Chapter 238: The Atlas Emperor, Comprehending Another Law: Destiny!
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Dai Mubai chuckled and immediately began mocking him.
"Dean Yu, you need to calm down. How does that saying go again? If you want to accomplish great things, you can't be so impatient."
Hearing Dai Mubai's ridicule, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were standing nearby, both covered their mouths and snickered, though they didn't dare be too blatant.
As for Yu Xiaogang, his old face flushed red, and his heart was instantly filled with rage.
What an utterly disrespectful student.
He was going to report this to Flender and have him properly discipline Dai Mubai.
"Dai Mubai, just you wait!"
After leaving behind those words, Yu Xiaogang stormed off to find Flender, looking exactly like a wronged young wife.
Watching Yu Xiaogang leave, Dai Mubai thought of the Star Luo Empire, and his emotions gradually shifted into worry.
The Star Luo Empire had fallen.
Then what about the Star Luo royal family?
Had they been wiped out as well?
As a former prince of the Star Luo Empire, would he also be hunted down by the Spirit Empire?
Dai Mubai was afraid.
He wasn't worried about the safety of the Star Luo royal family.
He was afraid they would drag him down with them.
All he wanted was to indulge himself every day in luxury and pleasure, living a drunken life.
Meanwhile...
Over the past few days, the Spirit Empire had been established, the former two great empires had fallen one after another, and every major power across the Douluo Continent had submitted to it.
The entire Douluo Continent had finally been completely unified.
The day of that great unification was also the day Yun Yuan was officially crowned Emperor of the Spirit Empire.
Spirit City.
A towering platform nearly one hundred meters tall.
Representatives of every major force on the continent had gathered beneath it.
The once lofty imperial nobles, sect elders, sect masters, and heads of prestigious clans...
Had all shed their former arrogance.
Dressed in orderly court robes, they stood below the platform according to rank.
The crowd was deathly silent.
No one dared utter even the slightest sound.
Every pair of eyes was firmly fixed upon the platform before them.
At the very center of the platform stood an unmatched imperial throne.
The breeze was still.
Heaven and earth were silent.
Endless rays of dawn poured down from the horizon, their golden-red brilliance enveloping the entire platform.
The drifting clouds came to a halt.
Even the wind fell silent.
Even the soul power between heaven and earth flowed slowly, as though all creation patiently awaited the arrival of its new sovereign.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, a tall and peerless figure slowly stepped onto the white jade staircase.
Yun Yuan wore a specially crafted Ninefold Black-Gold Dragon Robe.
Its pitch-black fabric was embroidered with countless golden threads, forming majestic five-clawed golden dragons.
With every step he took, golden light flowed across the robe without end, radiating incomparable majesty and dominance.
The wide hem of the robe trailed across the stone steps, brushing over carvings of mountains and rivers while naturally exuding the overwhelming aura of a ruler who commanded the world.
His black hair was tied neatly behind him, secured only by a simple violet-gold imperial crown.
His handsome features were cold and resolute.
His eyes were as deep as the boundless sea and sky.
His bearing overlooked mountains and rivers as he gazed down upon countless generations.
His steps were calm and steady.
Each step seemed capable of stirring the winds and clouds.
The hundred stone steps were crossed in an instant.
The moment Yun Yuan stood atop the platform before the imperial throne, a mighty wind suddenly swept through heaven and earth.
Boundless rays of light converged upon his body.
Golden brilliance radiated in every direction, making him appear like the supreme emperor honored by heaven and earth alike.
"Today, in accordance with the will of all living beings, I ascend the imperial throne, receive the crown of an emperor, and rule over the boundless lands of the Douluo Continent!"
The instant his words fell, ceremonial salutes thundered across heaven and earth.
The sound shook the skies.
Below him, ministers, soldiers, and commoners all bowed deeply.
A tsunami-like roar of worship erupted.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Wave after wave of reverent cries echoed without end.
They spread across every corner of the land, shaking mountains and rivers alike.
The moment he officially ascended the throne, Yun Yuan, seated upon the imperial throne, suddenly entered a state of enlightenment.
The elusive Law of Destiny that had always been beyond his grasp now rested within his hands, allowing him to comprehend it to his heart's content.
Only a brief moment passed.
When Yun Yuan opened his eyes once more, his understanding of the Law of Destiny, a law he had never comprehended before, had already reached the Major Completion stage.
He was only one step away from perfection.
"So this is the true benefit of establishing the Spirit Empire."
"A law I had never comprehended before reached major completion in an instant."
"As expected..."
"Opportunity far surpasses hard work."
Before unifying the Douluo Continent and ascending the throne as the Atlas Emperor,
Yun Yuan had never imagined that becoming the ruler of an empire could be so wonderful.
Of course, this was also thanks to his astonishing comprehension.
The moment the immense destiny of the nation gathered, he entered enlightenment.
...
Several days later.
Atlas Hall.
"Minister Zhu, what matter do you wish to report?"
Yun Yuan looked calmly at the kneeling Patriarch of the Zhu Clan.
"Your Majesty, seeing that Your Majesty works day and night tirelessly without anyone by your side to attend to you, this humble servant has been deeply worried."
"This humble servant has two daughters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing."
"They are both exceptionally beautiful, possess outstanding figures, and are highly skilled in serving others."
"I thought that if my two daughters could remain by Your Majesty's side, they might ease some of Your Majesty's burdens."
After speaking, the Zhu Clan Patriarch lowered himself completely to the ground, not daring to utter another word as he quietly awaited Yun Yuan's response.
Hearing his proposal, Yun Yuan's thoughts drifted.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing...
He was indeed rather curious about them.
Could the women of the Zhu Clan truly possess such extraordinary talent?
"Minister Zhu's goodwill..."
"This Emperor accepts."
Hearing Yun Yuan's answer, the Zhu Clan Patriarch couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's grace."
"My daughters will certainly serve Your Majesty with utmost devotion."
Soon, evening arrived.
The Zhu sisters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, entered the imperial palace.
The moment they saw Yun Yuan, they immediately bowed respectfully.
"May Your Majesty enjoy everlasting peace."
The moment Yun Yuan saw the two sisters, it wasn't that he intentionally observed them.
Their talent was simply so astonishing that it couldn't escape his notice.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing had yet to mature fully, her talent was only slightly inferior to Ye Qingxian's and roughly comparable to Bo Saixi's.
Among Yun Yuan's wives, Ye Qingxian possessed the greatest talent.
After all… She was a healer.
Those who understood, understood.
As for the one with the lowest talent, there was no need to mention her.
Naturally, it was the adorably fierce Ice Empress.
Even now, her talent remains merely ordinary.
Although she had worked extremely hard to improve herself, she still hadn't made much progress.
If she were to see Zhu Zhuqing's talent, she would probably cry from envy.
As for the fully matured Zhu Zhuyun...
Her talent was simply astonishing.
Even Yun Yuan couldn't help but feel genuinely shocked.
Across from him, Zhu Zhuqing noticed the faint look of astonishment on Yun Yuan's face.
She couldn't help feeling puzzled.
Nothing seemed to have happened just now.
But Zhu Zhuyun, who was older and more mature, appeared to have sensed something.
Her gaze slowly lowered.
She couldn't even see the tips of her own feet.
She was naturally well aware that her "talent" far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"Could it be..."
"Has my exceptional talent astonished even His Majesty the Emperor?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help feeling both proud and excited.
There were fewer than ten people in the entire world capable of making the Atlas Emperor before her took notice.
And by sheer luck, she, Zhu Zhuyun, had become one of them.
Who wouldn't feel proud in such a situation?
After all...
The Atlas Emperor was the highest mountain and the longest river among all the legends of the Douluo Continent.
