Ye Zhen was no stranger to succession struggles, and had even been involved in one or two.
Precisely because he had been involved, he knew just how complex and dangerous these struggles could be.
Previously, when Ye Zhen was on the True Profound Continent, the Black Water Empire was only the size of half a province of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The succession struggle there led to countless deaths, ultimately elevating Ye Zhen and supporters of the Qiyun Sect, who had the strongest fists, to power.
Compared to the Black Water Empire, the situation within the Great Zhou Empire was thousands of times more complex, with experts everywhere and hidden currents among major powers.
The powers Ye Zhen was aware of included the Eight Council Princes, Ancestor God Temple, and Heavenly Temple—none of which were forces that anyone could easily approach.
Not to mention the princes, military leaders, and regional officials who also had a hand in these matters.
