Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346: Wooing through Friendship
Divine Martial Dynasty.
"So the Divine Maiden Yanran appeared beyond the Dragon Realm and subdued the Dragon Ancestor. This favor, I shall remember."
Chu Yuan also understood some of what transpired beyond the Dragon Realm: "The demon clans of Ten Thousand Demons Sky even tried to assassinate the Canglong Lord. Alas, they hoped to provoke a battle between the Dragon Ancestor and myself, but they failed."
"The Moonlight Island Master has arrived."
Chu Yuan, sensing the dynasty’s karmic fortune, amidst the shifting dimensions, immediately saw the Moonlight Island Master and approached with a smile.
The Moonlight Island Master, a Fifth Realm Heavenly Fate powerhouse, far surpassed the Canglong Lord in might.
"Divine Martial Emperor."
The Moonlight Island Master came to personally visit Chu Yuan and was secretly astonished at the grandeur of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
This was an enormous empire, constantly operating at a rapid pace, preparing for countless wars—a stark contrast to his tranquil Moonlight Island.
"Moonlight Island Master."
An existence of this caliber could only be personally received by Chu Yuan.
"I hope my visit doesn’t disturb you."
The Moonlight Island Master smiled, saying, "I know the Divine Emperor has ascended beyond the Heavenly Dao God realm, and I’ve come bearing a gift to offer my congratulations."
"It’s merely the Heavenly Dao God realm."
Chu Yuan said with a smile.
"Not the same—your Heavenly Dao is no ordinary one, rare in all of history."
The Moonlight Island Master naturally understood the dread-inspiring power of the Divine Martial Sovereign, his gaze drifting toward the Ten Thousand Realms Heavenly Tower suppressing the empire’s karmic fortune, his heart even more shaken.
"Bring forth a grand banquet! I must properly host the Moonlight Island Master, my esteemed friend to the Divine Martial Dynasty."
Chu Yuan commanded.
Soon after the Moonlight Island Master’s arrival, another group of people came.
"So this is Brother Chu’s empire!"
The magnificent dynasty radiated vigorous vitality, its sheer karmic fortune overwhelming Fen Xu to dizziness as he entered the Divine Martial Dynasty for the first time.
"Primal Divine Artifact!"
Lord Zhu had long heard of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s possession of a Primal Divine Artifact. At the moment he laid eyes on the Ten Thousand Realms Heavenly Tower, its terrifying power made his soul tremble.
This Primal Divine Artifact was immensely terrifying!
"That there is the former Dawning Sky."
Starfire spoke.
This man, with a gentle demeanor akin to a refreshing spring breeze, held an identity second only to the True Sun Lord within the True Sun Heavenly Court.
He observed, saying, "The Dawning Sky has already awakened and is restoring its vital essence of heaven and earth—I sense the force of the Morning Star."
"The Morning Star is a Primal Divine Artifact forged by the Dawning Sky Sovereign."
Lord Zhu remarked, "Master Starfire, look at that tower-shaped Primal Divine Artifact. It surpasses the Morning Star, fortifying Divine Martial’s karmic fortune, forming an immortal defense. The power of this artifact is extraordinarily strong!"
"The Morning Star, as well as this artifact—Divine Martial Dynasty is impregnable. Shaking them is something only beings at the primordial god tier can attempt."
Starfire discerned the impenetrable defenses supporting Divine Martial’s heartland. "Let’s go meet the Divine Martial Emperor."
"Such intense temporal power!"
In an instant, Lord Zhu vividly experienced the rapid flow of time, exclaiming in astonishment, "While a single day passes in the multiverse, hundreds of years have elapsed within this Divine Martial Dynasty. The Temporal Dao—the Divine Martial Emperor’s mastery over time is extraordinary!"
The exceptional nature of Divine Martial further reinforced the wisdom behind the True Sun Lord’s decision to send them.
"Guests from the True Sun Heavenly Court."
Outside the Divine Capital, formidable figures were already prepared to welcome Starfire.
"We’ve come on behalf of the Lord to congratulate the Divine Martial Emperor."
Lord Zhu spoke without arrogance, adopting a respectful demeanor, aware of the power this empire wielded.
"His Majesty has already prepared a feast to host the honored guests."
Facing Starfire’s entourage, the welcoming guards displayed neither servility nor arrogance, their bearing brimming with vigor.
"This is an empire advancing at extraordinary speed."
Lord Zhu thought secretly.
They quickly arrived at a grandiose hall.
"Chu... Divine Emperor."
Fen Xu no longer dared to casually address Chu Yuan as Brother Chu.
Although Chu Yuan calmly stood before them, the force of the Heavenly Dao permeated their souls, inducing an overwhelming divine pressure like that of heaven and god.
"The arrival of guests from the True Sun Sky is indeed unexpected." Chu Yuan said, "I’ve already laid out a banquet—please, take your seats."
But Fen Xu was extremely nervous.
After all, these were beings at the Heavenly Dao tier.
His own presence here was solely due to his past camaraderie with Divine Martial.
"It is an honor to be hosted by the Divine Emperor."
Lord Zhu, who had encountered Chu Yuan several times in the past, now found the emperor to be as inscrutable as an abyss, continuing, "The Moonlight Island Master is also present."
"The Divine Martial Emperor is my friend." The Moonlight Island Master said with a smile.
"The Divine Emperor is well aware that my True Sun Sky is currently at war with Vast Sea Sky. Since the Divine Emperor participated in the past conflicts, it might be said we share an alliance against Vast Sea Sky."
Lord Zhu sought to strengthen the connection between Chu Yuan and True Sun Sky.
"Indeed." Chu Yuan acknowledged.
"Thus, the Lord wishes to invite the Divine Emperor to join the war against Vast Sea Sky."
Lord Zhu proposed.
"I am Starfire, the Lord of True Sun’s junior brother."
Starfire spoke, "The Divine Emperor governs a nation and understands that the collapse of an entire sky would yield immeasurable benefits. If Vast Sea Sky is breached, it would be an unprecedented feast for the Divine Emperor. I suspect the emperor wouldn’t pass up this opportunity."
"But I am equally aware that attempting to breach a sky requires an almost unbearable cost."
Chu Yuan understood their intentions—they hoped to enlist him into their ranks.
"Without sacrifice, there can be no reward," Starfire replied with a smile, "Vast Sea Sky has many resources we True Sun Sky cannot utilize. Our real goal is to topple Vast Sea Sky’s rank among the Thirty-Three Skies, allowing True Sun Sky to ascend in its place. We would then be the best of friends—the Divine Emperor knows what this entails."
"Even the True Sun Lord has sent envoys to recruit the Divine Martial Emperor."
The Moonlight Island Master thought to himself, "It’s clear: to attack a sky, one must leverage every alliance possible. True Sun Sky’s primary focus isn’t merely Vast Sea Sky’s resources—it’s their status."
"The Lord is now willing to propose a transaction—the Divine Emperor’s empire is rapidly developing and undoubtedly demands vast resources. This time, we can negotiate directly with the Divine Emperor for mutual benefit."
Lord Zhu added.
"The proposal is indeed reasonable." Chu Yuan said. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
As his empire expanded, having allies to exchange benefits was always advantageous.
"If the Divine Emperor seeks to ascend to the Thirty-Three Skies in the future, my True Sun Sky would be delighted to assist. Only through united strength can one ascend to the summit of the multiverse."
Starfire remarked.
"They merely covet the potential of my Divine Martial Dynasty and the suppressive power of the Ten Thousand Realms Heavenly Tower, hoping I would use the tower in their final battle to restrain portions of Vast Sea Sky’s celestial essence."
Chu Yuan was fully aware.
As for aiding him in ascending to the Thirty-Three Skies someday?
For True Sun Sky, such a time was far-off—they could provide minor assistance without much cost.
Very well, Chu Yuan opted to comply for the moment. After all, friends could never be too many.
"I shall dispatch a contingent to temper themselves on the battlefield of Vast Sea Sky."
Chu Yuan said indifferently.
"Then allow me to wish for the Divine Emperor’s dynasty to become ever stronger."
Starfire did not elaborate further.
Of course, he understood—it was impossible to convince someone to deploy a Primal Divine Artifact in battle through mere words.
Only upon witnessing their ability to conquer Vast Sea Sky without doubt would mighty figures come flocking to divide the spoils without persuasion.
They held confidence in their plan; otherwise, they would not have launched a war against Vast Sea Sky.
What they needed to do now was prove their strength.
"We shall take our leave for now."
After some discussions, Chu Yuan reached certain agreements with the True Sun Heavenly Court, and then they departed.
"While I have no wish to entangle myself in their war, I only hope for Moonlight Island to exist peacefully and for myself to transcend the Heavenly Dao realm."
The Moonlight Island Master also took his leave.
The dynasty returned to tranquility once again.
