Chapter 684: The Destiny of a Country

A middle-aged man in a dragon robe walked out of the sedan chair.

This man had black hair, a straight figure, and an outstanding temperament. He was like a sharp sword that shot straight into the sky, exuding a sense of majesty that controlled the sky and the earth.

It was Emperor Yunyuan.

"How is it possible?"

Prince Rui tried to maintain his expression so that his expression would not collapse. But even so, his eyes still revealed an extremely shocked look that could not be hidden.

The middle-aged man who walked out of the sedan chair was indeed Emperor Yunyuan himself.

However, he was not the Emperor Yunyuan in the past few years in Prince Rui's impression, but more like the Emperor Yunyuan in his memory ten years ago, or even twenty years ago.

What is going on?

Not only was Prince Rui puzzled, but the head of the Lin family beside him was also puzzled.

Didn't they say that the emperor's condition worsened and he didn't have much time left? How come he appeared now, not only full of energy, but also younger, and even his half-white hair turned black.

Is this a miracle drug?

But what miracle drug in the world can achieve such an effect?

Others present were also surprised, because in recent years, everyone could see that the emperor aged very quickly. He was obviously in his forties or fifties, but he looked like he was in his sixties or seventies, or even better.

Many people speculated whether the emperor worked too hard for state affairs and damaged his physical foundation.

But now, everyone saw with their own eyes that Emperor Yunyuan's hair not only became black, but also the skin on his face became smooth, tight and elastic again. The whole person was like a thirty-year-old, full of vitality.

This magical change made everyone stunned. It was hard to believe that what they saw was the truth.

"What's going on? How did His Majesty become younger?"

"This is simply a miracle, incredible."

"I heard that the king of a country has dragon luck to protect him. Could it be that the dragon luck has worked on His Majesty, making His Majesty younger?"

Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Prince Rui's face gradually became very ugly.

Dragon luck is something illusory, and Prince Rui doesn't know whether it really exists.

But he knows that if everyone thinks that the emperor is a person protected by dragon luck, it is undoubtedly telling everyone that the emperor is the true dragon emperor appointed by this land, and no one else can replace him.

If that's the case, what does the throne have to do with Prince Rui?

Su Chen smiled slightly. Only he knew that the emperor could have such a magical change because of the effect of Songyun Dan.

As for the dragon luck, Su Chen also knows something about it. In places with a higher level of martial arts civilization, people usually don't call it "dragon luck", but "national luck".

The so-called national destiny is the luck of a country. It is said that the luck of a country will be directly infused into the monarch, which will not only prolong the life of the monarch and slow down the aging process, but also make the monarch practice faster than ordinary people. When encountering the shackles of martial arts, it is easier to break than ordinary people.

However, all this is based on the premise that one must be the monarch. If one takes the initiative to step down from the throne, he will lose the support of the national destiny. Not only will his cultivation be immediately reduced to his original form, but if his life span exceeds the upper limit, he will die of old age the moment he leaves the country.

Moreover, not every country has national destiny, nor can every emperor have it. Only an emperor who governs the country well, and everything in the country is thriving and people's hearts are gathered, can it be possible to condense national destiny, and national destiny will only be infused into that emperor.

In other words, if someone plots to usurp the throne, he will not directly inherit the national destiny of the previous emperor.

However, according to Su Chen's observation, a small country like the Yunyuan Empire should not have national destiny for the time being, and even if it does, it is very weak.

This is not to say that Emperor Yunyuan is incompetent in governing the country, but the Yunyuan Empire is not a big country in the whole continent. Even if it is only in Dongzhou, the national strength of Yunyuan Empire is relatively weak, sandwiched between several other powerful empires, and there is not much breathing space.

This is because Yunyuan Empire is relatively poor in resources, and secondly, Yunyuan Empire is a branch of Liu Family, one of the eight great families in Dongzhou. If it were not for these two reasons, I am afraid that the current Yunyuan Empire would have been annexed by other big countries.

Therefore, it is normal for such a small country to have weak or even no national destiny.

However, the people at the scene did not know this, but attributed the magical change of Emperor Yunyuan's rejuvenation to national destiny.

"Your Majesty is protected by the dragon destiny, and is the true dragon emperor recognized by heaven."

"Long live His Majesty!"

Guan Fan, the Duke of Guan, suddenly took the lead and shouted.

Immediately, the people of the Guan family also shouted.

"Long live His Majesty!"

"Long live His Majesty!"

More and more people shouted, and gradually, the voices of the people below shouted "Long live" became louder and louder, merging into one, like a tsunami, soaring into the sky and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At this moment, everyone firmly believed that the emperor was the emperor destined by heaven.
