With Xiao Yuanshan as our anchor, as long as we can slow down...

They did consider persuading the emperor to break out and flee south, but no one dared to bring it up.

If that were to happen, Your Majesty would be condemned by the entire world if you were to live on, and might even be infamous for eternity.

Zhao Yunqi closed his eyes, showing no anger. "Step back, allow me to think about it."

"What are you thinking? How about we just make Zhao Lin the crown prince to appease him for now? It's not like we can't depose him later," the Emperor System said.

"Are you willing to acknowledge Zhao Lin as your master?" Zhao Yunqi asked calmly.

"Mind your own business, you're about to die."

The Emperor System is volatile, and it knows it well that it can only maximize its collection of fortune by binding itself to the emperor.

But why would an ordinary person even look at it?

Even an ordinary emperor cannot hold onto the throne. When the time comes, it will be another chaotic era. When will it be able to gather a lot of good fortune?

Having failed to traverse several dimensions, it now has very little energy left to attempt another traversal.

Therefore, this is its last hope.

"With Zhao Lin's ascension to the throne, the world will descend into chaos without the Northern Barbarians even lifting a finger."

Those forces that were suppressed by Emperor Xiao Yuzhen's imperial edict back then will definitely break out.

Over the years, he has gradually eliminated some of the smaller ones.

"Tell me the truth, are you still thinking about Xiao Qingluan?"

"Wake up! She's a woman! Even if she were, how could a woman be fit to be an emperor?!" the Emperor System suddenly demanded sharply.

Zhao Yunqi remained calm. "You're taking it too seriously! What I said above is true. Be more rational."

"As the emperor, I'm the last person who wants to lose the throne. You said it yourself, if I die, what does it have to do with me? You'll be the one with the headaches!"

Silence fell between the two sides, and the atmosphere was tense.

“You know in your heart that Xiao Yuanshan or Xiao Qingluan are the best candidates. One has military power, and the other has a special identity. Only if they can rule the country on my behalf can those remnants of the former Yin dynasty and this world be at peace,” Zhao Yunqi said calmly.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Yunqi said softly, "Actually, Xiao Yan ascending the throne back then was the best choice, wasn't it?"

"Shut up! She's a woman, and there's absolutely no way she'll be with me!" The Emperor System roared in exasperation.

"Forget it, it's all thanks to your preference for sons over daughters, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get this throne. Let's calm down. The situation is critical right now. You are all-powerful, do you still want to hide your methods?"
