Like a survivor after a catastrophe.
“Who could have imagined that he was Your Majesty?”
Your Majesty had been missing for so many years and now has appeared…”
“Strange… so strange…”
“I couldn’t recognize Your Majesty, and I can’t fully blame myself for it…”
“I think Your Majesty must have forgiven my earlier offense…”
While pondering, Li Yuanba murmured to himself.
After muttering a few sentences, Li Yuanba walked slowly towards the gates of the Imperial City.
As he walked, he shook his head, seemingly lost in thought and unable to find an answer.
……..
When Li Yuanba left,
Elsewhere,
The Great Tang Emperor and Li Chengqian had already entered the inner hall of the Imperial Palace.
They arrived at the sleeping chamber of the Great Tang Emperor.
The sleeping chamber of the Great Tang Emperor, despite the unknown number of years, still looked as pristine as ever.
All the jade stones, all the decorations, seemed to cleanse themselves, enduring through countless years to remain as lustrous as new.
The Great Tang Emperor entered his sleeping chamber, glanced around, and lowered his gaze with a flood of nostalgia and sorrow that began to spread from the depths of his eyes.
“Father, the Jade Seal is placed on that desk. Over so many years, no one but me has touched it,” said Li Chengqian to the Great Tang Emperor.
The Great Tang Emperor, hearing Li Chengqian’s words, turned his head slightly to look at him, “What did you do with the Jade Seal?”
Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, then a frank smile appeared on his face.
“Father, after all, I am the Crown Prince. All these years, I too wanted to be Emperor.”
“When you were gone, I was the Emperor.”
“But…”
“Without the Great Tang, what use was there in being the Emperor?”
Li Chengqian gazed at the golden-yellow wooden box on the desk, the warm white jade inside, his eyes revealing an indescribable meaning.
The Great Tang Emperor simply nodded slightly and said nothing more. After a moment of silence, he added, “These years must have been hard on you.”
“You will be the future Emperor of the Great Tang.”
After saying this, the Great Tang Emperor walked up to the desk, picked up the golden-yellow wooden box, and took out the Jade Seal inside.
The Jade Seal, made from warm jade about the size of a human head, bore dragon patterns and many intricate characters.
The most eye-catching text read:
Great Tang Flourishes Forever.
“Great Tang Flourishes Forever,” murmured the Great Tang Emperor while looking at the inscription on the Jade Seal, “Can the Great Tang truly flourish forever?”
The Great Tang Emperor held the Jade Seal in the palm of his hand, gently pressing it against his forehead.

Connecting with the Jade Seal,
they released a radiance of a thousand hues.
In just a short time, the entire chamber of the Great Tang Emperor was filled with the light of the Jade Seal.
Li Chengqian stood aside, quietly observing the Great Tang Emperor claiming ownership of the Jade Seal in order to control Chang’an City, without making any move.
There was only one Emperor of the Great Tang, and that was the Great Tang Emperor himself.
Li Chengqian himself had not been endowed with the mandate of heaven, and Chang’an City was not something he could claim as his own.
Now watching the Great Tang Emperor claim Chang’an City, Li Chengqian knew in his heart that only the Great Tang Emperor could claim it.
Yet, upon witnessing this scene,
waves of emotion stirred in Li Chengqian’s heart.
A hint of envy surfaced in the depths of his eyes.
Chang’an City could look upon some Immortal Buddhas with disdain and compete with them.
Even if it were not a symbol of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, just as a means of defense, Chang’an City was a treasure of the highest grade.
Li Chengqian watched the Great Tang Emperor claiming the Jade Seal for a while, then thought to leave.
He stood at the door,
trying not to disturb the Great Tang Emperor.
Even though this Imperial Palace and even the Great Tang Chang’an City no longer had many people left.
Just as Li Chengqian prepared to leave the sleeping chamber of the Great Tang Emperor, he suddenly sensed something, paused his steps, and slightly turned his head to look at the Great Tang Emperor.
He saw the Great Tang Emperor, in the midst of claiming the Jade Seal to control the entire Chang’an City, had suddenly, without warning, begun to sweat profusely, as droplets the size of beans slid down his face.
The sweat quickly drenched the Great Tang Emperor’s robes.
Furthermore, Li Chengqian noticed that the complexion of the Great Tang Emperor had suddenly darkened.
Suddenly,
a roar like that of a fierce tiger burst forth from the mouth of the Great Tang Emperor.
“Who is it?!”
“Who is it?!!”
“Who has taken control of Chang’an!?”
“Show yourself!!!”
The Great Tang Emperor’s face contorted in rage, as if someone had touched upon a taboo, and at this moment, he seemed to verge on a hysterical madness.
“What is this…?”
Li Chengqian, witnessing the Great Tang Emperor’s unseemly behavior, and hearing the words from his mouth, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“What?”
“Chang’an City has been controlled by someone??”
“That’s impossible!!”
“You’ve been gone for so many years, Father, and besides me, no one else has touched the Jade Seal. How could Chang’an City be controlled by someone else??”
Li Chengqian had initially planned to leave, but at this moment, seeing the Great Tang Emperor in such a state and hearing the words from his mouth, he could no longer step out of the chamber.
He just stood there, silently watching the Great Tang Emperor.
The Great Tang Emperor felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.
His Primordial Spirit, through the Jade Seal, beheld the entire Chang’an.
With the Jade Seal, he imprinted his own power bit by bit upon Chang’an City.
