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

Chapter 145 Convergence
Before the Central Heavenly Palace, Shi Chen pondered. If he wanted to, he could sit firmly on the throne of the Stone Emperor right now.

Even Shi Chong, the King of War, and others couldn't do anything about it.

But he had no such idea; his ambition lay elsewhere. From the moment he came into this world, his goal was to ascend to the highest realm of Tao.

Although he didn't care about the throne, he couldn't easily pass it on to someone else. After all, it was the foundation of the Shi Kingdom, so naturally, someone worthy of the position should sit on it.

In the original story, this position was inherited by Shi Hao, but this time, he did not appear, and the reason is unknown.

“If you want to sit in this position, I have no objection.” Seeing that Shi Chen remained silent, Shi Chong spoke up.

Although he also wanted to compete for the position, he knew he had no chance of winning against Shi Chen.

He had no opinion about Shi Chen sitting in this position; if it weren't for Shi Chen, it would be uncertain whether the Shi Kingdom could have survived.

Even with the backup plan left by the Stone Emperor, it would be difficult for him to survive under the pressure of various forces.

The best outcome would be if the foundation of the Shi Kingdom did not fall into the hands of outsiders.

"I have no interest in the throne." Shi Chen shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chong was surprised, but after a little thought, he understood.

With Shi Chen's talent, how could he possibly be content to live in a small country like Shi? Even the entire Eight Domains are nothing more than a passing visitor to him.

He had a much wider world to explore, a height that Shi Chong could never reach.

After a moment of contemplation, Shi Chen used his finger as a pen and his divine power to create ink, writing a line of large characters on the blank decree.

Then, he turned around, looked at Shi Chong and the others, and said, "The throne will be passed to the nineteenth prince, Shi Chong."

He still passed the throne to Shi Chong.

Shi Chong was the only one among all the princes and princesses who did not collude with outsiders, which is enough to prove his character. Moreover, he was also exceptionally talented enough to assume the throne.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chong was stunned, not expecting this outcome. He had thought that Shi Chen would let someone from the Martial King's Mansion take over the throne of Emperor Shi.

"Shi Chong, receive the decree." Fortunately, he quickly realized what was happening and knelt down to accept the decree.

Below, the princes and princesses, seeing this, were filled with regret. If only they had known this would happen, they would not have done it in the first place.

"If you're in a position of power, you have to take responsibility. If I find out you have other ideas, don't blame me for being ruthless," Shi Chen warned him.

"Shi Chong will remember this." Shi Chong quickly replied, having witnessed Shi Chen's methods firsthand.

Shi Chen nodded and spread the contents of the imperial edict throughout the entire capital, ensuring that everyone could hear it.

"It's Shi Chen, the one with double pupils! He's back!"

"The new emperor has ascended the throne; he is the nineteenth prince."

"It seems that Shi Chen, who has double pupils, has no interest in the throne of the Human Emperor."

"The nineteenth prince is also a prodigy. He was able to be personally appointed as the Human Emperor by Shi Chen, who has double pupils. He must be capable of shouldering this important responsibility."

In the capital, all living beings heard this voice and immediately cheered.

They knew that Shi Chen, the man with double pupils, had returned, suppressed all the extraterrestrial forces, and preserved the Shi Kingdom.

When Shi Chong ascended to the throne, the people of Shi Kingdom did not object, which clearly shows that Shi Chong still held a certain prestige in their hearts.

Shi Chen also did not spare those princes and princesses who colluded with foreign factions; they all had their cultivation abolished and were exiled to the frontier.

After doing all this, Shi Chen left the palace; he no longer needed to worry about what happened next.

Thus, the great calamity of the Stone Kingdom finally came to an end.

Shi Chen returned to the Wu King's Mansion and informed the clan's high-ranking members of the story of what had happened in the Shi Kingdom.

As for the Martial King's Mansion, it cannot be revealed to the world yet, as the great calamity is not over. Later, he learned from Shi Ziteng that Shi Yi had left the Martial King's Mansion before the calamity and his whereabouts were unknown.

Shi Chen was not surprised by this. He believed that Shi Yi had his own opportunities and he would not interfere.

As for whether Shi Yi would perish in this great calamity, he was not without worry, but considering that Shi Yi had not yet reached the Venerable level, he should not become the target of this calamity.

This great calamity could not stop him.

Finally, Shi Chen left the Martial King's Mansion again, departed from the Stone Kingdom, and headed towards the Medicine Capital.

Next, powerful figures from the upper realms will enter the fray to vie for the number one spiritual root in the Medicine Capital.

At that time, having the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram intervene can lend a helping hand to the woman with double pupils at a crucial moment.

Since the woman with double pupils had gone to such lengths for him, he naturally couldn't let her fight alone.

Several days later, Shi Chen arrived at the Medicine Capital and stood in front of a low city.

Yaodu is a place of great renown, with a long history dating back to ancient times.

Legend has it that this is the hometown of the God of Medicine, who was born here and eventually perished here. His essence, including the medicinal properties, transformed into spiritual rain, sprinkling down on this land.

Shi Chen did not enter the Medicine Capital. Instead, he activated a mark deep within his eyes and stood in the void, waiting quietly.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in a mysterious valley, a figure in gray sat cross-legged.

As if sensing something, a strange light flashed in her eyes. She stood up, and with a gentle wave of her hand, chaotic energy spread out, opening up a passage for her to step into.

A few breaths later, a black hole opened up in front of Shi Chen, and a gray figure slowly emerged.

"Why are you here?" The woman with double pupils looked at Shi Chen and spoke softly.

“My sister helped me find this opportunity, so naturally I want to do my part as well,” Shi Chen replied.

In the original novel, the woman with double pupils successfully intercepted a Dao flower from a group of powerful figures by using the black paper boat of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and escaped unscathed.

"I appreciate your kindness, but this is no small matter; it's very dangerous. You should leave as soon as possible." Hearing this, the woman with double pupils was somewhat moved and said.

This operation was too dangerous, and she didn't want Shi Chen to get involved.

After all, the people they were going to face this time were no ordinary figures; they were all giants from the upper realm, possessing extraordinary and terrifying strength.

At that time, even she will have to be careful and will have no time to take care of Shi Chen, and will be unable to guarantee his safety.

"Don't worry, sister, I wouldn't joke with my own life. Have you forgotten that I still have a powerful magic artifact?" Shi Chen said with a smile.

In the original work, even the revived Little Tower could fight against the giants of the upper realm, let alone the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, which is even more powerful than Little Tower.

Upon hearing this, the woman with double pupils recalled the chaotic artifact that appeared in the ancient holy academy. The power emanating from that artifact even made her feel terrified.

Even at her peak, she was far inferior to that magical artifact.

With this magical artifact protecting them, even if they are no match for it, they can still protect themselves.

"Very well, just be careful then," the woman with double pupils said, no longer trying to drive him away.

"Thank you for your concern, sister." Shi Chen nodded.

Then, Shi Chen and the woman with double pupils stepped into the passage and disappeared.

In a valley, the two stepped out of the passage and landed on the ground.

"I have prepared a magic array here. Even the giants of the upper realm will have a hard time detecting it. Just wait here for the time being." The woman with double pupils spoke slowly, walked to an open space, and sat down cross-legged.

Shi Chen nodded, sat cross-legged beside her, closed his eyes to cultivate, and awaited the second great tribulation.
