Chapter 164: The Passing of Crowns and Titles

After over two centuries of prosperous reign, Sung Ye-Jun, the first son of Sung Su-Ho, made a monumental decision. Having led the Sung Dynasty with strength and wisdom, he chose to step down from the throne. The weight of leadership had taken its toll, and with a heart full of gratitude for the generations that had flourished under his reign, he made the transition of power to the next generation.

Sung Ye-Jun, along with his spouse, relocated to the Eternis Draconis, the grand castle of Sung Su-Ho, nestled in the heart of the Absolute Realm. There, they embraced a quieter, more contemplative life, surrounded by the grandeur of Sung Su-Ho's realm. The towering citadels and endless landscapes of Eternis Draconis were the perfect setting for the former king to enjoy the fruits of his labor, far from the pressures of royal duty.

In his absence, the leadership of the Sung Dynasty passed to his firstborn, Sung Ha-Young, the rightful heir to the throne. Sung Ha-Young had been groomed for this moment from birth, prepared to continue the legacy of strength, wisdom, and unity that Sung Ye-Jun had established. With the passing of the crown, Sung Ha-Young's rule began, ushering in a new era for the Dynasty.

At the same time, Sung Ye-Rin, the second child of Sung Su-Ho, also made a decision to step away from her royal duties. As the Princess Royal, she had served with grace and dignity, but now it was time for a new chapter in her life. She and her husband chose to move to Umbra Citadel, the towering fortress of Sung Jin-Woo, where they would reside as part of the divine household.

In Umbra Citadel, surrounded by the presence of Sung Jin-Woo's divine influence, Sung Ye-Rin would continue to serve as a guardian of the Shadow Realm. The Citadel, the heart of Sung Jin-Woo's dominion, was a place where Sung Ye-Rin could remain connected to her family's divine power, while also taking on a new role as a protector of the realm.

As Sung Ye-Rin stepped away from her position as the Princess Royal, the title was passed down to her daughter, Sung Ri-Hye. Sung Ri-Hye, though young, exhibited exceptional strength and leadership qualities, earning the trust and respect of those who had followed her mother. With this new responsibility, Sung Ri-Hye began her own path as the Princess Royal, promising to uphold the honor and dignity of the Sung Dynasty while forging her own legacy.

Meanwhile, Sung Ye-Rin and her husband's move to Umbra Citadel marked a new chapter in their life, aligning them even closer to the God of Shadows and Life, Sung Jin-Woo, and the power of the Shadowverse. Their residence in Umbra Citadel would serve as a strategic alliance, further cementing the bond between the Divine Triad and the Sung Dynasty.

Though Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin had stepped away from their official titles, their influence over the Sung Dynasty and the multiverse would not wane. The legacy of the Divine Triad — especially Sung Jin-Woo's and Sung Su-Ho's power — continued to shape the world in profound ways. The new rulers, Sung Ha-Young and Sung Ri-Hye, were destined to carry forward the ideals and strength of their forebears, ensuring the Sung Dynasty would continue to flourish under the protection of the Divine Triad.

The transition of power was not a severing of ties, but rather a reshaping of roles. Each member of the Sung Dynasty, whether in the Absolute Realm or the Shadowverse, understood that they were all part of something greater, united by their divine lineage, their boundless power, and their unwavering devotion to the Divine Triad.
