"I hereby abdicate the throne to Prince Xiao Ling of Qin!"

Boom!!!

This news came as a bolt from the blue.

The entire palace, inside and out, was deathly silent.

According to the ministers, the following imperial edict must be the decree by Emperor Xia to appoint Prince Qin, Xiao Ling, as Crown Prince.

But who could have imagined that instead of receiving the imperial edict to promote the crown prince, they would receive news that the Xia emperor had voluntarily abdicated and handed over the throne to the King of Qin.

This news completely shattered the expectations of the court officials.

Thinking back to why Right Chancellor Liu Huai had suddenly stopped earlier, it was clear that he had also seen the contents of the imperial edict, which shocked him so much that he was unable to announce it.

"Passing the throne?"

Xiao Ling was also stunned at this moment.

He never expected that he would receive such explosive news as soon as he returned to the dynasty.

What on earth are my father and that elder brother up to?

This news caught me completely off guard.

After the Right Chancellor Liu Huai announced the imperial edict in front of the Golden Palace, he held the edict with both hands and respectfully walked down the steps of the palace to present it to Xiao Ling.

"His Majesty."

The current Xia emperor has already abdicated, and although the current Qin king, Xiao Ling, has not yet ascended the throne, he is already addressed in this way.

The remaining officials stood respectfully, their faces showing excitement and confusion.

Xiao Ling looked at the imperial edict handed over by Right Chancellor Liu Huai, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively accepted it.

In a flash, he arrived outside the Golden Palace.

At this moment, dozens of important officials of the Great Xia Dynasty stood on both sides. Upon seeing Xiao Ling's figure, they all immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves.

Xiao Ling looked toward the dragon throne above the main hall.

At this moment, it was completely empty except for a dragon throne.

The original Crown Prince Xiao Yuan was no longer sitting on the side of the high platform and dragon throne, but was standing at the forefront of the civil officials in the court.

When they saw Xiao Ling walk in from outside the hall.

The current Prince Qi, Xiao Yuan, immediately knelt down and bowed to Xiao Ling, respectfully saying, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Your humble servant, this lowly general, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

With Xiao Yuan's call, all the officials in the Golden Palace knelt down to pay their respects.

"Brother, what you've done..."

Xiao Ling didn't know what to say for a moment.

This trip back to the imperial court turned out to be a complete disaster.

Before him stood Xiao Yuan and his courtiers, kneeling in respect.

After a moment of silence.

He waved his hand and said, "Rise, all of you."

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to take the throne of Great Xia.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers stood up again.

"Alright, everyone, leave now."

I arrived in a hurry and was not prepared at all.

With the abdication of the late emperor, the new Xia emperor also needs time to adapt.

At his command, the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty dispersed one by one.

Although Xiao Ling only accepted the imperial edict, he did not actually sit on the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, from this moment on...

The news that the late emperor abdicated and Prince Qin Xiao Ling succeeded to the throne of Great Xia would spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty in a short time.

Xiao Ling glanced at Xiao Yuan.

His figure then vanished from the hall in an instant.

For Xiao Ling at his current level, with his strength, it would be easy for him to sense Xiao Tianhuang's aura.

The Great Xia Imperial Harem.

Ancestral Hall.

When Xiao Ling arrived at the palace gate, he saw Emperor Xiao Tianhuang of Xia leisurely playing a game of chess with his ancestor Xiao Wuyou.

Xiao Ling stepped inside.

Without any attempt to conceal himself, Xiao Ling's arrival immediately attracted the attention of Emperor Xiao Tianhuang and Ancestor Xiao Wuyou upon entering the room.

"Greetings to Father Emperor and Ancestor."

Xiao Ling greeted him respectfully.

Even though he now possesses the strength of the Realm Slayer, he is still a junior when facing Xiao Tianhuang and Xiao Wuyou.

The two turned to look at where Xiao Ling was.

Xiao Ling's arrival was inevitable.

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang of Xia put down the flag in his hand, looked at Xiao Ling, and said, "Fifth brother, the future of Great Xia will depend on you."

"If there are any political matters in the court that require assistance, your imperial brothers will naturally lend a hand. As for the overall situation of the dynasty, only you alone can support the Great Xia Dynasty at present."

"Although I am in my prime, the road ahead for Great Xia is still long, and the opponents we face are even stronger. Only you can lead Great Xia to continue on this path."

The dragon throne certainly fascinates countless people.

In order to ascend to this position, he fought his way through numerous trials and tribulations among the many princes of the dynasty before finally succeeding in taking the throne.

However, the Great Xia Dynasty is now suppressing the surrounding countries and is even confronting powerful entities like the Tian Chu Dynasty.

Xiao Tianhuang knew that his own strength was definitely not enough, and only Xiao Lingfang in front of him had the ability to do so.

The other party is exceptionally talented and has a powerful mentor behind them.

The other side controls the Great Xia Dynasty, which is definitely much better than our own situation.

The old patriarch Xiao Wuyou remained silent.

He saw it all.

In his eyes, Xiao Tianhuang was already one of the most outstanding emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he never expected that after him, an even more outstanding royal descendant, Xiao Ling, would emerge from the Xiao royal family.

He was already very much looking forward to what the Great Xia Dynasty would look like under the control of the new emperor, Xiao Ling.

Above the imperial dynasty, there exists an even more powerful imperial dynasty.

Under Xiao Ling's control, the entire Great Xia might be able to be elevated to a higher level.

Hearing what Xiao Tianhuang said, Xiao Ling didn't say anything more.

[Random task issued!]

[Ascend the throne and become emperor, controlling the vast territory of Great Xia!]

[Time Limit: Three Days]

[Mission Reward: A Crowning Gift Pack!]

Shortly after Emperor Xiao Tianhuang of Xia announced his abdication, the system notification sounded.

"I have no choice but to sit on this throne!"

Considering the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, although it has defeated the allied forces of the surrounding major dynasties and slaughtered most of the Divine Mansion Realm warriors in the dynasty, the real threat to the Great Xia Dynasty has not yet been completely quelled.

The Heavenly Chu Dynasty!

This is an existence that is many times more powerful and dangerous than the imperial dynasty.

Having killed two beings at the Dharma Aspect Realm, the other party would certainly not let the matter rest easily.

Although he had wiped out all the powerful figures from the Heavenly Chu Dynasty who came here, given the Dynasty's methods, it probably wouldn't be long before he found out.

The next time, the Great Xia will face an even more terrifying challenge.

Day two.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After a flurry of preparations, the coronation ceremony officially began.

Xiao Ling, wearing a jade beaded crown, a dragon robe, and a crimson-gold imperial sword at his waist, walked steadily up to the sacrificial altar in the palace.

This is a hundred-zhang-high altar for worshipping Heaven. When a new emperor ascends the throne, he must ascend the altar to pray to Heaven.

Below, the court officials, dressed in their court robes, stood respectfully.

After reaching the summit of the altar.

His gaze swept down to the assembled officials below, then back up to the sky above.

"I am Xiao Ling, the fifth son of the Great Xia Dynasty. Grateful for the high hopes of our royal ancestors, I hereby succeed to the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"I hereby proclaim this to all the people of the world!"

"My reign title is Yanwu, and I am the Yanwu Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
