The Throne's Assessment, Radiance and Glory!

"The Divine Seal Throne Assessment."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone present was shaken.

That was right—the throne assessment was the true priority.

Han Zhige's face was filled with satisfaction, as though his excitement and passion came from the depths of his heart.

He looked seriously toward Long Xingyu, his eyes flashing with fervor.

Everyone nodded solemnly as well, seeming to believe that this matter outweighed everything else.

That was right.

Although Long Xingyu's return was certainly cause for excitement, obtaining a Divine Seal Throne concerned the future of the entire Knight Temple—and even all humanity.

After all, one more Divine Seal Knight meant one more source of hope for humanity!

Naturally, the assessment had to begin as soon as possible.

Unlike the others, however, Long Haochen, recalling Long Xingyu's terrifying Slaughter Throne, looked earnestly toward Long Xingyu and Han Zhige.

"Dad, Uncle Zhige, can I come along and watch your throne assessment?"

Han Zhige froze at Long Haochen's words.

He had intended to politely refuse.

But after some thought, Long Xingyu nodded. "You want to observe the Divine Seal Throne Assessment?"

"Of course. That won't be a problem."

Long Haochen was somewhat excited upon hearing this and immediately smiled. "Thank you, Dad."

He knew he should not cause them trouble, but Long Xingyu's words meant that he could keep him safe without being inconvenienced.

Then there was no problem.

"Brother Xingyu." Han Zhige grew somewhat anxious. "The Divine Seal Assessment is extremely difficult and highly dangerous. If we bring Haochen along and the throne's backlash occurs, you will certainly be able to withstand it."

"But if Haochen fails to endure it, it would be a catastrophic disaster for him!"

It was not that Han Zhige thought Long Haochen was not a Holy Knight and therefore unqualified to go. As Long Tianyin's grandson and Long Xingyu's son, he was practically guaranteed to reach the ninth step, perhaps even become a Divine Seal Knight.

How could he possibly be unqualified?

It was simply too dangerous.

"With my strength, the throne's backlash will certainly not affect me. And with me here, its backlash will not be able to harm Haochen!" Long Xingyu declared confidently.

How could mere throne backlash possibly affect him?

Of course, Long Xingyu was not bringing Long Haochen along on a whim. He had given it careful thought. Long Haochen would obtain the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne in the future. If he could observe the thrones in advance and experience the assessments of the other thrones at close range—

—and if that allowed him to break through to the ninth step and master the Eternal Throne much faster in the future, it would be an even greater help toward the grand vision he intended to accomplish for humanity!

If Long Haochen wanted to be of any help in accomplishing all that, he would be unable to do so without reaching the level of a ninth-step Divine Seal Knight!

"Since you say so, Brother Xingyu, then naturally there is no problem." Han Zhige did not press the matter further.

If Long Xingyu was confident, there was no need for him to insist.

Hearing this, Long Xingyu smiled and said nothing more. He led Han Zhige and Long Haochen toward the main hall of the Knight Temple.

The location of the throne assessment was inside.

After watching the three of them leave, Long Tianyin did not follow. Instead, he turned toward Ye Hua and said, "Ye Hua, I will take you to the Dragon Control Pass Military Headquarters. From now on, you must put your talent to use. Once you successfully train more than three Great Knights whose Innate Inner Spiritual Power is below ten, I will override all opposition and appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Control Pass military!"

"And I will greatly promote your cultivation method!"

Ye Hua was somewhat stunned by this, but excitement shone in his eyes. He bowed and said, "I will certainly not disappoint Master's expectations!"

With that, the two of them left as well.

Bai Yue entered Dragon Control Pass. Looking at the place that had been her home ten years ago, a faint smile appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.

It had been a long time since she had returned.

"Xin'er, accompany me for a walk around Dragon Control Pass," Bai Yue said.

"Yes, Mistress." Li Xin nodded and went with her.

The Knight Temple could be said to possess the deepest foundations among the Six Great Temples.

This was not only because of its six thrones.

Dragon Control Pass was also the only one among the six great passes that had existed for over ten thousand years.

That showed just how profound its foundations were.

The six thrones were located in the deepest part of the Knight Temple.

There stood six throne statues, and the thrones themselves resided within them.

Or rather—

"The six throne statues within are all projections of the thrones. Any knight who enters will, within half an hour, receive recognition and attraction from a throne. The first throne drawn to you will be the one you must challenge," Long Xingyu explained as he opened the great doors leading to the deepest part.

Then he looked toward Han Zhige. "Zhige, you have entered this assessment ground before and gained some favor from the Fear and Sorrow Divine Seal Throne. It is also the throne most compatible with you. Do not turn instead to challenge the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne."

Hearing this, Han Zhige nodded seriously. "I understand, Brother Xingyu!"

Long Xingyu nodded and activated the Slaughter Throne within him, channeling the throne's power into the gate.

This gate had been formed from the six great thrones and could only be opened with the power of a throne. That was why Divine Seal Knights were needed here as guardians. With Long Xingyu making a move, the gate naturally opened at once.

Very soon, the three of them entered.

In an instant.

Six majestic throne statues gleamed within.

Long Xingyu's gaze immediately fell upon his own Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne. That absolute throne of punishment, brimming with slaughter and judgment, was the throne Long Xingyu liked most!

However, it had long since been claimed by Long Xingyu, so it no longer held such an overwhelming attraction for him.

Soon, he slowly shifted his gaze to the side.

Just as he had expected, Han Zhige was already standing before the Fear and Sorrow Divine Seal Throne. His eyes were deep and fixed upon it, his expression utterly blank from being completely drawn in.

Clearly, he had already entered the trial of the Fear and Sorrow Divine Seal Throne.

Seeing this, Long Xingyu nodded without saying much.

Then, he shifted his gaze to Long Haochen beside him.

At this moment, Long Haochen's eyes were also somewhat vacant as he looked toward the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne at the very center. Streams of white light slowly rose from the throne statue, facing directly toward Long Haochen.

"I never expected Haochen to be chosen directly by the Eternal Throne." Watching this unfold, Long Xingyu nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of his son. He had not even undergone Sacred Awakening yet, and he had already caught the eye of the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne.

The only thing he lacked was strength.

Long Xingyu thought so.

But then, he looked directly at the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne, his eyes flashing with battle intent and madness.

He truly wanted to challenge the radiance of this Super Divine Artifact.

If one day, his Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne were to rise to the level of a Super Divine Artifact—or even surpass one—and eclipse the brilliance of the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne...

What kind of splendor and glory would that be?
