Chapter 727: Chapter 727 – Undercurrent
“Interesting.” This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind when he heard the news from the surroundings.
This matter had nothing to do with him. Although he was a prince and one of the future successors of the Violet Empire, his strength was not as powerful. Other than his territory and part of the power distributed by the royal family, his strength in other aspects was incomparable to the other two successors.
Chen Heng himself did not have much time to descend into this world. Therefore, even if he wanted to make a move, he did not have the opportunity.
‘It’s good that it’s chaotic.’ This thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t help but be pulled by it, ‘It’s also time to train my own team.’
His identity was honorable this time, but his strength was still a little weak. He had two older brothers, and was only the Third Prince after all. The First Prince, Aili was 50 years older than Chen Heng’s body, so he had a huge advantage in time, and his accumulated strength was also astonishing.
He should be the most powerful person in Chen Heng’s generation. Perhaps it was the reason that others targeted him, who did not want to see him marry Princess Aimer to increase his influence further. Chen Heng thought for a moment, then walked out.
A few days later.
“You want to leave the Imperial Capital and head to your territory?” In the magnificent palace, the high and mighty king looked at Chen Heng and frowned, “Why would you suddenly have this idea?”
Chen Heng nodded and said, “I have been here for a long time. Every day, I participate in various banquets and kill time everywhere. I didn’t feel good. It feels like a waste of time. So, I want to leave this place and go to the territory my mother left me. I want to see if there is anything I can do there.”
He wanted to head to his territory as he didn’t want to waste time. This was a legitimate reason. However, the king frowned. His majesty couldn’t be concealed. The aura was powerful and made people tremble, “Do you know what it means to do this?”
“Yes, I know.” Chen Heng smiled and said, “I’ve already thought about it thoroughly. So there’s no need to think about it anymore.”
Leaving the Imperial Capital meant giving up on his succession and competition to a certain extent. However, this was an act of voluntary giving up for any descendants of the royal family interested in the throne.
King Violet did not have many children, and there were not more than five who had truly inherited the bloodline of the royal family. Chen Heng was one of the three who had reached adulthood.
Under normal circumstances, The First Prince, Aili, was the most advantageous candidate to inherit the throne, though Chen Heng’s chances were not small either. However, now, he had given up voluntarily.
“As long as you have thought it over.” King Violet nodded, looking as majestic as before as if he was not troubled by this matter, “Go back now.”
“Noted.” Chen Heng bowed respectfully, then left without the slightest nostalgia.
King Violet fell into deep thought as he looked at Chen Heng’s departing figure.
A few days later, Chen Heng’s conversation with the king spread from the palace, causing a huge uproar. A prince voluntarily giving up his succession and preparing to head to his territory was not a piece of small news. Anyone with a stake in the Violet Imperial Capital could not help but pay attention to it. Some people were secretly discussing it.
However, Chen Heng appeared calm. He had been resting in his palace for the past few days and paid little attention to the visitors from the outside world. Then, Alice heard the news and took the lead to visit him.
“Your Highness, are you planning to go back?” She came to Chen Heng’s room and looked at Chen Heng before her worriedly, “Aren’t you going to reconsider?”
“There’s no need for that.” Chen Heng shook his head and said, “It’s not good for us to continue staying here, might as well just leave.” To Chen Heng, the Violet Empire throne was, of course, still important. The higher one stood, the further one could see. This logic was the same regardless of which era it was.
If he could secure the Violet Empire throne, with the strength of the Violet Empire, Chen Heng could search for the secrets and resources of this world more efficiently than if he did it alone.
However, would he be able to obtain the throne of the Violet Empire just by staying in the Imperial Capital? Probably not.
Chen Heng has ample experience, so it wasn’t that he hadn’t experienced a similar situation. Hence, with the current situation, even if he stayed in the capital, it wouldn’t help him in inheriting the throne. Instead, it would restrict him in a lot of ways.
This was the capital of the three great empires, and there were simply too many powerhouses. Most powerful factions were hiding in this place. Hence, there would be great resistance to doing anything, which wasn’t very beneficial for Chen Heng’s future development. It was precisely why Chen Heng decided to leave and retreat to advance.
Leaving the capital didn’t mean giving up the throne completely, only for better development. In the end, this world relied on strength to speak for itself. As long as his personal development reached a certain level, if Chen Heng ultimately wanted the throne, would others dare not give it to him?
Strength was the most important thing, no matter what world it was. At any time, it was useless not to see this. However, of course, there was no need to explain these things in detail.
“Let’s get ready.” He looked at Alice and said softly, “Pack your things. We will leave this place after some time.”
Alice could not help but cover her mouth and seemed surprised, “Could it be that His Majesty has already decided to let His Highness leave?”
From its looks, she still had a sliver of hope in her heart. If King Violet rejected Chen Heng’s request, they would be able to continue staying.
Chen Heng glanced at Alice and secretly shook his head as he noticed her look of anticipation. Only the people in the palace knew what he had said that day. They would not have released the news without King Violet’s approval. Now that the news was released, it had already explained King Violet’s attitude. Chen Heng could clearly see it.
In the end, Alice still went down to prepare her things. However, before she left, she still held onto a trace of fantasy and didn’t seem to want to leave. Nonetheless, Chen Heng didn’t care about her feelings and just left, looking to the outside world.
The next day, the news about King Violet approving Chen Heng’s request was approved. Then, Chen Heng again entered the palace and thanked King Violet.
“You are very different from the others and have had your ideas since you were young.”
In the gorgeous palace, King Violet looked at the handsome-looking Chen Heng. His pair of golden eyes were pure, as dazzling as two golden gems. He was like the Son of Heaven God, looking so dazzling and unforgettable.
He had a tall and straight figure, giving people the impression that he was no longer the immature youth from the past but an indomitable young man. Looking at Chen Heng’s appearance, even someone as powerful as King Violet could not help but feel gratified, as if his child had finally grown up.
Normally, as a king, he rarely interacted with his children. However, now, he could not help but say a few more words.
“After leaving the imperial city, though the pressure you face will be much lesser, the environment will also be worse. So don’t slack and don’t indulge in enjoyment. That will bring you down.” He spoke solemnly and explained his life experience to Chen Heng.
In the end, he gave a sincere blessing, “No matter what, as your father, I hope you can live well there. Remember to come back often when you have time. Also, don’t forget to have a few more children.”
He paused, then said with a smile, “I once had someone to do some fortune-telling. Of my few children, you should be the easiest to father a child. This is your advantage, and you must not waste it. If there isn’t any girl you like there, you can come back here and have a look. I can help you find a few more.”King Violet said, preaching tirelessly.
From here on, the topic started to drift away and shift to giving birth. Nonetheless, giving birth was an important issue for the bloodline family. It was crucial.
It was said that King Violet could stand out when he was still a prince and become the current King Violet because of his outstanding fertility. While the other princes had yet to have children, he already had a few children with strong bloodlines. It could be seen how much the bloodline family valued their children.
Chen Heng was speechless at King Violet’s words and could only maintain a smile on his face, didn’t know what to say. Finally, after a long while, he left the palace and escaped, as if escaping from a prison. Behind him, King Violet looked at Chen Heng’s fleeing figure and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ah, he’s still young.”

…
King Violet’s matter had come to an end here. However, unfortunately, Chen Heng’s issues had just begun.
Far away, in one of the outlying cities, a group of people was holding a sacrifice. Then, finally, individuals were escorted by men in black robes to the central slaughterhouse, where operations began.
“No, no!” Waves of voices sounded throughout the center area.
There was fear on everyone’s faces, who could only watch as their bodies were cut apart. Their flesh and blood were cut off, and intense pain swept through their bodies, causing them to howl in pain.
“No!”
“Kill me! Kill me!”
“You bunch of devils will go to hell sooner or later!”
Waves of howls sounded at this moment. The tortured people let out painful howls, so tragic that it was enough to make people move. They felt terrified, and their entire bodies were trembling. As for the remaining ones, they looked at the scene before them. Then, their bodies began to tremble as if they could not bear it.
“The great Heaven God…” An old man hugged his grandson in his arms and tried his best to cover his ears so he would not feel the miserable situation.
However, it was useless. Soon, they were forcefully pulled apart and sent to the gallows, turning into a pile of torn-apart corpses. Miserable howls sounded continuously. In the surroundings, another kind of voice also sounded.
“Great God, Ruler of Chaos, please descend…”
Before them, the executioner had a fanatical look and was softly murmuring as if praising a supreme existence. The bloody scene, coupled with the fanatical prayer, made the scene extremely strange as if it was a large-scale sacrificial scene for an Evil God.
The terrifying prayer spread in all directions as if it had an infectious power that affected the people around it. In the surroundings, everyone’s faces gradually became dull.
As they looked at the corpses, those crying stopped crying, and their faces gradually became dull and feverish. They were also chanting waves of prayers and a faint murmur. Finally, their faces were filled with passion as they walked to the execution ground and endured torture.
Their blood flowed continuously and dripped onto the ground, turning it into a bloody place. However, they did not have the slightest intention of stopping. When all the blood sacrificers died, the executioner did not stop. Instead, he pointed the torture device at himself.
“Hahahaha! Great Ruler, please descend!”
Waves of crazed roars and howls lingered in this place. Ultimately, this place became a bloody land, and no one survived. Strands of bloody divine power were absorbed in an area ordinary people could not see.
As these strands of power gathered, a great existence began to manifest. Pairs of terrifying eyes opened from all over his body, revealing an aura that belonged to himself.
Bang!
Further away, a tribe was migrating and holding a sacrificial ceremony. However, they held not a blood sacrifice but a normal sacrificial ceremony.
“To the great Ruler of Nature, we offer our faith and pray for your protection. Please provide fruits of our harvest…” Waves of pious words resounded in the surroundings.
Then, streams of divine power began to descend and affect the surroundings. This was the pure divine power of nature. It began to affect the surroundings as soon as it descended, causing all sorts of changes.
Under the divine power’s influence, old trees sprouted, withered grass returned to life, and the originally deathly stillness bloomed with brand new vitality. Everything seemed to have been adjusted and returned to its best state. All things came back to life.
Everyone looked at the scene before them, and their eyes were filled with throbbing tears, looking moved. Everything ended here.
In the north of the Violet Empire, a savage tribe began to migrate under god’s guidance, heading towards the Violet Empire. Then, various changes occurred in every corner of the world. The world was changing without ordinary people’s knowledge.
This change was naturally brought about by the gods who had descended together with Chen Heng. Just like Chen Heng, these people were unwilling to be left alone. After descending, they immediately began to move in this world, producing all sorts of reactions.
