Zi Shuang, who was following behind Yang Xuan, remained silent. No one had seen her before and thought she was Yang Xuan's woman, so they didn't dare to ask and treated her with respect.
Yang Xuan didn't explain. The more he explained, the more confused he would become. Plus, he didn't want anyone to know Zi Shuang's identity, so he just let them guess.
After entering the Imperial Court Star, Yang Xuan was mentally prepared, but when he saw the Holy Emperor's Palace, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The previous Imperial Court Star was already large enough to rival a large city.
The newly built Holy Emperor's Palace took up almost a quarter of the Imperial Court Star.
Could you imagine the shocking scene of one side of the planet being filled with magnificent buildings?
Yang Xuan estimated that if it weren't for his cultivation, it would take him half a day to fly from one side of the Holy Emperor's Palace to the other.
"Whose idea was this?" Yang Xuan asked.
Zhang Zhong Yang smiled. "It was this old man's idea. A new Emperor has ascended the throne, so there should be a new atmosphere."
Since it was Zhang Zhong Yang's idea, Yang Xuan didn't say anything. He could only say, "Don't be so extravagant in the future."
After entering the Holy Emperor's Palace, the most majestic building was the Holy Emperor's Palace. To put it bluntly, it was Yang Xuan's office.
The decorations inside weren't very luxurious, but it exuded a dignified and majestic atmosphere, which satisfied Yang Xuan.
There was a huge dragon throne on the north side of the palace. Needless to say, that was Yang Xuan's seat.
Yang Xuan didn't decline and sat down.
In fact, other than him, no one else dared to sit on this throne.
After he sat down, Zhang Zhong Yang and the other officials knelt and kowtowed again. After a while, they finally got to the main topic.
First, Zhang Zhong Yang gave a brief report on the Human Race's development. In short, everything was normal.
Following which, the others began to report on the tasks they were in charge of. Yang Xuan patiently listened until the end, and made some directives for certain matters.
Even though Yang Xuan tried his best to simplify things, it still took him four to five hours. This made Yang Xuan feel that it was not easy to be an emperor.
After the court assembly, everyone dispersed except for Zhang Zhongyang.
At this moment, the two of them were already in the Sacred Study. Yang Xuan casually flipped through the books that he had never seen before while saying, "I'm about to embark on a long journey. I'll need you to take care of the matters related to the Human Race."
Zhang Zhongyang bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Right now, Your Majesty's holy name is like the sun in the sky. Tens of thousands of races have come to pay homage to you. Not only has the Heavenly Qin Clan formed an alliance with us, but even the Demigod Clan and Sirius have sent people to express their intentions of forming an alliance."
"Sirius also has the intention of forming an alliance?" Yang Xuan asked curiously.
"Yes, not long ago, the Great Elder of Sirius sent someone to send a letter of intent to form an alliance. I was just about to ask Your Majesty to make a decision," Zhang Zhongyang said.
The matter between Yang Xuan and Sirius was now known to everyone. Zhang Zhongyang really could not make a decision on whether to form an alliance with Sirius.
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "It's fine. I'll just accept it."
Sirius was just going with the flow. They were afraid that Yang Xuan would turn around and cause trouble for them, so they decided to strike first to gain the upper hand. If they formed an alliance with Yang Xuan first, Yang Xuan would be too embarrassed to attack them.
In fact, Yang Xuan had no intention of settling scores with them in the first place, so they could rest assured.
Zhang Zhongyang responded and said, "Your Majesty, there's one more thing."
Yang Xuan asked, "What is it?"
"Your Majesty, now that the world is settled, it's time to consider the matter of the successor," Zhang Zhongyang said respectfully.
Although these words sounded somewhat rebellious, Yang Xuan could understand.
Historically, when a dynasty was replaced, the first thing to consider was the matter of the successor. This way, even if something happened to the Emperor, the world would not fall into chaos. It was still applicable to the entire human race.
Although Yang Xuan was present and the world was at peace, this was built on the basis of Yang Xuan's power. If something happened to him or if he did not return for a long time, there would be no successor. There would always be some ambitious people who would jump out and cause trouble. From this point of view, Zhang Zhongyang's suggestion was reasonable.
However, where would Yang Xuan find a successor at the moment? He was in a dilemma.
In the end, he could only helplessly say, "We'll talk about this later."
Zhang Zhongyang was only reminding Yang Xuan and did not insist that he immediately choose a successor. He immediately bowed and left.
That night, Yang Xuan stayed at the Holy Emperor Palace. Zi Shuang was also properly settled, and he did not show any impatience.
He could wait for ten thousand years, so there was no hurry.
Yang Xuan stayed on the Imperial Court Planet for a few days and dealt with specific government affairs. In the end, he realized that this job was not suitable for him at all.
Although his cultivation was extremely high, when it came to handling government affairs, he was no different from a primary school student.
Fortunately, he had Zhang Zhongyang to help him, so he did not make a fool of himself.
In the end, Yang Xuan could not help but sigh. The Emperor's job was really not for humans.
At the same time, this also strengthened his determination to find a successor as soon as possible.
A few days later, Yang Xuan left the Imperial Court Planet with Zi Shuang, then left the human race's Star Domain and headed straight for the Heiyun Star Domain.
Along the way, Zi Shuang introduced the current political structure of the Heiyun people to him, giving him a preliminary understanding.
It could be said that the current Heiyun people's imperial family, apart from a few old fellows who had lived in seclusion, had all been taken over by splits. This situation was extremely dangerous for Zi Shuang. If she did not think of a way to change this situation, perhaps the entire Heiyun people would secretly change.
After hearing this, Yang Xuan asked, "Have you ever thought about something? If your father, Heiyun The Great, is already dead, what would you do?"
Zi Shuang's eyes were filled with sorrow. "If that's really the case, I'll replace him and become the new Heiyun The Great, allowing the Heiyun people to continue living."
Yang Xuan asked again, "Then have you ever thought that if the Heiyun imperial family is all dead and only splits are left, I'll definitely go there to kill people. If I kill them all, won't the Heiyun imperial family be wiped out?"
Zi Shuang clearly had not thought about this problem. Her face was filled with despair. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if the Heiyun imperial family is wiped out, even if the last person dies, I can't let it fall into the hands of the splits. If that's really the case, I'd rather die with them."
Her voice was not loud, but it was abnormally decisive, showing her determination.
Yang Xuan felt some admiration for her. Ordinary women would not be so decisive.
However, thinking about it, if Zi Shuang did not have such decisiveness, she would not have secretly developed such a large force and used such methods to lure Yang Xuan into her trap.
Ordinary people would not be able to imagine all these methods and considerations.
"The situation might not be that bad." Yang Xuan thought for a while and said, "Actually, even if the Heiyun imperial family is wiped out and you're the only one left, I can still ensure that Heiyun will not be wiped out. It's just a matter of time."
Zi Shuang looked grateful and whispered, "Thank you!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. Don't forget our agreement. Maybe I'll still take your life in the end."
Zi Shuang was not surprised at all. She lowered her head and said, "I know. If you still want me to die in the end, I only have one request."
Yang Xuan looked at her and asked, "What is it?"
Zi Shuang said seriously, "Please merge the Heiyun people into the human race. Don't let them disappear in the starry sky."
Yang Xuan laughed and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Zi Shuang seemed to have finally let go of the stone in her heart. She turned and said sweetly, "My Lord, the Heiyun people have arrived."
Yang Xuan turned his head and looked. The vast Heiyun galaxy was quietly hovering in the distant starry sky. It was quiet, like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open.
