After hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi calmed down again.
Frankly speaking, whether or not to unify the continent is not important to Ning Fengzhi.
As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not affected by this, it's fine.
"So Your Highness supports the unification of the continent, even if you don't actively promote it from behind the scenes, you'll at least observe from the sidelines. Am I right?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in a deep voice.
Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, "You guessed right!"
"If that's the case, then why don't you support the Heavenly Dou Empire becoming the unifier, Your Highness?"
"Or perhaps Your Highness will personally undertake this great feat?" Ning Fengzhi asked again.
Lin Chuan naturally knew what Ning Fengzhi was planning.
He smiled and shook his head. "First of all, I'm not interested in becoming the one who unifies the continent, and secondly, the Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't have that kind of strength."
"I hope for the unification of the mainland, but I don't want to be busy with all the work involved."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi understood Lin Chuan's general idea.
"However, the Spirit Hall's domineering style makes it difficult to win over the people even if it unifies the continent, and various upheavals will inevitably break out again."
Ning Fengzhi shared his opinion.
"Who needs the Spirit Hall to subdue them?"
Lin Chuan chuckled softly.
"I never said that the Spirit Hall would become the leader of the new empire after unifying the continent."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow and asked with considerable anticipation, "What does Your Highness mean?"
"There will be no dictator; the new empire's administration will be handled by many people together."
Lin Chuan briefly reiterated the ideas he had discussed with Qian Renxue to Ning Fengzhi.
As the conversation deepened, Ning Fengzhi's expression changed repeatedly.
This new system is quite novel.
What is most surprising is that, apart from the first one, all subsequent high-ranking officials of the empire were elected by vote.
Even the emperor was no exception.
This touches on Ning Fengzhi's blind spot in knowledge, but just by thinking about that situation, he can roughly summarize the specific advantages and disadvantages.
"Your Highness, your idea is truly imaginative!"
At this point, Ning Fengzhi gently reminded him.
"But nowadays many lords hold real power, and what you are doing might provoke them to take desperate measures."
"so what?"
Lin Chuan gave a disdainful sneer.
"I have long been disgusted by many nobles who only know how to enjoy themselves and exploit the common people, but cannot even fulfill their basic obligation to protect the common people in their territory."
"These nobles have no reason to exist. If they behave themselves, that's fine, but if they really don't know what's good for them, then just kill them!"
"Anyway, the Spirit Hall is happy to do this kind of thing."
Lin Chuan made no attempt to hide his disgust for those decadent aristocrats.
It's fine if you're in a higher position, but you can't treat people like they're not human!
Ning Fengzhi was not surprised to hear this.
In fact, he didn't like many nobles either, but he was powerless to change it.
Now that someone wants to break this system, Ning Fengzhi naturally won't stop them.
Of course, he also lacked the power to stop it.
Neither the Spirit Hall nor Snowfield City are entities that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot afford to offend.
Now that the two sides have reached an agreement on the unification of the mainland, it seems that they have no other choice.
After all, Lin Chuan had said that he would not stop the Spirit Hall from unifying the continent.
"Your Highness, what if the two great empires disagree and unite to fight to the death?"
Ning Fengzhi asked the last question.
Lin Chuan smiled knowingly.
"To be honest, with Qian Renxue's strength, even if the two great empires gathered all their forces, they would not be able to stop him. The gap between a god and an ordinary soul master is much greater than you imagine."
"At that time, she could easily storm into the palace by herself and kill all the officials of the two empires."
"When there is no leader, it will be natural to take over the entire continent."
The merciless words made Ning Fengzhi give a bitter smile.
In the past, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had the upper hand, making others feel fear, but now the situation has suddenly reversed.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's rapid changes in expression, Lin Chuan added softly.
"But don't worry, that shouldn't happen."
"Emperor Dai Mubai of the Star Luo Empire colluded with evil soul masters, and the passage to the Abyss Plane was created by that evil soul master."
"Both Dai Mubai and the evil soul master have been killed by me. Now, Empress Zhu Zhuyun is temporarily in charge of the government affairs in the Star Luo Empire."
At this point, Lin Chuan looked at Ning Fengzhi with a strange expression.
"Zhu Zhuyun and the Xingluo Zhu family, like Sect Master Ning, also wanted my protection, but I refused them directly."
"I also told them about Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood. If nothing unexpected happens, they should make a wise choice."
"As for the Heavenly Dou Empire, that's more troublesome."
At this point, Lin Chuan couldn't help but fall into thought.
It should be noted that the Spirit Hall sent Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire, where she not only killed Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but also other princes of the same generation as Xue Qinghe.
In the end, they even poisoned Emperor Xueye to death.
It might be difficult to get Xueke to accept the merger.
Ning Fengzhi was naturally aware of this as well, and his expression became uncertain.
"Don't worry, the Heaven Dou Empire has been kind to me after all, so I told Qian Renxue that I would not harm the remaining members of the Heaven Dou royal family under any circumstances."
"As for how to get Her Majesty Xue Ke to accept it, that depends on Qian Renxue's own abilities!"
Lin Chuan shrugged.
"As for Sect Leader Ning, I am well aware of the grudges between your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall, so the choice is up to you."
Without the overwhelming power to disregard everything, the only way to survive is to compromise.
The only good news is that even after the mainland is unified, it doesn't mean that we will have to submit to the Spirit Hall.
Whether it's the Spirit Hall or the two great empires, they are merely components of the newly formed empire.
"I understand. Thank you for informing me of this, Your Highness."
Ning Fengzhi composed himself and gratefully bowed to Lin Chuan in thanks.
Lin Chuan smiled and waved his hand, "It was nothing, Sect Leader Ning, you should go back and think about the future!"
Chapter 232 Tripartite Talks
Lin Chuan got up and saw Ning Fengzhi and the other two out of the courtyard.
Only after the figure had completely disappeared from sight did he turn around and go back.
On the streets of Tiandou City.
Ning Fengzhi held Ning Rongrong's hand as they walked down the street.
Unlike when he arrived, his mood was now extremely chaotic, as the news he had received from Lin Chuan was truly too shocking.
"Fengzhi, shall we inform His Majesty Xueke of today's events?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong suddenly asked this question.
Ning Fengzhi suddenly stopped in his tracks, feeling somewhat troubled.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly sighed softly.
"Let's tell His Majesty. This kind of thing can't be kept secret. I'm afraid it will be completely exposed when the three-party talks begin."
Ultimately, the choice is hers to make!
The Heaven Dou Empire is no less powerful than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Even though Ning Fengzhi always puts the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first in his heart, he doesn't mind reminding him.
