A few months later.
The capital of the Seer Kingdom.
A grand ceremony was being held.
The greatest king in history, the one who had conquered the entire continent and inherited the bloodline of the Blue Dragon, the immortal Conqueror William, had chosen to pass the throne to his grandson, Lan Bo.
On this day, all the buildings in the Royal Capital were decorated with colorful banners and ribbons. The streets and alleys were bustling with people.
Countless travelers from afar gathered in the squares and streets. Not only did they want to witness this grand event, but they also wanted to enjoy the free food provided by the kingdom.
Soft and delicious white bread, steaming barbecued meat that dripped with grease, large glasses of rum and fruit juice, and all kinds of exquisite pastries were arranged in a buffet format for the citizens to take whatever they wanted.
It had to be said that in this alternate world where productivity was relatively low and miserable, this level of luxury was something that even the nobles of the kingdom could not imagine.
However, compared to the banquet that was going on in the palace, all of this was nothing.
Crystal chandeliers hung high in the air, the gems on them sparkling with colorful light.
In the resplendent palace, the walls and pillars decorated with gold and silver reflected an alluring halo.
In the corner, the choir and the band sang elegant and beautiful music one after another. The elegant nobles drank with each other and occasionally ate the delicacies on the huge dining table.
Caviar, apple pie, cream pudding … and all kinds of delicacies were piled up on the table. The drinks were fine wine, and the soup emitted a rich aroma.
In the center of the dance floor, there were many nobles dancing to the music.
Of course, the focus of everyone's attention was on the late king, William, and Lan Bo, who had just inherited the throne.
Under Wu Ming's instructions, this succession ceremony was not too complicated. It was just that a small crown was placed on little Lan Bo's head under the witness of all the nobles and ministers.
But it was of the highest quality!
A level-8 Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal! The Supreme God had personally crowned him!
Even the Emperor of the Great Chang Empire could not enjoy this glory.
Not to mention, Lan Bo's succession was unanimously recognized and blessed by the Eastern and Western Gods. His throne was as stable as a mountain.
"Grandfather!"
During the break of the banquet, Wu Ming once again met his grandson in a small private room in the palace.
Lan Bo bowed respectfully with a crown on his head. Although his expression was calm, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
Excitement, fear, and a hint of greed …
Even though Lan Bo had tried his best to hide it, Wu Ming could see all of his emotions at a glance.
"Yes, you're already the new King of Seer. There's no need for that!"
However, a King Tier needed these qualities in the first place, so Wu Ming naturally wouldn't fuss over them.
He waved his hand and asked Lambo to stand up. Then, he said casually, "Don't worry. Since I've given up the throne, I don't plan to continue to take power. Later, I'll bring you to meet the generals of the kingdom, as well as the new leaders of the Night Watchers and the Watchers …"
"Grandfather, this country still needs you to continue to steer it!"
Lan Bo was only eighteen or nineteen years old. His golden hair was like burning flames, and his eyes were as blue as the ocean.
Although he was still a little guy, he had grown up in the royal family and had been a vassal for a long time. He could be considered to have experienced the fickleness of human nature.
He suddenly knelt down, and two streams of tears flowed down his face. His eyes were filled with sincerity and admiration.
In fact, he had long planned to be a puppet. He was even prepared to agree to any request the Grand Supreme King made without hesitation.
However, Wu Ming had given him too much, even more than he had imagined.
The transfer of military power, special agents, and extraordinary powers was the true transfer of power.
At this moment, Lan Bo was truly terrified.
"Yes, not bad. I give this acting 90 points!"
When Wu Ming saw this, he laughed inwardly. "Get up! As you know, our world has undergone an anomaly. It's not just the World Annihilation Serpent. Many vast and unknown continents have appeared around us. For example, the Great Chang Empire in the east. Its territory is dozens of times larger than ours! "
"Dozens of times?"
Lan Bo was astonished.
He had grown up in the Seer Continent and had always thought that his kingdom was the center of the entire world, or even the entire universe.
He could not imagine how vast the world outside was. He could not imagine what a country that was dozens of times larger than the Seer Kingdom was like.
"It's not just in the east. In the west, there are also many kingdoms and alliances. Each of them is more powerful than the entire Seer Kingdom …"
Wu Ming continued to add, but in his heart, he said, "Under the circumstances that I'm excluded!"
"I've only just found out that there's such a world outside of the kingdom!?"
Hearing Wu Ming's brief description, Lan Bo bowed and said. There was even a hint of yearning in his eyes. "The title of Conquest King will definitely resound across these two continents!"
He was a young man after all. After being fooled by Wu Ming's words, he immediately revealed some of his true thoughts.
"It's a good plan. However, to catch up to both sides, we still need to work hard. First, we have to learn about technology and extraordinary powers …"
Wu Ming nodded. "I plan to send out exchange students and research teams to both the east and west. The magic and witchcraft systems in the west, as well as the training of knights, are much more complete and profound than ours. Furthermore, there are many technologies worth learning from the east as well. However, while we're changing the kingdom, you have to remember that these things are only for us to use. We're still the ones in charge. Do you understand? "
No matter the time, it was a tragic thing to completely deny one's own advantages and lose one's sense of self.
"I understand!"
Although he did not know why Wu Ming was instructing him in such a serious manner, Lan Bo still nodded solemnly.
Wu Ming looked at this scene, but he sighed in his heart.
After the Seer Continent had fallen, the east and west had taken more than a few hundred years.
Agriculture, industry, livelihood, and light industries were all lagging behind.
As for extraordinary powers, there was no need to mention them.
In the Seer Continent, becoming a witch or a wizard depended on luck. In the west, there were academies and teachers. Citizens who could afford it had to undergo tests to become a wizard or a knight from a young age. From the start, they trained wizards and knight apprentices on a large scale.
Even for the most basic knights, the training methods there were far more advanced and reasonable than in the Seer Continent.
If Lambo and the other nobles of the kingdom knew the truth, it would definitely be a huge blow to them. After their self-esteem was severely damaged, there would usually be two situations. One would be to work hard and catch up, and the other would be to give up and completely deny themselves.
Wu Ming didn't want the Seer Continent to go in such a direction and become a piece of sh * t.
"Very well. Once you're king, you should know what you should do …"
Wu Ming saw that Lan Bo was listening to him and felt gratified. After teaching him the ways of a king, he said, "I'm going to the west. From today onwards, you're the new king of Seer!"
"What?"
Even though he had encountered enough surprises today, Lan Bo could not help but exclaim, "Grandfather, this …"
Wu Ming was now the stabilizing force of the entire Seer Kingdom.
Even though he had abdicated, as long as he was still here, the kingdom would be as safe as Mount Tai. This was not because the other nobles knew about the Great Overarching Golden Immortal, but purely because of his ferocity and the authority he had built up over a long period of time.
If Wu Ming left immediately, even if it was Lan Bo, he would feel very guilty.
Unfortunately, once Wu Ming had made up his mind, how could he change it?
"I've made up my mind!"
Wu Ming smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to persuade me anymore."
Lan Bo shuddered and did not dare to say anything else.
He knew very well how cruel his grandfather was, as well as how tyrannical he was. If he went against his grandfather's orders, he might not even be able to sit firmly on the throne.
Moreover, even though his grandfather's departure could easily cause disloyalty among the nobles in the kingdom, on the bright side, there were no more obstacles for him to monopolize power. It was hard for outsiders to understand this feeling.
…
Wu Ming was a man of action. On the night of his abdication, he left the palace without saying a word to anyone.
Under the night sky, the capital was quiet. Only the palace and the noble avenue beside it were still lit.
"Lan Bo must be so excited that he can't sleep. He must be in his study all night thinking about tomorrow's court meeting."
Wu Ming stood in the clouds and looked down indifferently.
With his current state, he could see the fate of the entire Seer Continent with his naked eye without using any magic.
Traces of purple air currents continuously gathered in the palace, revealing an extraordinary scene. In the middle, there was even a smear of deep purple that was as solid as a boulder.
"This is my appreciation for you!"
Wu Ming saw it, but he smiled slightly.
If it was a normal palace, the succession of the throne would definitely cause some chaos. A few important positions of power would be changed, and this was unavoidable.
After all, if the original officials were not replaced, how could the officials who followed the new emperor ascend to the throne?
If one added in the scheming of ambitious people in the dark, the succession of the throne might be a great purge in the court.
But now, the fate of the entire Seer palace was solid, and there was not the slightest fluctuation. It seemed that Lan Bo would not only be able to sit firmly on the throne, but would also make some achievements.
This was no small matter. The reason for this was Wu Ming's will.
Right now, he was fully deserving of being the ruler of the Seer Continent. Even in the main world, he played an important role.
At the eighth level of the Great Luo realm, he himself was the will of the heavens!
Thus, with his recognition and favor, the fate of the entire palace was naturally solid, and it was enough to do many things.
