Chapter 904: Chapter 854: Life Simulation – A Whiff of Wind Makes the Crane Flinch; Everyone Feels Insecure

As the newly ascended emperor, he was filled with ambition and grand aspirations. He had yet to face any setbacks, and his heart harbored an attitude of supreme egotism.

Thus, when presented with such a proposition initially, the new emperor instantly and decisively refused. He couldn’t possibly agree to such terms, as he considered them a humiliation.

However, reality is often a harsh blow. Years into his reign, the new emperor hadn’t achieved control over Dahong as effortlessly as he had imagined. Instead, he faced dilemmas both domestic and foreign. Edicts struggled to make their way out of the royal capital, and even his own status faced tremendous threats.

“As long as I can suppress the rebels throughout the land and regain control of Dahong, what I give up today can certainly be reclaimed one day,” the new emperor thought, filled with wild ambition.

He was unwilling to relinquish the power in his hands, far less to be overthrown or to lose his life. What did it matter if he refused to cooperate with others? Should he die, and the world fall into the hands of other lords, its safety could not be guaranteed.

Better that I do it than others, he resolved. His cooperation was feigned, waiting for the right moment when he would rule the land alone. At that time, he could likewise seize back the privileges he had conceded.

The Star Moon Temple was a renowned power in these realms, hosting three Martial Artists of the Twelfth Realm in the Twelve-Floor Tower within its ranks. In addition to the two leaders of the Star Temple and Moon Temple, there was a mysterious Lord of Gods who was considered one of the top ten powerhouses within the Twelve-Floor Tower across Heaven and Earth.
