Fang Xingchen's gaze became even more numb. At this moment, he understood that he no longer had any hope of seeking revenge in this lifetime. However, there was still a hint of unwillingness in his heart.
'Both my parents died in your hands. Although I won't be able to take revenge, the Holy See of Truth might be able to. ' He kept on thinking, 'The Church will definitely not sit by and watch the two Guardian Kings being killed. No matter what, they're the number one influence in the world that has been around for thousands or even ten thousand years. They also have over ten Guardian Kings like Death-Revealing Heavenly Eyes...'
The others were already numb from the shock. Their mouths were agape as they fell silent.
Only the First Prince let out a bitter laugh and sighed, "Fang Xingjian, are you going to make an enemy out of the Holy See of Truth?"
"I'll make a trip to the Church sooner or later," Fang Xingjian said.
It was true that he would make a trip to the Church. The Purple Mage King had brought about changes to his body, and his thoughts and heart seemed to have gone through a completely different change. Moreover, the memories that would occasionally appear in his mind made him filled with curiosity toward his past.
His mother's death, the black-clothed man who had taken his mother away and bestowed him with the purple flames, the purple flames that had given him the world's best sword arts talent, and the black-clothed man's final warning...
All the secrets seemed to be in the north, in the Church.
'But after this matter is settled, I should return to Earth and investigate the things that happened to me when I was young before heading to the Church. '
The thoughts in his mind did not affect Fang Xingjian's actions. He threw a glance at the First Prince and said slowly, "The Krieg royal family has suffered a great blow and the Imperial Capital has been destroyed. The Empire is in dire need of a new leader."
Sweeping his gaze across everyone, Fang Xingjian said slowly, "I see that the Second Prince's son, Charlot, has been intelligent and virtuous since young. He has the bearing of the Holy Lord. "Why don't we let him inherit the throne and rule over the Empire?"
Everyone fell silent. How could anyone possibly object to Fang Xingjian? The huge palm in the sky was still faintly discernible, and the two Guardian Kings had just exploded on the spot.
At the sight of this scene, the First Prince let out a cold snort inwardly, 'Fang Xingjian, although you're unrivalled, our Krieg clan has been operating in the Empire's eight regions for over 200 years. The royal family's prestige is deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
The knighthood system and the academy system had been developed for many years. How many experts in the Empire did not come from the major knight academies of the Empire?
It won't be easy for you to plot against my clan's foundation in such a tyrannical manner.
Which one of the people present isn't a Governor, Regional Governor, military instructor, deacon, or other Knight officials of the Empire? They have received the Empire's favor for generations. How can they possibly submit to just a few words from you?
Without my cooperation, it would probably take you three to five years to take over the entire empire. "
However, the First Prince still thought too highly of the moral integrity of everyone, especially the politicians. In the past, the loyalty and patriotism that countless people had displayed before him was only when the Krieg royal family was in a strong and prosperous state.
As the saying goes, 'A good man chooses a tree to perch on, and when a wall is down, everyone gives it a push'. This kind of thing was too easy for the imperial officials and knighted knights. The internal strife between the aristocrats and factions in the Empire had always been extremely dark and despicable. For the sake of personal benefits, people would always lower their limits time and time again.
Not only was there no one who objected, but the moment Fang Xingjian said this, someone even dashed out and started to speak for him.
The Beast God who had come from the Eastern Sand Region abruptly stepped out and dropped to the ground.
This Demigod with four tiers of perfection was an expert who had traveled the world in order to strive for the Divine level. Previously, a large part of his body had been eaten up by the Evil God Tribe's warriors, and he had then survived thanks to Darkness' Aberration's protection.
Right now, he appeared to be in an extremely miserable state. His entire body was emaciated, and his body, which had just been regenerated, seemed like it would break down at any moment.
He was the first to drop to his knees and say anxiously, "Grandmaster is right. However, although the Prince is wise, he's still young. Now that the Empire's core has been destroyed, we still need an expert who is well-versed in both the civil and military affairs, as well as a person who can shake the world, to stabilize the country's destiny and assist the Prince."
"That's right!" Another person stepped out. This person was Charlie.
Charlie could be said to be the first enemy at the level of a Conferred Knight that Fang Xingjian had encountered. He had once interrogated Fang Xingjian alone in Kirst Regional Academy. Back then, Fang Xingjian had merely been an apprentice and had been injured by Charlie. In the end, Charlie had been impeached and sent to the southern borders.
Thereafter, he had made a deal with Fang Xingjian and imparted him with the Effulgence Weapon, thus avoiding the fate of being sent to the borders.
In the past, Charlie had been able to suppress Fang Xingjian when he had been an apprentice. However, the current Fang Xingjian had become an existence that Charlie could only look up to.
Right now, Charlie was already a level 25 Conferred Knight, and it had not been easy for him to survive this great calamity.
For the past few years, because he had offended Fang Xingjian, he had lost almost all of his resources.
This time around, the Imperial Capital had been destroyed, and most of the central upper echelon had died. Furthermore, Fang Xingjian had displayed abilities that could allow him to become the Empire's guardian. To Charlie, this was a great opportunity.
However, he had not expected that the Beast God would be one step ahead of him. Therefore, he could only be the second one to step forward.
However, he did not have the time to think so much. Right now, he only wanted to make use of this opportunity to lick Fang Xingjian's boots unconditionally. On one hand, he hoped that Fang Xingjian would be able to forgive him, and on the other hand, he hoped that he would be able to take a bite out of the pie that would decide the distribution of power in the new Empire.
Charlie dropped to his knees and shouted loudly, "In this world, only Lord Fang Xingjian can shoulder everyone's burden. The rise and fall of the world, the rise and fall of the Empire, will all be decided by you."
Just as Charlie came out and dropped to his knees, another white-haired old man walked out.
Yue Shan's brows twitched. "Blitz, this is the Royal Knight Association's Chief."
The Royal Knight Association was an organization set up by the Empire's royal family to take charge of all conferred Knights in the world. It could be said to be the Empire's most violent organization.
Each generation's Association Chief was either a member of the royal family or a relative of the royal family.
It was the same for this old man by the name of Blitz. His wife was a princess from the previous generation, a standard relative of the royal family.
He lowered his head and said with great respect, "Master Fang, please don't reject us. Now that the Empire is in danger and Prince Charlot is still young, only Master Fang can become the pillar that holds up the sky and save the country from collapse. "Please step forward and temporarily take on the role of the Imperial Preceptor. Only then will the Empire be free of worries."
The position of the Empire's Imperial Preceptor had been abolished by the Emperor over 100 years ago, and all of the authority had been transferred to the Emperor.
However, now that the Royal Knight Association's Chief had brought it up, everyone responded. Many Governors, Regional Chiefs, department heads, and National Academy's senior professors all stood out, earnestly persuading Fang Xingjian to take on the role of the Imperial Preceptor. It was as if it would be the wrath of the heavens and the people if Fang Xingjian did not take on the position.
When the First Prince saw this scene, his countenance turned grim, and he felt great hatred. Compared to Fang Xingjian, he hated these former officials even more. Especially when he saw that even the Association's Chief had stepped out, he was so infuriated that he almost killed someone.
"Rebels and traitors! All of you are rebels! All of you deserve to die horrible deaths! Our Krieg Clan's empire has been destroyed by you guys just like that! "
