You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Is Your Highness going to the Temple of Thousand Gods alone, or should I accompany you?" Baili Fengzhi asked.

"There's no need." Lin Yue shook his head slightly, "I only need to take the Divine Artifact and Phoenix Crown with me."

Baili Fengzhi just nodded in agreement.

She understood that although her true strength was close to Lin Yue's, the gap was still too large without the Imperial Decree. If they were attacked by someone in the Saint realm, she wouldn't be able to help.

Instead, she would become a liability.

Therefore, she could only hope that the Blood Sea Saint Mother would be ready soon and allow her to achieve Harmonization through the Bloodline Path and enter the Saint realm, so she could be of great help to Your Highness.

"Please be careful, Your Highness," Baili Fengzhi said softly.

"Before you achieve Harmonization, just stay at home and focus on having children."

Lin Yue smiled at her and shook his head helplessly, "Unfortunately, your belly hasn't shown any movement these past two years. If you haven't conceived before I travel the Human World, we'll have to wait until I return."

"I don't know what's going on, maybe it's a physical issue..." Baili Fengzhi said in a low voice.

Lin Yue shook his head slightly.

His physique was that of an Acquired Primordial Body combined with the Indestructible Divine Body of the Earth Phase, not very compatible with Baili Fengzhi's Fire Phoenix Divine Body.

However, he also had the Fire Element, so there was hope theoretically.

Or perhaps they hadn't been diligent enough?

"I'll think of a way later."

Lin Yue shook his head slightly and laughed, "Let's try harder recently, maybe try several times a day. Anyway, I recover quickly."

Baili Fengzhi coughed lightly, "Your Highness, it's broad daylight now."

"Haha, let's talk about it in the evening then."

Lin Yue laughed as he walked outside, "I'm heading to the Imperial Palace's Temple of Thousand Gods."

...

However, after arriving at the Imperial Palace, Lin Yue didn't hurry to the Temple of Thousand Gods. Instead, he went to the Lake Heart Pavilion of Yao Shen Lake first.

After waiting for a moment, he saw a female official in a crimson official robe flying over, waving her hand to form a barrier, then transforming into the elegantly dressed, exquisitely beautiful Empress.

"Speak, what's the matter this time?" the Empress asked.

Lin Yue walked forward, reached out to embrace her waist, and smiled, "Can't I seek you out if there's nothing? Is that how you perceive me in your heart?"

"What else?" the Empress hummed lightly, symbolically struggled a bit, then softly hit his chest, whispering, "You are being impudent."

"Yes, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Lin Yue chuckled softly, holding her even tighter, "I actually came to see you for no particular reason today. I'm preparing to travel, so I came to bid farewell and understand something from you."

"Travel?" The Empress was slightly stunned.

Without asking much, she simply advised, "You are a Prince, and in your past life, you were an important figure among the Demon Clan. You are highly noticeable... You will inevitably be a key target for the Demon Clan now. Remember not to reveal your travel itinerary to anyone."

"I understand."

Lin Yue smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

"You mentioned earlier you wanted to understand something from me?" The Empress changed the topic, "What is it?"

"About the Human Clan's fortune."

Lin Yue spoke softly, "You were once the Human Clan's Holy Daughter and even oversaw the National Treasure, the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron. Do you know if there's any way to utilize the Human Clan's fortune?"

"Human Clan's fortune? Utilization method?" The Empress seemed puzzled, "There's really no utilization method. The Human Clan's fortune is like luck is to an individual, it's an unseen aspect, without any practical utilization method."

She pondered for a moment, then said, "From what I know, fortune is related to the operation of the Heavenly Dao. If there really is any utilization method, it would be in refining a National Treasure that stabilizes fortune. The reason the Human Clan has survived the Eternal Night until now is that the Human Ancestor and Human Emperor jointly refined the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron to stabilize the Human Clan's fortune."

"Stabilizing fortune..."

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then asked, "So, the national fortune associated with the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron is equivalent to the Human Clan's fortune?"

"You could say that. After all, the Great Yong now represents the entire Human Clan. The national fortune of Great Yong is indeed equal to the Human Clan's fortune."

The Empress nodded slightly and hesitated for a moment before adding, "However, I feel that the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron is somewhat different now than before. The Human Clan's fortune associated with it seems to be far less than before, maybe just about twenty to thirty percent. I have no idea what has caused this..."

"Oh?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

The reason he sought out the Empress was indeed out of curiosity.

Just a few days ago, he suddenly heard a big secret—

"Do you know? The Crown Prince of Great Yong is nearly invincible within the Yong Realm, not just because he is the Crown Prince, but because he possesses a true National Treasure, blessed by the Heavenly Dao. However, it requires the connection of half of the Human Clan's fortune to utilize this National Treasure."

—This was a secret of the Seven Ring Level.

At that time, he thought of the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron, which was said to stabilize the Human Clan's fortune, but he hadn't heard of the Crown Prince using the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron against enemies, nor had he heard of any other effects of the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron.

Now, hearing the Empress's words, he suddenly had some understanding.

The Human Clan's fortune associated with the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron was far less than before. Perhaps it was because half of the Human Clan's fortune was associated with that truly invincible National Treasure?

However...

The Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron was associated with at most twenty to thirty percent of the Human Clan's fortune. The Crown Prince's true National Treasure was associated with fifty percent of the Human Clan's fortune.

Where had the remaining twenty to thirty percent of the Human Clan's fortune gone?

"I've heard that national fortune is related to the will of the masses, and public outrage may also lead to the dispersion and weakening of national fortune?" Lin Yue spoke.
