Chapter 429 Resurrection from the Dead (Please subscribe, please vote)
The sky suddenly dimmed, the sun was completely blocked by thick dark clouds, and the palace suddenly fell into darkness.
The gathering dark clouds seemed to swallow up the entire sky, bringing great depression and heaviness to people.
The originally bright afternoon felt like night had fallen early, with only weak light penetrating the thick clouds, casting mottled light and shadow.
The people in the palace were shocked by this sudden change. They all looked up at the strange sky, their faces full of horror and confusion.
At this moment, an illusory passage suddenly opened above the palace, like a gap in which reality was torn apart, which intensified people's panic.
Su Xiao noticed with sharp eyes that Hal Adam's fingers seemed to move slightly.
Immediately afterwards, an incredible scene happened - Hal Adam actually sat up from the coffin, as if he was pretending to be a corpse!
"This! This! This"
Prince Longte was frightened by Hal Adam's body that suddenly sat up.
He, the Seventeenth Prince and the Crown Prince personally inspected the body of Hal Adam, and the three of them unanimously confirmed that the emperor was completely dead and there was no possibility of resurrection.
Although there are drugs in the Dragon Empire that can cause a state of suspended animation, those drugs can only simulate the state of death, and the body's temperature and other vital signs will not change.
But at that time, Hal Adam's body was as cold as ice, without any heartbeat or breathing.
Watching Hal Adam step out of the coffin, Prince Longte couldn't help but feel horrified.
"This sleep was so restless."
Hal Adam yawned. After the power of death came and merged into Hal Adam's body, wonderful changes began to occur in his body.
However, Hal Adam still looks like he is eighty years old, and his wrinkles and old skin have not changed at all.
But changes have indeed taken place inside his body. His back, which was once bent due to old age, is now as straight and straight as a pine tree, full of strength.
Although his eyes were still deep, they shone brightly, revealing a look that was different from ordinary people.
Hal Adam at this moment is like a combination of contradictions.
He is both an old man and a young man full of energy.
His body embodies the aging and rebirth of life at the same time. This wonderful fusion makes him a unique existence.
"Your Majesty, welcome back."
Old Yunlong smiled and saluted Hal Adam. After Old Yunlong reminded him, the officials and guards followed closely and quickly saluted Hal Adam to express their respect.
Hal Adam's resurrection from the dead caused a huge shock in the hearts of everyone, and the forces under Prince Longte were shaken by this.
Many officials and generals who were originally loyal to the prince chose to rebel at this time and returned to the old emperor.
They clearly realized that compared with the old emperor, there was still a significant gap in the power and influence of Prince Longte.
The old emperor has sat firmly on the throne for more than sixty years. Under his rule, the empire is as solid as a rock, which is enough to demonstrate Hal Adam's extraordinary political skills and leadership.
While he was alive, despite some corruption in the Dragon Empire, no rebel force dared to openly challenge his authority.
In contrast, although Prince Longte also had certain political ambitions and military talents, he was still difficult to compare with the old emperor in the minds of many officials. The awe and trust that the officials had in the old emperor was difficult for Prince Longte to establish in a short period of time.
This trust and awe stem from Hal Adam's stable rule over the years.
Therefore, after the news of Hal Adam's resurrection from the dead spread quickly, many officials chose to return to the old emperor's camp.
They know very well that in this moment of changing political situation, only by closely following the footsteps of the old emperor can they ensure their future and destiny.
"Very good! Very good! This time, I lost, brother."
At this moment, Prince Long Te's face returned to calmness, without showing any panic expression.
He knew very well the principle of success and failure. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he had been more decisive and destroyed Hal Adam's body directly, maybe there would be no situation today.
Hal Adam looked at Prince Long Te, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that Xiao Qi and that fool have been dealt with by you."
He spoke slowly, his tone revealing his precise grasp of the situation.
The moment Hal Adam saw Prince Longte appear in the palace, he already had a clear guess about the current situation.
Hal Adam slowly walked up to Prince Long Te. Their eyes met in the air, and the silence was full of tension and confrontation.
The surrounding officials and servants kept their distance in a tacit understanding. They lowered their heads to avoid looking directly at these two powerful figures.
At this moment, a trace of sadness flashed across Prince Longte's face, as if he was remembering the past and feeling helpless towards his fate.
His throat moved slightly, and then, a trace of black blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth, which looked particularly dazzling.
"In the end, I won the round." Prince Longte's voice was weak but firm, and a bitter yet satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Hal Adam looked at the body of Prince Longte without any emotion on his face.
In the struggle for power, he has long been accustomed to such partings of life and death. Family, love and friendship seem so insignificant under the temptation of power.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then signaled the attendants to carefully carry the body of Prince Long Te into the coffin originally prepared for himself.
This change did not seem to have much impact on Hal Adam, as if everything was within his expectations.
When the officials were allowed to enter to pay their respects, they were surprised to find that the person lying in the coffin was Prince Longt, and the old emperor Hal Adam had returned to his throne and resumed his rule.
Hal Adam was only accompanied by Old Yunlong, Lin Yi and Su Xiao.
After experiencing this series of thrilling events, Hal Adam's eyes showed a trace of exhaustion that was difficult to conceal.
He sighed softly, indicating that he needed to rest for a while.
After witnessing the miracle of Hal Adam's resurrection from the dead, the attendants were full of awe in every move he made. They carefully held up Hal Adam's robe and respectfully sent him to the apse to rest.
After entering the study, Hal Adam leaned on the comfortable chair, looking slightly relaxed.
