Thunderbolt: I Became the Human Emperor in the Bitter Realm

No one knew why the temple master preferred to be an observer rather than a participant. Of course, they didn't dare to ask too many questions and could only watch silently.

Besides, as long as the temple master is happy, they, as his subordinates, will naturally be happy too.

"By the way, how's the intelligence gathering going in various locations?"

"Lord, it's almost finished."

"Very good. Develop slowly, there's no need to rush to show yourselves. Our Seven Star Palace is the real trump card. Your strength also needs to be further improved, otherwise this is not enough."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do my best."

"Yes, I believe in your abilities. You will be satisfactory. Go ahead and improve steadily. There's no need to rush to show off. No rush."

Then the entire Seven Star Palace darkened, and all the figures vanished without a trace.

Within the Seven Star Dynasty, inside the imperial palace, a figure slowly stepped out.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Get up, there's no need to go any further, it's nothing serious, right?"

"Your Majesty, the dynasty is much more stable now and is working to eliminate other influences."

"Very good. By the way, what about Bei Chen Yuan Huang?"

The person did not die, but escaped. As for where he was taken, there is no news yet.

"Your Majesty, this person acted deliberately and did not gain much. I heard that he should no longer be in the northern corner."

"Is that so? Then let's go and find out where it is. It's best to get rid of this menace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Chi Fengyang naturally wielded considerable power, but he dared not neglect the emperor's orders.

Chen Yu nodded and walked into the Rising Dragon Hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

When Yu Jiefei and the others saw the Emperor arrive, they were all extremely respectful.

It not only decentralized power, but also brought peace and prosperity to the people, allowing the people in the northern corner of the country to finally settle down. This achievement was of great merit.

"My esteemed ministers, please rise. So, are there any remaining issues within the jurisdiction of the Seven Star Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the major problem is gone, but the dynasty's combat strength is still somewhat low and needs to be strengthened."

"That's natural. The dynasty has just been established and needs more talented people to build it. There aren't enough people like us."

Everyone fell silent. The emperor seemed to understand the pressure involved, but he did not panic.

"As I said, we must take it one step at a time. Talented individuals also need our own careful cultivation. If ten years is not enough, then a hundred, or even a thousand years. I would prefer a thousand years or even longer. Do you, my beloved ministers, understand what I mean?"

Everyone was shocked, and they all understood that the emperor's meaning was to establish a longer-lasting dynasty.

They were excited, but they also understood that the dynasty at this moment could not withstand any major storms. They could only proceed steadily, without being careless or attracting attention.

"As for Bei Chen Yuan Huang, let the righteous people of the Central Plains handle it; they will be happy to do so."

Since they don't need to take action, that's fine, after all, they are the former master.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It's normal that no one had any objections, given how many people suffered and how many died under the previous brutal tyranny.

Nobody cares about it anymore, and hopefully it can continue like this.

Many things cannot be decided easily, but one's thoughts can be discerned.

Chen Yu didn't care or mind; everyone has a compassionate heart, but it shouldn't go too far.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Such an outcome would raise countless doubts. With such abilities, it is naturally possible to see and achieve this.

In this world, there is no room for pity; only by living can one have the opportunity to give something away.

If you die, you have absolutely no chance.

At this moment, everyone understood one thing: the emperor's mind was not on the dynasty, but rather on becoming stronger.

Fortunately, this kind of strengthening doesn't require the dynasty to bear any burden; otherwise, it really wouldn't have been able to rise to power.

Chen Yu already knew this, so there was no need to ask further.

"Your Majesty, we will remember this wholeheartedly."

"Very good. You only need to handle the internal affairs of the Seven Star Dynasty. Do not interfere in the Central Plains or other places, and do not be arrogant. Our mission is very simple: to protect ordinary people."

Everyone nodded in agreement, deeply resonating with the sentiment.

The northern corner of the land was not large to begin with, and it was extremely remote. They did not want to get involved in any more trouble.

Moreover, the existence of the Seven Star Dynasty is very low-key, even in the northern corner of the country.

Therefore, few people know or understand what has changed in the Northern Corner, because the Northern Corner is still largely under the control of the Seven Star Dynasty. Border warriors are isolated from outside enemies, and even some inter-regional forces are excluded.

And so the Seven Star Dynasty quietly faded into obscurity.

It can be said that before he could even achieve his glory, he fell silent again. His purpose was completely unknown, though it was also something he sensed.

But no one knows what the outcome of this silence will be, and no one will ever know.

Yu Jiefei and the others knew this and were even more aware of the importance of recuperation and rest. They wholeheartedly agreed with the Emperor's determination.

As long as war doesn't strike, they are confident they can do even better.

This is something that can be seen.

Their strength has reached this level, and there's no need for further explanation.

The fact that everyone is united in their efforts is simply to make the Seven Star Dynasty more robust and not so easily shattered; that would be too foolish.

Chen Yu knew even more that the Central Plains was a land of cholera, and anyone who touched it would suffer disaster.

Chapter Eight: The Lonely Marquis

Inside the Seven Stars Hall, everyone gathered once again.

"Lord, the intelligence has been confirmed. It seems that the opening of the Otherworld Demon Realm is aimed at the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm."

"Hmm, very good. Let them fight it out, it's alright. By the way, what about the other side?"

"Palace Master, the Six Calamities Azure Dragon is already plotting a conspiracy, and we will just watch silently."

"Okay, just watch and don't overthink it. I'll wait patiently and not rush."

"Yes, Hall Master."

Just as Chen Yu was about to leave, Jian Wangxing suddenly said, "Reporting to the Palace Master, I wish to travel through the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm."

Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "It seems you can't stand the loneliness either. Very well, whoever wants to go can go. But remember, once you enter the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm, you must not use the name of the Seven Stars."

The seven stars responded in unison, "Yes, Lord, we understand."

They were all intelligent people and naturally understood the Palace Master's intentions; it could be said that everything was under the Palace Master's control.

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled then. But you still need to remember the tasks that need to be completed and report back at all times."

"Yes, Hall Master."

They all understood the Palace Master's meaning, so there was no need to deny it; they just needed to do their best.

They were all sensible people, so there was no need for any doubt; their purpose was obvious.

Soon the Seven Star Palace disappeared again, because everyone had gone out.

Chen Yu also planned to go out. As for the Seven Star Dynasty, he believed that with Yu Jiefei and the others there, there wouldn't be any major problems. He also preferred to wander around and gain more opportunities.

Yu Jiefei and the others had no choice but to accept that the emperor still had the mentality of a young man. It was already remarkable that he could establish such a foundation at such a young age.

This is not nonsense, but an answer that is bold beyond belief.

"Ah, Your Majesty, it's truly fortunate that you still enjoy honing your skills in the martial world."

"Indeed, the Emperor is also very good at using people. If it weren't for the Emperor, I would have been killed long ago."

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongyi was extremely grateful and at the same time worked hard to cultivate, as this was the Emperor's intention.

Even for civil officials, some martial arts skills are still necessary; otherwise, how can one become a master?

In order to better navigate the martial world, Chen Yu naturally knew how to conceal himself. With a single turn of the Ruyi Technique, he changed his identity. As for the Dual Extreme Heart Source, he also had a secondary identity, but he generally didn't use it.

However, this instance now exists within the Seven Star Palace, serving as a central hub for transmitting messages to him.

This is also a good method, to avoid being overwhelmed with other tasks.

"Everything is ready, let's set off for the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm, a place so full of disasters."

Chen Yu looked at the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm again. He had once walked out of it, and now he was simply going back. There was nothing wrong with that.

Foundation is one part, strength is another. While it's not an absolute certainty, it certainly represents a significant portion of formidable strength.

With key strengths at play, it's still a very good opportunity.

Strolling through it, one step is already far away, disappearing into the vast天地 (heaven and earth).
