Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 360: The Rock King Emperor!

"I am now old and lack the ambition of my youth, and I am no longer able to lead the people of the empire to a more glorious tomorrow!"

As everyone watched Xueye speak with such vigor on stage, their eyes twitched slightly.

Is he getting old?

Under normal circumstances, he could live for another ten or more years without any problem at all; this statement is just an excuse.

We can't just say he's incompetent and then abdicate, can we?

On the contrary, Emperor Xueye is the most powerful and ambitious emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire in the last thousand years!

During his reign, he suppressed two internal rebellions within the empire and even rivaled the rising power of the Star Luo Empire.

That's right, it's just a close call.

The Star Luo Empire developed too quickly, showing a tendency to surpass the Heaven Dou Empire. If it weren't for the intervention of the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire would probably have been destroyed long ago.

It wasn't until the generation of Yukiya that this trend was reversed.

It is no exaggeration to say that he possesses great talent and ambition.

Of course, if it weren't for the intervention of the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire could have destroyed the Star Luo Empire before it could have developed.

It can be said that without the Spirit Hall, there would be no current tripartite balance of power, and the Douluo Continent would have been unified long ago.

Of course, the Spirit Hall didn't do anything wrong; it's just a matter of different stances. Neither side wants the other to dominate, unless it's themselves.

This also created a problem: constant minor skirmishes between the two empires resulted in the deaths of countless soldiers.

If the country had been unified sooner, perhaps this situation could have been avoided.

"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is kind-hearted and has the bearing of an emperor. In recent years, he has handled state affairs quite well and has won the support of officials and the love of common people. He is truly a man of imperial talent."

"Today, I hereby announce my abdication, and the throne shall be passed to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!"

Xue Ye didn't waste any time. He directly announced his abdication, and the throne was inherited by "Xue Qinghe". Then the succession ceremony began.

The ceremony was extremely complicated, and even Xue Qinghe almost couldn't handle it.

If the emperor dies, the process of ascending the throne is not as complicated, but this is a succession, not a death.

Therefore, this process must take into account the feelings of the snowy night.

The ceremony had only just begun when Xue Qinghe donned the crown, wore the dragon robe, and sat on the throne!

That's right, after all this fuss, the ceremony has only just begun...

"I am Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, favored by my father, the Emperor, and thus I sit on this throne!"

"Today I declare to the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, ascend..."

Xue Qinghe sat on the dragon throne and spoke with a solemn expression.

These were lines that had been prepared in advance; she only needed to read them aloud.

Of course, this was just a ritual.

Sitting on this throne is entirely up to Xueye's personal will; as for whether the gods of heaven and earth will bless her, that is certainly impossible.

If she were blessed, she wouldn't have failed so completely when she tried to usurp the throne in her previous life.

Having figured this out, Xue Qinghe felt even less affection for the so-called gods.

Hypocritical, these gods are very hypocritical.

Especially those so-called Sea God and Asura God!

They had all killed Tang San, yet he was still able to revive him, and even go further. It's unimaginable that such a thing could happen to them.

Those gods not only have double standards, but they also say that gods cannot easily interfere with the human world.

This is absolutely outrageous...

If it weren't for their intervention, perhaps there wouldn't have been this "second playthrough".

"After all, you've grown from a crown prince to an emperor, Qinghe... no, I should now call you Your Majesty."

Xueye stroked his beard and laughed.

His words weren't so simple; he was referring to certain people.

This does not include Xue Qinghe himself.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed to Xue Qinghe.

"Long live the Emperor!"

Even the former emperor addressed Xue Qinghe as "Your Majesty," let alone his subjects!

"Father, please still call me Qinghe, it's too much for you..."

"Haha, isn't this happening in front of our ministers?"

Seeing Xue Qinghe's performance on a snowy night, he was very satisfied. The other party did not disregard him just because he had become an emperor, which was good.

Xue Qinghe sighed in her heart. For a moment, she wished that Xue Ye was her father, but unfortunately, he was not.

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne and there must be many things to do, so I will not interfere here."

After saying this, Xueye tactfully left, and from now on, he would spend most of his time in the harem.

It is said that emperors are extravagant and unrestrained, but this is not the case on a snowy night.

He only had one empress and three concubines!

All three concubines were brought in through political alliances.

For an emperor, what kind of extravagance is this?

Xue Qinghe did not stop them. It is said that a new official makes a big splash when he takes office, let alone an emperor.

"By imperial decree, my teacher Ning Fengzhi is hereby appointed Imperial Tutor..."

The first step, naturally, is to promote those close to you, even if they are only superficially close.

Ning Fengzhi's acceptance of Xue Qinghe as his disciple was nothing more than an exchange of interests.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi also taught the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" very seriously, and taught her many things.

After all, Heaven Dou City is not Martial Soul City, so it is impossible for it to teach "Xue Qinghe" in a grand manner. Therefore, it is still very necessary for Ning Fengzhi, the Crown Prince's teacher.

Anyone with eyes can see that Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe have an extremely good relationship. If he is not appointed as the Imperial Tutor, it will only arouse suspicion among the people.

No one questioned this reward; everyone felt it was only natural, even Ning Fengzhi himself thought so.

Investing in "Xueqinghe" has finally paid off.

As for titles, Ning Fengzhi was already a marquis, and there was nothing more he could be granted; it was impossible for him to be made a king!

Marquis is already the highest rank among those of different surnames, so merely appointing Ning Fengzhi as Imperial Tutor is more of a title and doesn't have much practical effect.

Of course, for Ning Fengzhi, the significance of this title is obviously much greater than some physical rewards; after all, this is the title of Imperial Tutor!

"During his time as a guest advisor to the Crown Prince, the Martial God Zhong Li has saved me from danger on numerous occasions. While in Tian Dou City, he has also intimidated all villains!"

"The Martial God Zhongli is hereby appointed as the Imperial Preceptor, and granted the title of King of Yan, a title bestowed upon him by a different surname!"

"They can attend court without bowing, enter the palace gates at will, and mobilize the Royal Knights!"

"The Martial God Zhongli possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, profound knowledge, and the demeanor of a gentleman!"

"He is bestowed the title of King of the Same Rank, and seeing him is as if seeing the Emperor himself. He enjoys the destiny of the empire and the faith of the empire. He is called: Emperor!"

"The Rock King!"

After the bestowal of rewards, everyone was stunned, yet felt it was perfectly reasonable!

Yes, that makes perfect sense!

Who among the court officials didn't know Zhongli?

He had no interest in the court, nor did he care about any titles.

With such a title and rank, he wouldn't do anything excessive.

Besides, even without these things, who can stop Zhong Li from doing whatever he wants?
