Thunderbolt: I Became the Human Emperor in the Bitter Realm

The Central Plains were engulfed in war, offering no solace whatsoever; it was utterly disheartening.

Unfortunately, that's how it all turned out.

People are displaced, natural disasters and man-made calamities are constant, one side comes and another goes, roles are constantly changing, there is no sign of stopping, and we are always moving forward.

This is of great significance, and it is evident that the spirit of hope has a tremendous effect.

Before this scene, there is a glimmer of hope. Countless things can be felt, and all need to be proven by strength.

Even without an answer, it can be used better. The true chapter of strength is always a reasonable part.

Chen Yu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, a sigh that was also filled with helplessness.

"Huh, where am I?"

Looking at the relatively quiet place, there was a sense of aloofness, but also a refreshing coolness.

It piqued his curiosity: what kind of place was this?

"I am very much looking forward to the arrival of distinguished guests."

As soon as the voice came, he saw someone waiting for him, which puzzled him a bit. But Zhi Wangxing was not to be underestimated. As the Lord of the Seven Stars, he became even clearer about the situation.

"Thank you for the invitation, please."

Chen Yu didn't care and walked straight up to the other person.

The man looked at him and immediately extended his hand, saying, "Please sit down."

Chen Yu sat down and asked curiously, "I wonder why you invited me? It seems to have no connection?"

"Your Excellency, there's no need to worry. I'm just another lonely person. It's the same everywhere in the world, isn't it?"

"That's true. They're raised everywhere, but there's constant warfare. Who can change that?"

"May I ask you a few questions?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Alright, please speak freely."

The man coughed once before continuing, "Sir, do you have any good plan to quell the chaos in the Bitter Land?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu smiled and said, "It's difficult. I am just a wandering swordsman. How could I possibly have such insights? Please excuse my ignorance."

This person still had no intention of letting him go: "Sir, you first said it was difficult, then you said it was a wandering person. I can hear the contradiction in your words."

Chen Yu listened, paused for a moment, and then said, "You jest, sir. The world is vast, there are countless people, countless schemers, and countless wise men. No one wants to be inferior, so we must determine who is superior. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the man fell silent. This was a matter of great importance, and it also revealed the man's strength. Indeed, it was not to be taken lightly. It was a matter that was difficult to describe, and there was no need to doubt much, except for a lingering suspicion.

"The real helplessness in this world is just a game of chess between ambitious people and wise people. As for the strong, most of them live in seclusion and do not like the mortal world, but the mortal world will always come knocking on their door. How can they be forced to leave?"

Chen Yu's words were indeed the truth, and very sincere. As for the rest, he really didn't know how to say it.

As for his own abilities, he can work harder, and even harder, so that he won't fail.

But it's not strong enough; it needs to be stronger.

Although he has never made a move openly, those who know about it are either from the past or his subordinates.

This person then rose and bowed respectfully.

Chen Yu was taken aback: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

The man was now straightforward: "I am Lonely Marquis, and I hope to follow you and do my best for you."

Before Chen Yu could speak, the other party said, "Your Excellency possesses the body of a born true dragon, and you are destined for great things. Please accept me, a lonely soul."

Chen Yu was puzzled. How did he figure out that although he was still the Lord of the Seven Stars, he was a born true dragon? Wasn't that going too far?

Chapter Nine: Eliminating the Root Cause of the Disease Brings Peace

Chen Yu said with a slightly serious expression, "Lonely Marquis, is that right? If not, how did you find out?"

Lonely Marquis said casually, "Naturally, it's my specialty."

Chen Yu listened and then stopped asking questions. Everyone has their own secrets, so it wasn't too much to ask.

"Very well, but I'm afraid your health..."

Lonely Marquis's poor health had been a long time coming, and he was clearly aware of his condition.

Lonely Marquis did not mince words: "It is indeed the case. I am afraid my body will not be able to hold on for long, but I must fulfill my dream. That is my resolve."

Chen Yu understood perfectly, and then said with a smile, "My road is long. If your road is short, how can I be happy?"

Lonely Marquis was taken aback, not understanding his meaning; he knew his own body best.

"You're willing to take me in."

Chen Yu's figure blurred, revealing his true face, and he said with a smile, "I wonder if my appearance is still pleasing to the eye?"

As the magic faded, the true face was revealed, shining brightly with seven stars, radiant and unparalleled.

Upon seeing that he was a wise man, Lonely Marquis immediately knelt down and said, "Lonely Marquis greets Your Majesty."

Chen Yu reached out to help him up, while simultaneously guiding the starlight with one hand, saying, "Let me first eliminate the hidden dangers for you, drink."

With the blessing of starlight, boundless power was drawn to erode the root cause of the illness within Lonely Marquis's body.

All of this requires Chen Yu's personal guidance; otherwise, the effect may backfire.

As the starlight entered his body, Lonely Marquis did not resist at all. At the moment of recognizing the master, one must have the belief to give everything.

No regrets.

As the starlight faded, Lonely Marquis felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

"It feels so good, all those years of ailment are gone."

This was something he never expected.

Chen Yu himself was also surprised by the light of the stars, which had such a miraculous effect that it could even eliminate the root cause of the disease in the affected person.

The main reason is that it is an ancient celestial body, which is the core.

Without the control of this power, the backlash might turn him to ashes.

"Thank you, Lord, for healing my illness and saving my life."

The Lonely Marquis couldn't suppress his excitement. Who doesn't want to live? And who doesn't want to live well? He was lucky now, and he had high hopes for the future.

Chen Yu chuckled and said, "If these are my words, then they will naturally come true. How can a little time be enough? The road ahead is long. I am the ruler of the Seven Star Dynasty of the Northern Corner. You may go to the Northern Corner afterward. This is my letter."

Upon hearing this, Lonely Marquis realized that the emperor was indeed a ruler who had already begun to possess his own territory and power, which was a good thing.

As for why he entered the Central Plains alone, that's probably unknown.

The wisdom of the Lonely Marquis is evident.

Chen Yu naturally noticed the hesitation in his eyes, so he waved his hand and said, "This is the token of the Seven Star Palace. It was the first barrier I established, mainly to contact the people scattered into the Bitter Realm. At the same time, everyone started to cultivate the Dual Extreme Heart Source. You also have a share."

After receiving this message, Lonely Marquis realized that his lord had already laid out plans for the Bitter Realm. Although the plan was still very immature, the scale of the plan was already quite large, which showed that his lord was very steady and thoughtful. That was enough.

"It turns out that His Majesty has prepared so much. Even Marquis Lonely must be ashamed."

Chen Yu chuckled and said, "These are all minor matters. With you here, the Seven Star Dynasty can be more stable. But don't be too hasty in your methods. There's no way to ban martial arts in this world; the only way is to guide them. It's better to guide than to block, isn't it?"

Lonely Marquis asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, why is it not possible to ban martial arts?"

Chen Yu countered, "Then will the forces outside the Bitter Realm listen to us?"

Lonely Marquis was taken aback, then fell silent. As wise as he was, he quickly understood Chen Yu's meaning.

It's certainly good that there's no martial arts above the Bitter Realm, but can it also prevent forces outside the Bitter Realm from practicing martial arts?

This is obviously impossible; in other words, it is inherently impossible to achieve.

"Then I wonder what His Majesty's intentions are?"

Chen Yu said directly, "As I have said, it is better to guide than to block. Those with talent can be gathered together and cultivated, and transformed into the fighting force of the dynasty. Military power will never disappear, nor can it disappear. How long can this world last without the protection of military power?"

"The fate of the people, the fate of all things, has never been decided by us, but by those ambitious outsiders or the strong, hasn't it?"

This was not an accident, but a fact; it was indeed an astonishing answer.

Our side seeks peace, but others may not; they want more, much more.

Lonely Marquis fell even more silent. Perhaps he had been thinking too simply, too influenced by his childhood feelings, and had never considered this thorny issue.

Peace cannot be achieved by one party pursuing it alone; rather, it requires the shared mindset of both or even multiple parties to be determined.

This is also a luxurious word.

"Your Majesty is wise. Marquis Lonely understands."

"Good to understand. In fact, this world is a world without choices. It's not that I don't want to, but that it simply doesn't exist."

Yes, this is a thought that doesn't exist, and it's undeniable that this effort was never just wishful thinking.

What one desires in one's heart, what fate decrees, and what remains is endless splendor.

"Although the world is vast, it is never short of struggle. If you want true peace, you can only rely on yourself to prevent your enemies from plotting against you or making a move. But how many people can do this?"
