I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 302 - 155: Union with Heaven and Earth (Seeking Subscriptions)

Sometimes, when you’re drunk, you’re just drunk.

Drunk in a haze, one revels in the drunken stupor, unwilling to sober up.

In the eyes of Chen Yi and his companions, this was the state that Chen Yuan was in at the moment.

Even after being fed the sobering soup, Chen Yuan, dressed in a red long robe, continued to lie down in a drunken sleep.

His face was hidden by his silver-white long hair, but his angular face would always reveal a hint of sorrow.

Though occasionally, he would laugh heartily as if he saw what he longed for in his dreams.

"So it’s true, it was Senior Sister Ling Yinrong’s own choice to save his life..."

With the truth confirmed, Xiao Xuanzhen felt a sense of relief.

However, a sense of sorrow inexplicably arose in her heart—for both Senior Sister Ling and Chen Yuan.

The living seem alive, yet they wish they could die.

The dead get their wish fulfilled but leave behind too many regrets, inevitably stirring feelings of pity.

"Senior Sister Ling...is truly kind."

Hua Xianzi couldn’t think of words more fitting; a simple "kind" embodied her sincerest thoughts.

Rarely do people face life and death calmly, let alone sacrifice themselves to save others.

Hua Xianzi silently watched Chen Yi, as always, her gaze fixed on his profile or his silhouette.

Wei Jinyu observed all this, her gaze periodically shifting between the Chen brothers, her thoughts inscrutable.

Her decision to stay was for a variety of reasons, "curiosity" being one of the main ones.

One, she was curious about Chen Yuan’s transformation from the nobility’s offspring to the Absolute Blade Inheritor.

Two, she wondered whether he would continue to degrade and become a feared figure in the path of evil.

There were other considerations, such as the future succession of titles within the Duke Wuan’s Chen Family.

It was all driven by the argument she had with Xie Dongan that day.

Wei Jinyu always believed that there was something fishy about the Chen brothers’ ritual of grasping week.

In Kyoto Prefecture, where nobles abound, it’s not uncommon for marquises and civil servant families to produce outstanding offspring every few or a dozen years.

However, it was rare, as with Duke Wuan’s generation, for two people—Chen Yuan and Chen Yi—to be so notable.

Moreover, Chen Yi received the divine protection of Duke Wuan’s ancestral spirits, while Chen Yuan got the inheritance from the Duke Jingye lineage during the ritual.

This was unprecedented since the founding of the Wei Dynasty!

Instinct told her that there must be some secrets involved.

While thinking, Wei Jinyu smiled and said, "With the misunderstanding cleared up, Brother Yi should now be able to explain things to Sword Edge Mountain, right?"

Chen Yi’s eyes displayed a hint of strangeness; the Fourteenth Princess seemed overly enthusiastic.

He remembered that when they first met outside South-Garrison Pass, Wei Jinyu did not pay much attention to him, even less so than Jiang Ye. freeweɓnovel.cøm

But he had to admit, it was indeed a relief that Chen Yuan had not killed Senior Sister Ling.

With this thought, Chen Yi nodded and instructed Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi to get ready to head towards Dragon Transformation Pond.

The two ladies naturally agreed.

Seeing his indifference, Wei Jinyu did not press further and kept to herself, occasionally checking on Chen Yuan’s condition.

Xie Dongan and Gongye Shou exchanged glances before approaching Chen Yi.

"Brother Yi, now that the danger within the secret realm is resolved, what troubles me is the unpredictable events outside."

Gongye Shou conveyed through Sound Transmission, "It’s a pity we can’t contact the outside world and may struggle to respond when the time comes."

Chen Yi contemplated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What’s to come, will come."

"Regardless of the demons’ schemes or the barbarians’ strategies, right now, our priority should be the secret realm."

With the strength of the many Heavenly Prides in the secret realm, handling a few Shamans might be feasible, but facing a barbarian army would still leave us at a disadvantage.

Chen Yi knew this all too well.

Those years of battling against the demon hordes had given him a profound understanding of the difference between military formations and solitary fighters of the Martial World.

Without overwhelming strength, few could emerge alive from the barbarians’ Surrounding Kill.

After all, "human strength has its limits," and even Chen Yi would exhaust his strength facing an endless stream of enemies, let alone the other Heavenly Prides.

"Once the secret realm reopens, I will go out first to assess the situation, with Brother Dong An and the Fifteenth Prince to follow."

At these words, Xie Dongan nodded, smiling, "This minimizes the risk."

However, all three hoped they wouldn’t face an immediate attack from the Southern Barbarian Sect or demons upon leaving the secret realm.

If that were to happen, it would imply that Gu Tiangang and the others had already left Dragon Heart Lake, the secret realm’s location.

Either they had been killed or they were being pursued.

Either scenario would be the worst-case situation!

Soon after, when Chen Yuan awoke, the five exchanged pleasantries and set off into the Dragon Transformation Pond.

"I wonder how powerful the original master of the Eastern Emperor Palace was. Perhaps he stood at the pinnacle even during the dark ages?"

Upon entering and seeing the scene inside, Chen Yi was also taken aback.

He saw inside the vast palace, standing in the four directions, four golden columns each a hundred zhang tall.

The golden columns were adorned with engravings of the Four Directions Divine Beasts, each lifelike, gazing toward a pond in the center.

That pond was vast, measuring ten zhang in length and width, with emerald-green water shrouded in mist.

Above the water, there were lily-pad-like platforms undulating in height, extending all the way to a pavilion inside.

Wei Nantian and the others who entered earlier were all sitting cross-legged on those lily pads, meditating.

For some reason, they did not choose to enter the pavilion; most stayed on the lily pads on the outer edge.

Only a few powerful Heavenly Prides like Wei Nantian were seated closer to the pavilion.

It was only when Chen Yi approached that he began to understand the profoundness of it all.
