Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I opened up the realms of gods and gods.

Chapter 215 The Best State

After a moment of silence, Xia Zhu asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you already have a plan?"

"snort!"

Then, Xia Qi gave Xia Zhu an approving look.

After sitting back down, he looked at them calmly and said, "You unworthy descendants, you've barely stated my decision and you're already rushing to object. Do you even have any respect for your imperial ancestor?"

Seeing this, everyone helplessly and respectfully said, "Father/Ancestor, please calm down!" After everyone calmed down, Xia Qi remained silent for a moment, then looked at Xia Fa at the end and asked calmly.

"Fa'er, how long until you achieve the highest level of imperial power?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xia Fa at the end.

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa immediately stood up and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, judging from the current fortune of the Xia Dynasty, I estimate that it will still be more than two thousand years before it reaches its full potential!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi secretly estimated the time and then asked again.

"Hmm! In that case, have you decided on the next ruler of the dynasty?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I already have several candidates in mind!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi became very interested and immediately asked, "Oh? There are a few others. Tell us about them so that our Imperial Ancestor can take a look and see who is the next Emperor."

"promise!"

Xia Fa is said to be the sixteenth emperor of the Xia Dynasty, but he was actually the fifteenth emperor of the dynasty.

After all, the founding emperor of the Xia dynasty, Yu the Great, was different from the fifteen emperors of the previous dynasty.

Yu the Great was the supreme ruler of all humankind, possessing the human virtues and the status of a human emperor.

And they are the emperors of the Qi Yun Dynasty.

The difference between the two is enormous.

After all, once the Human Emperor attains the Human Dao realm, he reaches the realm of the Supreme God, while the Human Emperor of the Qi Yun Dynasty reaches the peak of the Great Luo God realm.

The two are worlds apart.

Therefore, to attain the position of Emperor in a dynasty of destiny, one only needs to make some contributions to the dynasty during their reign and for destiny to reach a certain level before they can obtain the position.

It's much simpler than the Human Emperor's position.

Therefore, when they select the next emperor of the dynasty, in addition to valuing personal ability, they value personal strength even more.

The current ruler of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Fa, reigned for tens of thousands of years and had a total of twenty-seven sons and thirty-six daughters.

Of these, only three were truly valued by him.

They are Lü Xiao (Xia Jie), who is known for his literary and martial talents; Shang Yang (Xia Yang), who is known for his inexhaustible divine power; and Guo Zhang (Xia Zhang), who is revered as a friend of divine beasts.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the three candidates identified by the authorities are Lü Xiao, Shang Yang, and Li Zhang."

After saying that, Xia Fa waved his divine power and conjured up the appearances and images of Lü Gui and the other two in the hall.

Just then, Xia Gao, who was Xia Fa's father and the grandfather of Lü Gui and the other two, laughed loudly.

"Shangyang Wu knows he is a good child. He was born with immense divine power. With this child as the ruler of the dynasty, he will surely attain the throne of the emperor more quickly!"

However, as soon as Xia Gao finished speaking, he was angrily rebuked by his father, Xia Kongjia.

"Gao, shut up!"

Xia Kongjia glared angrily at his son, Xia Gao, and said coldly, "Since when did it become your place to speak on this matter?"

Xia Gao opened his mouth, his face flushed as he looked at his indifferent father, but he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

Seeing this, Xia Qi, who was at the head of the table, impatiently interrupted, "Alright, it's been so long, why bring it up again?"

Seeing this, the other Xia emperors also sighed helplessly.

Why?

This is because 100,000 years ago, the Xia Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in the world. Even the newly rising Shang Dynasty had to retreat when it encountered the Xia Dynasty.

It was only because of a wrong decree issued by Xia Gao, the emperor at the time, that hundreds of millions of elite imperial troops were wiped out.

The Xia Dynasty also fell into decline at that time, and its fortunes declined somewhat, until the Shang Dynasty caught up and seemed poised to surpass the Xia Dynasty.

Xia Qi sensed a somber atmosphere around him and couldn't help but speak up.

"Fa'er, now that we have three candidates, let's strive to finalize the selection within these two thousand years, so that you can perform the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven as soon as possible and attain the throne of the Human Emperor!"

Because at this time, Xia Fa's strength was mainly supported by the current dynasty's destiny master, and did not belong to his own strength.

and so.

Only by attaining the position of Human Emperor and possessing the strength of a Great Luo God at its peak can one achieve eternity.

Although Xia Fa found Xia Qi's urging strange, he still obeyed his imperial grandfather's words.

"I understand!"

Just as the others were about to say something, Xia Qi spoke with a gradually darkening expression.

"This is a critical juncture. All dynasties face only two paths: survival or destruction!"

"The chance to live is to achieve final victory and make the Xia Dynasty the only dynasty (the Celestial Dynasty) of the human race; the chance to die is to follow the crowd and become one of the losers among tens of thousands of dynasties."

"As the leading dynasty among many dynasties, if war breaks out ten thousand years from now, given the relative strength of the Xia Dynasty and the other dynasties, they will inevitably form an alliance to deal with the Xia Dynasty's methods. By then, it will be too late!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"good!"

Xia Kongjia, the fourteenth emperor of Xia, stood up and said with a passionate expression.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? I, Kong Jia, am the first to support you!"

Xia Kongjia's sudden action greatly displeased Xia Zuo, who was deep in thought.

"Sit down! As an emperor, how can you behave so loudly and arrogantly! You're no better than your son!" Xia Ku said, causing Xia Gao, who had wanted to keep a low profile, to give an innocent, bitter smile.

Having already been reprimanded by his father Xia Kongjia, he was now being dragged out by his grandfather to be whipped while he was lying down.

After Xia Ya finished speaking, he paid no attention to the bitter-looking Xia Kongjia and his son Xia Gao, and instead respectfully asked Xia Qi, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of three thousand dynasties in the Yellow River basin. Even if we strike first, with the strength of our Xia Dynasty, we can probably only take down a hundred dynasties. The rest will react soon enough. What should we do then?"

At this time, the Xia Dynasty, though individually stronger than all the other dynasties in the entire Yellow River basin, was still a formidable force.

But strength is only limited; what Xia Ku said about taking down hundreds of dynasties in an instant is already the best-case scenario.

If something unexpected were to happen (the intervention of the gods), the best-case scenario would be taking over seventy or eighty dynasties.

and so.

Not only Xia Zuo, but everyone present was also very curious about what Xia Qi's plan was, and what gave him the confidence to boast that he could take over the three thousand dynasties in the entire Yellow River basin in one fell swoop.

Because the imperial system at this time was different from the tribal system.

If it were a tribal model, they could appeal to the emotions of the people, like the paramount ruler model during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, to persuade those tribes to verbally or physically support the Xia clan.

However, under the imperial dynasty model, coupled with the concept of a single, unified dynasty, which emperor would willingly squander countless years of accumulated wealth?

Who would willingly give up such a tremendous opportunity to become the sole ruler of a dynasty?

and so.

It would be extremely difficult for the Xia Dynasty to unify the entire Yellow River basin.

This process cannot be easily resolved in ten thousand or a hundred thousand years.

not to mention.

The ten-thousand-year period set by the Divine Emperor of the Divine Court was a long-term preparation, involving the struggle between the imperial dynasties and the conflict between the Xuanmen and the Divine Court.

The problem here cannot be solved without dozens or even hundreds of members.

After all, this involves the Divine Court and the Profound Sect, and given their immense size, it is simply impossible for them to resolve this easily.
