Li Tianming's position did not allow him to see that opening. The Divine Treasury Heart within, mingled with the aura of top-tier Primordial Chaos Clan powerhouses, truly inspired awe. No one dared raise their heads.
"Thank you, Imperial Father," the Nineteenth Prince said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Blooddrop opened his mouth, and Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao followed suit.
As soon as their words fell, an incomparably weighty, majestic, sacred, lofty voice came from within the Divine Treasury Heart.
"Li Tianming, Lin Xiaoxiao."
It was Emperor Yu, calling their names.
"This humble one is here!"
The two hurriedly responded.
"Tai Yu is a nation, and Primordial Chaos is its foundation. Yet since you were born within Tai Yu's borders, there is naturally no distinction between inner clan and outer clan. Having come to the Primordial Chaos Domain for further study, you shall all receive fair treatment. As my people, you are born equal; only when the nation's blood flows as one can there be a long road ahead," Emperor Yu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao did not dare say much, merely offering deep thanks.
But Li Tianming knew clearly that this sentence was spoken for him to hear—and even more so, for all of Tai Yu to hear, including those magnates and officials... The importance of those words was simply too great!
Equality!
As my people!
This was the highest ruler of Tai Yu defining Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao. It sounded as though there were certain restraints attached, but wasn't this plainly saying, "You are people of Tai Yu"?
What bloodline supremacy, what preserving pure bloodlines—before those words, all of it crumbled at the first blow.
Emperor Yu's attitude was Tai Yu's nation-defending policy!
For a time, the Divine Treasury grounds fell deathly silent.
