After Chu Yuan seized the grand temple, the explosions in the central region gradually subsided and fell into stillness, only a few scattered treasures were carried by the shockwave and hurled into the distance.


    "Huyan Bo!" Chu Yuan ordered.


    "Your Majesty, I am here!" answered Huyan Bo.


    "Lead our armies, follow the shockwave and collect the resources scattered around. This is a rare occasion and a fabulous time for our Imperial Dynasty to accumulate wealth. And whoever dares to obstruct you, use our armies to crush them directly!"


    Although a great majority of the treasures had been collected, there remained a significant number scattered around that should not be overlooked.


    "I understand!"


    It was the right moment for Huyan Bo.


    His eyes were now piercing through the infinite void, gazing at the calmed central region. An absolute restriction was formed by the lingering chaotic divine light.


    Some gods were circling around there, unable to find a way to enter.


    He opened the door of the grand temple that he had just obtained.


    Inside was a piece of divine gold that was transparent like crystal, flawless, containing an exceedingly unique power. It was a god-gold that even he had never seen before.


    The system announced: "Tear of Heaven God Gold, a very unique god-gold, similar to the eyes of heaven, which don''t germinate during the creation of the world but appear only when the world is destroyed. Like tears shed when a person reaches the end of their lifespan. It''s priceless and can be used to refine holy artifacts."


    A type of god-gold that can be used to refine holy artifacts!


    That alone made it extremely precious.


    There are very few holy artifacts in the entire Eternal World. They require not only a highly skilled master but also a precious material that could cause a stir.


    "These are just treasures hurled out by the shockwave. Imagine how many precious materials there would be if someone could enter the central region?"


    Not only did Chu Yuan want to enter the central region, but other factions did as well. Let''s see who can set foot inside first and obtain the maximum benefit before the other factions find a way in.


    After several days of sweeping the surrounding area with his army, Huyan Bo had also obtained plenty of goods.


    "Endless minerals, billions of holy god stones, a million original god stones, even hundreds of thousands of divine drugs that can be refined into Emperor quality. The spoils from this time are enough to level up the Imperial Dynasty."


    Chu Yuan was pleased as he sorted out this round of loot.


    "Your Majesty, Xiao Zihua of the Holy Sky Dynasty requests an audience."


    Someone reported to Chu Yuan.


    Chu Yuan knew very clearly that the struggle over the central region would be more intense and cruel. The Holy Sky Empire needed assistance, and so did he. No single empire could swallow the wealth of the central region.


    "In a world of chaos, during turbulent times, the ancient times ended in desolation once the Five Emperors decided to leave. In this era, the world has produced a potent ruler like you, and the Five Emperors would return, and the power of the dynasty would also experience ebb and flow."


    Xiao Zihua quietly added, "My visit today is also to remind you that someone is plotting against Dawu. Dongchu Forbidden Land is just one of them, and they''ve even involved the Qiling Forbidden Land. You must be prepared as many forbidden lands that were sealed have now appeared."


    "Qiling Forbidden Land." Chu Yuan echoed.


    "Qiling Forbidden Land is more ancient than our Holy Sky. It flourished in ancient times. At that time, the five empires established by the Five Emperors were too strong. To avoid conflicts, Qiling Forbidden Land voluntarily surrendered its power, sealed itself and became a forbidden place."


    Xiao Zihua said, "Now their old monsters are gradually awakening."


    Indeed, the appearance of God Mountain brought not only wealth but also slaughter.


    The major forbidden lands appeared one after another. The Holy Sky Empire was also under great pressure.


    "In the face of an enemy attack, I''d fight back instead of backing down. There is no way back."


    Chu Yuan remained calm, "If others want to plot against me, I will not let them go either. In turbulent times, one can rise to prominence. In peaceful and prosperous times, opportunities are scarce."


    "Majesty has spoken like a true hero!" Xiao Zihua exclaimed his approval, "Heroes are born of chaos. This is the trend of the times. Whoever controls the trend, controls the destiny of the Eternal World. Majesty, there is one more thing I''d like to remind you of."


    "Go ahead." Chu Yuan responded.


    "I led my troops here, primarily to safeguard you from some opposing forces. The Dongchu Forbidden Land is not the most troublesome. The true troublemaker is Shadow Valley. I''ve heard that their Third Elder has appeared within the core of the source land."


    Xiao Zihua stated.


    The people from Shadow Valley were audacious, relying on the fact that no one could find their nest. Even the powerful beings from the empire dared to assassinate.


    The appearance of the Third Elder hinted at his purpose, which was very likely to assassinate the Emperor.


    The act of assassinating an emperor was not new to Shadow Valley.


    There was once a Divine Emperor whose empire collapsed because the emperor himself was assassinated in public in front of countless citizens during a national tour.


    "If Shadow Valley does not seek me out, then I will go find them."


    Chu Yuan remained indifferent.


    Others might not find the nest of Shadow Valley, but he could.


    Moreover, if the Third Elder dared to use assassination tactics, Chu Yuan still had an ace up his sleeve that could make him regret it for the rest of his life.
