Realizing this, some of the few dozen carriages that were already there began to quietly leave.

This discovery made the faces of the many nobles present even more awkward, but for most of them, the die was cast and they had no choice but to act.

Amidst the trepidation of the many nobles, the palace gates, which had been closed for several months, slowly opened.

Palace guards stepped forward and began to guide the nobles present to the altar.

This has been the custom of every emperor since the fall of the Sun King. Before ascending the throne, every emperor of the Great Yin Empire must ascend the Altar of Heaven and announce his ascension to the throne to the world.

This was already standard procedure, and the nobles present were more or less aware of it, so they remained calm about it.

But as the carriages arrived at the plaza of the main palace, the Platinum Hall, a towering structure never before seen replaced the original altar, occupying most of the plaza within the palace grounds.

This golden-yellow tower, with its spiral staircase extending upwards towards the sky, seems to reach straight to heaven.

Upon closer inspection, numerous mythological epics are inscribed on the outer perimeter of the spiral tower, depicting the heroic deeds of legendary heroes who, despite being mere mortals, challenged the gods.

These lifelike reliefs of heroes support the spiraling images, lifting them up into the heavens.

The dozens of nobles were in an uproar; they never imagined that they would see such a magnificent building after entering the palace.

"Where did the altar for the sacrifice to Heaven go?"

When was this tower built? Why can't we see it from the outside?

"I went into the palace six months ago and confirmed that I had never seen this tower!"

After the initial shock, the nobles all became solemn.

Although they didn't know what Yin Qianyu's purpose was, they could vaguely sense that this matter was anything but simple.

"This tower is made entirely of gold and mithril, and the carved reliefs are at least at the level of a master craftsman."

Such a massive project must require a huge mobilization of manpower. Why hasn't there been such a large-scale mobilization of manpower and resources in recent times?

"Shortly after Her Highness dealt with the palace officials, the palace was sealed off by Her Highness in the name of purging the inner palace."

Even more than a month ago, Her Highness the Princess had not met with any ministers, and all important matters were handled by the former head maid, Lady Shimoya.

Could it be that the eldest princess was already planning this back then?

"What is the purpose of this tall tower?"

......

The nobles' murmurs were filled with undisguised astonishment; the more they discussed it, the more shocked they became by Yin Qianyu's skill.

From the moment she used the pretext of dealing with that court official, Yin Qianyu secretly plotted this matter throughout the entire palace. If they hadn't come here today to participate in the enthronement ceremony, they might not have known about the existence of this tower at all.

Such methods left them feeling both happy and regretful.

They were happy because by getting here, they had already sided with Yin Qianyu, and the more powerful Yin Qianyu's methods were, the better it would be for them.

The regret lies in lamenting Yin Qianyu's fate. If she hadn't directly confronted the Abyss's Daughter, a powerful figure who completely oppressed others with her influence, Yin Qianyu's scheming abilities might have allowed her to put up a fight against the various dukes and marquises.

Just as many nobles were sighing, a cold voice rang out in front of dozens of nobles.

"Please take your seats, esteemed guests, we are about to have a distinguished visitor!"

Dressed in a black and white maid outfit, Frost Night stood above, her hands placed on her lower abdomen, her every movement exuding elegance.

None of the nobles present dared to underestimate this former head maid.

Not only because she took charge of palace affairs during the time Yin Qianyu stayed at home, but more importantly, because she was the regent's personal maid.

We're all nobles, and everyone knows exactly what a personal maid's role is.

A single word from this nominal personal maid might be more effective than all of the dozens of nobles combined.

The nobles were startled and quickly found their seats.

The tower had many seats around it, and the few dozen nobles seated there seemed to make the grand ceremony appear even more shabby.

As soon as the nobles took their seats, the previously clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the sun's brilliance was swallowed up by the gloom in an instant.

The next moment, a huge creature resembling a whale appeared in the sky above the capital.

Its streamlined body was covered with traces of corruption and decadence, and its form was like an island stretching across the sky, dominating everything!

Their gazes fell upon the terrifying behemoth, resembling a giant whale from the deep sea, its decaying and degenerate body shimmering with a dark luster, as if trying to merge into the shadows of this world.

Its terrifying body could change the very fabric of the world with every move, and even the magnificent capital city seemed insignificant in the face of this behemoth.

"Leviathan!"

A gasp of surprise rippled through the ranks of the nobles.

This terrifying behemoth descended upon the Starworld on the eve of the destruction of the Undead City, carrying a Pit Lord into the Starworld.

Its enormous body that roams the realms, and its terrifying power that surpasses that of a demigod, are among the hallmarks of the Abyss.

Before each bloodbath in the abyss, a demon of god-like rank would ride a Leviathan behemoth through the realms.

Many nobles turned pale, but one count, who appeared somewhat composed, said with a grave expression:

"This is not Leviathan. There is only one true Leviathan in all the realms. It is a terrifying behemoth comparable to an extremely evil dragon and ranks at the top of the powerful divine forces in all the realms."

This one should be a Leviathan behemoth, a direct descendant of Leviathan, whose strength is at least comparable to that of a low-level god.

As the count finished speaking, the Leviathan behemoth that had pierced the sky suddenly began to plummet rapidly toward the capital, as if it intended to crush this magnificent city with its body, which was even larger than the capital itself.

In the capital city, countless living beings didn't even have time to react to this terrifying power.

The Imperial Capital's defensive array was activated. The array, powerful enough to whisper the attacks of the seven legions' allied forces for a long time, collided with the massive body of the Leviathan behemoth. Darkness and corruption instantly engulfed the entire Imperial Capital's defensive array.

The entire formation shattered in an instant before it even reached its peak, like a bursting bubble.

That corrupt and depraved body was displayed wantonly before the people of the capital, like an evil deity bringing the end of the world.

In the next moment, hundreds of millions of lives will be destroyed.

"rude!"

A calm voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

In an instant, a tremor descended, and an ice curtain that almost covered the entire sky and earth rose up, as the Leviathan behemoth falling from the sky crashed heavily onto the ice curtain.

The enormous sound exploded like thunder, and the terrifying impact was completely blocked outside the ice curtain.

Even the ice curtain could hardly withstand such an impact. Cracks spread rapidly across the massive ice curtain, as if the entire sky were splitting apart at that moment.

However, in the instant the Leviathan behemoth halted its impact, an even more powerful freezing force eroded its entire body, completely sealing it within an ice curtain.

The Leviathan writhed its massive body, trying to break free from the ice curtain's seal. However, under the absolute zero temperature filled with the will to die, even its thoughts were slowed to the extreme by absolute freezing, and the slow-moving ideas could not even reach its body.

Gradually, the Leviathan lost its ability to struggle and transformed into a crystalline sculpture suspended high in the sky.

From the outside, the frozen Leviathan looked eerie and terrifying.

Although the current ice cannot truly harm the Leviathan's essence, without external assistance, this enormous beast will find it difficult to break free from the deadly ice.

In a sense, this is no different from death.

Countless people in the capital stared blankly at the sky, and then cheers of relief echoed throughout the entire capital.

No one knows who made the move, but everyone is chanting the name of the Regent.

They couldn't imagine the devastation that would ensue if the Leviathan were to fall.

Others with a broader perspective, however, were puzzled by the powerful force of ice and snow.

"When did a deity wielding such powerful authority over ice and snow appear in the capital?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the Leviathan behemoth, frozen in the sky, suddenly made a move.

As the body struggled, large chunks of ice shattered, turning into shimmering powder in the air, and the frozen body returned to reality.

The frenzied cheers in the capital city suddenly stopped.

However, fear flashed in the eyes of the freed Leviathan, and it did not attack again. Instead, it opened its huge mouth, which was covered with tentacles.

Unlike its corrupt and decadent appearance, the mouth of the Leviathan was a completely empty space, a deep space that seemed to devour even light, a pure darkness in which there was nothing unclean.

Steps woven from countless tentacles extended from the mouth of the Leviathan behemoth and landed in the vast square of the palace.

Then, two slender figures slowly emerged from the mouth of the Leviathan behemoth.

One of them was wearing bright red armor, the alluring armor barely covering the key parts of his body, revealing large areas of fair skin.

A black leather whip was tied around her slender waist, and her alluring face was enough to ignite desire in anyone who saw her.

But compared to this stunning beauty, another person completely captivated everyone's attention.

She was shrouded in silver-white armor from head to toe. The armor, which fit her body perfectly, was not bulky at all. Instead, it accentuated her alluring curves, which were no less stunning than those of a beautiful woman.

Silver-white high-heeled boots encased her long, slender legs, perfectly proportioned, as she stepped onto the tendril-woven staircase. With each step, a sacred golden halo rose around her.

As she descended step by step, the sacred radiance reflected off her silver-white armor, making her appear like a noble angel descended from mythology to earth.

As she took the final step, golden inscriptions seemed to rise from beneath her silver-white high-heeled boots, and blazing holy fire shot into the sky from behind her.

In a daze, everyone seemed to see an angel in golden armor, with six golden wings unfolding behind her.

The angel held a long sword burning with holy fire, and with each swing, the scorching flames spread rapidly, sweeping away all the filth in the world.

Many true gods in the star-studded world witnessed this scene, and strange expressions appeared on their faces in unison.

They had already guessed that the woman in silver armor was the Daughter of the Abyss, but despite being called the Daughter of the Abyss, she displayed angelic power, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration for some to call her a Seraphim.

The Abyss's legitimate daughter wields the power of its mortal enemy, Heaven? This has led many true gods to speculate about the true identity of the Abyss's daughter.

However, Divina, the Daughter of the Abyss, paid no attention to the strange looks from others. Her gaze was now fixed on the throne at the highest point of the ceremony.

Just now, the handsome young man had already sat down on it without anyone noticing.

That indifferent gaze was filled with undisguised indifference.

Divina knew very well that this was the Regent of the Great Yin Empire.

This was the first time she had seen the regent at such close range.

Recalling the regent's various actions, Divina wanted to question him in the name of the Daughter of the Abyss, but when the words reached her lips, some subconscious instinct prevented her from taking the stance of questioning.

As if following instinct, Divina placed her right hand on her chest, her noble figure clad in silver armor bowing slightly as she greeted the young regent on the throne:

"Divina greets His Highness the Regent!"
