"Just talking, it takes me a minute."
"Such a huge national power, such vast resources, and such a accumulation of talents from generation to generation."
"That's a bad thing to say."
"As long as Sun-Moon Federation thinks about it, we Star Luo Empire, even if we add Tiandou Federation, we will be pushed aside in minutes."
Dai Tianling didn't speak, just listened quietly. His hands on his knees slowly clenched, and his knuckles turned white.
En Ci looked at him and continued.
"Even now, the golden age has arrived, and the Achieved Godhood era has arrived."
"Sun-Moon Federation's foundation is still rising."
"First Chen Xinjie was the first to break through, then Yun Ming, then Qiangu Dieting."
"What's next?"
"Guan Yue? Yu Guanzhi? Dong Zi'an?"
"Or is it Ya Li? Long Yeyue? Qiangu Dongfeng?"
En Ci counted the names one by one. Each one of them was a genius in Sun-Moon Federation who was expected to impact Divine Realm.
"But what about us?"
"The entire Star Luo Empire, not even the next Achieved Godhood that has a chance!"
As soon as these words came out, Dai Tianling's body suddenly stiffened.
He opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't say a word.
Because everything En Ci said is true.
Star Luo Empire, located in a corner overseas.
Although he and En Ci teamed up to push him to the pinnacle of national power, that peak was still not worth mentioning in front of Sun-Moon Federation.
There are not enough talents, not enough resources, and not enough foundation.
Not even a new god can be promoted.
If the East Sea area hadn't been occupied by Doulong Technology from another plane, Sun-Moon Federation's mind would have been distracted.
If it weren't for Sun-Moon Federation, the major families and various forces are fighting against each other, focusing on one thing and losing the other.
Who are they Star Luo Empire in the eyes of others?
I'm afraid it's not even a fart.
Dai Tianling slowly closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling violently.
He suddenly felt that he, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, was a loser.
The majestic king of a country, a generation of emperors, holds the world Authority in his hands, and has an army of millions.
But in this age of gods, in front of the towering mountain peak Sun-Moon Federation.
He has this power, this national strength, this so-called genius.
Everything is ridiculously pale.
"Teacher."
Dai Tianling opened his eyes, looked at En Ci, and spoke in a low voice.
"You said, what should we do?"
En Ci did not answer immediately.
He lowered his head, looked at the Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner on the table, and looked at the cold blood flowing on the flag.
A long, long time passed.
En Ci slowly raised his head, and in his compassionate and vast eyes, a bottomless calm had settled down at this moment. He looked at Dai Tianling, word by word, his voice was not high, but with a kind of determination that he had seen through the world and made up his mind.
"Your Majesty."
"We're also joining in."
As soon as these words came out, Dai Tianling's body shook violently.
He raised his head and looked at En Ci. A complicated light flashed in his calm and forbearing eyes.
En Ci did not avoid his gaze and continued.
"Whether it's success or failure."
"No matter how bad the outcome is, it won't be worse than it is now."
"Sun-Moon Federation That mountain has held us down for thousands of years."
"If we don't take this fight today, we won't even have the chance to fight in the future."
Dai Tianling was silent.
Of course he knows what the sentence En Ci actually means.
As long as you make this decision, Star Luo Empire will embark on the road of sacrificing the blood of thousands of creatures in exchange for the destiny of a country.
Once he fails, he Dai Tianling will bear eternal infamy and become the king of the country who destroyed the country at the cost of Achieved Godhood in the history books.
Stinking for eternity.
But so what?
Dai Tianling slowly clenched his fists, and a pair of Evil-Eyed White Tiger's eyes gradually lit up with a dazzling light under the light.
He, Dai Tianling, has never been a mediocre person.
Afraid of this and that, timid and hesitant, how can we accomplish great things in this age of gods?
When Star Luo Empire was driven out of the mainland and almost perished, how could his ancestors be afraid?
It was those ancestors who were not afraid of all difficulties, dared to gamble and fought hard, who gave Star Luo Empire the place where it lives today.
He Dai Tianling must not insult the courage of his ancestors.
"Okay!"
Dai Tianling slammed the armrest of the seat, stood up, and said loudly.
"The teacher is right!"
"Whether I succeed or fail, if I don't give it a try, I, Dai Tianling, will become the king of a country in vain!"
"Someone's coming!"
He shouted loudly towards the outside of the palace.
"Go to the side hall and ask Your Majesty Wang Haoxuan to come over!"
"He said, we want to discuss it in detail with him!"
The guards outside the palace left in response.
Footsteps sounded in the corridor, gradually getting farther and farther away.
En Ci looked at Dai Tianling's risk-taking look, and a trace of relief slowly appeared in his eyes.
As a student, he did not disappoint him after all.
A timid emperor cannot protect a country.
Only the monarch who dares to risk everything and give it a go in this troubled world is qualified to lead Star Luo Empire out of this quagmire.
Soon.
The palace door was pushed open again.
The figure of Wang Haoxuan appeared at the door.
He stepped into the hall and glanced at En Ci, then at Dai Tianling.
Seeing the looks on the two of them, a smile slowly spread on his face.
There was a kind of settled calmness in that smile, and there was also a trace of clear determination.
It was as if he had already guessed the two people's choices.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty En Ci."
Wang Haoxuan slightly arched his hands, with a hint of smile in his voice.
"It seems that you two have made up your mind."
"Can't hide it from Haoxuan's eyes."
En Ci smiled slightly, but did not mince words and asked directly.
"Your Majesty Haoxuan, people of the bright side do not speak secretly."
"How to use this Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner?"
"Tiandou Federation, how do you plan to get a share of this pie?"
"How should our two families join forces?"
Wang Haoxuan walked slowly to the hall and stood with his hands behind his back.
He looked at the dimly lit Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner on the desk and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty En Ci."
"This Myriad Spirits Blood Fiend Banner can be used to refine Divine Godhood Dao Fruit."
"One Dao Fruit can bring out a Second-Level God."
"It's just that to refine this Dao Fruit, you need blood sacrifices from thousands of living beings."
Wang Haoxuan As soon as these words came out, the air in the hall seemed to be a little colder.
Neither Dai Tianling nor En Ci answered the call immediately.
Blood sacrifice to thousands of living beings.
These six words were so heavy that they made people's hearts tighten.
In this world, whose children are not living people born from father and mother?
Whose family has no parents, wives, children, or worries?
The flag should be soaked with the resentful blood of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dead creatures; the evil spirit of a thousand massacres should be used as the warp and weft; the flag should be made of the lingering mournful souls of the murdered...
If you really want to fall this blood sacrifice on the heads of your own people, what else can you call protecting the country?
That's called massacre.
Dai Tianling The knuckles of the fists clenched were slightly white.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but saw Wang Haoxuan change the subject.
"Your Majesty, En Ci Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."
"I never intended that this blood sacrifice would fall on the heads of the people of this country. Nor would it fall on the people of the Star Luo Empire."
Wang Haoxuan's gaze swept over the two of them, word by word.
"What we want is war."
"War?!"
En Ci and Dai Tianling almost shouted out in unison.
Wang Haoxuan's eyes were burning, and he nodded slowly in response to the two people's astonished gazes.
"Yes, war!"
"In war, people die."
"In war, there will be bloodshed."
"In war, people will die violently, and evil spirits, blood energy, and resentful souls will gather together to form a river!"
