Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1358 - 1048: Formal Annexation of the Chiyue Dynasty
Chapter 1358 -1048: Formal Annexation of the Chiyue Dynasty
Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Mystery Maiden, Lu Yuanzheng fell into a prolonged silence, pondering deeply.
At first, he truly believed that their father sent them to various worlds for training in order to choose the successor. If it weren’t for him awakening the ability to foresee the future during the trials, he might still be in the dark.
He had long since reached the Saint Realm, but whenever he thought of the future he deduced, where his father slaughtered all his offspring and then reincarnated into his body, he was terrified.
Fortunately, he had learned some secret techniques to shield his presence from the Heavenly Mechanism, preventing Emperor Shenwu from sensing through bloodline power that he had become a Saint.
Otherwise, he might have already been reincarnated by Emperor Shenwu.
It wouldn’t just be him; none of his siblings would escape.
Now, Lu Yuanzheng was lost, unsure of what to do.
At this moment, something occurred to him. He stared directly at the Heavenly Mystery Maiden and said, “Saintess, if I am not mistaken, the reason I could awaken the ability to deduce Heavenly Mechanism is because of the Tianji Pavilion’s assistance?”
Lu Yuanzheng was no fool. He had not been pursuing the Path of Deduction, so how could he suddenly awaken such an ability?
In retrospect, if he hadn’t awakened this deduction technique, he wouldn’t have concealed his cultivation. Likely, his father would have already reincarnated into his body and become even stronger.
A person who had not studied deduction techniques suddenly awakened one and thwarted his father’s plans; such techniques were closely tied to the Tianji Pavilion. Coupled with the inherent conflicts between the Tianji Pavilion and his father—
It was hard not to think that all of this was orchestrated by the Tianji Pavilion.
Furthermore, another aspect that made Lu Yuanzheng suspect the Tianji Pavilion’s involvement was the ability to shield from the Heavenly Mechanism.
He didn’t believe that, with his ability, he could fully conceal himself from the Heavenly Mechanism, preventing his father from sensing through bloodline power that he had reached the Saint Realm.
Most likely, someone from the Tianji Pavilion helped him shield himself from the Heavenly Mechanism.
The Heavenly Mystery Maiden said indifferently, “You are very clever; indeed, all of this is related to the Tianji Pavilion.”
“If it weren’t for the Tianji Pavilion’s intervention, you would have been reincarnated by your father by now.”
Lu Yuanzheng immediately asked, “Since the Tianji Pavilion can change my fate, I suppose with its capability, it can also help me completely escape this crisis?”
The Heavenly Mystery Maiden turned and walked to a high platform in the Tianji Pavilion, her back to Lu Yuanzheng, and said, “The Tianji Pavilion will not engage in direct conflict with Emperor Shenwu.”
Lu Yuanzheng was stunned; the Tianji Pavilion had already interfered with his future, but now it said it would not face Emperor Shenwu directly.
Merely by disrupting Emperor Shenwu’s plan, the Tianji Pavilion had already offended him. If Emperor Shenwu found out, direct conflict would be inevitable.
The Tianji Pavilion was trying to extract itself from the situation, which seemed too naive. Did it really think Emperor Shenwu would never discover what they had done?
The Heavenly Mystery Maiden continued, “A new variable has appeared. As long as you leave the Shenyue Dynasty, your life will be safe.”
Hearing these words, Lu Yuanzheng was dumbfounded. It was that simple to escape the crisis just by leaving the Shenyue Dynasty?
What was this new variable that the Heavenly Mystery Maiden mentioned?
Lu Yuanzheng pondered for a while but could not figure out what the new variable was. He decided to stop thinking about it. Since the Heavenly Mystery Maiden said that leaving the Shenyue Dynasty would ensure his safety, he decided never to return.
After all, with the Tianji Pavilion’s help in shielding him from the Heavenly Mechanism, his father should not be able to find him.
Lu Yuanzheng quickly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Saintess!”
“I can never repay Tianji Pavilion’s great kindness. If there is anything I can do for Tianji Pavilion in the future, I will surely help.”
Lu Yuanzheng’s words were merely polite; he knew very well that with the Tianji Pavilion’s power, it would never need someone like him, a mere Saint.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was the son of Emperor Shenwu, he wouldn’t even qualify to meet the Heavenly Mystery Maiden.
The Heavenly Mystery Maiden said coldly, “If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”
Lu Yuanzheng bowed again and said, “Then I shall take my leave.”
As he finished speaking, Lu Yuanzheng’s body vanished on the spot.
The Heavenly Mystery Maiden still stood on the high platform, gazing at the distant scenery of the Original Continent.
She muttered to herself, “I didn’t expect this pawn to become useless so quickly. Had I known about that variable back then, I wouldn’t have spent such effort on this pawn.”
Just then, a maid appeared behind the Heavenly Mystery Maiden and said, “Saintess, the Tower Master requests your immediate presence upon your return.”
As soon as the maid finished speaking, the Heavenly Mystery Maiden’s body disintegrated into starlight and scattered from the high platform.
…
Chiyue Dynasty, Emperor Star.
Today marked the day the Chiyue Dynasty merged into the Daxia Dynasty. The domain lords of all the major star domains within the Chiyue Dynasty had gathered early in the Imperial Palace Square, awaiting the start of the merger ceremony.
There was no dissent among the factions within the Chiyue Dynasty regarding the merger with the Daxia Dynasty. Even the ancestors who founded the dynasty chose to pledge allegiance to the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty; what waves could these Quasi-Emperors stir?
Pei Tianlu, dressed in a dragon robe, stood on the broad path within the square, holding a wooden tray. Within the tray were the Jade Seal and a sword symbolizing imperial power.
At this moment, a voice resounded from the sky, “The Heavenly Emperor has arrived!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the square knelt down.
Subsequently, Lu Chen slowly walked towards Pei Tianlu from the other end of the path.
The sound of the people echoed in the square.
“Hail the Heavenly Emperor!!!”
When Lu Chen reached Pei Tianlu, Pei Tianlu immediately knelt and said, “I, Pei Tianlu, founder of the Chiyue Dynasty, hereby entreat the Heavenly Dao to witness my oath. I willingly abdicate the throne and pledge allegiance to the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty. From this moment on, I shall be the sword of the Daxia Emperor. Wherever the sword points, I shall sweep away all obstacles. If I betray, may I suffer the wrath of heaven.”
Lu Chen took the Jade Seal and sword symbolizing imperial power from Pei Tianlu’s tray and then declared, “I accept your allegiance!”
As soon as Lu Chen spoke, he felt a surge of boundless Qi Fortune flow into his body, while the people in the square felt their Qi Fortune rapidly drain.
But soon, a new wave of Qi Fortune enveloped everyone present. With this influx of Qi Fortune, some Quasi-Emperors at the scene entered into Enlightenment, and some Saints even broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
For a moment, everyone was ecstatic. They hadn’t expected that merely changing allegiance, merging with the Daxia Dynasty, would bring them such great benefits.
Given their innate cultivation talent, many would never achieve such breakthroughs in their lifetimes, but the infusion of the Daxia Dynasty’s Qi Fortune instantly gave everyone hope.
The people’s voices once again filled the square.
“We vow to follow the Heavenly Emperor to the death!”
Lu Chen turned and glanced at everyone present before saying, “Rise!” frёeωebɳovel.com
“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!”
At that moment, Lu Chen sensed the sign of a breakthrough. He promptly announced to the crowd, “In three months, we march on the Qingyun Dynasty!”
The people instantly responded in unison, “Where the sword points, we shall be invincible!!!”
“Where the sword points, we shall be invincible!!!”
“Where the sword points, we shall be invincible!!!”
