CapĂtulo 1507: Chapter 725: The Kings Arise! Chaos Across the Land!
âGreetings, King Yan!â
A majestic voice echoed through the heavens, shaking the earth.
At this moment, everyone within sight either bowed deeply or knelt on one knee, expressing their submission to Chen Yuan, the âKing Yanâ.
Yan was indeed the title granted to Chen Yuanâs maternal grandfather.
After much deliberation, Chen Yuan felt this title was more appropriate.
After all, a title cannot be taken lightly; it can derive from oneâs surname, the place of uprising, or the title held by oneâs ancestors.
King Chen didnât sound appealing, King Shu was too limiting, and as for King Chu⊠Chen Yuan had considered it, but his idea had been rejected by the Tianxu Taoist.
Firstly, because the remnants of Chu are still around, known to the world.
Taking the title of King Chu would not be suitable.
Besides, does he want to be the restorer of Great Chu?
In the end, âYanâ rolled off the tongue more smoothly.
Chen Yuan desired to be the founder of a kingdom, for only then could he gather the strongest power of all living beings, condense it into the most intense power of national fortune for his own use.
Indeed, Chen Yuanâs convoluted maneuvers largely aimed to ensure his uprising carried greater legitimacy, gaining wider acceptance from the populace and Jianghu.
Only in this way could he truly win peopleâs hearts.
If he started a rebellion randomly, it would lack the ceremonial impact that made it so striking.
Chen Yuanâs major adversary is the Immortal Domain. Although they hadnât confronted each other yet, it already loomed like a mountain over his mind, forcing him to prepare early for the clash.
He wonât follow the path of Chu Grand Ancestor but can imitate it.
Only by consolidating a unified, deeply ingrained dynasty can the most powerful force be gathered, though this canât be resolved with a mere title and ceremony.
Yet it requires little effort, so why not proceed as plannedâthere would be no harm.
Thus, he personally arranged all of this. Regarding the great turtle in the Li River, it is actually the Sect Guardian Divine Beast of Biyou Palace, an exotic beast brought back by Biyou Immortal from the Southern Border in the demon-slaying war five hundred years ago.
Its current status is quite low, merely unseen by the world.
It was Chen Yuan who asked the Tianxu Taoist for help to borrow it, to appear more mystical.
In reality, what Chen Yuan truly wanted to establish was the Immortal Court.
It is said that those who slay the dragon become evil dragons themselves. While Chen Yuan had not yet slain the dragon, the thought had already formed in his heart. But compared to the methods of the Immortal Domain, he wouldnât be so extreme.
He would aim to truly unify the human world.
However, Chen Yuanâs current strength and influence are insufficient. Establishing an Immortal Court would only invite ridiculeâonly when he destroys the Immortal Domain and becomes the strongest in the human world.
Can he then establish the Immortal Court and legitimately claim the title of Heavenly Emperor!
âYanâ will suffice for now.
Looking at the crowd below, Chen Yuan waved his hand, and an invisible force raised everyone kneeling, softly saying:
âRise.â
âThank you, Great King!â
âThank you, Great King!â
This gesture further enhanced Chen Yuanâs sacredness; at least everyone present was amazed by the great turtleâs spoken words and the swift, collective rising brought about in an instant.
When they return, it will rapidly spread and deepen in peopleâs hearts, throughout the world.
âVanquish the cruel Jin! Destroy Jin and revive Chu!â
Suddenly, a voice erupted among the crowd, followed by a myriad of echoes, as if at this moment, the cruel Jin had become an irredeemable criminal.
Indeed, the cruel Jin is a criminal.
When Chen Yuan displayed Jingtaiâs crimes and evidence to the world, it was the Southern populaceâespecially those of Shuzhouâwho first stirred up unrest.
The No-Life Sectâs headquarters is within Shuzhou, and Jingtai slaughtered millions of people there, using their blood to aid his cultivation, committing numerous atrocities.
Who among them hasnât lost family or friends?
Regardless of whether it was the doing of the No-Life Sect, from the moment Chen Yuan exposed them, all charges would fall on Jingtai, leading back to the court at large.
Thus, having slain Jingtai, Chen Yuan gained immense popular support in Shuzhou, calling for recruits to gather in large numbers.
Destroy Jin, revive Chuâthatâs the slogan Chen Yuan promoted, one that nearly all forces silently agreed on, despite Great Jin being nearly finished; only after these forces determine victory.
Can they directly march into Central State, but itâs merely a slogan, nothing substantial.
Itâs a final tacticâafter Jinâs destruction, itâll be the best way to gather popular support.
Revive Chu, but itâs not the Chu of the Xiang Family being revived, instead, itâs the Heavenly Dynastyâthe supreme kingdom in peopleâs heartsâbeing restored, and the Xiang Family would become a thorn in all factionsâ eyes.
By first proclaiming himself king, then reviving Chu, Chen Yuan essentially gave various factions a reason and idea, freeing them from other troubles, effectively digging up the root of the Xiang Family.
And this, is what he most wished to see.
The Xiang Family has teamed up with Heavenly Demon Hall and Seven Killings Hall, unifying Blood State, but what does it matter?
If they dare make any big moves, then all other factions will prioritize eliminating this conspicuous orthodox, although, openly, none would admit it.
The Xiang FamilyâŠ. have long been victimized by the cruel Jin, havenât they?
As for Blood State, even if most people know the truth, butâŠ. what difference does that make?
This only tightens the restraints on the Xiang Family!

No grand ceremony was held for his proclamation as king. Under the witness of hundreds of thousands of people by the Li River, it was the most fitting ceremony for a kingâs coronation, marking the throne achieved by Chen Yuan, fulfilling heavenâs will and the peopleâs heart.
