Chapter 5216
"But Emperor Jie of Xia was an emperor of his generation, the emperor of the entire starry sky."
"An emperor valued schemes and tactics, balance, and the Imperial Heart Technique. No matter how unwilling they might be, there were things they still had to do or compromise on. But he did not."
"This also caused the many noble virtues he possessed to become not a good thing, but the root cause of the Ruthless Dynasty's destruction."
Elder Luo gave a bitter smile as well.
It was clear that as he spoke of these matters, he could not help but sigh with emotion.
Yet few of his sighs were likely for Emperor Xia himself. They were for the fall of the Xia Dynasty.
Or perhaps for his disdain toward that high-level civilization's search for an inheritor.
"Whether the Xia Dynasty fell because of him or not, I still think he was a good man. If he could not even protect the brothers he acknowledged, if he had to abandon even his own principles, then what the hell was the point of being a ruler?" Qin Shaofeng shook his head in rebuttal.
Elder Luo stared at him for quite a while.
In the end, it all turned into nothing more than a sigh.
"Twenty thousand years ago, the Sacred Hall emerged out of nowhere. After nearly ten thousand years of conquest, it ultimately obtained the starry sky through some inexplicable reason."
"What?!"
Qin Shaofeng cried out again.
This time, Elder Luo had no intention of answering him. He continued, "Even now, the starry sky has existed for more than nine thousand eight hundred years. The Starry Sky powers are more scattered than they were during the Xia Dynasty, yet the Starry Sky Sacred Hall rarely involves itself in their affairs.
