Evan Chu had thought that with Elder Warren Wu stepping in, things would be a done deal—never imagining that Night Wuming would submit so completely. When he reappeared, he was already working together with Warren Wu to bring the Star-Seal Throne.
The main hall had been cleared of everyone else; now only Evan Chu, Warren Wu, Night Wuming, and Elder Warren Wu remained. At the center, a palm-sized, four-sided seat radiated a dim, ghostly blue glow—the Star-Seal Throne.
“So this is the Star-Seal Throne? Looks pretty ordinary to me.”
Warren Wu shook his head when he saw the seat appear and spoke up.
Elder Warren Wu gave a bitter smile as well. “It really isn’t anything special—the Stellar Power is extremely limited, not strong at all. But if you combine it with the Starry Void Sigil, it’ll unleash terrifying power.”
Back when Elder Warren Wu first obtained this treasure, he’d been ecstatic, but after studying it for ages, he realized it was just a chicken-rib—precious but useless to him.
Elder Warren Wu glanced at Night Wuming. “Right. What happened today is going to spread fast across all the dynastic powers—especially to the Frostbane Dynasty. They’re very likely to take action, so we can’t let our guard down.”
Of course, that was also closely tied to his own cultivation realm—he simply wasn’t qualified to comprehend this heaven-defying treasure. But for one person, it’s a different story.
His talent, potential, luck, and insight are all monstrous. That person is Evan Chu!
At the moment Evan Chu saw the Star-Seal Throne appear, he was stunned—even before he connected it with his Stellar Power and divine sense, he already felt a powerful longing for it. Inside the Chaos Trial World, Chu Lintian could barely hold himself back; if Evan hadn't suppressed him, he would've burst out and snatched the Star-Seal Throne away.
There was no doubt—this was the real Star-Seal Throne. Night Wuming hadn’t tricked him.
“Not bad. Really not bad.”
Evan Chu waved his hand, and the Star-Seal Throne vanished from sight—reappearing the next instant inside the Chaos Trial World, where it immediately triggered a tidal upheaval.
The moment the Star-Seal Throne entered, the Starry Void Sigil lunged at it like a wife reunited after years apart, and Chu Lintian appeared, charging in as well.
Outside, the generals saw the Star-Seal Throne disappear. They shot Evan Chu a deep look, then finally let out a sigh of relief.
“I think it’s time we talk about what comes next.”
Elder Warren Wu glanced at Elder Warren Wu. "Right. What happened today is going to spread fast across all the dynastic powers—especially to the Frostbane Dynasty. They're very likely to take action, so we can't let our guard down."
“Honestly, it’s not that big a deal. Since we’ve chosen this path, some things were always going to need planning—whether it happens now or later.”
Night Wuming was surprisingly calm about it—his mindset here was actually pretty solid.
"Now that we've officially joined forces with the Dragon-Chen Legion, a lot of people aren't going to like it. We should plan how to fully prepare before real trouble hits." Elder Warren Wu's concern was valid, but Evan Chu had already thought it through.
Don't worry—even if trouble comes, it'll hit our Dragon-Chen Legion first. The Flowing-Light Dynasty won't be the main target unless the Dragon-Chen Legion is wiped out. And that's absolutely impossible.
You all know how strong we are, and our combat power will only keep growing. The Mansfield Family is fully behind us, ready to help if needed. And don’t forget—we’ll soon be integrating the Savage Brotherhood. Once that’s done, our strength won’t lose to any dynasty!
Elder Warren Wu meant to boost everyone's confidence, but Night Wuming added, "Of course we know you're strong. But what about the future... if the whole world turns against us? Dynasties might let one camp rise, but they'll never allow a single faction to dominate."
If that happens, it means a true hegemon has emerged—and everyone else will push back, each in their own way.
Elder Warren Wu raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that all, Holy Emperor? Or do you have some advice?"
“Advice might be too strong a word. I just think that before the final moment comes, we should make as many allies as possible—bring more people to our side. That’ll raise our chances a lot.”
Elder Warren Wu chuckled. "Don't worry, I've already thought of that. No need for the Holy Emperor to fret."
Elder Warren Wu smiled inwardly—Evan Chu had considered all this long ago. Did anyone really think Nathan Yates’s grand wedding was just a simple affair?
Don't forget—Elder Warren Wu had already calculated exactly who would be friend, who would be foe, and what methods to use for each.
While the three discussed all this, Evan Chu himself stayed silent—not because he didn’t want to speak, but because he couldn’t. His physical body was outside, but his divine sense had already returned to the Chaos Trial World.
"Hey! Chu Lintian, slow down! I just finished nurturing those little lives—if you wreck them all, you’re dead meat!"
"Hahaha! Big brother, my power’s way too strong now—I can’t stop! I want to fight! Holy Emperor Realm experts—I could take on ten at once!"
"You’re nuts!"
Evan Chu couldn’t help getting annoyed—Chu Lintian's confidence was through the roof.
Sure, merging the Star-Seal Throne’s origin in the Chaos Trial World had boosted his power, but beating ten Holy Emperor Realm experts? That was pure fantasy.
Now, with the Star-Seal Throne and Starry Void Sigil fully fused into one, the flames blazing across its surface—even its face—were dazzling and strange. But the power it radiated was all too real.
Chu Lintian reaped huge benefits—his cultivation now stood at late Saint Venerable peak, just half a step from the Holy Emperor Realm.
As the Chaos Trial World’s spirit, Chu Lintian now fused with the complete Starry Void Sigil, and seemed to have become the artifact spirit of this supreme treasure.
The fusion of the Starry Void Sigil and Star-Seal Throne continued, and with every passing moment, Evan Chu’s physical body was bathed in pure stellar power.
The power was terrifying—if unleashed all at once, it could instantly wipe out thousands of Holy Emperor Realm experts!
But this overwhelming power crashed over Evan Chu like a tidal wave, bringing real pain—but the gains were just as visible. In just a few hours, his cultivation had already soared to the peak, with signs of breaking through to mid Saint Venerable.
Meanwhile, the fused Starry Void Sigil and Star-Seal Throne began to evolve into a new form…
