Shenwu Continent.

In a splendid hall, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe looked at the people below.

"Chen'er, are you really not interested in the throne? I'm asking this one last time, if you regret it later, it's useless to look for me again. ”

A very delicate man in front of the middle-aged man bowed and bowed, "Father, I've thought it through, I'm not interested in these things at all, it's too free to be a big king, how comfortable it is now, free and comfortable." ”

"That's it, since you're not interested, then I won't force it, but since you chose to give up the throne, then you will do your best to assist your second brother in the future, understand?"

"Yes, the second brother is very talented in political matters, let him be the prince, presumably the ministers of the court will not have any opinions. The handsome man nodded, just an assistant, presumably there won't be too many troubles.

"Well, since you chose to give up the throne, then this thing should also be taught to you. ”

The middle-aged man in the dragon robe took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from the ring on his hand, the jade pendant was red all over, with a faint coercion, since his blood was a little surging.

"Father, this is ......"

"This is our Xiao family's inheritance from ancient times, kept by the strongest of each generation, and handed over to the most talented members of the family, and you are the most talented person in our Xiao family for thousands of years, and you don't want to be the king, then this should also be handed over to you. ”

It turned out that the Xiao family had been a very powerful family since ancient times, and they suppressed it.

However, for unknown reasons, the strength of the members of the family is getting lower and lower, and they are unable to reproduce the glory of antiquity. In this world where strength is the most respected, being weak is equal to being beaten, and being weak is equal to destruction.

At that time, the patriarch of the Xiao family was also a prescient person, so he transferred some people out of the Xiao clan and left with the dragon-shaped jade pendant, the most important treasure of the Xiao clan, and kept his name incognito.

Sure enough, after that group of people left the Xiao family, an earth-shattering war occurred in the Shenwu Continent, and many top forces on the Shenwu Continent were involved in this big war.

That great war lasted for a very long time, and many super strong people died, and the Xiao clan, who suppressed the first generation, also disappeared in the long river of history.

This Great Xia Dynasty was the group of Xiao family children who were transferred from the Xiao family and came to this desolate place to form a dynasty. As the years passed, the talents of these Xiao clan disciples became weaker and weaker, and it was difficult for even a Martial Emperor powerhouse to appear.

Xiao Chen is the most talented person in the Xiao family for thousands of years, and he has the cultivation of a military general at the age of 20.

In the Shenwu Continent, the cultivation realm is divided into nine realms: warriors, martial artists, great martial artists, generals, martial kings, martial emperors, martial saints, and martial emperors, and each realm is divided into nine stars.

Xiao Chen took the dragon-shaped jade pendant, and the faint temperature of the dragon-shaped jade pendant actually resonated with his body, emitting a gentle red light.

"Sure enough, the ancestor once said that the one who can resonate with this dragon-shaped jade pendant is its true owner, and this person is definitely capable of bringing the Xiao family back to its original peak. ”

"Is that so?"

Xiao Chen was a little puzzled, was this really just a treasure, why did he feel that this dragon-shaped jade pendant had the breath of life?

"Of course, so you must cultivate hard in the future and strengthen my Xiao clan. ”

The middle-aged man said categorically, how many years, how many years have their Xiao family been waiting for such a person. It's not me, but it's my own son.

"Hmm. ”

Although he nodded and agreed, his expression was full of indifference, and he was the most boring in cultivation. But now he has to take on the heavy responsibility of the rise of the family, thinking about it, he doesn't want to be the prince, isn't it because he doesn't want to be so troublesome?

But now, it seems that my responsibility is heavier, hey......

"Chen'er, I can tell you, you don't just care about verbal promises, you have been getting more and more lazy recently, you have been cultivating all the way, if you don't advance, you will retreat, not to mention that you are still holding such a big responsibility, you can't play around like before. ”

The middle-aged man said in a tone of lesson, looking at Xiao Chen's expression, his mind didn't know where to fly for a long time.

Xiao Chen's son has always been his glory, with outstanding talent, and he is almost the idol of the people of the whole country. But what bothered him was that he didn't think about it all day long, either to play here or there, and he didn't take cultivation to heart at all. If it weren't for this, the cultivation might have been even higher.

I don't know what to say as a father, I don't know what to say, I don't want to cultivate well, my cultivation realm is so high, say that he works hard, look at what he looks like.

Fortunately, although his status and cultivation are very high, he has not developed bad habits, which can be regarded as gratifying to him.

As a father, he is not afraid that his son will achieve nothing, but he is afraid that he will cause trouble outside and become a gentleman.

Fortunately, he didn't, of course, this is also due to his good education, although he is a king, but his children have not been intrigued.

As a father, the cannibalism of his own children is always the most painful thing, although most dynasties have princes who fight each other to take the throne. But this is never allowed to happen here, and every child must abide by the ancestral teachings.

Looking at Xiao Chen's indifferent appearance, his heart was full of helplessness.

If you have this talent, you will definitely work hard, how can you be like him, without the slightest self-motivation.

Ay............

After Xiao Chen left the palace, he rode back to his mansion in a carriage.

Looking at the dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand, Xiao Chen's face was full of distress. What is this called, I just want to be a prince quietly, is it so difficult?

Xiao Chen's mansion is very huge, not only because of his status as a prince, but also because he is a 20-year-old military general on the first day of the Great Xia Dynasty.

There are mountains and rivers in the mansion, and the environment here is no worse than the palace.

Whenever I met the guards and maids in the mansion, I would say to Xiao Chen, "Prince." ”

Although the environment was beautiful and everyone respected him, he still didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness.

Why? If someone else had the status of a prince and such a high talent, they would have to laugh when they slept in their sleep. But Xiao Chen didn't think so, because he was too boring. It is precisely because of so many honors that he doesn't even have a true friend, and everyone is respectful when they see him, and they don't mean it at all, so he is depressed and cultivates and plays everywhere, just to pass the boring days.

Xiao Chen lazily lay on the stone platform dedicated to cultivation, looking up at the starry sky, when will this kind of day come to an end? If he can, he wants to escape from the Great Xia Dynasty and go to other places to explore, after all, the entire Great Xia Dynasty is only the tip of the iceberg on this continent.

The starlight in the sky was shining, and whenever Xiao Chen saw this, he would wonder, what were those starlights? Could there be other worlds beyond this continent?

He picked up a grass root, put it in his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes.

Although his father warned him to cultivate hard, after being surprised so much, Xiao Chen thought that he should still relax and relieve pressure. If his father had been here, he would have to be killed. As soon as the front foot said the back foot, he forgot about it, and really took his words as a deaf ear.

With his eyes closed, he hummed the children's rhyme when his mother coaxed him to sleep when he was a child.

However, it was not long before the maids screamed.

Xiao Chen frowned, and just as he was about to get up and scold them, he saw a bigger and bigger fireball in the sky, and the target was his mansion.

"Coax. ”

With a loud bang, this place turned into a ruin, and the huge meteorite crushed the entire mansion, waking up the entire people of the imperial capital, and this night was destined to be a sleepless night.
