The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Donghua frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I wonder when you plan to take the throne and become the new Heavenly Sovereign? This matter cannot be delayed. The Dragon Clan is currently in a state of panic, leaderless. Many are already becoming restless and vying for the Heavenly Sovereign's position. They haven't even considered whether they are qualified!"

Ziyou looked determined and said decisively: "Things have come to this point. There is no need to delay and wait any longer. As the saying goes, it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's set it for tomorrow!" Her words revealed a boldness and decisiveness.

Donghua raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and responded with a hint of sarcasm: "Hearing you say that, I almost thought you couldn't wait to take over immediately." His words revealed his understanding of Ziyou's eagerness.

Ziyou smiled lightly and explained, "Although there really isn't much to prepare, I still hope to have a good rest to recuperate my mental state and ensure that everything goes well." Obviously, for the important moment that is about to come, she attaches great importance to her own energy reserves.

The next morning, at first light, news spread like wildfire—today was the day the new Celestial Sovereign would officially ascend the throne and undergo his trials. This news thrilled countless immortals, who flocked to the vicinity of Xingtai in anticipation, eager to witness this rare and grand spectacle. After all, the previous Celestial Sovereign had inherited the throne from their father and had not yet experienced the rigors of celestial thunder and wildfire. Consequently, the area surrounding Xingtai was teeming with throngs of immortals.

Before Donghua and Ziyou arrived, the place was already bustling with people and noise...

Someone asked curiously, "Do you know who this new Heavenly Monarch is?"

Another person shook his head, indicating he didn't know: "I've never heard of any earth-shattering figure appearing in the Dragon Clan."

Someone else speculated, "Could it be the Immortal Diefeng, the great disciple of Supreme God Mo Yuan who has made great military achievements?"

Others echoed: "It wouldn't be bad if it was him."

Another person added: "No, I heard it was a golden dragon that was on good terms with the Supreme God Zhe Yan."

The person next to him asked curiously, "Who is that?"

For a while, various discussions arose one after another, and people were full of expectations and curiosity about this mysterious new Heavenly Emperor.

Until I saw Emperor Donghua and a young girl in purple walking lightly towards me. She was extremely graceful and beautiful. The purple clothes on her body seemed to be shrouded in a thin purple smoke, making her look hazy and stunningly beautiful.

Although Ziyou has been in Taichen Palace for these years, she rarely goes out. Even when she goes to the Ten-Mile Peach Forest, she is rarely seen in public. Therefore, few people have seen her so far. When everyone sees Ziyou, they are all amazed at her beauty, and the noisy voices gradually quiet down.

Emperor Donghua stepped forward and said loudly, "Today is the day Ziyou will succeed the throne of Heavenly Sovereign. Before that, she must pass the tests of nine heavenly thunders and eighty-one wildfires."

Just as the words fell, the previously clear, cloudless sky suddenly darkened, and the sound of lightning and thunder filled the air. Nine thunderbolts, each as thick as a bucket, swooped down from the clouds like nine ferocious dragons, baring their fangs and claws, striking down with devastating force!

Faced with such a terrifying sight, Zi You showed no fear. She soared into the air like a flash of purple lightning, facing the thunder that rolled down from the sky. She softly opened her red lips and muttered something. As the incantation rang out, a dazzling purple light suddenly emanated from her body. This light protected her tightly like an indestructible shield, withstanding the ferocious bombardment of the thunder.

However, the thunder from that sky seemed endless, striking down one after another. Each thunderbolt contained enough power to rip the void apart. Even with the purple light protecting her body, Zi You's face gradually turned as pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. But she always gritted her teeth and persevered, refusing to give up.

Finally, after a long and thrilling ordeal, all nine thunderbolts had struck. But before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, an even more terrifying test arrived—eighty-one blazing wildfires swept over like a prairie fire!

The wildfires were incredibly intense, reducing everything in their path to ash. Ziyou, caught in the sea of ​​flames, danced like a fluttering butterfly, dodging left and right, struggling to navigate the gaps between the flames. Though her hair and clothes were shredded by the blaze, her beautiful eyes shone with an ever-stronger determination.

As the last of the wildfire slowly died down, the exhausted Ziyou finally couldn't hold herself up anymore and fell to the ground like a withered petal. Emperor Donghua, who had been waiting nearby, was quick to act and rushed forward to steady her shaky body.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding immortals were filled with excitement and ecstasy. They cheered with abandon, celebrating the emergence of this new generation of Heavenly Monarch in the most enthusiastic way! The entire scene was extremely lively, with cheers and applause resounding through the sky, echoing for a long time...

Ziyou slowly stood up with Donghua's support. Her eyes were tired, but still gleamed with determination.

"Thank you all!" Zi You's voice, a slightly hoarse yet melodious sound like the sound of nature, reached everyone's ears as clearly as a yellow oriole escaping a valley. Her beautiful eyes swept across the audience with a firm and confident gaze, and she spoke slowly, "I will live up to your expectations and give my all to fulfill my duties and mission as a Heavenly Monarch. I will strive to be the best I can be!"

At that moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly descended from the sky, its momentum like a rainbow piercing the sun, dazzling the eyes. In the blink of an eye, this dazzling golden light transformed into a crystal-clear jade ring, landing steadily in Ziyou's delicate hand. The jade ring was emerald green, as smooth as jade, and was meticulously inlaid with several gemstones that shimmered with a strange light, as if it contained endless mysteries and secrets.

Donghua, who was standing by, saw this and explained softly to Ziyou, "This is a token from the Emperor of Heaven. With it, you can mobilize the vast and infinite power of heaven and earth at will, and shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding the peace and stability of the three realms." His words were full of expectations for Ziyou.

Ziyou couldn't help but feel awe upon hearing these words. She carefully placed the incomparably precious jade ring on her snow-white wrist. Suddenly, she felt a surge of powerful and majestic energy surge through her heart like a surging tide. This power, like an overwhelming force, made her blood boil and her spirits soar.
