143: Pulled a big

The ministers ultimately failed to stop Emperor Chen Sui. They couldn't understand why he would do such a thing; it made no sense at all.

But soon, they all understood.

After issuing the Edict of Self-Reproach, Emperor Chen Sui stood up again and walked to Dai Dabai, then faced his subjects:

"My virtue is lacking, and I am ashamed before the ancestors of Great Chen, before this nation, and before my subjects. Therefore, today, I hereby announce the Edict of Self-Reproach to all, and apologize to the people of Great Chen." Emperor Chen Sui repeated himself.

"I understand that past mistakes cannot be undone, but I will use practical actions to show my resolve. From now on, I will no longer be the Emperor of Great Chen! The new Emperor of Great Chen shall be Young Master Dai Dabai!"

With that, he took out the imperial seal, symbolizing the Emperor's authority.

"Wh-what?!"

Everyone below the stage was stunned, even the princes and ministers were dumbfounded. Only a few high-ranking Sect members seemed to be deep in thought.

"Holy cow, this Emperor of Great Chen has truly made a decision that goes against his ancestors! He can just hand over the throne, and to an outsider at that!" Chen Xuan was also very surprised.

He had thought there would be some unknown Demonic Sect villain appearing, but he pulled out such a big stunt!

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this... this is truly..." These ministers didn't even know what to say.

"Enough! You all need not say more, my decision is set! Today is a good day. On this auspicious day, it is fitting to hold the abdication ceremony!" Emperor Chen Sui no longer referred to himself as 'I,' the Imperial ' I'.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Emperor Chen Sui turned his gaze back to Dai Dabai, bowed 90 degrees, and with both hands, presented the imperial seal to him:

"Young Master Dai, I entrust the future of Great Chen to you. Please, you must protect it well!"

"Wow, this Emperor is quite the 'bowing' spirit!" Chen Xuan couldn't help but mock, almost blurting out 'Red bean paste, I'm sorry.'

Dai Dabai looked at the imperial seal in Emperor Chen Sui's hand, smiled evilly, then casually reached out a hand, took the seal, and said loudly:

"I, Dai Dabai, from now on, will be your new Emperor of Great Chen! In the future, I will do my utmost to bring prosperity to Great Chen!"

Before people could react to this shocking fact, Emperor Chen Sui had already turned and left the crowd, leaving the stage to Dai Dabai.

Dai Dabai's words gradually brought the people below the stage back to their senses. They realized that their fate would now be decided by this new Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please, you must uphold justice for us, eradicate evil forces, and create a peaceful living environment for the people of Great Chen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you can lead us to defeat the evil forces, we are willing to support you and jointly build a new Great Chen!"

Immediately, some quick-witted officials and Sect Masters immediately expressed their loyalty to the new Emperor.

However, in such a scene, there were naturally some stubborn old-timers who came out and directly questioned: "Dai Dabai, who exactly are you, to dare to be so arrogant and usurp the throne of Great Chen!"

"That's right, you are just a wet-behind-the-ears boy. What virtue and ability do you possess to sit on this throne?"

"Exactly! If you sit on this throne, where will the dignity of our Great Chen be? Won't it make the whole world laugh at us!"

"Right, how can the Emperor of our Great Chen be an outsider!"

"The Empress hasn't even come to the scene; she must disagree and has been imprisoned!"

Some questioned, while others thought it was a conspiracy.

However, Dai Dabai, upon hearing these words, did not get angry. He merely chuckled, then pointed to his chest and said loudly: "Qualification? My qualification is right here!"

"Oh? What kind of qualification is this?"

"This is qualification!" He casually waved his hand, releasing a giant White Tiger, which directly swallowed the group of people who had questioned him! The people below shivered with fear.

"Is there anyone else who thinks I'm not qualified?"

Hearing these words and seeing the scene, those who had still intended to speak out against him all closed their mouths and did not continue to question.

Are you kidding? They weren't those old stubborn fools; their lives were most important!

Seeing that these people no longer objected, Dai Dabai smiled with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to those who had already pledged allegiance.

"I, Dai Dabai, will strive to make Great Chen more prosperous and bring you a better life!"

"People of Great Chen, are you willing to accept me?"

Dai Dabai's words were full of "sincerity" and "earnestness," making people unable to help but be "moved."

"Long live our Emperor, long live, long long live!" Someone immediately knelt down and shouted 'Long live!'

The rest of the people also knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "Long live our Emperor, long live, long long live!"

Seeing this, Dai Dabai nodded with satisfaction, then motioned for everyone to rise.

"My beloved ministers, I am deeply gratified. The prosperity of Great Chen cannot be achieved without your collective efforts. I hope that each and every one of you here will do your utmost and contribute to the prosperity of Great Chen."

"As you command, our Emperor!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Here, the first thing I will do is to enthrone Zhu Zhu as my Empress!"

With that, Dai Dabai walked to the girl Zhu Zhu, who had a cold expression, and extended his hand to her.

Zhu Zhu looked coldly at Dai Dabai. Her gaze was filled with disdain, disgust, contempt, and anger, but in the deepest part of her eyes, there was a hint of deep helplessness.

She was a noble of the White Tiger Empire in the Cultivation World. Her father was a minister of the White Tiger Empire, and in order to curry favor with the Imperial Family, she had been betrothed to this Great Prince of the Empire since childhood.

However, this so-called Great Prince was an out-and-out scoundrel. Not only had he harmed countless women, but he was also tyrannical and oppressed the common people, causing widespread resentment in the White Tiger Empire.

Zhu Zhu had repeatedly asked her father to break off the engagement, but her father insisted on marrying her to Dai Dabai, saying it was the Family's honor and could not be violated.

Furthermore, their Family and the Dai Family Imperial Family had always intermarried, and they would also learn what was called Fusion skills, which were very powerful once cultivated.

Most importantly, the Imperial Family of the White Tiger Empire was powerful, and he simply had no way to refuse any demands from the Imperial Family.

In her helplessness, Zhu Zhu had no choice but to escape. However, along the way, she had made a name for herself with her own strength. Once her reputation spread, she was immediately captured and brought back by her Family.

It wasn't until Dai Dabai personally came to apologize to her, saying that he had turned over a new leaf and become a new person, that she agreed to interact with him.

And then, the two of them became disciples of Yu Gang together and were arranged by him to come to this Mountain and Sea Realm to collect immortal spirit grass.

As for why he sent the two of them, which seemed like overkill, there was also a reason.
