Chapter 298: Chapter 184: The Taboo Jointly Buried by the Nine Marshals!_3

The screen broke apart and then slowly reformed.

Like a scene transition, Qin Shi saw an even more weathered He Lanchan.

The white hair remained, but his face bore the marks of time.

This time, he didn’t sit on the Lotus Stone Seat.

He stood silently with his hands behind his back in the Void Space.

“Teacher, I finally understand why the thing you obtained would tear apart Dongxia. Its existence shakes the very foundation!”

He Lanchan’s voice was hoarse, even somewhat weary, like a traveler who had crossed a thousand mountains and rivers, weary and covered in dust.

“The new Dongxia Republic can no longer have an emperor. The Nine Marshals have agreed to govern the universe together; this is the foundation of the Republic.”

Qin Shi subconsciously held his breath. His Spirit resonated, feeling a strong emotion that almost shattered his Sea of Consciousness.

He kept his mind in meditation, firmly guarding his Spirit, straining to capture the tumultuous spiritual waves of He Lanchan.

He was too curious, what kind of monumental event could affect one of the first-generation ten elites?

“The four pillars of Dongxia, since the most ancient times, made a contract with Dongxia’s founding emperor. They entrusted their essence to the flame of Dongxia’s civilization, forming a totem.

Thus, no matter how turbulent and changing Dongxia becomes, it must always keep the name ‘Dongxia.’ This was a contract made by the founding emperor with the four divine pillars in the name of the nation, which must not be violated.”

He Lanchan’s heart was surging, and Qin Shi also showed a look of surprise.

He had countless times risen this question: Why could Dongxia, with its unprecedented vast territory and nine thousand-year-long reign, keep the name ‘Dongxia’?

Those who once appeared as usurpers, ambitious figures, rebel leaders, even the nine marshals, none had ever thought of changing this name.

It turned out to be a contract with the four divine pillars!

“The Zhu royal family, their imperial bloodline is imbued with the ‘Golden Seal Decree,’ made in conjunction with the four divine pillars. Only the Zhu bloodline can record the name, activate it, and become the sovereign of the Dongxia throne.

Those usurpers, great heroes, they could only hold the Zhu family hostage to achieve support. But the Nine Marshals are a group of powerful individuals committed to overthrowing everything and creating a new world, determined to entirely sweep the ’emperor’ from New Dongxia’s history.

So, Teacher, your elder brother Marshal Qin proposed a plan to control the Zhu bloodline and set up the position of Void Monarch. Every millennium, one person from the Zhu family would be selected and sent to the Void Monarch’s throne.”

He Lanchan lowered his head, as if digesting the truth he learned from that ancient celestial path.

“But in the middle of the Great Expedition, the conservative faction intending to restore the old order launched a massive attack, and almost all the Zhu bloodline was wiped out! Teacher, you were ordered to ‘protect the king,’ and saved a Zhu woman.

The Zhu bloodline is very mysterious, like a blessing or a curse. Every revived Zhu in the bloodline carries the mandate given by the four divine pillars.

Teacher, you developed feelings for that Zhu woman, and your union with her gave birth to a destiny that had not been seen for several millennia!”

Qin Shi’s mind felt like it was struck by thunder, buzzing. He immediately understood why the vice marshal had to be erased.

The offspring he and the Zhu woman created became the future Celestial Destiny Void Monarch of Dongxia!

“His uncle was Marshal Qin, a founding hero of Dongxia! His father was the vice marshal of the Fourth Battle Group! His mother had the imperial bloodline of the Zhu family, blessed by the four divine pillars from birth, with a divine mandate upon her… a protagonist template even more thrilling than a wish-fulfillment story!”

Qin Shi’s lips twitched. If that bright star of Star Sea, Marshal Qin, who could be said to be the pillar of Dongxia, was willing.

He could have completely turned the newly established Dongxia Republic into the ‘kingdom’ of the Qin Family!

Fate plays tricks, destiny decided, presenting this kind of choice before the brothers of the Qin Family.

“Once the Zhu Void Monarch sits on the throne, both body and soul must endure the burning of the divine flame, a thousand years of torment and suffering. Teacher, I do not know how you and Marshal Qin negotiated, but the result must have been a failure.

A husband watching his wife commit suicide, a father having to watch his son being punished, such pain is unimaginable. So you became disheartened and left the Imperial Capital, taking that thing with you, right.”

He Lanchan’s eyes grew red, and he opened his hand to reveal the brilliant Light Key, as dazzling as a starry river.
