After having received the war machine, Lin Jiufeng seemed a little disappointed.
“He’s a sect leader after all…”
“He’s the previous sect leader of such a sect that existed for several eras. But to think that I would receive such a thing after signing in at his tomb.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
The war machine was indeed very powerful.
If it was activated, even Lin Jiufeng would have to spend a considerable amount of time dealing with it.
But…
How was it useful to Lin Jiufeng?
He already had such a ‘war machine’ back then, he had played with something like this decades ago.
Back then, it was barely useful to him.
But now, it wasn’t useful at all.
“Well, it’s better than nothing. When the time comes, I’ll just send it to Emperor De. I reckon that it can help suppress any turmoil in the Yuhua God Dynasty. This way, I won’t have to do anything and I can continue to cultivate in peace.”
Lin Jiufeng could only console himself in this manner.
He had to cultivate diligently to reach the peak of cultivation in this world.
Only then could he revive Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.
This was Lin Jiufeng’s ultimate goal.
Returning to the Cold Palace with the war machine, the white cat looked at the three-meter tall war machine in surprise.
The war machine’s eyes were closed and lifeless.
He walked along with Lin Jiufeng.
Whenever Lin Jiufeng stopped, he would stop.
He did no other actions nor expressed any other expression on his face.
“What is that?” The white cat asked curiously.
“This is… this is a war machine. It isn’t useful to us, so I am planning on handing it over to Emperor De. This should help him to stabilize the tumultuous state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”
Lin Jiufeng explained.
“Oh.” Upon hearing that it wouldn’t be of much help to them, the white cat lost her interest.
She curled up on the frost jade bed and continued to cultivate. She was preparing for her eventual breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
Lin Jiufeng, on the other hand, sent a voice transmission to Emperor De.
“Come to the Cold Palace!”
Emperor De jolted awake.
He ignored the state affairs and stood up in excitement.
The voice he heard came from his Big Grand-Uncle!
He had never seen Lin Jiufeng’s true appearance just yet.
Princess Yulin brought him into the Cold Palace once.
After that, he didn’t have a chance to go in since then.
Even when he asked Lin Jiufeng for help that time, he stopped just short of entering the Cold Palace.
But now that Lin Jiufeng had called for him, Emperor De was naturally excited.
Putting down everything in his hands, he hurriedly left the Forbidden City and came to the gates of the Cold Palace on his own.
“Greetings, Big Grand-Uncle!” Emperor De greeted respectfully.
“Come in,” Lin Jiufeng said.
Emperor De immediately composed himself.
He took a deep breath and entered the dilapidated Cold Palace.
Passing through a few corridors, he saw a quiet courtyard.
In front of the courtyard were two cherry trees that were now bald due to the changing seasons.
Two figures stood under the cherry trees.
It was Lin Jiufeng and a tall giant.
Emperor De knew this place.
Princess Yulin had brought him here before.
It was here that he discovered the true identity of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
“Big Grand-Uncle!”
Emperor De greeted Lin Jiufeng who looked like an immortal that had been banished into this mortal realm.
“This is the first time that we’ve met,” Lin Jiufeng said calmly.
“This grandnephew has been unfilial,” Emperor De said obsequiously.
In the Forbidden City, he was a domineering emperor.
But in front of Lin Jiufeng, he was a mere junior.
“I’m going into seclusion.” Lin Jiufeng looked at Emperor De.
Emperor De fell into a daze.
The situation in this world was becoming more and more chaotic as time went by.
Of course, Emperor De did his best to solve every problem that popped up while creating opportunities for the dynasty’s development
But all of this relied on the fact that the Yuhua God Dynasty had a terrifying guardian deity.
Lin Jiufeng rarely lent his help, but despite that, he had already become world-renowned.
Those who wanted to deal with the Yuhua God Dynasty had to consider Lin Jiufeng’s existence.
As for those who truly wanted to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty—such as those demons at the Supremacy Realm yesterday…
Lin Jiufeng could still kill them with a single move.
Lin Jiufeng himself gave Emperor De infinite confidence.
But now that Lin Jiufeng was about to enter seclusion, Emperor De became silent for a moment.
Then, he cupped his fists and bowed. “This grandnephew wishes Big Grand-Uncle success!”
Lin Jiufeng chuckled and added. “This seclusion might take about 30 years!”
Emperor De’s joy then turned into shock.
He thought that Lin Jiufeng’s seclusion would only take about a few years—at most ten years.
But he didn’t expect it to be 30 years.
“It’s still the same for me…”
“I wish Grand-Uncle success in his seclusion.” But Emperor De still wished him all the best.
“Will you be able to maintain the stability of the Yuhua God Dynasty without me?”
Lin Jiufeng directly asked about the crux of the matter.
The Yuhua God Dynasty’s stability might seem to be all because of Emperor De’s ability. But all of these were on the surface. In reality, Lin Jiufeng was the one that had suppressed the entire world and forced them to kneel before the Yuhua God Dynasty.
If Lin Jiufeng were to enter seclusion for so long, the Yuhua God Dynasty might be destroyed before he could complete his seclusion.
It was because no matter how capable Emperor De was, he was still unable to manipulate the fate of the Yuhua God Dynasty in this brand-new era.
Lin Jiufeng entering seclusion for 30 years was a life and death challenge for Emperor De.
“Big Grand-Uncle has already helped me and the Yuhua God Dynasty a lot. In the end, I still am the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, not the Big Grand-Uncle. Thus, it’s my responsibility to do my best to maintain the stability of the dynasty. Big Grand-Uncle can rest assured and enter seclusion.” Emperor De took a deep breath before he replied.
It has been ten years since he ascended to the throne.
From a young and inexperienced youth, he had turned into a wise emperor.
“You didn’t disgrace both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming. You are a very responsible emperor.” Lin Jiufeng praised.
“Do you see this?” Lin Jiufeng pointed at the war machine.
Emperor De looked at the three-meter tall war machine.
The war machine’s face was expressionless as ever, and the muscles on his body seemed to be surging with life. His entire existence seemed to be a paradox itself, but looking at him made one feel a strange sense of oppression.
“This is the war machine that I’ve prepared for you. He’s very powerful. Activate him, and he will be able to suppress everyone in this brand-new era for a long period of time.” Lin Jiufeng explained.
Emperor De’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you, Big Grand-Uncle.” Emperor De directly knelt.
He was touched by Lin Jiufeng’s gesture.
Even though this Big Grand-Uncle of his was going into seclusion, he still didn’t forget to prepare a trump card for him.
“The war machine is still inactive, take him away. Remember, you have to learn from your father and your grandfather when it comes to treating the common people. As long as you are the emperor for a day, you must always think about the people for a day, do you understand?”
Lin Jiufeng instructed.
“I know that the world will soon be in chaos. I don’t ask for anything else, I am just hoping to maintain the stability of the dynasty and ensure the safety of its people.” Emperor De expressed his firm determination to Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng looked at him in satisfaction.
From Emperor Yuan to Emperor Ming and then to Emperor De…
The three emperors of the Yuhua God Dynasty have been outstanding so far.
It could be said that their existence was a blessing to the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
It was because they were outstanding that Lin Jiufeng had the motivation to protect the Yuhua God Dynasty.
If the one that became the Emperor was a lazy and poor emperor, Lin Jiufeng would have long ignored the affairs of the world and continued his daily routine in peace.
“Take the war machine and leave. In the next 30 years, you’ll have to depend on yourself.” Lin Jiufeng raised his hand and tapped.
A stream of True Qi entered Emperor De’s mind.
It contained information as to how to control the war machine.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Emperor De respectfully kowtowed to Lin Jiufeng three times before he left the Cold Palace with the war machine.
Once he was outside the Cold Palace, he closed the gates of the palace himself.
With a bang, the gates closed…
Emperor De looked at the closed gates of the Cold Palace.
Then, he took a deep breath.
“In the future, I will have to rely on myself.”
Emperor De looked at the war machine.
This was his new source of confidence.
…
In the Cold Palace, the white cat appeared.
Meow!
“Are you really going into seclusion for 30 years?” The white cat asked.
“Yes. I want to thoroughly investigate the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the next 30 years. I am also planning on fusing every technique that I have learned so far into one invincible technique that I can call my own…” Lin Jiufeng explained.
“Then, what if the Yuhua God Dynasty was destroyed in the next 30 years?”
The white cat asked.
“Then, I suppose it’s the fate of the Yuhua God Dynasty…”
“I can’t possibly protect the Yuhua God Dynasty forever.” Lin Jiufeng let out a sigh and replied.
He had already made arrangements and even gave Emperor De a trump card.
As for what happened after that, it would depend on how Emperor De managed the dynasty.
In the next 30 years or so, Lin Jiufeng didn’t plan to lend a helping hand.
