The Divine Capital Changluo, Floating Heavenly Palace.
Deep within the Heavenly Palace, amidst a vast Star Sea.
Yes, Little Qingyu has already left the Divine Capital.
The Ninth Ancestor pondered for a moment, then suddenly flicked his finger, and a beam of starlight pierced through the void and disappeared.
A moment later;
Boom!
A tremor resounded in the space, and a beam of starlight condensed into a portal.
An elderly man with a three-inch-long beard, dressed in a magnificent purple robe, and with a slightly dark complexion, stepped out of the Starlight Gate and respectfully bowed to the Ninth Ancestor.
Paying respects to my great-uncle.
Um.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly and said:
Little Seventeen, do you know why I summoned you here today?
The old man in purple robes lowered his head and said respectfully:
My great-nephew is dull-witted, and I humbly request my great-uncle to enlighten me.
The Ninth Ancestor smiled slightly and said:
Our Chen family's Chen Clan Dao Son, the Number One Heavenly Prodigy of All Time, has just left the Divine Capital today to travel the world.
Upon hearing this, the old man in purple robes was immediately moved and asked:
Does he have protectors accompanying him?
The Ninth Ancestor shook his head and said:
Not at the moment.
The purple-robed elder immediately realized what was happening, his eyes lighting up as he said;
Does my great-uncle mean for me to be Qingyu's protector?
The Ninth Ancestor nodded and smiled:
good.
Most holy lands will send their disciples to travel the world and broaden their horizons after they reach the Spirit Origin Realm.
Before leaving, teachers and elders would often bestow upon them life-saving treasures to ward off unforeseen circumstances.
For those who are truly valued and are considered direct descendants or true disciples, there will be a protector secretly following them.
These protectors are often powerful elders, or even supreme beings and great powers.
However, generally speaking:
Assigning an elder-level figure to accompany and protect the path is already the highest honor one can bestow.
Not to mention, Chen Qingyu himself possesses many life-saving items, making it difficult for even a powerful being to harm him in the slightest.
However, the Ninth Ancestor still felt it wasn't safe enough, so he summoned a Supreme Elder who was cultivating in seclusion in the Floating Heavenly Palace to personally escort Chen Qingyu.
Little Seventeen.
The Ninth Ancestor smiled and said:
Little Qingyu, are you your own twelfth-generation great-grandson? Are you willing to serve as his protector?
The old man in purple robes immediately knelt down, his face beaming with joy, and repeatedly said:
Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor!
My great-nephew would absolutely be willing!
The Ninth Ancestor laughed heartily and gestured:
Get up.
yes.
After the old man in purple robes stood up, he lowered his head and said softly:
Zhengxing then, Zhengxing unintentionally committed a grave mistake, but thanks to his great-uncle's kindness, he was spared his life.
Our branch of the family has truly failed the Lineage in many ways.
Today, my great-uncle has again appointed me as Qingyu's protector, for which I am truly grateful.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor's smile faded, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly.
That's enough. More than sixty years have passed; the past is the past.
Zhengxing's son is the strongest prodigy in the history of the Chen Clan. His talent and potential are unparalleled throughout the ages!
I've said it before: he may have a chance to make amends for the mistakes his father made back then.
He paused here, a cold glint appearing in his eyes:
When Qingyu reigns and rules the Desolate Continent, those alien races will repay us a hundredfold for what they owed us!
The old man in purple robes took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
Great-Uncle is right!
This Chen Clan has always been kept in our hearts and will never be forgotten!
Um.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly and flicked his sleeve, saying:
Go ahead.
The child has been teleported to Four Directions City, preparing to head south to the Southern Region. You should follow him and protect him.
As he spoke, he added:
Unless it's a matter of life and death, you don't need to show yourself. Let him go his own way and bear the consequences himself.
Of course, if you encounter someone who bullies the weak and has no shame, you don't need to show mercy.
yes.
The old man in purple robes responded, then hesitated for a moment and asked:
If we go to the Spirit Clan Royal Court court
Ignore them.
The Ninth Ancestor's expression turned indifferent, and he said expressionlessly:
That's enough to tell them my stance.
The Blood Exchange Ritual must not be disrupted by anyone. If they dare to cause any trouble, don't blame me for wielding the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Shaking Hammer and going to their door to demand an explanation!
The old man in purple robes bowed his head deeply and said:
The great-nephew understood.
Central Heaven Prefecture is the essence of the Desolate Continent, occupied by the various holy sites of the Human Race.
Each of the major holy lands employs different methods of governance for its vast territories.
In the various holy sites:
The Chen Clan of Changluo Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, under the rule of the Changluo Chen clan, adopted a governance system known as the "Ten Thousand Cities System."
The so-called "system of ten thousand cities" is, simply put, similar to the city-state system of Chen Qingyu's previous life.
Each city is relatively independent, with the city lord holding great power, ruling over the city and the surrounding land, collecting taxes, enacting laws, appointing and dismissing officials, and so on.
The lord of a city is either the head of a branch of the local Chen Clan clan or the leader of a power that is affiliated with the Chen Clan.
In the Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, all cities are divided into eight levels.
The first tier consists of only one Divine Capital Changluo.
The second tier included ten major capital cities, such as Central Capital Yangchuan and Western Capital Ligu, each of which was of great importance.
Trans-space teleportation arrays are extremely expensive to build and maintain, so only cities of level five and above have them.
Four Directions City is a level 5 city, and it is the largest city in the teleportation network that is closest to the south.
At this moment:
Within the Four Directions City, in the area where crowds converge via the teleportation array:
Buzz!
A violent burst of white light rose, and spatial ripples spread outwards in layers.
After the white light subsided, the figure of a cold-faced young man in white appeared in the center of the teleportation array.
Hmm
Chen Qingyu squinted, finally taking in the scene around him:
Have we arrived at Four Directions City yet?
The experience of riding the teleportation array wasn't great. It felt like being squeezed into a sardine can and then thrown into a washing machine and churned around – it was quite unpleasant.
However, with his physique, he could easily withstand this level of spatial dizziness.
Let's leave here first, then find a map and head to Liyang City.
With that thought in mind, Chen Qingyu took a step and quickly left the area of the teleportation array.
Who would have thought:
As soon as he left the area of the teleportation array, a large group of people surrounded him.
