My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

The emperors of the Five Great Dynasties cannot be killed. Once he falls with the title of Emperor, even if the court supports a new emperor, the national fate of Wei Country would be taken and no cultivation would be inherited.

For this reason, it has been very rare throughout history for an emperor to go into battle personally.

At the borders between two countries, their strength is less than half of that in the capital.

If attacked by several Semi-Saints, even they are at great risk of falling.

Emperor Wei is gambling with the national fate.

And he has bet correctly.

Daxia's Semi-Saints are fewer than those of Wei Country, and the Semi-Saints of the Six Great Families have either died or been injured. With no one left to guard the front lines, if Li Nuo were to redeploy Master Taixu and other mentors for support, the front lines being pushed forward in Wei Country and Chu Country would be pushed back again...

Could it be that Daxia will really become the first of the Five Great Dynasties to perish?

Chang'an.

The Wang family, Cui family, and Pei family—four Semi-Saints have fallen, while the Zheng family, Du Family, and Lu Family—three Semi-Saints were heavily injured and escaped back. The southwest front line has completely collapsed, and when this news reached Chang'an, it was as if the sky had fallen on the people of Chang'an...

The Semi-Saints of the Six Great Families are Daxia's top-tier combat force.

With seven Semi-Saints, four have fallen, and three are unable to fight again. How long can the frontline's army resist Wei Country?

Could it be that the Emperor will have to lead the troops personally?

Daxia is doomed...

Secretariat.

On the Left Prime Minister's desk lay a heavy imperial decree.

Though called an imperial decree, it is actually a battle challenge.

This is a challenge from the Emperor of Wei to Daxia's Emperor.

After the complete collapse of the southwest front line, the army could only keep retreating. After Wei Country captured more than a dozen cities, they didn't continue the attack but instead submitted an imperial decree to Daxia.

The Emperor of Wei wishes to battle with Daxia's Emperor.

Although this imperial decree doesn't say much, the Emperor is already Daxia's last pillar. Should the Emperor, bearing Daxia's national fate, be defeated, Daxia would be left only to be steamrolled by Wei Country.

Whether to accept or reject this challenge is meaningless in reality.

If rejected, the Emperor can only shrink back to Chang'an. With Wei Country annexing more and more of Daxia's land, the Emperor's cultivation will continue to fall. When Wei Country's army arrives at Chang'an, the Emperor will no longer have any cultivation.

But even if the Emperor accepts, it cannot change the outcome.

The strength of the Emperor is closely tied to the country's national power. Daxia's national strength is inferior to Wei Country's; therefore, the Emperor cannot possibly win.

The reason on Wei Country's imperial decree is quite justified.

The Emperor of Wei does not wish for more casualties among the soldiers and citizens of the two countries. Further fighting would only make Daxia's people suffer. He is willing to have a fair duel with the Emperor of Daxia, to decide the outcome of the national war through a battle between two emperors.

He is certainly willing to do this, as it would also allow Wei Country to minimize casualties, preventing Qi Country and Chu Country from reaping the benefits.

They not only delivered the imperial decree to the court but also widely publicized it in various states of Daxia. It probably won't be long before everyone knows about it. Wei Country, as the invader, stands on the moral high ground, under the guise of doing good for the people of Daxia, forcing the Emperor and the court into a corner...

The Left Prime Minister looked up at the sky outside the window.

The sky was azure and clear, everything in sight, but he couldn't discern the future of Daxia.

Is Daxia really on the brink of falling?

Ministry of Personnel.

The Right Prime Minister looked at the files on the desk, a deep confusion in his eyes.

The southwest border was completely defeated; seven Semi-Saints from the Six Great Families were either dead or heavily injured, and the power of their families also suffered a tremendous blow amid the defeat of Daxia's army. Countless descendants of their families were killed or wounded, and it would take at least a hundred years for them to recover...

This was precisely what he wanted.

The several great families entrenched in Daxia fed on the blood of the people. Countless Confucian disciples came forward in succession, trying to overthrow them, shedding their blood and lives on an unending path...

At the moment when numerous disciples perished and their families were destroyed, he finally realized.

It was impossible to overthrow those families by relying solely on Daxia's internal strength; stronger external forces were needed...

Provided, even if Daxia loses some land, if from then on it could rid itself of the families' shackles, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for the people on this land.

The worst scenario would be Daxia's downfall.

Suppose there indeed exists a country capable of achieving complete unification, without enemies, then the country wouldn't need to wage wars, and all military expenditures could be saved to establish academies, build bridges and roads, and improve the people's lives, creating a Datong society where everyone has enough to eat, can afford to see a doctor, children can be raised well, the elderly have stable lives, and the widowers, orphans, the lonely, and the disabled are well cared for...

If such a thing were truly possible, then let Daxia's fall be it.

But what he now saw was that after Wei Country occupied Daxia's cities, they forcibly took over the Medical Hall, increased consultation and medicine fees for the people by dozens of times, and Wei Country's famed families began to seize land from the local people. The minimum wage decree just promulgated by the court was also abolished by them...

In contrast, in Yue Country, within the states and counties conquered by Li Nuo, various decrees that Daxia's people had never enjoyed were being gradually implemented. That is the country he truly desires...

At this moment, he realized he was wrong, and profoundly so.

If it weren't for him, Liang Country wouldn't have turned to Wei Country, and Wei wouldn't have been able to invade Daxia so quickly. If given a little more time, Li Nuo might have fundamentally changed Daxia, but now, it's all too late...
