Eight years after Gao Shi Zong's death, Xia Zulong overthrew the previous dynasty and flaunted the emperor in Luojing, using a feudal system to reward meritorious officials.

As the chief official of the Dragon Rebellion, the right Prime Minister of the Grand Xia Huangji Pavilion, the Seven Seas Grandmaster was in fact the highest assistant minister of the new government. After his death, the aristocratic clans led the forces of nobility, thus becoming the backbone of Grand Xia.

However, as Xia Zulong's strategist, the Seven Seas Grandmaster was the most trusted person in Xia Shimeng's army. According to Xia Shiming's records, she was sentenced to be punished by the Emperor for conspiring against him and imprisoned in Tong Tian Tower. What was even more strange was that after four years of strict defense, the Tong Tian Tower had suddenly caught fire. However, the Imperial Guard Army that was only a hundred steps away had not appeared yet. However, the descendants of the Seven Seas were not affected. From then on, the Seven Seas Clan still occupied the position of emperor's master and had experienced many dynasties.

The Emperor was furious and blamed the Seven Seas. According to the annals of history, Wang Jiu woke up from his stupor and pulled out his sword in anger. The Emperor's sword was placed in front of the throat of the Seven Seas Grandmaster, berating her, "Today, all heroes of the world are subjugated by His Highness the Lone King. How dare you have such a rebellious person?"

The Seven Seas Grandmaster took off her imperial robe, threw the imperial edict on the ground, and as a gesture of respect, explained in detail the true meaning of this scroll's name, 'Dragon-slaying'.

It turned out that the treasure hidden within this scroll was the most mysterious of the legendary "Grand Xia's Triple Layered Mystical and Martial Arts Competitions", the Ultimate Brilliant Volume. All the people in the world who are keen on the cause, get this volume of help, take the world like a bag of objects. However, this scroll was too profound and was not something a mortal could grasp. Anyone who knew three parts of the scroll could become a marquis, and those who obtained seven could become a marquis, and those who obtained nine could become an emperor.

Now that the Seven Seas Master had been forced by a government official to release this scroll to the world, it was tantamount to him conspiring against them.

In the early days, Xia Zulong feared that this book would be obtained by those within the nobility and by those with ulterior motives. It was classified as a secret, but today it was still exposed. Nineteen officials from the Secretary's Department, Lan Tai, and the Shang Shu Bureau were aware of this fact. The five of them said that this scroll was evil, and all four of them were overjoyed to see it.

However, none of them saw the cold glint that flashed in the eyes of the emperor.

The Seven Seas Master, on the other hand, just so happened to see the cold gaze that made his heart tremble. He was well aware that the Emperor had the intention to kill him. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who held all the power in the world, he suddenly realized that the man who fought in the battle and laughed at him was no longer that loyal youth who killed pigs in Egret City.

In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a Monarch of the Da Xia Empire, one that could decide the life and death of any noble family in the world.

Any emperor would never give up their throne for the sake of a mere mortal, even if that person had once gone through thick and thin for them.

Xia Zulong squatted in front of his trusted confidante who had pushed him onto the throne, his eyes revealed a hint of madness, but also an extremely deep sense of sorrow. He spoke softly, as if he were crying. "Why bother, sir?"

The Seven Seas Master looked straight into Xia Zulong's eyes, and gave a calm laugh. "The Seven Seas only do not wish to court death!"

"Alright, Mr Gou Wangcheng!" Xia Zulong's expression became even colder as he questioned the Seven Seas Grandmaster in front of the Official, "Now that the law of usurpation has been spread, if everyone in the world can learn it, what about being alone?"

The Seven Seas Master respectfully lowered his head. "The punishment is severe, there is no need to avoid the Official. "The king should burn the book, and the whole party would fall apart in the city."

Xia Zulong stood up, looking at the excited officials who were whispering to each other. Suddenly, he fell silent.

The Seven Seas Master lifted his head to look at his close friend of more than ten years, and a peaceful smile appeared on his face. He slowly stood up, tidying his robes before paying his respects to the emperor to show his gratitude. He then gazed off into the distance at the outside of the palace, a smile on his face that he had not seen for many years.

The white hair on his head seemed to fade away, as if he had returned to the midsummer of fifteen years ago. Dressed in white clothes, he stood atop the boat, gazing at the rogue youths playing in the water in the distance. However, in the blink of an eye, those people had already died on the battlefield for the sake of the man in front of them.

"Although mountains and rivers exist, an old friend has already died a long time ago. If a dragon dies in shallow water, then no one in this world will be able to accomplish such a thing. "

"You!" Xia Zulong felt guilty, and the Emperor's sword in his hand loosened. "Seven Seas Grandmaster, please don't force me!"

"Your Majesty!" The officials finally came to their senses as the elderly Grand Preceptor stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Xia Zulong's legs. "His Majesty's life is in the hands of all the generals today. The Seven Seas Grandmaster's lies are a temptation and he intends to subvert the entire Grand Xia Temple. If he doesn't die, the world will be thrown into chaos!"

"How dare you!" Xia Zulong flew into a rage, "Do you also want to become a traitor and betray the Lone King?!"

"Your Majesty." The voice of the Seven Seas Grandmaster was like a calm pool of water, breaking Xia Zulong's angry roar. "Your Majesty, although the rivers and mountains are here today, the world has long since passed away …. What was the point of staying in this world alone? Those who were supposed to follow them and die on the battlefield have lived for many years now.

Xia Zulong was stunned, he stood silently on the spot, the Emperor Sword in his hand was suddenly thrown in front of him. He trembled and turned around silently. He tried his best to suppress his choking voice as he said, "Mister, you can go now."

The few historians kneeling by the side of the hall began to sweat profusely. Their hands were trembling as they wrote down the history scrolls. After a short while, several people came forward, holding a long scroll in their hands. They held onto the history book in their hands as they walked towards the emperor.

That night, Xia Zulong's expression suddenly changed after reading the >. Twenty-eight officials of the imperial court were killed, and within a month, more than 30,000 of them were sent to Lingshuang Platform to die.

However, on that very night, he was sentenced to be a traitor, and was sent to the Tong Tian Tower in the Luo Jing Royal City to be placed under house arrest.

In the following years, most of the orders from the Da Xia Empire's ancestors came from Tong Tian Tower. Eight years later, a fire suddenly broke out in Tong Tian Tower.

However, no one knew that on the night of the great fire, Xia Zulong was sitting alone in the palace pavilion opposite of Tong Tian Tower. Looking at the great fire there, it was as if he was dead.

His last brother had also parted ways with him today.

The next day, when the people of the palace found him, the former emperor of the four seas had already died a long time ago. The palace guards that had their corpses stowed away couldn't help but be startled, just in time to see the secluded windows of Skysplit Tower. However, no one could understand the final trace of loneliness left in the eyes of the supreme emperor.

"I have never seen Xia Zulong in my life, the world is as long as the night, all heroes in the world are like moles."

Lan Langlang's voice came from within the pavilion. The smoke from the mountain furnace immediately dispersed in all directions. Clear footsteps could be heard in the distance.
