The Legend of Li Yuan
The Appointment of the Celestial Emperor

After hearing the explanation from his teacher, now Li Yuan's understanding of the Hall of Souls became even wider. He did not think that the Hall of Souls was related to the Dark God whom he had not known about his existence.

"I'll say goodbye now, you be careful. This is a book left behind by the ruler of the Sky Realm several thousand years ago" Yuan Zang said as he pulled out an ancient-looking book from his storage ring.

After receiving the gift book from his teacher, Li Yuan said.

"Thank you for all the explanations from the teacher" Li Yuan said as he bowed.

Before Li Yuan lifted his body back up, Yuan Zang's figure had already disappeared from his sight. Only a thin Qi remained after his teacher. Once Li Yuan was at the level of a God Emperor he could sense his teacher's Qi, in contrast to before where he could not at all sense his teacher's Qi fluctuations.

Li Yuan immediately put the book he had just received into his spatial ring. Once in Nanguan City, he would read it seriously.

Li Yuan immediately returned to the Sky Palace, the mess he had just done needed to be resolved quickly. After hearing the awakening of the Hall of Souls he felt even more worried about Fang Yin and the Yue Hao Clan who were in Nanguan City.

While Qinghai City was now under the tutelage of his teacher, so he was not too worried. But his duty in exterminating the Night Ruler Goddess was still not understood. He had never heard any hint before about the person his teacher was referring to.

In an instant Li Yuan was already in front of the Sky Palace back. The thousands of troops still standing guard appeared to be lined up neatly in front of a Man who was slightly similar to Ying Cushan.

"Greetings Lord" the General greeted him with respect.

Li Yuan furrowed his brows looking towards the General of the troops who had just greeted him.

"Master, I am Ying Kai. I am the General who holds power over Jincheng City as well as the Golden Phoenix Province. I am also from Ying Cushan" said Ying Kai introducing himself.

"Are you from the Eternal Flame Sect as well?" li Yuan asked seriously.

"Master. We should just chat inside the Palace to make it clearer" said Ying Kai.

"Alright, but I don't have much time to talk" Li Yuan said bluntly.

"Okay sir, I understand" Ying Kai replied respectfully.

After saying so Ying Kai immediately led the way towards within the Sky Palace. The ministers and other Sky Palace officials obediently followed behind Li Yuan.

"Please sit down Sir" said General Ying Kai politely.

Li Yuan was speechless, he saw an extremely luxurious throne that Ying Kai had just appointed. The throne that had been occupied only by the Celestial Emperor.

Li Yuan's actions clearly shocked the people, they did not understand why the figure of the young man who had just conquered Emperor Tang Shiji had blatantly refused to occupy his position.

"I won't be long, there are some things I want to tell you all" Li Yuan said.

Earlier through telepathy, Li Yuan inquired about the officials as well as a few others through Ying Cushan. After getting an explanation from Ying Cushan, Li Yuan found out who were the people loyal to Tang Shiji and who were the officials who committed the crime.

On that occasion Li Yuan separated the people in front of him into two halves. All the loyal followers of Tang Shiji as well as the corrupt officials were on his left, while the clean and neutral officials were on Li Yuan's right.

Those in their respective ranks were astonished and looked at each other. They also did not expect that a young man who had just entered the Sky Palace could eloquently name them as well as their respective positions.

But Ying Kai who noticed the formation of these two camps only understood the reason. There was tremendous admiration in his heart towards the young man who became Master to his brother.

"I deliberately divided you into two parts, surely you already know it without me having to explain why. You who are on my left from now on you are no longer in charge of the position you have been holding" Li Yuan said calmly.

The room became silent!

Those who had just gotten such a notification instantly suffocated helplessly. They wanted to protest but did not dare, after seeing the strength of the young man could not be offended then only death if they opposed it.

After a moment of silence, Li Yuan continued his words.

"You who have harmed the people by making rules that only benefit you personally and have suppressed the people by scaring them then all of you must return all your resources to the Sky Palace. I still forgive your lives this time, but after today I will act decisively to all of you if I still do not repent. Now you can already leave this place." Li Yuan said firmly.

Hearing the words from Li Yuan they all became creeped out in fear, not only the posts that had been released but the treasures they had accumulated would also be confiscated by the new Sky Palace.

"Thank you for your kindness for forgiving our lives" the corrupt officials said resignedly.

Of the roughly fifties, now only about ten people remained including General Ying Kai. They were people who were neutral and did not harm the people too much from the policies issued by the Tang Emperor Shiji.

"Next you guys, I don't need to talk much. You continue to work with heart and good behavior, through you the welfare and justice of the population will be guaranteed. Through you also the development of the Sky Realm will take place well. Therefore, I will appoint General Ying Kai as Tang Shiji's replacement" Li Yuan said with a stern look.

Li Yuan's words instantly made Ying Kai's face pale, he didn't expect that he would be appointed as Tang Shiji's successor Celestial Emperor. In the next instant, he remembered the words of his older brother, Ying Cushan. The Master he followed was indeed not pursuing power.

This incident also made Ying Cushan flinch, nor did he expect at all if his sister would be placed at the highest position in the Sky Realm. Though he had only known Ying Kai some time ago, it was a big decision that was difficult to understand.
