"The moment you descended from the heavens, the old King died, clearly to make way for you!"
Lei Qu quickly said, "You can still command the Stone Rock Lady, invoke the divine artifact left by our ancestors, making the treasures of all clans unusable! If this isn't destiny, then what is? It's the arrangement of the heavens! The era of darkness is finally about to pass!"
Chen Shi felt a headache, and hearing Lei Qu put it this way, he realized it could indeed be interpreted like that.
"Think whatever you like." He mused silently.
The Heavenly Pool Country Master is just a figurehead; each clan handles its own affairs, and only when they can't resolve them do they ask the King to step in.
The King doesn't need to attend court regularly, nor does he need to worry about every matter. Internal affairs are handed over to Sang Xixi and Peng Yan'er, while foreign affairs are handled by the Prime Minister.
