Chapter 1690 Prince and Kings
?1690 Prince and Kings
Nearly 6000 years ago.
The Empire celebrated the birth of Prince Fangyu. The celebrations lasted for weeks, with many people from outside the Continent coming to give their congratulations to the Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor revealed the prince on his first birthday a year later, and he gave him one of the most important treasures that someone from the Imperial Royal family could hold.
The Ebony Sword.
Nobody really knew what it meant to have that sword. To them, it was just a symbol of the Empire, a heirloom to keep. Still, they celebrated the occasion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Emperor was happy with his first son, and the Empress was even happier. With the birth of the prince, they were both relieved from the stresses that had plagued them for ages.
Now, the Dragon Emperor wouldn't be suggested to find himself a concubine every time he met someone important.
As the new prince grew, it gave the Emperor and Empress the time they needed to sort out the other problems that they had been ignoring for a while.
Having learned that one could change their fates if they wanted to, the Dragon Emperor and Empress had begun making plans to protect themselves from whatever was to come.
There were no other concerns for the two than the final prophecy; the one that claimed the Dragon Emperor would die at the hand of a King, a son of a King, and what they figured was the White Tiger.
Whether the prophecy referred to a single being or a group of 3, neither of the pair could tell. What they could tell, they became aware of.
The Dragon Emperor didn't know exactly what to do with the information. If a King or his child was to be trouble for him, then how was he to tell which one it was? He couldn't just get rid of every King… could he?
The preparations were made early by the two as they planted seeds in all of the existing 6 Kingdoms of the Continent. For the Azure Kingdom, he simply manipulated the political situation there to put someone else on the throne.
Years went by with the Dragon Emperor worrying about it but being able to do nothing. The only thing he could do was hope that he had made enough changes so that the prophecies would have changed by now.
What else was he to do? Kill the White Tiger?
To his surprise, he didn't have to.
Reports reached him soon, but sooner than that the Azure Dragon had already left the continent. When he came back, there were only two pieces of information the Dragon Emperor was handed.
First, the Azure Dragon was wounded and would have to rest to get better for a long time now.
Second, the White Tiger had died in a clash with the other Heavenly beasts in the Central continent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Dragon Emperor was stunned. The White Tiger had died? Just like that?
He refused to believe it, but then he had seen how wounded the Azure Dragon was. He would need a lot of time to heal from those wounds.
"The White Tiger is dead," he thought. "He's dead."
Which meant, he now had one of the obstacles in his prophecy gone from it. As for the other Kings, he decided to become bold.
The Dragon Emperor visited the Southern Continent where he met the council of 10 who had formed in the absence of the Phoenix. Whether the Phoenix was dead or not didn't matter to the Dragon Emperor. As long as he could get these people to agree, that would be enough.
He exploited their sudden lack of ruler and strength to make them accept the proposal he made.
Then, the Dragon Emperor visited the Northern Continent, where he met the leaders of the 5 great sects and made the same proposal. These ones accepted it more easily than the council did.
With both continents accepting his proposal, the Dragon Emperor went back to the Eastern Empire and prepared his legions to move along with them.
They were going to attack the Western Continent that was ruled by the late White Tiger, the one who he claimed was responsible for trying and failing to take over the entire world with his evil schemes.
They were going to war.
