My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

In the Immortal Realm's Ninth Heaven, Chengtian World, two flags fluttered high under the golden sunlight. One flag bore the character 'Mu,' while the other displayed the character 'Gu.' These were the flags of the two largest armies of Jing Nation, the 'Mu' flag and the 'Gu' flag.

Beneath these flags lay countless angelic bodies clad in battle armor, drenched in blood and fire. The Bright Clan had been defeated. Most of the Bright Clan members had escaped from Chengtian World under the cover of the angel army, while the emotionless angels had all perished atop Bright Clan's Sacred Mountain, before the very temple they had sworn to protect.

Mu Yuyan stood armored before the Bright Clan temple. Beside her were Liu Yexi, Lin Lu, Lin Tan'er, Su Hua, Zhang Qingwei, Wei Zhi, and others—all similarly clad in armor. They represented Jing Nation and Lanyan Royal School and were among the first forces to breach the Bright Temple.

As for the Nine Heavens Alliance, Yin God Palace, and the armies from the realms of gods and demons, they were engaged in battles across other areas of Chengtian World. Some had even chosen to pursue the fleeing Bright Clan members.

"Yexi, General Lin, I leave the situation here in your capable hands," Mu Yuyan said, confirming that the battle within Bright Clan's Sacred Mountain was settled. She handed two command tokens to Liu Yexi and Lin Lu, which allowed them to temporarily assume command of the Jing Nation army.

Liu Yexi held the tokens, his expression wavering between words unspoken. "Yexi, I know what you want to say; you don't need to persuade me," Mu Yuyan continued. "In my heart, the people of Jing Nation are important, the beings of Six Realms are important, but my husband is equally important to me!"

"In the past, it was my husband who stood before me and bore everything for me!"

"Now, I too want to protect him, even if I can't hold the line, I will fight side by side with my husband!"

Before Liu Yexi could respond, Mu Yuyan lightly stepped, summoning the Ice Phoenix. A resounding phoenix cry echoed through the heavens, tearing through the space.

"Mom, wait for me!"

"Mumu wants to help Daddy too!"

In the distance, Gu Simu heard the cry of the Ice Phoenix and quickly climbed onto the golden Suan Ni, preparing to follow. However, just as she made her move, Gu Xiaoqi ignited with phoenix flames, conjuring a phoenix flame spear in her hands, blocking Gu Simu's path.

"Gu Xiaoqi!"

"Do you dare stop me?"

Furious at Gu Xiaoqi's obstruction, Gu Simu's eyes turned red as she glared at her, dragon and phoenix shadows flickering around her. In an instant, her aura was comparable to Gu Xiaoqi, who had awakened the entirety of the ancient Shenfeng heritage.

"Under orders from my lord, I must keep watch over the young lord! That is my duty!"

Gu Xiaoqi remained firm, expressionless, staring at Gu Simu. The two stood at an impasse, neither willing to yield. Once inseparable companions, they now faced off against each other, a scene none had ever anticipated.

In the shadows, Zhe Liang observed everything, silently sighing. At this moment, he too wished to rush into Chengtian World and aid his lord in battle, but he understood his strength was insufficient and that he would only become a burden.

After a brief standoff, the rift in the sky gradually ceased its turbulence. Seeing this, tears welled in Gu Simu's red eyes; she bit her lip, trying not to cry in front of Gu Xiaoqi. But ultimately, she couldn't hold back, and burst into loud sobs.

"Alas!"

Seeing her cry, Gu Xiaoqi sighed. The phoenix flames on her body gradually dimmed, and the phoenix flame spear vanished.

"Mumu, don't cry. My lord will surely be fine," she said, stepping forward with open arms to comfort Gu Simu.

Such an act would have been unimaginable for her in the past. Yet in front of Gu Simu, being the elder sister who comforts her younger sister seemed acceptable.

However, Gu Xiaoqi did not expect that just as she was about to embrace Gu Simu, a surge of sealing power abruptly surrounded her, with intricate formations appearing all over her body.

"You!"

Gu Xiaoqi attempted to summon the phoenix flames, only to find she couldn't muster her energy. She glared at Gu Simu in anger, not realizing that Gu Simu's comprehension of formations had reached such a level that she could easily seal her cultivation.

"Hahaha!"

"Xiaoqi, you fell for it!"

"Now you can't stop me, can you?"

Although tears still glimmered in Gu Simu's eyes, she wore a triumphant smile, completely devoid of sadness. Her performance was nothing short of masterful!

In the shadows, Zhe Liang instantly understood the deeper meaning behind his lord asking him to watch over the young lord.

"Goodbye, Sister Xiaoqi!"

"Don't worry about me; I'm strong enough now to help Mommy and Daddy!"

Gu Simu patted the Fierce Beast Suan Ni and soared into the air, pulling out a spatial artifact, preparing to teleport to Chengtian World.

However, just as she retrieved the artifact, a ripple emerged from the shadows. Before Gu Simu could react, the spatial artifact vanished from her hands.

"It's Uncle Zhe Liang!"

Gu Simu instantly realized who had acted, revealing an expression of helplessness. With her current strength, she had to sneak attack to deal with Gu Xiaoqi, so confronting Zhe Liang, who wielded the power of three thousand worlds, was naturally a tall order.

"Daddy, you big bad guy!"

Gu Simu scolded fiercely. She knew Zhe Liang was acting on orders.

"If I had known you wouldn't let me help, I wouldn't have gone to find Aunt Shangguan for you!"

"Hmph! You big bad daddy!"

This time, tears finally fell from Gu Simu's eyes. She had always been exceptionally intelligent, wandering the Underworld and Demon Realm at a young age, and experiencing countless battles in the Immortal Realm.

Despite her unwavering faith in Gu Lan, believing her daddy to be the most powerful, the Bright Clan Divine Son was formidable too!

"Even Mommy is going to help Daddy, Mumu is really worried!"

Tears streaming down her face, Gu Simu gazed silently at the vast sky.

...

In Chengtian World, the great dao manifestations continued to unfold in the sky. The power stored in Arthur's battle sword had reached its peak, and the strength contained within was terrifying beyond measure. This was something he had never anticipated.

To break through to God Realm, one needed not face a heavenly tribulation but merely to evolve the great dao manifestations, and the process was generally quite swift. However, to evolve more than half of the three thousand great daos like Gu Lan had done was truly unheard of.

"This guy can no longer be described merely as a prodigy!"

"Could it be that he is the incarnation of the heavenly dao, aiming to evolve all three thousand great daos?"

Arthur stared at the battle sword in his hand, beginning to doubt whether he could truly destroy his opponent with this strike. The fusion of light and darkness into annihilating power was indeed strong, but it was tailored for an ordinary God Realm.

The one before him, continuously evolving the great dao manifestations, clearly did not belong to that normal category.
