So it is

A thunderous sound erupted from Wu Tian's mouth.

At this moment, he emanated a golden radiance.

An immense aura burst forth from his body, shooting straight into the heavens.

"Hahaha."

"Cloud Top Empire, did you not expect this? I, Wu Tian, cannot die."

"And not only can I not die, but you all have helped me unlock my hidden constitution, the Undying Body."

"Possessing this constitution means that every time I die, I can be reborn, and each rebirth will cause my power to increase tenfold!"

"Hahahahaha..."

His arrogant laughter resounded through the skies.

Meanwhile, the people of the Wu Tian Empire who were holding a memorial service witnessed Wu Tian soaring into the heavens, and they immediately fell to their knees, eyes wide open.

"Wu Tian the sovereign has feigned death!"

"Silence, the sovereign has been revived."

"Yes, yes, judging from the sovereign's shout, he has clearly been revived, and even gained a blessing from this misfortune!"

"Heaven has blessed the Wu Tian Empire."

"We bow before Wu Tian the sovereign!"

"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live for eternity..."

Tens of thousands of people knelt in the imperial mausoleum, tears of joy streaming down their faces, their bodies trembling with excitement as they cried out passionately towards Wu Tian in the sky.

"Hahaha."

"Rise, my subjects."

Wu Tian descended from the heavens, waving his hand to gently lift the tens of thousands of people with a gentle force.

"Immediately summon the finest craftsmen to sculpt a statue of my Grandmaster, using gold and stone as materials, at a scale of ten thousand times his original size."

"Once I have conquered the Cloud Top Empire, I shall place this statue in the imperial city of the Cloud Top Empire, for billions of people to revere!"

After landing, Wu Tian immediately issued his first command.

"Huh?"

"A sculpture made of gold and stone, at ten thousand times the size?"

Upon hearing this, the people were utterly astonished.

A high-ranking court official couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Your Majesty, that Grandmaster of yours abandoned you in your moment of crisis, nearly causing you to be lost forever. Why would you honor such a contemptible person?"

"Silence!" The official's voice had barely fallen when Wu Tian slapped him to the ground, his face contorted with rage as he roared, "How dare you question my Grandmaster and speak ill of him? You're courting death."

"Guards, throw him into the Wu Tian's secret prison and await his punishment!"

As Wu Tian's words fell, the others fell deathly silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Hmph!"

"I know the rest of you are also puzzled, so let me tell you the truth – this was all arranged by my Grandmaster!" Wu Tian declared solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the people were utterly bewildered.

Clearly, Wu Tian's so-called Grandmaster had abandoned him in his moment of crisis, so how could this have been an intentional arrangement?

"Hmph, ignorant fools!"

"Let me explain more clearly – my Grandmaster must have known about my Undying Body constitution."

"That's why he staged this entire drama."

As he spoke, Wu Tian gazed towards the heavens with an expression of reverence and awe.

"Looking back, my Grandmaster had hinted to me from the very beginning to fight the Cloud Top Empire to the bitter end. Then, he suddenly left me in the preceding period, clearly intending to create a near-death situation for me, allowing my Undying Body to awaken."

"If not for my Grandmaster's meticulous planning, how could I have faced such a life-or-death predicament, triggering the awakening of this constitution so swiftly?"

"My Grandmaster's foresight is truly profound and heartfelt!"

Upon hearing Wu Tian's explanation, the people present were suddenly enlightened.

After all, who in their right mind would willingly place themselves in a situation of impending death?

And in the absence of knowledge about his Undying Body, Wu Tian would never have risked his life either.

So that elder must have designed this entire scheme!

"I see, I see now."

"That elder is a person of godly intelligence!"

"With meticulous planning and foresight into the heavens' machinations."

"Such a mighty figure is truly the blessed star of the Wu Tian Empire, nay, of the entire world!"

"In retrospect, we were wrong to blame that elder."

"Yes, yes indeed!"

The newly enlightened people voiced their admiration, shaking their heads regretfully.

Because when Wu Tian had died earlier, almost everyone harbored resentment towards the man named Yi Feng.

"Indeed!"

"When I first learned that my Grandmaster had abandoned me, how could I not have blamed him as well?"

Hearing the people's words, Wu Tian also lowered his head remorsefully, repeatedly slapping his own face with great force.

"I, Wu Tian, am a contemptible sinner."

"My Grandmaster's kindness towards me is as vast as a mountain, yet I had such thoughts about him. I am less than human."

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I truly deserve to die!"

"So tell me, how could erecting a statue repay my Grandmaster's immense grace?" Wu Tian asked, his eyes brimming with tears.

"It should be erected!"

"Yes, yes, it should indeed be erected."

"You speak true – I believe we should not only erect this one statue, but place a statue of the elder in every city within the Wu Tian Empire."

"Correct, and we should also include the elder in the educational texts for the descendants of the Wu Tian Empire, so that his name may be passed down through the ages, allowing every future generation to know that there was once such an elder who bestowed great kindness and virtue upon our empire!"

The people knelt on the ground, their expressions sincere as they voiced their opinions.

"Excellent!"

Wu Tian revealed a gratified smile and shouted loudly, "Then let it be as you have said – every city in the Wu Tian Empire shall erect a statue of my Grandmaster!"

"Of course."

"As for the statues, I must not forget my Grandmaster's previous directive."

"I can only face him again after achieving great feats."

"So heed my command, people of the Wu Tian Empire – let every citizen take up arms, and we shall attack the Cloud Top Empire once more!"
