The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, Su Yun stood alone outside the palace, looking at the distant void, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.
Tonight, with the second revival of heaven and earth, Su Yun sensed countless terrifying beings constantly awakening. Having just completed his conquest of the Human Realm, he was filled with resentment.
Su Yun knew very well that he was powerless to preserve this ambition of unifying the world.
He was powerless to possess the vast landscape of this Human Realm.
Despite being the Human Emperor, Su Yun was not as domineering as Su Tianlong had been before. He had always lived in constant fear and trepidation.
Because he was afraid, afraid that the foundation of the Great Zhou would be destroyed in his hands.
Then he would be a sinner against the Great Zhou Imperial Clan.
He had indeed coveted the position of Human Emperor in the past, but now that such a heavy burden had fallen on his shoulders, Su Yun felt that it would be too difficult for the Human Emperor to bring happiness to the Human Race.
In the beginning, there were both internal and external troubles.
The internal and external troubles had just ended, and the Human Realm had just been unified, but now, the second revival of heaven and earth has arrived.
Countless ancient beings have been resurrected one after another, and those forces hidden underground have been constantly brought to the surface. This seemingly invincible Great Zhou Dynasty, which suppresses everything, is now like a lone boat in the ocean, which may be overturned at any time.
Despite his domineering demeanor in public, he was actually incredibly repressed inside.
They have spared no effort in protecting this vast land.
"Why!"
"With the world reviving, this world is a world where might makes right. Imperial power seems so laughable in the face of absolute strength."
At this moment, Su Yun's sigh was filled with helplessness and resentment.
Su Yun clenched her fists tightly, as if she had made a difficult decision.
"Someone come here!"
As Su Yun's voice fell, a figure appeared before him and knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Human Emperor!"
"What are your orders, Your Human Emperor?"
The newcomer was a member of the Night Watchers, one of Su Yun's trusted men.
Seeing the person in front of him, Su Yun sighed inwardly again.
These Night Watchers were his elite force, cultivated at great cost. The man before him was an outstanding member of the Night Watchers, possessing exceptional talent and having already reached the pinnacle of the Saint Realm, Myriad Dharmas Return to One.
However, Su Yun was very clear about it.
The world is about to undergo a great change.
Even at the pinnacle of the Myriad Dharmas Return to One, one is merely a first-rate expert, not the most outstanding in the world, and cannot protect this vast dynasty.
The heavens of this Human Realm are about to change.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Su Yun found it difficult to say them. However, Su Yun clenched his fist and finally made his decision.
"Summon all officials immediately for a meeting in the Golden Palace!"
"Invoking the Holy War Decree."
After Su Yun finished speaking, Su Yun felt as if all his strength had been drained away.
Su Yun was well aware that this was likely the last time he would issue Holy War Decree.
In the years that followed, numerous heroes rose up, making it difficult for the Human Race.
"Yes!"
" Your Human Emperor!"
The Night Watchers received the order and immediately vanished.
"Brother Yunlong, do you think the Shenghuang's son can protect my Great Zhou?"
At this moment, Su Yun's voice was filled with despair.
As his voice faded, Zhou Yunlong slowly emerged from the dark corner, his expression grave.
" Your Human Emperor, what is this?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Yunlong's expression changed, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
Answer me?
Su Yun did not answer Zhou Yunlong, but said calmly.
"Now, everything should be fine!"
" The Shenghuang's strength is unfathomable, and Shenghuang cultivation speed is astonishing. He may be the chosen one of this era. If he cannot protect the royal family, then no one else can."
At this moment, Zhou Yunlong took a deep breath, recalling all that Su Xiuyi had said, and said with an extremely solemn expression.
"That's true!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yun clenched his fist and walked away step by step.
Summoning the court officials naturally takes time, and at this moment, Su Yun walked step by step deeper into the palace.
At this moment, the Imperial Tutor was by his side.
Looking at the taciturn Su Yun, the old imperial tutor asked with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, is something on your mind?"
At this moment, the old imperial tutor looked at his disciple with a face full of satisfaction. He never imagined that his disciple would not only ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor, but also unify the human realm, which had been divided among sects for thousands of the Human Realm.
He became the first emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Teacher, I'm not reconciled!"
Upon hearing his teacher's words, Su Yun no longer considered himself the Human Emperor, but instead spoke with a resentful expression.
Upon hearing this, the old imperial tutor was instantly shaken, and suddenly he had a bad premonition.
At this moment, having only recently unified the Human Realm, Su Yun should be full of vigor and high spirits, but why does he appear so heavy-hearted?
"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?"
However, having experienced countless major events, the old imperial tutor quickly regained his composure after a brief period of unease.
Upon hearing this question, Su Yun replied calmly.
" The Shang Commandery, the closest to the capital, is experiencing a surge of fortune tonight. The once-dormant Great Shang, this terrifying and ferocious dragon, has awakened."
Su Yun took a deep breath and voiced her concerns.
"What?"
"Unusual activity in Shang Commandery —has the ancient royal family revived?"
Upon hearing this, even the old imperial tutor, who had cultivated the composure to remain calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, instantly lost his composure.
The Great Shang Imperial Clan was a renowned royal family in ancient times, a powerful force that once suppressed all races. The Great Shang Imperial Clan was also guarded by an extremely terrifying divine beast.
The Great Zhou Imperial Clan was a dynasty established by destroying the bloodline of the Great Shang. Although it was only a branch of the bloodline left behind after the Great Shang Dynasty proclaimed itself, or even a collateral branch, seizing someone else's throne was a great taboo.
Moreover, the self-proclaimed Great Shang has countless powerful entities joining in this self-proclaimed status.
At this moment, the old imperial tutor could no longer hold back.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
At that moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts?"
The old imperial tutor looked at Su Yun, who stood tall despite bearing a heavy burden, and couldn't help but ask.
"I need power, power to rival the Great Shang Imperial Clan."
"Moreover, if we want to preserve the royal family, we must move the capital."
"Taking advantage of the current momentum of my unification of the world, moving the capital should make things much easier. However, if we delay, and the fact that the Great Shang is recovering can no longer be concealed, then moving the capital will be a disaster."
It seemed as if Su Yun used all his strength to utter the words "relocate the capital."
At that moment, he was under immense pressure.
Moving the capital is a momentous event.
This symbolizes the rise and fall of a dynasty.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Where will His Human Emperor move the capital?"
The old imperial tutor solemnly said, "Moving the capital is no child's play."
However, Su Yun answered the old imperial tutor's question with absolute decisiveness.
" Southern Region!"
The old imperial tutor looked puzzled and said solemnly, " Your Human Emperor, the Southern Region is a bit remote, are you not considering other places?"
"The only way to preserve the Zhou Imperial Clan bloodline is to go to the Southern Region, where the guardian deity of my royal family resides."
"However, I wonder if the guardian deity of the royal family is willing to continue protecting the royal family?"
At this moment, Su Yun felt worried, uneasy, and anxious.
"Which senior is in the Southern Region?"
The old imperial tutor was suddenly shaken.
He had always felt that the powerful figure behind Su Yun was hidden in the capital, but it turned out to be in the Southern Region.
But at this moment, the old imperial tutor dared not ask any more questions, and was even somewhat uneasy.
After all, the existence of that person is fundamental to the royal family.
Today, he has learned a huge secret.
The two of them had arrived at the forbidden area of the royal family.
At that moment, the old imperial tutor's expression suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
When the old imperial tutor realized where he was, he panicked completely.
This place was once Su Tianlong's place of seclusion.
After Su Tianlong's death, everything here was sealed away.
However, Su Yun waved his hand, stopping the old imperial tutor from continuing, and said calmly, "I don't want to either, but in this world, strength reigns supreme. To stabilize this empire, I have no choice, because I have no choice."
"I already have a prince, the throne is in my hands, there is no need to worry!"
"So what if I become a demon!"
Upon hearing this, the old imperial tutor was speechless, for this was something even the former Su Tianlong dared not attempt.
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, the old imperial tutor immediately knelt down.
She closed her eyes.
At that moment, he aged several years in an instant and felt powerless.
Su Yun activated the formation and disappeared.
Time passed quickly. Inside the Golden Palace of the capital, the officials arrived one after another. No one dared to disobey the Holy War Decree. At this moment, everyone was extremely worried and uneasy, because today, countless terrifying beings had appeared in the world. They were too powerful and domineering.
As the courtiers waited, Su Yun, whose face was slightly pale, walked in, and the courtiers knelt down to pay their respects.
Members of the royal family also entered the main hall one after another.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Yun coldly said, "Everyone, I have summoned you all today to announce something. I have decided to move the capital to the Southern Region. At this moment, the Mighty Gods and Devils Demon Puppet is building the imperial city in the Southern Region, and the capital will be moved soon."
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the expressions of the officials in the Golden Palace changed drastically.
To everyone's surprise, Su Yun was planning to move the capital.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! The capital has been built up by successive Human Emperor; we cannot disrespect the decision to move the capital."
A renowned scholar immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The remaining officials immediately knelt down as well. They had built their fortunes here over countless years, and a hasty advance into the capital would shake the foundations of these powerful families.
"Snort!"
Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
"Today, I have summoned you not to discuss matters with you. My mind is made up. Now, I have summoned you to discuss the matter of relocating the capital."
······
In the Myriad Text Academy of Southern Heaven City, Su Xiuyi gazed into the void, a strange light appearing in her eyes.
" Sage Su, what's wrong?"
Su Xiuyi, who was holding the Blood Dog, asked curiously.
He knew that Su Xiuyi had broken through to a higher realm, but for some reason, Su Xiuyi was frowning at this moment.
Hearing Blood Dog's words, Su Xiuyi said helplessly, "Today, I observed the heavens and discovered that the royal family's fortune has been divided into three parts. Furthermore, I noticed that a layer of dark clouds is shrouding the capital. I fear the royal family is facing a great calamity."
" Sage Su, are you going to the capital?"
Blood Dog knew Su Xiuyi's identity, and upon hearing that the royal family was in trouble, he couldn't help but ask.
"Um?"
"Some causes and effects cannot be severed; otherwise, they would become shackles when I Defying Heaven and Changing Fate. It seems I still have to make a trip to the capital."
Su Xiuyi gazed into the void and sighed.
He only wanted to cultivate in peace, but alas, he could not.
