Chapter 823: Chapter 235: The Struggle Between Imperial and Alien Stars, Human Emperor System Reigns

"It’s a pity... you won’t be able to use it."

Ji Hu’s expression didn’t change; he only quietly watched him.

Grand Tutor Gao, or rather Xia She, seemed even more eager to talk.

A ruler, though young, already possessing the dignity that makes him qualified to engage in a conversation.

"You must be very curious as to why I, clearly Grand Tutor Gao with a spotless background, everything traceable, suddenly became the ruler of the Xia Dynasty."

Xia She spoke eloquently, "The reason is simple. In this world, there are true Saints, but these Saints aren’t as people imagine.

They are not the high and unattached beings who remain uninvolved with the human world, but rather, like you and me, they also have desires.

Of course, we call them Saints; it’s just our name for them.

To them, they call themselves... Star Spirits."

"Star Spirits?"

Ji Hu’s curiosity was piqued.

Xia She said, "Unfortunately, there is not just one Star Spirit; there are several.

But only one Star Spirit can rule this land, and that one becomes the Emperor Star.

The Emperor Star shines, illuminating the sky.

The rest are Extraterrestrial Stars.

The struggle between the Emperor Star and Extraterrestrial Star has been ongoing for ages."

"What about the Emperor Star? What about the Extraterrestrial Star?" Ji Hu asked.

Xia She raised his hand and pointed to Yu Chang Path: "The Dragon Vein, you can consider it as a wisp of breath from the Emperor Star.

All those who have died on this land are actually preserved by the Dragon Vein, but even with its power, it can only support a few loyal souls walking on the earth.

Do you know why?"

Ji Hu said, "Because of the Extraterrestrial Star, the struggle with the Extraterrestrial Star drains the power of the Dragon Vein.

Like wolves eyeing a tiger; a tiger may be strong, but constantly being drained will lead to fatigue.

In the world’s great scheme, long division must unite, and long unity must divide; upheaval and stability always alternate.

And the Emperor Star, I suppose, also takes its turn?

Today the Emperor Star, tomorrow the Extraterrestrial Star.

Today the Dragon Vein shines brightly, but it’s not necessarily the same as yesterday."

Xia She praised, "Good analogical insight, not bad.

The Great Zhou has its Dragon Vein, and my Great Xia also has its Dragon Vein.

I was preserved by that Dragon Vein and then descended upon Grand Tutor Gao, replaced his causality, and presided over the chaos.

Between Xia and Zhou lies Shang, and the first half was still the Emperor Star from the Xia Dynasty, but the second half was supported by the Dragon Vein of Shang."

Ji Hu finally showed a look of astonishment.

Xia She smiled as he looked at him.

At this moment, the two seemed not to be enemies but reverted to the teacher and student in the Imperial Study, questioning and answering.

But this Q&A had concluded.

The answer was clear.

The Emperor of the human world is nothing but a puppet of the Emperor Star. If people want to change dynasties, they change dynasties.

Even if it is Xia, how is it not just a dynasty turned to Shang?

Even if it is Shang, how is it not just a change to Zhou?

So the Emperor... is also a person of plight.

One person of plight meeting another naturally speaks more.

Now that the words are done, Xia She slightly raised his hand, and the Spiritual Long Sword had already flown up, buzzing softly.

"There’s no personal grudge between us; perhaps you would be a good Emperor, or maybe... one day in the future, you might be awakened.

But the possibility is slim because you lack power and wisdom; you haven’t completed your growth.

However, you must leave now.

Let me send you on your journey as your teacher."

Xia She was about to strike.

In the face of life and death, Ji Hu was not afraid but quietly looked down at the kite and suddenly asked, "Teacher, this kite... is it real or false?"

Upon hearing the words "Teacher," Xia She’s form shuddered before firmly saying, "Real."

When this word fell, Ji Hu suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and began to laugh.

He laughed exceptionally happily; the joy seemed to erupt from the depths of his chest like a suppressed volcano.

He closed his eyes, pressed down on the kite, and suddenly grabbed the long sword by his side with his right hand, then stood up.

His originally declining aura suddenly surged, as if burning.

Xia She asked, "Do you want a better posture to die?"

Ji Hu said, "Just following what he said."

Xia She teased, "Self-reliance?"

Ji Hu no longer spoke; being the Emperor, he naturally had access to the best resources and learned the Imperial Skill preserved by the Dragon Vein Loyal Soul.

But because he was the Emperor, he had too many things to watch over, thus only reaching Sixth Grade now.

Xia She laughed heartily, "If self-reliance were effective, why would we become puppets of the Saints?"

He stepped forward, the suspended Spiritual Long Sword suddenly split into tens of swords, surrounding his body, shimmering coldly.

He was laughing because he no longer believed.

He was questioning loudly because... he had once believed.

"If they want you alive, you live; if they want you dead, you die.

If they want your dynasty to fall, it falls.

What can you do?

What do you understand?

Just a newborn calf harboring naive delusions."

Xia She laughed loudly.

Ji Hu gripped his sword with both hands; the distant sounds of killing waves crashed here as if about to break through the palace, flames and heat intertwined like a giant serpent coiled around Dragon Roar Hall.

The young Emperor’s eyes resolute, he shouted, "Great Zhou’s Emperor Ji Hu, willing to defend the land and unify the country. Even if only I remain, I... will not retreat!"

The man told him to be self-reliant.

Thus, "defending the land and unifying the country" is his self-reliance.

Following this path, as long as he lives, he will not stray.

His grip on the sword grew firmer, and the determination in his eyes deeper.

Despite his unattractive appearance, at this moment, Ji Hu gave people a genuine sense of royalty.

"It’s a pity no one will witness you at this moment.
