Douluo Jueshi: Martial Soul Brain Waves, Telekinesis

Chapter 273 Xu Tianran's Shocking Remarks

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Orange nodded, but still lingered in Lin Qinghan's embrace for a moment before turning and leaving the palace, heading towards the main hall of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace.

Currently, most of the people at the center of power in the Sun Moon Empire are Lin Qinghan's subordinates. The only person who truly holds real power and has not yet been truly controlled by Lin Qinghan is Kong Deming.

Kong Deming had no interest in power and was obsessed with researching soul tools all day long.

Previously, Lin Qinghan had Jing Hongchen give him a blueprint for a level 10 soul tool, and now he is almost finished perfecting his level 10 soul tool.

He was certainly aware of the changes in the Sun Moon Empire's court, but the emperor was still Xu Tianran, only the ministers had been replaced, so he didn't pay much attention to it for the time being.

Of course, given Lin Qinghan's abilities, even if Kong Deming wanted to intervene, he would end up in the same situation as Xu Tianran in no time.

Ju Zi acted quickly. Within ten minutes, using the authority given to her by Lin Qinghan, she ordered Xu Tianran to summon all the ministers currently in the palace to the main hall.

In the main hall of the palace, apart from those who had signed the soul contract, who probably knew what was going on, the other ministers were all puzzled. They wondered why Xu Tianran had summoned them again when the morning court session had just ended.
Moreover, judging from the people gathered here, almost all the ministers who hold real power have come.

Of course, Kong Deming was not among them. As the father of soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire, he held a very high and special position, and even had the right to privately form a legion of soul tool masters.

Therefore, the instructions given by Xu Tianran to Ju Zi did not reach Kong Deming.

"Your Majesty, I am puzzled. The morning court session just ended. What brings you here today?"

The one who spoke was someone who had signed a soul contract with Lin Qinghan. In addition, after Xu Tianran was enslaved by Lin Qinghan, his brutal nature could no longer be displayed, so Xu Tianran's image in the court also changed somewhat.

Things like asking questions in court within reasonable limits are now perfectly acceptable.

This minister raised the same question that most of the ministers present had, but only a few stood up to agree.

"The reason for summoning the ministers this time is to discuss the issue of the throne. I am in poor health and I am afraid I will not live for many more years. However, in the main line of the royal family, besides myself, only my younger sister remains."

Xu Tianran's words, spoken with a hint of weakness, slowly drifted into the ears of the ministers, but the content of his words left them somewhat incredulous.

Judging from what Emperor Xu Tianran said, does he want to abdicate this time?
But how is this possible? !
The same thought arose among the ministers who had not signed a soul contract with Lin Qinghan.

They had all heard about Xu Tianran's deeds, and they knew a little about how ruthless he was in order to inherit the throne.

Before taking power, he colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult and recognized two evil soul masters, Limit Douluo, from the Holy Spirit Cult as his godfather and godmother.

After the old emperor died and Xu Tianran succeeded to the throne, he went even further and carried out another bloody purge of the royal family. The black people who originally represented the nobility in the Sun Moon Empire had been wiped out.

Just as Xu Tianran said, now, besides Xu Tianran, the only one left with genuine royal blood is his younger sister, Xu Tianzhen.

Slaughtering members of the royal family has almost become a tradition in Xu Tianran's family.

When the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's father, took the throne, he also massacred the royal family once. Now, Xu Tianran has wiped out the royal family, leaving only two people. Indeed, members of the royal family have some ways of thinking that are completely incompatible with normal people.

Of course, according to Xu Tianran's original intention, he did not intend to purge the royal family again after taking office; at most, he would settle accounts with his brothers who had competed with him for the throne.

However, they couldn't resist Lin Qinghan's suggestion, which is why the Sun Moon Royal Family ended up in this favorable situation.

After understanding Xu Tianran's meaning, the court officials were in an uproar for a moment, but they only let out a few gasps of surprise.

"Quiet! I have made this decision after careful consideration. I am no longer able to lead the Sun Moon Empire to glory, and I have already chosen a successor to abdicate."

Xu Tianran's additional sentence almost silenced the ministers below the stage.

Xu Tianran not only intends to abdicate, but he has even chosen a specific candidate. Moreover, judging from Xu Tianran's words, the candidate for abdication seems to be none of the royal bloodline.

Even the most outrageous predictions of the ministers were that Xu Tianran would abdicate in favor of his younger sister and recruit a talented young soul master as a son-in-law to the royal family.

If Xu Tianran is truly nearing the end of his life, this seems to be the best solution.

But to everyone's surprise, Xu Tianran seemed to be planning a system of abdication, handing over the millennia-old foundation of the Sun and Moon royal family to an outsider.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't! The foundation of the Sun Moon Empire is not a child's play! How can we just give it away like that!"

There are still some of Xu Tianran's former loyal subordinates in the imperial court. These loyal subordinates of Xu Tianran are not only loyal to Xu Tianran, but also to the Sun Moon Empire.

Now that they see Xu Tianran about to give up his throne, these people naturally want to stand up and oppose it.

"Furthermore, even if Your Majesty is unwell, with the combined strength of the entire Sun Moon Empire, there should be no incurable illness. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. Now let my successor come up."

On the surface, Xu Tianran seemed a little more humane than before, but in reality, under Lin Qinghan's intervention, Xu Tianran had a more thorough grasp of the imperial court than before.

Xu Tianran insisted on his position, even displaying a posture of violent suppression, which silenced the ministers below who held firm opposition.

Seeing that the ministers below had quieted down, Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction, then slowly rose and stood in front of the throne.

"I have decided to abdicate the throne to Lin Qinghan, this unparalleled genius. You are all familiar with the name Lin Qinghan. He has now inherited the position of a god. With his talent, he will definitely be able to inherit the position of a god in the future and lead the Sun Moon Empire to a new era of glory!"

When the topic of divine succession came up, the ministers who had initially wanted to oppose it were immediately shocked.

"As for the issue of royal bloodline, there is no need to worry about that. Lin Qinghan has already promised me that after Lin Qinghan ascends to heaven, the one who will inherit the throne of the Sun and Moon Dynasty will be Lin Qinghan and Xu Tianzhen's child."
