Emperor Heaven Empress Earth, Bless My Yanhuang

Chang'an City, before the altar.

Under the gaze of all, Ye Chen and his group slowly walked toward the altar. Wherever they passed, the countless citizens bowed in salute, the solemn atmosphere growing ever thicker.

Arriving before the altar, Ye Chen fixed his gaze upon it.

The mysterious patterns on the altar, under the golden sunlight, formed black-gold ripples across its surface, lending the obsidian altar an air of mystery and nobility.

As the ritual official began the proclamation, Ye Chen stepped onto the altar's staircase. Bathed in golden sunlight, his figure appeared especially towering.

His upright posture, resolute gaze, handsome features, and eyes as deep as the starry sky seemed capable of seeing through all things.

In that moment, Ye Chen was the center of the entire world. Every move he made tugged at the heartstrings of countless people.

As Ye Chen's foot landed on the altar, streaks of purple qi suddenly appeared in the sky. Boundless and vast, they blotted out the sun and covered the heavens, as if they would envelop the entire world.

Purple qi came from the east for thirty thousand li. It symbolized auspiciousness and nobility. Only those with great merit between heaven and earth could summon such an omen of purple qi from the east.

The surging purple qi streamed in from the east, transforming into myriad auspicious signs that descended and gathered around Ye Chen. These auspicious energies bloomed like lotus flowers, releasing endless blessings.

At the same time, ten thousand beams of golden light poured down from the nine heavens. Immortal radiance cascaded like a waterfall, enveloping everyone around the altar. They bathed in the immortal light, feeling boundless warmth.

Seeing the omen he had bought from the system begin to manifest, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he steadily ascended.

The next moment, a new omen appeared. Above Chang'an City, a figure of the Human Emperor materialized. He wore an Emperor's Crown and a Starry Emperor Robe, with myriad realms revolving around him. His deep eyes seemed to contain a sea of stars, perceiving all things in the world.

As the Human Emperor's omen appeared, everyone felt a pressure that reached into the depths of their souls. They knelt and prostrated themselves, praying devoutly to the Human Emperor in the nine heavens.

At this moment, everyone was stunned by the series of omens.

Especially those who had just joined the Yanhuang Empire. They stared wide-eyed and speechless. At the same time, any lingering resistance in their hearts toward the Yanhuang Empire vanished completely.

Because at this moment, Ye Chen was the Human Emperor descended to the mortal world, embodying the will of heaven. To reject Ye Chen was to go against heaven itself.

Otherwise, how could so many omens appear at this very time?

It had to be said that such omens were a dimensional blow to the ancient populace. And precisely because Ye Chen knew how much the ancient people valued such signs—the fastest way to win their hearts—he had spent a great price to buy these omens from the system.

The people's reactions now proved that the omens were worth the cost. There was no helping it—this was what they responded to.

Among the crowd, Dukao watched all this and couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. "Shameless beyond compare. This guy really has no shame, fabricating these omens to fool people."

Having lived in Huaxia for so many years, Dukao naturally understood Huaxia culture.

In ancient times, Laozi passed through Hangu Pass, and purple qi came from the east for thirty thousand li. But that was a sage.

Dukao really couldn't believe that Ye Chen would be so brazen as to compare himself to a sage.

At this, he just wanted to curse. Though he had no idea how Ye Chen had pulled off these omens, he absolutely refused to believe they were some natural phenomenon blessing Ye Chen.

Not far away, Lian Feng collected some of the "immortal light" falling from the sky and used an instrument to analyze it.

The results came out quickly. When she saw them, Lian Feng's eyes narrowed. "Only 66% of the matter is identifiable. The rest is all unknown. How is this possible?!"

She had just analyzed the matter in the "immortal light" falling from the sky and cross-referenced it with Denuo Three's database. To her surprise, she got a massive amount of "unknown" prompts.

In other words, much of the matter composing this "immortal light" did not exist in the known universe.

Thinking this over, Lian Feng pushed through the fervent crowd and found Dukao. "Commander, there's something off about these omens in the sky. I just collected some material from them and found that they contain large amounts of active substances that can enhance lifespan and physique.

And many of these active substances don't exist in the known universe..."

Hearing this, Dukao frowned slightly. "Large amounts of matter not found in the known universe? Could these omens actually be real? But how is that possible?!"

Seeing Dukao's reaction, Lian Feng smiled. "Commander, the material data collected by Denuo Three isn't comprehensive. And the known universe is vast—it's normal for us to encounter substances we've never seen before..."

At Lian Feng's words, Dukao said nothing, only shook his head slightly. Clearly, her argument didn't hold water.

After all, they had been on Blue Star for a long time. Over the years, they had thoroughly tested the local material resources. Even if there were omissions, they couldn't be this many.

"Commander, do you think these omens might be something left behind by the Pangu Civilization..."

Hearing this, Dukao fell into deep thought. He didn't know much about the Pangu Civilization either. But according to Gilan, the principal of Super God Academy, Blue Star might have some connection to the Pangu Civilization.

The Pangu Civilization was a vast civilization that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. The traces it left behind all testify to its immense power.

According to speculation, hundreds of millions of years ago, the Pangu Civilization might have already reached the final form of a civilization. Yet, for unknown reasons, it suddenly vanished.

And Karl's theory of ultimate fear was born precisely because of the Pangu Civilization.

While Dukao and Lian Feng were speculating about the source of the omens, Ye Chen had already stepped onto the summit of the altar.

On the altar, everything needed for the sacrifice had been prepared. There was a Tripod Cauldron, a stone table bearing the Three Sacrifices and Five Animals, along with wine, a Jue Cup, a prayer text, and other items.

Standing atop the altar, Ye Chen looked down at the endless sea of people below. An aura of looking down upon all living beings naturally emanated from him.

Looking at these people, scenes from his arrival in this world flashed rapidly through Ye Chen's mind.

From being struck by the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin, to opening his eyes and finding himself alone in the Super God Universe, from picking up Angel Zhi to being caught stealing a kiss, to starting with a sword and a Beginner's Gift Pack from the system—that was how he began his path to building a civilization.

From the initial founding of a nation to the present day, when the world was unified and billions of subjects bowed their heads, it had taken 250 years.

250 years had transformed him from an ordinary young man with a bit of a lecherous streak into a generation's Human King, wielding the power of life and death over countless people.

The memories flashed through his mind. Ye Chen took a deep breath, then flipped his hand and produced a dark jade seal. The seal was called the Human King Seal.

And once he unifies the universe in the future, the Human King Seal could be renamed the Human Emperor Seal.

Opening the prepared sacrificial text on the altar, Ye Chen began to chant.

"Imperial We, born in a later age, are descendants of Emperors Yan and Huang, and have established a nation called Yanhuang.

The Yanhuang Empire arose across the ocean, and after two hundred and fifty years of struggle, swept the world clean, bringing peace to all under heaven.

Emperor Heaven Empress Earth, bless our Yanhuang, eternal peace and prosperity!

Holy Spirit, if you are not blind, look upon this and accept it.

Deign to partake!"
