was a God-Chastised Paladin, and even those without a brain would know that Emperor Lan was a must-visit in order to become a God-Chastised Paladin.

 “Alright alright, I’m going to test him out. Oh yeah, where’s Emperor Lan anyways? Hmm… ah, he should still be at Foreignland’s entrance. I remember meeting him right before I came here. Haha, time to get going then. So long brother!”

 Brother Windcloud Nine was excited to such an extent that he had subconsciously attempted to use teleport. He waved his hands a few times, but he still did not take off. Now that he was no longer Emperor of the Continent, it was only natural for his Teleport to be disabled.

 Brother Windcloud Nine then switched to his Return City Stone and left.

 Due to the Emperor’s sudden resignation, change had once again taken place in the Pantheon World.

 The unified front that was arduously formed was shattered, and the pacts between the nations were gone. The world was once again in chaos.

 War erupted, smoke billowed from all corners. PKs for territories were commonplace, and this phenomenon had swept all over the Pantheon World…

 While the war was going on, Li Yi teleported to the Southern Continent with his Emperor’s Sword in tow.

 Out of all seven Sealing Swords, Li Yi had only used a single one. As such, he still had six of them on him, and now that he had tasted the power from one of it, he decided to set a new goal. He would attempt to seal the Fire, Water, and Earth Presence from the remaining Divine Swords!
