Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1222 - 1101: The Storm Is Coming!

Tianxu Imperial City, the capital of the Tianxu Dynasty, one of the Nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties.

As the capital of a grand, Eternal Imperial Dynasty, it is naturally the most prosperous place of the dynasty, and one of the most bustling cities on the Ancient God Continent, with a daily traffic of over ten million, exceedingly prosperous.

Everything seems so tranquil.

Yet, everyone knows that everything has changed; decades ago, the Tianxu Dynasty underwent a coup that shocked the entire Ancient God Continent.

At that time, the blood in the imperial palace of the imperial city soared to the sky, accompanied by terrifying anomalies, affecting far and wide. Countless palaces collapsed, a large portion of the Emperor City sunk, the Forbidden Army was fully deployed, and civilians suffered heavy casualties, a day of crimson sorrow.

On that day, a dozen Super Experts at the Saintly Treasure Realm perished, and there were even Saint Master Level big figures among them; all were members of the Tianxu Dynasty royal family. The loss was heavy, leaving the viable forces of a grand, Eternal Imperial Dynasty reduced by more than half.

Afterwards, it was revealed that all of this was a conspiracy, a powerful branch of the Tianxu royal family that seized the opportunity when the Heavenly King Ancestor and certain key forces went to the other side of the Chaos Sea, the Ancient Emperor Continent, plotting for years to seize royal power and dominate the grand, Eternal Imperial Dynasty.

Eventually, to suppress the bloodshed, the direct lineage of the Tianxu royal family actively contacted the Ancient Divine Palace, requesting support, which was granted, successfully quelling the turmoil and maintaining the royal power of the Tianxu royal family.

As a reward, the Tianxu royal family agreed to let the Ancient Divine Palace establish branches throughout the Tianxu Dynasty, and allowed people to worship the Ancient God.

This incident caused a sensation at the time, with many people feeling there was something fishy about it.

Because the branch family that initiated the bloody coup was historically loyal to the legitimate direct lineage of the royal family, trusted highly by them, and had ascended to significant power in the dynasty, having even held the position of King at times, but never seized complete control of the dynasty’s power. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Moreover, another crucial reason was that the direct lineage of the royal family possessed the dynasty’s main foundation, left by the Heavenly King Ancestor before leaving. Even if the strongest Heavenly King Ancestor departed, it could still suppress and quell the unrest, fearing nothing.

Though that branch was powerful, having produced Saint Lord Level characters over the generations, it still fell far short compared to the direct lineage of the royal family, making rebellion unlikely by all considerations.

Furthermore, the direct lineage of the royal family itself was sufficient to suppress and quell the unrest, so why seek assistance from the Ancient Divine Palace and provide such tremendous compensation? All of this left people bewildered.

However, the direct lineage of the royal family later proactively came out to refute the rumors, stating that the branch had long harbored treasonous intentions, planning for many years, only succeeding due to the absence of the Heavenly King Ancestor. Additionally, that branch controlled a terrifying weapon, enough to destroy everything, necessitating the plea for help from the Ancient Divine Palace.

For this reason, the cost paid was that in the following decades, many branches of the Ancient Divine Palace were established in numerous towns across the grand dynasty, with a towering Ancient God statue standing in practically every slightly significant town, encouraging people to worship the Ancient God.

And the Tianxu Dynasty not only did not resist, but instead adopted policies supporting the establishment and propagation of the Ancient Divine Palace branches and the worship of the Ancient God.

This faintly led people to sense an unusual atmosphere.

One must know that every great country is established to gain the Power of Faith and Luck Power; as for Wish Power, such mysterious force is rare and hard to acquire.

However, these two types of power are never lightly handed over by any ancient country, especially a grand, Eternal Imperial Dynasty; once the Ancient Divine Palace branches are established, allowing citizens to worship the Ancient God, it’s tantamount to stripping away much of the dynasty’s Power of Faith and even Luck Power—no one would do that.

Yet, the Tianxu Dynasty did so, which inevitably brings intrigue.

Especially some truly mindful individuals secretly investigating, revealing a shocking fact.

Following that coup, although the direct lineage regained victory, over the subsequent years, they gradually faded from the public eye, with new strong figures emerging, and more astonishingly, discovering the involvement of the Ancient Divine Palace’s elite taking over the dynasty’s power.

This was what the Nine Great Empires resisted in the past; however, it turned into tacit approval now.

All such events seem to prove a shocking conspiracy is unfolding in the shadows, making mindful individuals realize the terrifying nature of the entity behind it, withdrawing from investigations at the first instance.

Although aware, they consciously feigned ignorance due to the sheer terror; once exposed, it could result in the extermination of their families, with no one in the world able to withstand the massive entity.

In fact, with the lapse of time, the other Nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties face similar issues, either coups or royal power struggles, or other factors, ultimately seeking aid from the Ancient Divine Palace.

Reaching this point, even the dullest person understands what’s happening.

The Ancient Divine Palace has gradually occupied the Nine Great Empires, holding dynasty power, and invisibly the entire Ancient God Continent has fallen under the dominion of the Ancient Divine Palace.

This is unprecedented; the Nine Great Empires of the past, each having the existence of the Heavenly King Ancestor, collectively posed a threat to the Ancient Divine Palace, preventing true world unification.
