Chapter 888: 888 for Chongming Country engagement! [2 more updates]
It’s actually much easier for people of Chongming Country to awaken their Divine Bloodline than for those of Cangyuan Country.
Due to the lack of resources in Cangyuan Country, they need to go through assessments at Neptune Military Academy annually. Only those who pass the selection can go to the Sea of Stars, enter the Holy Pond, undergo the baptism, and thus awaken their Divine Bloodline.
But Chongming Country possesses Supreme Wisdom. As long as one has the bloodline, they can awaken it through the hands of Supreme Wisdom, even if the bloodline is quite thin and low-grade.
They do not need assessments like the Cangyuan people, nor do they need to wait for the Holy Pond to open.
How could the bloodline not awaken?
"This matter has not yet been officially announced. Since you are the Crown Prince, it’s okay to tell you first," King Tianheng said indifferently. "This is the notice issued by the Exalted Messenger and also our God’s will. Just seven days ago, Chongming Country has completely shut itself off."
Beiyin was taken aback: "Completely shut off?"
"That’s right," King Tianheng said, "It’s not just a physical shutdown; all external networks have been disconnected as well. In short, no one can enter Chongming Country now, but no one can leave either."
Beiyin was greatly shocked: "How could it be like this?"
"It’s because the final battle is about to arrive soon," King Tianheng said, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. "Crown Prince, do you know that thousands of years ago, on Atlantis, there was only one country, named ’Cangming’?"
Beiyin lowered his head: "I know, father. Please enlighten me."
"There’s an ancient saying in Shenzhou: The general trend of the world is, what is long divided will unite, and what is long united will divide," said King Tianheng lightly. "Atlantis is about to unite into one. We are about to start preparing for war, so we absolutely cannot let Cangyuan Country or the humans on land get any bit of our news."
This kind of comprehensive shutdown is indeed unprecedented.
However, King Tianheng also didn’t know that the reason for the shutdown was because the phantom of Supreme Wisdom was forced back by Ye Wanlan’s slash and it had previously exhausted its essence to send the full-powered Three Envoys to the land, causing it to fall into a slumber.
So Envoy Lianhua and Envoy Miao Yin decided to directly close the border.
Even the servers of the Zeroing Community were shut down. Now, only the internal network of Chongming Country is running, but it can’t have any communication with the outside world.
"But this..." Beiyin opened his mouth, "What does this have to do with the awakening of the Divine Bloodline?"
"How to awaken the bloodline while the Exalted Messengers are in seclusion?" King Tianheng lost his patience, "Crown Prince, although our Chongming is divinely granted monarch’s authority, you still cannot rest easy. If you do not pass next month’s assessment, you won’t need to be Crown Prince anymore!"
After speaking, he didn’t even look at the expression on Beiyin’s face and called the guards to escort Beiyin out of the hall.
The sun was high in the sky, and the glow was splendid.
It was daytime, Beiyin stood in the warm sunlight, but only felt cold all over.
Not because his position as Crown Prince was about to be removed, but because of the impending war.
Whenever there is war, it’s the common people who suffer the most. fгeewebnovёl.com
When Beiyin returned to the Crown Prince Mansion, Yan Tingfeng had already finished dining with Xuan Tan’s company.
In the midst of Xuan Tan’s stunned gaze, he calmly finished twenty dishes and five buckets of white rice.
But Yan Tingfeng was still not full, he smiled and asked: "Mother, is there any more?"
The moment these meals went into his stomach, they were converted into Inner Strength, operating the Dantian and delivering it through the major meridians throughout his body.
The spiritual energy in Atlantis is much higher than on land, but still quite scarce.
"Son... although you just woke up, you should eat slower," Xuan Tan stammered, "It’s not good to hurt your stomach."
"Rest assured, Mother." Yan Tingfeng said calmly, "I will not eat myself sick."
"Alright then, I’ll have someone prepare more for you," Xuan Tan was finally convinced. Seeing Beiyin return, she eagerly asked, "Ayin, how did it go?"
"Something big happened." Beiyin took a deep breath, repeating everything King Tianheng told him.
Xuan Tan was also extremely astonished: "How could it be so sudden?"
Yan Tingfeng continued to slowly eat the last piece of dessert on the table, his movements unhurried, yet his almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
In a few seconds, he had deduced the entire sequence of events.
It seems that Xiao Wan has successfully killed the Three Envoys, even affecting the Supreme Wisdom.
If it weren’t for this, Chongming Country’s strength has always been above Cangyuan Country; why would they choose to close the border?
Yan Tingfeng’s eyelashes lowered, with a gentle, faint smile.
Princess Yongning is always able to accomplish what others cannot.
Even though he gave her part of his power, it is only because she is strong enough to truly exert its full potential.
"What should we do?" Xuan Tan panicked, "If Ting’er fails to awaken the Divine Bloodline, he’ll be inferior to his peers from body to soul; how will he handle it in the future?"
"Indeed," Beiyin said pensively, "When war breaks out, none of us can stay out of it."
"Father, Mother, no need to worry about me," Yan Tingfeng finished the last bite of dessert and smiled faintly, "Mother, why not continue to tell me about the Royal Family assessment a month later?"
Even though it’s been less than two hours with Xuan Tan, he’s already sorted out the relationships and affairs of the entire Zhongming Royal Family.
Beiyin only married Xuan Tan and they have two sons. They remain low-key in the Zhongming Royal Family and have never done anything against their conscience.
But the kinder people are more likely to be ostracized among a group of villains.
"You just woke up, the Royal Family assessment does not concern you." Beiyin started, "By then, I will find a way to keep you out of it."
Yan Tingfeng raised an eyebrow at this: "So if you fail the assessment, will father’s faction be eliminated?"
"Ting’er, how could you..." Beiyin was stunned for a moment and looked at Xuan Tan.
Xuan Tan shrugged: "I swear, I didn’t tell Ting’er this."
Losing the title of Crown Prince is a small matter, but losing one’s life is a big one.
But indeed, among his peers, he hasn’t produced a suitable heir for the Zhongming Royal Family.
"Wife, Ting’er, I haven’t wanted to be Crown Prince for a long time," Beiyin smiled bitterly, "But without being Crown Prince, without real power, I can’t protect you."
Xuan Tan lightly shook her head and softly said, "It doesn’t matter to me. Fortunately, Ting’er is awake. As long as we secretly send him out and announce his passing, no one will target him."
Yan Tingfeng’s hand suddenly tightened around the chopsticks.
This scene brought him back to the year he was three, atop the Bottomless Cliff, with the ringing of blades and swords, and blood splattering everywhere.
At that time, he was powerless and could not stop it.
Now, he has the power and doesn’t want such things to repeat.
Yan Tingfeng raised his head: "What can be gained from passing the assessment?"
"This is the last assessment, and passing it means being coronated as King," Beiyin paused, "But it’s a pity, that’s impossible."
"Coronation?" Yan Tingfeng seemed thoughtful, speaking unhurriedly, "Then if I offer Chongming Country as a bride price, that gift should suffice."
"Clang——"
