While Yenma was currently busy flexing his muscles and becoming comfortable in his "suddenly young" body, there was a whole another scene going on in the strongest empire in the Euler Continent.
.
.
In TianWu Empire, Euler Continent.
Under the Royal Palace of Wu, there was an underground palace inside which there was another palace and inside the main hall of that palace all the big shots of the Royal family were currently assembled.
They were all suddenly summoned here and everyone had a confused look on their faces.
One middle-aged man in Royal robes that were embroidered with dragons and phoenixes stood up and spoke what everyone was currently thinking, "Why were we summoned here?"
The middle-aged man wore a crown on his head, he was the 165th Emperor of the TianWu Empire, TianWu Shu.
His question was addressed to a feeble weak old man who looked as if he had half-a-foot in his grave already. This feeble weak old man was the Royal Prophet of the TianWu Empire, Tin Guangfu.
He was a remarkably ordinary looking old man, the only thing that stood out were probably his extremely opulent clothes and his blindfolded eyes. Tin Guangfu was born blind but his abilities to prophesy had ensured the removal of the internal and external dangers of the Empire and made them even more prosperous.
Sensing the confusion, Tin Guangfu broke out in a wild laughter, "We are fvked."
The hotshots of the Royal family frowned but didn't say anything, everyone knew of the eccentric nature of the Prophet.
TianWu Shu once again respectfully asked, "Could Senior Fu please elaborate?"
Guangfu didn't keep those hotshots in anymore suspense, "I just foresaw that a great calamity will descend upon our Euler Continent….perhaps it has already descended and is only in its early stages…."
The whole main hall broke out in cold sweat, everyone knew that the Royal Prophet had 110% accuracy when it came to his prophecies.
The additional 10% accuracy was due to the fact that the Royal Prophet could actually elaborate on what his prophecy was about.
"Hmm.. the prophecy was: time shall reverse, calamity will arise… World will be pushed into chaos and the bright moon of Wu shall be sacrificed to end the calamity and make the people rise.", Guangfu continued as he gently stroked his long-white beard. He suddenly seemed nonchalant as if talking about the weather, some people in the main hall had a sudden urge to hit him but they controlled themselves.
"I am not sure what this even means… but what we can be sure of is two things.. our World will be met with some huge calamity… and our ticket to get out of that calamity is the bright moon of Wu…", Guangfu said.
The Royal family hotshots in the main hall discreetly nodded their heads, it seemed what the Royal Prophet said could very likely be correct.
Another middle-aged man, who was the brother of the TianWu Emperor, TianWu Zhu asked, "... What does Senior Fu mean by [Bright moon of Wu]?"
"Ehhh.. Im not really sure…", Guangfu frowned and contemplated.
TianWu Shu suddenly spoke, "It couldn't be… about little Yue right?..", TianWu Shu's face suddenly darkened as he thought about that possibility.
Guangfu thought harder, "... There is no other moon that I can think of… It really… could be TianWu Yue…"
TianWu Shu's face was grim and angry, "Then as per your prophecy... doesn't that mean my daughter will have to sacrifice herself?!"
The main hall broke into a furious uproar, TianWu Emperor had only one daughter, he had loved only one woman all his life but she had died shortly after the birth of TianWu Yue… hearing that his only child was to become some sacrifice, it was no wonder TianWu Shu was angered.
"..... For the betterment of the Empire, the Continent and the World-", Guangfu recited the lines from the Holy Book of Vehmos.
TianWu Shu could no longer control himself as he leaped and grabbed Guangfu's collar in indignation and anger, "..Please.. not my daughter! She is my only child.. please..there has to be another way..!!"
Guangfu coughed, "...not...not...not my collar!"
TianWu Shu suddenly realized his improper and rude behaviour but he still didn't let go of the collar, "..please.." he softly muttered.
"Let go damnit...you are not some kid!", Guangfu suddenly grabbed TianWu Shu's hand and twisted it and threw him onto the ground, a huge crater stretching for 100 metres suddenly appeared and the whole palace which was inside an underground palace rumbled heavily.
TianWu Shu jumped out from the crater, he dusted himself off and respectfully bent towards the Prophet, his eyes filled with helplessness, ".. Please forgive this Junior for his rude behaviour…"
"Hmph. Such rude behavior… since I'm a forgiving person, I shall forgive your rude behaviour… but it really makes me wonder.. who in their right mind recommended you to the throne of TianWu Empire given your rude behaviour and lack of manners??!....", Guangfu seemed to suddenly turn into a grumbling old man.
From the corner of the main hall, one small voice came in, "Senior Fu….It was you who recommended TianWu Shu for the throne…."
.
That voice came in when everyone in main hall had suddenly quietened down, hence even if the speaker didn't want to say it out loudly….it was heard clearly by everyone.
