Perfect: Become Shi Yi's younger brother at the beginning

Chapter 127 The Conferment of the Human Emperor
As soon as Shi Chen and his companion stepped into the palace, the entire avenue erupted in excitement.

"Shi Yi, who has double pupils, has challenged Shi Hao to another duel, intending to fight in formation!"

"Who do you think will win this battle?"

"This is going to be a good show. This battle will surely attract worldwide attention and draw the attention of all major powers."

All living beings were discussing this matter, and for a time, the duel between the two stones became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Shi Chen and his companion continued their journey deeper into the palace.

"Brother, that aura from before shouldn't have been from our senior, right?" Shi Yi asked, voicing his doubts.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting Shi Yi to ask such a question.

He simply smiled faintly and offered no explanation.

However, in Shi Yi's view, his behavior was tantamount to admitting it.

Shi Yi remained calm, but was deeply shocked. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the road to suppressing his younger brother was long and arduous.

Passing through the enormous archway, the two arrived at the central celestial palace. There, a layer of white clouds swirled on the ground, but only reached their knees.

This is the final location, where the Emperor's birthday celebration will be held.

In the central celestial palace, various creatures of different shapes and sizes reside, exuding an astonishing aura that chills the heart. There are colorful birds several meters long, giants tens of meters tall, and so on, all of whom are powerful and respected beings who command respect in their respective regions.

The others could only sit in the plaza outside, where jade tables and chairs had already been set up, and the swirling white mist made the place look like a celestial realm.

The moment the two stepped into this place, they attracted the attention of all living beings.

"They have double pupils!"

"Such a powerful aura, just standing there exudes endless majesty."

"The name of the double-pupiled person is indeed extraordinary."

Faced with the astonishment of all living beings, the two remained calm and ignored it.

Many people came, including leaders of sects, kings and nobles, powerful rogue cultivators, and pure-blooded beings from the ancient divine mountain—all of them were people of great importance.

"Shi Chen, the one with double pupils, come up for a chat." A majestic voice echoed from the Central Heavenly Palace.

"Hiss! The Human Emperor actually invited Shi Chen, who has double pupils, to the Central Heavenly Palace!"

“That is a realm that only Venerable Great Powers can enter.”

"Could it be... that in the eyes of the Human Emperor, Shi Chen, with his double pupils, is already comparable to a Venerable?"

In the plaza, all living beings were startled, their gazes toward Shi Chen filled with shock.

The Central Heavenly Palace is a realm that only Venerable Great Powers can enter. Those who sit there are all Venerable Powers who are renowned throughout the land.

Now, a fifteen-year-old boy has been invited by the Emperor and has been granted the right to enter.

No one thought that Shi Chen had already stepped into the Venerable Realm. Such a thing was too amazing, unprecedented in history, and even more unbelievable than a twelve-year-old Array King.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chen nodded to Shi Yi, took a step forward, and leaped into that celestial palace.

This place is like a fairyland, vast and boundless. What surrounds you is not clouds and mist, but the essence of heaven and earth is so rich that it condenses into water mist.

There were clearly not many beings who could enter this place. He glanced at them and saw only a few dozen, including the Golden-Winged Roc from before.

Upon seeing Shi Chen, it gazed into the distance, not daring to meet his eyes.

There was also a golden spider, which cast a kind glance at him when he looked over.

He knew that the golden spider came from Demon Spirit Lake and was Shi Ziteng's master.

When he was young, this golden spider went to the Martial King's Mansion and asked him to become a disciple of the Demon Spirit Lake.

Now, many years later, it has grown and entered the ranks of the Venerables.

In the very center sat a middle-aged man dressed in imperial robes, with a dignified expression.

"Please take a seat." The Emperor smiled faintly at him and pointed to the empty seat to his right.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Chen bowed in thanks and calmly took his seat.

Upon seeing this scene, all the creatures present, except for the golden-winged roc and the golden spider, turned cold.

Clearly, the seating arrangement here was carefully chosen; the closer one was to the Emperor, the more important he was to them. But no one dared to speak out. As powerful beings, they were naturally aware of what was happening at the palace gates.

Given the precedent of the Golden-Winged Roc, although they were dissatisfied, none of them dared to step forward.

Shi Chen naturally noticed the expressions on the faces of the living beings, but seeing that they did not speak, he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Once all living beings had entered, the Emperor's birthday celebration began. In the square, everyone took their seats, drinking and chatting, creating a lively scene.

Even the venerable beings and great powers of the Central Heavenly Palace were conversing with each other.

"I heard that Shi Yi, the one with double pupils, has challenged Shi Hao to a duel." At this moment, the Human Emperor spoke, looking at Shi Chen.

Upon hearing this, even the assembled Venerables ceased their conversation and awaited Shi Chen's reply.

The fact that two powerful prodigies, both from the Martial King's Mansion, challenged each other to a duel piqued their interest.

“Brother and Brother Hao do indeed intend to engage in a battle in formation,” Shi Chen nodded in response.

He was not surprised that the Stone Emperor knew about the duel between the two. As the emperor of the Stone Kingdom, he naturally could not hide what happened at the palace gates.

"Who do you think is better between the two of them?" Stone Emperor asked, looking at the assembled Venerables.

Faced with the Stone Emperor's question, all the Venerable Ones and Great Powers present fell into deep thought.

"Naturally it's Yi'er. Yi'er has already entered the ranks of the elite, and he also possesses double pupils. In a battle against someone of the same realm, I'm afraid no one except this double-pupiled Shi Chen can stand against him." The golden spider spoke, full of confidence in Shi Yi.

“That’s not necessarily true. Rumor has it that in their previous battle, Shi Hao was able to injure Shi Yi, who had double pupils, just by relying on his inscription realm. His strength should not be underestimated. Once he steps into the formation, even Shi Yi probably wouldn’t dare to say he’s guaranteed to win.” Another Venerable spoke up, offering a different opinion.

This is a powerful figure from Tian Shen Mountain who has some dealings with Shi Hao.

"What do you think?" Shi Huang looked at Shi Chen and asked for his opinion.

“Of course it’s my older brother,” Shi Chen replied. Of course, he couldn’t say it was Shi Hao.

"In that case, I will add fuel to the fire of this battle." The Stone Emperor pondered for a moment before speaking again.

Upon hearing this, all the Venerables present were slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled by what the Stone Emperor had said.

Shi Chen's gaze narrowed slightly, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning behind the Emperor's words. Clearly, he wanted to bestow the title of King.

Shi Chen was not surprised by this, as Shi Hao was conferred a marquisate at the Emperor's birthday banquet in the original novel.

This time, Shi Hao's strength is even greater than in the original story. He has already entered the Inscription Realm. Perhaps, just like in the original story, the Human Emperor will transcend realms and directly be crowned a king.

"Shi Hao, receive the title!" The Stone Emperor stood up, looked down, and spoke slowly, his voice like thunder.

In the square, all living beings were startled by the voice and looked toward the central heavenly palace.

"Shi Hao is hereby appointed as the Desolate Heavenly King!"

With just a few words, the heavens and earth trembled, the entire square shook, and the clouds in the sky were scattered by the sound, creating an extraordinary scene.

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled, all doubting that they had misheard.

Before even stepping into the ranks, he was already crowned a king, not only the most honorable Heavenly King, but also named after the Wilderness. Is he meant to represent the entire Wilderness Domain?

The Emperor's investiture was a golden decree that could not be changed, naturally causing a great commotion. Many beings cast strange glances at Shi Hao.

"Shi Yi, receive your appointment!"

Before anyone could react, another majestic voice came from the Central Heavenly Palace.

"Feng Shiyi as the Peerless King!"

The entire plaza trembled once more, finally unable to remain calm. Even the powerful beings of the Central Heavenly Palace were shocked by the Stone Emperor's actions.

"Feng Shihao was made Heavenly King, and the word 'Wilderness' was added before it. With the title 'Wilderness Heavenly King,' what can compare to him? Only the word 'Peerless' can describe him."

"That's right, the Stone Emperor is trying to maintain balance and doesn't want to favor one over the other, so he bestowed the title of Peerless King."

"It seems that the Stone Emperor is also aware of the duel between the two, and his bestowal of the title of King here makes this battle even more noteworthy."

The entire square was abuzz with discussion, everyone shocked by the Stone Emperor's actions.

For the next period of time, all forces will focus on the two prodigies, and the battle between the two kings will be a rare spectacle.

　Speaking of which, should we give the main character a title or something? I've thought about it for ages but can't come up with anything suitable.
