Fantasy: The Path of the Villain

"Why, Xue Qinghe, tell me..." Looking at his son who bowed his head in salute, Emperor Xue Ye stood up with a frown and walked from the head of the hall to him step by step.

"Tell me, why did you give up the Nine Trials of the Swan God, and don't want to inherit the position of the Swan God!"

The heavy and loud voice, like thunder, resounded through the entire silent hall.

At this time, even the guardians on the side all looked solemnly at the handsome young man standing in front of the emperor, their eyes full of indescribable doubt and confusion.

"Because of the empire, because the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire cannot be a god...so I refuse to complete the remaining trials."

Xue Qinghe stood up straight, and looked straight ahead at the emperor Xue Ye who seemed to be just in his twilight years.

Everyone swallowed subconsciously when they heard this, with surprise and fear on their faces.

He clearly wanted to say that he wanted to fight against the king of the empire today.

You must know that the great emperor in front of you doesn't seem to be middle-aged anymore, but at least he can still reign for decades. Your bold behavior is nothing but bad...

"You, you..." Emperor Xue Ye immediately raised his hands when he heard this, as if he was going to give his good son a big slap in the next moment to wake him up.

Seeing this, Xue Ke had already covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

This was the first time she saw her elder brother being so reckless and incomprehensible, and after becoming a god, wouldn't she still be able to succeed to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire?

When the big hand that was raised fell heavily towards Xue Qinghe, it stopped abruptly the moment it was about to touch.

Some vicissitudes of the big hand turned and patted Xue Qinghe's shoulder lightly.

"It's...it's hard for you, you actually chose to give up the incomparably lofty position of god for the sake of the empire." Emperor Xue Ye had a trace of helplessness and understanding on his face, and his hazy eyes were full of understanding for his son.

The youngest son Xue Beng, who is cynical, will not be able to take power, and the youngest daughter Xue Ke, who is a woman, is also doomed not to inherit the throne.

If the Xue family wants to rule the empire forever, Xue Qinghe can only make a choice, whether to choose to become a god and become a supreme existence, or to succeed to the throne and continue the family's glory.

In the end, Hao Da'er voluntarily gave up the chance to become a god, and chose to shoulder the mission of continuing the family's glory.

"Father, it's okay, I have a hunch that among the younger brothers and younger sisters, there may be another God's Chosen One, who will not fail your expectations..."

Xue Qinghe nodded with a light smile, and at the same time turned to look at Xue Beng and Xue Ke, two brothers and sisters standing aside.

At this moment, the latter was staring wide-eyed with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes... the Swan God told you?!" Emperor Xue Ye put his hands on his son, his eyes filled with excitement.

A god-chosen person appeared among his descendants. He had already died without any regrets, but he didn't expect to have another one. How lucky it must be!

If it is true, then his wish in this life has been fulfilled.

Facing his father's question, Xue Qinghe just nodded and admitted with a smile.

Upon receiving this answer, Emperor Xue Ye patted Xue Qinghe's shoulder excitedly for a moment, wanted to say something but found that he was too happy to speak.

At this moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, he covered his mouth and coughed violently.

"Father, are you okay, Father." Xue Qinghe frowned slightly and quickly supported Emperor Xue Ye.

There were other people who were worried about the emperor's safety. Even Prince Xue Xing walked down quickly to check on his brother's situation.

"Hahaha it's okay, it's okay if the old man is sick." Emperor Xue Ye laughed and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Okay, let's talk about today's matter, you are all tired and go back."

Seeing the Emperor Xue Ye who looked as young as a teenager, Xue Qinghe bowed to him, "Since father is fine, we will take our leave first."

Immediately afterwards, Xue Beng and Xue Ke also bowed and retired.

There are a lot of things that happened today, and the two of them are in a trance until now.

In the nod of Emperor Xue Ye, the prince and his party all left, even the guardians left one after another, leaving only Prince Xue Xing and the emperor alone in the hall.

"Xue Xing, do you still have any questions now? This is just like us back then, but Xue Qinghe is better and wiser than you and me back then..."

I remember that when the two brothers fought for the throne, the father of the two finally chose Xue Ye, who was rational and calm, instead of Xue Xing, who was suspicious by nature and couldn't calm down.

"Maybe I'm worrying too much..." Prince Xue Xing's eyes flashed with confusion when he heard these words.

Could it be that I have guessed wrong all along?

But let's make a mistake, let's make a mistake. It's all over. At least nephew Xue Beng will be much freer in the future, and he doesn't have to put on a show like before.

...

in the palace.

"Go back and rest well, without any psychological burden. In fact, it's no different from usual."

"I know brother and sister Ah Yin."

Xue Ke regained a light smile on her face, and said goodbye to Xue Qinghe and the maid A Yin, while Xue Beng showed a wry smile, and said goodbye to the two of them first.

Seeing their younger sister Xue Ke leaving, Xue Qinghe and A Yin walked slowly towards their hall.

"Sister Ah Yin, why do you think the gods died? But after she died, the previous gods can still exist. What's going on..."

That's right, as Xue Qinghe said, the Swan God of the Heaven Dou Empire is dead, and the one who told the truth is Su Yi.

I remember that her brother accompanied her to the test at that time, and when Su Yi concealed her identity like no one else, he murmured suspiciously that the Swan God was dead.

At least it must have been dead for hundreds of years, and there is only a ray of consciousness and artifacts in this inheritance land, and the vacant god seat.

"Who knows, anyway, it is relatively simple to become a god. Once the soul power and strength of the soul are reached, one will naturally be able to proclaim himself a god, and then choose to go to a higher world, the God Realm."

A Yin heard her question and explained it casually.

Although so many years have passed, her strength is still a Peerless Douluo at level 99, but as long as she wants to, she can break through the last level at any time.

Looking at the familiar palace in front of him, Xue Qinghe suddenly thought of the little sister Xiaowu who was reunited at the moment, and said softly: "What about mother? Doesn't mother intend to become a god..."

Ah Yin froze for a moment, then nodded silently, didn't say anything, just grabbed the cool little hand of the person beside him with his big, delicate, white, warm hand.
