Chapter 31: The Reason for Unifying the World: Fun! Cool!

Nan Feihuang looked at Xue Qinghe and nodded firmly, "Brother Xue, what I recognize is you, not the status of a Heaven Dou Crown Prince."

His words made Xue Qinghe quite satisfied; that he recognized her, and not the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, was very well said.

She had confidence that she could develop this child, who was already her fanboy, into a die-hard fan just like Xue Ke.

By then, even if she resumed her identity as Qian Renxue, she could still make him pledge his loyalty to her.

Bibi Dong had always wanted to obtain the agricultural power of the Gu Lei Kingdom but could not find a way; this time, she even personally conferred a title upon Lan Xue to win her over.

But so what? This kingdom would one day fall into Nan Feihuang's hands. As long as she controlled Nan Feihuang, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling the entire kingdom?

For the Spirit Hall, this could also be considered a great merit, and it could add quite a bit of confidence for her to take back the Pope Throne in the future.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were at odds, and not knowing the truth of Bibi Dong's past, she still did not know why Bibi Dong hated her, her own biological daughter, so much.

The strong-willed Qian Renxue stopped thinking about it since she couldn't figure it out. If you don't like me, then don't, but the position of the Spirit Hall Pope belongs to my Qian Family. She would never agree to you, Bibi Dong, wanting to pass it to an outsider. This position, she would eventually snatch back.

"Alright, Feihuang, it's getting late. You go rest first; later when there is time, Brother Xue will have a good talk with you again," Xue Qinghe said with a smile, patting Nan Feihuang's head.

At this moment, she no longer regarded Nan Feihuang as a child; what child could analyze the situation to such a degree?

Instead, she regarded him as a like-minded person who was politically sensitive and a bit precocious. He was worthy of being a kingdom's crown prince, with a clear mind; he was much better than her younger sister who knew nothing.

Returning to the room, Nan Feihuang had just lit the lamp when he saw Xun Yu and the other two sitting upright on their chairs.

"My Lord, although I let you hoodwink Qian Renxue, your actions are too fast. Wanting to intervene in the Heaven Dou Imperial Court so early? This may not be a good idea," Xun Yu said with a frown.

"Firstly, don't forget, we are preparing to stop, or rather, intercept Xue Qinghe's plan in the future. When her identity is exposed, if you are already too close to her now, it will inevitably make people think you and she are in collusion."

"Secondly, many of Xue Qinghe's policies are unfavorable to the major nobles. Being close to her will result in the alienation of the empire's nobles. The Heaven Dou Empire is different from the Gu Lei Kingdom; our Gu Lei Kingdom has a small territory and is an agricultural country, so valuing the common people is the right principle. But the Heaven Dou Empire is basically a great empire where nobles hold power. You acting this way is disadvantageous for the future."

Nan Feihuang could understand; what Xun Yu worried about was exactly the ending of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the original story.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had supported the empire for many years, but in the original story, because of the Xue Qinghe affair, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could be said to have suffered no small amount of suspicion in a certain sense.

After all, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi had a master-disciple relationship.

It just so happened that the Great Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned by Qian Renxue and remained unconscious for a long time. In order not to let the situation change, Ning Fengzhi used special means to stimulate the Great Emperor Xue Ye's life potential, making him wake up early to preside over the overall situation, but this undoubtedly made his life, which was already accelerating toward decay, become even shorter. This matter left a thorn between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Ning Fengzhi bore the responsibility for reducing the Great Emperor Xue Ye's lifespan. After Xue Beng ascended to the throne, the position of State Preceptor was taken by Yu Xiaogang, and Xue Beng even fully supported Tang San's Tang Sect, making the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was already severely damaged in strength at the time, suffer even more. If not for Ning Rongrong's relationship, I fear the sect would have been destroyed sooner or later.

"Wenruo, I naturally know the consequences of doing this. Firstly, joining Xue Qinghe's side on the surface early allows me to better grasp her movements and meet moves with moves."

"Secondly, although I don't really want to help Qian Renxue, my attitude toward the Heaven Dou Empire's nobles is actually the same as Qian Renxue's. I have no desire to play along with those nobles. Approaching her now will indeed cause exclusion from the nobles, but I can gain a good reputation among the common people. Even if Qian Renxue's identity is exposed later, the common people won't understand that much; they will only remember who it was that let them have enough to eat. Later, when I replace the empire and issue new decrees, it won't seem abrupt, and the Heaven Dou commoners will support me even more," Nan Feihuang said. "In this way, I can also just happen to filter which nobles support me and how many do not; it will be more convenient to kill them!"

Xun Yu was startled, "You want to kill all the nobles who oppose you?"

"Otherwise? Play political games with them?" Nan Feihuang retorted.

Xun Yu shook his head, "My Lord, this is disadvantageous for your future ascension; it is too bloodthirsty!"

"Who said I wanted to ascend to the throne?" Nan Feihuang laughed, "I don't have much interest in being an emperor; I just want to unify the world, or rather, I prefer being a general!"

"You... you don't plan to be emperor? Then why are you unifying the world?" Xun Yu was puzzled. Could this guy be like his former lord Cao Cao, just saying empty words, like hoping to have 'Han General Cao Cao's Tomb' inscribed after his death?

"Because... it's fun!" Nan Feihuang answered after thinking for a moment, "Compared to the result of unifying the world, I prefer the process of unifying the world. Conquering the Eight Desolations, sweeping across the six directions—it's fun!"

Nan Feihuang had inherited Lv Bu's Ghost God Body, but he had also become somewhat bellicose, even enjoying war.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly, "If you only want to enjoy the process of unification, then why stand on the side of the commoners? Could it be to increase the difficulty of your own unification journey?"

"Because... it's cool!" Nan Feihuang said again, "Just imagine, in the future, the world's number one Peerless God General Nan Feihuang, acting for the country and the people, with the Divine Halberd everywhere, the common people in every region will all feel admiration, leaving a name for posterity—wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah..." Watching such high-spirited Nan Feihuang, Lv Lingqi screamed excitedly.

She could not speak, so she could only express her excitement this way.

Nan Feihuang's ideal was exactly the same as hers. She also didn't understand what was so good about being an emperor; wasn't fighting wars just to highlight how crazy, cool, and handsome one is?

Worthy of being the one she loved; his thoughts were exactly the same as hers.

Xun Yu, however, was stunned. He felt like he should jump ship. The purpose of this lord unifying the world was actually just because of the words "fun" and "cool"—it was too casual.

Nan Feihuang smiled, "Wenruo, don't worry. Although I don't really want to be emperor, it doesn't mean I will treat this supreme position as nothing. Don't forget, I still have my father the King. Doesn't he like being emperor? Then I will just fulfill my filial duty and present the unified continent as a gift to him."

"As for after he abdicates, you don't need to worry even more. He is a Spirit Saint anyway, and perhaps he can become a Spirit Douluo in the future; his energetic period will be very long. By the time he doesn't want to do it anymore, I reckon my son will have grown up. I will definitely have a grandson for the throne with Lingqi by then. You can be my son's teacher and teach him to become a talent, wouldn't that be fine?"

Xun Yu thought about it; indeed, that was not bad.

Nan Feihuang and Xue Qinghe's policies would slightly increase the difficulty of their unification, but this world ultimately relies on strength to speak. As long as he is strong enough, the opposition of some nobles won't be able to stir up any waves.

Nan Tianchen was indeed a relatively outstanding ruler for maintaining the status quo. With the unified continent in his hands, the common people could live a good life.

So what if he wasn't good at war? Wasn't there Nan Feihuang?

From now on, governing the world belongs to Tianchen, and opening up territory belongs to Feihuang. Father and son joining forces could be considered a fine story.

The next generation of monarchs would be cultivated by himself, which was an incomparable honor for Xun Yu, who had always been proud of his own internal affairs ability.

"Haha, alright, My Lord. Since your goal is to become the world's number one God General, then I will be the world's number one Prime Minister," the enlightened Xun Yu said with a smile.

"Ah ah (Then I want to be the world's number one female general)!" Lv Lingqi raised her hand and shouted.

Dian Wei pointed at himself, "I, protect the Lord, the world's number one bodyguard!"

In the room, the four of them recounted their goals. The strongest combination that would shake the world in the future was formed at this moment of heart-to-heart sincerity.
