Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Empire.
Like a hurricane, it swept across every city, every sect, every marketplace, and every village.
The entire empire was thrown into an uproar.
"What?!"
"The one ascending the throne isn't Prince Yu Zidi?"
"It's the Ninth Princess?!"
Countless people were stunned.
For months, public opinion had overwhelmingly favored Yu Zidi.
Whether because of his carefully cultivated reputation or deliberate propaganda, many commoners genuinely believed he was the ideal Emperor.
The sudden announcement that Yu Feiyan had become the victor left countless people unable to believe it.
Some immediately frowned.
"Did the Ninth Princess rebel?"
"Did she seize the throne by force?"
"Could the Imperial Palace have suffered a coup?"
For a brief moment, rumors spread everywhere.
Many who had supported Yu Zidi immediately denounced Yu Feiyan as a traitor.
However, before long, more news about what had happened began spreading.
