Blaspheming the Creator
Having territory means having a way out.
With the throne no longer exclusively held, there is much less danger.
In the future, even if the White Tower Family cannot hold onto their throne, they can retreat to the Northern Border and become a super-noble family with its own territory.
and.
The White Tower Family is inherently qualified to be chosen as emperors. In the future, if a powerful and wise member of the White Tower Family rises up, they can still reclaim the throne.
Therefore, the entire Second Sera Empire actually had twenty electors.
Moreover, besides that...
In order to leave an opening for powerful individuals and forces that might rise in the future to enter the upper echelons of the Sera Empire.
Rosela also added a clause to the Imperial Constitution: anyone who has rendered meritorious service may be granted the title of Elector if the Imperial Nobles agree with it by more than two-thirds.
certainly.
The term "Elector" does not mean that families qualified to become emperors of the Sera Empire are merely marquises; their correct title is actually Elector.
These nineteen families are also very powerful, most of them being great nobles or even King with vast territories, and possessing great Transcendent power.
Their status was higher than that of ordinary dukes and earls; they were at the top of the imperial hierarchy and had the right to recommend the emperor.
Moreover, they also possessed exclusive imperial official titles during the ceremony.
For example, the Queen of the Elf Kingdom was granted the official position of Guardian of the entire Outer Ring Sea by Rosela.
The reason for making this decision.
Rosela was terrified by the previous incident where the White Tower Family was hunted down and almost wiped out.
In her eyes, the position of emperor was not as important as the continuation of her family line.
Two more years passed.
Rhine White Tower is eighteen years old.
To ensure the continuation of his family bloodline, Rosela arranged for him to marry nineteen daughters of nobles.
Of course, among these, only one noblewoman is the legitimate daughter of the nineteen electors, and she will become the empress of the empire.
Only her sons and daughters can inherit the White Tower Family's vast territory and the status of Elector.
The others were all daughters of ordinary nobles, or even second daughters who were beautiful and had good personalities.
They will all become imperial consorts.
Rosela has also made arrangements for their children.
These children will not have the power of an elector, nor will they inherit the territory of the White Tower Family. Instead, they will be enfeoffed by Rosela to various places in the Femore Heavenly Land, becoming local nobles.
These families may not be able to inherit the White Tower's surname, but will instead create their own noble surnames.
But this undoubtedly allowed the White Tower Family to continue its legacy.
thus.
After twelve years of aristocratic education, Rhine White Tower entered a period of both happiness and despair.
One year later.
Severa White Tower, the eldest daughter of the White Tower Family, was born.
She possesses the same purple eyes as Rhine White Tower and the same Witch- like Talent as Rosela.
Rosela adored the child and made her the first heir of the White Tower Family, as well as the first heir to the empire, ranking above the other electors.
In the Second Sera Empire.
Rosela made an agreement with the electors and nobles.
The emperor's eldest son and eldest daughter are eligible to be the first or second heir to the empire, meaning there are two heirs.
The eldest sons or daughters of other electors, whose positions were after the emperor's eldest sons and daughters, had only one heir.
Daughters and sons have the same inheritance rights; the one born first has the highest priority.
so.
Severa White Tower was the first in line to the throne of the Second Sera Empire after Rhine ascended to the throne.
Five years later.
The Rhine White Tower already has hundreds of children.
Rosela finally felt it was about time.
She convened the Second Sera Empire's Noble Council for the last time, announced her abdication, and passed the throne to Rhine White Tower.
That's all.
Rhine White Tower became the second emperor of the Second Sera Empire.
then.
After leaving him a secret army of Witch, Rosela left the Femore Continent and went into the Void to search for Tashaluona's whereabouts.
She wanted to ask Tashaluona herself why she had so cruelly killed her own daughter.
After Rosela left.
Because of the continued power of this great Natural Disaster Witch, the Second Sera Empire enjoyed many years of peace.
Rhine White Tower died after sitting on the throne for more than 50 years.
Because he was indeed mediocre in Talent, he suffered greatly in his childhood, which greatly depleted his body. Although he was later found and brought back to the palace, where he received ample nutrition and resources, he was still unable to recover his health.
not to mention.
He had many children in his youth, which prevented him from developing powerful Transcendent abilities and prevented him from achieving Legendary in his lifetime.
He also knew that his Rosela never loved him, but rather the bloodline of the ancestor Geruiya within him.
But as the emperor of the empire, although he was mediocre, he was undoubtedly competent.
Although he was not particularly powerful, he knew how to use the conflicts between the various noble families and powerful forces to balance the power of the empire.
He was kind and never executed nobles easily, always giving each one dignity.
The nobles thus pledged their sincere loyalty to this "weak" emperor.
He also loved the people, and for this reason, he formulated many systems that benefited the common people, which won the support of the people in the major cities of the empire.
Of course, he can't see everything.
To him, slaves, whose lives were ten thousand times more miserable than those of ordinary people, were simply slaves.
In this respect, he was no different from ordinary nobles.
How to treat children.
He devoted most of his life to his eldest daughter Severa, and placed all his hopes on her.
after all.
Severa is the first in line to the throne and Rosela's favorite child.
Even though he was also a son born to the Empress, he was only the second in line to the throne.
After Severa came of age.
Rhine White Tower then entrusted the Imperial Knight and the Witch Legion to Severa's management.
She lived up to expectations, successfully becoming Legendary at the age of thirty-six.
so.
With such an outstanding daughter before her, no one could shake her position.
Even among the nineteen heirs of the Electors, not one questioned Severa's position.
As for his other children.
Rhine White Tower selected several fertile lands in the Northern Continent for his and the Queen's children.
His other hundred-plus children were enfeoffed on other continents.
Most of these places need to be developed by ourselves, and even if they are developed, they will only be the size of a mid-level noble family at the beginning.
After the death of Rhine White Tower.
Severa White Tower was elected as the emperor of the empire.
When choosing an Imperial Prince.
She chose the son of the Elf Queen from the Outer Ring Sea as her husband.
Severa was powerful, and with the strong support of the Elf race, and with the lingering influence of Rosela, the empire flourished during her reign.
and.
Severa was a devoted woman; she had only one Elf prince in her entire life.
The couple had only one daughter, Morgan White Tower.
This daughter is the jewel of the entire empire, surrounded by stars and revered as the moon.
She was extremely lustful, indiscriminate in her lust for men and women. In her royal estate, she kept dozens of handsome men and beautiful women for her pleasure.
Severa had tried to control her, but although her daughter was lustful, she was also extremely capable, so she let her be.
More than fifty years later.
Severa and her Elf prince prepare to travel through the Void and roam the Sacred River.
Severa then abdicated, and Morgan White Tower was elected Emperor of the Empire.
The next few hundred years.
Both were ruled by Morgan White Tower, who was also the longest-reigning emperor of the Second Sera.
Until four hundred years later.
Morgan White Tower died unexpectedly.
Her eldest son was chosen as the emperor of the empire.
However, this eldest son only reigned for ten years before his incompetence and carelessness led to his death at sea during a campaign against the islanders of the Inner Ring Sea.
At this time, the emperor's children were still young.
Thus, for the first time, the imperial throne fell into the hands of another family.
Asicul Lawrence, the current head of the Lawrence Family Electors Lawrence, has been elected Emperor of the Empire.
After that.
The Second Sera Empire lasted for many more years.
The emperor's family has been constantly changing, but the White Tower Family has rarely returned to the throne.
On the other side.
Upon entering the Void, Rosela first returned to the Witch Domain and sent people to inquire about Tashaluona's whereabouts.
After hundreds of years of searching.
She finally found this familiar yet unfamiliar Greater Witch.
now.
Tashaluona's power also reached the Deity Grade.
The two are quite evenly matched.
However, in terms of aura, Rosela sensed the powerful bloodline aura emanating from Tashaluona.
At this moment, she finally realized that it was this Witch who had extracted Geruiya's bloodline.
So she angrily questioned him.
"Tashaluona, did you kill your daughter Geruiya?"
Tashaluona did not deny it, and nodded.
"I extracted Geruiya's bloodline; she died because of me."
"I don't deny it."
Why did you do that?!
Rosela was furious.
Tashaluona's eyes were unfocused.
"Rosela, you don't know how precious Geruiya's bloodline is. She didn't just revert to the blood of the War God Youlun, but to the bloodline of that great Creator."
"Look!"
With a flick of her breath, a Platinum moon appeared on her body.
"This is the innate phenomenon of our bloodline, the White Gold Moon."
"This originally belonged to Geruiya!"
Rosela gritted her teeth.
"Moreover, you've used such a method to steal the Blood of the Creator. Do you think the Creator will favor you?"
"He will punish!"
"The Creator?"
Tashaluona chuckled softly.
"The Creator has been gone for so many years, even the War God Youlun, hides high in the Heaven and rarely comes down to earth."
"And as long as I become powerful, I will become the new Creator!"
"Hmph, how arrogant!"
I'm going to kill you!
You can't kill me!
Tashaluona laughed.
"How about this: you've lost Geruiya, and I'll use bloodline magic to help you have another one?"
Rosela was angry yet calm.
"Tashaluona, you're insane."
"Also, Geruiya is unique."
Even today, I cannot kill you.
"From now on, I will dedicate my entire life to killing you!"
