Help Me!
Zhuo Ning naturally discerned something from Yi Xuan's expression, but still nodded and said, "That's right, I'm going to fight for the throne!"
Upon hearing this, the last glimmer of hope Yi Xuan had for Zhuo Ning was completely extinguished.
He couldn't say that Zhuo Ning's choice was wrong.
At this moment, Zhuo Ning was like a rich second-generation who didn't want to rely on his parents.
Struggling and working hard outside, experiencing the harsh realities of society.
But one Heavenly Father called and told him that he had a terminal illness and that he needed to go back to inherit the family business.
What should he do?
Should I give up the family business and continue to strive on my own?
Don't be silly!
Only those who have experienced the hardships of life will understand how wonderful it is to have a family business to inherit.
Yi Xuan's disappointment stemmed only from regret.
He originally thought that, after those years of experience in the Xia Kingdom, Zhuo Ning had gained a perspective that surpassed that of others in this world.
But now it seems he still can't escape this world.
As a friend, Yi Xuan would naturally support Zhuo Ning unconditionally.
But this only applies to the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom!
Yi Xuan's future will not be confined to the original Southern Frontier or the current Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, nor will it be confined to the Cultivation Realm.
For him, the journey ahead lies in the vast universe above!
But once Zhuo Ning seizes the throne with Yi Xuan's help, will he so easily relinquish the power he has gained?
Yi Xuan expressed his doubts.
Power is a good thing; it can bring unimaginable benefits to those who wield it: status, respect, money, honor, and even life!
But power is also a poison; many people's vision gradually becomes blurred under its influence, and in the end, they are completely blinded by power.
Even Yi Xuan himself, putting himself in Zhuo Ning's shoes, couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be corrupted, let alone Zhuo Ning.
This was one of the reasons why Yi Xuan appointed Zhuo Ning as the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.
After all, he was born in a celestial kingdom, and the small power of the Xia Kingdom was nothing to him.
If it were Yi Xuan himself, he probably would have completely forgotten about developing technology in just a few days.
Keep playing music and dancing, isn't that great?
But at that moment, Zhuo Ning spoke up again.
"I'm not fighting for the throne for anyone! He is indeed my father, but how much of a father-son bond can there really be after all these years?"
Zhuo Ning paused, then continued, "I'm vying for the throne to bring about change! I originally thought this world of cultivators would remain unchanged forever! But the Xia Kingdom has shown me a different side. Yi Xuan, your technology has shown me the possibility of ordinary people standing proudly before cultivators! I will turn the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom into a second Xia Kingdom!"
These words instantly elevated Zhuo Ning's image in Yi Xuan's eyes!
At this moment, Marx and Engels seemed to have traveled through time and space and descended upon Zhuo Ning.
Good heavens, this is a rebellion!
Yi Xuan felt that the only regret at this moment was the lack of background music.
If they sang "The Internationale" a couple of times, the atmosphere would be absolutely amazing!
"Help me!"
Zhuo Ning looked at Yi Xuan with a serious expression, as if he was about to utter the word "comrade" at any moment.
Yi Xuan suddenly realized that her perspective was still too narrow.
Whether it was the development of the Xia Kingdom before, or the later spread of the Xia Kingdom's technology throughout the entire Southern Frontier.
In essence, Yi Xuan simply wants to create its own technology hub.
This is why Yi Xuan only carried out ideological liberation among the people of the Xia Kingdom, but did not extend this liberation to the entire Southern Frontier.
Despite the fact that various Xia Kingdom products are circulating in the markets of the entire Southern Frontier at this time, and that convenient technological products have long been integrated into the lives of the people, the situation remains largely unchanged.
However, they are merely users of the product; they only enjoy the convenience it brings, but rarely think about how it is achieved.
Even if a few intelligent people occasionally try to explore its mysteries, they will have to give up due to existing knowledge barriers.
Therefore, it is more accurate to say that Yi Xuan promoted Xia Kingdom's products to the entire Southern Frontier.
It's more accurate to say that he treated the entire Southern Frontier as a greenhouse for harvesting his own harvested crops.
They use their technological products to exchange for countless Spirit Stones and materials, and then invest these Spirit Stones and materials into the Xia Kingdom to start a new round of scientific research, repeating the cycle endlessly.
And now, Zhuo Ning actually wants to transform the behemoth that is the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom into a second Xia Kingdom.
This was something Yi Xuan had never imagined.
However, after hearing Zhuo Ning's words, Yi Xuan suddenly realized something.
With the advancement of its own technology, Xia Kingdom has indeed become somewhat more of a small-scale player.
Are we going to rely on a tiny, insignificant country when we finally enter interstellar space?
Clearly, no matter how advanced Xia Kingdom's technology is, the support it can provide for the interstellar expedition is just a drop in the ocean.
At this moment, inspired by Zhuo Ning...
Yi Xuan also has new ideas for the future.
Since entering interstellar space is a foreseeable future, why not make plans sooner?
Based on the existing Cultivation Realm, it radiates outwards to explore the universe!
It's settled then. I'll turn the entire Cultivation Realm into my base for exploring the stars in the future!
At this moment, Yi Xuan silently made this decision in his heart.
Looking up, the moment their eyes met Zhuo Ning's.
Yi Xuan uttered a single word.
"Good!"
Zhuo Ning breathed a sigh of relief immediately after hearing this.
He understood that without Yi Xuan's help, turning the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom into a second Xia Kingdom was nothing short of a pipe dream.
The Xia Kingdom is a unique entity in the entire Cultivation Realm.
Today, the Xia Kingdom can live without cultivators, but it cannot live without technology!
Technology has made the Xia Kingdom what it is today!
Xia Kingdom Technology originated from Yi Xuan!
Zhuo Ning, who had once been the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, actually had a deeper understanding of the Xia Kingdom's situation than anyone else.
The Xia Kingdom can do without anyone, including him, the emperor whose prestige in the Xia Kingdom is at its zenith.
But he just can't live without Yi Xuan!
Even though only a handful of people in the entire Xia Kingdom knew of Yi Xuan, it did not diminish his influence over the entire Xia Kingdom.
Yi Xuan naturally understood this as well; otherwise, why would he have relinquished the throne to someone else?
Sometimes, technological superiority is more useful than power.
The overwhelming technological advantage meant that Yi Xuan had a stronger actual control over the entire Xia Kingdom than Emperor Zhuo Ning.
We generally believe that power is like a paper tiger in the face of absolute strength.
But in the face of absolute technology, it's not even a tiger.
It's nothing more than a laughable piece of waste paper.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan suddenly realized that Zhuo Ning couldn't possibly be unaware of what would happen if the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom were turned into a second Xia Kingdom.
Doesn't that mean handing over the immortal kingdom that we've already acquired to Yi Xuan?
On the surface, he is still the Immortal Emperor who controls the country, but Yi Xuan will become the de facto Supreme Emperor of this Celestial Kingdom. Can he really accept that?
After staring at Zhuo Ning for a moment, Zhuo Ning suddenly laughed.
He read the doubt on Yi Xuan's face, and then he looked at Yi Xuan with a smile, "Remember you promised to help me reach the pinnacle of Martial Dao? If it's just the pinnacle of this planet, then that pinnacle is far too low!"
"It seems that No. 01's training of you has had some effect; at least it taught you what a planet is!"
"Hahaha"
"Hahaha"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to that moment many years ago!
