Realm of Void:the banished prince

Lady Jing's anguished cry echoed through the palace, "No! You cannot do this to your own brother, Shu Yan! He shares your blood, your face! Have you no compassion?" Her voice cracked with tears as she pleaded with Shu Yan.

Shu Yan's expression twisted in rage, and he grasped Lady Jing's neck, choking her. The assembly gasped in horror, and Shu Shu, witnessing this, struggled to rise, attempting to brush past Shu Yan. However, a guard pinned him to the ground, restraining him roughly.

Shu Shu's voice rang out, filled with pain and desperation, "You have lost all reason, Shu Yan! You believe the heavenly symbol and the lotus bracelet make you a god? You are consumed by madness!" Shu Shu's struggles intensified, but more guards arrived, pinning him down with greater force.

Shu Yan's grip on Lady Jing's neck tightened, her gasps for air growing weaker. "I am a god, Shu Shu!" he declared, his voice dripping with malevolence. "I am special, and I will not permit a barren woman to support you!"

An elderly eunuch stepped forward, his voice trembling with urgency, "Shu Yan, stop! You have gone too far!"

Shu Yan's gaze snapped toward the eunuch, his eyes blazing with bloodlust. In an instant, the eunuch's head burst open, his brain and blood splattering everywhere. The assembly recoiled in terror, their screams and gasps filling the air.

Shu Yan flung Lady Jing aside, her body crashing against the wall before slumping to the ground. Blood dripped from her mouth as she struggled to breathe. Princess Yue rushed to her side, but Lady Hua restrained her, holding her back.

Tears streamed down Shu Shu's face as he beheld Lady Jing's weakened state, feeling powerless and useless as he watched her suffer in his presence.

Shu Yan turned to face the villagers, his eyes aglow with malevolence. Dark magic swirled around him, his long hair dancing in the air as his robe fluttered. He rose into the air, a wicked grin spreading across his face.

"From this day forward, I am the new emperor!" Shu Yan's voice boomed, echoing off the palace walls. "I shall rule this dynasty as I see fit! No one will dare speak Shu Shu's name in my presence! Whoever supports him shall face death!"

As Shu Yan's declaration hung in the air, a massive dark portal materialized, its smoky tendrils spreading across the sky like a malignant stain. The wind howled, and the air grew thick with an eerie, unnatural energy.

Shu Yan's laughter echoed through the land, a chilling, mirthless sound. "HAHAHHAHAHA!!! I am a god!!!!"

Shu Shu's voice rang out, filled with defiance and determination. "I swear on my blood, Shu Yan, you will pay!"

Shu Yan's response was a mocking sneer. "You're nothing!!" With a flick of his wrist, he summoned a dark, ethereal force that hurled Shu Shu into the portal with incredible force.

Lady Jing's anguished cry pierced the air. "Nooooo!!!! Shu Shu!!"

Shu Yan's voice dripped with malice as he bid his brother farewell. "Goodbye, brother... forever!!!"

The portal slammed shut, sealing Shu Shu's fate and plunging the kingdom into an era of darkness and terror.
