Page 138: Was this also within your expectations?

Night.

It is still raining outside.

"Yu Lin, didn't you say you were going to see Emperor Shun? Let's go, go, go."

Dragon Elder Ra tugged at Yu Lin's sleeve as he lay on the hammock, looking very eager.

"Fine." Yu Lin did not sit up; instead, his soul left his body directly.

Although the Lian Qi Method cannot be used now, his soul's strength is here; he can't just push his already elevated soul back down, can he?

His soul drifted out of his flesh, casting a faint silvery glow in the dim room.

He lowered his head to glance at his semi‑transparent body, then looked toward the roiling dark clouds outside the window.

The feeling was rather strange.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

Before the words finished, Dragon Elder transformed into a Golden Dragon and lifted him.

The Qilin also shrank to the size of a puppy, and Yu Lin cradled it in his arms.

Boom—

Yu Lin stepped onto the Dragon Elder, soaring into the heavens, instantly piercing the thick rain clouds.

The icy raindrops passed through his soul body, bringing a faint chill.

At the moment they broke through the cloud layer, a cascade of starlight poured down, and the bright moonlight plated his soul with a layer of silver radiance.

As they flew, the sea of clouds below gradually shifted from black to white, resembling a rolling snowfield.

Distant mountain ranges were outlined in the moonlight, forming winding silhouettes.

Their destination: the You Yu Clan tribe.

Emperor Shun's original name was Yao Zhonghua.

Born with double pupils, he is a gift of the Holy King.

At this moment.

Moonlight, like water, quietly fell over the You Yu Clan's tribe.

Here, unlike the torrential rain of the Chong Clan, the night sky is dotted with countless stars, a gentle breeze brushes the treetops, bringing a faint cool scent of grass and wood.

In the center of the tribe, a simple courtyard stood quietly.

The courtyard walls were built from ordinary yellow clay, and several old locust trees in the yard cast mottled shadows.

Aside from being slightly larger, this courtyard was no different from ordinary people's dwellings.

Beside the stone table at the courtyard's center, two people sat opposite each other.

One was roughly middle‑aged, with a resolute face and bright, spirited eyes.

The strangest thing was that each of his eyes contained two pupils, shimmering with profound light in the moonlight.

He wore a hemp garment, his finger joints were thick, his build robust, clearly not lacking in martial strength.

Opposite him sat an elderly man with white hair; the wrinkles on his forehead resembled a dried riverbed, yet could not hide his wise eyes, and most striking were his eyebrows of eight colors.

He held a green bamboo staff in his hand, its shaft engraved with pictograms.

Though aged, his back was straight as a pine, exuding an unruffled, imposing aura.

On the stone table between them lay a crude star map.

The elder lightly tapped a certain position on the map with his staff, opened his mouth to speak, while the middle‑aged man listened intently, nodding occasionally.

The night breeze blew, locust flowers fluttered down, a few petals landed on the star map, yet no one brushed them away.

Until.

The elder suddenly paused.

He looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, revealing a faint smile:

"Zhonghua, a guest has arrived."

"Oh?" Emperor Shun slowly raised his head, and brilliant golden light suddenly burst from his double pupils.

Those double pupils seemed able to pierce the heavens; wherever his gaze fell, the cloud layer automatically split, revealing the bright moon disc.

His sight penetrated the night sky as if solid, precisely locking onto the figure standing upon the dragon.

In an instant, the entire firmament trembled, and amid the rolling clouds, a pair of colossal, floating eyes materialized in the sky!

Yu Lin felt his whole body tighten, as if restrained by an invisible force.

A vast celestial sound exploded beside his ear, each word booming like thunder:

"Who comes?"

The voice did not come from a mortal throat, but from the resonance of heaven and earth.

At the moment it appeared, the clouds surrounding Yu Lin were shattered by the sound wave, revealing his complete soul body.

Under the moonlight, Emperor Shun's figure, though on the ground, seemed as tall as the sky.

He merely sat there, giving the impression of supporting the heavens and anchoring the earth, as if nothing before him could hinder him or make him bow.

As he spoke, vague silhouettes of mountains and rivers floated in the void behind him, as if the entire Human Race's destiny were bestowed upon him.

In those double pupils, the left eye reflected the sun, the right held the moon, embodying the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

The You Yu Clan members abruptly awoke from their dreams, raising their heads to look toward the horizon, unsure of what was happening.

What is the emperor doing at this late hour? Who has arrived?

At that moment.

The elder before Emperor Shun lifted his staff and tapped Shun's arm, chiding with a laugh, "Zhonghua, don't scare people."

He's our junior!

...... It was my reckless act. Emperor Shun immediately withdrew his oppressive aura, and the massive eyes in the sky faded.

The old man then rose and waved at Yu Lin:

Kid, come here, come here.

Yu Lin originally only needed to glance from a distance and then leave, but Dragon Lord told him to take a few more looks, confident that he wouldn't be discovered.

One can only say, the Human Emperor truly lives up to his title.

Ah, a little closer, a little closer, I'm confident I won't be noticed... what's going on?

Dragon Lord listened to Yu Lin's words in silence.

That guy must be taking revenge for the time he was mocked for embarrassing himself before Da Yu!

Silence is the best silence!

Yu Lin felt the oppressive aura around him dissipate, and when he heard the old man call him, he went down with the flow.

He stepped before the two and bowed, saying, "Yu Lin has seen the two emperors."

The one with double pupils is Emperor Shun, the one with eight‑colored eyebrows is Emperor Yao.

Emperor Yao's original name is Yi Qi Fangxun.

Upon hearing his words, he rose, helped Yu Lin to his feet, and shook his head with a smile:

"There can be only one emperor, and besides, being emperor is exhausting! I'm an old Bone now, I don't want to labor any more!"

"Kid, if you wish in the future, just call me Yi Qi Ye."

"Sit down, sit down."

Good fellow.

Now the seniority truly jumps another level.

Yu Lin was pressed by him to sit in the seat beside him.

There are three stone benches here; Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun sit on two, leaving one empty.

It seems the extra one is for him.

Yu Lin looked at the smiling Emperor Yao, winking at him, like an old mischievous child.

Was this also within your expectation?
