The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

The ministers ultimately failed to stop Chen Sui; they couldn't understand why he would do such a thing, as it made no sense.

But they soon understood.

After issuing a self-criticism edict, Chen Sui rose again, walked to Dai Dabai, and then faced his people:

"I have failed in my virtue, and I am ashamed before the ancestors of the Great Chen, before this country, and before my people. Therefore, today, I hereby announce my self-reproach to everyone and apologize to the people of the Great Chen," Chen Sui repeated.

"I understand that past mistakes cannot be undone, but I will demonstrate my resolve through my actions. From this day forward, I will no longer be the Emperor of Great Chen! The new Minister-Emperor will be Prince Dai Dabai!"

After saying that, he took out the jade seal, which symbolized the emperor's status.

"Wha, what?!!"

Everyone below the stage was stunned, even the princes and ministers were dumbfounded, only some high-ranking members of the sects seemed to be deep in thought.

"Holy crap, this Emperor of Great Chen has really made a decision that goes against the ancestors! He's even willing to hand over the throne to an outsider!" Chen Xuan was also very surprised.

He thought some unknown villain from the demonic sect had appeared, but he didn't expect him to poop such a huge mess!

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this, this is really..." The ministers didn't even know what to say.

"Enough! All of you, stop talking. My mind is made up! Today is an auspicious day. On this auspicious day, it is appropriate to carry out the abdication ceremony!" Chen Sui no longer referred to himself as "朕" (the imperial "I").

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Chen Sui turned his gaze back to Dai Dabai, bent down at a 90-degree angle, and handed him the imperial jade seal with both hands:

"Young Master Dai, I entrust the future of Great Chen to you. Please be sure to protect it well!"

"Wow, this emperor is quite the 'bowing spirit'!" Chen Xuan couldn't help but complain, almost blurting out "red bean paste private marathon".

Dai Dabai looked at the jade seal in Chen Sui's hand, smiled wickedly, then casually stretched out a hand, took the jade seal, and said loudly:

"I, Dai Dabai, am now the new emperor of your Great Chen! From this day forward, I will do everything in my power to bring prosperity and strength to Great Chen!"

Before people could even process this shocking fact, Chen Sui had already turned and left the crowd, leaving the stage to Dai Dabai.

Dai Dabai's words gradually brought the people below the stage to their senses. They realized that their fates were now in the hands of this new emperor.

"Your Majesty, please do us justice, eradicate the evil forces, and create a peaceful living environment for the people of Da Chen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you can lead us to defeat the evil forces, we are willing to support you and work together to build a brand new Great Chen!"

Immediately, some quick-thinking ministers and sect leaders pledged their loyalty to the new emperor.

However, in such a scene, there were still some stubborn old fogies who came out and directly questioned: "Dai Dabai, who exactly are you, daring to be so arrogant and usurp the throne of the Great Chen Dynasty!"

"That's right, you're just a greenhorn, what makes you think you're worthy of sitting on the throne?"

"That's right! If you were to sit on the throne, what would become of the dignity of our Great Chen? Wouldn't we become a laughingstock to the world!"

"Yes, how can an outsider be the emperor of our Great Chen!"

"Empress herself didn't come to the scene either. She must have disagreed and been imprisoned!"

Some people questioned it, while others thought it was a conspiracy.

However, Dai Dabai was not angry when he heard these words. He just chuckled, then pointed to his chest and said loudly, "Qualifications? My qualifications are right here!"

"Oh? What kind of qualification is that?"

"This is the qualification!" With a casual wave of his hand, he released a huge white tiger that swallowed those who had questioned him whole! The people below the stage trembled in fear.

"Who else thinks I'm not qualified?"

Upon hearing these words and witnessing the scene, those who had been thinking of opposing him fell silent and ceased their questioning.

Just kidding, they're not those old fogies who value their lives above all else!

Seeing that these people no longer objected, Dai Dabai smiled with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to those who had already surrendered.

"I, Da Bai, will work hard to make Da Chen more prosperous and bring you a better life!"

"People of Great Chen, are you willing to accept me?"

Dai Dabai's words were full of sincerity and earnestness, which moved people deeply.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Someone immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

The others also knelt down and shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Seeing this, Dai Dabai nodded in satisfaction and then gestured for everyone to stand up.

"My beloved ministers, I am deeply gratified. The prosperity of Great Chen is inseparable from your joint efforts. I hope that each and every one of you here will do your utmost to contribute to the prosperity of Great Chen."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the crowd replied in unison.

"The first thing I want to do is to make Zhu Zhu my empress!"

After saying that, Dai Dabai walked up to Zhu Zhu, a girl with a cold expression, and extended his hand to her.

Zhu Zhu looked coldly at Dai Dabai, her eyes filled with disdain, disgust, contempt and anger, but deep in her eyes was a trace of deep helplessness.

She is a noblewoman from the White Tiger Empire in the cultivation world. Her father is a minister of the White Tiger Empire. In order to please the imperial family, she has been engaged to the eldest prince of the empire since childhood.

However, this so-called eldest prince was an absolute scoundrel who not only hurt countless women but also had a tyrannical personality, oppressed the people, and aroused widespread resentment in the White Tiger Empire.

Zhu Zhu had asked her father to break off the engagement several times, but her father insisted on marrying her to Dai Dabai, saying that it was the family's honor and could not be violated.

Furthermore, their family has always had intermarriages with the Dai royal family, and they also learn some kind of fusion skill, which makes them extremely powerful after mastering it.

Most importantly, the White Tiger Empire's royal family was too powerful, and he simply couldn't refuse any of their demands.

Left with no other choice, Zhu Zhu had to run away. However, along the way, she made a name for herself with her own strength, and after she became famous, she was immediately captured and brought back by her family.

It wasn't until Dai Dabai personally came to apologize to him, saying that he had turned over a new leaf and was going to start a new life, that he agreed to have some contact with him.

Then, the two of them became disciples of Yu Gang, who assigned them to this realm of mountains and seas to collect immortal herbs.

There's a reason why they were sent as a couple, which seems like a waste of talent.
