#2266 - The royal family is not
After venting, the Dusk Sun Emperor slumped dejectedly on the dragon bed, his face ashen.
At this moment, he was stark naked, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his own disappointing member, the muscles in his face twitching uncontrollably.
He compared it to his little finger, and his whole body trembled.
It was now thinner than his little finger, and only as long as a single knuckle, looking for all the world like a shriveled, limp caterpillar!
The Dusk Sun Emperor stared blankly for a long time before forcibly calming down and hurriedly examining his body.
He repeatedly checked his body inside and out, but found absolutely nothing wrong.
Why would this happen?
When did it start?
For many years, he had focused all his energy on managing the imperial affairs and cultivation.
Since having the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, he had no longer engaged in marital pleasures with the Empress or his concubines.
Now, he didn't even know when he had become impotent.
Thinking of this, he felt an urge to vomit blood.
It was late into the night.
The Dusk Sun Emperor left his palace and went to the royal treasury, taking out many heavenly treasures containing the essence of life and an object shaped like a placenta.
After returning to his palace, he condensed the essence blood of his life origin from his body and dripped it into the object.
Then, he refined some of the heavenly treasures containing the essence of life, using secret methods to inject vital energy into it.
However, within the object, his origin blood essence did not change in the slightest.
He kept at it until dawn was approaching, already drenched in sweat, but still hadn't achieved the desired effect.
"How can this be! Even using the essence blood secret method to nurture a divine embryo is not working!
Is this Emperor destined to be without descendants?"
His lips trembled, and his face was pale.
At that moment, he felt a sense of utter despair.
The object clattered to the ground.
The Dusk Sun Emperor seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing onto the ground.
His eyes were dull, his chest heaving violently, and he remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he had no choice but to force himself to calm down.
He put away the items, adjusted his state, pushed open the door, and went to the imperial forbidden grounds.
He needed to meet with the ancestors.
The ancient ancestors were Eternal Gods of Reincarnation, with unfathomable realms and heaven-defying methods, surely able to find out what was wrong with his body.
With the ancient ancestors' help, he would surely be able to recover.
Therefore, there was still hope.
Thinking of this, the Dusk Sun Emperor suddenly felt spirited again.
He couldn't help but recall his heroic prowess of lasting a quarter of an hour when his body was normal.
Back then, he felt truly mighty and unparalleled, and all the concubines praised him for being brave, strong, and long-lasting.
As long as the ancient ancestors took action, they would definitely solve his impotence problem, and he would regain his heroic quarter of an hour.
When he arrived at the forbidden grounds and awakened the ancestors.
The imperial family's ancestral powerhouses were all very dissatisfied.
How long had they been in a state of cultivation?
The Emperor had actually come to disturb their cultivation again.
Was he becoming increasingly unable to make decisions on his own?
He had to ask them about everything; how was he acting as an Emperor?
"What is it? Can't you make your own decisions?
An Emperor should have his own opinions."
An ancient ancestor of the Dusk Sun Imperial Family spoke indifferently, his cold expression revealing a hint of displeasure.
"Venerable Ancestor, it's not that I can't make decisions, but this matter is indeed beyond my capabilities..."
"What matter?"
"I..." The Dusk Sun Emperor opened his mouth, bracing himself, and said, "I'm impotent..."
"What nonsense?"
The imperial family's ancestors were all stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. "Explain yourself clearly; what is it that's impotent?"
The Dusk Sun Emperor's face was unsightly as he gritted his teeth and said, "It's... it's my second brother who's impotent..."
"Your second brother, Prince Yi?"
"Not that second brother, it's the second brother below..."
The Dusk Sun Emperor pointed to his crotch.
"Are you saying you're impotent?"
The imperial family's ancestors exchanged glances, feeling astonished and even incredulous.
The Emperor was a cultivator, a Supreme God Realm expert; how could he be impotent?
It sounded like a fantasy.
"This matter is hard for us to believe.
You, a dignified Supreme God, are saying you're impotent?
Could it be that you've been secretly cultivating some special secret technique, and suffered a backlash?"
"No, absolutely not! Venerable Ancestors, please investigate thoroughly; I definitely haven't cultivated any secret techniques.
Last night, I wanted to share a bed with the Empress, only to discover that I was impotent.
Later, I brought in many enchanting palace maids, letting them do their best to tease and seduce me, but there was still no reaction..."
The Dusk Sun Emperor felt extremely humiliated.
Even though he was facing his own ancestors, he still felt very embarrassed.
"Take it off, let us see."
"This..."
The Dusk Sun Emperor hesitated.
"Take it off!"
The Dusk Sun Emperor gritted his teeth, loosened his belt, and then abruptly pulled down his pants.
"Ugh..."
The Dusk Sun Imperial Family's ancestors made a chorus of hissing sounds, the muscles in their faces twitching, as they looked at the Dusk Sun Emperor's crotch with great disgust.
A hegemon, a Supreme God Realm expert, and yet that thing was like a caterpillar.
It was simply a tragic sight, unbearable to look at; even a three-year-old child would be thicker than that, right?
"It seems that there is indeed a problem with your body.
However, do not worry; with us here, solving this kind of thing is extremely simple.
Quickly put on your pants; your caterpillar is embarrassing for us to look at."
The Dusk Sun Emperor's face twisted a few times, and he hurriedly pulled up his pants.
"Come here, let me take a look."
An ancestor beckoned to the Dusk Sun Emperor.
The Dusk Sun Emperor walked over, and the ancestor grabbed his wrist, sending true energy of law and divine sense into his body to begin examining him.
At the beginning, he was still full of confidence.
Gradually, his expression turned astonished and solemn.
The Dusk Sun Emperor had been paying attention to the ancestor's change in expression, and seeing this expression, his heart sank.
The hope that had originally risen was now gradually approaching the brink of shattering.
"What's the situation?"
The other ancestors all looked at the ancestor who was examining the Dusk Sun Emperor's body.
"Strange, I can't find any problems..."
That ancestor shook his head, saying, "There's nothing wrong with the Emperor's body; everything is normal.
Since it's normal, how could a Supreme God Realm expert experience impotence?"
"How can this be? It completely defies common sense!
Let us take a look!"
Several other Eternal God Realm ancestors of the Dusk Sun Imperial Family stepped forward to examine the Dusk Sun Emperor's body.
Their expressions were the same as the ancestor's earlier, and they ultimately shook their heads.
"Venerable Ancestors, is there no hope for me?"
The Dusk Sun Emperor's face was pale, and his hope was completely shattered; enduring the blow a second time made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss.
"If we can't find the cause, we naturally can't solve it.
This matter is truly strange; have you touched anything special recently?"
"No, I've been in the palace and haven't left, living the same life as before.
Besides, I don't even know when this situation started.
After all, since having the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, I haven't favored the Empress and concubines."
"Since you're not enthusiastic about matters between men and women, then impotence is just impotence; what does it matter?
As for descendants, we can only choose to use secret methods to nurture divine embryos with essence blood.
It's just that it will take a little longer."
"No! I am the Lord of the Dynasty, the exalted Emperor; how can I be an impotent man!"
The Dusk Sun Emperor found it difficult to accept this cruel reality.
Whether he uses that thing or not is one thing, but whether he can use it is another.
The gun doesn't have to be drawn, but there can't be no gun in the holster!
"Besides, I've tried using secret methods to nurture divine embryos with essence blood, but I found that it still doesn't work!
I am now without descendants!"
The Dusk Sun Emperor's last sentence was almost a roar.
"What? How could such a situation occur?
Let us try!"
The ancestors of the Dusk Sun Imperial Family clearly didn't believe it; it didn't make sense.
A person is impotent, and their life essence blood can't nurture a divine embryo?
What kind of logic is that?
The Dusk Sun Emperor took out the object for nurturing divine embryos, as well as the heavenly treasures he had prepared last night.
An ancestor of the Dusk Sun Imperial Family immediately extracted a drop of life essence blood from his body and began to use the secret method.
As a result, it was indeed as the Dusk Sun Emperor had said; the essence blood didn't change at all and couldn't nurture a divine embryo!
"Impossible!"
They exchanged glances, and then used their own life essence blood to try.
The result made their faces as black as charcoal!
Not only was the Emperor's essence blood useless, but theirs was as well.
Every ancestor of the Dusk Sun Imperial Family tried it once, and not a single person could succeed.
For a time, the imperial forbidden grounds were silent.
Coming back to their senses, strange expressions appeared on the faces of the Dusk Sun Imperial Family's ancestors.
They almost simultaneously used their divine sense to check their crotches.
They usually wouldn't pay attention to it at all.
But now, upon looking, the muscles in their faces twitched in unison.
Only then did they discover that, at some unknown time, their places had all atrophied, just like the Emperor's, shrinking into a caterpillar.
They concentrated their thoughts, trying to make it change and rise, but there was no reaction.
It was as if that part was completely disconnected from their bodies!
"How could this be?"
The Dusk Sun Imperial Family's ancestors trembled all over.
"Venerable Ancestors, what's wrong with you?"
The Dusk Sun Emperor looked at them in confusion; why did the ancestors suddenly have such strong emotional changes?
Could it be that the ancestors...?
Suddenly thinking that the ancestors were also like him, with their essence blood unable to nurture divine embryos, then could it be that their second brothers had also atrophied?
"Quick! Go and summon all your brothers and younger brothers!"
The old ancestors of the Sunset Dynasty had a very bad premonition and ordered the Sunset Emperor to summon all the princes of this generation.
"Alright!"
The Sunset Emperor realized that his guess might have come true and hurriedly left.
"Have we been plotted against?"
Watching the Emperor's departing figure, the royal ancestors all looked grim.
How outrageous!
They, existences of such stature, had actually fallen victim to impotence!
If those princes were also like this, wouldn't the entire royal family be without descendants?
"It's impossible for such a situation to arise for no reason, and for all of us to be like this!
Someone must be targeting us in secret, causing us to be unknowingly affected!
We have been focused on cultivation for many years and don't even know when it started!"
"If someone is harming us, secretly tampering with us, how strong would that person have to be?"
They felt terrified; even Reincarnation Gods were unaware. The methods of the person who took action were simply heaven-defying!
"No, that's not right. If someone is targeting our royal family, with their methods, capable of doing so to this extent, they would be unimaginably strong, and there would be no need to go to such lengths. They could directly destroy our royal family!"
"Yes, that's indeed the case in theory.
A person with such methods has probably surpassed the realm of Reincarnation Gods!
With their power, they could destroy our royal family with a flip of their hand, so why waste effort?
Besides, why would such a strong person come to deal with us?"
"What do you think, could it be that the Emperor inadvertently contracted or touched something terrifying when he went out in the past, leading to a curse?
This curse can be transmitted to those with the same bloodline, causing us all to become like this?"
"From a comprehensive analysis of all aspects, I'm afraid this is the only possibility!
Is heaven really going to cut off the descendants of our Sunset Dynasty!"
… …
Not long after, the Sunset Emperor and a group of princes hurried over.
Those princes didn't know what had happened, and they were all confused. They asked the Emperor on the way, but the Emperor kept a dark face and didn't say anything, making them feel uneasy.
"Greetings, Ancestors, I don't know…"
Before a few princes could finish speaking, their voices suddenly stopped, and they only felt a chill in their lower bodies.
"Ancestors, what is this?"
They looked puzzled and embarrassed. The ancestors pulled down their pants as soon as they arrived.
Seeing that the ancestors didn't answer, but just stared at a certain part of their bodies with dark faces.
They suddenly looked down, their eyes falling between their legs, their pupils suddenly contracted, and the muscles on their faces twitched.
"What's going on, how could this be, my little brother!"
A group of princes let out heart-wrenching screams.
"Stop howling!"
The ancestors of the Sunset Dynasty let out a deep shout, and then extracted a drop of essence blood from their bodies, trying to cultivate a divine embryo.
As expected, there was no suspense. As they had guessed, it was impossible to conceive a divine embryo.
"Our royal family is without descendants!"
The royal ancestors let out a sigh of unwillingness.
For a time, the forbidden area of the royal family fell into silence again.
"Ancestors, what should we do now?
With such a thing happening to our royal family, who will inherit the throne?"
The Sunset Emperor was most concerned about this.
"Since there are no descendants, you can only continue to sit on the throne!"
"No, Ancestors, this great era, such a good opportunity and environment, how can I miss it!
In the future, when the Immortal Realm bestows laws, I will also have to retreat and cultivate. I don't want to delay my chance to become a Reincarnation God in the future because of the affairs of the dynasty!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
The voices of the royal ancestors were low.
"Why don't we let a prince ascend to the throne?"
A prince tentatively spoke.
"Presumptuous!"
As soon as the prince finished speaking, he was immediately met with a cold shout from the Sunset Emperor.
His cold gaze instantly locked onto the prince, causing his body to tremble, and he only felt cold all over, not daring to speak anymore.
"What qualifications does a prince have to directly ascend to the throne?
Will the people of the world accept it? Or are you already thinking about usurping the throne?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. We didn't mean that, we wouldn't dare to think that…"
Several princes hurriedly explained.
"Alright, they are also making suggestions based on the current situation, so Emperor, don't blame them.
Tell me, if you don't continue to sit on the throne, who should sit on it?"
Several of the most prestigious royal ancestors spoke.
They were all emperors of previous generations, direct ancestors of the current Sunset Emperor, and naturally did not want the throne to fall into the hands of the sons of other princes.
