Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 168 Ruins

The next day, shocking news spread throughout the Sun Kingdom.

The previous Sixth Prince and the current Sun King, publicly admitted that he was not qualified to sit on the throne and decided to abdicate, claiming that the Saint of the Holy Religion was the only person capable of making the Sun Kingdom even more prosperous.

This news quickly spread throughout the kingdom, reaching the ears of every citizen, whether they were nobles, practitioners, or mortals.

In response to this news, the reaction of the citizens varied.

Some people, mostly the believers of the Holy Religion, praised the Sun King for his self-awareness and begged the Saint to ascend to the throne, lead them, and spread the faith of the Lord throughout this land.

Some other people, mostly the nobles, cursed the Sun King and the Saint, saying that they had betrayed the Sun Kingdom and submitted to the extraterrestrial demons, and calling for the people to rebel to overthrow them.

Unfortunately for the nobles, the majority of the people didn't answer their call.

For most people, it didn't matter who sat on the throne and ruled the kingdom, as long as their lives remained the same.

For the time being, these people remained silent, waiting to see the Saint's attitude.

In the end, despite the unwillingness of the nobles, a week later, the Saint ascended to the throne of the Sun Kingdom and became the first Queen in the recorded history of the Inheritance World.

In the streets, many bards could be met who praised her loudly, while various stories with her as the protagonist spread throughout the kingdom.

Soon, the new Queen won the admiration of most of her subjects and became the object of worship for millions of people.

However, no one knew that at this time, their new Queen had left the imperial palace and even the vicinity of the kingdom's capital.

On top of the highest mountain of this world, Chu Wuyao stood silently with her hands behind her back, staring expressionlessly at the blue sky.

She could feel that an invisible energy was gathering above her and rushing toward the purple crown she was wearing, but she didn't show any reaction.

She knew that this was luck.

But the true appearance of this world was completely different from what it seemed like from the outside.

Many ruined buildings could be seen everywhere in this land, while broken weapons were all over the place.

Hundreds of thousands of corpses had been thrown on the ground like trash, and blood flowed out of their wounds, creating many small pools of blood around them.

These corpses wore thick metal armor and held cold weapons in their hands, and despite having been dead for so long, they still exuded a powerful aura and had yet to decompose.

The ruined buildings, the broken weapons, and the corpses stood in this place as if they were evidence of a long-forgotten war.

Chu Wuyao only took a brief glance at this scene, before she turned to the left and walked forward, stepping over the corpses that lay near her feet.

The direction she chose seemed to be random, but in fact, she could feel a sense of calling coming from that direction, as if someone or something was summoning her.

She didn't choose to fly in the air, but walked slowly, taking one step at a time.

Despite this, her speed was quite fast and she was able to cover many kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The buildings and corpses around her seemed endless, but Chu Wuyao keenly discovered that the style of the buildings and the armor on the corpses had changed, looking like they belonged to a different era.

Seeing this, she became even more sure of her guess.

Time quickly went by and even Chu Wuyao lost sense of the time, not knowing for how long she had walked.

It could have been minutes, or it could have been hours, but finally, Chu Wuyao arrived at her destination, the place where the sense of summoning came from.

There were no longer buildings and corpses around her, and only a slightly raised platform could be seen in the distance.

The platform wasn't very big, only a few meters in width and length, and there was only one thing on top of it.

It was a statue, a statue that Chu Wuyao was quite familiar with and had seen many times before.

It was the statue of the Creation God.
