—------------------—
Dugu Bo lamented the impermanence of life. If Xue Ye knew about this, he would probably not be able to hold him down even under the coffin and would jump out of the imperial mausoleum in anger.
Having said that, the Spirit Hall is really bold. At first, he was wondering why Jiang Wanyu wrote the word "ambition".
Is it too ostentatious to express one's feelings in this way? Now it seems that there is also a sense of irony and criticism in it!
But is there no one in the Spirit Hall? Why would they let a woman take on such an important and dangerous mission?
However, after hearing Jiang Wanyu's address, he immediately felt relieved.
"Brother Xue... no, Miss Qian Renxue, it looks like I'm the winner."
When he said her name, he slowed down his voice and his words were full of joking.
Dugu Bo thought to himself, now everything makes sense.
Qian Renxue lowered her head, stretched out her hands, and clenched them in front of her eyes.
It's that simple, you can remove her armor?
Without Xue Qinghe as her political armor, she would no longer be able to maintain her identity.
"Indeed, I lost."
She nodded in acknowledgment and continued, "Next, tell me who you want to support, and I will pass on the throne."
"As for whether the people recognize it or not, that's not something I can control."
Qian Renxue seemed a little unconvinced and threw a difficult question to Jiang Wanyu.
"Don't worry about that. I have a solution."
Jiang Wanyu smiled mysteriously. As a person who thinks three steps ahead, how could he possibly hand over all the beneficial policies?
Now is the right time to propose this to the new emperor in the name of the academy and help him consolidate his political position.
"Humph! Jiang Wanyu, I will definitely beat you!"
There was some emotion and tone in Qian Renxue's words, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment on her beautiful face as she looked straight at Jiang Wanyu.
Jiang Wanyu smiled without saying anything, but he always felt that he was being stared at by the woman in front of him.
"Well, since you've already sent me your invitation, there's no reason for me not to prepare the necessary banquet."
"Thank you for the hospitality."
Qian Renxue once again regained his appearance as Xue Qinghe. At this moment, he was still the Emperor Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire.
However, this character is about to leave the stage, and the countdown of "Xue Qinghe's" life has begun.
…
Night, Wuhun City.
Inside the offering hall, lights are lit to illuminate the hall.
Qian Daoliu was sitting upright under the holy angel statue. He looked up at the statue of the god he believed in, then lowered his head and sighed worriedly.
He was now under the angel god, but his heart was filled with guilt, because his god seemed to have been replaced.
He began to think about what he had done wrong that allowed the faith of the Angel God to fall into such a state.
Because Xingluo and Tiandou had their faith in the Angel God squeezed out by the people of the Nature Academy.
He really didn't understand why the young man who was originally favored by the gods would choose such a path: collecting faiths and becoming a god!
But facing this situation, he was helpless. He couldn't just get rid of Jiang Wanyu for this, right?
He couldn't do that, and he wouldn't allow himself to do that.
All the variables were caused by the information he received before. The Killing City was destroyed and there was nowhere to imprison the fallen soul masters. It was Jiang Wanyu who commanded the Natural Academy to stand up and set an example to take responsibility.
Although this represents the nature of the Natural Academy and has entered the entire continent, it is undoubtedly beneficial to the entire continent. It is also in line with the code of the Angel God, and he has no intention of forcibly standing out to steal the limelight.
Not to mention the establishment of the City of Sin some time ago, which perfectly replaced the City of Killing and even did better!
The soul masters who experienced the Fallen Soul Master Cholera not only began to unite to fight, but also made the entire continent more stable and the pressure on the Spirit Hall was much less.
Moreover, the location of the City of Sin effectively reduced the war between the two empires.
Then there was the statue that Jiang Wanyu promoted everywhere, or the main arrow, which did play a protective role and solved the problem of the soul master who would bring catastrophic disaster to the local area.
As well as the bet between Qian Renxue and Jiang Wanyu, he had even less reason to take action.
It seemed as if he had been put in a passive position from the very beginning. The opponent seemed to know him very well and had calculated every step so that he would not take action.
"This boy is so terrifying!"
Qian Daoliu sighed, perhaps, a genius like this could really achieve that.
In that case, Xiaoxue seems to be at a disadvantage.
"Huh?"
At this time, he uttered a light exclamation, stood up and walked to the door of the hall.
In the darkness, a butterfly covered in golden light flew over.
Qian Daoliu raised his right hand and let it fall steadily into his palm.
The butterfly turned into golden light, leaving behind a golden bead, and the golden light turned into eight big words in the air: Key, Soon, Go Home, Divine Test.
"Xiaoxue, have you figured it out? Are you finally ready to come back?"
What Qian Daoliu cared about first was not the key that could save his life, but the news that Xiaoxue had returned home.
His Xiaoxue is finally going home. She has suffered so much grievance because of that woman's plan. What has she done wrong?
She just wanted to get the woman's attention, but when he thought about the latter's focus on the so-called saint, he sighed deeply.
But he had no right to blame that woman. It was the Qian family who let her down.
"However, the Spirit Hall belongs to the Qian family after all, and not just any saint girl can inherit it."
"After so many years, when Xiaoxue returns and begins the Divine Test, it will be time for me to inherit the position of Pope."
"It's never Xiaoxue who owes you anything!"
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but become serious. He couldn't give in on this point. This was an unchangeable fact, and no one was allowed to change it.
"I hope you understand that the position of Pope is compensation for you, but it is only compensation, not the right to occupy it."
At the end of his words, Qian Daoliu stared sharply at the Spirit Hall below, muttering to himself, his aura fluctuating.
If she refused, then as the heir of a god, he was still confident that he could defeat her.
His title of Qian Daoliu, The Invincible in Sky was not given by others, but earned by him!
"Forget it. I originally thought my mission was just to start the assessment, but now it seems I can protect Xiaoxue for a while longer."
"Then let me help Xiaoxue sweep away the enemies that stand in her way!"
Finally, Qian Daoliu's decision spread far and wide as the night wore on.
At this moment, the God of Light's most steadfast supporter chose to protect his granddaughter in the darkness of night...
Shortly after Jiang Wanyu left the Tiandou Palace, another shocking message came from Tiandou.
Xue Qinghe suddenly fell ill and died in his bedroom one morning.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a huge uproar, and officials inside and outside the court began to speculate what was going on.
What's more, when this news came out and spread to the other five principalities and kingdoms, they began to make moves.
They used to be a country that only obeyed orders and not announcements, and almost became an independent country outside the Tiandou Empire, only needing to pay tribute to the empire. Now that they have such a good opportunity, how could they not be tempted?
So they stopped paying tribute immediately and started recruiting men and horses, waiting for the right time to fight for the throne.
As for why they dared to do so, one reason was that they had their own troops and the courage that came from being a country within a country.
There was also the story of Xue Beng being imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum for reflection because of the dude, and later news came out that he had gone to follow Emperor Xue Ye.
As for Emperor Xue Ye's younger brother, Prince Xue Xing, he also died of depression shortly after Xue Beng's death.
Now that the biggest threat to the throne is gone, can they let this opportunity go?
In particular, King Kundla of the Barak Kingdom is the cousin of the former Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire.
This shows that Kundera and Emperor Xue Ye are cousins, and they have the qualifications and status to compete!
And it's not just him. The rulers of other kingdoms and principalities are all close relatives of the Tiandou royal family, or at least have a close relationship with them.
But just when the storm was about to break out, several imperial edicts from the previous emperor came out from the palace, and the contents were exactly the same.
This edict immediately deprived them of all their strength and means. It was not that a edict had such great power, but the forces involved in its content had such great power!
According to the most important content in the will, it is to ask Jiang Wanyu, the dean of the College of Natural Sciences, to choose a king for the country!
When this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
There is no precedent for this kind of thing. The king of a country actually appointed an outsider. Some old ministers in the court reacted most strongly and refused to agree no matter what.
Some conservatives also disagreed because the will was obviously unreasonable.
In particular, some of the words did not sound like Xue Qinghe's words, which made some quick-witted people discover clues.
In fact, this is Qian Renxue's little trick. She wants to take revenge on Jiang Wanyu here. Doesn't she want her to hand over the throne? Okay, go get it yourself. Anyway, I did what you said. I wasn't asked to say anything.
But even so, when Jiang Wanyu saw the content, he just laughed it off.
"I asked you to write your own content because I thought your words would be more authentic and convincing. I didn't expect you to set me a trick."
In the dean's office of the Nature Academy, the paper he was holding in his hand completely recorded the last will and testament left by Xue Qinghe.
However, he just sneered and put it aside, then picked up a list of people related to the Tiandou royal family.
From Kundera, the ruler of a country, to the exiled and lost royal bloodline, all are included.
What people underestimate the most is not their own strength but the energy of the entire Nature Academy.
They would realize why the Nature Academy was named Nature. It wasn't just because of the merger of many academies, but they would also realize that the power of nature was terrifying...
