Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

The phrase "The show has only just begun" immediately instilled a sense of fear in the hearts of the kings!

Even the officials below couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts!

At this moment, a huge, golden imperial edict floated in the sky outside!

That was an imperial edict formed from the condensation of the dynasty's fortune.

The words above can be seen by any living being within the Great Xia territory who looks up.

Xia Zhaoyan could almost hear the shattering sounds echoing in the main hall.

Listen, that is the sound of the kings' hearts breaking!

"Why? I am the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, so why wasn't I blessed by the dynasty's fortune back then!"

Xia Qiming was truly devastated. He hadn't received any good fortune when he was made a prince, and he hadn't received any good fortune when he became the crown prince either!

What is destiny? Destiny is the true core of an empire!

It was formed by the dynasty protecting the people and the people's faith.

It is the result of the respect and love of all people.

It was formed by the submission of martial artists and cultivators to the imperial dynasty.

It was formed from the system of the imperial dynasty.

It was obtained through territorial expansion, slaughter, and plunder of enemies!

It was formed by the dynasty's slaying of demons and monsters.

It was the result of the imperial dynasty educating and uniting all the people!

Luck represents the will of the Great Xia world, the will of all living beings, and the will of the royal family!

Otherwise, the royal family, blessed with good fortune, wouldn't have been able to defy the heavens and vanquish the immortals.

Not only Xia Qiming broke down, but all the remaining princes also broke down.

Throughout the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, only three people have received the blessing of destiny as princes.

Moreover, all three of them successfully became emperors of the Xia Dynasty.

That's why all the princes are now on edge!

...

When the court assembly ended, the entire Great Xia Dynasty was in an uproar!

Inside the Prince Ren's residence, the women were already waiting at the entrance to greet Xia Zhaoyan.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he rushed over to him.

"Your Highness, congratulations on regaining your eligibility to succeed to the throne!"

"Your Highness..."

The chattering sounds were so pleasant to Xia Zhaoyan's ears.

At this moment, the guards in the mansion knelt down on one knee in unison.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

The sound seemed to carry throughout the entire inner city!

Meanwhile, everyone was the same in all the various branches of the Underworld, in the Jade Palace, and in the Heavenly Punishment Division.

He knelt on one knee facing the direction of King Ni's residence.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

The sound echoed throughout the various branches of the Underworld, within the Heavenly Punishment Division, and in the Heavenly Punishment Army camp.

Who wouldn't want their master to sit in that supreme position!

Moreover, the discussions among the general public were even more heated than those at the higher levels.

After all, Xia Zhaoyan had enjoyed a good reputation among the people since he was made a king.

The title "Prince of the Commoners" originated from the mouths of ordinary people.

The other princes were aloof and distant, but Xia Zhaoyan gave them a sense of warmth and approachability.

Killing officials, destroying powerful families, fighting against nobles and powerful clans—aren't all these acts betrayals of one's own social class?

"Unexpectedly, Prince Ni has regained his eligibility to succeed to the throne!"

...

"I knew it. His Highness Prince Ren would regain his right to the throne," someone said mysteriously.

Indeed, there is no shortage of clever people among the common people.

A careful analysis of Xia Zhaoyan's every move after his rise to power reveals his undisguised ambition.

"Regardless of the circumstances, I support Renwang becoming the Xia Emperor; it's better than anyone else!"

...

"That's right, the Benevolent King dares to slaughter aristocratic families, destroy sects, and even challenge the royal family."

"Are other princes acceptable?"

...

"The other princes? Heh... They only know how to curry favor with various factions; they wouldn't even give us a second glance."

...

Inside the Demon Suppression Duke's Mansion, Feng Xiuyuan was completely stunned when he saw the imperial edict of destiny.

"This is too frivolous! The royal family really disregards the rules at will!"

"Then why give him the title of King Ren in the first place?"

Without the title of "King of Benevolence," would Xia Zhaoyan have achieved what he has today?

At this moment, Feng Xiu was panting heavily with anger.

Because he knew that with King Ni regaining his right to succeed to the throne, the chances of King Tou succeeding to the throne were almost slim.

Leaving aside the comparisons between him and the previous princes, his open conflict with Prince Ren was already irreconcilable.

If I were the benevolent king, I would definitely suppress a few princes with deep-seated conflicts first.

"Unfortunately, each prince has his own ideas, and they cannot all be united as one."

"Otherwise, what good would it do for King Ren to hold the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

No, the situation is beyond my control now. I need to discuss with our ancestors how to deal with what's to come.

Duke Zhenguo, the number one duke in the Great Xia Dynasty!

Looking at the gloomy-faced Crown Prince before him, Yun Tianze asked, "What are your plans now?"

Xia Qiming took a deep breath and said, "Ancestor, I plan to unite with more princes to target Prince Ren!"

...

"Are you confident? Or can you satisfy the interests of the other princes?"

Yun Tianze spoke calmly, leaving Xia Qiming, who was opposite him, speechless.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

"You're becoming more and more disappointing. Do you think that once Prince Ren regains his right to the throne, the other princes will unite against him?"

"Actually, you're wrong. Although they may be angry, they'll be even more eager to expand their influence."

"Not many people are willing to fight against Nioh with you. After all, Nioh is very powerful, and fighting between the two sides will only benefit a third party."

"Instead of doing that, they should focus on developing and strengthening themselves!"

"At most, you can only unite with a few people like the Azure King and the Eastern King!"

...

In the residence of the King of Wu, the King of Ling sat opposite him.

Neither of them spoke, but each emanated a powerful aura of anger.

The servants in the mansion trembled in fear in the distance, because one of them had just made a mistake and had been executed by the King of Wu!

At this moment, the seemingly unassuming King of Wu revealed his true colors.

"Damn it, what right does he have to regain his right to succeed to the throne!"

"Why couldn't we have waited a little longer!"

The reason why King Wu and King Ling were even angrier was because the two had previously discussed and planned to feign an alliance with Xia Zhaoyan.

Unlike last time, this time the two had planned for a long time and received the greatest support from their respective maternal clans.

However, Niou regained his right to the throne, thus ruining their plans before they even began.

"Among everyone now, you and I are the weakest; the throne is probably out of our reach!"

At this moment, Prince Ling looked somber, no longer the forthright and generous person he once was.

But a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the King of Wu!

...

On this day, an unexpected guest arrived at the Prince Ren's residence!

"Your subject Meng Zhou pays his respects to Your Highness, Prince Ren!"

While Xia Zhao's mind raced, she told Meng Zhou to rise.

That's right, the person who came was none other than the current Prime Minister, Meng Zhou.

As the current prime minister, he took the initiative to visit me despite his sensitive position.

This made Xia Zhaoyan wary!

"Prime Minister, what brings you here to me today?"

Xia Zhaoyan went straight to the point and asked without any further pleasantries.

After all, the two weren't really familiar with each other, and exchanging pleasantries would only seem insincere!
