Human Emperor Trait, Heart of the People

As the sacrificial text was read aloud, Ye Chen's dignified voice rolled like thunder into everyone's ears and lingered for a long time.

When he had finished reading, Ye Chen held the Human King Seal and pressed it against the sacrificial text in his hand.

The instant the Human King Seal touched the sacrificial text, an unexpected change occurred.

"Roar!!"

The sacrificial text and the Human King Seal immediately floated into the air. Then a dragon's roar pierced the heavens, tore through the clouds and dawn, and resounded throughout Chang'an City.

At the same time, the mythical beasts originally carved into the obsidian altar began to appear in the air as phantom forms.

In that instant, winds and clouds churned above the altar, and endless thunder gathered, as if a world-ending calamity were about to descend.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but stare in astonishment. What was happening really wasn't something he had caused.

"System, what's going on? Did I buy so many visions that you're throwing in a bonus?"

"Host, as the inheritance system of the Yanhuang Civilization, the system will trigger an underlying mechanism when your sacrifice involves the two ancestors of the Yanhuang Civilization. It will open a connection channel to the Mother System.

"Of course, whether the two ancestors notice you is beyond the system's control. However, if they do take notice of you, they will grant you some blessings."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth fell open. He was so shocked he could hardly put it into words. He hadn't expected that sacrificing to the Yanhuang Two Emperors would really reach them.

Who the hell could have expected that? Ever since he'd bound himself to the Yanhuang Civilization No. 008 Inheritance System, he'd assumed some big shot had casually made these systems.

Who could have imagined that this big shot would be those two ancestors of the Yanhuang people?

"System, given what's happening now, does that mean the two ancestors of the Yanhuang Civilization have noticed me?!"

"Unable to confirm. Host, don't be nervous. Simply wait calmly."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded inwardly and looked up at the strange phenomena in the sky as he waited for the outcome.

He was also a little excited. These were the ancestors of countless descendants of the Yanhuang people. No descendant of the Yanhuang people could stay calm in this situation.

Below the altar, the crowd gazed at the strange phenomena in the sky and at Ye Chen atop the altar. Their reverence for him grew even stronger.

Though they had no idea what was happening, they couldn't be bothered to think about it. Whatever it was, it only served to show how great the Emperor was.

Ye Chen had no time to concern himself with what the people below the altar were thinking. He could only wait anxiously for an answer.

Meanwhile,

at the Peak of the Heavens, in the Eternal Heaven Domain,

at the Human Race's stronghold,

the gathering place of countless elite members of the Human Race,

in the Yanhuang Human Race's territory, Xuanyuan's Hill,

Emperor Xuanyuan sensed something and immediately opened his eyes. With a turn of his hand, he brought out a gleaming white orb.

It was the Yanhuang Inheritance Mother System. As he looked at the channel connected to the Mother System, Xuanyuan's gaze crossed endless stretches of time and space, left the Human Race's territory, and descended into the Super God Universe beyond it.

As a fragment of Xuanyuan's gaze fell upon it, the Super God Universe instinctively tried to repel him. Seeing this, Xuanyuan smiled. "This little fellow is quite mischievous."

With that, Xuanyuan smiled and tapped the Dimensional Barrier of the Super God Universe. Then, with a thought, he tore through the universe's barrier and entered it.

Looking at the makeup of this unfamiliar universe, especially the Dark Dimension attached to the outside of its third dimension,

"An artifact of dimensional technology. That's interesting. Let me see what exactly is going on in this universe."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan moved his hand, instantly drawing endless streams of data from the universe's barrier into his mind.

"Devouring the foundations of countless civilizations to nourish your own, then forcibly breaking through the universe's barrier. Heh, what a Void Civilization.

"But if a civilization hasn't reached Level Six and can't withstand the energy beyond the universe, forcibly breaking through the universe's barrier is just asking for death."

Xuanyuan shook his head, not bothering to concern himself with that. Then, with a thought, he instantly arrived above Blue Star.

Looking at the countless common people on Blue Star and Ye Chen waiting below, Xuanyuan learned Ye Chen's entire past in an instant.

The next moment, that fragment of his gaze scattered, turning into a point of spiritual light that entered Blue Star.

Blue Star.

"Host, Emperor Xuanyuan's blessing is here."

As the system spoke with excitement, Ye Chen heard a dragon's roar.

"Roar!!"

The dragon's roar came again. Then a golden dragon, a full ten thousand zhang long, appeared in the sea of thunder and wound through the air.

"Whoosh—"

Seeing this, everyone in and around Chang'an City fell to their knees.

At that moment, even Dukao and the others had no choice but to kneel. The instant the giant dragon appeared, instinct compelled them to bow down.

Feeling the submission in their bodies and souls left Dukao and the others helpless. Even if they wanted to deny it now, they could no longer pretend these phenomena were fake.

After circling once, the ten-thousand-zhang dragon instantly split into two streams of light and entered Ye Chen and the jade seal before him.

Destiny System Module detected. System loading. Please wait...

Destiny System Module loaded. Beginning to transform the host's Human King Body and add the Human Emperor Trait and Heart of the People...

As the system's voice rang in his ears, Ye Chen felt the sensation of his last breakthrough wash over him again. Beyond Blue Star, the sea of stars surged, and endless Stellar Energy gathered.

At the same time, all the subjects of the Yanhuang Empire on Blue Star felt a stirring in their hearts and dropped to their knees.

"Long live the Emperor! Long, long live the Emperor!"

The voices of countless common people rang out in unison, shaking the Nine Heavens. Tiny white points of light gathered around them, becoming the most brilliant stars in the world before shooting into the sky and converging on Chang'an City.

Human Emperor Trait, Heart of the People.

Those who possessed this trait could draw upon a portion of the power of the countless common people within their empire's territory to fight their enemies.

The more their people supported them, the more power they could draw upon.

Conversely, if their people didn't support them, they wouldn't be able to draw on any power at all—and would instead suffer a backlash.

It could be said that the Human Emperor Trait took the saying "The waters that bear the boat can also capsize it" to its utmost extreme.

After understanding this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh wryly. His ancestor Xuanyuan really did take care of him.

This double-edged ability was practically forcing him to be a good emperor.

But he had never planned to bring ruin upon his own empire. After all, he had created the Yanhuang Empire with his own hands and raised it like his own child.

As its father, how could he not cherish his own child?

Soon, the transformation of his Human King Body was complete. He could clearly sense that he was now bound to the entire Yanhuang Empire: when it prospered, he prospered; when it suffered, he suffered.

As for how to undo the binding, that was very simple. He only had to go to the Human Race's stronghold in the Eternal Heaven Domain and find his ancestor Xuanyuan.

Of course, he first had to break free of the Super God Universe's constraints. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to leave his home universe, let alone cross endless stretches of time and space to reach the Peak of the Heavens.
