"The Emperor?"
It was Lin Huang's first time hearing that term, but he knew it was a high position.
"The Emperor is the supreme title in Dynasty, but it's not just a title. Instead, it's a leader with real power who controls the highest authority in the entire Dynasty. Including the First to Third Grand Dukes, all the Dukes, Princes, and other members of Dynasty have to listen to him. "
Huang Tianpu explained in detail.
"Then, I don't understand. Why do you guys want to get yourselves a direct superior? Aren't you just looking for trouble? "Lin Huang immediately voiced out his doubts after listening to what he had to say. "Without the Emperor, isn't it better for the First to Third Grand Dukes to be in charge?"
Huang Tianpu forced a smile while shaking his head after hearing what Lin Huang said.
"This has something to do with the establishment of Dynasty and some of the rules of Royal."
"My master, who's also the founder of Dynasty, Mr. Huang Tianyu, was the first Emperor of Dynasty. When he established Dynasty back then, he actually wanted to build a massive empire similar to the Coalition government. The title of Emperor was equivalent to being the king of the empire with the highest authority.
"Since my master was a member of Royal, he needed a massive amount of resources when he established Dynasty. Therefore, he signed an agreement with Royal to make Dynasty an affiliate organization under Royal. Dynasty developed tremendously because of this affiliate organization identity. Soon, we stood out in this gravel world and kept getting more powerful.
"However, there's a problem with the agreement. It's clearly stated that only members of Royal are eligible to inherit the title of Emperor.
"After my master passed away, Royal contacted us and gave us two options since there were no other members of Royal who could inherit the title of Emperor.
"The first option was to break away from Royal and become an independent organization. If we made that choice, we wouldn't receive any resource support from Royal in the future. All the ruins and sites would no longer be open to us. Moreover, Dynasty would have to pay a compensation fee for 500 years to cover the cost of training Royal. The annual fee would be 50% of our annual income.
"The second option was to continue to exist as Royal's affiliate organization. Since there's no Emperor, we can only receive the lowest resource support from Royal. We'll only have the lowest authority in all the ruins and sites. There is another requirement. We must find a member of the Imperial Family to be the new Human Emperor within three hundred years. Once the new Human Emperor takes office, all kinds of resources will be restored according to the Human Emperor's level of authority in the royal family. "
"However, if the new Human Emperor is not found after three hundred years, the royal family will send someone to take over the subsidiary faction. After that, the entire faction will belong to the royal family. All the members and items in the faction will become the private property of the royal family. "
"We have inquired about the definition of private property through some special channels. Once it became private property, it was equivalent to completely losing human rights. It was almost no different from being a slave. Furthermore, since demigods have lost their potential to advance to a certain extent, it's very likely that they'll be marked as slaves and sold to powerhouses in the great worlds … "
After listening to Huang Tianpu's detailed explanation, Lin Huang understood why Huang Tianpu came to him right away.
"So, you chose the second one?"
Huang Tianpu nodded while forcing a smile. "Only an idiot would choose the first option. At that time, we were used to having the support of the royal family. It was hard to imagine what would happen if we lost the support of the royal family. Moreover, we were very confident that we could train a member of the royal family within three hundred years. "
"Never had we thought that we wouldn't even train a member of the royal family when the 300 years were up. Even Huang Wuji, whom we had high hopes for this time, was sent out on the second day of the trial. "
"How much longer until the 300 years?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
"11 more years, but the next Royal Trials will only take place in 100 years. We've lost our chance. "
"Since there are 11 more years, why don't you guys leave Dynasty? If you leave now, do you think they'll come for you one by one 11 years later? "Lin Huang asked.
"We can't leave. As long as we join Dynasty, our identities will be printed on the Royal affiliated organization's register. Since Master passed away, Royal automatically recorded the identity of all the new members who joined Dynasty. As long as we're on the list, the Royal people will definitely be able to find us. It's useless even if we hide at the end of the world. "
"There's only one way to leave Dynasty, and that's to get the Emperor to remove the members from the list with the royal family's authority."
"What if we disband Dynasty directly?" Lin Huang asked again.
"We can't." Huang Tianpu shook his head helplessly. "Dynasty is Royal's affiliated organization, so it belongs to Royal. We can't disband if Royal doesn't agree to it. The Emperor of the affiliated organization will have to submit an application to Royal's headquarters to disband the affiliated organization. "
"So, you guys are killing yourselves." Lin Huang was confused after hearing that.
"There's only one solution now, and that's to find a new Emperor."
"I have a question," Lin Huang thought about it and asked again, "Are you sure that the first Emperor has passed away?"
Huang Tianpu nodded almost without hesitation. "Yes, we've confirmed it. Master went to the great world a few years after breaking through virtual god-level 300 years ago. Less than ten years after he left, Royal sent the news that he had passed away. "
"Did you guys not see the body?"
"There's no body, but I think it's true," Huang Tianpu explained. Huang Tianpu explained, "Royal's identity token is bound to an individual's identity. The token will only be unbound when one passes away. As soon as the token is unbound, Royal will record it down automatically. "
"Do you guys have no other candidates apart from me?" Lin Huang asked rather helplessly.
"No. From what we know, apart from Master, you're the second person in the gravel world to obtain Royal's identity throughout the past 500 years. This is the only time someone from the Royal Family contacted us and told us that you passed the Royal Trials. "
"What if I reject the position?" Lin Huang raised his brow and asked, "Are the both of you going to kidnap me by force? Are you going to force me to be the Emperor? "
"I'd like to do that," Huang Tufu mumbled softly.
"If you reject it, we'll stay by your side until you agree." Huang Tianpu smiled lightly. "We'll follow you wherever you go, including when you go to the toilet, shower, and sleep. We'll stay by your side to show you our sincerity."
"Isn't that acting like a gangster?" Lin Huang was speechless.
Huang Tianpu then said in all seriousness after the joke, "We really have no other choice. If you don't like our style and way of doing things, we can implement a reform in the entire organization. Although it's impossible for us to be as clean as the Coalition government and the Hunters' Association, it shouldn't be a problem for us to be as neutral as the heretics. We can guarantee that we'll cooperate with you fully to transform Dynasty into a brand new one. "
Lin Huang was really tempted to hear what Huang Tianpu said. He had always wanted to build his own organization. Although the Dynasty that came to him was different from what he expected, taking over Dynasty was the fastest way to fight God Bless. Moreover, with his identity as Royal, it was unlikely that the people from Dynasty would betray him.
As for building an organization that truly belonged to him, he could start by building a core circle within Dynasty. It would not be too late for him to become independent from Dynasty when the circle was developed. Meanwhile, he could develop his core circle with the help of Dynasty's resources and connections.
"Since you guys are so honest, there's something that I won't hide from you guys. I'm planning to go to the great world after I break through to imperial-level. If I'm quick, I might leave this year. Even if I'm slow, I'll leave next year. Therefore, if you guys let me be the Emperor, we'll soon face the situation where there won't be a Emperor, "Lin Huang told them his plan honestly.
"Don't worry about that. As long as the Emperor's alive, it doesn't matter whether he's in our gravel world or not. Moreover, you can set up an agent before you leave and give part of your authority to the agent. By then, you can let the agent handle anything that involves authority. For the sake of safety, I'll bring a couple of demigods with you when the time comes to go to the great world. "Huang Tianpu seemed to have considered all the issues.
"If that's the case, I'll agree to be the Emperor." Lin Huang finally nodded. "I'm a lazy man, so I won't interfere with your management too much. However, I'll supervise the reform that you guys promised me. Moreover, I'd like to see results. "
"Don't worry about us. You're welcome to supervise us." Huang Tianpu finally revealed a smile of relief on his face. Even Huang Tufu, who was standing aside, was greatly relieved to see that Lin Huang had agreed to it.
"Master Emperor, do you want to keep a high profile or keep a low profile during the inauguration ceremony?" Huang Tianpu changed his mind right away after Lin Huang agreed to it.
"Let's keep a low profile. Only Dynasty knows about it. There's no need for everyone to know about it."
"It's already the 26th of July today. Why don't we set it on the 1st of August? It's a great day. "Huang Tianpu even decided on the date.
"So soon?" Lin Huang was not mentally prepared.
"If we keep a low profile, we won't have to inform the public. We'll just decorate the headquarters. It won't take long." Huang Tianpu said while smiling, "You don't have to prepare anything. We'll prepare everything for you. If you have guests, just tell us their names and contact details. There'll be people to take care of them when they arrive in Division 1. As for you, you don't have to stay in this hotel all the time. You can do whatever you want and go wherever you want. All you have to do is send me the location a day in advance. I'll pick you up then. "
"Alright then. Just make the arrangements." Lin Huang could not help but secretly exclaim at Huang Tianpu's arrangement as he listened to Huang Tianpu's arrangement. He arranged everything flawlessly and was an all-around talented butler.
"Master Emperor, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll make the arrangements now." Huang Tianpu stood up after speaking and turned his head to speak to Huang Tufu next to him, "You can stay in the room next to Master Emperor. Protect Master Emperor for the next few days."
"Master Emperor, just pretend that you can't see him. He'll only follow you when you're out. He won't disturb you if you don't order him to during other times."
"There's no need for that. Just do what you need to do. Since I've agreed to it, I definitely won't slip away. "Lin Huang shook his head and smiled.
"It's my honor to protect Master Emperor," Huang Tufu agreed to it.
Since Huang Tufu said that, Lin Huang did not reject it anymore.
Huang Tianpu soon summoned a dimensional portal and left. Meanwhile, Huang Tufu did not stay in Lin Huang's room. Instead, he returned to the room next door.
Xiao Mo only returned to the living room from the balcony after the duo left. He began asking about the duo curiously.
