1142 The Night Before Leaving
The matter in the Tongxuan Continent was gradually coming to an end. Everyone was preparing to go to the Desolate Region. As the time to leave approached, everyone became more and more excited. At the same time, they were a little reluctant too.
The night before they left, Ye Jiushang came to the palace to play chess and chat with the Emperor.
The Emperor seemed to have had a premonition that Ye Jiushang was about to leave. He also knew that Ye Jiushang was here to say goodbye tonight, so his emotions were very complicated.
He could not bear for Ye Jiushang, who provided protection, to leave, but at the same time, he could not wait for Ye Jiushang, a person with extraordinary strength, to leave. Such a contradictory heart made him very uncomfortable. He did not know what to say.
Ye Jiushang went straight to the point and said whatever was on his mind. “I will leave tomorrow. I might not return for a long time. Even if I return, I don’t know when it will be. Perhaps you will be gone by then. Before I leave, I will give you a few words of advice. If you want the Ye Dynasty’s to reign for the next thousand years, it’s best to be an open-minded ruler and choose a correct and suitable heir. Otherwise, the change of the dynasty will happen soon.”
He had already been generous enough to the Ye Dynasty. This was all because of the late Emperor. Otherwise, he would not care about the life and death of the Ye Dynasty.
However, no empire could last forever. As for how far they could go, that would depend on their own luck.
Even he, the Master god, could not always be glorious. Not long ago, he had experienced one calamity after another. If he had not successfully transcended the calamity, he might have already died.
Hence, it was impossible for him to give the promise of making the Ye Dynasty invincible.
“When Father was alive, he told me that you could not stay here forever, so he asked me not to fight with you for anything, because you don’t care at all. Father also said that as long as you are around, you can protect the Ye Dynasty from being undefeated for a thousand years and even let the Ye Dynasty’s royal family reach the peak. In the past, I did not believe all of this, but with the strength you displayed, I slowly believed it. When I was under house arrest by the Empress, I was not afraid at all, because I knew that you would definitely come and save me.”
“This is a promise I made to the previous Emperor. You don’t have to think too much. From now on, the Ye Dynasty will depend on you. I can guarantee here that the Black Shadow Guards, the Nine Cloud Palace, and the Purple Cloud Tower will not casually interfere with the royal family unless someone from the royal family has to be eliminated.”
“That’s fine.”
“I’m leaving. Take care.” After Ye Jiushang placed the last piece, he stood up and left. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared.
The Emperor was already used to Ye Jiushang coming and going without a trace. His gaze remained on the chessboard. He felt that the chessboard Ye Jiushang had left for him was not simple, so he stored it in his interspatial ring as if it was a treasure.
From now on, the Ye Dynasty would probably no longer have the Ninth Lord and the Ninth Imperial Uncle.
The next morning, the Imperial City was as usual. Nothing happened. Everyone lived their normal lives, but some people left.
Bai Wuchen sat by a window on the fifth floor of the Purple Cloud Tower and looked out of the city gate. He had a dream in his heart, a dream to fly out of the Tongxuan Continent.
From now on, he had to work hard for his dream. He had to be like those people and go to a higher place to see a wider world.
Apart from important people inside, no one else knew that the Purple Cloud Tower had changed its owner, so everything in the building went on as usual.
