510: The little star god is about to arrive at the battlefield

Soon after, the officials, with heavy hearts, exited the Golden Luan Hall.

Why were their hearts heavy?

Because this time, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor did not personally act.

The Immortal Dynasty had experienced countless battles, big and small, over 120,000 years.

Yet, no matter the occasion, as long as it concerned an otherworldly realm, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor would always lead the charge, being the first to enter the foreign realm.

If the foreign realm was strong, he would personally act and sweep through it.

If the foreign realm was weak, he would still tour it a few times, only returning to Canglan Star after confirming that it posed no threat to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

But what about this time?

He merely instructed the Celestial Officials and military marquises to lead their armies to war, showing no intention of personally participating.

'Could it be true, as rumored, that the Celestial Emperor truly suffered severe injuries, perhaps even to his Origin, making it impossible for him to act easily?'

Amidst the officials' apprehension, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor then looked at the Great Yu Crown Prince, his own son, Yu Fei.

"Does the Crown Prince have anything else to say?"

Yu Fei's expression shifted for a moment, then his knees suddenly buckled, and he prostrated himself on the ground:

"Your son has sinned."

A hint of regret appeared in the Great Yu Celestial Emperor's eyes:

"You are indeed guilty."

Yu Fei, kneeling on the ground, trembled, then heard the Great Yu Celestial Emperor speak again:

"But your sin is not in conceiving the ambition to usurp the throne by patricide."

Looking at Yu Fei, who was trembling even more severely on the ground, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor sighed again:

"A Crown Prince for 120,000 years."

"Heh~"

"120,000 years."

"Which Crown Prince wouldn't grow weary of this position?"

"When I ascended the throne, there was a demonic empress causing chaos internally, and powerful relatives monopolizing power externally. Though I was an emperor, how was I different from a Puppet?"

"To control the world is the ambition our imperial family should naturally possess."

"Do you know where you erred?"

Yu Fei remained silent, merely trembling.

He only knew that with the Celestial Emperor having recovered his strength, his ambition to usurp the throne by patricide could not succeed.

As for escaping?

He could escape for a while, but not forever; he would be caught sooner or later.

Rather than being caught and executed by a thousand cuts, he might as well gamble that his father still held some paternal affection and would not strike him down.

Looking at Yu Fei's unpromising appearance, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor sighed again:

"Your mistake lies in your insufficient strength, and you erred by listening to a woman's words, and even more by being indecisive and overly cautious in your actions."

"If your strength were sufficient, why wouldn't I yield this Celestial Emperor's position to you?"

"If you hadn't listened to a woman's words, even if you harbored rebellious thoughts, how would you dare to act on them?"

"If you hadn't been indecisive and overly cautious, after guessing that my remnant soul might have taken over this damaged body, you should have decisively mobilized Great Yu's Luck to fight me to the death. You weren't without a chance to win."

"Alas, you failed to do any of the above."

Yu Fei trembled again:

"Your son knows his mistake."

The Great Yu Celestial Emperor shook his head:

"Return to the Eastern Palace."

"Three hundred thousand years of confinement."

"During these three hundred thousand years, I will not deprive you of Cultivation resources."

"If you can understand, after three hundred thousand years, you will still be the Crown Prince."

"If you cannot understand, after three hundred thousand years, go to the Lower Realm and become a prince or marquis."

Yu Fei suddenly looked up at the Great Yu Celestial Emperor, then slammed his head on the ground with a "bang":

"Your son takes his leave."

Watching Yu Fei exit the Golden Luan Hall, the Great Yu Celestial Emperor's face grew a few shades older:

"I suppose I've given Fellow Daoist a laugh."

In the spatial interlayer, Yang Dian, who was happily munching on sunflower seeds, froze.

'I've been discovered?'

'I'm in the 69th spatial interlayer; even the Stellar Ancestor might not be able to find me. How could you?'

In his astonishment, Yang Dian looked around, finally fixing his gaze on a wisp of dust in the 27th spatial interlayer.

"Where did that dust in the spatial interlayer come from?"

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Yang Dian saw the wisp of dust, which he had carelessly overlooked, float gracefully out of the spatial interlayer and transform into a middle-aged man with a sword box on his back, exuding an immortal and Daoist aura.

"This aura..."

"It seems to have reached the high-level Star Dome Realm, or even close to the Star Remains Realm?"

"But with such limited strength, how dare he come to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty?"

"Or is he just the vanguard? Are the true powerhouses still behind him?"

While Yang Dian pondered, the middle-aged man cupped his hands and bowed to the Great Yu Celestial Emperor:

"From the Taicang Realm, Heavenly Dao Sect, Peak Master Jian Jiu of Heavenly Sword Peak, greets the Great Yu Celestial Emperor."

"Taicang Realm." The Great Yu Celestial Emperor chuckled and then spoke:

"Five hundred years ago, my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty invaded a world named Heavenly Water."

"There were traces of your presence in that world."

"Unfortunately, by coincidence, you had already concluded your realm war with them before we could lock onto the Heavenly Water Realm."

As he spoke, his eyes gradually grew indifferent:

"You couldn't even conquer a small Heavenly Water Realm, so who gave you the courage to offend my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty?"

Jian Jiu, hearing this, smiled faintly and said:

"If it were a month or so ago, we naturally wouldn't dare to violate the Great Yu's divine might."

"But who told you, Celestial Emperor, to be so arrogant and encounter an unimaginable formidable enemy in a foreign realm, almost perishing?"

As he spoke, he continued to smile at the Great Yu Celestial Emperor:

"I wonder how much of your former strength the Celestial Emperor can still exert now?"

"One percent? One-thousandth? One ten-thousandth?"

"Or even less?"

The Great Yu Celestial Emperor's eyes grew even more indifferent:

"Even if this Emperor is severely injured, he is not someone you mere small fries can fathom."

As he spoke, he bent his index finger and gently tapped the armrest of the Golden Luan throne.

The next moment, the Golden Dragons on the coiling Dragon pillars in the Golden Luan Hall moved at the sound, transforming into golden chains that coiled around Jian Jiu.

Jian Jiu allowed the chains to wrap around his body, embedding themselves in his flesh and blood.

This body was merely his Sword Intent Clone, sent here simply to test the Great Yu Celestial Emperor's true condition.

"To deal with a Sword Intent Clone, you still need to use the Great Yu's Luck."

"Indeed, just as rumored, you have suffered an Origin injury that is difficult to recover from."

"This Canglan Star, our Heavenly Dao Sect, will take it."

As his voice faded, Jian Jiu's Sword Intent Clone was instantly refined by the chains, turning into nothingness and dissipating.

Yang Dian looked at the Great Yu Celestial Emperor, whose expression was indifferent and completely unmoved by Jian Jiu's words, and pondered:

"So, is the Great Yu Celestial Emperor truly unable to act, or is he playing a very grand game?"

After thinking for a while, Yang Dian shook his head again:

"Forget it, I won't think about it. It doesn't matter."

"When the little star god's aura emerges through the wormhole, or even when the little star god tears open the wormhole and rushes through."

"If you don't flee, I'll consider you impressive."
