225: Chapter 225 I'm so sleepy too

"Report to the Family immediately! The Great Ming Royal Family will perish today! That Yuan Chen's strength is unfathomable, and he is absolutely invincible to human effort! From this moment on, sever all ties with the Great Ming Royal Family; do not let the fire burn you!"

"The Heaven of the Eastern Wasteland is changing! The greatest sky is about to collapse! The landscape of the Eastern Wasteland is about to be rewritten. Tell the Elders in the clan to prepare quickly, choose a new master to serve, and absolutely do not stand on the wrong side!"

"My goodness, Yuan Chen is going to be invincible. Suppressing an entire country alone, how terrifying!"

Around the Imperial Palace, those spies from various factions who originally held the mindset of watching a show had long since lost any sense of ease.

Their expressions were grave, their fingers tapping rapidly on their Jade Slips, and urgent secret messages turned into streams of light, shooting madly in all directions.

Yuan Chen, who was at the center of the storm, did not care about the wretched escape of the people from Shuibo.

He stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile playing on the corners of his lips.

Run? With the world so vast, where could they possibly escape to find a home?

If the people from Shuibo gathered together, it would save him the trouble of searching for them one by one.

If they scattered like stars in the sky, that mob of over a hundred people, without the support of a great formation, would be nothing more than ants that could be pinched at will, easily captured by sending a few men.

As for Ye Lingling's side, Yuan Chen did not even lift an eyelid.

He had long prepared mountains of defensive Magic Treasure for every wife and child at home. Those were heavy treasures that could even withstand a Peak Loose Immortal for a long time. With those things protecting them, with just the men Crown Prince Zhao Heng had, he could never hope to harm them in the slightest.

Yuan Chen slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the Fortune Spirit beside him.

Under his patient persuasion and the deterrence of absolute strength, this Incarnation of the Great Ming's national fortune finally defected completely.

Yuan Chen's thoughts stirred, and he calmly instructed the Fortune Spirit: "Since you have submitted to me, announce it to the world immediately. The Great Ming's fortune is exhausted, Emperor Zhao Dou is unworthy of his position, and he is ordered to abdicate immediately."

He sensed that only when the Fortune Spirit personally acknowledged it would he truly be considered to have taken over.

The Fortune Spirit shuddered, then nodded helplessly.

She took a deep breath, and a grand and majestic voice resounded in every corner of the entire Great Ming territory in the Eastern Wasteland:

"By the mandate of Heaven and the fortune of the nation, I announce: Emperor Zhao Dou of the Daming Dynasty is shallow in talent and thin in virtue, causing the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of the people, and the national destiny has declined.

Now, in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, he abdicates and yields to the worthy, immediately ceding the throne to Yuan Chen. From this moment on, the territory of the Great Ming belongs entirely to Yuan Chen, and all people must submit; there must be no error!"

As soon as the words fell, the wind and clouds changed abruptly above the firmament.

The invisible Dragon Qi that had originally shrouded the Imperial City instantly dissipated, replaced by a vast pressure from above the Nine Heavens, as if the world itself had changed masters at this moment.

"No——!!"

A shrill and extremely miserable scream broke the silence.

Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Patriarch Zhao Kuo and the others, who had been aggressive and preparing to besiege Ye Lingling again, suddenly began to tremble violently.

They discovered with horror that the vast, sea-like Spiritual Qi within their bodies was actually flowing away crazily at this moment, like water from a breached dam!

"My cultivation! My cultivation!!" Patriarch Zhao Kuo was full of horror. His originally upright body instantly hunched over, and his black hair turned gray and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was not just him; all the experts of the Great Ming Royal Family who relied on the national fortune to improve their strength were now facing a catastrophe.

Their power relied on the support of the national fortune. Now that the Fortune Spirit had changed masters and the national fortune had changed flags, the power they had borrowed would naturally suffer a backlash.

"Ah! No! I don't want to die!"

"My Realm! It dropped one tribulation! Two tribulations! It's still dropping!!"

Screams rose and fell one after another.

In just a few breaths, this group of originally high and mighty members of the Great Ming Royal Family were like wild dogs with their spines removed. Each one had a withered Aura, their cultivation plummeted, and many even fell directly from mid-air, crashing heavily into the ruins, never to move again.

"Pfft~"

The Fortune Spirit also spat out a mouthful of transparent mist.

Yuan Chen stood to the side, and the scent rushed into his nose.

He couldn't help but be invigorated. Fragrant!

The mist slowly sank, then drifted to various places. Where it was dense, the Spiritual Qi rolled, refreshing the heart and spleen, and even seeped into the broken Spiritual Artifacts, beginning to repair them automatically.

The Fortune Spirit's Aura was weak, and she looked at Yuan Chen with lifeless eyes, her eyelids fluttering: "So sleepy, I feel like I'm going to fall into a deep sleep."

Since there was nothing left for the Fortune Spirit to do, Yuan Chen waved his hand: "Go, go, have a good rest. At most a month, when my people come to fill the gap in the Dynasty's lost strength, you will recover."

"Mm!"

The Fortune Spirit didn't even have the strength to speak, yawning and instantly vanishing between heaven and earth.

A Royal Family retainer on the side:

"Oh my, I am also very sleepy. I will return to my own Sect to sleep for a while."
