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

Crimson Moon Dynasty.

The capital city, the imperial palace.

In a secret chamber with walls painted with various runes, an old man sat cross-legged in the center of the hall. His body resembled a withered tree, and he exuded a black aura of death, suggesting that his time was near.

Just then, the old man spat out a mouthful of black blood, followed by several more mouthfuls.

The old man collapsed to the ground, but he struggled to prop himself up with his hands. He slowly sat up. "So...it still won't work..."

Pei Tianlu sighed deeply, then transmitted his voice to the guards outside the secret chamber, saying, "Have His Majesty and the Eldest Princess come to this old man."

"yes!"

Upon hearing Pei Tianlu's telepathic message, the guards immediately left the secret chamber to inform the emperor and princess of the Crimson Moon Dynasty. A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow dragon robe and wearing a pure gold crown appeared outside the secret chamber.

The middle-aged man asked the guard at the entrance of the secret chamber with an anxious expression, "How is the patriarch?"

The guard replied, "Your Majesty, we don't know either. The Ancestor only sent you and the Princess; he didn't say anything more."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wenfu's face instantly darkened.

The eldest princess?

He was the emperor of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, yet even at this point, the ancestor of the Crimson Moon Dynasty was still thinking about that woman.

Moreover, summoning both of them at the same time was clearly not a good thing. In addition, the recent rumors circulating in the Crimson Moon Dynasty about the deposed emperor made Pei Wenfu feel very uneasy.

Although he felt uneasy, Pei Wenfu remained quietly outside the secret room, waiting for the woman to arrive.

After a while, a stunningly beautiful, dignified and noble woman slowly walked towards the entrance of the secret room. She wore a long black-purple dress, had a graceful figure, and exuded the charm of a mature woman with every gesture.

When the woman arrived at the entrance of the secret chamber, she glanced indifferently at Pei Wenfu before saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Pei Wenfu forced a smile and then said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite in front of family."

Pei Shuhua said calmly, "Propriety must not be disregarded."

After saying that, Pei Shuhua stopped talking and turned her gaze to the door of the secret room in front of her.

Seeing that Pei Shuhua hadn't looked at him directly from beginning to end, a shadowy glint flashed in Pei Wenfu's eyes.

This woman really doesn't respect the emperor at all!

We'll see how it goes. Once that old bastard inside dies, let's see how long she can keep up her arrogance.

Thinking of this, Pei Wenfu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Just then, an old man's voice came from inside the secret room, "Come in, all of you."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the stone door to the secret chamber slowly opened, and Pei Wenfu and Pei Shuhua hurriedly entered the chamber.

The two entered the secret chamber, and the stone door closed again, leaving only the three of them in the chamber.

Seeing the black blood on the ground, Pei Shuhua knelt down beside the old man with a worried expression. "Grandfather, how are you?"

Pei Tianlu sighed and said, "My time is almost up, and in the end, I still can't take that step."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua was slightly stunned, and a few wrinkles appeared on her fair forehead.

The ancestor of the Crimson Moon Dynasty was the pillar of the entire dynasty. Now, the Crimson Moon Dynasty only has Emperor Pei Tianlu left. If even Pei Tianlu falls, the Crimson Moon Dynasty will probably only end up being divided up by other dynasties.

Pei Wenfu knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Ancestor, you can't be harmed! If you perish, our Crimson Moon Dynasty will probably be destroyed by other dynasties in no time."

"Ancestor, I will definitely have someone find a treasure that can prolong your life."

Pei Tianlu raised his head, glanced at Pei Wenfu with a meaningful look, and then said, "It's no use. I know very well what my physical condition is like."

Pei Wenfu said with a worried expression, "What should we do? Now, several major dynasties have sent many spies to the capital to gather information, and the activities of various forces are becoming more and more frequent. Once they find out that you, Ancestor, have fallen, the Crimson Moon Dynasty will be finished."

Pei Tianlu sighed deeply, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly started coughing violently again. Pei Shuhua quickly patted Pei Tianlu's back.

After a while, Pei Tianlu calmed his disordered breathing and then said, "The most urgent matter is that there is only one last solution left."

Pei Wenfu, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Pei Tianlu replied, "That is to create a Great Emperor."

This……

Upon hearing Pei Tianlu's suggestion, Pei Shuhua and Pei Wenfu, the two wicked women, froze on the spot.

To create a great emperor?

It's not that easy to break through to the Great Emperor's level.

Even Pei Shuhua, who is known as the most talented person in the last 100,000 years, is currently stuck at the Quasi-Emperor level for 5,000 years. If Pei Tianlu can persist for another tens of thousands of years, Pei Shuhua may be able to break through to the Great Emperor level.

But judging from Pei Tianlu's appearance, he probably wouldn't last even a thousand years, let alone ten thousand.

It's impossible for Pei Shuhua to break through and become an emperor in such a short time.

Pei Tianlu continued, "Back when I was on the outer battlefield, I heard a certain lord mention a method for forcibly breaking through to the Great Emperor realm."

"Now that you, Shuhua, have reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, you are just one step away from becoming an Emperor. You can try using this method to break through."

"However, the chances of success are extremely slim, and if you fail, you will also perish."

"Furthermore, even if an emperor breaks through to the next level using this method, his strength will not be comparable to that of a true emperor. However, this method is currently the only way to help the Crimson Moon Dynasty quickly get out of its predicament. It all depends on whether you are willing to do so."

Upon hearing Pei Tianlu's words, Pei Shuhua was utterly shocked. It was the first time she had ever heard of a method that could help someone forcibly break through to the Great Emperor level.

If such a method really existed, wouldn't the universe already be filled with emperors?

Upon hearing Pei Tianlu's words, Pei Wenfu felt anxious and uneasy. Pei Shuhua was already superior to him in every way because she was a quasi-emperor. If Pei Shuhua became the only emperor of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, would he still be the master of the Crimson Moon Dynasty in the future?

Thinking of this, Pei Wenfu hurriedly said, "Ancestor, you must not! Although I don't know if the method you mentioned will succeed, even if it does, there will definitely be significant side effects. Otherwise, someone would have already used this method to become an emperor."

"My elder sister is the most talented person in the Red Moon Dynasty in the past 100,000 years. Her future achievements are limitless. Sooner or later she will be able to prove herself as an emperor. How can we use such a method with such great side effects to force her to grow faster?"

Pei Shuhua remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly looked up at Pei Tianlu. "Ancestor, please tell me, what method is it? I'm willing to try anything that can help the Crimson Moon Dynasty escape its predicament." (End of Chapter)
