NOVPUBThe moment this crazy idea emerged, an extraordinary change took place in the entire Secret Realm Square-Inch.
Within the Sun Star suspended above All Realms, in the Taiyang Palace, the eyelids of the majestic Donghua Emperor, who lay dormant, trembled slightly; and in an instant, the radiance of the Sun Star illuminated the Ten Thousand Realms.
Within All Realms, mighty beings one after another raised their heads to look at the dazzling Great Sun in the firmament, and voices filled with shock and doubt emanated from them.
"The Sun commands the sky!"
"Has the Donghua Emperor awakened?"
"It is rumored that the Donghua Emperor has frequently entered slumber recently. Who knows what changes this awakening will bring."
However, those trembling eyes ultimately failed to open; as the brilliance of the Great Sun waned, the main hall within the Taiyang Palace once again plunged into silence.
...
In the midst of the Secret Realm Square-Inch, the very moment Shen Yuan conceived that wild thought, the entire Secret Realm Square-Inch endured the scorching of the Great Sun, with sunlight that could pierce through the ten directions of All Realms seeming as if it could descend upon this small world at any moment.
Shen Yuan immediately realized that his mad idea had been sensed by the Donghua Emperor.
As the lord over the host of immortals and gods, one of the topmost beings in Highest Heaven, his True Name had long been engraved within All Realms; any thought of him would echo in response.
Under normal circumstances, one would typically need to chant the True Name to sense related matters, and the vast majority of beings from Highest Heaven would not respond to these chants.
But there are always exceptions.
The karma between Shen Yuan and the Donghua Emperor was too profound, involving Gods Purging Divine Power, Heaven Patching Sun Drenching, even to the point of being mistaken for the Donghua Emperor several times.
Add to that Shen Yuan’s thought, preparing to usurp the position of Sun Star Monarch from the Donghua Emperor after a Myriad Ages, had already been perceived by the Donghua Emperor.
Were it not for the fact that the Donghua Emperor of later eras had already perished, and his ability to revive was hindered by the unique property of the present era’s Gods Purging Divine Power, he would likely have already crossed realms to suppress and slaughter Shen Yuan.
The Donghua Emperor attempted to revive forcibly; however, as he had met his demise in the true timeline, he ultimately found it difficult to contend with the unique property of this era and was forced into forced slumber.
Feeling the oppressive force dissipate, Shen Yuan took a deep breath, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, and his hand, which tightly clutched the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order, relaxed.
"I nearly forgot, this era isn’t after the Myriad Ages following the Great Schism of All Realms. Even when facing powerful experts of Highest Heaven, I shouldn’t be so reckless."
"In this timeline, before the Myriad Ages, the Donghua Emperor still sits within the Taiyang Palace, overlooking the mortal world. Even if I came here crossing Myriad Ages through space and time, and am forced into slumber by this era’s unique property of the Gods Purging Divine Power, he will not ignore such grand karma."
"Regarding the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching Great Divine Power, it’s best to wait until after the Myriad Ages to seek plans and schemes."
With that thought, Shen Yuan tossed the "10 Suns Immersion Technique" in his hand, which fell into the Great Sun within the Secret Realm Square-Inch.
The Great Sun, transformed by Zhuming Chengye, easily swallowed up this Heavenly General Great Divine Power, and the Great Sun within the Secret Realm Square-Inch actually began to solidify further, as if the illusory projection was about to turn into a real Great Sun.
Without delving into the changes brought about by the "10 Suns Immersion Technique" for the time being, Shen Yuan pressed his slightly restless brow with a hand and stepped out of the Secret Realm Square-Inch.
Back in the courtyard, Shen Yuan seemed to have escaped the scorching gaze of the Great Sun, and his mind immediately became much lighter.
Reflecting on today’s gains, Shen Yuan could never have imagined that he would have involved a Heavenly General Great Divine Power simply by seeking some Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods.
The profound strength of the Great Yin Imperial Family far exceeded Shen Yuan’s expectations.
Even if Shen Yuan now chose to return after the Myriad Ages, the gains he had made would be enough for him to digest for quite some time.
Calming his tumultuous thoughts, Shen Yuan entered the cultivation chamber and began his daily cultivation.
Meanwhile, outside the Third Imperial Prince’s Mansion, the turmoil in the Imperial Capital had just begun.
...
Outside the Crown Prince’s Manor, carriages of extravagant luxury had already gathered in front of the mansion’s gate.
Among them were ministers and nobles whose families had thrived for tens of thousands of years alongside the nation, as well as newly risen heads of noble families that had emerged over the last few thousand years.
Without exception, all of these individuals were big figures renowned throughout Jiu Province.
As core figures of the Crown Prince’s faction, they hastily came to the Crown Prince’s Manor to meet the Crown Prince and discuss countermeasures upon learning that the Falling Clouds Taoist had appeared at the Third Prince’s Mansion.
At any other point in time, even the exceptional talent of the Falling Clouds Taoist couldn’t have caused such a stir among the many important persons present.
But now, with the upcoming All-Worlds Luotian Convention, the cultivation of the Falling Clouds Taoist, far beyond his peers, was enough to influence the overall situation.
This was especially true at the Luotian Convention, where insights would be compared; the Falling Clouds Taoist’s talent would allow him to move as freely as a fish in water, inevitably affecting the Crown Prince’s faction’s originally planned strategies.
As time passed, more and more nobility and ministers gathered outside the Crown Prince’s Manor, almost filling the street.
Yet, the gate of the Crown Prince’s Manor remained firmly shut, with no response from inside, causing increasing unease among the waiting nobility and ministers.
Inside the reception hall of the Crown Prince’s Manor, Crown Prince Ji Xuanyi was entertaining a special guest.
This guest, dressed in a deep blue long robe adorned with water patterns, sat on a lower seat, his exotic face flashed with fish scales, and mist danced around his body as if he could turn the entire reception hall into a body of water.
The exotic-looking young man glanced at the many restless nobility and ministers of the Crown Prince’s Manor and said with a meaningful tone,
"Crown Prince, leaving those nobility and ministers hanging outside the gate, are you not worried that they might harbor grudges?"
Crown Prince Ji Xuanyi replied with an indifferent smile, unconcerned,
