After a long time, Wang Haoxuan slowly spoke, his voice not high, but with an indescribable heaviness and determination.
"Dai Tianling Your Majesty, En Ci Your Majesty."
"I think you all understand."
"This flag can make Limit Douluo, directly Achieved Godhood."
He paused and glanced at the two of them.
"As for me, Your Majesty En Ci, how Achieved Godhood is, you know better than I do."
"We are all gods who have dedicated our country's efforts to support us."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became a little more solemn.
Dai Tianling didn't speak, and En Ci didn't speak either.
They all understood what Wang Haoxuan meant.
He, Wang Haoxuan, is a second-level god who was created by relying on the support of the entire Tiandou Federation. Mercy is a god who was created by relying on the support of the entire country of the Star Luo Empire.
This god of theirs may seem like a beautiful person, but in fact, the entire country is tied to him.
But what about Sun-Moon Federation?
"But, what about Sun-Moon Federation on the Douluo Continent?"
Wang Haoxuan spoke slowly, his eyes filled with light from the sky shone with unwillingness, burning more and more intensely.
"The land is vast, the resources are rich, and the talents are abundant!"
"In every era, there are generations of geniuses who succeed one after another!"
"Soul Tool Technology, forging technology, Martial Soul secret technique, what is it but crushing me Heaven Dou, crushing you Star Luo Empire?"
"Star Luo Empire or Tiandou Federation!"
"Even if they are tied together, they are still not enough to defeat someone else!"
"Not to mention, now is the age of gods!"
He slowly stood up and approached Dai Tianling and En Ci step by step.
"Are you willing?"
"Are you willing to watch your country perish in the tide of time?"
"Are you willing to become the king who destroys the country and the minister who subjugates the country and is scolded by future generations?!"
His voice became heavier and heavier as he spoke, and finally he was almost suppressing his throat as he spoke word by word.
Dai Tianling's face suddenly darkened.
En Ci held the rod Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner and frowned.
Of course they were unwilling.
Star Luo Empire, once upon a time, was one of the top powerful countries on this continent. But now, it was driven out of the continent by the Sun Moon Empire and settled in a corner overseas to survive. Tiandou Federation was also suppressed by Sun-Moon Federation and could only huddle overseas.
Who can be willing?
Who wants to be the king who subjugates the country and the minister who destroys the country?
"I'm not willing to give in!"
Wang Haoxuan didn't wait for their answer, and spoke on his own, with a hint of madness in his voice that he had suppressed for too long.
"I just Achieved Godhood!"
"My country is still rejoicing for my Achieved Godhood!"
"But do I have to tell the common people that I have protected for my whole life that your country will perish sooner or later?!"
"Tell them that all the stability you have experienced these years is just a mirror image. Sooner or later, you will be crushed into powder by Sun-Moon Federation?!"
"I can't do it!"
Wang Haoxuan stared at the Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner, the light in his eyes was crazy and blazing.
"So, I want to fight."
"Even if you have to sacrifice thousands of lives in blood, even if you have to bear eternal infamy, even if you become the weakest Second-Level God in history."
"I also want to fight for a way out for my country!"
"Because I know that if it is because of my weakness that the country is destroyed in the end, I will regret it!"
There was deathly silence in the palace.
Wang Haoxuan's words, like Jinglei, oscillated back and forth in the empty hall, Jiujiu never left.
Dai Tianling was sitting on the main seat, his calm and forbearing eyes were as sinking as a bottomless pool. He looked at Wang Haoxuan, looking at the bloody Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner, Jiujiu said nothing.
His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the armrests of the seat, once, and again.
En Ci held the Square Banner, his brows furrowed. The dark flag in his palm was filled with dim light, like a half-open bloody eye, quietly looking at everyone in the hall.
After a long time, En Ci slowly raised his eyes and looked at Dai Tianling.
There are so many things hidden in that glance that are indescribable.
En Ci nodded slightly, and Dai Tianling also nodded imperceptibly.
The two exchanged a look that only each other could understand.
En Ci then turned to Wang Haoxuan and spoke slowly, his voice not high, but with a trace of the calmness and solemnity of Imperial Tutor.
"Your Majesty Haoxuan."
"Such a matter is of great importance and is no small matter."
"Can you please go to the side hall to rest for a while?"
"Allow me to discuss this with Your Majesty."
Wang Haoxuan glanced at the two of them.
He saw the waves surging beneath En Ci's calm surface, and also saw the uncontrollable struggle deep in Dai Tianling's eyes.
He guessed the outcome of the discussion almost instantly.
Star Luo Empire, there is no second way to go.
He was calm in his heart, but on his face, he remained calm. He just nodded slightly and his tone was indifferent.
"Understood."
After that, he said no more, turned around, and strode out of the hall.
The palace door slowly closed behind him.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away in the empty corridor.
--
In the hall, only En Ci and Dai Tianling were left.
The two partners, a master and a minister, a teacher and a friend, fell into a rare silence.
The lights danced, reflecting two faces with their own thoughts.
For a long time, they have been like-minded companions.
In the court, En Ci offers good advice to the Star Luo Empire; in practice, he conveys his thoughts to Dai Tianling.
Dai Tianling is above the court, setting the world for the Star Luo Empire; in practice, practicing the teacher's teachings.
One teaches with all his resources, while the other accepts teaching with an open mind.
One lights the lamp with foresight, and the other lights the way forward with courage.
One achieves his ambition with trust, and the other fulfills his blueprint with determination.
Masters and disciples work hand in hand, monarchs and ministers know each other, they are both teachers and friends, and they work together to push Star Luo Empire forward step by step.
It can even be said that this pair of monarchs and ministers pushed Star Luo Empire, who had fled to the Star Luo Continent and was on the verge of national destruction, to the pinnacle of national power!
But even so.
Sun-Moon Federation, like a towering mountain peak, always pressed above their heads, making them breathless.
Silence spread in the palace.
I don't know how long it took.
Dai Tianling spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.
"Teacher."
"Student, I can't refute a single word of what Wang Haoxuan said just now."
En Ci didn't answer immediately. He slowly placed the Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner on the table in front of him, looked down at the dark flag, and after a long time, he sighed softly.
"Your Majesty is right."
"I can't refute it either."
There was another long silence between the two.
En Ci raised his eyes, looked at the dark night outside the hall, and said slowly.
"Star Luo Empire, it looks like everything is calm, but in fact it has already been in turmoil."
"Exclude the big independent forces like Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda."
"Just War God Temple, Intelligence Department, Research Department from Sun-Moon Federation..."
"Central Legion, Blood God Legion, Western Legion, Southern Legion, Northern Legion, Northwestern Legion, Sea God Legion, East Sea Legion, North Sea Legion..."
En Ci Counted in one breath, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally turned into a heavy sigh.
