The Legend of Futian Chapter 2777 - The Crisis of Political Marriage

Chapter 2777 The Crisis of Political Marriage

There was temporary peace in the world after the War of the Six Realms. Although cultivators across the known realms would stir up conflicts from time to time, they did not cause any chaos. After all, they were just a bunch of disunited rabbles without Emperor-level forces turning the tide of war.

Ye Futian did not drown himself in cultivation during that time. Instead, he invited cultivators from Ziwei Segmentum and Nine Supreme Regions to Ruins Continent by repeatedly opening the portal between realms and leading them to the destination. In doing so, more cultivators had the chance to enter the Ruins Continent for their cultivation.

Even though they were not powerful enough to fight for the cultivation resources with other stronger individuals, the concentration level of spiritual Qi on the land was incomparable with the other realms. As the spiritual Qi in G.o.ds’ Continent increased and expanded unceasingly, it eventually covered every known region in Original Realm. Even the cultivators in 3,000 Realms of the Great Path had already noticed the changes in this part of the world.

No one knew what would happen at the end of the line. They were unsure if that change had anything to do with the prophecy of Buddha of Destiny.

That day, Fang Gai brought a piece of big news to the people in Ye Imperial Palace. Gossips about the information had already been spread even before the War of the Six Realms.

The Human Realm’s representative, Di Hao, proposed to the princess of Donghuang Imperial Palace, Donghuang Diyuan. The former wanted a political marriage between the Human Realm and the Divine Prefecture. Words spread like wildfire among the cultivators in Ruins Continent and caused an uproar.

All the Six Realms were shaken to their very core. Rumor had it that all the imperial palaces had set their eyes on this topic, including several Great Emperors.

According to some scoops, the said Great Emperors had already made their way to Donghuang Imperial Palace in the Divine Prefecture to see the outcome of the political marriage.

If that political marriage came to pa.s.s, it would bring about a new era.

Ye Futian was surprised after hearing the news. All the key figures in Ye Imperial Palace gathered for a meeting right after knowing about it. They were all focused on it, although it was somewhat unrelated to some of them. After all, the impact of the story was too significant.

Ye Futian looked at the ground below from the sky stairwell of Ye Imperial Palace. Many people could be seen rus.h.i.+ng in his direction. Immediately, he knew words had already gotten out.

“I presume all of you have heard about it?” Ye Futian asked.

“That’s right.” Everyone nodded in unison.

“What do you think about this?” Ye Futian questioned. They had a conflict with the cultivators from the Human Realm and the Divine Prefecture previously. Should the political marriage occur, it would not be a good thing for Ye Futian and Ye Imperial Palace.

“The entire cultivation world was taken aback by the prophecy of Buddha of Destiny a while ago. Donghuang the Great’s Fate of the Emperor is only 500 years. If that turns out to be true, he did not have much time left. Human Realm’s marriage proposal is a sensitive topic at this time of day. Human Ancestor is sending a message saying that he is willing to work hand in hand with Donghuang the Great to face uncertainty,” Emperor Nan remarked.

“Yeah.” Lord Taixuan nodded. “If Donghuang the Great is wary of the prophecy, forming an alliance with Human Realm through political marriage does more good than harm. Even if something were to happen to him, Donghuang Diyuan would still have a place to belong. Human Realm picks the perfect timing.”

The Six Realms were divided into two sides previously; each formed their alliance. Yet, a union as such could not hold a candle to one created through political marriage.

Human Ancestor was sending a message through this.

“Do you think Donghuang the Great will agree to this proposal?” Ye Futian queried. Everyone had a stern expression immediately after hearing that.

However, they were not the only people who were pondering this question. At that point, every cultivator in Ruins Continent, including the elites in the Six Realms, was doing the same.

Everyone was waiting for the answer.

Countless cultivators in Ruins Continent talked about this topic after hearing this news while waiting for the latest update from Divine Prefecture. No matter what the answer might be, it would undoubtedly cause yet another tumult.

It did not matter if Donghuang the Great agreed to the proposal or not. Either way, it would still change the course of the Six Realms’ future.

If Donghuang the Great agreed, their alliance would become stronger. But if he declined, their coalition would fall apart.

Many cultivators were gathered under the gateway from Divine Prefecture to Ruins Continent. They were all waiting to hear the answer. Once the people in Divine Prefecture got the word, they would bring the news to Ruins Continent first.

All the cultivators engaged in battles declared a ceasefire after getting to know about this. Through this alone, one could imagine how huge the impact of the news was.

After hearing Ye Futian’s question, Emperor Nan replied, “I think Donghuang the Great will turn it down.”

Emperor Nan had always revered Donghuang the Great. Apart from the clash of the Twin Great Emperors, the latter did not have any shortcomings. Although the former was considered the enemy of Divine Prefecture after following Ye Futian, he still thought Donghuang the Great would decline the proposal.

“I seconded that,” Lord Taixuan stated.

“He will decline,” a voice said; it was the former palace lord of West Imperial Palace of Divine Prefecture’s Ancient G.o.d Clan.

“Human Ancestor plans to restrain Donghuang the Great through this proposal. I tell you, it’s impossible. Donghuang the Great will reject him,” he added. The tone of his voice was brimmed with confidence. After all, as the helmsman of Ancient G.o.d Clan, he understood Donghuang the Great pretty well.

Many people voiced their opinions. Yet, all of them thought that Donghuang the Great would decline. Ye Futian was taken by surprise upon hearing that. It seemed like Donghuang the Great had impacted many people with his incredible charisma.

“Let’s go out and wait for the news,” Ye Futian uttered. After that, he led his people out of Ye Imperial Palace all the way to Outer Realms to wait for the result from the Divine Prefecture.

The people over there might have gotten the news, but it would take some time for word to reach here.

After some time, a clamor was heard from afar while a silhouette could be seen rus.h.i.+ng toward them. Meanwhile, someone was heard yelling, “He rejected!”

A hint of astonishment flashed across Ye Futian’s eyes. The result was exactly like what the others predicted. Donghuang the Great really declined Human Realm’s political marriage proposal.

Although they had seen it coming, the news was rather impactful withal.

“Donghuang the Great only gave a short answer! The people from Human Realm were not invited into the gate of the Imperial Palace!” Someone could be heard shouting, “Donghuang the Great said the exact words from afar!”

“It’s inappropriate to adopt Human Ancestor’s disciple into Donghuang Imperial Palace! Please forgive us for not inviting you in!”

Even though everyone had predicted the outcome, their hearts skipped a beat upon hearing the answer. However, it was not just the people here. Every cultivator in Ruins Continent felt the same after knowing Donghuang the Great’s answer.

Donghuang the Great presumed the other party would be adopted into his family before asking them for details.

Heck, he did not even allow the Human Realm’s cultivators to enter his Imperial Palace.

A proposal for political marriage?

Donghuang the Great’s att.i.tude toward this was telling the Human Realm cultivators that they were unworthy.

Ye Futian was confounded. He had never thought that Donghuang the Great would give such an insult answer and did not even try to be courteous at all. It was as if the latter was telling the other party to return to where they had crawled out from.

It seemed like Dark Sovereign was right all along. The relations.h.i.+p between the Human Realm and the Divine Prefecture was not as good as everyone had imagined.
