Chapter 1588: Chapter 957: Hated by All

Speaking of this, Princess Tarona also realized that the rhythm at this moment had been completely controlled by the other party.

Originally, after offering so much reward, she also wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the empire’s advantages and see what the other party intended to do, thinking the empire could help facilitate connections.

Unexpectedly, in just a few words, she fell into a passive position.

But as she said herself, the other party was aware of the initial event in Yongling City, and now combined with the current situation, anyone could deduce the empire’s predicament, so she might as well be honest.

“Is it a problem with the cabinet? Hmm, let me think, among your ten Divine Road Venerables in the cabinet, has someone reached the Demigod realm and found it impossible to advance any further?”

Tao Yu tapped his hand, seeing Tarona’s expression, he knew he had guessed right.

“On the Divine Road, the indeed naturally most trusted subordinates, you are all restricted by the guide, who can, if necessary, use superior powers to expel you from the Divine Road, causing you to fall from the Divine Altar.”

Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Tarona pressed her lips without speaking, and it was precisely because of this that the ten Divine Road Venerables of the cabinet were so ‘loyal’!

“But, now that the Emperor is in trouble, it’s different. If a demigod, reaching the end, perceives that the Divine Road ahead has been blocked with no progress, or suddenly finds the way clear, it’s all troublesome. However, only the demigods on that path know this…”

Although the Demigod has reached the end, it doesn’t mean there’s no way to improve.

As long as the guide continues forward, the demigod can also rise higher with the tide.

Many Subordinate Gods under Main Gods have started this way, and this system is already mature.

However…

There are also cases where the guide faces severe problems and suffers a backlash…

——

“The Prince, the Head of Administration, and the Commander of the Northern Border Army have all reached the Demigod…, a triangular balance.”

Noticing the issue himself, Tarona simply no longer concealed it. This time she came in good faith, so she was utterly sincere!

Now, Tarona’s purpose is very clear, wanting to win over Tao Yu, this true god ally.

Even without Tao Yu’s intervention, just an appropriate stance would be enough to suppress various unrest, at least in the short term!

And now, among the ten in the Imperial Cabinet, as the Prime Minister, the Prince, the Head of Administration, and the strongest Northern Border Commander are all demigods.

The specifics of what they sensed, only they know.

Although the Prince is the Emperor’s own son, and the Northern Border Commander has always prided himself on loyalty, and the Head of Administration is deeply trusted by the Emperor, which is how they were all nurtured to become demigods.

They still speak of the Emperor’s grace on the surface.

But in reality, the three have already started to compete secretly, actively trying to win over the other seven members of the cabinet.

The Prince managed to win over the Southern Border Army, the Head of Administration drew the Western Border Army, while the Northern Border Commander was paired with the Eastern Border Commander, just sitting in order.

The remaining Assistant Prime Minister, Second Prince, Chief of the Judgement Court, Princess Tarona, Minister of Justice, and Princess Cui Lisi, Minister of Finance, have simply formed an alliance, maintaining the current fragile balance within the cabinet.

Given the central cabinet’s tumultuous situation, the local powerhouses on the Divine Road, who don’t follow orders, are naturally even more complicated.

Outside, the major city-states with secessionist tendencies, and even hidden foreign forces and Evil God believers.

This truly gave Tarona a headache.

But while others can change tactics, only Princess Tarona and Princess Cui Lisi have no retreat route.

It’s just that the maternal families of Tarona and Cui Lisi are not weak, and the Second Prince is still the son of Princess Cui Lisi, maintaining the current situation with the support of the maternal families.

“But though the Muse Family is my maternal family, the Clan Leader has his considerations and can’t deeply engage in such royal court changes; now, it’s indeed a stuck position…”

Princess Tarona folded her hands on her lap and sighed.

“You’re certainly sincere, aren’t you afraid that I might be the ultimate behind-the-scenes manipulator?”

Tao Yu said playfully.

“Because if you are, I have no resistance and can only let you do as you please, and if not, then you are the purest true god.”

Tarona looked at Tao Yu sincerely, naturally placing her jade hand on Tao Yu’s hand.

Tao Yu’s fingers brushed the creamy white skin like jade, his eyebrows involuntarily raised.

“The princess is making quite a sacrifice…”

Is it to become the Prime Minister?

But what’s the point of being the Prime Minister of the Glory Empire…

Tao Yu released his hand and stood up.

“I happen to be free, so let’s take a look at the situation. It’s not like I feel you’ve deceived me.”

Originally, it’s just an opportunity to earn something extra, wherever one earns is earning anyway…

And just then, another voice came from afar.

“Coastal City Lord Ross has come to pay respects…”

But as soon as the voice appeared, Tao Yu lifted a finger.

The figure in the sky was instantly pulled in front of Tao Yu with a mighty force, pressed to the ground!

Normally, with the strength and status of a Divine Road Venerable, struggling after being pressed to the ground would cause the entire Floating City to collapse.

But he seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to move lying on the ground.

The person on the ground was a red-robed old man, with a haggard face, supposed to be somewhat dignified, but after being pressed down by Tao Yu, he only looked disheveled.
