554: Yu Fei: Me? Become a rebel?

Canglan Star was still relatively calm.

Perhaps it was because of the convergence of the three stars, and Taicang and Chongmings didn't want to make a move without fully understanding the current situation.

Or perhaps it was because the unexpected appearance of the Little Star God consumed too much energy from the Cultivators of both stars.

In short, the three stars recently declared a truce for this period, jointly researching the Little Star God.

As for the Little Star God?

It was still staring at the dim yellow giant tree on Chongming Star.

According to the information Zero monitored, after it destroyed the Great Yu Immortal Capital, it no longer paid attention to Canglan Star, nor did it bother with the Taicang Star Cultivators who occasionally flew out to scout its 'body'. It just kept staring at Chongming Star.

However, its method of attacking Chongming Star was somewhat playful.

Although countless Silicon-based lifeforms lived 'on' its body, each time it dispatched troops, it only sent a small squad of Star Tinder Behemoths and Winged Flame Dragons to sacrifice themselves to the Chongming Star Cultivators.

After observing the Little Star God from outside Canglan Star for a while, Yang Dian was somewhat baffled.

"What exactly does this mean? Why is it like this?"

"I understand it not making a move itself, but why doesn't it send out all the Silicon-based lifeforms on its body at once?"

After much thought, Yang Dian couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking.

Thinking too much made his head hurt.

He turned and flew around Canglan Star a few times.

Not long after, at a depth of ten thousand meters beneath the sea of Canglan Star.

Looking at the massive city not far away, drifting with the ocean currents and stretching as far as the eye could see, a hint of awe flashed in Yang Dian's eyes.

"As expected of a Cultivation world. Not only can they build such a large city underwater, but they can also make it float with the seawater."

Amidst his amazement, he passed through a thin membrane designed to block seawater and entered the new Capital of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

Yang Dian noticed that the Cultivators in the new Capital were not in very good spirits.

It made sense, of course.

The Immortal Capital had crashed, the Heavenly Emperor had disappeared, and three other worlds were eyeing them covetously from outside the realm.

With a formidable enemy at hand but no power to resist, how could the Cultivators of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty be in good spirits during this life-and-death crisis?

Strolling through the streets of the new Capital, listening to the whispers from both sides of the street, and looking at the intelligence information retrieved by Zero, Yang Dian gained a corresponding understanding of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's current situation.

With the Heavenly Emperor and Great Yu Empress gone, the Great Yu Crown Prince was now in power.

Ninety percent of the Great Yu Deities had fallen in battle; Yu Tian's father, the Great Yu God Emperor, had died, leaving only the severely wounded God Empress to command the few remaining Great Yu Deities, steadfastly supporting Crown Prince Yu Fei.

Seven out of ten Celestial Officials had perished in the two battles: the Taicang Realm's invasion and the Little Star God's burning of the Immortal Capital, leaving only Celestial Official Yu, Celestial Official of Stars, and Martial Celestial Official alive.

A small number of alien Immortal Marquis who had voluntarily pledged allegiance to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty rebelled. However, the Immortal Dynasty, fearing Taicang, Chongming, and the Little Star God, dared not dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion, leading to continuous warfare on Canglan Star, with countless alien races who had secretly Cultivated rising in revolt.

A large number of other alien Immortal Marquis remained in a wait-and-see state.

According to the intelligence gathered by Zero, if Yu Fei could not promptly deal with the rebellious alien Immortal Marquis, there was a ninety percent chance they would also rebel.

"Tsk, the Great Yu Empress was so promiscuous, could this Yu Fei be an illegitimate child? He really doesn't resemble his father at all."

"If Yu Fei were replaced by Yu Tian, Yu Tian would surely first slaughter the alien races, then directly lead his confidants to counterattack Taichu Star or Chongming Star, or simply escape to other planets."

"Being a bandit king on another planet is better than staying on Canglan Star and waiting for death."

He strolled to the outside of the Heavenly Emperor's temporary palace.

Seeing the guards patrolling outside the Star Palace, whose strength started at the Star-Patrolling Realm, Yang Dian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"The Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's foundation is still strong."

"So many people have died, yet they can still use Star-Patrolling Realm guards for patrols."

"I wonder if these Star-Patrolling Realm guards would be willing to abandon the darkness and embrace the light..."

As his thoughts churned, Yang Dian, like an invisible person, walked into the Heavenly Emperor's temporary palace right under the guards' noses.

Though called a temporary palace, its grandeur was identical to that of the former Immortal Capital's Heavenly Palace.

He slowly and leisurely followed the familiar path to the outside of the Golden Luan Hall.

Coincidentally, a court assembly was being held inside the Golden Luan Hall.

Yu Fei sat on the Golden Luan Throne, diligently mimicking Yu Tian's demeanor, attempting to 'act out' Yu Tian's majesty.

Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient.

His stern expression while sitting on the Golden Luan Throne was somewhat comical.

How to describe it?

It was like a monkey wearing a crown.

He simply lacked Yu Tian's Aura, which made the world revolve around him.

Just as Yang Dian was criticizing Yu Fei, Yu Fei on the imperial throne also spoke:

"My beloved ministers, do speak."

"The Cultivators of the Taichu Realm still harbor ill intentions towards our realm."

"According to information bravely sent back by our spies, the Heavenly Dao Sect will invade our Azurewave again in seven days."

"The envoy dispatched to Chongming Realm sent back word that the Heavenly Saint Sect of Chongming Realm stated that only if our Immortal Dynasty pays tribute and pledges allegiance will they send powerful experts to help us resist the Taicang Cultivators' attack."

"The Star God from beyond the heavens views us as ants and cannot be communicated with."

"My beloved ministers, please tell me, how should our Immortal Dynasty proceed from here?"

"How can we fundamentally resolve the problems our Immortal Dynasty currently faces?"

After a long silence, seeing everyone in the hall bowing their heads without speaking, Yu Fei's impatience grew stronger.

However, before he could erupt, Martial Celestial Official suddenly stepped forward from among the officials and, looking at Yu Fei, said:

"Your Highness, I have a plan."

Seeing Yu Fei's gaze fall upon him, Martial Celestial Official continued:

"The reason Your Highness feels the Immortal Dynasty is currently facing a crisis is because you perceive the crisis as a crisis."

"If we change our approach and don't treat the crisis as a crisis, but instead directly avoid it, then the crisis wouldn't exist, would it?"

Yu Fei's right hand gripped the armrest of the imperial throne, making a cracking sound.

If it weren't for the fact that he truly had no one else he could use right now, he would have crushed Martial Celestial Official to death.

What time was it for him to still be joking around?

Seeing Yu Fei's reaction, Martial Celestial Official realized he hadn't understood his words, so he rephrased:

"The reason Your Highness perceives the Heavenly Dao Sect's attack as a crisis is because you place yourself in the position of the legitimate ruler of the Azurewave Realm."

"To consider oneself legitimate means to fight for the Azurewave Realm and for the lives of its inhabitants."

"But what if we abandon this legitimate position as the master of the Azurewave Realm, and instead view ourselves as a faction, or even a rebellious faction? Would that be better?"

At this point, Martial Celestial Official and Celestial Official of Stars exchanged glances.

"If we take all of the Immortal Dynasty's hundred-thousand-year foundation, and then, within seven days, plunder all the mineral veins on Canglan Star, and then lead the Immortal Dynasty's viable forces to the Taicang Realm to become mountain bandits, specifically attacking their Sects when the main forces of the Taicang Realm's various Sects are absent..."

"Then it won't be us facing a crisis, but the various Sects of the Taicang Realm."

Yang Dian couldn't help but be amazed upon hearing this.

'This Martial Celestial Official is indeed quite ruthless~'

Thinking of the seemingly inadvertent glance between Martial Celestial Official and Celestial Official of Stars, Yang Dian couldn't help but think of more.

'Also, he's coaxing Yu Fei to run away with the Great Yu's hundred-thousand-year secret treasury.'

'Is he genuinely considering Yu Fei's welfare?'

'Or does he have other plans?'

'For example, making Yu Fei voluntarily abandon his position as the Great Yu Crown Prince, thus losing the protection of Luck...'
