Chapter 2493: Abdication (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Long Yue’s actions shocked everyone.

All the people present here were overlords and rulers who occupied one side of the continent. After a little thought, they could understand Long Yue’s decision to cut off all means of retreat. However, if they asked themselves honestly, probably no one could make such a decision so firmly and hand over their country and territory to others.

This was definitely the most difficult decision for a n.o.ble.

In order to protect the people, he was willing to abdicate, give up his high status and glory, and step down from the position of a monarch.

Long Yue was the only heir to the throne of the Longxuan Empire. When his father was a hundred years old, he would also be the only ruler of the Longxuan Empire. No one could threaten him to inherit the throne. What he did today was cutting off his own way out.

Discussions instantly broke out in the hall.

It was an indisputable fact that the Longxuan Empire was declining day by day. However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The territory and military strength of the Longxuan Empire were still daunting. Even if this decline continued, it would take at least hundreds of years or even thousands of years before the Longxuan Empire would usher in the crisis of destruction. However, before that, with the lifespan of humans, Long Yue would have long been buried in the soil and the so-called destruction would not be faced by him.

However, he still chose to do so.

The emperor trembled as he looked at his son. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the method Long Yue had thought of would be like this. He was filled with anger and unwillingness. He wished he could rush up and beat up Long Yue, but he did not dare to be rash in front of Shen Yanxiao.

His whole life’s work was to give the Longxuan Empire more. However, his son chose the opposite path from him and handed over the position of the Longxuan Empire to others. This was unbearable for the emperor.

Shen Yanxiao looked at Long Yue. That once naive and ridiculous young man had unknowingly become a responsible and courageous man who could make such a decision. Shen Yanxiao believed that what Long Yue cared about was no longer the safety of his position as the crown prince, but the safety of the people of a country.

Long Yue was enough to be a leader with the boldness he should have.

“Do you really want to do this? If the Longxuan Empire belongs to me, you will no longer be the prince of the Longxuan Empire. Your original wealth and status, as well as your n.o.ble status, will be gone.” Shen Yanxiao curled her lips and looked at Long Yue with a faint smile.

“The country is in danger. As the crown prince, how can I care about my own honor and disgrace? The strength of the Longxuan Empire is not enough to fight against the invasion of the Devil race. As the crown prince, if I can’t protect my homeland or the people, I would rather not be the crown prince. As a ruler, I enjoy the admiration of the people and sit above thousands of miles of land. Naturally, I have the obligation to protect my people. Since I am unable to protect them, I should give up my position.” Long Yue looked at Shen Yanxiao indifferently without the slightest reluctance.

“What nonsense is Long Yue talking about? Pei Yuan! Do you know what he is thinking?” The emperor could not stand it anymore. When did his son become so stupid?

Pei Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the furious Emperor. His eyes were filled with sadness.

“Emperor, what Prince Long Yue is doing is the only way to preserve the Longxuan Empire. When the devil army lands on the Brilliance Continent, with the strength of our Longxuan Empire, we simply have no power to fight back,” Pei Yuan whispered.

“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s not my Longxuan Empire’s business to fight against the Devil race!” the emperor angrily said..
