Above the divine throne.
A voice rang out, deep and distant:
"In this world, who wasn't born a slave to fate?"
"They merely transferred from another wild fate to become slaves of our man-made fate."
Inside the palace, the newly enthroned Emperor Lingyuan held a golden scepter. With a faint smile, he looked down at the feudal lords, Aristocratic Clans, and powerful families.
It was precisely because these people supported him that he had been able to ascend to the throne.
His gaze fell on the ministers of the Imperial Court, then shifted to Prime Minister Emperor Fuxian. He sighed inwardly. This prime minister truly knew how to read the situation and had understood that he should submit to him.
Emperor Lingyuan suddenly said, "Prime Minister, tell me about the state of the world today."
Emperor Fuxian sighed inwardly. He did not know what Night Emperor was playing at, nor did he even know that Night Emperor had disappeared.
But he knew that fellow must have some scheme in motion.
Thus, he had submitted to this new emperor and silently awaited Night Emperor's move. Now, he said mildly:
"Your Majesty, the essence of Luck Value is a money game."
"Right now, we're collecting taxes like mad, using them for cultivation, condensing Fate Numbers, and handing them down to our descendants!"
"This Luck Value has become genuine circulating money, an actual cultivation resource! We strip it away layer by layer, starting from the commoners at the very bottom."
"It's becoming harder and harder for poor families to produce prodigies."
"Children born with divine Fate Numbers become members of the divine clans. Commoners' children remain commoners forever."
"As for karma and Karmic Debt?"
The prime minister gave a cold, mocking smile. "So what if it clings to them? Can they defeat us?"
