Chapter 1273 - My Worthy Son-in-law, My Worthy Son-in-law (1/2)
The seating area in the main hall was for the most privileged ones where only those from the king realms were allowed to sit. Even the guests from the upper star realms didn’t have the qualifications to go in there.
Everyone from the Snow Song Realm were taken aback at the sudden development. But soon after, they didn’t feel too much surprise in their hearts, and instead found it “only natural”.
It was because Yun Che was definitely not an ordinary disciple of the Snow Song Realm now. His glorious performance in the Conferred God Battle had intensely stimulated the entire God Realm. Not only the god emperors, but even the Dragon Monarch himself had a strong desire to rope him in.
It would be absolutely reasonable for someone like him to receive such preferential treatment from the Moon God Realm!
But to everyone’s surprise, Yun Che shook his head in a clear display of refusal, as he said apologetically, “I’m quite thankful to the Moon God Emperor and the two of you for your kind intentions, but as this humble one is a disciple from the Snow Song Realm, I should sit together with the other people of my sect.”
The two moon guards revealed astonishment, but they didn’t insist any further, “In that case, we’ll respect Sir Yun’s wish. If Sir Yun has any instructions for us, please feel free to let us know without any reservations.”
“Please enter!”
The members from the Snow Song Realm also felt honored by the change in their attitude and their respectful tone of voice. Looking at Yun Che beside Mu Bingyun, who was standing in the front, all of them deeply sighed with emotion in their hearts… He was not in the least eye-catching when he had just entered the sect three years ago, but now, he had reached such heights that he had already surpassed everyone from the sect, and even the Snow Song Realm…
He alone had become the greatest glory of the Snow Song Realm.
“Brother Yun, over here!”
The moment he entered the place, he heard Huo Poyun’s joyful shout.
Those from the Flame God Ream had already settled down in their places, and only Huo Rulie, Yan Juehai and Huo Poyun sitting at the main table. The relationship between the Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm had subtly changed after the Conferred God Battle because of the fact that Yun Che possessed the powers of both the Golden Crow and the Phoenix.
Yun Che didn’t show any reservation and headed towards them with Mu Bingyun and Mu Huanzhi, as they sat at the same main table. Looking around them, the place was already packed with several million people.
The two parties greeted each other, after which Huo Poyun asked impatiently, “Brother Yun, what kind of place is the Star God Realm? Does it also seem illusory like the Moon God Realm?”
Yun Che nodded his head, “Moon God Realm is enshrouded with moonlight, and the sky of the Star God Realm is fully covered with stars. Thinking about it now, it certainly gives off an illusory feeling, too.”
“Then… have you learned Star God’s Broken Shadow?”
“Mn, I’ve attained some success in its practice.”
“Did the Heavenly Slaughter Star God really teach you personally? How does the Heavenly Slaughter Star God look? It is said that she is super fearsome. Were you… um, alright staying over there?”
“…The Heavenly Slaughter Star God is not as fearsome as the rumors say.”
“But, I heard that during the second year after she inherited the divine power, the Heavenly Slaughter Star God massacred tens of thousands of people in one of the star regions of the Moon God Realm, and after that…”
“Cough cough, don’t presumptuously discuss the affairs between king realms.” Huo Rulie cut off Huo Poyun’s words with a low voice. “This place is the Moon God Realm, you know.”
“…Understood.” Huo Poyun stopped speaking any further.
Listening to the talk between Yun Che and Huo Poyun, Mu Bingyun slightly raised the corner of her lips. There was no one who knew or would believe the extremely deep bond between the Heavenly Slaughter Star God and Yun Che. It was even more difficult to believe that when he was still just a ten-odd year old boy in the lower realms, Yun Che had accompanied this star god, who was so feared in the God Realm, day and night.
“Yun Che,” Yan Juehai called out, as he said in a very low but serious tone of voice. “There’s something that I still don’t get.”
“The ‘Goddess’ may be the most beautiful woman in the universe, but if you were to be close to her, it would cause countless people to hate you out of jealousy. Therefore, you refusing the proposal of the Brahma Heaven God Emperor might be the right choice. Why would you refuse the Dragon Emperor and the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, though?”
“This junior has his own considerations for choosing to do so.” Yun Che also replied in a serious voice.
Due to the connection of the Phoenix flame, Yan Juehai had subconsciously begun to feel closer to Yun Che now. He said as he looked at Yun Che, “Although I don’t know the reason behind your choice, you absolutely must not underestimate the effect of the sensation you caused during the Conferred God Battle. It'd be even more unwise to underestimate the meaning of being favored by these god emperors. You may not be aware of this but there has never been a youngster that has stood out as much as you, even when considering the entire history of the God Realm.”
Yan Juehai sounded as if he was exaggerating things, but no one revealed astonishment on their face. It was because all of them knew that he had spoken the truth.
“It might make you guys uncomfortable for me to say this, but Yun Che is no longer an existence that the Snow Song Realm can have. Yun Che, you are an ownerless individual in the eyes of a lot of people. I believe you’re well aware of what would happen if the shiniest pearl since time immemorial were to appear without any owner. The Snow Song Realm cannot keep you safe, and it’s even more impossible for you to protect yourself… The thing you need the most right now is to have a powerful enough backing, or be affiliated to such a party.”
There was quite similarity between Yan Juehai’s words and Jasmine’s warning to him.
Huo Rulie also nodded slowly, “Be it becoming the direct disciple of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor or becoming the adopted son of the Dragon Monarch, both of them are absolutely good choices.”
No one from the Snow Song Realm side said anything in rebuttal. They say that treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime, and having such a person as Yun Che was such a monstrous crime that it would cause a sensation across the entire God Realm.
Yun Che nodded his head, as he said in a very calm manner, “I thank both sect masters for the advice. This junior is going to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm for now, and will plan what to do after leaving the Eternal Heaven Pearl.”
“Mn.” Having said their piece, Huo Rulie and Yan Juehai didn’t say anything more on the matter.
Haah… Looking at Yun Che first before shifting his gaze to Huo Poyun, Huo Rulie let out a long sigh in his heart. The two of them were close in age, but Huo Poyun almost had his conviction quashed after suffering crushing defeat during the Conferred God Battle. On the other hand, despite the fact that Yun Che was continuously in limelight and also had an unimaginably huge pressure on him, he was calm like an old monk.
Moreover, even if their strength was not taken into consideration, there was still a world of difference between their mental states.
More and more guests arrived, and the enormous outer seating area was accommodating all the visitors from the middle star realms and the lower star realms. But there was no doubt that the place that was getting the most attention was where the Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm were seated.
It was because there was no one in the Eastern Divine Region who didn’t know of the name “Snow Song Realm” now.
Due to Huo Poyun, and even more because of Yun Che, the Flame God Realm had also become quite well-known. Especially, the Golden Crow flame and the Phoenix flame had once again made everyone aware of the might of divine flames on the Conferred God Stage… On the contrary, only a few remembered the Vermilion Bird flame which was the strongest of the three divine flames.
Besides, the only two people from the middle star realms who had successfully entered the Conferred God Battle were from the Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm. Furthermore, Yun Che had also become the pride of all the young profound practitioners of the middle and lower star realms. It was due to him thoroughly ending the “monopoly” of the upper star realms when it came to the Conferred God Battle. It made them feel an unprecedented level of elatedness.
Countless ambiguous or blazing gazes were focused towards the two star realms, containing various emotions like envy, reverence, admiration, and of course, jealousy as well. There was no doubt that most of these gazes were directed towards Yun Che.
“Flying Star Realm has arrived!”
