Chapter 1790: Chapter 863: Seeing the Sun Again

Khan Yamun revealed a slight smile and said, “As expected of my son, indeed, the way the Soaring Dragon Empire holds divine authority in human hands is unique and powerful, but it also has its own drawbacks. It requires a long time to accumulate public approval. They spent a full five thousand years cleverly transforming the divine authority from divinely bestowed to self-bestowed, seizing the divine right of the Heavenly Palace and Spirit Mountain.”

I don’t believe I have such patience, so I chose a shortcut, accepting those Killing Vajra Lamas’ suggestion, becoming their reincarnated Killing Buddha, and last year, I even actively integrated a Slaughter Godhood Shard from the Felen Pantheon into my body.”

Preparing to directly return in Felen as a God of Slaughter, giving our Tukan People their own True Gods.”

But I greatly overestimated my strength and underestimated the erosive capability of the Godhood Segment.”

Not to mention, whether those Deities of Phelun would allow me to return as a God of Slaughter.”

Even if my plan does succeed, I am not sure whether I would still truly be myself, still be the Celestial Khan of the Tukan People, still your father, or remember my original intention.”

So, this is destined to be a one-way path.”

The only thing I can prove is that one must not easily take shortcuts…”

“Father!” Prince Hubadai’s voice choked, never having imagined the man of few words was bearing such a heavy burden.”

“Can we abandon the Slaughter Godhood Shard, detach it, and relinquish the strength it brings?” Prince Hubadai suggested, “Our Golden Tent Army is still here, we still have a chance to start over.”

“Ha… Do you think the strength of the Gods can be obtained or relinquished at will? The only way to abandon it is death!” Khan Yamun’s voice suddenly turned abnormally cold, as if he had completely transformed into another person, and his words exuded endless coldness. Each word was like a steel knife, directly piercing into Prince Hubadai’s body, scraping at his bones, making his whole body ache.”

This was not his father; it was the Slaughter Godhood Shard controlling his Soul Consciousness.”

Prince Hubadai suddenly realized that Khan Yamun’s greatest enemy was not outside, but within his own body.”

After the Battle of the Lake, he absorbed too much Slaughter Divine Power, placing him on the verge of collapse.”

Going forward, they would need to engage in numerous battles, and Father would acquire more Slaughter Divine Power, his condition likely worsening.”

Khan Yamun now had him and the Golden Tent Army moved far away, more for preparing a retreat for the Tukan People than anything, but mostly to protect him.”

Once the Slaughter Godhood Shard completely takes control, his emotions would be entirely submerged, becoming a machine that only understands slaughter, holding not the slightest sentiment for him or the Tukan People, not even caring if they were all to die.”

“Go back.” An angry shout erupted from Khan Yamun’s mouth, the whole body’s Power of Slaughter rolling like mist, oppressively suffocating those nearby, especially Prince Hubadai, who was directly driven to his knees.

But he knew Khan Yamun was not targeting him, his Soul Consciousness was contending with the Slaughter Godhood Shard for control of the body.”

Soon, that cold breath retreated from Khan Yamun’s body, the Slaughter Divine Power stabilized again.”

Khan Yamun wanted to reach out to help Prince Hubadai up, but eventually withdrew his hand, exhaled deeply and said, “You are now fully aware of the situation, aren’t you?”

This shortcut is fatal, there’s no turning back, even if I wanted to abandon the Slaughter Godhood Shard, it wouldn’t abandon me, because I am its vessel for rebirth.”

I can only move forward, not backward.”

I represent the Tukan People’s vanishing past; you represent the future of our Tukan People.”

Learn from my lessons, Felen’s path is not viable for our Tukan People.”

Then follow the path of the Soaring Dragon Empire, it is your strength; if one generation cannot complete, then two, if two fails, then three. As long as you persist, success will come someday.”

The last thing I can do for you is to clear this path of obstacles.”

Although Khan Yamun did not explicitly say it, Prince Hubadai still discerned the true meaning within.”

Even if he found the ancient portal of Imasca in the Endless Wilderness, most of the Tukan People following Khan Yamun could not return.”

For they mostly were vested interests and diehards of the Tukan People.”

They were forced to pledge allegiance to Khan Yamun by his overwhelming might. Without Khan Yamun’s coercion, let alone implementing new policies among the Tukan People, it is uncertain whether they would even willingly acknowledge him as the new Great Khan.”

The simplest and most effective method would be making them his burial companions.”

From the start, Khan Yamun had already planned everything, now only revealing it to him.”

“Father…” Prince Hubadai couldn’t find the right words to express his inner thoughts and feelings.”

This had far exceeded filial affection; it was a grand sentiment for the future of the entire Tukan.”

“Only heaven, earth, you, and I know about this.” Khan Yamun solemnly stated, “From now on, the Golden Tent Army will be completely under your command. Besides the current orders, I will no longer issue any new commands to you.”
