Chapter 1257: with translation of chapter title

Abdicating the throne is simple; as long as the target person meets the conditions, one can directly upgrade from an ordinary person's status to the position of "Crown Prince".

Then, by choosing to abdicate oneself, the abdication succeeds.

This operation is the same as a guild leader stepping down, only the rank is slightly higher.

Xiao Feng first issued an edict using his throne: all ministers should do their duties; even if the throne changes, they must work properly and are not allowed to return to their original divine kingdoms!

Otherwise, the pillars poached from various divine kingdoms might flee, causing the internal collapse of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom.

Only then did he begin the formal operation.

【Divine Realm Announcement: The Lord of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom, Xiao Feng, appoints the player "Blind Archer" as the first Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom!】

A simple announcement flashed by, leaving players in each war zone somewhat baffled.

Those from the Azure Sky World who saw this announcement furrowed their brows, as if they understood something.

Before they could think much, another announcement followed.

【Divine Realm Announcement: Times change, worldly affairs are impermanent. After 84 days on the throne, the Lord of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom, Xiao Feng, suddenly felt exhausted, decided to abdicate in favor of the worthy, and passed the throne to the first Crown Prince, "Blind Archer." Henceforth, "Blind Archer" ascends as the second-generation Lord of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom, hereby announced to the world!】

【Divine Realm Announcement……】

【Divine Realm Announcement……】

This announcement was played three times, directly leaving all players in the region completely bewildered.

"What's going on? Can the lord even hand over the throne to someone else?"

"After only 84 days on the throne he's already no good—this great god Xiao Feng is a weakling; I'd rather have him give it to me!"

"Isn't the Blind Archer Xiao Feng's teammate? How did he become Crown Prince? The Crown Prince should be his child or brother!"

"Damn! I get it—they're definitely farming honor! Being lord surely has special rewards; they're just exploiting a bug here!"

Throughout the Elemental Divine Realm, countless players are heatedly discussing this matter.

Even members of his own guild feel utterly puzzled, wondering why they'd change the lord for no reason.

Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered to explain; anyway, everyone will soon guess it's for the territorial war.

He watched as the title suddenly changed to the Lord of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom, Blind Sister Jiang Ning, and a smile curled his lips: "Your Majesty the Queen, it's time to make good on the promise~"

Jiang Ning hadn't yet checked the lord's permissions; seeing his shameless expression, she blushed and said: "I… I can I back out? This place is the wilderness; I… I'm a bit scared…"

"No way! Words spoken must be kept; you said I'd make you 'above ten thousand, below one.' You're already above ten thousand, but not yet below one!"

Xiao Feng grabbed her wrist and sped through the air, seeking a secluded spot.

Soon, he found a large round tree hollow.

Such a place is perfect for doing things that shouldn't be seen!

"But, but…"

Jiang Ning's cheeks flushed crimson; she felt utterly flustered about what was coming, not knowing where to put her hands.

Xiao Feng pushed her into the tree hollow, followed closely himself, and used his will to move many leaves to block the entrance.

"Xiao, Xiao Feng big brother…"

Jiang Ning fell to the ground, looking at the approaching man, her heart pounding wildly.

The tree hollow isn't very large—just about the size of a bed.

Xiao Feng removed his equipment, smirking: "Still calling me that? My Queen, it's time to change your address."

"What, what address?" Jiang Ning said timidly, not daring to meet his eyes.

Xiao Feng lunged at her, an evil smirk on his face: "I've passed the throne to you, so you should of course call me Father Emperor."

"Ah? This… mmm…"

Inside the tree hollow, the two generations of lords of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom engaged in a great battle.

The new queen lacked combat experience; before the veteran lord's deep experience, she was utterly helpless, beaten back repeatedly, discarding armor and weapons, crying out for help.

Unfortunately, the old lord didn't want to just let the usurping queen go; he pursued her relentlessly, driving her back and forth seven times in the palace, until she fled in disarray, trembling all over, holding up a white flag.

The battle lasted several hours.

Finally, the old lord thrust his spear through the queen's body, pinning her in the inner hall of the palace, leaving an indelible scar, ending this battle of vastly disparate strength.

……

Three days later.

Wind Spirit Island.

The five major guilds of the Demolition Team Alliance, as well as many players from Blue Star's 8th War Zone, have already arrived here by airship, having waited two days.

They arrived a bit early; the progress of the Chaos Tree cannot be sped up, so they can only temporarily wait in the uninhabited area near the primal forest on Wind Spirit Island.

At this point, only four hours remain before the territorial war begins, yet this group of elite players hasn't managed to return to the Divine Kingdom mainland to make war preparations.

Xiao Feng watched the 24-hour cultivation cooldown of the Chaos Tree; the next cultivation would be the last one.

Everyone was waiting for him.

Jiang Ning, Xing Yun Miao, and Dun Dun were also teleported here by him.

Also, Da Bai, who had just advanced to an eighth‑grade spirit beast these two days, was circling in the air, showing off by constantly flapping its wings, stirring up gusts of wind.

Da Bai is a mutant spirit beast; its ancestors had no such breed, so after advancing to eighth grade it did not become any known high‑grade spirit beast, but rather underwent stronger growth based on its original foundation.

At present, Da Bai's attributes have increased considerably, its level has broken through 300, and while advancing it also happened to pass the divine tribulation.

【Da Bai (Hunyuan Lingxiao Xuanhe)】

Breed: Primordial Divine Bird · Hunyuan Lingxiao Xuanhe

Quality: 8th‑grade Mutant

Talents: Invulnerable to All Laws, Metamorphosis (activated at level 501), Void Shuttling (activated at level 501)

Level: 300 (Growth Stage)

Loyalty: 100 (Permanently 100)

Life value: 580 million/584 million

Spirit power value: 32000 (1 point spirit power = 1 point divine origin power = 100 attack = 1000 mana)

Spirit resistance value: 21000 (equal to divine power resistance)

Normal speed: 720000 (when accelerated to maximum, 720 kilometers per minute)

Skills: Divine Bird Strike (Transformation Realm), Immortal Thunder Technique (Transformation Realm), Immortal Crane Seizing Dragon (Transformation Realm), Heavenly Thunder Body Infusion Blessing (Transformation Realm), Chase Light and Pursue Lightning (Transformation Realm), Crane Shadow Soul-Splitting Strike (Transformation Realm), Cloud Crane Nine Flashes, Tribulation-Destroying Thunderbolt (1st Tier Secret Art)

Stamina: 100/100

Looking at talent and skills, Da Bai's information hasn't changed much; it's still the same as before.

But the addition of 'Primordial Chaos' before its species name indicates it has the potential to enter the Primordial Chaos realm and become a venerable one.

Even if it doesn't become a venerable one, it can easily reach the Divine King realm.

Furthermore, its talent 'Invulnerable to All Laws' changed from 'not higher than its own level 50' to 'not higher than its own level 100', granting immunity to damage.

Even a level 395 Xiao Feng can't damage it; just like the talent of No. 3 Yi Hao Ji Bing, it directly ignores it, and no matter how high the damage, it cannot break this immunity state.

Such an improvement naturally made Da Bai extremely excited and immensely proud; all day it held its head high and puffed its chest, spreading its noble status among the residents of Wind Spirit Island.

However, in front of Xiao Feng, it still couldn't show off.

Every time it went up to Xiao Feng to show off its eighth‑level spirit beast identity, Xiao Feng would retort with: 'So what? You still don't have the function to marry a wife,' leaving it speechless.

After being retorted a few times, Da Bai simply gave up and said: 'If I can't marry, I can't marry; Qinglian Xianzi will surely understand me; even if we can't become husband and wife, we can still be good sisters!' making everyone burst into laughter.
