"No." The eldest prince's voice was hoarse. "After the proclamation is complete, I am willing to go meet our ancestral forefathers together with the fallen Tai Yu! Please, Heavenly Fate Sovereign, grant me this chance!"
After he spoke, the surroundings fell deathly silent. Those who had originally harbored hatred toward the eldest prince all fell silent at this moment.
When he had stepped forward to personally denounce Emperor Yu, and was willing to be buried alongside Tai Yu, it already proved that he had not sold out his imperial father merely to beg for his life... He truly stood opposed to Emperor Yu's path!
At the same time, he was actually saving the three billion Tai Yu soldiers who were now utterly confused, conflicted, and agonized, including the Southern Heaven Imperial Army.

"Count me in!"
"I'll join too."
"Heaven has doomed our Tai Yu! Heaven has doomed our Tai Yu!"
"I am willing to make the proclamation and lead the Tai Yu armies to surrender to the Heavenly Fate Chaos Imperial Dynasty..."
One Tai Yu royal after another, one high official after another, wept bitterly
