A Secret Talk with Star Luo Emperor Dai Feng

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Star Luo Emperor Dai Feng looked at the complex information on the table with a worried expression, trying to find a glimmer of hope to save the Star Luo Empire.

He knew that dealing with these trivial matters was pointless. The Star Luo Royal Family's strength was comparable to that of other forces, which was a pretext for the empire's downfall.

Star Luo Empire established its nation through martial prowess. In the past, when it fought against the Heaven Dou Empire, which had the support of Seven Great Sects, it relied entirely on its own strength.

However, after this great battle in Tianxing City, although it seemed that the Star Luo Empire had won, the royal Dai Family suffered heavy losses. The loss of one titled warrior and two pairs of titled warriors, the Hell White Tiger, completely broke their backbone.

Thinking of this, Dai Feng's hatred kept surging in his heart. This was definitely done by the Star Crown Sect. Back then, only they had the ability to affect Titled Douluo on the battlefield.

However, the strength displayed by the Star Crown Sect left him somewhat helpless. With so many Titled Douluo, the Star Luo Royal Family was simply not someone they could mess with.

On the contrary, the Star Luo Royal Family needs to rely on their strength to resist the invasion of the Northern Spirit Hall Empire and avoid complete annihilation.

"Am I really going to become the tyrant who leads the Star Luo Empire to its Destruction?"

"Your Majesty is mistaken. You are not a foolish ruler, but a wise ruler who can lead the Star Luo Empire to glory. All of this depends on your choice."

"Who is it?!"

Dai Feng suddenly stood up from his seat, causing the intelligence reports on the table to fall to the ground. His loud and authoritative voice resounded throughout the hall, but the guards outside seemed not to hear him at all, and no one came in to check.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xu Mingxi, who had suddenly appeared in the palace. Entering the palace hall at this time without a formal invitation was clearly ill-intentioned.

Moreover, his words just now were so intriguing. He said that making the right choice could make one a wise ruler. Was he implying that their Star Crown Sect should be above the Star Luo Empire?

"Why didn't you send someone to inform me beforehand that Star Douluo has graced me with his presence? I would have been able to prepare a grand banquet to welcome him."

As Dai Feng spoke, his feet moved without stopping, heading straight for the door, as if he were going to instruct the ministers to prepare a banquet.

But he didn't expect that Star Douluo would directly stop him. Looking at the thick arm blocking his way, Dai Feng's heart sank instantly.

This matter concerns the Star Luo Empire. Although he had expected it, he was still taken aback. Was the Star Crown Sect preparing to make a formal showdown?

"I wonder why Star Douluo has stopped me."

"Your Majesty, just as I told you, you will not be able to leave this hall until you make your choice."

Dai Feng's gaze sharpened, he chuckled twice, and sat back down on his throne. Since he couldn't get out, he wouldn't. He wanted to see what the Star Crown Sect was really up to.

Anyway, the situation can't get any worse. At most, the Star Luo Empire will follow the same path as the Heaven Dou Empire. With the Dai Family around, the family won't be destroyed.

"Star Douluo, just say what you have to say."

"Your Majesty is very generous. I will speak frankly. The Star Luo Empire is currently facing a great calamity. My Star Crown Sect does not want the people to be displaced and wants to take up the banner of fighting against the Spirit Hall Empire."

"We from the Star Crown Sect would like to sit in the spot where you are now."

"Hehe."

Dai Feng was so angry he laughed. If they wanted the throne, they should just admit it. Why did they have to make it sound so high-sounding? He really looked down on the Star Crown Sect's behavior.

The principle of "the victor is king, the loser is villain" and "the weak submit to the strong" has been the supreme truth of the Douluo Continent since ancient times.

Not to mention that the Star Luo Empire is a country where the strong prey on the weak, and the selection of each Star Luo Emperor is accompanied by countless bloodshed and sacrifices.

Even Dai Feng himself, back when he became the crown prince, had to resort to countless tricks to defeat many of his brothers.

Unlike Dai Weisi in this year's class, they were not without rivals back then. Even Dai Mubai was slightly more competitive, gave up.

Dai Feng couldn't help but recall the news he had just seen: his third son Dai Mubai, seemed to be with the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and had formed an alliance with the people from the Four Elements Academy.

He no longer cared about his rebellious son; as long as he was alive, that was enough. The rest was up to fate.

"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind? Apart from your side, all the other forces in the Star Luo Empire have indicated that they will attend the enthronement ceremony in ten days."

"Really? It must have been hard for you to prepare for so long."

Xu Mingxi's words brought Dai Feng back to reality. He seemed to have become the head of the Star Luo Dai Family again, the iron-blooded emperor who had ruled the Star Luo Empire for decades and suppressed Heaven Dou to the point of suffocation.

The Dai Family's defeat is a foregone conclusion. What he needs to do now is to find a way to better preserve the family's strength for the future.

"Star Douluo, it won't be so easy for the Dai Family to step down. Even if you are powerful, you don't want a Star Luo Empire riddled with problems, do you?"

Once they agree, things will be much easier.

Xu Mingxi's lips curled slightly beneath the Mask. What they needed was a Star Luo Empire with a large population and strong national power.

The Star Crown Sect has more important things to do and doesn't want to spend too much time on governing the country.

"That's natural. Our Star Crown Sect isn't so unreasonable. The Star Luo Empire is still the Star Luo Empire."

We will not participate in the conflicts among the various noble families and sects within the empire; you can compete for resources according to your own strength.

All we need is for you to obey the unified orders of the Star Crown Sect, for example, to erect my statue within the Star Luo Empire."

A deity statue? Dai Feng could understand everything else, but this deity statue was something he hadn't expected at all. For a moment, he had no idea what the Star Crown Sect was trying to do.

However, the Star Luo Empire was, after all, a powerful nation that had been passed down for thousands of years. Since ascending the throne, Dai Feng had learned a great deal about the secrets of many forces on the continent from the royal family's secret database.

He quickly recalled that there were indeed ancient texts that recorded that the idols did indeed have a function, and a great one at that.

Many years ago, the ancestor of the Spirit Hall, the Angel God, became a god by eliminating Evil Soul Master, erecting statues of gods in various parts of the continent, and collecting faith.

Does Star Douluo also want to become a god? How could the Spirit Hall Empire allow such a thing to happen? The faith of just half a continent should not be enough.

However, none of this mattered to Dai Feng. He stared intently at Xu Mingxi, wanting to know just one thing.

"Star Douluo, I can voluntarily abdicate the throne, but I want to know what you can give to the Dai Family."
