Chapter 229: The Blue Silver King Declares—“Among the Blue Silver Grass, There Is Only One Sun!” Self-Generated Eighth Spirit Ring!
"O mighty sovereign!"
"To create a paradise on earth for our Blue Silver Grass clan, and to bring forth the glory of evolution for our kind..."
"You are the one destined to be our Emperor!"
"To have such a noble sovereign arise among our Blue Silver Grass... it is the greatest honor our kind could ever receive!"
"I believe that with the awakening of your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, you will surely lead us to greatness and glory!"
The aged face of the Blue Silver King was filled with fervent admiration and zeal as he stared at the patch of grass not far ahead, where Ye Yu had transformed into a massive blue-silver cocoon.
Truthfully, the Blue Silver King could sense it too—Ye Yu's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline wasn't completely pure. He was a human with the bloodline, not a true Blue Silver Grass.
But just like in the original story, where the Blue Silver King had acknowledged Tang San despite him only possessing the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline...
As long as Ye Yu possessed that bloodline, and as long as Ah Yin did not oppose him—
The Blue Silver King would recognize him.
In fact, compared to Tang San, Ye Yu had gone even further—he had developed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul into a completely independent path, one even stronger than the Blue Silver Emperor itself!
Not to mention, while Ah Yin held the role of Empress, Ye Yu was the Emperor.
That alone was enough for the Blue Silver King to show even deeper reverence for Ye Yu.
And with Ye Yu's praises and the manifestation of the Blue Silver Decree—a domain that could grant evolutionary potential to Blue Silver Grass—and the creation of a veritable heaven-on-earth known as the Blue Silver Domain...
In the eyes of the Blue Silver King now—
Ye Yu was the eternal sun of their kind.
Ah Yin? The so-called Empress? Forgotten.
From now on, the Blue Silver King—and the entire Blue Silver Grass race—would offer nothing but loyalty, gratitude, and devotion to their Great Emperor.
And if Ah Yin were to follow Ye Yu in perfect harmony, they would accept her once more.
But should conflict ever arise between the Empress and their Emperor...
Then forgive them.
For in the heart of every Blue Silver Grass—
There is only one sun!
Loyalty.
Gratitude.
Devotion.
Inside the Blue Silver Domain—
After being drawn into the domain by Ye Yu, Ah Yin looked at Xiao Wu, still unconscious on the ground.
A trace of sorrow and helplessness flickered across her beautiful and gentle face as she sat down silently on a patch of open earth.
This Ye Yu... why is he always so cautious?
Ah Yin knew very well that the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline would induce a state of deep slumber.
She had originally intended to use that moment—when Ye Yu was unconscious during the awakening—to attempt a rescue of her husband, Tang Hao.
But to her dismay, Ye Yu had been far too careful.
He had directly sealed her away again inside the Blue Silver Domain.
Ah Yin sighed in frustration.
As Ye Yu underwent the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline...
Behind the cocoon, his Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul quietly manifested.
With a trunk over three meters wide, sparkling and translucent like blue crystal, its branches and leaves shimmered with starlight, crescent moons, and miniature suns.
Along its bark coiled crimson phoenix-like patterns, ice-blue streaks, and violet lightning-like veins.
Its lush canopy towered toward the sky, radiating a beauty that resembled the expanse of a starlit night.
From beneath the cocoon, one ring after another began to rise:
Two purple, four black, one red—seven Spirit Rings in total, surrounding the cocoon in brilliant radiance.
High above, in the vast blue ocean formed by countless azure dots of light, a surge of blue energy surged toward Ye Yu's cocoon, flowing like a mighty river.
Some of the light entered Ye Yu's seven Spirit Rings, tinting them with a faint blue-silver hue.
As Ye Yu's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline awakened, both his manifested and cocoon-form Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Souls became more radiant.
The golden markings on their surfaces widened and glowed more brilliantly.
At the same time, the Blue Silver Decree seemed to evolve as well.
Around the Martial Soul, countless Blue Silver Grass blades began to grow madly—their once-slender stems thickened and lengthened, sprouting vine-like tendrils resembling the early stages of Blue Silver Vine evolution.
Even the Blue Silver King could feel it—the Blue Silver Decree's domain had grown even more powerful, now emitting a potent energy that spurred rapid evolution among the Blue Silver Grass.
Inside the cocoon, Ye Yu's physical form began to transform.
His skin became smooth and radiant like flawless jade. His once-black hair turned into brilliant blue-silver crystal strands, and his eyes took on a dazzling blue-silver hue.
His already handsome appearance became even more striking and refined.
As the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him completed its awakening, the seven Spirit Rings surrounding the cocoon gradually dimmed and receded back into his body.
However, the torrent of blue energy from the sky did not stop.
Instead of entering Ye Yu's body, the energy began to gather around the cocoon, forming a massive blue ring.
The ring continued to condense, its hue deepening.
Eventually, it became a crimson Spirit Ring.
But the process wasn't finished.
This newly-formed crimson ring kept absorbing more and more of the blue light pouring from the sky, growing increasingly dense in color—clearly, this was Ye Yu's eighth self-generated Spirit Ring!
And thanks to Ye Yu's powerful physique, which could easily endure Spirit Rings well beyond 100,000 years—
This eighth Spirit Ring continued absorbing the power offered by countless Blue Silver Grass within the forest.
Luckily, the Blue Silver Forest was vast, and with his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline awakened...
Both the Blue Silver Decree and his Blue Silver Domain now passively enveloped the entire forest.
These twin fields accelerated the growth and recovery of all Blue Silver Grass within them, enabling continuous contributions of energy toward Ye Yu's evolving eighth ring.
As time passed, the eighth ring surpassed the 100,000-year threshold...
Its crimson hue deepened to dark red, marking it as a Spirit Ring well beyond that level, though still short of the million-year rank.
Eventually, when the absorption ceased, the massive crimson ring slowly dissipated...
Returning into Ye Yu's body.
The cocoon surrounding him exploded into a cascade of glowing blue particles...
Revealing Ye Yu's transformed form—his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline fully awakened.
