114: Altering the fate of the Demon Emperor

On the Star Observation Platform of the Bureau of Astronomy.

Di Yan's thoughts flowed, and his control over the power of the territory became increasingly effortless.

This enhancement was profoundly mysterious, far beyond merely elevating immortal spiritual qi.

All civil and military officials in the court who were loyal to the Dynasty felt their minds clear, handling government affairs and comprehending Laws as if divinely aided.

But those with hidden agendas inexplicably felt palpitations and oppression.

They always felt as if a pair of cold eyes were constantly watching them from behind, making them restless, sweating profusely, and even finding it hard to breathe.

The most obvious changes were in the new lives about to be born.

Within the territory, all pregnant women felt waves of vibrant vitality emanating from their wombs.

A gentle energy passed through the mother's body, nourishing the unborn child.

The bone structure, Meridians, and even Innate spiritual wisdom of these infants were already being enhanced while still in the womb.

In time, the Dynasty would inevitably produce more Cultivation geniuses and capable ministers for governance.

Even children under eighteen years old were unknowingly nourished by this power, their blood and qi growing increasingly vigorous, and their spiritual platforms becoming clearer day by day.

Finally, there was the cohesion on the spiritual level.

At this very moment, all subjects of the Dynasty.

Whether Cultivators or Mortals, whether in bustling capitals or remote tribes.

All vaguely sensed an indescribable connection forming between themselves, the land beneath their feet, and the Emperor in the Nine Heavens.

Simultaneously, the sense of belonging as a person of the Dynasty quietly sprouted in the hearts of all beings.

After introducing Ye Gucheng and Master of the Ghost Valley to each other.

Di Yan took Ye Gucheng and left the Star Observation Platform.

Just as they returned to the Imperial Study, a graceful figure hurried over—it was Su Mei.

"Your Majesty, something major has happened!"

Di Yan looked up to see Su Mei quickly entering the hall, her beautiful face showing a rare urgency.

Almost simultaneously, a System notification sounded in his mind:

"[Ding! Detected the Yao Emperor's Fate Holder Long Yin. Use the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Comrades Yao Emperor Card?]"

Di Yan's mind stirred slightly. His gaze swept over Su Mei as he silently thought, "Use it!"

"[Ding! Altering the fate and memories of Yao Emperor Long Yin...]"

He showed no sign on his face and calmly asked, "What matter has you so flustered?"

Su Mei took out a slightly glowing Communication Jade Pendant, her expression serious: "You've always been concerned about my close friend, right? She's about to get married."

Di Yan's expression shifted: "Yao Emperor Long Yin's daughter, Long Kui?"

Su Mei nodded vigorously: "Exactly her."

As soon as she spoke, she suddenly froze, looking at Di Yan in astonishment: "Wait, how do you know my adoptive father's name?"

Di Yan understood inwardly—it was indeed him.

But on the surface, he countered lightly: "Why are you telling me this? Weren't you previously afraid I would disturb your friend's peace?"

A trace of discomfort flashed across Su Mei's face, and her voice softened: "I've been in this palace for a long time and inevitably feel a bit bored. I thought it would be nice to have a familiar sister to keep me company."

Di Yan's lips curved slightly into a faint smile: "So, you want me to snatch the bride?"

Su Mei simply walked closer, directly sitting sideways into Di Yan's embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck: "Exactly! You must go and snatch her, and you absolutely must succeed in getting her."

Di Yan naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist: "Aren't you afraid she'll be angry with you once she learns the truth?"

Su Mei immediately put on a righteous and stern expression, a sly glint flashing in her eyes: "I'm saving her from a dire situation, sparing her from an unfortunate political marriage. Once she knows in the future, she'll be grateful to me!"

"How long has it been since you last saw her? And who is she marrying?" Di Yan continued to ask.

Su Mei recalled: "It's been almost twenty years."

"Back then, she was carefree and unrestrained. Who would have thought she'd be getting married so soon."

"As for who she's marrying, I heard it's the current Young Lord of the God Race."

She paused, considering the implications, and her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of worry: "Your Majesty, if you really go to snatch the bride, you'll offend both the God Race and the Yao Race."

"The Immortal Kings of the two races combined, at least four on the surface. You..."

Her words abruptly stopped, but the concern was already evident.

At that moment, the System notification sounded again:

"[Ding! Congratulations, host. Successfully altered the fate and memories of Yao Emperor Long Yin!]"

Di Yan's smile deepened slightly. He reached out a finger and gently tapped Su Mei's delicate nose: "Do you believe that your adoptive father not only won't stop me but will personally deliver his daughter to me?"

Su Mei was stunned at first, then couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, her body trembling lightly in his embrace.

"Your Majesty, your words are truly..."

She raised her slender jade-like finger and gently tapped Di Yan's chest, her eyes full of mischief and disbelief: "What kind of person is my adoptive father? The Yao Emperor who has ruled the Yao Race for millions of years, with profound dignity."

"If he really would personally deliver his daughter, then unless..."

She deliberately drew out her words, blinking her moist eyes as she looked Di Yan up and down: "Unless my adoptive father has gone mad."

"Since you don't believe it, why not wait and see?" Di Yan didn't explain further. Instead, he turned to Wei Zhongxian standing nearby and ordered: "Summon the Human Emperor to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian bowed in acknowledgment and quietly withdrew.

Di Yan gently patted Su Mei's waist: "Go, fetch me a blank imperial edict."

Though full of doubts, Su Mei complied, rising and walking to a nearby Rosewood Shelf. She retrieved a roll of bright yellow blank imperial edict and spread it out on the wide Imperial Desk.

Di Yan picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began writing with bold strokes.

Su Mei leaned in, watching intently.

When she saw the content of the imperial edict clearly, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with a low gasp, her beautiful eyes wide with shock.

"Your Majesty! Your Subject asked you to snatch the bride! Not to issue an edict to take her as a consort!"

Di Yan didn't respond to that. He just set down the brush and asked: "When exactly is the wedding? And how long does it take to get from here to the Myriad Laws Star Realm?"

Su Mei snapped back to reality, suppressing the shock in her heart, and quickly said: "The wedding date is set for three months from now."

"If you want to deliver the edict to the Myriad Laws Star Realm before the wedding, you need to send at least one Profound Immortal traveling day and night to possibly arrive in time."

Di Yan nodded slightly and said no more.

Not long after, Wei Zhongxian led a tall and straight man into the hall.

The newcomer had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with an aura of imperial authority faintly circulating around him—it was the Human Emperor, Xuanyuan Che.

"Your younger brother pays respects to Your Majesty." Xuanyuan Che bowed in salute, his voice steady.

Di Yan nodded: "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuanyuan Che stood up, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

He wondered what this unfathomable elder brother had summoned him for.

Di Yan briefly informed him about Long Kui's impending marriage to the Young Lord of the God Race, then handed over the imperial edict in his hand.

"AChe, personally go to the Myriad Laws Star Realm, proclaim this edict, and ensure you safely bring back your sister-in-Law who has been away."

Xuanyuan Che took the imperial edict with both hands and bowed in acknowledgment: "Your younger brother obeys the order."

Di Yan then looked at Ye Gucheng: "Ye Gucheng, set aside the matters of the Sky Patrol Department for now. Escort the Human Emperor to the Myriad Laws Star Realm, and make sure to arrive within three months."

Ye Gucheng stepped forward and bowed: "Your Subject obeys the order."

Di Yan nodded: "In that case, set off immediately. Don't delay this matter!"

Xuanyuan Che hesitated for a moment but finally asked: "Elder brother, after all these years, do you have any news of our third brother and the others?"
