Sun Moon Empire Submits, Reactions from All Sides, Coronation Ceremony

Seeing that Jing Hongchen remained unmoved and even showed a hint of mockery.

The imperial family members were both shocked and furious.

Yet they only dared to be angry, not speak out.

Pitiful, weak, and helpless.

If Jing Hongchen alone had betrayed the imperial family, that would have been one thing, but Elder Kong was among those leading the charge!

Elder Kong was the most respected elder in the Sun Moon Empire. Not only was he an imperial consecrated official, but he also possessed one-quarter imperial blood.

In truth, Elder Kong was the true pillar of the Sun Moon imperial family.

But now, their greatest pillar had abandoned them.

What were they supposed to do?

Watching everyone before him fear for their lives, Kong Deming's expression remained utterly calm.

He felt no pity, because he knew that indecision only brought greater chaos.

Could they really stir up the conflict now and fast-forward to the outbreak of a continental war?

Although the Sun Moon Empire's true strength could not be weakened merely by the death of one emperor, the issue was that its advantage over the Three Douluo Kingdoms was no longer what it had once been.

Who could have expected the Spirit Pagoda to emerge out of nowhere?

As a result, the Sun Moon Empire, this great war machine, was now in an extremely awkward position.

Should it seek its own destruction, or make one last stand with its back to the wall?

Kong Deming was indeed an imperial consecrated official, but he was also the consecrated official of the entire Sun Moon Empire!

He had to take responsibility for everyone in the Empire.

In truth, he did not care which member of the imperial family became the Sun Moon Emperor, so long as that emperor's ascension benefited the Empire.
