Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Feng Tengfei's report, Qi Hongguang frowned. The Great Xia Dynasty had indeed arrived.

At first, he still harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking that perhaps after the Great Xia Dynasty occupied the Crimson Moon Dynasty, it would no longer continue to attack the Azure Cloud Dynasty. After all, a great calamity was approaching, and there were still ten thousand years until the great calamity. Now he should accumulate strength and think about how to fight against the great calamity.

Moreover, the Qingyun Dynasty also has a Great Emperor, a Great Emperor who controls the dynasty's destiny. Even if he dies, he will still cause great trouble for the enemy.

If the Emperor is pushed to the brink and self-destructs, even if he doesn't die, he will be severely injured. With the great calamity coming in ten thousand years, if he is severely injured at this time and doesn't recover before the calamity arrives, he will almost certainly die.

Feng Tengfei tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

The Qingyun Dynasty is now in chaos, and many domain lords, having heard the news, have fled the Qingyun Dynasty.

In most people's eyes, even the patriarch of the Qingyun Dynasty was defeated by the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that only one emperor remains, how could he possibly be a match for the Great Xia Dynasty?

The Qingyun Dynasty is beyond saving.

Qi Hongguang did not answer Feng Tengfei's question immediately. Qi Hongguang still had his hands behind his back and looked up at the thick black clouds in the sky.

After a long while, Qi Hongguang finally sighed and said, "Heaven is going to destroy me!"

Qi Hongguang had already made up his mind. The great calamity was coming in ten thousand years. With his current strength, it was almost impossible for him to survive the calamity, but he would do his best to live until the time of the calamity.

People are afraid of death, even emperors. Why die when you can live?

Qi Hongguang planned to pass the throne to his own sons first, and then he would escape the Qingyun Dynasty alone, leaving his sons to bear the backlash of the dynasty's fortune. In this way, even if he could not break through the current dynasty, he could still live a comfortable life for the remaining ten thousand years.

Thinking of this, Qi Hongguang said to himself, "Don't resent me. Anyway, you can't survive the great calamity. It's a good thing for you to be free sooner."

Immediately afterwards, Qi Hongguang said to Feng Tengfei, "Pass down the order that a grand court assembly will be held in three days. I have important matters to announce, and all domain lords must be present."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tengfei instantly guessed Qi Hongguang's thoughts. "Yes!"

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Golden Palace was completely silent. The domain lords of the various star regions all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Although most of the domain lords had considered fleeing the Qingyun Dynasty, they needed to remain calm, especially at such a critical moment.

No one knows whether the emperor will go on a final rampage at this moment. If he is provoked and thinks that the entire dynasty is beyond saving, it is not impossible that he will drag everyone down with him.

Such things are commonplace in the universe.

At this moment, dark clouds still loomed over the city outside the main hall, and the entire Golden Palace appeared very dim and oppressive.

After a long silence, Qi Hongguang, seated on the dragon throne, finally spoke: "I intend to abdicate and yield the throne to a more worthy successor."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned, especially Qi Hongguang's sons.

Qi Hongguang's abdication means that the throne will fall to one of them. Now that the Qingyun Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, who would dare to become emperor?

At this moment, the eldest prince stepped forward and said, "Father, my second brother is virtuous and talented, wise and brave. I recommend him to be the new ruler of the dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the second prince panicked and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Father, my elder brother is kind-hearted and skilled in both literature and martial arts. Under his leadership, the Qingyun Dynasty will surely become even more prosperous."

Following this, several other princes stepped forward to express their support for the eldest or second prince to succeed to the throne.

Qi Hongguang remained silent, simply sitting quietly on the dragon throne, watching his sons pass the buck to each other.

After an unknown amount of time, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder that echoed through the hall. The princes realized their lapse in decorum and stopped speaking.

At this moment, Qi Hongguang spoke up and continued, "As princes of the Qingyun Dynasty and my offspring, you should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the dynasty. If you don't even have this much awareness, then you are not worthy to be my children."

"I am very disappointed in you."

Qi Hongguang's words did not make them feel ashamed. At this moment, the princes wished that Qi Hongguang would expel them from the royal family.

Qi Hongguang glanced at the princes present again, his gaze finally settling on the eldest prince. Then, Qi Hongguang continued, "I hereby decree that the eldest prince is virtuous and talented, proficient in both literature and martial arts. From this day forward, he shall be the Crown Prince of the Qingyun Dynasty. Three days from now, I will formally abdicate and pass the throne to him."

Upon hearing Qi Hongguang's words, the eldest prince felt a wave of dizziness and fainted.

The other princes instantly revealed gloating smiles. They were all glad that they weren't the eldest, otherwise the throne might have fallen into their hands.

Qi Hongguang didn't care what the princes thought. He raised his hand, and a surge of power flowed into the eldest prince's body, causing the prince, who had fainted, to gradually wake up.

When the eldest prince woke up and found himself still in the main hall, he was immediately overwhelmed with despair. However, he quickly came up with a plan: if his father could pass the throne to him, he could also pass the throne to his child before the Great Xia Dynasty attacked.

The eldest prince is at least several thousand years old, with many children; it wouldn't be difficult for him to pass the throne to someone else.

Thinking about this made him feel much better.

Three days later, Qi Hongguang abdicated, handing over the throne to the crown prince, and immediately left the Qingyun Dynasty.

After receiving the dynasty's fortune, the new emperor's strength rapidly increased, and he directly broke through to the quasi-emperor realm.

However, the increase in strength did not make the new Emperor Yun reluctant to accept the position. He announced his abdication the very next day.

And so, the emperors of the Qingyun Dynasty changed rapidly, one every day. In fact, when the army of the Great Xia Dynasty entered the Qingyun Dynasty, the Qingyun Dynasty changed more than a dozen emperors in a single day.

Three months later.

The Azure Cloud Dynasty, the Imperial Star.

At the palace gate, Lu Chen looked at the pregnant woman in front of him and fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen finally spoke to the minister of the Qingyun Dynasty beside him, asking, "Do you mean your dynasty's ruler is still in the womb?"

The ministers knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not answer.

Lu Chen was also a little confused; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He then glanced once more at the heavily pregnant woman in front of him, sighed, and said, "Give birth to the baby."

The woman immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

Lu Chen didn't say anything more and walked directly into the palace.

Over the past three months, their attack on the Qingyun Dynasty has encountered no obstacles and they have directly reached the Qingyun Dynasty's imperial star. Lu Chen originally thought that the Qingyun Dynasty was planning to surrender and that Qi Hongguang would declare his allegiance to him like Qi Shi did.

To his surprise, when he arrived in the capital, almost the entire Qi family had fled, leaving only a pregnant woman.

As Lu Chen walked towards the palace, he said to Qi Shi beside him, "Your Qi family is truly remarkable!" (End of Chapter)
