Star Luo Empire, Gengjin City, inside the imperial palace.

Dai Mubai stood in front of the mirror, looking at the boy in the mirror whom he had not seen for a long time, and remained silent.

When was the last time you saw him? It was probably six years ago...

After arranging his collar and cuffs, Dai Mubai buttoned each button firmly.

Although he had not worn this set of clothes for many years, Dai Mubai once again put on this set of splendid clothes that symbolized the status of the royal family, and he did not feel a trace of awkwardness, as if he had never left here.

Looking at the neatly dressed, noble, confident man in the mirror, Dai Mubai took a deep breath.

It has been several days since he returned to Gengjin City. In these days, the news that he defeated Davis has spread among the ministers of Xingluo. Many ministers have even sent envoys to express their goodwill to him.

Signal.

This is not a strange thing. After all, in the Star Luo Empire, the only condition for deciding a successor is to defeat all competitors.

The means of defeating opponents is never limited to hard strength. Sometimes, uniting forces other than oneself is also a way.

As long as the emperor allows it.

However, in the face of the overtures from many ministers, Dai Mubai did not respond immediately. He was waiting for someone to summon him.

This morning, news finally came that the man had finally summoned his prince, who had not returned for a long time.

After adjusting himself, Dai Mubai took care of his clothes for the last time, stepped out of the house where he had lived for several days.

Opening the door, Dai Mubai saw a waiter half-kneeling outside and waiting.

When the waiter saw Dai Mubai coming out, he immediately saluted with respect on his face: "Your Highness, please follow me."

After Dai Mubai nodded, the waiter stood up and led the way.

Following the waiter, Dai Mubai walked towards the depths of the palace.

In fact, he was no stranger to this palace, but he still followed the waiter, walking at a neither fast nor slow pace.

In the Star Luo Empire, a cruel and indifferent system permeates the empire. Not only does it adhere to cruel selection competition, but there is also a division of labor that is so strict that it is almost terrifying.

It seems that after everyone is born, unless something unexpected happens when they are six years old, they are responsible for an unchangeable division of labor and work.

Everyone is a cog in the operation of the terrifying behemoth Xingluo, and there must be no slack or neglect.

Any part that cannot function will be swallowed up as nutrients for the movement of the giant beast.

Therefore, if Dai Mubai does not accept the guidance of this waiter, then this waiter will be a useless part, waiting for him...

Therefore, Dai Mubai did not pass the waiter, but followed him towards the great hall that he was once very afraid of.

Finally, the waiter stopped in front of a closed door, walked sideways to Dai Mubai, and half-knelt on the ground again:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."

Nodding, Dai Mubai pressed his hands on the heavy palace door and began to exert force. The door slowly opened as Dai Mubai's arm muscles gradually tightened.

This deep palace hall in the Xingluo Palace was said to have been established by a Xingluo emperor many years ago, who specially sent people to build this heavy and difficult-to-open door.

The purpose is to test the strength of all comers.

The weak are not worthy to enter.

These are the rules set by that emperor and passed down from generation to generation.

Only the royal family and ministers of Xingluo are qualified to try to open this door.

"Buzz..."

The heavy door opened, and the waiter lowered his head and stared closely at the carpet under him, not daring to let his eyes move in the slightest, for fear that he would see something he was not qualified to see.

Without looking at the cautious waiter behind him, Dai Mubai walked into the hall.

After Dai Mubai entered, the door behind him seemed to be affected by some mechanism and slowly closed.

There is a long walkway in the main hall, leading to the high wall at the far end that depicts a huge map of the mountains, rivers, cities, and directions of the continent.

On both sides of the corridor, there are various weapons, giant beasts and clan emblems.

Dai Mubai knew that these were symbols of the power of the major families in Star Luo.

And the symbol of the Star Luo royal family...

Dai Mubai's gaze moved upward slightly, and he saw the huge, ferocious and cruel white tiger on the top of the hall, with its bloody mouth open. Its claws and sharp teeth controlled every symbol of the Xingluo family below.

Taking a deep breath, Dai Mubai finally looked straight at the blond man standing in front of the high wall of the map with his back to him.

Although the man's position was so eye-catching and his figure was so tall, Dai Mubai still did not dare to look directly at him after entering the hall.

It wasn't until he relived the environment in this hall that Dai Mubai mustered up the courage to look at him, the controller of this empire.

Slowly walking behind the man, Dai Mubai bowed slightly, put his left hand on his chest, and performed a courtesy that was exclusive to their Xingluo royal family.

"Dai Mubai meets Your Majesty."

Although the man in front of him was his biological father, Dai Mubai, no, it should be said that every prince in the empire did not dare to call him his father.

All the princes only dared to call him "Your Majesty" with reverence, and like other people in the empire, they did not dare to overstep or even get close to him in the slightest.

Although the sun was in the sky at this moment, although this hall had many light-transmitting windows, and although there was a lot of sunlight shining into this hall, it seemed that because of this man, there was no warmth in Dai Mubai's heart at this moment.

There was even some chills all over the body.

"Now that you're back, are you ready?"

The man with blond hair above his shoulders turned around, looked away from the map, and looked at Dai Mubai, who was saluting him, without any warmth in his voice.

It should be said that this man is worthy of being Dai Mubai's biological father. He has blond hair as bright as the sun, clear and tough outlines, and masculine and handsome facial features.

However, although this man's appearance and facial features are not much different from Dai Mubai's, they give people a completely different feeling.

And the reason for this is the man's extremely cold eyes, without a trace of emotion, and his facial expression that is so cold that it doesn't seem to change at all.

The controller of the Star Luo Empire seemed to have wiped out all his emotions when he ascended the throne, no, even before he ascended the throne. He controlled the iron and blood with a terrifying will that could not stop the destruction, and tore down the previous emperor of the empire.

The supreme throne controls everything in the empire.

"Yes, Erchen is already ready. When I come back this time, I have no intention of leaving again. Erchen has things he wants to achieve."

Taking courage, Dai Mubai has now completed his transformation. Even though there is still lingering fear in his heart, he will not escape again.

He has learned to face his fear and try to conquer it!

"Say it." The emperor's words were as cold and brief as ever.

"My son wants to change the order of the empire."

Clenching his teeth tightly, Dai Mubai suppressed his heart that was about to beat out of his chest and expressed his thoughts in an almost growl.

For a moment, in Dai Mubai's perception, time seemed to have stopped after he said these words.

Under the emperor's gaze, he felt as if his body temperature was escaping from him.

There was no trace of warmth or emotion in those eyes, and the frowning look was like looking at a part that was about to be separated from a machine.

Endless chills rose in Dai Mubai's heart, but he bit his tongue and used the pain to force himself not to collapse under the emperor's gaze and look directly into those cold eyes.

"The emperor is the embodiment of the highest will of the Star Luo Empire and the founder of the Star Luo order. It's good that you have the idea of ​​creating a new order, but I won't allow it."

"Because what you want to change is my will."

"If you want to change the existing order of the empire, it's very simple. Follow my rules, try to use your 'power' to tear me off the throne, and then rule the empire according to your will."

"Otherwise, my will will not waver at all, and the order of Xingluo will not change at all."

Looking directly into the emperor's eyes, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and listened to every word of the emperor.

He understood what the emperor meant, and this was the answer he wanted.

This is a tacit approval of his behavior and ideas, and it also means that he can try to respond to the ministers who are showing favor to him.

Rule them with your own will.

Although the ministers would show their favor to the prince, they would do so with the emperor's tacit approval.

In Xingluo, no one can go against the emperor's will.

Since the emperor did not execute him for his rebellious words, Dai Mubai knew that he could accumulate strength.

Looking at the boy in front of him who did not look away even though his body was shaking a little, the emperor put his hands behind his back and turned to look at the map on the high wall again.

"Since you defeated Davis, you will replace him as the crown prince of the empire, but before or even after taking the throne, you must be prepared to be challenged unless all challengers are eliminated."

"Only the strongest can survive in the empire."

"yes!"

"And your princess, I will choose a suitable woman for you from the Zhu family again."

"...Yes, I understand..."
