Chapter 99: Xue Lingxiao Ascends the Throne, Heavenly Dou Shakes
Faced with Qian Renxue's enormous temptation, which was practically offering up the entire Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Lingxiao's face remained calm and composed.

His deep eyes gazed calmly at Qian Renxue, as if watching a drama that had nothing to do with him.

Qian Renxue felt a little uneasy under his gaze. She wondered what her deep-thinking younger brother was thinking at that moment.

She has laid bare her utmost sincerity, even to the point of risking everything.

After a moment, Xue Lingxiao finally spoke slowly, her voice tinged with amusement: "Since elder sister has put it this way, if Lingxiao were to refuse again, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

The tension deep in Qian Renxue's eyes finally dissipated completely.

She knew that Xue Lingxiao would never refuse such an opportunity!
"Good! Lingxiao, with your words, I can rest assured!" Qian Renxue's voice trembled slightly. "Let's make arrangements immediately!"

She acted decisively and efficiently, without any hesitation.

Almost the instant Xue Lingxiao nodded, Qian Renxue swiftly relayed a series of instructions.

At the same time, a "last will and testament" that had been prepared in advance, with ink still fresh, appeared in her hands.

The will was very simple: "On this snowy night, I, the Emperor, am ill and feel that my days are numbered. I fear that the Tiandou Empire will be without a successor, which will lead to turmoil in the country and suffering for all the people."

Therefore, it is hereby decided that the throne shall be passed to the Fifth Prince, Xue Lingxiao.

Xue Lingxiao is a genius with exceptional talent, possessing both literary and military prowess. He is deeply loved by the people and will surely lead the Tiandou Empire to new heights of glory.

The release of this "last will and testament," coupled with the news of Emperor Xueye's "critical illness and coma," was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating a huge uproar in the Heavenly Dou Palace and even the entire Heavenly Dou City!

Every single one of the civil and military officials in the court was completely dumbfounded!

The Fifth Prince, Xue Lingxiao? The prince who was just named the Holy Spirit King and sent to the Frost Province? How come he suddenly wants to inherit the throne?
Wasn't Emperor Xue Ye always fond of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?
Moreover, Emperor Xueye was perfectly fine just a few days ago, so how did he suddenly become critically ill?

Countless questions and speculations spread wildly throughout the government and the public.

But Qian Renxue's actions were so fast and decisive that they gave no one time to react or question.

As the Crown Prince overseeing the country, she forcefully suppressed all dissenting voices and, with lightning speed, began preparations for Xue Lingxiao's coronation ceremony.

The atmosphere inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace was tense and eerie.

When Prince Xuexing received the news, he was completely stunned.

He was in his mansion, deeply worried about the news that Emperor Xueye was suddenly "critically ill," and was even plotting how to unite with the court officials to prevent Xue Qinghe from seizing power in the Heavenly Dou.

Before he could figure it out, the news that Xue Lingxiao was about to ascend the throne came crashing down like a bolt from the blue.

"What?! Xue Lingxiao? How come he's the emperor?" Prince Xue Xing could hardly believe his ears.

He abruptly stood up from his seat, his face ashen: "What on earth is going on! Where is His Highness the Crown Prince? Why would she abdicate the throne to Ling Xiao? This is illogical! It's utterly absurd!"

He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly changed into his court robes, and headed straight for the palace.

Meanwhile, when Avalanche heard the news in his own mansion, he was terrified.

He originally thought that Xue Qinghe would ascend the throne smoothly, and that he would at most be marginalized and live a peaceful life as a leisurely prince.

But now, it turns out that Xue Lingxiao, who is ruthless and whom he fears so much, is going to become the emperor!
Thinking of Xue Lingxiao's past behavior and his previous disrespect towards him, Xue Beng felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"It's over, it's over! Xue Lingxiao has become emperor, and he's even more ruthless than Xue Qinghe!" Xue Beng slumped in his chair, his face ashen and his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Under Qian Renxue's strong promotion and arrangement, everything proceeded at an almost unbelievable speed.

Just one day later, a hasty yet dignified enthronement ceremony was held in front of the Taihe Hall of the Tiandou Imperial Palace. Xue Lingxiao, dressed in an elaborate dragon-patterned imperial robe and wearing a twelve-tassel crown, calmly accepted the homage of the officials.

He stood atop the high throne, looking down at the vast sea of ​​kneeling civil and military officials below. His innate imperial majesty was even more awe-inspiring than that of Emperor Xueye during his reign.

Qian Renxue stood aside, watching Xue Lingxiao's regal demeanor, her heart filled with satisfaction.

All her scheming and forbearance seemed to have paid off at this moment.

Although the throne ultimately fell into Xue Lingxiao's hands, as long as Xue Lingxiao remembers her contributions and their agreement, then everything she wants will eventually come true.

After the coronation ceremony, Prince Xuexing could no longer contain himself and hurriedly requested an audience with the new emperor outside the imperial study.

Xue Lingxiao did not make things difficult for him and soon summoned him.

"Royal Uncle, what is the matter?" Xue Lingxiao sat on the dragon throne that symbolized supreme power.

"Your Majesty! What exactly is going on? Why did His Highness the Crown Prince pass the throne to you? And now that you are the new Emperor of Tiandou, what should be done with the Holy Spirit Kingdom?"

This was not just his question, but a concern shared by all the officials and even the entire Heavenly Dou Empire.

The ruler of an already independent kingdom, and then the emperor of the Tiandou Empire?
This is absolutely unheard of and absurd!

"Uncle, these things don't seem to be your concern."

Prince Xuexing felt a chill run down his spine and was about to say something more.

Xue Lingxiao continued, "I have my own plans for the future of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Your Highness only needs to do your duty and you can enjoy your honor."

These two simple sentences sent a chill down Prince Xuexing's spine.

This new emperor was more unfathomable and unpredictable than he had imagined.

Prince Xuexing opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

If we continue, it's probably not as simple as just "enjoying a life of luxury".

"Your subject obeys the decree." Prince Xuexing bowed respectfully and then slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

As he stepped out of the Imperial Study, he looked up at the gloomy sky above the Heavenly Dou Palace and felt a strong sense of unease.

The Heavenly Dou Empire is likely about to undergo a major upheaval.

Xue Lingxiao watched Prince Xue Xing's departing figure with a calm expression.

Holy Spirit Kingdom?

Naturally, it is necessary to merge with the Heavenly Dou Empire.

He, Xue Lingxiao, will become the sole emperor of the Douluo Continent!
Meanwhile, what would the people of the Holy Spirit Kingdom think if they knew that their king had transformed into the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire?

However, Xue Lingxiao didn't care.

On the other side, at the gate of Heaven Dou City, Tang San and Xiao Wu's clothes were already in a terrible state, tattered and covered with congealed bloodstains and thick dust.

After several days of relentless fleeing without sleep, they had exhausted their last bit of strength.
