Thunderbolt: I Became the Human Emperor in the Bitter Realm

The descent of the Human Emperor, the submission of the three religions, and the worship of all people are absolutely divine mandate.

As for when, they don't know yet, but it shouldn't be too long.

When the seven stars twinkle, it is the moment when destiny returns to its rightful place, and the path to becoming emperor will inevitably be embarked upon.

“Senior, no matter what the future holds, I hope that the people can live in peace and prosperity. If we are no longer needed, I should step down and give way to a more worthy person.”

He didn't care about ambition, because he had a stronger goal. The Human Emperor was just a transaction for him to come here, a transaction with the fate of heaven and earth.

It dawned on me then, but it was also a matter of going with the flow, and there was no need to think too much about it.

"But is that really what you think?"

"Yes, senior. All I can do is protect the people for a period of time, allowing them to recuperate. When my time comes, I will be free. I will not linger. This is my destiny, and it is also the destiny of this realm of suffering."

His sudden outburst undoubtedly indicates that he was prepared for this.

A clear conscience needs no words; as long as it can be done, that's the best outcome. Real pressure will show tangible results, and true understanding will also be evident.

He wasn't the kind of person to hesitate, because he was well aware of the greed for power.

It's not just about the effect itself, but also about a clear aspiration. Different stories are the best insights.

Everyone was surprised, never expecting that he was not greedy for power at all.

"Seniors, there's no need to look at me like that. I have a grand goal in mind. Although the Human Emperor is a lofty figure, he is not my goal. However, I have no choice but to accept the mandate of heaven."

Chen Yu complained helplessly.

Lin Tianxing and the others were speechless, then subconsciously asked, "What's your ultimate goal?"

Chen Yu said innocently, "Become a god."

Hearing his words, he was shocked and understood quite well. He could see the facts clearly and there was no need to think too much. Simply put, his strength was evident.

"Becoming a god? Perhaps this is a concept that many humans do not believe, but now that you have said it, it is truly something to look forward to."

Lin Tianxing didn't mean any contempt; having a goal is good, it's better than having no ambition at all.

Moreover, his ambition is quite great, so it's understandable that he doesn't covet power or position.

True strength needs no further explanation; if it's readily apparent, that's the best approach.

In the realm of power and strength, there is no need for understanding or difference, as long as it can astound people.

The allusions of today are just as simple, unconcerned, natural, and require no further thought; they are readily apparent.

Fate flows on, and we clash time and again; who can truly understand it all?

Chen Yu had long seen through the power dynamics, not because he was young, but because he had observed so much. He knew which emperor had a good ending; those who didn't know their place were all buried. Naturally, there was no point in pursuing that path.

The human heart is boundless and cannot be fully expressed; this is an undeniable fact.

All of this reveals the truth and the reality; nothing is impossible.

"Besides, there are so many schemers in the Bitter Realm. I can't fight them all by myself. If I'm not sensible, I won't have any consequences. It's better to go with the flow. Besides, retreating back to the Northern Corner won't hurt, will it?"

Lin Tianxing and the others also came to their senses and realized that he already knew his intentions, which was indeed true.

Such a person is indeed extraordinary, and he was able to suppress the arrival of the Bitter Realm's destiny, allowing them a period of rest and recuperation.

This is a good idea, and it shows the feelings in one's heart.

No matter how many twists and turns fate may bring, as long as one's mind remains clear, it is enough to see through danger and bring success to oneself.

This is a very important fact, and it's also part of becoming a successful person.

Momentary happiness is not lifelong happiness; he hopes he can go further in life.

"Good, we are very pleased that you have such an idea. Excellent, excellent."

This isn't a hypocritical excuse; it's a fact that requires no further thought. If it can be done, that's the best outcome.

Such security is something we are all aware of, so there's no need to refute it.

Understanding is one thing, but having no solution is a foolish choice; he is clearly a very rational person.

Chapter Forty-One: Temporary Residence on the Ancient Road of Defeng

Chen Yu was still very confident, but he wasn't really interested in power; he just wanted to be stronger.

Besides, the northern region has a deep foundation built up over many years. As long as it is cultivated diligently, it will naturally have more potential. He doesn't actually like places where there is constant fighting.

If it weren't for the destiny bestowed upon me, which was essentially a deal I made with the Heavenly Dao of the Bitter Realm, I probably wouldn't have wanted to participate.

After thinking about it, I decided to just go through the motions; it would be a way of fulfilling our mutual agreement.

This is also why, as his strength increases, he can feel the communication with the will of heaven and earth; it seems to be just a drama.

All in all, it wasn't a loss. For him, it was about stabilizing the world temporarily and giving the Bitter Realm a period of peace.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of the Bitter Realm simply couldn't bear to watch any longer, after all, this was harvesting the leeks too ruthlessly.

In any case, he should just quietly be a tool. Once he's done being a tool, then he'll be free.

If Lin Tianxing and the others knew that this was his thought, they would probably be unable to express it.

Yes, they really care, which allows them to perform better.

Power was nothing but fleeting smoke to him.

"Young friend, you are truly of noble character. We old folks are ashamed, ashamed."

Lin Tianxing and the others all thought the same thing, and they also felt apologetic for misunderstanding his thoughts.

Chen Yu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there's no need for that. I just had a bit of luck, it's nothing. I'll need your help to make arrangements so that things can settle down quickly and peacefully."

Lin Tianxing nodded, and the others understood what he meant.

The three religions have been fighting amongst themselves for a long time. Now that the Human Emperor is about to be born, they have no way to resist destiny, otherwise they know the consequences.

Under the night sky, the seven stars were still dim, but some faint bright spots could be seen.

This undoubtedly indicates that the Human Emperor is about to be appointed general, accompanied by seven stars, and his future is irreversible.

"By the way, Your Excellency Huangru, do you know how long this imperial destiny will last?"

Chen Yu was also curious. Although the deal had been made, he didn't know how long it would last.

After listening, Lin Tianxing pondered for a moment before saying, "This is not certain, it can only be said to be relative. No one knows for sure, it depends on the fate of heaven and earth. The seven stars have their own omens, but it will take at least a hundred years."

In less than a century, there can be virtually no change; a century is the minimum timeframe.

Chen Yu nodded, "I understand now. A hundred years is nothing."

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, senior."

Lin Tianxing was particularly willing to offer guidance to such juniors.

Besides, he had already mastered the innate human emperor's energy, so adjusting his cultivation method seemed easy for him.

It must be said that a born emperor is extraordinary.

"Young friend, would you like to rest for a while on the Defeng Ancient Road?"

"Yes, that's what I thought too. Thank you for your kindness, senior."

Chen Yu wasn't so polite; he was indeed very optimistic about this place, so there was no need to think too much about it.

Soon Chen Yu settled down temporarily on the Defeng Ancient Road.

He spent his days reading and practicing calligraphy, playing chess or painting with many Confucian scholars.

The Six Arts of a Gentleman are quite good; you can work hard at them. In fact, there are countless people in the world who have entered the Tao, but they don't know why they entered the Tao. Only when they know it can they know what they should do.

Don't think about taking shortcuts; that's something we really don't want to happen.

While shortcuts may seem appealing, they are ultimately short-sighted measures unless one forges their own path.

So it's a different road from the original one, relatively isolated, so there's no need to worry about it so much.

All of these things must be understood, and the main reason for gaining strength is to change the original path.

Chen Yu has been continuously reinforcing and deepening his knowledge in response to this.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a place of virtue and ancient traditions, and its many Confucian ideas are quite remarkable.

The path to all of this remains so clear and straightforward.

Chen Yu gained a lot from this.

I have gained a deeper understanding of the significance of Confucianism. Both were created by the efforts of our ancestors, so naturally they are different.

How can any of these changes be refuted?

Ultimately, many destinies exist, and even more so, the power to change is unpredictable. In the end, everything comes down to the unforgivable journey of life itself.

The greatest tragedy is not recognizing one's own limitations.

Throughout history, countless hegemons and kings have vanished into nothingness, swallowed up by the torrent of history.

It's fair to say that very few people have actually retired from the workforce.

Destiny is a powerful weapon, but also a fatal weakness.
