"Oh..."
Looking at the silent officials, Chen Qingyu chuckled softly:
"It seems that my esteemed ministers lack some confidence in me."
As soon as he finished speaking:
The Heaven-Bearing Hall was deathly silent. Even the Mighty Marshal and other military generals kept their heads down and did not dare to speak.
This is a very real problem:
The Heavenly Emperor Chen was too old, only a few hundred years away from the end of his Lifespan. His body and soul had long since aged and decayed, greatly reducing his combat power.
Without the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron," he might not have been able to defeat even any of the rebel kings.
But naturally, no one dared to bring this up openly.
"His Majesty..."
The Grand Secretary took a deep breath and knelt on the ground:
"We are incompetent and have dragged Your Majesty down!"
With him taking the lead, the civil and military officials knelt down in unison, making the atmosphere in the Heaven-Bearing Hall even more oppressive. (Meow Meow said)
"Alright."
Chen Qingyu waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"The Grand Secretary's assessment of the situation is correct. The rebel kings are currently riddled with internal conflicts, making this an opportune time to defeat them one by one."
"But you've misjudged one thing."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, his voice booming like thunder:
"I am still in my prime!"
"More than 100,000 years ago, I was able to sweep across the six realms, conquer the eight wastelands, and suppress the Nine Realms. I can do the same now!"
Upon hearing this statement:
The assembled civil and military officials looked up in surprise, their expressions stunned.
" Mighty Marshal!"
Chen Qingyu stood with his sleeves behind his back and said calmly:
"By imperial decree, the three armies are ordered to garrison Heavenly Capital and not leave its seat even for a moment!"
"I will personally lead the army to quell the rebellion!"
Upon hearing this, the Mighty Marshal was greatly surprised and instinctively tried to dissuade him:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible..."
Why not?
Chen Qingyu interrupted him and asked in return:
"Do you mean for me to hide in the Heavenly Capital and wait for those rebel kings to come knocking on my door?"
"This..."
The Mighty Marshal paused, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Alright, my mind is made up. There's no need to discuss this further."
Chen Qingyu waved his sleeve and said in a resounding voice:
"Dismiss the court!"
The civil and military officials in the Heaven-Bearing Hall had no choice but to stand up and look at each other in bewilderment.
soon:
The officials filed out, bowing as they left the Heaven-Bearing Hall, leaving the vast hall empty once again.
" The Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron..."
Chen Qingyu sat upright on the throne, his eyes flashing, and a small bronze ancient cauldron appeared in his hand.
He toyed with the Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron, lost in thought and remained silent.
Which one should I choose...?
Since the twelve rebel kings have not yet gathered, he naturally wants to strike first and kill one of them.
The rebel king is not a concern; the important thing is the other four divine artifacts.
Therefore, for his first move, he had to choose one of the four major rebel kings.
"Um..."
After a moment's thought, he quickly made a decision:
"Let's make it the Ascension Heavenly King!"
This person was the most powerful among the twelve rebel kings, controlling almost the entire Ascension Realm and commanding a large number of rebel troops.
Especially his identity; he was originally the successor to the " Eastern Heavenly King," but he openly rebelled and became a traitor. As a result, the Heavenly Capital was powerless to suppress him, leading to the complete collapse of the situation.
Using this person's head as a sacrifice to deter those with treacherous ambitions is also a good option.
We need to hurry.
"I was the first to reach the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, enter the Nine Realms, and obtain the identity of ' Heavenly Emperor Chen '."
"The rest of the Half-Step Heavenly Lord will eventually reach the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda and enter the mist, where they will likely take over the identities of the other rebel kings."
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
Within the Nine Realms today:
The twelve rebel kings, unaware of his strength, believed him to be old and senile, posing little threat, and were preoccupied with internal strife, which gave him the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
But the Great Emperor Dongxu, the Emperor Huan, and others are different.
These people were acutely aware of the terrifying extent of his power.
Once they enter the Nine Realms and become rebel kings, they will surely join forces to fight against him.
Let's go!
Chen Qingyu acted swiftly and decisively, immediately standing up and subtly shifting his thoughts.
In an instant:
A vast Divine Power surged forth, activating the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron " in his palm.
Although he has only had the equipment for a short time, his formidable strength has allowed him to begin to understand how the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron " operates.
This supreme treasure of the Heavenly Lord was forged by activating the ' Law of Space ', possessing unparalleled power to change the world, shift stars, and reshape the order of space.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a dramatic transformation of space:
Chen Qingyu's figure vanished without a trace in the Heaven-Bearing Hall in the center of Heavenly Capital.
And right after he left:
Within the Heavenly Capital, undercurrents immediately surged, and numerous messages spread through clandestine channels towards the Nine Realms...
Heavenly River Realm.
Night falls over the Star Sea, and the Milky Way Heaven-reaching, nurturing countless stars.
Countless stars, Earth Star, and nebulae together form the entire Heavenly River Realm, with the central " Heavenly River " naturally being the most prosperous and flourishing region.
Somewhere on the frontier beyond the Milky Way:
"Boom!"
As space twisted and reshaped, Chen Qingyu's figure suddenly appeared.
"What incredible power!"
He glanced back at the distant Milky Way, then looked at the Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron in his palm, a look of amazement on his face.
It only slightly stimulated:
He traversed more than half the distance of the Dao Domain, arriving at the border of the Heavenly River Realm from " Heavenly Capital " in the center of the Heavenly River.
"This is a very ingenious method of spatial reshaping and point-to-point connection..."
Thoughts kept flashing through Chen Qingyu's mind.
He could actually use this method, but the effect would not be nearly as amazing; he couldn't cross the distance of a Dao Domain in one step.
From this perspective:
The difference between Half-Step Heavenly Lord and Heavenly Lord is not actually that great, but in terms of power and might, they are worlds apart.
If Half-Step Heavenly Lord is a drop of water, Heavenly Lord is a vast ocean.
"Is the Realm of Heaven-Reaching truly so wondrous that it allows one to ascend to the heavens in a single step?"
"Or is there some mystery or secret I'm unaware of...?"
His thoughts wandered for a moment, then he quickly regained his composure and activated the Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron in his hand:
"Open!"
In an instant:
A torrent of spatial power crashed against the barrier of the Heavenly River Realm before them.
"Buzzing..."
The barrier crumbled inch by inch, revealing a small black hole that was rapidly expanding.
Although the Nine Realms are all independent, it is not actually difficult for cultivators to cross the barriers and travel to another realm.
But the Five Great Divine Artifacts are different:
For example, the " Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron " wielded by Chen Qingyu is so powerful that it can cover the entire Heavenly River Realm and establish spatial order.
It's like a giant elephant trying to squeeze into a small room; a very large passageway must be opened beforehand.
Chen Qingyu would not abandon the Mountains and Rivers State Cauldron and rashly venture into the Heavenly River Realm alone. That would not be a personal expedition, but rather delivering food to someone else.
"Boom..."
As time passed, the holes in the barrier of the Heavenly River Realm grew larger and larger.
Through this invisible void, one can vaguely see another mysterious portal to a new world, slowly opening...
