#902 - Chapter 902 Suitable Sacrifice
“Aren’t you afraid that by revealing the date of your death, your human empire will erupt into internal strife ahead of schedule?”
“Many of your princes and princesses are already killing each other.”
“A large number of the empire's elite have died even before the Death Expedition has begun.”
“This is detrimental to your plan!”
“Hehe.”
Seeing Mr. A's curiosity, Shi Wushuang couldn't help but laugh.
“Actually, I can explain this clearly.”
“Mr. A, you just need to understand one thing.”
“I'm doing this just to stimulate my mediocre children and the lords who support them.”
“Because these young fools have been living too comfortably under my wings.”
Stroking his gray beard, Shi Wushuang sat down on the stool and sighed.
“The comfortable life has made them less like lords.”
“My eldest son relies too much on the power of intelligence, seeking out talents he believes in everywhere.”
“My third daughter relies too much on her schemes, trying to ascend the throne through political maneuvering and marriage.”
“And my fourth daughter relies too much on the power of technology and wealth. She is secretly plotting some ridiculous era-defining constructions, trying to directly obtain divinity and a godhood before I fall, directly ascending to become a god.”
“Also, my two good-for-nothing sons have decisively given up the fight for the throne and instead indulged in beauty, engaging in illicit affairs with those lords everywhere.”
“And...”
Shi Wushuang opened his eyes, filled with murderous intent.
“Those families and alliances that originally swore allegiance to me are full of fraternization with the enemies of humanity!”
“Do they think I don't know?”
“No.”
“As long as it happens within the human empire, nothing can escape my eyes.”
“After all, I am the Heavenly Dao's...”
Speaking of this, Shi Wushuang shook his head and quickly changed the subject.
“In short.”
“These so-called strong individuals in the human empire have been dormant for far too long in prolonged peace.”
“They simply do not want to wage war against the outside world, nor do they want to wage war against anyone.”
“After all, isn't it better for everyone to get rich together?”
“But they have forgotten.”
“The essence of the human empire is a never-ending war machine!”
“A ruthless war machine!”
“Prolonged peace and fraternization will gradually cause this powerful war machine to rust and age.”
“And if I use such an aging machine to carry out my Death Expedition, then I don't need to say much, Mr. A, you can guess the final outcome, right?”
Mr. A nodded in agreement.
“Indeed.”
“Prolonged peace will weaken the fighting will of these people.”
“In the face of cruel enemies, these foolish lords will die miserably.”
“That's right, so I will use my fall as a setup.”
“I will use the throne to stimulate my children.”
“And those who are stimulated will definitely use various temptations to stimulate those families and alliances that are too lazy to even move, including the guild forces.”
“The entire human empire, the entire war machine, will be set in motion by the greed of my children!”
“Although this will inevitably cause some internal friction in the human empire.”
“But those who have been stimulated by blood will instead inspire a stronger fighting will, thus making the human empire stronger, isn't it?”
“So I just need to wait for a suitable opportunity, use the name of the Death Expedition to call a stop to their infighting, and I can obtain a human army that has already experienced war and bloodshed.”
“Everything is that simple!”
After hearing the Emperor's plan, Mr. A nodded.
“Although there are some flaws, it is indeed a qualified plan.”
“Your Majesty, if your children had half your wisdom, I think the human empire could continue to prosper.”
“However.”
“Your Majesty, I'm still not quite clear.”
“What exactly do you mean by a suitable opportunity?”
Faced with the question raised by Mr. A, Shi Wushuang's eyes flickered.
“I have already chosen that so-called suitable opportunity.”
“I plan to start my plan directly after my second son is killed by that lord named Wu Wei!”
“I plan to start that great expedition to death after my most beloved son dies!”
“He is the most suitable [sacrifice] candidate I have carefully selected!”
After speaking, images of Wu Wei and the Second Prince Shi Yuan flashed in front of Mr. A.
