Traveling through time 1 years late, I was forced to become a powerful person

After secretly replacing the sun in Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven with the Big Sun Golden Wheel and erasing part of Qingyu's memory, Shen Yuan left the cave directly.

Shen Yuan himself was not completely sure about this move.

After all, ten thousand years is too long, and any slight change in such a long period of time may change the course of the future.

In addition, the blessing of Emperor Donghua Shaoyang remains on the Golden Wheel of the Sun. Shen Yuan's methods can deceive the immortals who have a little Qingxu Heaven, but they cannot deceive the immortal golden immortals of Donghua's lineage.

If the Golden Immortal of Donghua forcefully breaks into Xiaoyouqingxu Heaven and takes away the Golden Wheel of the Sun, Shen Yuan's layout will be directly destroyed, and it will be extremely difficult to make up for it at that time.

Shen Yuan's only chance is that he is not far from the time when the Xuanhuang Realm is cut off from the connection with heaven and earth for ten thousand years. After the Xuanhuang Realm is severed from all connections with the other realms, the secret of the Great Sun Golden Wheel will be completely buried.

Basically, Shen Yuan is gambling!
The bet that Zhuyang Star Official’s death would not be exposed at the first time.

The Golden Immortals of the Donghua faction were concerned about the Qingxu Tianzun behind Qingxu Zhitian and found it difficult to make a decision in a short period of time.

I bet that these immortals and gods with long lifespans will not be able to solve this problem in the first place.

If Shen Yuan wins the bet, he will be laying a trump card for the great war ten thousand years later.

If Shen Yuan lost the bet, not only would he lose a trump card, but the gods and immortals of the Donghua clan would also turn their attention to him in advance, adding uncertainty to the future.

"Who can tell whether we win or lose?"

There was a strange glint in Shen Yuan's eyes. He quietly opened up a space passage and left the prosperous Qingxu Immortal City.

The chess pieces sent to the future have ended, and what Shen Yuan will face next will be the most difficult opponent in this journey of ten thousand years, Dayin’s puppet emperor and the mastermind behind the Dusk Realm.

Over the past few years, the Twilight Realm has spread its tentacles beyond the Dayin Imperial City, gradually affecting every aspect of the Dayin court.

If the delay continues, once the situation in the Twilight Realm becomes established, it will be of no avail even if Shen Yuan exposes the conspiracy of the Puppet Emperor.

Therefore, Shen Yuan must reveal the truth before the Twilight Realm truly controls the Dayin Dynasty, and use the power of the Dayin Dynasty to fight against the Twilight Realm.

To achieve this, Shen Yuan must go to the central imperial capital of the Dayin Dynasty and face the most dangerous Dayin Emperor and the mastermind behind the scenes.

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan's gaze spanned a million miles and looked towards the magnificent city where the destiny of humanity converged.

"Before that, there's someone I should meet."

The space before his eyes shattered, and Shen Yuan's figure disappeared in this world.

The imperial capital of Dayin, the residence of the third prince.

As the most outstanding genius of the contemporary Dayin royal family, Ji Zhaoyang once overwhelmed the Dayin crown prince in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms and became the number one among the princes. He was almost regarded as the future crown prince.

However, after the Supreme Taoist Shen Yuan killed the Human Emperor's messenger and challenged the authority of the Human Emperor of Dayin, the reputation of the Third Prince Ji Zhaoyang plummeted.

Almost all of the three dukes and nine ministers who had originally defected to Ji Zhaoyang were dismissed from their posts, and other high-ranking ministers were exiled to wild areas. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Third Prince of Dayin was implicated by the Supreme Taoist because of his good relationship with the Supreme Taoist.

Even though Emperor Dayin did not impose any overt punishment on the Third Prince, the Third Prince Ji Zhaoyang had lost the qualification to compete for the position of Crown Prince.

The once prosperous residence of the Third Prince is now deserted. Even the several courtyards surrounding the residence have been completely abandoned by high-ranking officials and nobles, for fear of being affected by the Third Prince's experience.

Under such circumstances, the once heroic prodigy of the royal family now just spends his days drinking in the Jiaofangsi and Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion, and even his cultivation has declined a bit.

Early in the morning, Ji Zhaoyang left the Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion with a haggard face and returned to the Third Prince's residence, with only one servant following him.

When passing by a courtyard, Ji Zhaoyang suddenly stopped, stretched lazily and said to the attendant beside him:

"The demon ladies in the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion have lost too much of their essence. We will not go to the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion tonight. We will go to the Tingyao Tower to recuperate."

There was a trace of barely perceptible contempt in the servant's eyes, but on the surface he still said respectfully:

"I will go and arrange it for Your Highness right away!"

"Go!"

Ji Zhaoyang yawned and waved his hand, and the servant immediately turned around and walked out of the Third Prince's residence.

As the attendants left, the haggardness on Ji Zhaoyang's face disappeared completely, and he walked into the courtyard with a bit of excitement on his expression.

In front of the stone table in the courtyard, Ji Zhaoyang saw a figure that was extremely familiar to him.

"Shen Daozi!"

Inside the courtyard was Shen Yuan.

When he saw Ji Zhaoyang, Shen Yuan also showed a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, long time no see."

Ji Zhaoyang walked a few steps to the tree, sat down in front of the stone table, and said carelessly:

"When Shen Daozi killed Yu Ke, he caused me so much trouble.

The censors under the crown prince all said that I was bewitched by you and intended to rebel, and they claimed that they would banish me to the Endless Sea.

Most of the ministers who were on good terms with me were dismissed from their posts, and some powerful ministers were also banished. The so-called Third Prince's faction disappeared in just a few days.

I can only hang out in brothels all day and drink to drown my sorrows!"

Although he said this, there was no resentment in Ji Zhaoyang's eyes. Instead, he looked calm as if he was complaining to a friend.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "It is indeed me who has caused trouble for His Majesty the Third Prince."

"So you have to compensate me well, at least with a heavenly banquet from the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion!"

When Shen Yuan first arrived in the imperial capital, he had heard that the Heavenly Fairy Banquet at the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion was the best in the world, but in the final analysis it was just a banquet.

Any ordinary Lianxu Zhenjun could enjoy it if he gritted his teeth, let alone Shen Yuan and Ji Zhaoyang.

Compared with Ji Zhaoyang’s loss, the so-called Heavenly Fairy Banquet is not worth mentioning at all.

"The Heavenly Fairy Banquet is not enough to compensate you." Shen Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

Ji Zhaoyang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have anything else good?"

Shen Yuan reached out and picked up the teacup on the stone table and slowly handed it to Ji Zhaoyang.

"The position of the crown prince of Dayin may be barely enough."

The smile on Ji Zhaoyang's face froze for a moment, and then he looked Shen Yuan up and down with a look of doubt.

Reaching out and scratching his head, Ji Zhaoyang asked in confusion, "Shen Daozi doesn't look like he's been bewitched by some kind of nightmare spell, so why is he talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

Shen Yuan said seriously, "The Third Prince lost the chance to compete for the crown prince position because of me, so it is only right that he should be compensated with a crown prince position."

"Forget it!" Ji Zhaoyang waved his hand and said casually:

"My downfall has something to do with you, but it was just a fuse. The crown prince won the favor of my father by bidding for that bronze tripod, and the battle for the crown prince's position was decided at that moment. It would be useless even if I won the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms.

Demoting those under my command is just paving the way for my good brother.

Without you as an excuse, there will be other troubles. Rather than facing those troubles, it is better to take this opportunity to get a heavenly feast from you."

"Is the Third Prince willing to accept this?"

"Anyway, the position of crown prince is up to my father. What if I am willing? What if I am not willing?"

Shen Yuan still held the wine glass in his right hand and said something lightly.

“Before coming to the imperial capital, I met a celestial star official who descended from the upper realm.

I killed that star official, and then encountered an encirclement by three sky patrol fleets and the Taixu fleet led by Rentu Daojun.

I first got rid of the three sky patrol fleets, and then banished Ren Tu Daojun's Taixu fleet into the void.

Daojun Ren Tu must have reported this to the Emperor, but Your Highness the Third Prince does not know, so the Emperor must have blocked the news."

After hearing this, Ji Zhaoyang was stunned.

The lazy and carefree look in his eyes disappeared, and Ji Zhaoyang's expression began to become serious.

The killing of the celestial being from the upper realm might be concealed, but the movements of the three sky patrol fleets and the Taixu fleet were not a secret. There was no need for Shen Yuan to lie about something whose truth could be verified with a simple investigation.

If what Shen Yuan said was true, then it meant that Shen Yuan at least possessed the powerful strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

This is almost the pinnacle of the Xuanhuang Realm. Even among the ten major sacred places, there are not many that can have immortals in charge.

Such a strong man lurking in the dark is powerful enough to influence the ownership of the crown prince position of the Dayin Dynasty.

Ji Zhaoyang's attitude finally changed. He put away his previous lazy and carefree look and stared at the teacup handed to him by Shen Yuan.

"If it was a normal fight for the crown prince position, Daozi's secret support would be enough for me to take the crown prince position.

But now I have almost lost the chance to compete for the position of crown prince, and Daozi is also wanted by the entire Dayin court. Once his identity is exposed, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale suppression by the dynasty. The Dayin court will not allow a powerful celestial being to interfere with the succession of the throne.

I don’t see a chance of winning in this situation.”

Ji Zhaoyang expressed his opinion and looked at Shen Yuan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

It was obvious that he was not as carefree as he had appeared to be before.

In fact, this is normal. Since he was a child, Ji Zhaoyang has been regarded as a contender for the position of crown prince. He clearly had the upper hand over Prince Dayin, but he lost the chance to compete for the position of crown prince because of an ancient bronze tripod. No one would be willing to accept this.

The reason why he showed that attitude was that he felt that the Emperor of Dayin was too biased and that even if he fought for it, he would be powerless to reverse the situation.

Now that Shen Yuan has brought him a glimmer of hope, he naturally wants to seize it.

Under Ji Zhaoyang's gaze, Shen Yuan spoke.

“The attitude of Emperor Dayin is indeed a thorny issue.

The Emperor has chosen the Crown Prince, and the position of Crown Prince has almost been decided."

The hope in Ji Zhaoyang's eyes was extinguished, but the next moment Shen Yuan suddenly changed the subject.

"But has your Highness ever thought about the real reason why the Emperor chose the Crown Prince?"

"What's the real reason?" Ji Zhaoyang frowned tightly.

"Is it that huge bronze tripod?"

"It is true that the turning point was the huge bronze tripod, but does Your Highness really think that simply offering a huge bronze tripod will make the Emperor completely side with the Crown Prince?

The ancient bronze tripod has the potential to be refined into a powerful human weapon. Its ownership was determined the moment it entered the Xuanhuang Realm. The prince is just a medium to present it to the Human Emperor. No matter who buys it, it will eventually fall into the hands of the Human Emperor.

For tens of thousands of years, the Dayin royal family has chosen the crown prince based on the favor of humanity and destiny, so as to maximize the power of humanity and maintain the rule of the dynasty.

And such an ancient bronze tripod that is destined to belong to someone else can make the emperor completely turn to the crown prince. Is the inheritance of the Dayin royal family too trifling?"

Ji Zhaoyang was stunned. Shen Yuan’s explanation did make him feel something was wrong.

The inheritance of the Human Emperor concerns the entire human race. Even the Human Emperor Dayin cannot act recklessly.

He once doubted the Emperor of Dayin who sat on the throne, but the awe in his heart for the Emperor suppressed this rebellious thought.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Ji Zhaoyang felt more and more that it was weird.

"Why is this so?"

Shen Yuan smiled lightly.

“A true Great Yin Emperor would naturally not let the ancient bronze tripod affect the selection of the crown prince.

But what if the Great Yin Emperor who sits on the throne now is just a puppet being manipulated by others?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ji Zhaoyang retorted instinctively:
"The Emperor of Man is in charge of the capital of Dayin. He possesses the great power of humanity and is invulnerable to all attacks. How could he be controlled by others?"

“The Human Emperor at the peak of his powers is indeed invulnerable to all attacks, and no outsiders or evil spirits can get close to him.

But what if the Great Yin Emperor is not at the peak of his powers and cannot fully control the general trend of humanity?"

“A Human Emperor who cannot truly control the general trend of humanity will still have flaws even if he sits in the Central Imperial Capital. After all, the cultivation level of this Human Emperor has only barely reached the state of harmony with the Dao.

There is a Daluo being who secretly left a backup plan, and then sent it into the Xuanhuang Realm using the ancient bronze tripod as a medium.

When the Human Emperor touches the ancient bronze tripod, he will be contaminated by the Human Emperor and turned into a puppet. Even the trend of humanity cannot be reversed. "

The shocking secret rang in Ji Zhaoyang's ears. Before he could think carefully, Shen Yuan's words rang again.

"In recent years, has the Emperor of Dayin rarely appeared? Has he never left the imperial city? Have the powerful officials in the court and the people been purged several times?

The Emperor has become a puppet, and his human power is constantly slipping away. If the people behind the scenes want to control the situation, they must minimize the Emperor's use of human power as much as possible, and control the situation before he loses his human power. Replacing the powerful ministers is an indispensable step. "

“Besides that, it’s no accident that you were suppressed.

As the most outstanding genius of the Dayin royal family, if you become the crown prince, your fate will be closely linked to the humanity of the Dayin Dynasty, and the decline of the Human Emperor will certainly not be hidden from you.

On the contrary, the prince lost everything in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, lost all favor from humanity, and was unable to see the truth about the changes in the great trend of humanity."

After he finished speaking, Shen Yuan slowly placed the teacup in front of the Third Prince of Dayin.

“It’s time to make a choice.”

"Submit to the fate of being a puppet? Or rise up and resist?" (End of this chapter)
