People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 950: Chapter 116: The Truth_5

“`

A powerful figure suddenly stood up and said, “Great Xia borders your country, so when the celestial beings left, you were most worried about us, weren’t you?”

“Here, in front of everyone, I can promise you that when the celestial beings leave, Great Xia will not make a move against Great Yu…”

The continuous advising from the crowd gradually calmed the Great Yu king’s heart.

His bottom line, too, had slowly lowered with the experiences of these days.

Now, hearing that they could still maintain their Great Yu national title and heritage, he could accept it.

Finally, after a long period of contemplation, the Great Yu king slowly said, “Since it is so, I am willing to abdicate…”

Uttering this sentence seemed to drain all his strength, and afterwards, he collapsed directly onto the dragon throne.

Touching the patterns on the dragon throne, he felt an overwhelming desolation.

“Good, the Great Yu king truly understands the bigger picture and has courage!”

The others immediately burst into acclamation.

In the end, both parties agreed that three days later, the abdication ceremony would be held.

At the same time, this news spread throughout the world on that day.

The upper echelons of each country naturally knew the truth and the whole story.

But for the common people, it still had to be concealed, omitting the creatures from the Spirit World and the legendary beings.

They merely mentioned the Great Yu king’s gamble with a celestial being.

Thus, the entire world began to fervently discuss celestial beings, and even, many people started to search the historical records for possible evidences of celestial beings.

“So it turns out that celestial beings have always been around, playing among us…”

“Indeed, how fortunate we are to see a living celestial being during our lifetime…”

“That’s the Great Yu Empire, forced to abdicate by a celestial being…”

“Heh, you only think the throne is important because you believe it is; to that celestial being, perhaps it was just something to experience…”

Time passed swiftly.

Three days later, the abdication ceremony, not open to the general public but to the high-level officials from all over the world, was about to be live-streamed.

It wasn’t until the final stage of the ceremony that Zhao Yu finally appeared amid the attention of thousands.

“The celestial being looks so young…”

“That’s not his body. It’s said that this Zhao Yu is just an ordinary person from Yan Country…”

“It must be a case of spiritual possession…”

Of course, the venue itself was silent and solemn; the discussion was all among the high-level officials watching the live broadcast from millions of miles away.

“From today on, I am the 335th king of the Great Yu Empire…”

Zhao Yu said with a smile on his face, “As it was in the past, so it shall continue. I have no interest in managing the nation…”

When the old king passed the crown to Zhao Yu and was feeling desolate, he heard these words.

This moved him deeply, and he felt that it was indeed the behavior of a celestial being.

“The affairs of managing the nation should still be handled by you…”

For Zhao Yu, his purpose in wanting the throne was, of course, the nation’s fortune, or rather, its destiny, hoping to achieve a certain goal through it.

He only needed to hold the title, to be the king, without getting involved in any other management.

The old king felt immensely honored after the mental preparation of these days.

He also came to a realization.

A celestial being—that’s a true celestial being. Being able to abdicate to a celestial being is also an honor.

Moreover, if served well, perhaps the celestial being might bestow him an Immortal Pill, to extend his life.

Zhao Yu disliked trouble, simply taking over the crown, and after confirming his position as king, he hastily left the stage, leaving all the problems behind.

The old king had no choice but to carry on the rest of the ceremony alone, addressing the empty air.

“Your Majesty, what about the harem?”

“Shut up, I’m no longer the king…” The old king frowned at the old eunuch beside him and spoke indifferently, “The harem is naturally for His Holiness now. I have no right to deal with it. From today on, I shall move out of the royal palace…”

During these days, he had also been contemplating how to please the celestial being, to ensure his enjoyment so that he would leave sooner.

About the harem, he did not wish to keep it, but feared the celestial being would not be satisfied, so he could only leave those women there.

Besides, he had specifically selected a batch of new maids for the celestial being during these three days.

Just as everyone was wondering what the celestial being emperor would do after his ascension.

Unexpectedly, the celestial being emperor disappeared.

For several consecutive days, no one saw any trace of him, as though his becoming the emperor was merely a whim.

This, in turn, relieved the old king, who felt that the celestial being truly had a playful disposition and might return the throne to him after some time.

Little did he know, at this moment, for Zhao Yu, it was a painful process of cultivation.

After obtaining the throne, he had initially wanted to visit the harem. After all, it contained the most beautiful women of Great Yu—wasn’t that part of the emperor’s experience?

Little did he expect that his true body, Zhao Yu, wouldn’t give him this time, pulling him into the Spirit World instead and starting a frenzied period of cultivation.

“I don’t have much time left, cough cough, women, you’ll have plenty of time for those later. What’s more important now is to get you to the sixth-tier as soon as possible…”

The true Zhao Yu looked even older than before, unexpectedly turning white-haired.

Keep in mind, the true Zhao Yu was only in his early twenties, only a few years older than the clone system.

This was purely a result of incessantly burning his life force these days.

The sixth layer of the Spirit World was somewhat a strain for the true Zhao Yu.

After all, he was only tier-four, even though he was the strongest being and ruler of another world, yet in this world, he was far from being able to claim rulership.
