Or the succession problems of Thoren. These were all distant pasts for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he experienced repeatedly, History had its own momentum. No one, not the Lion prince of today or a Dragon prince of tomorrow could stop the arrival of God Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he pushed Thoren to not kill, the framework of ’benevolence’ would fall apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Emperor who could ally with him against Architect should be the one willing to use force for good reasons—reasons beyond personal benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I will help you to the best of my ability.’ Varian aided instead of obstructing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren joined hands with a few others in a secret realm during a prince competition and made a move on the Lion prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was confirmed then that the Lion prince was indeed maintaining a facade. He was neither kind nor gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Emperor was vindicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Varian’s help, he staged a perfect death scene, absolving him of any responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suspicions lingered but not enough to affect the race. In fact, the race of princes grew fierce with the favorite eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chaos gave Thoren plenty of opportunities to get ahead who went to all lengths to progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren saw all his actions as necessary for achieving the seemingly impossible goal of claiming the Throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a peak rank 9 celestial, he had his own judgement and experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Varian tried to stop him for the sake of morals, he’d see it as his teacher’s impracticality and hypocrisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian watched, with apprehension but also hope Thoren struggling for a long time before finally taking that leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thoren, the empire confers you the position of tenth prince for reaching the divine rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, you are Thoren Aur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are now just one step away from the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May the best win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celebrations erupted across various duchies. The golden prince was kind, benevolent and wildly popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave people what no one else did. A promise of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his quarters, Thoren saw tens of thousands of people gathered outside his palace. Deep joy welled inside his heart and a gentle smile adorned his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how the original God emperor was, but this one genuinely loved common people. Even Varian himself wasn’t so selfless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\" He said slowly. \"Once I gain the throne, I’ll change everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. I’m looking forward to it.\" Varian was equally sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But will you able to last until then?\" The student asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection with God Emperor was growing fainter and fainter as he was growing stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian’s consciousness was ’phasing’ out of the timeline every now and then before reappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s as if the current of time was trying to pushing him away and he was forcing himself back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And each disappearance easily spanned over a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren was really shaken the first time. But thankfully, he kept the teachings in mind and grew more resolute in the path of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they both knew he couldn’t keep returning. One day, it’d be the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, teacher.\" Thoren broke the heavy silence. \"Once I am the emperor, I will see if I can heal your dissipating soul. It’ll be alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day was closer than either of them could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor of Jai was injured by the alliance leaders and pushed forward selection of the crown prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through lot of blood, scheming and sheer grit, Thoren climbed the stairs of bones, reaching the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wasn’t a rank 2. But he was already given the slivers for training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s talents seemed the highest with the slivers. He grew rapidly. Varian no longer instructed him diligently, for he was disappearing more and more often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand years, five thousand years, ten thousand years, hundred thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bond changed from a caring teacher who always stayed with his student to a master who visited every now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren still remained respectful and to Varian’s relief, his genuine desire in peace never wavered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he slowly gained more and more ruling powers, he began his reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severe interracial conflicts were systematically eliminated. Noble corruptions were slowly weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was severe backlash for each change. But the God Emperor was relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, with his own talent and strength, he had already won over many powerful figures whose minds were solely on the empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all saw him as the man who could lead Jai to greater heights. So, he went all in on the changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What didn’t happen over a million years happened in a few hundred. The reforms were brutal, quick and well thought out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old generations who last witnessed his princely days were dying. For the new generations, he had always been an emperor since their birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born into this new society he moulded, they began to fear him more than loving him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, Thoren didn’t shape the public opinion. He deemed it’s better for the peace if people feared the ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time, a lot of the old problems were solved once and for all. And sorting its infighting and excess exploitation, the Jai empire grew increasingly prosperous and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dominance of alliance was slipping away each century at a visible rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor, still a newbie at low rank 2, earnestly tried for peace several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are all members of Eden. Why are even fighting for? You have your slivers, we have ours. We can work together on a lot of things, we don’t have to be life and death enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many people died already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t even know when the war started, yet we keep fighting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s end this forever war and welcome peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor had to face a lot of backlash at home, even from his most ardent supporters for this move. But he remained steadfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man genuinely hoped for peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the alliance completely misunderstood his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw it as him stalling for time as Jai was catching up and growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of dialing down the tensions, the alliance launched a full scale war, breaking down any chance of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the war began, Varian’s consciousness was violently shaken out of the timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the world was flickering, he noticed an injured Thoren entering God’s Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait, we never got there! Was the primordial god’s corpse there?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian tried to fight back the current but was fiercely thrown back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned, he realized the turmoil amplified his disappearance a thousand times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high rank 2 God Emperor greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1114,"2026-06-06T07:59:03.344Z",1,"novelbin.me","0289cfe94f85956fbd5533668790298d6a4b32e31362c3262eda49b04b63e7d0","divine-path-system-chapter-1651","divine-path-system-chapter-1749",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
