Ancient Godly Monarch

The stairway of the Lifire Palace was towering and majestic, incomparably wide. Countless people climbed up, wanting to offer their congratulations, all of them respectful and pious.

From below, as everyone inclined their heads and stared at the Lifire Palace above, the ancient looking buildings seemed to glow with a holy light under the sunlight.

Today, was the day of official ascension for Qin Wentian.

The troops of the various governor manor have arrived, stationed in all directions. All of them had solemn expressions and exuded an imposing aura. This was especially so for troops of the northern governor manor. All of them raised their heads with pride and glory. The new palace lord was once the governor in charge of them, from their northern governor manor.

Back then those years ago, who would have imagined that the young man sent to take over the northern governor’s manor by the Lifire Empyrean would actually have such a day today.

Right now, the Evil Emperor had already become the new northern governor. He stood at the foremost of his troops with his vice governors and attendants behind him. Many of these subordinates were new faces. After all, there were too many who had betrayed him due to a single sentence from the Lifire Empyrean from the battle back then. Although they were forced by the situation, a betrayal was ultimately still a betrayal. This indicated that those people were not loyal at the time when he needed them most. Since they were not loyal, he naturally didn’t want to use them.

For the other governors, other than Sun Qian and Lin Ba, they were all replaced by new people. The Lifire Palace now had a completely brand new appearance.

But regardless of new faces or old faces, all of them had solemn looks on their faces right now. They all understood that times have changed. The new palace lord was even stronger compared to the old one and their Lifire Palace was on the path of rising up, becoming a legend in history.

As they climbed up step by step of the majestic stairway, the higher they climbed, the more impressive the sight was. As they neared the depths of the Lifire Palace, they continued climbing up until they saw the highest peak of the Lifire Palace, the Lifire Great Hall.

The stone pillars here were so tall that they seemed capable of touching the sky. They radiated a domineering air with engravings of dragons and phoenixes there, constructed from gleaming emperor-ranked stones.

All the way ahead, there was a throne with a mini-stairway underneath. Many people then stood before the throne.

At this moment, a white-robed figure could be seen seated on the throne. His simple clothing wasn’t impressive, those handsome features of his also couldn’t be considered tyrannical. However, as that transcendent white-robed young man sat there, the words ‘boundless magnificence’ flashed across their minds. Only these words could describe him.

The new palace lord Qin Wentian has sat upon his throne. Beside him, the masked Di Tian could be seen standing there, surveying the crowd. These people gathered here were mostly important personnel of the Lifire Palace such as protectors, the nine monarchs, as well as the governors.

“The Xuanyuan Clan of Lifelong City congratulates Palace Lord Qin.” On the stairway, a group of people walked over as they offered their congratulations.

“Jialan Jiangshan of the Jialan Clan, leads the members of my clan here to pay our respects and offer our congratulations to Palace Lord Qin.” Jialan Jiangshan bowed as he spoke in a loud voice,

“Mo Ting of the Mo Clan from Lifire City congratulates Palace Lord Qin.”

“…..”

Countless calls of respect rang out in the great hall, creating waves of echoes. The other people who weren’t allowed into the great hall all knelt on one knee on the stairways outside, lowering their heads in the direction of the great hall.

“Central Governor Sun Qian leads my troops to pay our respects to Palace Lord.” Sun Qian called out as he bowed. The ordinary troops knelt on one knee to express their respect.

“Eastern Governor Lin Ba leads my troops from the eastern city regions here to pay our respects to Palace Lord.”

Countless people voiced their respects, their sounds converging like thunder. Even more people below inclined their heads to stare at the grand and majestic sight, only feeling a feeling of excitement surging in their hearts. A brand new era of the Lifire Palace was about to unfold.

Qin Wentian sat on the throne and observed everything calmly but he was also sighing with emotions in his heart. Everyone in this world pursued the path of the strong, seeking unparalleled strength because only with enough strength would it mean that you can obtain everything. With such towering authority as well as worship from the masses, what a shocking sight this was? Even if he didn’t grow infatuated with power and authority, he was still deeply shocked.

“Now, I, Qin have taken over the position of the Lifire Palace Lord. In the future, I would still have to depend on all of you heavily. Everyone, there’s no need to be so polite.” Qin Wentian waved his hands and spoke. A moment later, the people either inclined their heads or straightened their backs as they stared in the direction of the Lifire Palace’s great hall.

“Envoy of the Lifelong Saint Hall is here by the orders of the Realmlord to congratulate Palace Lord Qin.” At this moment, another voice rang out. Qin Wentian didn’t feel too surprised by this. Three days ago, this envoy had already said that he would be coming here and there would be a pleasant surprise for him as well.

At this moment, the envoy led a group of experts over. The group of experts behind him were lifting a sedan as they walked into the great hall.

Qin Wentian stared at the sedan feeling somewhat puzzled. After that, the curtains covering the entrance of the sedan were lifted as an alluring and beautiful figure slowly walked out from within. She inclined her head, her beautiful eyes staring at Qin Wentian. She seemed capable of mesmerizing the masses with a single smile.

Qin Wentian stood up from his throne, he stared at the beautiful figure before him as he started laughing. His smile was extremely radiant. Everyone else was admiring the beautiful looks of that maiden. She was clad in red, radiating incomparable charm, her clothes fully accentuating her figure. A phoenix crown could be seen on her head, giving a sense of nobility, presenting a stunning sight of magnificence.

Many people had already managed to guess her identity. Qin Wentian’s story was no longer a secret, circulated all around by people. Ever since he took up the position of the northern governor back then, he had been doing so for the sake of one person. That person was none other than the bandit head those years ago – Ye Qianyu.

Appearing here at this moment, this beauty stood before the new palace lord and could even cause the new palace lord to stand from his throne…Other than Ye Qianyu, there wouldn’t be another person.

“Palace Lord Qin, this time around, your actions in suppressing the chaos of the Lifire Palace have earned you sufficient merit for the Realmlord to grant amnesty towards Ye Qianyu. He hopes that you would be able to govern the Lifire Palace well on his behalf and not let down his expectations.” That envoy smiled. Qin Wentian’s act of killing the Lifire Empyrean had actually become an act of suppressing chaos. Naturally, this was only words. The Lifelong Realmlord could use any excuse as long as he wanted to.

“I, Qin, will definitely not disappoint his eminence.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded.

“Mhm, I’ll bid farewell then.” That envoy nodded and led his group away along with the sedan, only leaving Ye Qianyu behind.

Qin Wentian walked down the steps leading up to his throne, and came to Ye Qianyu’s side. He stared at the beautiful maiden as his gaze grew gentle, “It has been tough on you all these years.”

Ye Qianyu smiled lightly. She naturally had seen how majestic the scene was during Qin Wentian’s ascension. From the bottom of her heart, she truly felt happy, as well as a streak of pride. Right now, he was no longer that young man who was merely an immortal king. He is truly an expert that stood at the peak of Lifire City.

“If you feel that I’ve suffered, why don’t you marry me and let me become the official empress of the Lifire Palace?” Ye Qianyu didn’t say this out loud, she transmitted her voice using a playful tone to Qin Wentian. Her charming smile grew wider, instantly causing atmosphere to be spoiled. Qin Wentian’s face was suddenly filled with black lines as he mused silently to himself. “This demoness hasn’t changed at all.”

However, his smile grew warmer the longer he looked at her.

“Hmph, men are always only good with words.” Ye Qianyu continued to transmit her voice over. After that, she turned and faced the countless people gathered here as the charming smile on her face vanished. Her expression turned regal, filled with a sense of elegance as she spoke, “Today, Palace Lord Qin has ascended to the throne of the Lifire Palace. Since there are so many outstanding heroes gathered here, let there be a banquet held in Lifire City for three entire days. There will be no lack of delicacies and good wine, everyone can enjoy yourselves to the utmost. Palace Lord Qin shall bear all the expenses.”

With her bearing and the phoenix crown on her head, the Ye Qianyu at this moment was like a motherly model of the nation. Countless people stared at her flawless figure as they silently mused that most probably, this Ye Qianyu would undoubtedly become the Lifire Palace Lord’s woman.

“Many thanks, Palace Lord.” Everyone bowed and intoned. Their faces were all filled with smiles and their gazes had a hint of respect when they looked at Ye Qianyu, not daring to profane her beauty. This woman was the Lifire Palace Lord’s woman, they could only admire her beauty.

From the crowd, Jialan Qiuyue glanced at that flawlessly beautiful figure. She had always been very confident in her own beauty and that she wasn’t inferior to anyone in the Lifire Palace. However the Ye Qianyu at this moment, was undoubtedly more outstanding than her. The light of the entire Lifire Palace seemed to be shining on Ye Qianyu. The glory Qin Wentian obtained by becoming the new palace lord seemed also to belong to her.

What was Ye Qianyu feeling now? Did she feel a sense of elation because she had finished waiting for all the dark gloomy clouds to disperse, revealing the sun? It was truly a pity for Beauty Xiao.

Jialan Qiuyue’s beautiful eyes involuntarily glanced over to Di Tian. Di Tian was still as quiet and as mysterious as ever, standing at Qin Wentian’s side. It felt like even if the heavens came crumbling down, his expression wouldn’t change. He was always that confident. Even if he didn’t become the new palace lord, it seemed that he didn’t mind it at all.

However, did he truly not mind it?

He was the one who orchestrated so many schemes but the position of the Lifire Palace Lord ended up in Qin Wentian’s hands. Since the Lifelong Realmlord specially created a position of vice palace lord for him, there might be another layer of meaning hidden underneath everything.

At this moment, Ye Qianyu’s beautiful eyes turned over, smiling at Qin Wentian. The look in her eyes had a look like her plan had succeeded. Her earlier words to everyone was like announcing that she, Ye Qianyu, would be the female mistress of the entire Lifire Palace.

Staring at the smile on her face, Qin Wentian smiled wryly. Before this, he was always so worried about this demoness. But now that she has returned, he would undoubtedly not be free from worrying about her. After all, back then when he was her subordinate, he was played right and left by her, twiddling around in her palm.

Stepping out, Qin Wentian took advantage of the motion and held onto Ye Qianyu’s hands. Her body trembled a little but she didn’t reject it. She smiled charmingly, the look in her eyes was capable of toppling empires.

Qin Wentian held her hand as they continued walking forward. The young man in white exuded boundless magnificence, the young woman in red with the phoenix crown on her head exuded a sense of radiant beauty. The two of them were like an immortal couple. They continued to the top of the steps and turned, staring down at the countless people gathered here. Under the eyes of everyone, Qin Wentian tightened his hold on her hands as his eyes flickered with even more gentleness and warmth.

“There are some things I’m unable to give you. However, if you wish for this empire and if I can obtain it, everything shall be yours if you want it.” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to her. Ye Qianyu naturally understood his words. She had a smile on her face but within the depths of her beautiful eyes, there were actually tears forming as they rolled down her face. The suffering she endured during all these years no longer mattered. She had never expected that she would be capable of being jealous over other women before but at this moment, she truly felt a strong sense of jealousy.

Qin Wentian was saying that he could give her all material things if she wanted them. The only things he couldn’t give were the most important positions in his heart. She truly wanted to see who exactly the women that occupied the unshakable positions of importance deep in Qin Wentian’s heart were!
