I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 412 - 72: Husband, I Will Serve You Well

Hundreds of thousands of people were used, and vast resources flowed into Central State from all over. Even the dry Yudai River was re-dug to transport supplies by ship.

After half a year, a brand new city was rebuilt on the ruins, with the word "Taiwu" engraved on the gates in all four directions.

The once Central Capital no longer exists, this newly built city is named Taiwu. It is the abode of the Immortal and the domain of the Taiwu Celestial Dynasty.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. The battles that once took place on this land had long been buried by time and human traces, no longer could one see the ruins and desolation of the past.

Pavilions and palaces rose from the ground, numerous gardens and landscapes were built. The entire Taiwu City, centered on the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, was divided into four major areas by two main streets, with countless buildings standing, bustling commerce, and prosperous people, even faintly surpassing the Central Capital of those days.

As the harsh winter passed, the sound of firecrackers rang out.

The Empress formally issued an edict, bringing the Thirteen States of the World back to unity. The people, prominent families, and heroes found peace of mind. Responding to the hearts of the people of the world, the Taiwu Celestial Dynasty was established, changing the era name to Taiwu, marking the first year of Taiwu from today.

In the first year of Taiwu, the Empress issued multiple edicts, reducing taxes, quelling bandits in all directions, managing natural and man-made disasters, and aiding the people. The hearts of the people turned toward unity, portraying a scene of prosperity from the local to the court.

Time passed slowly, the Immortal suppressed the court, the central held an absolute advantage, and the local could only yield. The world sank into a rare peace and development, with the people living wealthy and serene lives.

The Taiwu Immortal Dynasty gradually entered into unprecedented prosperity.

Ten Thousand Forms Massacre

"Tiange, just come out and surrender!" Chu Zhihe, dressed in plain white garments, her slender waist tightly cinched by a belt, outlined her full and beautiful figure.

"Her Majesty has now unified the world, suppressed the four directions, and today the world is at peace. I have never seen such a thriving era."

"Her Majesty is destined by heaven, a True Immortal descending to the world. She is willing to employ you, which is your blessing."

"In the past, mother always wanted you to become the Sect Leader of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, but now that so many things have happened, mother has opened her mind. Now, I only hope you can be safe and sound, which is the greatest fortune."

"If you continue to oppose Her Majesty, there will be no good end. Mother doesn’t want to see the day again... where you walk ahead of me..."

At the end, her voice choked a little.

Deep inside the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, Chu Tiange sat cross-legged, merging his own Divine Soul with numerous fortunes as one. Once Yi Hongchen forcibly tried to capture him, the fortunes would immediately collapse, erasing his several hundred years of accumulated fortunes.

This was his means of self-preservation.

Listening to his mother’s pleas outside, he also felt somewhat anxious, "Mother, things aren’t as simple as you think. The reason I’m still alive today is because I’m hiding here."

"If I go out, without the protection of the Qianyuan Golden Tripod and the fortunes, that person would definitely kill me, using me as a refining treasure like those two True Dragons."

"It’s not that I don’t want to go out, it’s that I simply can’t, I dare not go out!"

"No, it won’t happen!" Chu Zhihe said anxiously, "Her Majesty has already promised me, as long as you can come out from the tripod, she will forgive all the past, as long as you are loyal to her, she will grant you high positions and great wealth, never wronging you."

"Mother, do you believe such words? She merely wants to deceive me out, and once I go out, my death is certain."

Chu Tiange was also helpless, mumbling in his heart, "Aren’t transmigrators supposed to be invincible? How did I end up a prisoner?"

"Clearly, with that fishing rod, claiming it could fish the Long River of Heavens and seize past opportunities, now it seems not so great."

"So far, it has only fished out opportunities for one person, Chu Xiangtian, and these opportunities have almost been fully digested."

"If I can’t obtain other opportunities, escaping from Yi Hongchen’s watchful eyes may prove difficult."

"Moreover, my mother is too naive to believe Yi Hongchen’s words..."

He sighed slightly, his gaze fixed on the golden liquid in the tripod, "I never thought before that using fortunes as bait could actually enhance the power of my golden finger fishing rod, allowing it to fish out more treasures."

"Although I’m presently trapped in this Qianyuan Golden Tripod, with so many fortunes, it’s like a mouse falling into a rice bin, given enough time, I will certainly fish out greater opportunities."

Though Chu Tiange was trapped here, he did not feel fear. Instead, he regarded this place as his great opportunity, using fortunes as bait daily, fishing the abyss, his power and foundation growing deeper.

Rumble!

As he was fishing, he suddenly noticed the entire abyss beginning to thunderously rumble and shake violently, the fishing rod in his hand trembling intensely, as if it might pull him down.

"Wow, it seems like I’ve hooked a big one this time!"

Chu Tiange’s eyes shone brightly, madly pushing his own mana to fish for opportunities in the abyss with the fishing rod.

Gradually, at the bottom of the abyss, a flash of five-colored radiant light appeared.

Within just a few breaths, blue, yellow, black, white, and red five-colored beams shot straight into the sky, flooding his entire sea of consciousness.

"Divine Technique, Five-Colored Divine Light?"
