Although he was unwilling, the Chu Emperor was helpless.

Previously, the Divine Dynasty True Lord had stopped him from killing Chen Changqing outside the Imperial City of the Maple Leaf Dynasty.

It is explicitly stated that Chen Changqing is the Imperial Son-in-law of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty.

If he were to forcibly take action against Chen Changqing here, it would only bring disaster upon the Great Chu Dynasty, and could even lead to its annihilation.

Chen Changqing.

"I will remember this grudge, and I will not let it go so easily!"

The Chu Emperor roared inwardly.

Naturally, they wouldn't give up so easily.

Seeing Empress Liuye put away the Nine Provinces Supreme Order, the Human King's gaze sharpened and fell on Liu Ruyan.

"Liu Ruyan."

"In this Hundred Dynasties War, you represent the Maple Leaf Dynasty."

"You will have one opportunity to undergo baptism at the Divine Dynasty's Dragon Transformation Pool."

The attendant announced it aloud.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately bowed and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you Human King!"

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed.

This is the chance to enter the Divine Dynasty's Dragon Transformation Pool for baptism, something countless people dream of.

Not only can it transform the physical body, but it can also improve one's cultivation level.

She has now entered the Purple Mansion Realm.

Perhaps with the help of this baptism, he can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Human King paid no attention to this and glanced at the other emperors present.

At the same time, the attendant read aloud:

"Each Imperial Dynasty that makes it into the top ten of this Hundred Dynasties War will be rewarded with a Quasi-Immortal Artifact."

"Of the top five, one may be chosen to come to our Divine Dynasty for baptism in the near future."

Upon hearing the imperial decree, Various Great Dynasties paid their respects and expressed their gratitude.

Immediately afterwards, the Human King turned his gaze to Chen Changqing.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath in anticipation.

I knew the main event was about to begin.

After all, everyone knows that Maple Leaf Dynasty's victory in the Hundred Dynasties War was entirely due to Chen Changqing.

Without Chen Changqing's help, Liu Ruyan's abilities would have been insufficient to even protect herself in the competition, let alone achieve any ranking.

Seeing that the Human King was looking at Chen Changqing, the attendant prepared to make the announcement.

However, just as he opened his mouth, he was suddenly interrupted by the Human King waving his hand.

Then, the Human King slowly rose from his dragon throne, strode down the Long Xing steps, and looked Jade Steps at Chen Changqing, saying:

"Although the Maple Leaf Dynasty won first place in the Hundred Dynasties War this time, everyone knows that the real credit goes to you."

"You are not a member of the Imperial Dynasty, but my promise still stands."

At this point, the Human King paused slightly, then added with a solemn expression:

"Chen Changqing, would you be willing to become the Imperial Son-in-law of my Divine Dynasty?"

Upon hearing what the Human King said, all the Imperial Dynasty in the hall revealed envious looks.

Although this Imperial Son-in-law didn't have any real power in the Divine Dynasty.

But the prestige this title represents is undeniable.

You must know that the son-in-law of the Divine Dynasty is the son-in-law of the Human King, a position of unparalleled prestige.

Within the entire jurisdiction of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty, they could roam freely.

"Damn it!"

"Such a great fortuitous opportunity, and it actually fell to this outsider."

"The Prince Consort of the Divine Dynasty!"

"My son had a chance, but alas... that damned Chen Changqing!"

"..."

Many Imperial Dynasty secretly pondered this.

Some felt envy and jealousy, while others felt resentment and bitterness...

After hearing the Human King's question, Empress Liuye subconsciously glanced at Chen Changqing.

She knew all about her daughter Liu Ruyan's feelings for Chen Changqing.

They naturally wanted to see what choice Chen Changqing would make.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan felt a pang of disappointment.

She knew that once Chen Changqing accepted, she would have no more chances.

Although she is now the heir to the Maple Leaf Dynasty, she is still a level below the Empress of the Divine Dynasty.

Liu Ye had previously told her that opportunities need to be seized by oneself.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan mustered up her courage and went to find Chen Changqing to express her feelings for him.

However, Chen Changqing did not make any statement at the time.

Now, faced with the temptation of becoming the son-in-law of the Divine Dynasty, Liu Ruyan doesn't know what choice Chen Changqing will make.

After all, the temptation is simply too great.

Once you become the consort of the Divine Dynasty, you'll have status, position, and the support of the Divine Dynasty's immense power, enjoying endless Cultivation Resources.

In an instant, all eyes in the hall were fixed on Chen Changqing.

In everyone's eyes, Chen Changqing had no reason to refuse; anyone would gladly accept such a good deal!

However, to everyone's surprise...

When the Human King asked, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Human King."

"However, I disagree."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone stared at Chen Changqing in disbelief.

"This?"

"I... I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"This kid actually dared to refuse the Human King in front of so many people?"

"The imperial son-in-law of the Divine Dynasty! He actually disagrees?"

"They really don't know what's good for them!"

"So what if you're number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking? Why are you so arrogant?"

"The imperial son-in-law of our Divine Dynasty holds such a prestigious position, yet he... he actually refuses?"

"..."

Many Imperial Dynasty secretly gasped, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Chen Changqing.

I originally thought Chen Changqing would accept it readily.

But to everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing's reply was a refusal.

This caught everyone off guard.

When the Chu Emperor saw that Chen Changqing had refused the Human King, he was overjoyed.

"Ha ha!"

"That kid really doesn't know what's good for him!"

"To dare refuse even the Human King is simply courting death."

The Chu Emperor slandered secretly.

I would certainly like to see this scene.

If Chen Changqing angers the Human King, then he won't need to lift a finger; someone else will deal with him.

When Liu Ruyan saw that Chen Changqing refused to become the son-in-law of the Divine Dynasty, she was both surprised and delighted, but soon a look of worry appeared on her face.

The Human King's authority is inviolable; Chen Changqing's direct refusal would likely bring him great trouble.

"Um?"

Empress Liuye Ye frowned slightly upon hearing this, also shocked by Chen Changqing's reply.

What's wrong with this kid?

"They refused so decisively."

"Doesn't he know this is someone else's territory?"

"Could it be... that Ruyan went to see him before, and there's something between them...?"

Thinking of this, Liu Ye came back to her senses.

Naturally, she hoped that Chen Changqing could be with her daughter, Liu Ruyan.

However, by openly refusing the Human King and declining to become the son-in-law of the Divine Dynasty, he might incur the Human King's wrath.

Just when everyone thought the Human King would be furious, something unexpected happened.

However, upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, the Human King not only did not get angry, but instead burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Human King said "good" three times in a row, staring straight at Chen Changqing with an expression of admiration:

"You truly live up to your reputation as Chen Yuan's disciple!"
