281: I want to be the queen

Hum...

Lin Ye reached out with a faint gesture, and a surge of spiritual energy directly helped Wu Mingyue stand up.

"There is no need for this."

After being helped up, Wu Mingyue's beautiful eyes still held a hint of pleading and a trace of ambition.

"What do you want me to help you with?"

Hearing Lin Ye's inquiry, Wu Mingyue spoke up: "I want to become the Saint Emperor of this Wu Dynasty!"

Although he had already anticipated it, seeing the ambition in Wu Mingyue's eyes, Lin Ye still nodded in approval.

Having such ambition was only right; who wouldn't want to become a Saint Emperor? Who wouldn't want to become a Great Emperor?

When Lin Ye first joined the Righteous Qi Sect, hadn't he also thought of becoming a Saint, using the Sect's resources to rise step by step, and then, with the momentum of the Sect, launching an attack on the Chang Sheng Lin Family!

This time, the Righteous Qi Sect had sent him here.

If he wasn't mistaken, the alliance was indeed an alliance, but the person to be allied with was not the Martial Saint Emperor, but the Wu Mingyue before him.

only by having Wu Mingyue become the Saint Emperor could the benefits be maximized.

The world is bustling for profit; the world is jostling for gain.

Even in the world of cultivation, this was an unchanging reality.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye said to Wu Mingyue: "How do you intend for me to help you?"

Hearing this, Wu Mingyue recounted the so-called battle for the throne.

The Wu Dynasty, as the name implied, revered the strong; this was a very normal thing in the world of cultivation, but within an Immortal Dynasty, sometimes, might was not the only factor.

After all, an Immortal Dynasty was much like a secular dynasty, following the same imperial system.

After all, the heritage within the Ancestral Land belonged to the imperial family.

A minister, no matter how high their cultivation or how astonishing their talent, could absolutely never become the Saint Emperor.

The next person to become the Saint Emperor would be either a Princess or a prince.

This was also where it differed from other Immortal Dao Lineages; only those with imperial Bloodline could inherit the entire Immortal Dynasty.

If that was the case, Wu Mingyue naturally had the qualifications to become the Saint Emperor, and both her cultivation and talent were of the highest order.

As a Child of Destiny, how could her cultivation not be high?

But the Martial Saint Emperor did not think so; in his youth, he had fought in all directions and possessed great Divine Might, and he had an extremely strong desire for control; otherwise, he wouldn't have been reluctant to give up the position of Saint Emperor for so many years.

Now, his Lifespan was nearing its end.

He needed to give up the position of Saint Emperor, but he didn't intend to just wait for death; after giving up the position of Saint Emperor, he wanted to enter the Ancestral Land to receive the Legacy.

He wanted to, like those Great Emperors, live out a second life!

A second life was equivalent to a reset, allowing one's Lifespan to be recalculated, and the injuries within the body would also completely disappear.

As mentioned before, he was a person with an extremely strong desire for control, so after living out his second life, he intended to seize back the position of Saint Emperor.

Since they were all members of the imperial family, the Old Ancestors in the Ancestral Land naturally wouldn't care who was the Saint Emperor, as long as it was a member of the imperial family.

If the Martial Saint Emperor could live out a second life, it proved he was a person of astonishing talent; what problem would there be in letting him continue to be the Saint Emperor?

That was why the Martial Saint Emperor intended to pass the position to the least capable among his children.

only in this way, after he lived out his second life and came back to power, would he have a reason, and it would be very easy!

If Wu Mingyue were allowed to take the throne.

Once the Martial Saint Emperor went into seclusion, it wouldn't take long before she would likely control the entire Wu Dynasty, and even possess the resources of the entire dynasty; with Wu Mingyue's talent, she would certainly be able to reach even greater heights.

Therefore, when the Martial Saint Emperor looked at Wu Mingyue, it was not at all like he was looking at his own daughter; his eyes were full of wariness.

Just as the Martial Saint Emperor understood Wu Mingyue.

Wu Mingyue naturally understood her own father.

If it were before, she would have had no interest in this so-called position of Saint Emperor, and would have let the Martial Saint Emperor do whatever he wanted.

But now it was different.

Especially when the Martial Saint Emperor called Wu Mingyue alone to the study, that gaze filled with killing intent made Wu Mingyue realize for the first time that this so-called father did not treat her as a daughter at all!

Since that was the case, she would become the Saint Emperor of this dynasty, and completely suppress him in both cultivation and status.

By that time, even if he lived out a second life, so what?!

But before that, she had to first become the Heir, which meant becoming the legitimate successor to the next Saint Emperor!

only in this way could she receive the protection of the Ancestral Land.

After all, the Martial Saint Emperor could only stabilize the entire dynasty if he lived out a second life; what if he couldn't?

The Old Ancestors in the Ancestral Land naturally had to have a backup plan!

If Wu Mingyue couldn't even obtain the position of Heir, there would be no need for protection.

Wanting to become the Heir was also simple.

One only needed to win in the confrontation between the princes and princesses, but Wu Mingyue was, after all, the Princess, and even the First Prince was much younger than her.

This resulted in the Martial Saint Emperor being able to use the age difference to refuse Wu Mingyue's participation in the struggle for the Heir.

He was, after all, the Saint Emperor now.

Even the Old Ancestors of the Ancestral Land could not easily interfere with his orders.

But Lin Ye was different.

Not only was he young, but his identity could also be considered half a member of the imperial family; in terms of Bloodline, Wu Mingyue had it, and in terms of status, Lin Ye had it!

So if Lin Ye could participate in this struggle for the Heir on behalf of Wu Mingyue, then even the Martial Saint Emperor would not be able to find fault.

But the fear was that the Martial Saint Emperor would strike from the shadows!

Therefore, participating in this position of Heir meant putting Lin Ye in a dangerous situation.

"I will not force you to participate in this matter, but I can give you a promise: if I become the Saint Emperor, I will do my utmost to help you with the matter regarding the Chang Sheng Lin Family!"

Wu Mingyue was the Princess, of the same generation as the Lord of Blissful Demons.

She was not a naive little girl.

Therefore, she understood the importance of exchanging benefits.

Lin Ye's affairs in the Lingxu Battlefield had now spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and Wu Mingyue could guess his conflict with the Chang Sheng Lin Family with a little thought.

Coupled with the previous news that people from the Righteous Qi Sect were heading to the Upper Domain.

Needless to say, it must have been to vent for Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's previous methods against Lin Ming had been seen by everyone; it was clearly a fight to the death!

Since that was the case, Wu Mingyue used the matter of the Chang Sheng Lin Family to request a transaction.

Seeing Wu Mingyue's sincere appearance, Lin Ye nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I agree, and... it seems that even if I didn't agree, trouble would come knocking on my door anyway."

The beautiful Empress beside them stood up first, a cold glint in her beautiful eyes.

Wu Mingyue also reacted and turned her gaze toward the firmament.

They saw that the light above the firmament was blazing, and a general wearing armor descended from the firmament.
