Chapter 1700: God-Conferred Lord (1)
After returning to the imperial palace for three years, he had resolved all the difficulties step by step. Now, he had finally reached his peak, becoming the Pure Sun Empire’s Saint Emperor.
However, he knew that becoming a divine emperor meant taking on the responsibility of the empire and becoming a real man.
A real man had to be responsible. Now that he had become a divine emperor, he had to bear even more.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
When Li Zhengyang appeared, all the citizens and experts bowed to him.
For a time, the sound of the square resounded through the world.
Hearing all the cheers, the smile on Li Zhengyang’s face grew even wider. However, when he thought about facing all the princes, ministers, and core forces of the empire, he felt a little afraid.
After all, more than half of these factions opposed him becoming a Saint Emperor.
He took a deep breath and calmed his restless heart. He walked towards the Divine Yang Hall step by step. Every step he took felt extremely heavy. His gaze was calm, but his heart was a little depressed.
He didn’t expect to have such a feeling at his peak. However, what should come would come. He had to go through this step sooner or later.
Very soon, Li Zhengyang arrived in front of the Divine Yang Hall. Along the way, he passed by countless super figures. Although he usually interacted with many super figures, he felt uneasy when facing everyone.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
All the officials and representatives of the royal family stood up and bowed to Li Zhengyang.
However, not only did most of the representatives of the royal family and the officials not show any respect, but there was also a hint of disdain in their eyes. There was a faint smile on their faces. The smile was strange and unpredictable.
" Crown Prince, Li Zhengyang is a dragon among men. He possesses a pure Yang body and has the Pure Yang Imperial Bloodline. "
" I have decided to pass on the throne to Li Zhengyang. Now, all the princes of the royal family and the meritorious service of the empire shall bear witness to this. "
Li Longtian stood up and looked at all the representatives of the Royal Family and the families, as well as the important figures of the Empire. Then, he shifted his gaze to Li Zhengyang.
Then, he said loudly. His voice was extremely loud, but there was an old aura in his loud voice, giving people a feeling of old age.
With a smile on his face, he waited for the succession ceremony to begin.
However, before the succession ceremony began, someone stood out to make things difficult for them.
"Lord Saint Emperor, the crown prince is still young and needs more training. It’s not suitable for him to take over the empire."
The person who spoke was the Saint Emperor’s brother, Tian Lin king.
Li Longtian had a total of five brothers and quite a few cousins. Although the Empire’s Saint Emperor was supreme, the Empire had the Imperial Clan Court, which was the center of power in the Pure Sun Empire.
It was also the support of the Pure Sun Empire’s imperial power. To put it bluntly, it was the true power of the Li Family. The Pure Sun Empire was the Li Family’s world.
The Li family had the Elder Committee, which could influence the emperor’s power. When the emperor was chosen, the Elder Committee was also qualified to supervise.
Naturally, if there were other royal families who were not convinced, they would not be able to become a Saint Emperor.
When a Saint Emperor had a few princes, the royal family would usually support one prince. This way, if the prince became a Saint Emperor in the future, his status would rise.
If the emperor didn’t have a prince, the royal power would be replaced by another royal family.
Li Longtian only had one son, Li Zhengyang. Li Zhengyang’s disappearance had given hope to countless royal families. The Crown Prince had disappeared, and the royal palace was in chaos.
However, no one expected that the Crown Prince, Li Zhengyang, who had disappeared for more than ten years, would appear.
Moreover, he had appeared together with Lord Pure Yang. Lord Pure Yang had a very high status in the Pure Yang Empire because he was guarding the Pure Yang Palace, the Holy Land of the Pure Yang Empire.
Although Lord Chunyang’s cultivation was not the highest, his status could not be ignored by any royal family.
With Lord Chunyang’s help, Li Zhengyang also stood firm.
Now that Li Zhengyang wanted to become a Saint Emperor, Tian Lin King naturally wouldn’t agree. As long as Li Zhengyang couldn’t become a Saint Emperor in the next few years, they would have a chance to secretly get rid of him and let him compete for the throne.
" Tian Lin King, the Pure Sun Empire is in a war. "
" The three great empires are eyeing us covetously. They have already conquered half of the Pure Sun Empire. His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to unite the hearts of the people and expel the invading three great empires. "
"What is your purpose in stopping His Highness the Crown Prince from inheriting the throne?"
Lord Chunyang said loudly when he saw that no one in the entire Divine Yang Hall stood up to speak. Although he was not a representative of the Royal Family, his status was not inferior to the Royal Family. He definitely had the right to speak.
Moreover, he was supporting Li Zhengyang because he was entrusted by someone. If he did not speak now, Li Zhengyang would be stopped. Besides, it was not good for the Holy Emperor to speak now.
The other people who helped Li Zhengyang did not dare to stand up to help Li Zhengyang alone. It was difficult to do it alone. If Li Zhengyang could not succeed the throne, he would be suppressed by other opposing forces in the future.
"Lord Chunyang, you must pay attention to your words."
" I’m only thinking about the foundation of the empire. Does Lord Chunyang think that you can assist His Highness the Crown Prince? "
"If that’s the case, why should we care about the princes and ministers?"
Tian Lin king said loudly. As he spoke, he glanced at the people beside him.
With that said, he had a smile on his face as his gaze shifted to Lord Chunyang.
"This Prince also feels that the Crown Prince is not suitable to inherit the throne now."
"This king is the same."
"The Crown Prince is still young and is not suitable to inherit the throne."
"Please think twice, divine emperor."
"Please think twice, divine emperor."
Immediately, more than half of the representatives of the Royal Family and the officials stood up to oppose the Crown Prince’s succession. However, they were very tactful. They did not say that the Crown Prince could not inherit the throne, but that Li Zhengyang was too young to inherit the throne.
For a time, all the officials in the Divine Yang Hall asked Li Longtian to reconsider.
Li Longtian was also shocked by what he saw. He had never expected so many people to object. It was beyond his imagination.
"I believe that the Crown Prince can inherit the throne."
At this moment, a faint voice sounded from afar. As the voice fell, a figure appeared in front of the Divine Yang Hall and stopped not far from Li Zhengyang.
Hearing this voice, everyone looked at the person who spoke.
When everyone saw this person, they were all extremely shocked. Li Zhengyang’s face revealed a happy expression.
The Sacred Emperor’s solemn expression also relaxed. With this person’s appearance, there would not be much of a problem for Li Zhengyang to succeed the throne.
"Lord God!"
"Lord God!"
Everyone cried out in shock, their expressions changing. Those who supported Li Zhengyang were happy, but those who opposed Li Zhengyang became solemn.
They did not expect this god-conferred lord to come out at this time.
The God-conferred Lord was one of the top ten experts of the Pure Yang Sky City. He was the most influential expert in the Pure Yang Empire and had an extremely profound cultivation. Even if he wasn’t a Prince, the various Prince didn’t dare to provoke him.
This was because he controlled one-fifth of the Pure Sun Empire’s military strength and was one of the pillars of the empire. Although he had handed over the authority to his son and he was to live out his days in the empire, no one dared to oppose his words.
With such a figure standing on Li Zhengyang’s side, Li Zhengyang could smoothly inherit the throne without the need for other princes.
This was the symbol of strength. The influence of a god-conferred lord completely crushed all the princes.
"Greetings, Lord God-Conferred."
Lord Chunyang bowed respectfully to Lord God-Conferred. His status was extraordinary, but his cultivation was far inferior to Lord God-Conferred. His status was also inferior to Lord God-Conferred.
The God-Conferred Lord was a Demigod expert at the peak of the Demigod Realm, one of the top ten experts in the Pure Sun Empire.
"Does anyone have any objections to Crown Prince Li Zhengyang inheriting the throne?"
The divine emperor smiled faintly when he saw the god-conferred lord. He spoke to all the kings and officials.
As the Sacred Emperor, he had to consider the Empire in everything. He could not be biased.
Even if his son was stopped from inheriting the throne, he could not act arbitrarily.
Now that Li Zhengyang had a God-Conferred Lord on his side, victory was basically certain.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has the virtue of becoming an Emperor and should inherit the throne."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has the virtue of becoming an Emperor and should inherit the throne."
Instantly, all the officials and family representatives who supported Li Zhengyang spoke up at this moment. Under such circumstances, if they did not stand up, they would not have a chance in the future.
As for the people on Tian Lin king’s side, their expressions kept changing. The situation was not good for them and they felt some regret in their hearts. They did not expect the god conferred lord to appear at this time.
The experts and citizens in the square looked at the scene in front of the Divine Yang Hall with anticipation.
Countless experts looked at the God-Conferred Lord with admiration on their faces.
In front of the Divine Yang Hall, Tian Lin King’s expression was calm and unperturbed, as if he was waiting for something.
Just as countless of the Princes who opposed Li Zhengyang’s succession were regretting their decision, another calm voice sounded. When the voice sounded, it was still outside the Imperial Palace. When the voice fell, two voices had already landed in front of the square.
All the experts and citizens, as well as the officials and nobles in front of the Divine Yang Hall, all looked at the person who spoke in front of the square. They were extremely curious about the newcomer.
However, when everyone looked at the newcomer, their expressions kept changing.
Li Zhengyang, Lord Chunyang, and Lord God-Conferred all had solemn expressions on their faces. The atmosphere in the entire Divine Yang Hall was extremely strange.
This was because the identity and status of the newcomer were beyond their imagination.
It would be fine if it was just one person, but two heavyweight figures had suddenly appeared. The appearance of these two figures made the matter that was originally thought to be a foregone conclusion become confusing.
"It’s him."
Li Zhengyang looked at the two people in front of the square and said coldly. The expression on his face kept changing. He could no longer see any hope of inheriting the throne this time.
Moreover, when he saw who it was, a trace of hatred rose in his heart. [I recommend the new book, Ancient Sage Myriad Ancient King. Everyone is welcome to read it and save it. I need everyone’s support. Only with everyone’s support can the new book go further! "Everyone, please collect the Eternal Holy King first. We’ll look at it after you’ve fattened up. Thank you, everyone!"
