Faced with the First Prince’s extremely arrogant words, Fang Xingjian straightened his back as though he was not facing any pressure.

“The Regional Selection is a national regulation under the King’s orders. By saying this, are you trying to say that you want to surpass the King and overstep the boundaries of your own authorities?”

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, the First Prince looked at him and laughed coldly, as though he was looking at a clown.

Stretching out his hands, the Dark Heavenly Canopy pressed downward again.

“Fang Xingjian, let me tell you today… Before absolute power, things like reasonings, regulations and justice… they’re nothing but crap. When absolute power breaks through, it naturally becomes the regulation.”

A surge of very strong and dark power descended, as though it was bringing down the entire stretch of sky.

However, at this moment, a surge of power of great majesty came down like an extremely Yang gust of wind, dissipating the large spread of darkness.

This majestic and strong power was like the sun in the sky, omnipresent and extremely vigorous yet nourishing, bringing about the feeling of the spring breeze.

“Eldest Brother, please stop there.”

A voice rang out together with this force of power, astonishing the crowd once again.

Governor Devitt thought to himself, ‘It’s the Second Prince’s Thoughts Across A Thousand Li. His thoughts have transcended through space.

Hearing the Second Prince’s thoughts, a light flashed past the First Prince’s eyes, and he said, “Oh? Second Brother, even you are here to stop me?”

“The Regional Selection has been set up since the founding of the Empire to uncover and nurture talents in order the strengthen the Empire.

“The mastery of Eldest Brother’s cultivation is gradually heading toward perfection. Moreover, although you have not attained all thirty-six Hell’s Maps, you’re close to attaining the Divine level. So, why do you need to make it hard for a mere Knight?”

Hearing that the person speaking was the Second Prince, everyone was shocked. However, the messages in the Second Prince’s words made everyone feel even more astonished.

“The First Prince is about to attain the Divine level despite not having cultivated all thirty-six Hell’s Maps?”

“Divine level… divine level… His Majesty has said before that once the First Prince steps into the Divine level, he will travel the world and pass all the matters of the country to the First Prince.”

“I see… This time around, His Majesty has let the First Prince take the role of Royal Supervisory Officer in order to let him remove all opposing forces and increase his influence. This will in turn allow him to be further distinguished from the other princes.”

“His Majesty has completely made up his mind and chosen the First Prince.”

Almost everyone was astonished by the Second Prince’s words. It was now certain that the First Prince was the successor to the throne, and he might even become the Empire’s eleventh Divine level expert and rule the world. The Second Prince’s words had even hinted a sign of inferiority to the First Prince.

Then after hearing the Second Prince’s words, the First Prince also fell silent for a while before saying calmly, “Second Brother, the reason you’re saying this is because you hope that I can let Fang Xingjian off?”

The Second Prince’s voice rang out again, “With Eldest Brother’s cultivation, you should be able to reach the Divine level in at most another year, right? With your powers, your sight should be set across the entire world. Your real opponents should be the three Mage Kings, the countries in the north, and the Sand Country in the west.

“If you manage to step into Divine level a year later, I’ll naturally go all out to help you. Why do you need to insist on holding onto a mere Knight?”

“Hmph.” Hearing the Second Prince’s words, the First Prince was overjoyed and said, “Since Second Brother has said so, I will naturally not mind letting go of a Knight. Within a year, I’ll definitely attain the Divine level. I hope that when the time comes, you will not make the wrong decision and disappoint me.”
