Chapter 2106: Chapter 2052–2053: Taking Divine Cities in Succession
The King of Great Yu stood with his hands behind his back, a trace of golden light flickering in his eyes. As long as the Northern Border was recovered, even if Great Yu was never truly transformed into a Divine Dynasty, the support of various secret techniques and divine abilities would elevate his combat power to the ultimate limit of a Supreme Overlord, enabling further strategic planning at that time.
According to his agreement with those people, only by truly reclaiming the Northern Border homeland and gaining the qualification to transform into a Divine Dynasty, would they continue to invest more resources in support. Otherwise, everything would be over.
Although the King of Great Yu knew that the other party would not act without seeing any gains, and even increasing support had ulterior motives with their own plans, the King of Great Yu could only drink poison to quench thirst and choose to deal with the tiger, because he understood the current situation allowed him no room for overthinking and left him with few choices.
For him, the only true enemy now was the Duke Dingguo, a formidable figure who had, for countless years, waged war against the Great Yu Dynasty and forced them to disgrace and relinquish rights. The mere Governor Xu had never concerned him.
“Father, Governor Xu once achieved great military exploits and even received the Vermilion Bird Divine Power from the Great Ming God, a true secret technique of the Jade Emperor Lineage that enables him to incarnate as the White Vermilion Bird Holy Beast, wield the Vermilion Bird Fire, and communicate with the power of the Four Spirits Vermilion Bird, making his strength not to be underestimated,” the Crown Prince of Great Yu said with a trace of apprehension in his eyes. The Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Spirits, is renowned as the preeminent holy beast of flames and holds a significant status within the Heavenly Court.
Having mastered the Vermilion Bird Fire, Governor Xu’s strength must not be as weak as it seems. Although he cannot directly become undying like the Vermilion Bird, his vitality will be exceptionally tenacious.
The Vermilion Bird, wielding the power of flames, is domineering and terrifying, yet Governor Xu, who comprehended the Vermilion Bird Power, appeared very calm, clearly not influenced by the Vermilion Bird’s power. This reveals that his strength is extraordinary, and even his temperament and cultivation far exceed his actual strength.
The Crown Prince of Great Yu recalled the legendary experiences of Governor Xu, rumored to belong to a declining tribe in his world of origin, which could have faced annihilation had they not merged into the Divine Land World.
Though the threat of extinction was removed after merging into the Divine Land World, his own heritage was nearly severed, had it not been for the nurturing of the prior Duke Dingguo, he might have perished. However, it is precisely these tribulations that endowed Governor Xu with a temperament surpassing many strong individuals. Although temperament does not equate to cultivation level, it can deeply influence a strong individual’s combat power and even their path forward.
Only those truly standing at the pinnacle possess a temperament exceeding that of many strong individuals. Insufficient temperament leads to deviations, even permanently barring entry into higher realms. The shackles of the mind are the hardest to break.
Observing the confident King of Great Yu beside him, the Crown Prince of Great Yu slightly frowned, suddenly feeling an unfamiliar sensation, as if the wise and intelligent father he knew was replaced by a strongman lost in self, even losing much of his vigilance. This ludicrous thought flickered through the Crown Prince’s mind, filling his heart with gloom.
He did not know from whom his father had received support or promises that endowed him with such confidence and certainty about the current situation.
Though the Northern Border was once the homeland of the Great Yu Dynasty, it had been lost for innumerable years, managed by the Duke Dingguo’s lineage for generations, and Xu City had nearly become their new Ancestral Land. The other side would definitely not easily abandon this place.
The Crown Prince glanced at the King of Great Yu, his heart filled with worry, yet found it difficult to speak up.
Because their military situation was currently promising, with troops continuously advancing into the Northern Border, even if he voiced his judgment, not only would the King not believe him, but the numerous soldiers would also definitely not believe. It would instead cause unwarranted discontent.
The Crown Prince, after all, remained a Crown Prince, not having truly come to power yet, meaning many matters could not be decisively judged. Even should he ascend to the position of King, he could not defy everyone’s will. After all, the imperial court is composed of people.
Suppressing his thoughts, the Crown Prince of Great Yu directed his gaze into the distance, as if seeing the hidden forces deep within the Northern Border, and involuntarily heightened his vigilance.
“Father, oh father, I do not know which strong individual’s promise and support you received that made you lose yourself because of this period’s successes, and become reckless. But one must know that everything in this world is based on one’s own strength. Others’ support can always depart. They will support us as long as we are valuable, yet will also immediately withdraw if we encounter failure,” the Crown Prince’s mind was tumultuous, yet he knew he could not dissuade his father now. What he could do was to advance steadily, seizing one Divine City after another, ensuring stability even with the Duke Dingguo’s lineage’s great moves, at least preventing the situation from becoming irreparable.
Everything was unfolding as the King of Great Yu anticipated. The entire army of the Great Yu Dynasty entered the Northern Border County without encountering significant disasters, with defenses being extremely weak. One Divine City after another easily fell into their hands. The army continued to advance, marching towards Xu City. If they could capture this core Divine City of Xu City, the entire Northern Border of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would surely collapse immediately, and these ancestral lands would fall back into their hands.
