Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chapter 97 Awakening Possibilities, A Marriage of Concern

"What a cruel twist of fate!"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing that her ancestor, the Azure Emperor, had turned himself into a coma and a vegetable, she was completely at a loss. She almost laughed in anger, and her resentment dissipated somewhat.

It turns out that our ancestor, the Azure Emperor, did not intentionally abandon his descendants, but was so engrossed in my world that he had no time for anything else, and even played until he fainted.

As for whether Chen Hao was lying to her, Yan Ruyu felt there was no need for that. Such a powerful person could take her life at any time and completely possess the Emperor Weapon and Emperor Heart. What reason would he have to deceive her?

Even if it was truly a lie, Yan Ruyu would accept it if such a powerful person could fabricate lies to deceive her.

It's unclear what benefit Chen Hao will gain from awakening his ancestors. Could it be that he wants to use this achievement to ask the Azure Emperor Ancestor for the immortal artifact, the Desolate Tower?

"Then how do we awaken our ancestors?"

Yan Ruyu naturally walked to Chen Hao's side, staring at him with her bright and beautiful eyes, her slender white hands already grasping his arm.

Yan Ruyu is only eighteen or nineteen years old. She is stunningly beautiful, with exquisite features, a gorgeous face, and a shapely body. She seems flawless and pure, like the most perfect work of art from heaven. She and Chen Hao, who is handsome and has an ethereal appearance, complement each other perfectly.

"The simplest and most direct way is undoubtedly to gather the power of several imperial weapons and blast them into the Yin Tomb in one fell swoop, directly waking up the sleeping Azure Emperor's primordial spirit inside the desolate tower."

,””

Chen Hao took out the broken Fuxi Dragon Stele and the Devouring Demon Jar with only the lid, showed it briefly, and then quickly put it back.

"When will you make your move?"

Although Yan Ruyu's breath was fragrant and her demeanor intimate, like a bewitching and beautiful fairy, her temperament at this moment became ethereal and wise, like a fairy from the Jade Pool, pure and otherworldly, giving people a huge sense of contrast.

"After the frog in the well delivers the Void Mirror to our door."

Chen Hao smiled slightly.

Actually, it was three years later that Ji Haoyue, having achieved minor mastery of her divine body, came to my door with the Void Mirror and made the outrageous statement that only the Demon Emperor's weapon was worthy of her.

However, the Ji family has been cultivating a divine body for quite some time, and they have always wanted to find someone to test their skills on Ji Haoyue. The fallen descendant of the demon emperor, namely Yan Ruyu and her group, has long been targeted by the Ji family.

As a whetstone and a cushion to enhance the prestige of a divine body, it must be qualified enough, with a noble enough bloodline, but the strength must be moderate. The whetstone cannot be worn down by Ji Haoyue, and it cannot have any too powerful backing. All things considered, Yan Ruyu, the fallen descendant of the demon emperor, is the most suitable.

Moreover, Yan Ruyu and her group had just retrieved the Emperor Weapon and had not yet gained momentum, making it the perfect time to suppress them. Furthermore, the greedy ancient aristocratic families were also thinking of taking this opportunity to completely destroy the Demon Emperor's legacy and seize the Azure Emperor Weapon and the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.

However, the Ji family has not yet fully figured out the location of Yan Ruyu's group, and is also waiting for Ji Haoyue's cultivation to reach a higher level, which is why they have not immediately brought their imperial weapons to attack.

If word gets out, the greedy, short-sighted, and illiterate Ji family will probably come running with their imperial weapons to rob them.

"The Void Mirror? You're planning to target the Ji family's imperial weapon? Are you confident you can succeed?"

Yan Ruyu looked at Chen Hao with some surprise.

"If we're only talking about bloodline power, I'm probably more qualified than the Ancient Ji family to wield the Void Mirror. But if we're talking about cultivation level, the Beidou Ji family—heh heh~"

Chen Hao chuckled.

If it weren't for his playful nature and desire to see the famous scene of the Four Great Emperors trying to seize the Imperial Weapon, plus the fact that the Ji family had sealed away a Ji Zi, Chen Hao would have already taken the initiative to snatch the Void Mirror.

In terms of foundation, the Ji family doesn't even have a quasi-emperor yet, only a Great Saint level, but it's usually impossible to disturb or awaken such a rare foundation as a Great Saint.

Even if the Great Sage is truly awakened, judging from Chen Hao's experience of brutally beating the weakened Crocodile Ancestor, the cultivation level of an ordinary Great Sage might not be as high as his.

Since he had never fought against the Great Sage at his peak, Chen Hao couldn't make any rash conclusions. He couldn't just boast that he could kill the Great Sage, but with the Emperor Weapon protecting him, the Great Sage couldn't possibly do anything to him.

The last trump card of the Ancient Ji family is nothing more than blood sacrifice to awaken the divine imperial weapon. It is still unknown whether it can be truly awakened, and even if it is awakened, it is uncertain who the Void Mirror will help.

Exactly, Himeko is, after all, the only surviving son of the Void Emperor. To directly steal the Void Mirror feels a bit like bullying her.

The Hime family is undoubtedly the worst of the worst, a bunch of Celestial Dragons, but Himeko is actually quite pitiful.

His father and elder brother were both dead, leaving him all alone. Cultivation, sealing, and quelling rebellions were the main themes of his life. He didn't have any of the bad deeds of a Celestial Dragon, just a miserable, hard-working man.

However, if Ji Haoyue tries to show off but ends up getting taken advantage of and ultimately gives away the Void Mirror for free, then the situation would be different.

Once Chen Hao obtains the Void Mirror, he can immediately use its power to quickly open up space and build a spacetime corridor connecting Beidou and Earth at the fastest speed, without having to toil away as a contractor doing mortar work for so long.

Furthermore, by borrowing the power of the Void Mirror, they could directly capture the Jiang family's Imperial Weapon, the Hengyu Furnace, as well as the jar in Tu Tian's hand, and snowball their power to take off in one fell swoop.

When Himeko is born in the future, and the victim wants to take back the Void Mirror, Chen Hao will probably have already gotten tired of the Void Mirror and finished what he needed to do. He will have at least two imperial weapons, the Hengyu Furnace and the Devouring Demon Jar, so it won't matter if he returns it to Himeko.

"The Beidou Ji family? Chen Hao, could you possibly be a descendant of the Void Emperor from another star field?"

Yan Ruyu was incredibly intelligent. Recalling the previous incident where the Nine Dragons Pulled the Coffin to the Desolate Forbidden Land, she immediately guessed that Chen Hao might be an alien, rather than a native of Beidou.

"I come from an ancient, primordial star, but whether I qualify as a descendant of the void is still debatable. Princess Yan, do you know what it means for an imperial corpse to communicate with spirits? The situation on my home planet is rather complicated—"

Chen Hao spread his hands and then told Yan Ruyu about the special features of Earth, the mechanism of the Reincarnation Seal, and the conditions of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.

Even if his imperial blood was boiling, Chen Hao still identified more with the identity of being a descendant of Yan and Huang than with being a descendant of some void.

If the ancestors were already dead, Chen Hao would definitely have monopolized the right to interpret the scriptures and say whatever he wanted, whatever he could say to get benefits. But the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor are still alive.

These two ancestors in the original work only recognized themselves in this life, that they were all old bodies, new primordial spirits, new memories, and new personalities, and did not acknowledge themselves as the Void Emperor and the Eternal Universe Emperor. As a junior, Chen Hao naturally respected their opinions.

Although the mechanism of the Reincarnation Seal made Chen Hao aware that as long as a person has the Reincarnation Seal, they haven't completely died, they can still be regarded as a new personality that arises from the same person's amnesia.

However, with examples like Chen Nan, Chen Zhan, and Dugu Baitian, the concept of past and present lives ultimately depends on the individual's own will; it's a matter of belief.

Many people believe that even if it is the same body and soul, if the memories and personality are different, or if there is a split personality, then it cannot be considered a person.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu was not listening to the peculiarities of the ancient star, nor did she care about the spirit communication of the Emperor's corpse; what she cared about more was Chen Hao's own experience.

"A miraculous flower that has risen against all odds in this land of declining Dharma, and so young at that —"

Yan Ruyu stared intently at Chen Hao with her beautiful eyes. She suddenly wanted to ask him if he was serious about the betrothal gifts he had just mentioned and his intention to marry her. It was somewhat like they had hit it off during a blind date and she had fallen head over heels for him.
