"Your Majesty is awake, Your Majesty is awake."

With a somewhat shrill sound of surprise, the people who had been surrounding the old king for sleep hurriedly gathered around, and sure enough, they saw that the old king was slowly opening his eyes.

"Father!"

The eldest prince and the third princess all knelt in front of the old king's bed with tears on their faces, which was undoubtedly happy.

The old king looked at the pair of children, as if he wanted to raise the old hand, but he couldn't catch it, even if he wanted to say anything, the priest next to him hurriedly came over to check it carefully for him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, since Your Majesty has woken up, the next thing will be fine, but Your Majesty is very weak now, the third princess will stay and wait for Your Majesty, you still have a lot of things to deal with, eldest prince." ”

"Okay, as long as my father wakes up, third sister, you will take care of my father."

The eldest prince did not refuse, the old king was seriously ill, in order to fight against the seventh prince, he tried his best, and he was completely at a disadvantage, but now that the old king has woken up, the situation will definitely change, although there are many people on the side of the seventh prince, but the old king has not been a vegetarian for decades on the throne.

The people around gradually dispersed, except for the sage who was still protecting, only the priest and the third princess were still there, the priest wanted to say something, but seeing that the old king was so weak, he could only order first: "Your Majesty, it's good that you can wake up, but before you recover, don't give any big orders, so as not to be tired." ”

"Priest, you ......"

The third princess was not stupid, and suddenly heard that the priest did not want the old king to dispose of the seventh prince, and she was furious, and the old king's eyes also showed an angry look, and the priest smiled bitterly and said, "This is the meaning of God, Your Majesty, I will come back to check your body later." ”

After speaking, the priest retired, Rao is the third princess is very devout to the goddess of life, at this time they are a little disheartened, usually acquiescing to forget it, now that the father has woken up, he actually wants the father to act as if nothing happened.

Just when the third princess was angry, the old king seemed to have regained some strength, and the old hand gently patted the third princess's hand to comfort her, but this made the third princess's grievances and backs swell up all of a sudden, crying in front of the old king's bed, and the old king had been comforting her.

"This girl is also rare, although I secretly did it, but she can get the flower of death, her will and faith are good, but unfortunately she is a believer in the goddess of life, this must be changed."

The old king, that is, Wang Cheng squinted slightly, and then sensed his current body, the old king had cultivated for a period of time when he was young, but then it was abandoned, after all, he didn't need to go to the battlefield in person, and it was impossible to become a demigod, so what did he do with hard cultivation?

If you don't advance in cultivation, you will retreat, and it is impossible to have a situation where you don't cultivate for decades, and your fighting spirit or true qi is still there, so the old king's fighting spirit has long since dissipated, he is just an ordinary person, he is already in his fifties, the state affairs are heavy, and there are more women, so his body is getting worse and worse, and this time he is cursed, even if he is rescued, under normal circumstances, at most, he will have to run out of life for a few more years at most.

This is obviously very bad for Wang Cheng, not only the problem of lifespan, but also such a poor body, he can't show too much energy to deal with all kinds of things, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion, it seems that he must think of a way to find an excuse to improve his strength and become a demigod.

"With my understanding of martial arts, as long as I master the cultivation method of this world's fighting qi, I will definitely be able to change the dragon qi martial arts to dragon fighting qi, dragon fighting qi, hey, dragon?"

Wang Cheng knew it in his heart, but when he thought of the current situation, he frowned a little, if he guessed correctly, the priest was just the beginning, and in the future, there will be many people to persuade him.

Sure enough, as Wang Cheng expected, when his body was still recovering, several popes of the temple came to the door in the name of visiting, but in fact, they were all persuasion, or warning the old king not to touch the seventh prince, otherwise they would not agree.

In addition to the temple, many nobles also showed the same meaning, Wang Cheng himself was not very angry, but the eldest prince and the third princess were all angry.

The Continent of the Gods is different from the plane where Wang Cheng stayed before, not the emperor system, but the king and the aristocracy, the difference is that the emperor is in charge of everything, and the whole world is not the royal land, and the aristocracy is also the territorial system, in the territory of the nobles, basically the nobles have the final say, the king can only guard part of his own territory, and the regions of other kingdoms are more like alliances, and the king is the leader of the alliance and has the right, but he will not kill and take it like the emperor.

The reason why the aristocracy is used is actually very simple, a god system is not only the god king, but also other main gods, the descendants of the true god, these descendants naturally want a part of the territory, maintain glory on it, and ensure glory and wealth, so there is an aristocracy, basically, all the nobles are more or less related to the gods, anyway, the ancestors are counted up, they are all so-and-so gods, the lowest have demigods, even if the nobles of the commoners rise, they will marry the daughter of a nobleman, and a new nobleman will be born.

This is the system of the continent of the gods, basically, God decides everything, and those who have nothing to do with God are glorious, and those who have nothing to do with God are humble.

As for the power of the commoners, do the commoners matter in a God-like world? In fact, there is no imperial examination in this continent, but civilians also have a way to change their status, that is, cultivation, once they become a saint, they automatically have an honorary title, but the chance of a commoner becoming a saint is lower than the chance of winning a lottery ticket.

These aside, in short, the nobility is also very powerful, there are currently seven main gods in the life god system, so there are also seven dukes in the current country of life, and the combined territory area is twice as large as the area of the royal family, and at the same time, even if these dukes commit a major crime, it is impossible to recover their territory, at most a certain person will be executed, anyway, the main main god will not fall, and the duke's inheritance will always exist.

In the country of life, there are three who have clearly expressed their support for the enthronement of the seventh prince, and the most important of them is the Duke of War, that is, the descendant of the main god of war, not only has a powerful aristocratic private army, but even the army of the kingdom has a lot of their people, because after the seventh prince ascends the throne, the war will definitely start a war, so the Duke of War has great support for him, and this time he also made it clear that he hopes that the old king will not pursue it.

In addition to the Duke of War, there is also the Duke of Commerce, that is, the descendants of the Lord God of Trading, who also strongly supports the Seventh Prince, because the mother of the Seventh Prince, that is, the concubine that Wang Cheng wanted to pamper before, is the daughter of the Duke of Commerce, so the Seventh Prince is his grandson, who does not support him?

The kings of the Continent of the Gods are generally monogamous, but the country of life advocates more life, so the king and the nobles can take two wives, this old king did not have a queen because he missed his dead wife, and the official concubine was only the mother of the seventh prince, but there were many women raised outside, and even many of them were the wives of those nobles.

Anyway, this circle is quite chaotic, but these are not mentioned, Wang Cheng has never liked this, if he touches a woman, he will take it home and keep it.

This time, not only did the three dukes who clearly support the Seventh Prince express that they don't want Wang Cheng to pursue the Seventh Prince, but even other nobles have the same opinion, even the nobles who support the old king, because everyone knows that once the old king really wants to punish the seventh prince, the country will definitely be in chaos, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a fight.

In fact, this is the reason why the Seven Princes have always had no fear.

"It's better to be completely centralized, this kind of temple and nobles are really troublesome."

Wang Cheng frowned, what was even more depressed was that as long as the nobles with official titles would have the blessings of their ancestors, it was not easy for Wang Cheng to control them, otherwise how difficult would it be to control them mortals when the dragon qi was controlled?

Although the Continent of the Gods does not have the martial arts of dragon qi, and there is no way to use dragon qi, as long as there is the earth, as long as there is the belief of all people, dragon qi will definitely exist, this is a common law of all universes, needless to say.

Although so many temples and nobles advised, the old king has not expressed his position, which also makes the royal capital a little more solemn, no one knows that during this time, Wang Cheng has been doing two things.

The first thing is to deduce the dragon fighting spirit, as for the second thing, it is to control the people in the palace, the seventh prince can curse the old king, there is definitely an internal response, of course Wang Cheng will not be careless, and these people basically do not have the blessing of God, and it is very simple to control.

In fact, after Wang Cheng's investigation, at least one-third of the palace maids, guards, and saints in the palace are all from the third prince's side, obviously the third prince has been infiltrating, with the means of dignified saints, plus the guards who can guard the palace are basically nobles, and it is normal to be loyal to the third prince, by the way, there are no eunuchs or anything like that in this palace, anyway, there are not many concubines, and there is no need for eunuchs.

Many of them are hidden very deeply, but in front of Wang Cheng, the soul demon, where can they hide? In short, they were basically controlled by Wang Cheng, but they did not cut off their connection with the Seventh Prince, and kept them to go to Yin Him in the future.

When the old king's body gradually recovered, he could speak and deal with things, Wang Cheng began to summon the nobles and ministers of the kingdom constantly, which made the atmosphere even more depressing.

Even if Wang Cheng couldn't turn these nobles into soul slaves for control, with his understanding of people's hearts and the influence of soul demon abilities, it was not difficult to use these people to do something for himself, so with his continuous operation, a voice gradually began to appear, that is, the seventh prince did something wrong this time, and he must atone for his sins, otherwise, this time the matter will never be over.

At this time, the pressure came to the side of the seventh prince, it turned out that everyone put pressure on the old king not to punish the seventh prince, but now everyone is putting pressure on the seventh prince and asking the seventh prince to give an explanation and atone.

The seventh prince was a little surprised when his father, who was originally inactive, had such a scheming, but he didn't take it seriously, it was just atonement, it was easy to solve, in fact, even if the old king was crazy and wanted to punish him, it was not much difficult for him, it was a big deal to turn his face, of course, until the end, the seventh prince would definitely not do this, because it would undoubtedly delay his plan.

However, after the old king pampered his mother and made a request, the seventh prince frowned a little, because the old king asked him to crusade against a demigod peak frost dragon that was causing trouble on the border, and asked to capture the other party alive.

This task is not difficult, with the strength of the Seven Princes and the power at his disposal, it is not difficult to complete this task at all, but the problem is that he has just recently made such a friendship with the Dragon Clan through the relationship of the Dragon Wolf King, and wants to win over the Dragon Clan's ally to work for his plan, if he really defeats the Frost Dragon, this plan will be stranded.

Just as Wang Cheng has a huge plan to quickly promote to a saint, the seventh prince also has, he will not be stupid to indulge in power, he wants to ascend the throne, wants to attack other countries, in order to be his own saint road, this is the fundamental, otherwise the saint, how can he care about a throne, or this aristocratic throne?

Winning over the dragon clan is a very important step in the plan of the seven princes, because the power of the dragon clan is extremely strong, although they were driven to live on the dragon island outside the mainland, but they also have their own dragon gods, or the god king level, as long as they are wooed, the seven princes will have great help in the future, and he even has a plan to marry the dragon princess as his wife.

But the dragons are very vindictive, because they have very few pure-bloods, and each of them is very important, not to mention the demigod level, and the frost dragon that the old king wants to kill the seventh prince is undoubtedly a pure-blood dragon, and he also has a background in the dragon clan, but he didn't know why he left his homeland and lived on the border between the country of life and the country of the undead, and did evil, destroying several towns in the country of life.

Because once the other party did evil, he ran to the country of the undead, and the strength was strong, so the country of life has not been able to extinguish this scourge, and now the old king issued this order, which is more appropriate in terms of reason, but once this frost dragon is harmed, with the character of the dragon clan, the seventh prince basically does not need to expect to ally with them.

"The old king shouldn't have noticed something, how could it be such a coincidence, I was just about to win over the dragon clan, and he gave this order?"

The Seventh Prince was very puzzled, and then his advisor, that is, his teacher, said: "Seventh Prince, according to the news we got from the palace, Your Majesty didn't seem to have such plans at first, but recently a wandering Sage entered the palace in the name of treating His Majesty, and it is said that the reason why the old king put forward this condition has a direct relationship with this Sage!" ”

"Wandering Sage?"

The Seventh Prince sneered and said, "Check, find out all the information about this person, the Sage will not come out of the cracks in the stones, there will definitely be a foot, find him out, find out who he is, I want to see what my good father wants to do." ”
