God Emperor - Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378: 1378

After bathing, changing, and burning incense while being served by Qin Yutong, Zhang Ruochen finally picked up his brush to write .

The Emperor Ming Nine-Sky Scripture operated in Zhang Ruochen’s body as he wrote .

Each stroke carried unique and strong power of the Saintly Way . The surrounding air trembled .

It was the Crown Prince Edict, and the saint decree that contained all of Zhang Ruochen’s saintly power .

The content of the imperial edict was simple and straightforward . One, it described Zhang Ruochen’s identity as the Crown Prince of the Sacred Central Empire . Two, it called for the officials and old followers of the Sacred Central Empire to gather and pray to the gods at the Peakless Mountain on the seventh of the next month .

Whoosh .

After he finished writing, the silk scroll on the table shone with brilliant saintly light . It illuminated the entire Phoenix Dance Palace .

The Royal Capital was the capital of the Sacred Central Empire . Every Emperor Ming would pray to the gods and heavens there each year .

The ancestor of the Zhang Family was a god, known as Unmovable Emperor Ming .

In addition, there had been more than one Supreme Saint in the Zhang Family’s history .

After being washed endlessly by the power of the prayers and the Unmovable Emperor Ming and various Supreme Saints’ changes to the rules, the Royal Capital had long since evolved . It contained the power of the Qi fate and fortune of the country .

Even now, this power still hadn’t scattered .

Zhang Ruochen had written the edict with the power of the Emperor Ming Nine-Sky Scripture . Naturally, it would resonate with the fortune and fate of the Sacred Central Empire . It produced an unusual phenomenon .

Boom .

A burst of Emperor Qi radiated from the Crown Prince Edict . It flew off of the table and broke through the roof, flying to the clouds .

The silk exploded into dust .

The various words from the Saintly Way lined up and became printed on the sky . They shone with brilliant golden light .

In an instant, the entire Royal Capital turned gold from the reflection . Almost all the cultivators were alarmed . They rushed to the streets and looked up at the sky .

The edict was like stars in the sky .

Deep within the residence of the ancient Cai Family, there was an ox-shaped spiritual mountain . Powerful saintly might traveled out and a shred of Holy Qi scattered out .

It was only a shred of Holy Qi, but it wrapped around the mountain like a large river .

An ancient old woman climbed out of the ground in the mountain . She stood at the center of the huge Holy Qi river . Looking up at the sky, she said in a trembling voice, “The Crown Prince Edict, it really is the Crown Prince’s edict . Eight hundred years ago… Didn’t the Crown Prince die from an assassination?”

Seeing their ancestor come out, the patriarch and Saints of the Cai Family all hurried to the ox-shaped mountain . They all bowed in respect .

“Ancestor,” the patriarch of the Cai Family said . “The Sacred Central Empire has been destroyed . Even if the Crown Prince returns, the empire still can’t be recovered . ”

“Shut up . Are you qualified to comment on the Crown Prince?” the ancestor roared . Rings of sound waves flooded out, hitting the family leader like dozens of heavy fists .

The family leader spat out blood and knelt onto the ground .

The ancestor had once been an elder of the Sacred Central Empire . She had great authority and deep feelings for the empire .

However, after Emperor Ming went missing, huge changes occurred in the imperial court . Killing and conflicts had been endless . The Cai Family ancestor had felt disappointed and voluntarily left the imperial court . Afterward, she stayed hidden and cultivated in isolation .

Afterward, to protect the billions of people in her clan, the Cai Family ancestor was forced to surrender to the First Central Empire . However, she didn’t accept any of the titles from the new empire .

It wasn’t only the Cai Family . The entire Royal Capital seemed to have gone crazy .

“Zhang Ruochen, Crown Prince of the Sacred Central Empire from 800 years ago, is actually still alive . He even issued an edict to collect the old officials . ”

“Zhang Ruochen? That name…is actually the same as that Time and Space Descendant . It can’t be that coincidental, right?”

“Seventh of the next month, praying to the gods and souls at the Peakless Mountain . Why is he going to the Demonic Sect’s headquarters instead of the Royal Capital?”

“The Peakless Mountain was also part of the Sacred Central Empire 800 years ago . Why can’t he go there to pray?”

“The seventh is the Demonic Sect Saintess and Qiu Yu’s wedding… Oh gods, the Crown Prince must be Zhang Ruochen . ”

…

Even the stupidest cultivators now realized that the Crown Prince of the Sacred Central Empire and the Time and Space Descendant were the same person .

This news spread with the fastest speed throughout the First Central Empire .

The leaders of the various human forces were all shocked by this news .

The Saint Lady had long since guessed Zhang Ruochen’s identity, but she was still moved when she received this news .

A moment later, the Saint Lady finally recovered . “Zhang Ruochen,” she murmured to herself . “What are you doing? Are you really going to overturn the First Central Empire just for a woman?”

In the Wan Family, Wan Zhaoyi and Martial Saint Canglan received the news at the same time . They exchanged glances and could see the shock in one another’s eyes .

Wan Zhaoyi’s eyes moved and then smiled . “I finally understand the rivalry between the Empress and Zhang Ruochen . I see, I see…”

Martial Saint Canglan sighed . “One year ago, I even begged the Empress to forgive Zhang Ruochen . Thinking back, it’s so laughable . How could their conflict be resolved like that?”

In the eastern region, the Taishang Elder of the Murong Family walked out of an ancient mansion . He gazed toward the central region with Murong Yue .

Murong Yue’s eyes were filled with joy . “Ancestor, His Highness finally revealed his identity . Should we act now?”

The Taishang Elder of the Murong Family was called Murong Yefeng . Eight hundred years ago, he was the top talent of the Murong Family . He had been both Zhang Ruochen’s only friend and his page boy . He often studied with Zhang Ruochen, Kong Lanyou, and Chi Yao .

Because Murong Yefeng was the youngest, Zhang Ruochen, Kong Lanyou, and Chi Yao called him “Little Yezi . ”

Murong Yefeng had lived for 800 years, but he didn’t seem old . He only looked to be around 30 years old . A nostalgic and bitter smile appeared in his ancient eyes . “Your Highness, since you chose to go back to being the Crown Prince, I will continue to serve you . ”

In Tiantai State of the central region, the Shangguan Clan and Blood God Sect were also shocked too .

The Saints of the Blood God Sect obviously knew that Zhang Ruochen was their sect leader . How could they not be shocked by this great event?

That day, two Saint Elders immediately held an Elder Council to discuss this .

Because of the Crown Prince Edict, the Shangguan Clan was also pushed into the spotlight .

Saint King Que, the ancestor of the Shangguan Clan, was the Crown Prince Master of the Sacred Central Empire .

The Crown Prince Master was the Crown Prince’s teacher .

Since the Crown Prince had issued the Crown Prince edict, what should his teacher do?

Western region, Brahma Way .

After Sikong One and Two received this news, they were ecstatic . They hurried toward one of the ancient temples .

While running, Sikong One said, “Master, Senior Uncle is doing something big this time . He’s practically going to crush the Demonic Sect . We must join in on the fun . ”

“The Demonic Sect is filled with strong cultivators . The Fire Race has an even greater heritage,” Sikong Two said . “Senior Uncle is fighting a hard battle . Master, we can’t just watch . ”

Master Yintuoluo sat on a cushion like a clay statue . He didn’t budge .

Sikong One had a shady aura . Arms bare and face red, he said, “Our grandmaster was killed by the Empress . We have a great rivalry with her . Master, why don’t we rebel with Senior Uncle?”

“Shut up,” Master Yintuoluo roared . “The Empress has already become a god . Who dares to rebel?”

“The Empress has already left Kunlun’s Field,” Sikong One mumbled . “She might’ve gone to the divine world, and it’s possible she won’t even return again . ”

After reaching Yintuoluo’s state, one would be clear on how terrifying a god’s power was . Even if Empress Chi Yao had left Kunlun’s Field, her divine power remaining here could still crush everyone .

Sikong Two was a bit calmer . “Senior Uncle is always careful . He knows the Empress has become a god but still dared to publicize his identity . This can only mean that he has a hidden card that can protect everyone . ”

“Has the Universe World been born?” Sikong One cried out . “The Divine Sky-connecting Tree is in the Universe World . The cultivation environment is much stronger than Kunlun’s Field . If we go there to cultivate, we won’t need to hide around anymore . ”

Sikong One and Two had both helped Zhang Ruochen capture the World Spirit in the Blue Dragon Void World . They’d once heard Zhang Ruochen say that he wanted the World Spirit to evolve the scroll world into the Universe World .

In an upper void world outside the region, the Death Zen Elder also received Zhang Ruochen’s communication rune .

The Death Zen Elder chuckled . “It’s really hard to repay Zhang Ruochen . ”

Buddha Xinshu stood below . He caught the communication rune, read the content, and was quiet for a while . “The Demonic Sect and Fire Tribe are such great forces . They’re second only to the imperial court . Master, it’s best not to get involved . ”

“If I don’t repay Zhang Ruochen, my saint heart will have a flaw . I’ll never be able to make that last step . ” The Death Zen Elder was helpless as well .

Actually, even if Zhang Ruochen didn’t send a communication rune to the Death Zen Elder, he would’ve gone to find Zhang Ruochen to repay him anyway .

“But you’ve already vowed never to set foot in the Kunlun’s Field again,” Buddha Xinshu said .

“My true body can’t enter Kunlun’s Field, but I can use a clone . The clone can carry the divine corpse in . Zhang Ruochen should be satisfied with the combat ability of the divine corpse . If I can resolve this matter earlier, I can truly enter the Great Way sooner . ”

The Death Zen Elder chuckled again . He put down the communication rune and his body shone with Buddhist light . Then a clone walked out of his body .

Even though it was a clone, it felt like it was made of flesh and bone . It was extremely divine and shone with Buddhist light all over . It was no different from his true body .
