Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1089 - 332: The Final Step in the Struggle for Succession! The "Three Titans" Enter the Imperial Palace!

Even though they were Princes, they did not know what kind of assessment would appear in the Elder Hall.

"This time, to decide the position of Crown Prince, there will be only three assessments."

"The first, you, as the Crown Prince, the future Emperor of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty, will have trillions of subjects under your rule. How to govern the Divine Dynasty requires extremely high wisdom."

"The Elder Council will use an Illusion Realm artifact. You will fall into the Illusion Realm and become the Emperor of a certain Dynasty. Then, when the illusion ends, we will see the effects of your governance and rank you."

After speaking, the Elder Council waved a hand.

A white light instantly enveloped the three of them.

Immediately, the three of them fell into the Illusion Realm.

Although it's an Illusion Realm, it still requires time.

However, the time might be very short.

Lu Changsheng also looked at those Elders.

Each of these Elders wore a black robe, their expressions indifferent.

But for some reason, Lu Changsheng always felt a faint sense of danger.

This couldn't help but make Lu Changsheng have some conjectures.

To be at his level of power and still feel a threat, there was only one possibility.

The National Guardian Divine Object!

These Elders might be able to use the National Guardian Divine Object at any time!

Lu Changsheng had long heard the fame of the National Guardian Divine Object.

It could obliterate a martial arts Supreme.

It even rivals Ancestor Realm powers.

He truly wanted to see it for himself.

But for now, he had to endure.

Now was the crucial moment for the Ninth Princess in the throne contest, everything would have to wait until the Ninth Princess succeeded before being addressed.

Time passed second by second.

Outside, it had only been a few short one hour each day, yet within the illusion, decades had already passed for the Eldest Prince, Third Prince, and Ninth Princess.

In the illusion, they were the all-powerful, supreme Emperors!

A word could decide the life and death of countless people.

However, they all knew they needed to "govern the country."

Initially, they were meticulous and diligent.

But as time passed, they found more and more problems.

To be a good Emperor was not so simple.

A year, three years, five years, could still maintain initial intentions.

But ten years, twenty years, even thirty years?

Holding great power for decades, could they still maintain their initial intentions?

There are such people, but maybe not many.

If one possesses such temperament, they must govern the country well.

"The one hour each day is up, awaken!"

Suddenly, a black-robed Elder spoke lightly.

Immediately, like a resonating bell, it rang beside the three's ears.

The three immediately opened their eyes, apparently completely awakened.

"I just..."

"Illusion, it was the Illusion Realm test."

"I became Emperor in the illusion and was in power for thirty years..."

For a moment, the three recalled.

Although they knew they were facing a test when entering the Illusion Realm initially,

The illusion's time was too long. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Gradually, they forgot their original intentions, forgot it was an illusion test.

Thus, revealed their true nature.

The black-robed Elder stated calmly, expression unchanged: "Eldest Prince, in the illusion held the throne for thirty years, overall stability of the country, citizens recuperated and thrived, considered a conservator monarch. Rating: above average."

"Third Prince, held the throne for thirty years in the illusion. The first ten years, reformed inadequacies, aggressively expanded territory, citizens prosperous, nation reached its peak. The latter twenty years, indulged in pleasure, neglected public affairs, national power gradually declined, and left a mess for successors. Overall, not very muddled, rating: passable."

"Ninth Princess, held the throne for thirty years in the illusion. Initially cautious and diligent, loved the people, suppressed various factions, promoted and heavily used civilian talents. Expanded territory abroad, reformed domestic governmental shortcomings, fought corruption. Thirty years like a day, didn't relax. Over thirty years, national power unprecedented, reached its zenith. Rating: excellent!"

Along with the black-robed Elder's words falling, the three exhibited different expressions.

The Eldest Prince was pensive as usual, with a thoughtful look.

The Third Prince had a difficult expression, even looking incredulously at the Ninth Princess.

He was quite arrogant.

He couldn't believe losing to a woman in state governance.

However, he still respected the Elder Council's judgment.

He didn't explode.

After all, his evaluation was also passable.

During his ten years on the throne, he performed well.

In the future, as long as he continually reminded himself not to make mistakes, it'll be fine.

Besides, this was only the first phase of the throne contest assessment.

There were two more phases, he still had a chance.

"By the way, in the illusion, after the Ninth Princess's death, she was rated in history as the eternal Empress!"

"This is the highest honor among Emperors!"

Suddenly, the black-robed Elder spoke again.

"Boom."

The statement caused a shock within the three.

Especially the Eldest Prince and Third Prince, their faces instantly changed.

Even the usually unflustered Eldest Prince, who keeps composure under pressure, couldn't help his expression from changing at this moment.

Rated in history as the eternal Empress!

This is not an ordinary title.

It's the highest honor among Emperors!

How did the Ninth Princess, with what merits and abilities, become the eternal Empress?

Even though it was just an illusion.

And the governed nation was a regular dynasty, not the Divine Dynasty.

There are significant differences between Divine Dynasties and regular dynasties.

But this doesn't deny the Ninth Princess's governance prowess.

The black-robed Elder's purpose in saying this was clear.

In the first assessment, the Elder Council was very satisfied with the Ninth Princess!

This put immense pressure on the Eldest Prince and Third Prince, pushing them to be more serious.

Lose the first assessment.

Then the second assessment must not be lost again.

Otherwise, there's no need for a third assessment.

Directly give the Crown Prince position to the Ninth Princess.

"Elders, please start the second assessment."

The Third Prince couldn't sit still anymore, urging eagerly.

No matter what, he had to regain a win in the second assessment.

The black-robed Elder didn't continue the topic.

He truly understood.

The Divine Dynasty is indeed unlike a regular dynasty.

In the Divine Dynasty, many possess Extraordinary Powers, effortlessly destroying cities and lands.

Many methods from regular dynasties are ineffective in the Divine Dynasty.

Governing a Divine Dynasty is more challenging.

"Okay, let's start the second assessment."

"The second assessment, willpower."

"Willpower is crucial. For an Emperor, unwavering will is vital."

"Let's proceed with the test."

The black-robed Elder didn't wish to continue speaking.

Then, another burst of white light covered the three.

They fell into the Illusion Realm again.

This time, willpower was tested.

And willpower comes in many forms.

For instance, enduring pain.

Also, enduring mental anguish.

And prolonged spiritual agony, etc.

All require strong willpower for support.

Only with strong willpower will any task not suffer significantly.

Especially for an Emperor, willpower is crucial.

A Divine Dynasty Emperor with wavering willpower, swayed by others, is sure to fail as an Emperor.

Lu Changsheng found it intriguing.

Indeed, the Divine Dynasty's training of Emperors is different.

The first and second assessments truly select an excellent Emperor.

Even if not excellent, they surely won't select a muddled ruler.

Every Divine Dynasty, therefore, prefers virtue over lineage.

To become Emperor, one must defeat opponents, passing through five gates and slashing six generals, to become Crown Prince, to become Emperor!

Another one hour each day passed.

During this period, the three exhibited various facial expressions.

Some were in pain, some were calm, others displayed constantly changing expressions.

But after one hour each day, the black-robed Elder shouted again: "The one hour each day is up, awaken!"

Sound like thunder.

The Eldest Prince, Third Prince, and Ninth Princess were awakened by the shout, slowly opened their eyes.
