No one can predict his future.
He might even become the first being in nearly a thousand years on the mainland to break through level 100 and ascend to godhood!
If such a person cannot be used by the empire, then he will inevitably become the empire's greatest threat!
At the same moment, the Blood Night Emperor's heart was also stirred by a monstrous wave.
But he was, after all, the ruler of a country. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his composure.
He leaned back on the dragon throne, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrests, producing rhythmic muffled sounds.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
He thought of the empire suffocating under the weight of the Martial Soul Disease, and of the Star Luo Empire, which was eyeing him covetously.
He thought of his good-for-nothing sons, and even more so of his younger brother who had been easily killed by the mysterious powerful figure.
The Tian Dou Empire desperately needs a true strongman to take charge!
A pillar that can deter villains, resist martial spirits, and make the empire stand at the top of the continent!
And the nineteen-year-old titled Douluo in front of us, Su Xin, is the best candidate!
No! He's the only one!
We must recruit him into the Empire's camp at all costs!
Emperor Blood Night slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the trembling civil and military officials below, and spoke in a deep voice.
"This child is like a celestial unicorn descended to the mortal realm."
"I wish to recruit them and make them serve my Heavenly Bean Empire."
"My beloved ministers, do you have any good ideas?"
After he finished speaking, the hall remained deathly silent.
Faced with a monster who can kill a level 95 Thunder Fighter Girl at the age of nineteen, who dares to have any good strategies?
If any plan goes wrong and displeases that lord, who might then storm the palace with a knife? Who could stop him?
When that happens, those who came up with the idea will probably be the first to have their heads chopped off.
Looking down at the group of cowardly turtles, a hint of disappointment flashed through the Blood Night Emperor's heart.
In critical moments, you still have to rely on your own people.
"Golong, you tell us."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What people seek is nothing more than fame, fortune, power, lust, and... cultivation resources."
"This Mr. Su achieved the title of Title Douluo at the age of nineteen, truly the number one genius in ten thousand years on the continent."
"Such a person is proud and arrogant, and ordinary rewards are probably not enough to catch his eye."
"If you want to recruit them, you must offer them great benefits and show the utmost sincerity of my Heavenly Bean Empire!"
The Blood Night Emperor nodded, signaling him to continue.
"Your humble servant dares to speak!"
"First, we must declare to the entire continent that the Blue Electric Tyrant Clan has long harbored rebellious intentions!"
"Mr. Su's slaying of Yu Yuanzhen today is a great act of eliminating treacherous officials and executing a national traitor! This is an immeasurable achievement!"
Golong's words sent chills down the spines of all the ministers present.
This Marshal Long is too ruthless!
They immediately accused Lan Dian Ba Wang Zong of treason!
Yu Yuanzhen had barely died, his body still warm, yet he was already determined to crush the entire Blue Electric Overlord Sect into the mud, ensuring they would never rise again.
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Blood Night Emperor.
"Okay! Well said!"
"My dear minister, continue. How should we reward you?"
Marshal Ge Long, seeing that Emperor Xue Ye had no objection, felt reassured and continued:
"To demonstrate His Majesty's high regard for heroes."
"Your humble servant believes that a luxurious mansion, a thousand beautiful maids, and one hundred million gold coins should be bestowed upon you."
"Furthermore, select the most precious ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from the royal treasury and bestow it upon them as a reward!"
As soon as Marshal Ge Long finished speaking, another collective gasp filled the hall.
This is... such a huge undertaking!
A thousand maids and a hundred million gold soul coins! This is practically wealthier than a country!
The most outrageous thing is that they will also be rewarded with a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!
Throughout the entire continent, countless Soul Masters spend their entire lives without ever seeing a single Soul Bone.
In the royal treasury, there are only a few pieces of ancient soul bones, which are national treasures that successive emperors risked their lives to obtain.
Now, you're actually going to take out a piece and give it as a reward to an outsider?
All the ministers thought that Marshal Goron had gone mad.
However, what Marshal Goron said next made their eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
"Your Majesty, these are merely 'profits'."
"For a peerless genius like Mr. Su..."
"These material possessions are probably not enough to truly move him."
"Your humble servant suggests that Mr. Su Xin be conferred the title of Protector of the Heavenly Bean Empire, with a status equivalent to that of a prince."
"Furthermore... Princess Xueke has also turned eighteen this year, and has blossomed into a beauty of unparalleled grace..."
"If we could betroth the princess to Mr. Su, it would surely give him a greater sense of belonging to the empire!"
At that moment, all the ministers had only these two words on their minds.
He was granted the title of Prince and betrothed to a princess!
This is fucking like they're treating Su Xin like an ancestor!
Once all these conditions are met.
Wouldn't Su Xin's status in the Tian Dou Empire rise to the top in one leap, allowing him to sit on equal footing with His Majesty?
This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Immediately, voices of opposition rose and fell.
"No! Absolutely not, Your Majesty!"
"Marshal Gelong is mistaken! Even if Su Xin is powerful, how can he be compared to my royal bloodline?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! To marry the princess to him is an insult to the dignity of our royal family!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Emperor Blood Night looked at the excited ministers below, but his face remained expressionless.
Is this an insult to the dignity of the royal family?
When one's own younger brother, Prince Blood Star, is killed without warning, where is the dignity of the royal family?
He thought of the Pope with the Martial Soul, and his haughty attitude every time he saw him.
Where was the emperor's dignity at that time?
In the face of absolute power, so-called dignity is nothing but a joke!
Thinking of this, Emperor Blood Night slammed his hand on the dragon throne, making a loud noise!
"Shut up, everyone!"
"I approve of Marshal Ge Long's suggestion!"
"Su Xin is hereby conferred the title of 'Heavenly Might King' of our Heavenly Bean Empire! His status is equivalent to that of a monarch!"
"Since Xue Ke has reached marriageable age, then let her be betrothed to King Tianwei!"
"Whether I become a wife or a concubine is entirely up to the Heavenly King's will!"
"Your Majesty...is wise!"
Someone was the first to react, and shouted in a trembling voice.
Immediately afterwards, all the ministers knelt down like a tidal wave.
"Your Majesty is wise!!!"
The Blood Night Emperor looked down at the officials who had submitted to him and nodded in satisfaction.
Then his gaze fell on Prince Xue Qinghe, who stood at the very front and remained silent.
"My son is here."
Xue Qinghe stepped out of the queue, bowed to Emperor Xueye with an elegant and impeccable posture.
"To demonstrate the sincerity of my Heavenly Bean Empire, this matter will be handled by you and Marshal Ge Long together."
"We must make sure that this Heavenly King feels the sincerity of our Heavenly Bean Empire, and that he will willingly serve the empire!"
"Can you do it?"
Xue Qinghe raised his head, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face.
"Please rest assured, Father."
"Your subject will certainly not fail in your mission!"
