Chapter 559 – Internal Strife (1/2)

Today was a big day for the Dragon race.

A big day where a new Dragon Emperor was taking over.

This was the grandest day out of all special days within the Dragon race.

Everyone was clean and neatly dressed with a faint smile on their faces.

“His Highness is stepping up… even though he is a bit too young, the matters he handled these past three days were done intelligently. In the future, he will definitely bring the Dragon race to new heights.”

“That’s right. In the entire history of the Dragon race, who was able to become the Dragon Emperor at such a young age?”

“You guys don’t know but His Highness is the only person in the Dragon race that cultivates the arcane secrets of the Sky Dragon’s Heart. Legends say the arcane secrets were capable of killing the strongest expert from the Ancient World. If Tai Long dares to come here, His Highness will definitely beat him into a pathetic state.”

“Let’s start heading to the Dragon Palace. It doesn’t matter what others think but I’m very optimistic about His Highness.”

“Same with me.”

Early morning.

The area of the dragon stone pillar was filled with people.

They were all discussing Qin Changtian.

Everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

These past few days, Qin Changtian had shocked a lot of people with his performance. The way he handled matters didn’t seem to be what an eight-year-old child was capable of.

Those Elders that had deliberately made things difficult for him now had a sense of admiration towards him.

Qin Changtian managed to convince many people in just a short three days. Those Elders who were originally neutral in all of this were now leaning towards him. This was something extremely difficult to accomplish for a child that was only eight years old.

“Dong~!”

The sun was rising.

An ancient bell was hanging from an ancient-looking tree. The sound of the bell rang out and slowly spread out throughout the stronghold.

The whole dragon stronghold became silent.

A few seconds later…

A door of the tallest structure of the stronghold opened. Qin Changtian walked out one step at a time in a dragon robe. Following behind him were Mei Lin and Frost Dragon King.

There weren’t any signs of Luo Tian.

“He’s coming! He’s coming!”

“His Highness is coming!”

“The ceremony is about to start. After the ceremony is the act of stepping into the main hall. After all of that, he will become our Dragon race’s new Dragon Emperor. I believe the future of our Dragon race will definitely be glorious under his leadership.”

Qin Changtian walked to the front of the dragon stone pillar.

Everyone instantly became quiet.

The eight people were the Dragon race’s Elders, who all happen to be the ones in charge of the military.

Earth Dragon King couldn’t help smiling when he looked at Qin Changtian.

Mei Lin cleared his throat before saying majestically: “Worshipping the heavens begins now.”

“Bang~!”

Qin Changtian was the first to kneel towards the dragon stone pillar. Right after him was the eight Elders, and then the various dragon warriors. Eventually, it came to the common Dragon race citizens.

The ceremony of worshipping the heavens was very simple.

They would kneel down and bow, then silently pray for their God’s blessings towards their Dragon race.

Right after that…

They would enter the main hall.

Mei Lin once more said majestically: “The succession ceremony will now begin…”

Before Mei Lin could finish, Earth Dragon King interrupted: “I don’t agree!”

Earth Dragon King walked forward and said to Mei Lin with a smile: “My apologies for interrupting you but I really couldn’t endure anymore and didn’t want you to waste your breath. I don’t agree with him being the new Dragon Emperor.”

While saying that…

Earth Dragon King pointed at Qin Changtian’s nose. He was standing tall with the height advantage and a disdainful expression. “What qualifications does he have to become the Emperor of the Dragon race? Who is he? Is he truly His Highness? Who can prove that?”

“A wild young child running in from the mortal world and he’s our Highness?”

“I don’t believe it.”

“The Dragon race hasn’t deteriorated to this degree where a random cat or dog can become the Dragon Emperor, right?”

“Humph~!” After saying that, Earth Dragon King coldly harrumphed.

His eyes were full of contempt.

Frost Dragon King’s face turned ferocious as he shouted: “Earth Dragon King, what are you trying to pull?! Can you bear the blame of sabotaging the succession ceremony?!”
