Chapter 333: The final step in the fight for the throne! The
Facts have proved that Lu Changsheng's idea was not wrong at all.
The forces under the command of the three princes, one by one, got all the divine objects they could get as quickly as possible, and then came to the princess's mansion in person and handed them over to Lu Changsheng.
Some of the forces said they had divine objects, but they didn't.
Lu Changsheng didn't need to do anything.
The people in the princess's mansion directly destroyed that force.
At this time, the remaining forces knew Lu Changsheng's status in the princess's mansion even more, so how could they dare to neglect him?
Lu Changsheng collected all the divine objects, a total of thirteen of these divine objects.
Twelve of them were divine objects at the spiritual body level.
Only one was a divine object at the divine body level.
Lu Changsheng was actually very satisfied.
There was really a divine object at the divine body level.
Then Lu Changsheng naturally differentiated into clones and practiced one by one.
A few days later, Lu Changsheng had as many as twenty-five clones.
There were a total of nine clones at the divine body level, and sixteen clones at the spiritual body level.
This is a very terrifying number.
What kind of power will burst out once the twenty-five clones merge?
Lu Changsheng couldn't imagine it.
He was now really sure that he could walk sideways in the God's Capital.
In fact, once his clones merged, they would definitely be stronger than the original body.
Even those top martial arts supremes might be beaten.
What is opportunity?
This is opportunity!
It has been about a year since Lu Changsheng entered the Kunwu Realm.
In just one year, Lu Changsheng got unimaginable opportunities.
"Next are the eldest prince and the third prince."
"They can become the three giants in the fight for the throne, and their own foundation must not be worse than other princes. Once these two princes are defeated, the harvest will be very rich."
"Finally, there is a biggest treasure house."
Lu Changsheng raised his head and looked at the palace in the distance.
Yes, the palace is the biggest treasure house!
How many gods and treasures have the Dagan royal family looted in ruling the world for so many years?
Even, there are clues about the immortal body, which are probably in the palace.
But we can't rush now.
The palace has a national treasure!
It can even kill the supreme martial arts master, so this national treasure is very terrifying.
Lu Changsheng felt that the national treasure should be a terrifying treasure comparable to the ancestral realm.
In the Kunwu Realm, even the supreme martial arts master would be excluded, let alone the ancestral realm.
The ancestral realm cannot enter the Kunwu Realm at all.
The national treasure that can burst out the power comparable to the ancestral realm is naturally unique and invincible.
Even if Lu Changsheng's strength has skyrocketed now, he dare not say that he can compete with the national treasure.
He still has to take it slowly.
Assist the Ninth Princess to succeed in winning the throne, and then ascend to the throne and slowly sit on the position of the Supreme Nine Five, then he will have the opportunity to go to the royal treasury to take a peek.
So, Lu Changsheng began to practice in the princess's mansion again.
No matter how turbulent the outside world is, Lu Changsheng is calm and unmoved.
In fact, the outside world is indeed turbulent now.
Many princes were "cleared out", which is equivalent to being "eliminated" from the fight for the throne.
They almost lost hope of winning the throne.
But this is not the most shocking thing.
The most shocking thing is the rumor about Lu Changsheng in the princess's mansion.
It is rumored that Lu Changsheng razed the mansions of the three princes overnight and suppressed many masters of the three princes by himself.
When this rumor came out, countless people were shocked.
They even thought it was nonsense and felt it was extremely absurd.
One person razed the three princes overnight?
Are the masters under the princes really paper-made?
Most people don't believe it.
However, the eldest prince and the third prince believed it.
Because their source of information is very clear.
Lu Changsheng really did it!
Overnight, wiped out the three princes!
"Lu Changsheng... I never thought that my ninth sister would become my biggest worry!"
"My ninth sister was one of those who were 'cleared' at the beginning. I never thought that she would grow to this point in such a short time. She has taken over all the power of the three princes. In addition to Lu Changsheng's prestige in the capital, countless officials have begun to make choices and join the princess's mansion. My ninth sister is really a big deal."
"Old Third, what did I say at the beginning? You and I have been fighting for so long, but in the end, someone else will pick the peach."
"Brother, you don't need to stir up trouble here. My ninth sister is my biggest worry, isn't she your biggest worry? At this point in the fight for the throne, we actually have no way back. Among the three of us, only one person will succeed in the fight for the throne. Forget about any other conspiracies and tricks. They are useless. If you want to win the throne, you have to rely on real hard power!"
The eldest prince and the third prince are now sitting opposite each other.
Discussing about the ninth princess with each other.
The eldest prince and the third prince are actually very special.
When they were young, they had a good relationship.
But when they grew up, they gradually began to understand their own identities, and even started to fight for the throne, and then they drifted apart.
Now that the Ninth Princess has risen, both of them want to fight against the Ninth Princess head-on, and both will suffer losses.
But, how is it possible?
At this point, no one is a fool.
Who doesn't know the truth that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind, or the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?
"The imperial physician told me that my father may not last for more than three months. Maybe he won't last for three months. The peaceful days for the three of us may be coming to an end."
"Yes, the fight for the throne has come to an end now, and the winner must be decided."
"The royal elders will probably ask the three of us to go to the palace soon."
The two looked at each other and understood each other's determination.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
This is fate in the royal family!
However, with the end of the "clearing", the entire city of gods became very calm.
It was quite a calm before the storm.
Countless forces have chosen to stand in their own side.
Countless officials who are willing to go all out have made their choices now.
The current emperor is seriously ill, and this news is no longer a secret.
Everyone knows that the fight for the throne is basically over.
The final winner is about to be decided.
The more critical the moment, the quieter the entire city of gods becomes.
There are even fewer people on the streets.
But secretly, there were many twists and turns, and countless undercurrents were surging.
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
The emperor's condition had not improved.
However, on this day, a group of special people came to the emperor's bedroom.
These people were all wearing black robes.
The black robes were embroidered with dragon-shaped gold threads.
Each of them had a majestic aura.
Even the concubines and ministers were shocked when they saw this group of people.
Because the identities of this group of people were not simple.
They were members of the Royal Elders Council.
The members of the Royal Elders Council were all members of the royal family.
And they were the old men in the royal family who had refined the divine objects.
They were all the predecessors of the royal family.
Each of them was so senior that it was frightening.
Of course, if it was just like this, then the Royal Elders Council was actually just like this, at best just a mascot.
After all, the Royal Elders Council would not interfere in the political affairs of the Divine Dynasty.
But the reason why the Royal Elders Council was so important was that it could even abolish and support the emperor at an extraordinary moment.
There is only one reason.
The national treasure!
The royal elders hold the national treasure!
The emperor has the right to use the national treasure, but he also needs the consent of the royal elders.
This is why the royal elders have so much power.
"Everyone, go out."
An old man in black robes said in a hoarse voice and cold tone.
"Yes, uncle."
The queen glanced at the old man in black robes.
She knew him.
The uncle in the elders had a close relationship with the emperor.
At this time, the royal elders suddenly came, and it was obviously mostly to decide the candidate for the "crown prince".
It was time to really decide the "crown prince".
They really wanted to know how the emperor and the elders decided.
But the elders had already started to drive people away, and they didn't dare to stay any longer.
Soon, only the emperor and several members of the royal elders were left in the emperor's bedroom.
"Emperor, have you made a decision?"
The uncle asked.
The emperor was just seriously ill, not unable to speak.
The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the elders have made a decision. What objection can I have?"
"Uncle, can't I use that divine object?"
"Am I not doing well enough? Under my governance, the national strength of the Dagan Dynasty is growing day by day, and the national fortune has reached the best in the world. Why can't I extend my life?"
"I don't ask for immortality, but I can extend my life for twenty years. Can't I even have twenty years?"
"With my achievements, can't I extend my life for twenty years?"
The emperor was still unwilling.
His face flushed as he questioned his uncle.
Or rather, he questioned the people of the royal elders.
In fact, there are things that can extend life in the Kunwu Realm.
After all, there are divine objects, so how can there be no way to extend life?
It's just that it's very precious.
The Dagan royal family owns the world, so how can there be no things that can extend life?
But the royal family seems to have its own rules.
"Emperor, have you forgotten the ancestral precepts?"
"The emperor cannot use things that prolong life. This is the answer you already knew when you succeeded in your bid for the throne."
"You have nothing to do with your achievements. No matter how great your achievements are, you cannot use things that prolong life."
"Okay, the emperor should know why we are here today. Our elders will invite the eldest prince, the third prince, and the ninth princess to the palace to compete for the position of crown prince."
"Now we are just informing the emperor. Emperor, you can just rest assured and recuperate."
After saying that, the uncle turned around and left the emperor's bedroom.
The elders are naturally aware of this situation.
They are even used to it.
Which emperor doesn't want to live forever?
With the first twenty years, there will definitely be the second twenty years, and then the third and fourth, endlessly.
That will eventually drag the entire royal family and the entire Dagan Dynasty into the abyss.
The emperor wants to use things that prolong life?
The royal elders will be the first to disagree!
"I am not willing to accept it..."
The emperor roared in his bedroom.
Then he seemed to be extremely angry and vomited blood again.
That day, it was rumored that the emperor's condition had worsened and he would not live long.
However, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the ninth princess were no longer interested in the emperor's condition.
Because they all received a special "invitation".
Inviting them to visit the palace.
But it was not an invitation from the emperor, but... the Royal Elders!
The three of them certainly understood the status of the Royal Elders.
For a moment, the three of them were shocked.
What was supposed to come finally came!
At the Princess's Mansion, the Ninth Princess found Lu Changsheng alone.
"Princess, what's the matter?"
Lu Changsheng asked calmly.
During this period, he was very leisurely.
He didn't have to deal with trivial matters at all.
He just kept studying the divine body and the spiritual body.
The clone can also cultivate the divine body.
Although the progress is very slow, it can still be improved.
However, if the cultivation of the divine body is carried out step by step, it is very difficult to improve even 1%.
Not to mention the perfection of the divine body.
It seems that there is no hope of any perfection of the divine body.
At least not in the short term.
Lu Changsheng has such an extraordinary understanding, but it is still like this, not to mention others.
It is estimated that there are not many people who still have hope for the perfection of the divine body.
The Ninth Princess looked solemn. She took a deep breath, took out an "invitation", and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, the palace sent me an invitation."
"Invitation?"
Lu Changsheng took it and looked at it.
"Invitation from the Royal Elders..."
Lu Changsheng understood.
The most powerful person in the royal family is the emperor, this is generally the case.
But everyone knows.
The real pillar of the royal family is not the emperor, but... the Elders!
The Elders hold the national treasures.
They can abolish and establish at critical moments.
And there is another point.
Basically, every "crown prince" is not decided by the emperor.
It is decided by the Royal Elders Council.
Including this emperor, he was recognized by the Royal Elders Council when he became the crown prince.
The fight for the throne is actually to satisfy the Royal Elders Council.
The winner is the crown prince!
Now the invitation letter from the Royal Elders Council has arrived.
That means the fight for the throne has reached the last step!
Lu Changsheng raised his head and looked at the Ninth Princess.
He could see that the determined Ninth Princess in front of him was actually a little nervous.
After all, this was the last step in the fight for the throne, who wouldn't be nervous?
It was estimated that the Ninth Princess had never thought that her fate would change so drastically in such a short period of time.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a drastic change.
How could she have thought a year ago that she would have the opportunity to reach the last step in the fight for the throne?
It was estimated that she was not even as good as the Thirteenth Prince at that time.
If she hadn't met Lu Changsheng, she would have been eliminated long ago.
"Your Highness, you don't need to be nervous or anxious. With Lu, the position of the crown prince must belong to your Highness, and no one can take it away!"
Lu Changsheng spoke slowly, but it seemed that there was a kind of magic that made people feel at ease.
The Ninth Princess was sure in her heart.
Yes, with Lu Changsheng, what else did she worry about?
"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Lu tomorrow."
The Ninth Princess didn't say anything more.
Everything is self-evident!
The reason why she was nervous was actually because the Princess's Mansion had changed too fast during this period.
She herself didn't have that much confidence and self-confidence.
But she had Lu Changsheng.
This was her biggest confidence!
The next day, several luxury convoys slowly drove towards the palace.
At the gate of the palace, three convoys stopped.
There were already guards guarding the gate, and even the number of guards increased several times.
Obviously, they had received the news that today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
"Meet the eldest prince, the third prince, and the ninth princess."
"Your convoys cannot enter the palace. The elders' group means that each prince can only bring five followers."
The guards stopped the convoy.
"Five followers?"
The eldest prince, the third prince, and the ninth princess all lifted the curtains.
If there were only five followers, they would have to think carefully.
They had more than five followers.
Moreover, there were more than five masters who had forged the foundation of the spiritual body.
This obviously required the selection of the strongest five.
But the three of them also knew that this was the intention of the elders.
They could not bargain at all, so they could only select five followers.
"Okay, please come in."
So the guard let him go.
The carriage drove slowly in again, all the way to a spacious martial arts arena deep in the palace.
"Buzz".
Instantly, there was a terrifying force in the martial arts arena, which instantly covered the entire martial arts arena.
"Divine object!"
Many people's faces changed slightly.
Even those who had forged the foundation of the divine body were no exception.
Because they felt threatened.
This kind of divine object actually made those who had forged the foundation of the divine body feel threatened.
Although it is not a national divine object, it is more powerful than the divine objects at the divine body level.
"Don't panic, everyone. This is a divine object used by the elders to ensure that the martial arts arena is foolproof and will not affect the entire palace because of the battle."
Just then, dozens of old men appeared.
The several old men in the lead were the elders of the elders.
They were the powerful people in the royal family, and they could even depose and enthrone the emperor.
The eldest prince, the third prince, and the ninth princess all got off the carriage and saluted to the elders, saying, "Greetings, elders!"
The elders nodded slightly.
Then he said calmly: "You should all know that at this point in the fight for the throne, only the three of you are capable of winning the throne and becoming the crown prince."
"The emperor is not in good health, and the crown prince position needs to be decided as soon as possible."
"So, today I asked the three of you to come here to decide the crown prince position."
The three people were startled.
Although they could probably guess the purpose of coming today.
However, the elders' words still made them a little nervous.
After waiting for so long and using all kinds of means, this day finally came.
In any case, there is only one crown prince position.
There will only be one winner among the three of them today.
"May I ask the elders, how to decide the crown prince position?"
The eldest prince asked.
The decision on the crown prince position is personally presided over by the elders.
The content of each assessment is different.
Even if they are princes, they don't know what kind of assessment will appear in the elders' council.
"There are only three tests to determine the position of the crown prince this time."
"The first test is that as the crown prince, you will be the future emperor of the Divine Dynasty and have hundreds of millions of subjects under your command. So how to govern the Divine Dynasty requires extremely high wisdom."
"The Elders will use a magical object of illusion. You will fall into the illusion and become the emperor of a certain Divine Dynasty. When the illusion ends, we will see your governance results and then evaluate the ranking."
After speaking, the Elders waved their hands.
A white light instantly enveloped the three people.
All of a sudden, the three people fell into the illusion.
Although it was an illusion, it also took time.
It's just that the time may be very short.
Lu Changsheng was also looking at the elders.
These elders, one by one, were covered in black robes and looked indifferent.
But for some reason, Lu Changsheng always felt a hint of danger.
This made Lu Changsheng guess.
Even with his strength, he still felt a hint of threat.
There is only one possibility.
The national treasure!
These elders may be able to use the national treasure at any time!
Lu Changsheng had heard of the national treasure a long time ago.
It can kill the supreme martial arts master.
It can even rival the power of the ancestral realm.
He really wanted to see it a long time ago.
But now he needs to be patient.
Now is the critical moment for the Ninth Princess to win the throne, and everything will be decided after the Ninth Princess wins the throne.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Only half an hour has passed in the outside world, but in the illusion, the eldest prince, the third prince and the ninth princess have passed decades.
In the illusion, they are all supreme emperors with their words!
One word can decide the life and death of countless people.
However, they all know that they need to "govern the country".
They worked diligently at the beginning.
However, as time went on, they found more and more problems.
It is not so easy to be a good emperor.
One year, three years, five years can even keep the original intention.
But what about ten, twenty or even thirty years?
After holding power for decades, will they still keep the original intention?
There are such people, but they may not be many.
Those who have such a character must be good at governing the country.
"The time has come, wake up!"
Suddenly, the black-robed elder shouted softly.
Immediately, it sounded like a huge bell in the ears of the three people.
The three people immediately opened their eyes, obviously completely awake.
"I just..."
"The illusion is a test of the illusion."
"I became the emperor in the illusion and have been in power for thirty years..."
For a moment, the three people also remembered.
Although they knew they were facing a test when they first entered the illusion.
But the illusion lasted too long.
They gradually forgot their original intention and forgot that it was a test of the illusion.
As a result, their true nature was revealed.
The black-robed elder said calmly with a blank expression: "The eldest prince, you have been in power for thirty years in the illusion. The country is generally stable and the people are resting and recuperating. You are a king who maintains the status quo. The score is above average."
"The third prince, you have been in power for thirty years in the illusion. In the first ten years, you reformed the malpractices, forged ahead, expanded the territory, made the people rich, and the country reached its peak. In the last twenty years, you indulged in sensual pleasures and neglected government affairs. The national strength gradually weakened and left a mess for future generations. Overall, you are not too stupid and the score is acceptable."
"The ninth princess, you have been in power for thirty years in the illusion. At the beginning, you were trembling with fear, worked hard and loved the people, suppressed various forces, promoted and reused civilian talents. You expanded the territory externally, reformed government malpractices internally, and cracked down on corruption. For thirty years, you dare not relax. In thirty years, the national strength has reached an unprecedented peak. The score is excellent!"
As the black-robed elder finished speaking, the expressions of the three people were different.
The eldest prince was fine, he was always thinking, looking thoughtful.
The third prince looked grim, even looking at the ninth princess in disbelief.
He was actually very conceited.
He would never believe that he would lose to a woman in governing the country?
However, he still approved of the elders' judgment.
He did not lose his temper.
After all, his evaluation was qualified.
He had been on the throne for ten years, and he had done a good job.
In the future, as long as he reminded himself all the time and did not make mistakes, there would be no problem.
Besides, this was only the first item of the succession assessment.
There were two more items, and he still had a chance.
"By the way, in the fantasy world, after the death of the Ninth Princess, the history books rated the Ninth Princess as the eternal empress!"
"This is the highest honor among emperors!"
Suddenly, the black-robed elder spoke again.
"boom".
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked.
Especially the eldest prince and the third prince, their expressions changed instantly.
Even the eldest prince, who had always been calm and composed, could not help but change his face at this moment.
According to the judgment of history books, the eternal empress!
This is no ordinary title.
This is the highest honor among emperors!
How virtuous and capable is the Ninth Princess?
Can she actually become the eternal empress?
Even though it was just a fantasy.
Moreover, the country it governs is also an ordinary dynasty, not a divine dynasty.
There is still a big difference between a divine dynasty and a dynasty.
But this cannot be denied the ninth princess's ability to govern the country.
The purpose of the black-robed elder's words was also very clear.
In the first assessment, the elders were very satisfied with the Ninth Princess!
This put great pressure on the eldest prince and the third prince, making them more serious.
Failed the first assessment.
Then this second assessment must not be lost again.
Otherwise, there is no need for the third assessment.
Just give up the crown prince position to the Ninth Princess.
"Elder, please start the second assessment."
The third prince could no longer sit still and said eagerly.
No matter what, he had to make a comeback in the second test.
The black-robed elder did not continue talking on this topic.
In fact, he also knew it.
Divine dynasty and dynasty are really different.
Many people in the divine dynasty possess extraordinary powers and destroy cities and lands at every turn.
Many dynasty methods cannot actually be used in the divine dynasty.
It is even more difficult to govern a divine dynasty.
"Okay, then let's start the second assessment."
"The second test is will."
"Will is very important. A firm will is crucial for an emperor."
"Let's take the exam."
The black-robed elder was unwilling to say more.
Then, another burst of white light covered the three people.
The three of them fell into the illusion again.
This time the test is about will.
As for will, there are actually many types.
For example, the will to endure pain.
Another example is enduring mental pain.
There is also a long period of spiritual pain and so on.
All require the support of a firm will.
As long as the will is strong, no matter what you do, it will not be too bad.
Especially for the emperor, the will is more important.
If an emperor of a divine dynasty is not strong-willed and follows what others say, he will definitely not be able to be an emperor.
Lu Changsheng found it very interesting.
It seems that the divine dynasty is different in cultivating emperors.
This first assessment and the second assessment can indeed select an excellent emperor.
Even if they are not excellent, they will never screen out the mediocre ones.
All divine dynasties will only establish virtuous people and not long-term leaders.
If you want to become the emperor, you have to defeat your opponents one by one and pass five levels and kill six generals before you can become the prince and the emperor!
Another hour passed.
During this period, the three people's faces showed various expressions.
Some are in pain, some are calm, and some have ever-changing expressions.
But an hour later, the black-robed elder shouted again: "The time has come, wake up!"
The sound is like thunder.
The eldest prince, the third prince and the ninth princess were all awakened by the loud shout and slowly opened their eyes. (End of chapter)
