The young emperor was already dead, but the matter of the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley was not yet concluded.
He did not choose to become the State Preceptor on a whim—he had already caught the tail of that thing from here.
"National fate... today, I will sever this national fate!"
The Valley Master's purpose was to extinguish the national fate.
National fate had no consciousness, but it would automatically retaliate. That was why he wanted the emperor to cooperate, to weaken the national fate to some extent.
But now it was no longer necessary. Theoretically, the last generation of the Great Zhou emperor had committed suicide and blood-sacrificed himself.
It could almost be said that the emperor's death and the fall of the nation happened simultaneously. National fate had never experienced such a thing; it was the most turbulent time and also its weakest period.
This was what the Valley Master saw as the best opportunity to act.
