NOVPUBChapter 996: Chapter 996: The Grand Princess Chapter 996: Chapter 996: The Grand Princess “This old thing is right, detestable indeed, he knew he couldn’t suppress us for much longer, so he released us amidst the chaos, but he’s also not wrong—our strength has yet to return to its peak, and those who have come here are no simple characters!”
“We’ll let him go this time, but we’ll settle scores with him later!”
“The most important thing now is to restore our power!”
If it were not for the gathering of many powerful beings, they would have definitely torn apart the Sacred Guardians, also fearing that those Divine Emperors from the Divine Martial Dynasty would capture them for infusion.
“There are no treasures in the Main Divine Palace, why haven’t you left?”
The face of the Sacred Guardian revealed a smile as he slowly said, “If we’re talking about the greatest treasure, it would be these suppressors whose powers have significantly depleted. Capturing them may still be useful to you. Please retreat, for although the gods are absent, their majesty remains.”
“Old thing, you are detestable!”
These suppressors roared.
Inside the temple was a majestic divine throne, unscathed.
He slowly walked over, not to sit, but to kneel before it. The majesty of the gods was condensing above, and a blurred deity still loomed over the universe.
This was the majesty of a god.
“Although I am no match for you, with the power left by the gods, if you think to completely annihilate the Divine Palace, there is a price to be paid. The gods are not dead, and those who offend the gods will ultimately be punished.”
He revered the gods.
This divine throne was the one upon which the Sovereign of the gods once sat, the core of the entire Divine Palace. After releasing these people, there was no need to use power to suppress them, and he could fully channel the power to fortify himself.
The Ancient Emperor frowned.
This Guardian’s strength was not weak, and with the addition of the Divine Palace’s power, dealing with him was indeed troublesome.
Most importantly, even if they destroyed him, what benefit would they gain? It would just be a broken Main Divine Palace.
And this broken Main Divine Palace still retained the will of the gods; just as the Guardian had said, there was no value left here.
He looked towards the Feathered Divine Emperor and the Divine Martial Emperor to see what they would do.
“Send away the divine throne, leave the battlefield to them.”
The Guardian dared not touch the divine throne.
He also knew he couldn’t contend with the current cosmic situation, he sighed softly—the splendor belonging to the gods was no more, and even people dared to attack the Main Divine Palace.
Who would have dared in the past?
At the pinnacle of the gods, even the supreme had to kneel before him.
However, he firmly believed that the gods were not dead and would ultimately return.
When the gods returned to the universe, it would be his time to eternally rule the cycle of heaven and earth. These three great Divine Dynasties would all be destroyed, not one would exist.
At that moment, a divine voice sounded, and hundreds of people appeared, both men and women, lined up on both sides, dressed in divine garments, the weakest among them possessing immortal cultivations.
They arrived in front of the divine throne, faces respectful.
“These are Divine Servants!”
Someone shouted.
The so-called Divine Servants were the guards by the side of the gods, the existence that defended the gods’ majesty, and only the most outstanding could serve as Divine Servants.
“Hm?”
Among these hundreds, Chu Yuan’s gaze suddenly focused on a young woman, her face delicate—but that wasn’t the key point.
This woman’s appearance gradually overlapped with someone from his memories.
Chu Chenxue!
The Crown Princess of the Divine Martial Dynasty!
The Crown Princess was born amidst morning snow, hence she was named Chu Chenxue.
Although he had never met the Crown Princess, it didn’t mean he didn’t know what she looked like.
In the past, the Crown Princess had left Dawu very early.
After Chu Yuan unified Eternity, he also searched for her, but unfortunately, there was no trace; in his view, she might have died, or perhaps entered a mysterious place.
And now, Chu Chenxue had appeared in the Divine Palace, becoming a Divine Servant.
Chu Yuan understood that the great eternal world was originally the territory of the Eternal Realm Lord, and the Crown Princess might have been transported to the Divine Palace by a Formation within the great eternal world, explaining why he had never found her.
“Chu Chenxue.”
Chu Yuan suddenly spoke.
However, when he called out this name, the Grand Princess showed no reaction, her eyes filled only with worship and admiration for the divine.
Chu Yuan was not surprised, as the Grand Princess’s faith, surely due to the Guardians of God, had made her forget her own memories.
“Guardian of God, you cannot leave,” Chu Yuan said.
“What else do you want, Divine Martial Emperor?”
The Guardian of God asked.
“You must leave this divine servant behind.”
Chu Yuan said.
“Why would the Divine Martial Emperor suddenly single out a divine servant?”
Everyone was curious.
“The divine servants are the guards of God. What are you trying to do, Divine Martial Emperor?”
The Guardian of God’s face showed displeasure. A single divine servant might mean little, but keeping one questioned the very majesty of God.
He firmly believed that God had not died and existed within this universe.
“It is because the divine servant you speak of is our empire’s Grand Princess, my elder imperial sister. You let my elder sister serve you as a divine servant, as if I don’t exist?”
Chu Yuan said coldly.
“What, there’s such a thing!”
Everyone was shocked.
“Those who become divine servants have already given their soul and faith to the great God. They no longer belong to themselves but to God. Even if I give you the divine servant, she is nothing but an empty shell.”
The Guardian of God had not expected such matters.
He knew this woman, who became a divine servant not long ago, transported to the Divine Palace by a Formation left by God within the universe.
Although God had fallen, the cosmic cycle had not passed, and Formations were set up everywhere. Sometimes, there were accidental intruders.
Each divine servant was selected from countless people. During this woman’s time, there were several hundred thousand people.
God was gone, but he still did not forget to train divine servants within the Divine Palace, preparing them for God’s return over a prolonged period.
Training divine servants was a cruel and bloody process, much like raising gu poison.
The Main Divine Palace was not lacking in resources, and the flow of time there differed from the outside world. This woman had emerged from among those hundreds of thousands, the only one left alive, raised by him to an immortal state.
“I know their memories and souls have been sealed on the Divine Throne.”
Chu Yuan was indifferent, “Break the Divine Throne, and naturally, my elder sister’s soul and memories can be retrieved.”
“Divine Martial Emperor, you dare!”
The Guardian of God roared angrily. His devotion to God was such that he could sacrifice his supreme life. He himself dared not touch the Divine Throne, and now someone audaciously spoke of breaking it.
Even as the emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty, it was not allowed!
At the time of God’s domination, powers rivaling the Divine Martial Dynasty had been annihilated.
“My elder sister’s soul and faith is also something you can control? Just for that, it’s a capital offense.”
Chu Yuan was overly domineering.
Although he did not have much affection for Chu Chenxue, she was after all his elder sister, the Grand Princess of the Divine Martial Dynasty. Chu Chenyao and the Empress Dowager had longed for years to find the Grand Princess.
He feared nothing.
“Ding! New side mission released: Retrieve Chu Chenxue’s faith and soul.”
“Ding! New side mission released: Take control of God’s Domain.”
Two side mission notifications were issued.
“The Divine Martial Emperor is about to make a move against the Guardian of God!”
Divine light swirled, the Supreme Dao suppressed the will of all gods.
Chu Yuan advanced, his gaze focusing on the Guardian of God, as the current Divine Emperor made his move against the Divine Palace.
