I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 716 - 573: You Don’t Consider Me at All_2

And now, Han Qingxue finally understood that he had never given up hope.

Even now, he had betrothed her and her just five or six-year-old sister to Xu Lingjun...

She looked toward Xu Lingjun with a bit of anticipation, but also some apprehension.

She did not know what exactly his words would be... Would he refuse again?

A dignified princess, yet people had trampled on her dignity many times, but she still held on to a sliver of hope...

"Your Majesty..."

As expected, Xu Lingjun furrowed his brow and said, "I already have a wife..."

"Don't speak first, listen to me."

Han Xu Yang, who had been smiling earlier, now turned solemn after announcing the decree, his expression also filled with sighs, and even his body seemed a little more hunched.

He sighed, "This matter, in fact, I hesitated for a long time, and it was only after learning that you were marrying the surviving daughter of the Li Family in Yuzhang City that I finally made up my mind... Initially, I thought you hastily married Li Jingjun to deter my words, but after inquiring into the details, I realized you truly appreciated the Li Family's sacrifices and wanted to give them a legacy and a recognized status."

After a pause.

Han Xu Yang said, "You don't like Qingxue because she thinks too much, but I only have two daughters. Qing Yue is still young, and even at the earliest, it will be years before she can bear children for you. That's why I decided to betroth both princesses to you, to ensure there is an heir with the blood of my Han Clan!"

He stated seriously, "This is my only request, Xu Lingjun. I ask you to have a child with either Qingxue or Qing Yue, so the child can inherit the throne and let my Han Clan's bloodline return to the throne. This is my only request. As long as you agree, I will hand over the throne to you without hesitation, entrusting the foundation that my Han Clan has guarded for over a hundred years entirely into your hands."

Xu Lingjun replied with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty, I have no interest in royal power, really... I returned this time just to reassure you."

"You need not reassure me; I have never doubted you... Just as I have never believed in your loyalty, it is as if I treated you as my own son or nephew, and you simply regarded me as an elder. You don't care in the slightest about my emperor position because you have long surpassed royalty."

Han Xu Yang shook his head and said, "I know all of this, but do you realize... I have grown old, and even merely handling the state affairs of the Great Xia Empire often leaves me feeling inadequate. Now, without any consultation, you have directly pushed me to the position of Master of the Blue Star. I am just an ordinary person, I don't have the energy to be the first ruler of the world. I am already very content. My father assessed me as a ruler who maintains status quo, lacking aggression, I never expected to meet someone as reckless as you, who took over the entire Blue Star."

He laughed, "So, back then, I was considering this issue. Leaving the throne to Yun City is not inappropriate, after all, you two are as close as brothers. There is no distinction between you... but Yun City's status is special; giving it to him is in fact less suitable than giving it to you. After all, his child only has half Han Clan blood, while your child can also have half Han Clan blood."

"As long as you are willing to marry my daughter, I will treat you as my own son, just as you with Wang Tiancheng. You appreciated the Li Family's contributions and left them a child; with me treating you so sincerely, and in return, asking for a child of the Han Clan, you surely won't disappoint me?"

Han Xu Yang stated solemnly, "Xu Qing, you are also aware of the current situation, although our Blue Star has defeated the invasive threats and annihilated the Silicon Race, in reality, the crisis of Blue Star has never truly ended, and the threats to Blue Star have never been just the Silicon Based Clan. In this scenario, a united regime, capable of concentrating all its strength into a single force, is most crucial."

He said, "Whether you acknowledge it or not, you have become the spokesperson for Blue Star to the outside. If we can't achieve unity internally and externally, there is no need for enemies to strike; our Blue Star itself may extinguish its own vitality through endless internal strife."

Upon hearing these words.

The previously noisy crowd fell into silence at this moment.

Isn't it so?

Han Xu Yang just now, gave a clear and thorough analysis of the current situation.

The only solution seems to be the approach Han Xu Yang is adopting now... It was just unexpected that he would be so willing to hand over a legacy that has lasted for a century directly to someone else.

Xu Lingjun remained silent.

He knew that Han Xu Yang actually had a point. A centralized regime is exactly what Blue Star needs urgently... Why was he eager to bring the Land of Light under his command? It was less about worrying that they would come to share the spoils after the Mysterious Clan's destruction.

Rather, it was more about fearing that if disputes arose between the Land of Light and Blue Star, Blue Star's victory was certain with him here, but the population and resources lost through internal strife would be very hard to recover in a short time.

Blue Star is, after all, just a single planet, and it cannot withstand such internal strife.

In other words, for the sake of this world, for the peace of Blue Star, and even on a grand scale, for the development plans of the next century for Blue Star... he had no choice but to sacrifice...
