Taiyu Divine Dynasty, Imperial City.
Today is the day to decide who will succeed the future God.
Countless people thronged and gathered in the imperial city.
The vast imperial city, which should have been the center of centralized power and the domain of the elite, has become a bustling metropolis.
Countless strange beasts pulling carts roared past.
Whether they were leaders of powerful sects within the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, distinguished guests of the dynasty's royal palaces, or powerful independent Rogue Cultivator wandering the land, they all chose not to miss this rare spectacle.
At the same time, by finding out the truth, they can better understand to whom they will pledge allegiance in the future.
All the forces were present, including Lin Xuan.
"I think Princess Muxue successor to the God Lord this time, right?"
"It should be so. After the Mansion Competition, Princess Muxue rose rapidly in rank, and her strength and influence are worthy of the title of successor to our dynasty."
" The Eldest Imperial Prince is also... never mind, let's not talk about that."
The area surrounding the Ascension Platform was filled with important ministers of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, or distinguished guests from the residences of princesses and princes.
Lin Xuan sat on one side, listening to the whispers around him, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
It's obvious.
Everyone knew that the God-King would soon personally announce the successor to the divine throne.
Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, they are well aware that the position of successor to the God Lord can only be held by Dongfang Muxue.
Mentioning the Eldest Imperial Prince Eldest Imperial Prince, more than one person looked towards him.
However, the Eldest Imperial Prince arrived early, sitting stiffly and silently Ascension Platform with a cold face and an expression that could not hide his dejection and ugliness.
The surrounding chatter ceased abruptly upon seeing the Eldest Imperial Prince's extremely unpleasant expression.
But soon, Lin Xuan heard even more whispers about the Eldest Imperial Prince around him.
He sat among them, and those people were clearly princesses, yet they didn't make any special attempt to avoid him.
After all, during this period, his face and his name were known to everyone in the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
That's how Lin Xuan learned that during the time he was away, searching for his ancestors and Ji Zhenyi in the small world of the Forgotten River Prince's Mansion, the princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince had fought again.
However, due to the various changes in the past, coupled with the fact that the Princess's Mansion won the Mansion Competition and gained the favor of many forces, which led them to increase their bets, the power of the Eldest Imperial Prince was also greatly weakened for various reasons. Therefore, even without Lin Xuan's help, the Princess's Mansion ultimately won this time.
Even after taking a desperate gamble and failing, no matter how unwilling the Eldest Imperial Prince was, there was little he could do in the short term.
This has left many people feeling deeply regretful and moved.
after all...
The Eldest Imperial Prince was initially in a very favorable position.
If Lin Xuan hadn't appeared, the Princess's Mansion would never have won, no matter what.
But now, Lin Xuan has already left.
The future landscape of the Divine Dynasty was also completely rewritten.
I really don't know whether it's good or bad...
Those who lamented the Eldest Imperial Prince did not speak directly, but instead continuously transmitted their thoughts and exchanged glances.
They're not stupid.
It's clear that the Princess's residence is currently in a stronger position. If they were to speak ill of the Princess and promote the Eldest Imperial Prince at this time, one can easily imagine what awaits them.
Therefore, it's best to tone it down.
However, while they could restrain themselves, and were capable of doing so, the Eldest Imperial Prince had absolutely no intention or desire to do so.
He also spotted Lin Xuan in the crowd.
That moon-white robe was simply too eye-catching.
Even if he didn't want to see it, it would be difficult.
The moment the Eldest Imperial Prince saw Lin Xuan, his face turned ashen.
His eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness as he stared intently in Lin Xuan's direction, his eyes bloodshot. It looked as if he wished he could skin Lin Xuan alive and devour him whole.
The Vast Sea Saint King sat next to Lin Xuan.
How could he not sense such blatant hostility?
Looking casually, the Vast Sea Saint King met the Eldest Imperial Prince's gaze directly, but he showed no nervousness whatsoever. Instead, he shook his head and looked at Lin Xuan.
"Master, that guy over there seems to harbor a lot of hatred towards you."
Lin Xuan didn't need to look to know who the Vast Sea Saint King was referring to, and casually shrugged.
It doesn't matter.
He said calmly, "Right now, the only one who can pique my interest is that ruler of the divine dynasty who has yet to show his face."
According to the information he knew, the ruler of that divine dynasty was a powerful figure with the strength of a Great Saint.
To this day, he has never seen the Great Saint alive.
Ancestors don't count.
One of my ancestors died, and the other was crippled.
The ruler of this divine dynasty was completely conscious, and there was no indication that he was ill.
Lin Xuan secretly made plans in his mind.
I am currently at my peak condition, but I don't know what would happen if I faced such a Great Saint in my current state.
He was genuinely very curious.
Beside Lin Xuan, besides the Vast Sea Saint King, were Ji Zhenyi and Lin Zhiruo.
During this time, Lin Zhiruo had almost accepted the fact that she was no longer A Lin, but Lin Zhiruo, and she had also accepted Lin Xuan as a family member. In fact, it could be said that she had accepted it well.
But her mindset remained that of a young girl.
In fact, because she no longer felt uneasy, her personality became more lively.
Both the Vast Sea Saint King and Lin Xuan spoke only briefly. Lin Zhiruo tilted her head, not quite understanding what they were talking about, but she could understand that the Vast Sea Saint King said someone disliked Lin Xuan.
Following that particularly glaring gaze, Lin Zhiruo immediately saw the Eldest Imperial Prince staring intently at Lin Xuan. She puffed out her cheeks and then tried to put on an angry expression, staring at the Eldest Imperial Prince.
Her bright eyes seemed to be blazing with anger.
She glared fiercely at the Eldest Imperial Prince, like a pufferfish being inflated.
Far from being scary, it's actually quite adorable the more you look at it.
Lin Xuan found it somewhat amusing, gently patted Lin Zhiruo's head, and his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.
Although he is an ancestor, the way he interacts with him now is no different from how he treats his own sister...
I wonder how my little sister is doing now...
He sighed slightly, and before he could think any further, the Ascension Platform suddenly lit up.
Under the cover of white mist, the concentration of Spiritual Power on the Ascension Platform increased dramatically, and everyone subconsciously fell silent.
Then, a middle-aged man with a dignified and imposing presence appeared on the Ascension Platform, as if he had always been there.
He walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his eyes blazing, his aura like the midday sun. Everyone around him remained solemn and silent, all shaken by his imposing presence.
Not to mention the powerful and terrifying aura emanating from the other party. Without anyone else needing to tell him, Lin Xuan knew that this person must be the legendary ruler of the divine dynasty, and one of the Great Saint of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty!
The other person glanced around, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xuan and the others, but didn't linger. Instead, he spoke slowly, his deep voice echoing throughout the Ascension Platform.
No one dared to breathe loudly. After hearing the Lord of the Divine Dynasty's polite words, their eyes all fell on the beautiful figure beside him, knowing that it wouldn't be long before the future successor of the Divine Lord was announced.
As expected...
After a few brief greetings, the ruler of the divine dynasty sighed softly.
"My princes and princesses are all outstanding individuals."
However, there can only be one successor to the throne of a divine dynasty.
"After days of competition and rivalry, the results are in today."
"I hereby declare that the future God-Queen of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, and my successor, is none other than the princess of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty— "
" Dongfang Muxue!"
