There were a total of nine royal children in the empire.
The eldest prince, Dalark, was born when the emperor had just established his army, and later accompanied the emperor on the battlefield, building the empire that exists today.
The second prince, Tius, was born just before the empire was founded and participated in the great war that followed.
Princess Eletta, the third princess, was born shortly after the suppression of the noble rebellion and witnessed the investiture ceremony of General Sagarus.
The fourth prince... that is, him, Igna.
His birth occurred a full hundred years after his third sister's, precisely during the empire's most prosperous period.
Then came the fifth prince, who died young fifty years later, and the sixth prince, Varian, a hundred years later.
After the birth of the sixth prince, Varian, the most difficult period for the empire began. The emperor was under immense pressure during that time, and as a result, the ministers sent many concubines to the emperor. The seventh princess and the eighth prince were born during this period.
But the ninth princess, Verosia, was different; she shared the same mother as the sixth prince, Varian.
Why are the seventh princess and the eighth prince nowhere to be seen?
Because they died in the battle against the demons and their fierce spirits.
This is generally accepted, because everyone saw the remains of the seventh princess after her death, and she was buried in the royal cemetery.
And the Eighth Prince...
He confirmed amidst the cries of the royal soldiers that, in order to protect the secret weapons that the empire had stockpiled on the front lines, they were ultimately devoured by the demons, leaving not even a trace behind.
This is the fate of the seventh sister and the eighth brother.
But all of this was wrong, so wrong...
Father deceived everyone, and so did Eighth Brother.
Igna's gaze fell upon the general who exuded royal blood.
He... the great general he was reincarnated as in this life was actually the missing eighth prince! Also his eighth brother!
That's why he was so shocked.
Because the Great General is not only a member of the royal family, he also successfully broke through his father's curse of immortality and became a powerful expert at the peak of the nine stars!
"So this is your antidote? Father..."
Igna's gaze was intense. No wonder General Sagaros was fighting so hard; it wasn't just about the bond between ministers who had been reincarnated three times, but also about the affection between father and son.
Furthermore, the Emperor has a way to help them break through the limitations of their strength, but there may be some price to pay, which is why it has not been made public for so long. The eighth brother, who faked his death, is the best example of this.
After all... even if you are a great general, after being reincarnated into royal blood, you will inevitably encounter the same curse as them. Therefore, this must be the antidote left by the Emperor for them. He discovered it too late... far too late...
In the end, the general broke through the defenses and rushed into the formation that Bu Xiaosai had set up, where he met his emperor... or rather... his father.
"Your Majesty, this power is the antidote to awaken you."
The general felt the dense void energy nearby frantically invading his body. He shuddered and forced out his essence and blood, which dripped towards the emperor with an indescribable special power.
Bu Xiaosai sensed it.
The general also bestowed the blessing that belonged to the stars upon the emperor.
"What? This? It's actually..."
Western emperors...
You are truly an audacious monarch.
So that's how it is! Bu Xiaosai finally understood. This emperor already knew that he would be controlled by the void, but after being controlled, he could also take this opportunity to gain extraordinary power!
All of this was arranged in advance by him. The general was entrusted by him to guard the void, and he still has the power that he bestowed upon him to resist the void. Therefore, the general will definitely come back to find the emperor. As long as the general returns to his side, he can use this method to break the control of the void!
But...
Will all of this really go as planned?
As blood dripped into the emperor's body, the energy around him immediately distorted, and a new force, different from the energy of the void, began to warp the air.
it works!
The general's eyes lit up, and the void energy around him became increasingly violent.
At the same time, Igna, who was behind him, also felt the power of another world surging towards him.
Everything went exactly as he had expected. He had indeed gained control of the illusory world. The only thing he hadn't anticipated was that his eighth brother... the Great General's blood could actually suppress the controlled Emperor?
Is this yet another of Father Emperor's backup plans?
However, it's best to deal with this virtual domain first, in order to avoid any new accidents.
Time seemed to crawl by, and Sagarus felt himself being gradually enveloped by the void, even his consciousness...
"Quit!"
He heard a cold shout, and a pair of hands grabbed the back of his neck. Then he heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes.
What comes into view is Bu Xiaosai, who can rival the emperor.
However, Bu Xiaosai had already withdrawn from the ten-star realm. He did not use his power to the fullest extent, but instead chose to trust the fourth prince, Igna.
He will find a way to break free from the Void Realm in the future, but he cannot do it now, at least not in terms of strength.
Only then did the general notice that the emperor was completely enveloped by liquefied void energy. The terrifying suffocating feeling of being surrounded by the void was all due to this liquefied void energy.
"You've been inside for an hour, and you're almost completely drained of your essence."
Bu Xiaosai sensed the extremely weak general. Did this guy not care about his life at all?
