Fang Xingchen’s expression became even duller. At this moment, he understood that he would never have any chance of exacting revenge in this lifetime. However, there was still a hint of discontent in his heart.

‘Both my parents died in your hands. Although I’m unable to take revenge, the Church of Universal Truth may be able to,’ he kept on thinking this. ‘With the two Guardian Kings killed, the Church will definitely not leave things be. They are the top influence in the world, having accumulated history from thousands or ten thousands of years. There are also more than ten other Guardian Kings who are of the same level as Death-Revealing Heavenly Eyes.’

The other people were all shocked numb by what had happened. Their mouths were wide open, and they entered a state of silence.

The First Prince let out a bitter laugh and sighed, “Fang Xingjian, are you really going to make enemies out of the Church of Universal Truth?”

“I’ll make a trip to the Church sooner or later,” Fang Xingjian said.

It was true that he would head to the Church. The changes the Purple Mage King brought to Fang Xingjian’s body had resulted in a completely different change to his thoughts and inner heart. There were also memories appearing in his mind from time to time, filling him with curiosity toward his past.

His mother’s death… The man in black who had taken his mother away and had also bestowed him with the purple flames… The purple flames which had given him the world’s best talent in sword arts… The man in black’s final warning…

All these secrets seemed to be in the north and in the Church.

‘It’s just a matter of time. Before I head to the Church, I should make back a trip back to Earth and investigate the things that happened when I was young.’

The thoughts that ran through Fang Xingjian’s mind did not hinder his movements. He threw a glance toward the First Prince and said slowly, “The Krieg royal family has been dealt a great blow and the Imperial Capital has been destroyed. The Empire urgently requires a new leader.”

Fang Xingjian’s gaze swept through the crowd before he said slowly, “I think that the Second Prince’s son, Charlot, is someone who has been intelligent since he was young, and he is righteous and virtuous. He has the image of a great leader. Why don’t we let him inherit the throne and lead the Empire?”

Everyone fell silent. How could anyone possibly object to Fang Xingjian’s words at this moment? The huge palm in the sky was still faintly discernible, and the two Guardian Kings had just exploded on the spot earlier.

At the sight of this, the First Prince let out a cold snort, ‘Fang Xingjian, you’re strong and unrivaled, but our Krieg Clan has managed the Empire’s eight regions for over 200 years. The royal family’s prestige has been deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts.

‘The conferring of the Knight title and the academies’ system have been developed for so many years. How many of the Empire’s experts did not come out from the teachings of the Empire’s various academies?

‘It’s not that easy for you to be so domineering and conspire to take over the foundation that our clan has established.

‘Which of the people present aren’t our Empire’s Governor, Regional Chief, instructor, officers, or other Knight officials? They have been indebted to the royal family for generations, so how could they possibly submit just because of a few words you say?

‘Without my cooperation, you’ll probably still need to take three to five years to take over the entire Empire.’

However, the First Prince thought too highly of everyone’s moral integrity, especially the politicians. The patriotic loyalty that numerous people had displayed was just something they had sustained back when the Krieg Clan was powerful and prosperous.

It was like the saying, ‘ A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in 1 .’ When someone suffered a setback, everyone would deal the person a blow. The Empire’s officials and conferred Knights were too familiar with doing this. The clashes and conflicts between the Empire’s aristocrats and factions had always been extremely dark and vile. Humans had always been able to continuously lower their limits time and time again for the sake of their benefits.

Not only did no one object, but the moment Fang Xingjian said this, someone had already dashed out and picked up from where he had started.

The Beast God, who came from the Eastern Sand Region, stood up abruptly and groveled onto the ground.

This Demigod with four tiers of perfection, an expert who had traveled the world in order to strive for the Divine level, had a large part of his body eaten up by the Evil God Tribe’s warrior earlier. He had then eventually managed to survive under Darkness’ Aberration’s protection.
