Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 709 Imperial Succession and Ascension to the God Realm

A day later, Nan Feihuang announced his abdication to the world. Despite the ministers' best efforts to dissuade him, the new emperor's coronation ceremony took place a few days later.

Nan Fengrui, now adorned in the yellow robe, was still somewhat bewildered. Just a few days ago, he was kneeling before the ancestral precepts written by Fei Huang, being scolded by his younger sister until he dared not raise his head. How did he suddenly become emperor today?

But he also understood that this was inevitable. His father's ambition lay elsewhere; true freedom and ease were his true desires.

Anyway, he was confident that he would be a good emperor. His teacher Xun Yu had taught him everything he knew over the years without holding anything back, and now he was adept at handling government affairs.

The reason why Fei Huang was able to still have a lot of time to cultivate after becoming emperor was because he had delegated most of the political affairs to his son.

Moreover, he was not without a supervisor; his youngest sister was his restraint. If he were ever to become incompetent and cause the people to suffer, his sister, who hated evil as if it were her enemy, would surely break his legs without hesitation and make him kneel before the ancestors to beg for forgiveness, just like before.

Inside the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong leaned against the cage, closing her eyes to rest, when suddenly the door to the secret chamber was pushed open, and a girl walked in.

Bibi Dong opened her eyes and, upon seeing the person who had come, couldn't help but show a hint of joy. "Xiao Dong, why did you come alone today? Where is your mother?"

Nan Fengzhi has two nicknames. Fei Huang's family calls her Xiao Qian, while only Bibi Dong calls her Xiao Dong.

"Grandma, today Father abdicated, and Mother, as Empress, will naturally stay in the capital," Xiaoqian said.

"Abdicated? Nan Feihuang abdicated so long ago, so why are you here? Did he not pass the throne to you, but to Xue Ke's child instead?" Bibi Dong said with dissatisfaction.

She also knew that Nan Feihuang had four children, three of whom were Xue Ke's, and only Xiao Dong was her biological granddaughter.

How can Ke Xueke's three children compare to her granddaughter?

She had heard Qian Renxue mention that the three children all possessed the Ancient Thunder Book, a direct descendant of the Ancient Thunder royal family, and inherited the abilities of Nan Feihuang's Escape Technique Book, but only a portion of them.

If the Book of Dunjia is an all-encompassing encyclopedia, then these three are only experts in one area.

Nan Fengrui inherited the political affairs section and the civil official skills section of the Dunjia Heavenly Book, which means that his soul skills are only civil official attack skills.

Nanfeng Yue inherited the military and political skills and the civil official and military advisor skills. Her soul skills are only auxiliary, making her a pure support soul master.

The final Yukikaze inexplicably inherited a health regimen, and will probably only have one ability in his life: to live a long life, as long as a tortoise.

And her granddaughter possesses three martial souls: the Xuanbing Fangtian Halberd of ultimate ice, the divinely bestowed martial soul Six-Winged Angel, and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor inherited from her.

He was born with innate level 20 soul power. When his martial soul awakened, he triggered the divine blessing of the six-winged angel, which increased his level by 10, bringing his innate level to level 30. His cultivation speed was unprecedentedly fast, enough to make Bibi Dong and even Nan Feihuang blush with shame.

At only thirteen years old, her soul power has already surpassed that of a Soul Emperor and is even close to that of a Soul Saint. In the Soul Master Competition, she once defeated fourteen opponents in a three-way singles battle in the finals, replicating the glory of her father, Nan Feihuang.

At that time, she only cultivated one martial spirit, which was the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, which she personally taught and cultivated.

In Bibi Dong's view, her granddaughter was so outstanding that she should inherit the throne.

"Xiao Dong, call Nan Feihuang over here. I want to see him. You are also his own daughter. Why does he favor one over the other? Is it because you have my bloodline? Tell him that if that's the case, I'd rather die than let him transfer his hatred for me onto you." Bibi Dong judged others by her own standards. She had disliked Qian Renxue because of Qian Xunji, so she assumed that Feihuang felt the same way.

"Grandma, please don't be angry. It's not like that. Father loves me very much. I even feel that of all his children, I am the one he loves the most and places the most hope in." Xiaoqian quickly comforted her. "If I really wanted the throne, I might have a real chance to get it, but my heart is not in it."

"In this life, I have only three wishes. The third is to catch up with my father and mother and explore the pinnacle of Soul Master power. The second is to uphold righteousness and ward off evil, punish the wicked and eliminate evil, and uphold the name of justice. The first, and most important, is to rescue you in the future and let you leave this cage."

Bibi Dong was taken aback. Her granddaughter's ambition was not to rule the world, but to bring great power to herself. This was a good ideal.

It turns out that she wasn't incapable of becoming empress, but rather that she didn't want to be one. In this respect, she had misunderstood Nan Feihuang.

Upholding righteousness and rejecting evil, and upholding justice in the name of righteousness, has always been the belief of the angel race. Whether or not they have actually upheld it, they have at least taught their descendants this way.

But what she heard next deeply moved her. Her granddaughter had worked so hard to cultivate, and her greatest dream, which surpassed even becoming a god and upholding righteousness and warding off evil, was to save her.

"It's no use, this cage has been protected by a barrier placed on it by your father and mother..."

Just as Bibi Dong was about to offer some words of comfort, Xiao Qian excitedly exclaimed, "I will break it! I know that Father and Mother set up this cage to punish you because of what happened back then. I don't know Father's thoughts about you, but Mother definitely loves you. This barrier is both punishment and protection, and even more so, a glimmer of hope. It's their test for me. In this world, if we're talking about who has the best chance of breaking Father and Mother's barrier, it's definitely my future self. So I will work harder and harder, and one day, I will rescue you, Grandma!"

"Silly child!" Bibi Dong turned around, tears welling in her eyes. She had never cried like this since Hu Liena died, but today she cried with happiness. "Grandma believes in you, and I will wait for that day."

After the succession was completed, Fei Huang prepared to take Qian Renxue, Lü Lingqi and his lieutenants to the God Realm.

To fight that final battle.

His children and friends came to see him off.

On the contrary, his father and mother were still in the far north and could not come in time.

Fei Huang's gaze swept over the crowd below, and he called out, "Ke'er, wait for me here. I will come back to pick you up soon. And Old Poison Master, you are the first Title Douluo to call me brother. I will never forget you. Remember to prepare fine wine. We will continue to drink heartily in the God Realm one day."

"This kid..." Dugu Bo smiled slightly. It seemed he would have to live a few more years to wait for this brother to defeat the God Realm and come to pick him up.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to Father Emperor!!!" Nan Fengrui, along with his younger siblings and civil and military officials, saw off their father as he ascended to heaven.

Qian Renxue looked reluctantly in the direction of Wuhun City. Fei Huang smiled and said, "Sister Xue, don't worry, we can come back. Besides, Xiao Qian's talent is even stronger than mine back then. When she is strong enough to protect this country in our place, Bibi Dong can come out."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Yes, I believe in Xiao Qian."

Inside the secret room, Bibi Dong, unaware of the situation outside, suddenly felt a sense of loss.

She knew that her daughter had left. A day in the divine realm was equivalent to a year in the mortal realm. She didn't know how many years it would be before they returned.

"Have a safe journey, Xue'er. I wish you a long and healthy life. Although your father gave me despair, your daughter has given me hope. From now on, I am even with your family. I no longer hate you." Bibi Dong leaned against the wall and rarely showed a smile.

After struggling with this for most of her life, she finally felt completely at peace.
