144: A divine eye? A blind man? (Twenty-nine)

"It's Big Brother Jun..."

"He is still alive."

You Chen's tense body instantly relaxed, and a wave of immense exhaustion and joy flooded his heart simultaneously.

He could no longer hold on; his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

Tears, mixed with the blood from the corner of his mouth, slid down.

"Won."

"He won."

But he had almost lost the most important person to him.

This lingering fear made his whole body tremble.

The underground space was silent.

The four True God Realm Old Ancestors looked at the dramatic scene before them, their expressions varied.

They looked at the God Lord who had turned to ashes, and then at the youth kneeling on the ground, whose Aura was rapidly receding but who had inherited the national destiny.

Their faces were full of complexity.

"You brat!"

The Old Ancestor who had scolded You Chen earlier finally couldn't help but speak again, his voice filled with fury.

"Do you know what kind of monstrous crime you have committed!"

"Patricide and usurping the throne—this is treasonous and rebellious!"

You Chen slowly raised his head and wiped the blood and tears from his face.

He looked at the righteous and indignant Old Ancestor; there was no longer the grief and indignation from before in his eyes, only a calmness that saw through everything.

"Treasonous?"

He laughed.

"Then what does it count as when he sacrificed the Bloodlines of his own kin just for his own selfish desires?"

"And what does it count as when you all knew of his plan yet chose to stand by and watch?"

"You all..."

You Chen's gaze swept across the four of them.

"Are you even worthy of talking about morality?"

"You!"

The Old Ancestor was choked to the point that his face flushed red, and he pressed his True God Realm Aura toward You Chen.

But another Old Ancestor with the longest beard and hair raised his hand to stop him.

"Enough."

The leading Old Ancestor looked at You Chen, his gaze calm.

The cyan-gold young Dragon of Luck above his head, which had just devoured the black-gold divine Dragon and was growing rapidly, was so dazzling.

The mandate of heaven had changed.

The Great You Divine Dynasty already had a new master.

Regardless of whether they accepted it or not, this was a fact.

"The position of God Lord belongs to the capable."

The leading Old Ancestor spoke slowly, his voice carrying a sense of majesty.

"From this day forth, you are the new God Lord of Great You."

"A country cannot go a single day without a ruler; this matter is decided here and now."

Although the other three Old Ancestors were unwilling, they could only nod in silence.

They knew very well that You Chen had awakened the You Que Divine Body and obtained the complete Venerable Legacy, making his potential limitless.

More importantly, the national destiny had already chosen him.

To pursue the crime of patricide at this time would only cause the already turbulent Great You Divine Dynasty to fall completely into civil strife.

They could not afford it.

"I hope you can lead Great You to regain its glory."

The leading Old Ancestor glanced at You Chen and, taking the other three with him, slowly disappeared from the spot.

They tacitly acknowledged You Chen's position.

But the vigilance in their words was undisguised.

You Chen ignored them.

He stood up and staggered toward the corner that had been swallowed by the blood-colored threads.

It was empty.

"Big Brother Jun, where are you?"

He called out anxiously.

"I'm fine, just exhausted."

Jun Yun's voice rang in his mind again, carrying a hint of "weakness."

"Handle the matters outside first; I will wait for you at the Chen Prince's Mansion."

"Okay!"

You Chen set his mind at ease and turned to look at the survivors, his allies who were still shaken.

His gaze regained the majesty and decisiveness of a ruler.

"Pass on my decree."

"Clean up the altar and give a grand burial to all the sacrificed royal family members."

"Seal the information. Announce to the outside world that the God Lord suffered from Qi Deviation during seclusion and unfortunately passed away, and that I will temporarily assume the position of God Lord."

"All allies who participated in this rebellion will be rewarded according to their merits."

One order after another was issued methodically from his mouth.

The surviving princes and faction representatives looked at the youth who had been on equal footing with them just a short while ago, now radiating imperial majesty, and felt a complex mix of emotions.

They knew that the sky of Great You had truly changed.

The next two years.

The Great You Divine Dynasty underwent a thorough reshuffling of power.

You Chen used thunderous means to purge all the old factions of the God Lord.

Seventh Princess You Ruo, due to her merit in supporting his accession, saw her power surge, faintly becoming the number one imperial daughter.

Other allies also received corresponding rewards and became the most solid foundation under the new God Lord.

As for Jun Yun, the mysterious person in everyone's eyes who "assisted the new ruler, suffered heavy injuries, and had world-shaking merits," he was titled "Guardian Saint Master" by You Chen.

His status was transcendent, second only to the God Lord.

But he refused all rewards and continued to live in that remote Jingxin Hall, seeing no outsiders, with the excuse that "his injuries are too severe and he needs quiet recuperation."

Inside Jingxin Hall.

Jun Yun sat cross-legged, golden light flickering in his eyes at this moment.

His Heavenly Desolation Divine Pupil had long since fully recovered.

At this moment in his eyes, the whole world presented a different appearance.

He could see the cyan-gold Dragon of Luck belonging to You Chen above the palace, growing sturdily.

He could also see an ominous black Qi quietly spreading at the border of the Divine Dynasty.

"Two years."

Jun Yun muttered to himself.

Over these two years, he had been consolidating the Youque Power intercepted from the sacrificial formation while digesting his surging cultivation.

Heavenly Spirit Realm Middle Stage.

His sword Aura was more refined, and his Pill Ancestor Realm attainment had reached the level of an ordinary master.

The You Que Divine Body also allowed him to comprehend his first Divine Ability, "Youque Swallows the Heavens."

With the various wonders of the Heavenly Desolation Divine Pupil, he was confident that even against a powerhouse of the Three Origins Realm, he would not be afraid at all.

Fighting across a major Realm.

This invincible confidence was slowly taking root and sprouting in his heart.

The reason he kept pretending to be "blind" was to hide his true capabilities.

To let You Chen stand at the front to attract all the attention, while he, in the background, could lay out plans more conveniently.

This tool was becoming easier and easier to use.

God Lord Hall.

You Chen was reviewing memorials.

Two years had passed, and he had long shed the naivety of youth; his brows revealed the calmness and majesty of an emperor.

His cultivation, after fully absorbing the Venerable Qing Luan's Legacy, had firmly stopped at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm Early Stage.

"God Lord."

A general hurried into the hall and knelt on one knee.

"Urgent report from the border! The army of the Great Jun Divine Dynasty has once again harassed our border and seized three of our spiritual ore veins!"

"Outrageous!"

You Chen slammed his palm on the dragon desk, anger appearing on his face.

Over these two years, seeing that Great You had just experienced civil strife, the Great Jun Divine Dynasty had been constantly making small moves at the border, encroaching on resources and nibbling away at territory.

It was simply too bullying.

"What does the Saint Master say?"

You Chen suppressed his anger and asked.

In his heart, Jun Yun's opinion was more important than anyone else's.

"Lord Saint Master says that the Great Jun Divine Dynasty is testing our bottom line."

The general replied respectfully.

"He says that blind concession will only encourage their arrogance."

"It is time to make them pay the price."

A flash of sternness crossed You Chen's eyes.

He remembered the various injustices Big Brother Jun had suffered in the Great Jun Divine Dynasty.

Anger ignited in his heart; he wanted to seek justice for Jun Yun.

"Pass my order!"

You Chen stood up abruptly, and an Aura burst forth from his body.

"Three days from now, convene an imperial conference!"

"I shall lead the army personally to crusade against Great Jun!"

His voice spread throughout the entire imperial palace.

The Great You Divine Dynasty, which had been silent for two years, this massive war machine, was finally about to start up again.

A war that would determine the fate of the two great Divine Dynasties was about to begin.

Jingxin Hall.

Jun Yun's gaze looked toward the direction of the Great Jun Divine Dynasty.

The national destiny there was in a precarious state.

"It looks... truly delicious..."
