A piercing thunder roared across the sky. A katana-like sword descended slowly from the heavens, floating gently into Liu Guan Yi's hand. The moment he grasped it, the world fell into silence.
No one could comprehend what they were witnessing. Yet deep down, every person present felt it—this moment would be etched into history.
Only one man recognized the sword. The emperor's eyes narrowed. "The Ancient Longevity Sword…" His lips curled into a rare, unreadable smile. "In the past, the one it chose shattered heaven. And now... it has chosen my son."
Then, a beam of light sliced through the clouds. A woman floated down like a celestial being—ethereal robes fluttering, her face a flawless work of divinity. The entire crowd turned breathless.
Sword Sect Leader, Ji Ning.
Her gaze landed on Liu Guan Yi, and her heart stirred. "So… the prophecy was true. The one chosen by the sword shall become the sect's true leader."
Without hesitation, she stepped forward and asked, "Will you become my personal disciple?"
Liu Guan Yi looked into her eyes. No arrogance. No excitement. Just quiet determination. "Alright."
A storm had begun to gather, and the world watched.
The emperor stood, his voice carrying over the silent crowd: "From today onward, Liu Guan Yi shall be crown prince of the Great Yan Dynasty!"
The announcement struck like lightning. Even his own mother was stunned speechless.
Elsewhere, Bai Si's father, seeking to curry favor with the future emperor, whispered to his daughter: "Break your engagement with Liu Bing. Befriend Liu Guan Yi—no, do whatever it takes."
Meanwhile, Liu Bing clenched his fists, his heart churning with silent despair.
As the ceremony ended, Liu Guan Yi followed Ji Ning toward the main peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Unbeknownst to him, this was merely the beginning.
For in the emperor's eyes, this was not about love or duty.
It was about a wager with the heavens.
And Liu Guan Yi was the ultimate bet.
