Again, Olrich's consciousness faded, but before it could, despair filled his mind and awoke him . The realization that his lifetime's cultivation had just collapsed devasted him . All the ploys and schemes, the sacrifice of his most beloved child, the refinement of one-thousand infant souls! All he endured, the prices he paid, were rendered worthless in merely two blows .
Lost!
All lost, never to return .
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
Olrich howled, his body and soul sinking in horrendous pain while warm tears trickled down his eyes . This…was worse than death!
Bearing witness to his soaring despair, Nils was undisturbed .
"If only you could treasure us the way you treasure power, perhaps, it wouldn't have come to this . "
She whispered while pulling her fist from his guts . Now mortal, Olrich couldn't endure such a terrible wound, and before he could drop onto the ground, Nils held him by the collar and shoved a restorative pill down his throat .
"However, you can't die . I want you to live . To spend the rest of your miserable life a helpless mortal without any means to change your fate .
Forced to accept the reality of your permanent inferiority . Henceforth, you can only bow and scrape, submitting to the whim of the mighty . Moreover…"
Without warning, Nils kicked Olrich's crotch, shattering his balls, before shoving another restorative pill down his throat .
Her hand muffled his squeals, not giving him the right to scream .

"…a man like you shouldn't have the right to sire children . It is unfair to all the potentially good fathers deprived of the ability . Being a eunuch suits you best . "
Nils spat with tears trickling from her eyes, and rancor lacing her voice .
Shattered dreams, destroyed cultivation, castration, the succession of blows was too hard to bear . So hard that Olrich started believing that this was nothing more than a nightmare .
"Hahaha…a nightmare, it must be a nightmare . Hahaha…"
Olrich burst into maddened laughter, expecting the scenery to return to the days when he occupied his mighty throne, ruling the Holy Continent's number one country .
Alas, the staggering pain filling him testified to the reality of his circumstances .
Shaking his head, Konrad stood up and appeared before Olrich .
"Reality is sometimes hard to accept . And for those of us that pursue the summit, your end, is indeed worse than death . From now on, you can serve as one of my mortal court eunuchs . I'm curious to see . . . how many decades you can endure . "
Konrad began while extending his hand toward Olrich's forehead .
A strand of silver light flew from it to hover within his left palm . Then, a blood light orb emerged from Olrich's chest and stopped beside the silver light strand .
"No…no…I'm not willing!"
Olrich howled but to no avail . Konrad pressed his right index on Olrich's forehead and rewired him . With the evolution of his abilities, rewiring the mortal Olrich was simplicity incarnate .
Rebellion left Olrich's mind, and he surrendered to his fate .
Thus ended the last von Jurgen emperor . With his fall, after one-hundred-thousand years of reign, the von Jurgen dynasty collapsed, and the Holy Flame Empire would soon follow it into oblivion to make way for the new world order .
Konrad sealed the silver light strand in his soul gourd, and locked the blood orb in a space treasure, then alongside his ladies, descended upon the imperial palace . They met no resistance and were welcomed with open arms .
Led by Anke and the tenth von Jurgen elder, the imperial consorts and remaining imperial kin knelt to welcome their new master .
"The von Jurgen dynasty has reached the end of its destiny . As the highest-ranked, surviving member of this house, and with the consent of all imperial kin, I, Anke von Jurgen, beseech you to take the throne, and offer you our allegiance . "
Knowing that absolute surrender was their only path to survival, the von Jurgen imperial kinsmen didn't dare hesitate and kowtowed before Konrad .
"The von Jurgen dynasty has reached the end of its destiny, and the country requires a new regime . You, Lord, are mighty, and able to suppress all under the heavens!

Only you can bring back prosperity and restore the peace . Please accept the throne and establish a new dynasty!"
They exclaimed in tandem, desperately hoping their lives would be spared .
Seeing this, Konrad nodded .
"Having been adopted into the imperial family, I cannot stand and watch the inheritance of one-hundred-thousand years collapse in such a wanton manner .
Though the country changes surnames, you shall still have a place . Elmar von Jurgen will be sealed as Grand Duke, and new house head to carry on the von Jurgen legacy . And a new mansion will be built for you all . "
He said toward the kowtowing imperial kinsmen . And as soon as his words echoed, they felt free of the invisible weight crushing their shoulders .
Alive! They would escape this tribulation alive! At this juncture, they asked for nothing more .
"Thank you, your majesty, for your grace! Your majesty is benevolent, treasures the common people, and is incomparably brilliant . Your reign shall stretch across eternity!"
They flattered . And unwilling to spend more time on them, Konrad dismissed them all . Then, escorted by his consorts, he walked into the throne room and stopped before its stairs .
His eyes locked upon the throne, and he recalled the first time he stood beside it . Unlike that time, there weren't any rows of officials . Olrich no longer occupied it, and none could dare show him contempt .
Now, it was his . And as soon as he sat upon it, the first step of his grand aspiration would reach completion .
But as he stared at the throne with a faint smile, Else's voice echoed .
"When shall we hold the coronation ceremony?"
"No hurry . We first need to wait for the Celestial Church and Infernal Cult to dispatch their troops . In three days, we shall publicly execute Erhardt, Bayiz, and the third cult elder's son . At that time, I will meet their armies in battle and slaughter them all .
Afterward, we can hold the coronation ceremony . "
Konrad explained .
"And what about the new dynasty and country's names? Or you can always let the von Jurgen name survive through you . It's not like it would be improper . "
Yvonne jested, and hearing this, Konrad's smile brightened .
"Not a bad idea . A pity that I don't have an official surname . "
Konrad replied in kind .
In the Holy Continent, commoners and slaves didn't have a right to surnames . Therefore, the original Konrad didn't bear one . Meanwhile, in his past life, he was an orphan and bore a name assigned by the orphanage .
As for Serkar or the house of Talroth, he naturally didn't feel any sense of belonging to them .
"And don't forget that you also have to choose a name for your new race . Your status screen is currently cluttered by X's . "
Selene's voice echoed .
"Gods don't need family names . I am a Primogen, the first of my blood . And will soon become the faith .
Let's use the Higher Realms' naming conventions and make it…the house of Konrad . And considering my current true form, there are not many viable race names . Let's go with . . . World Devourer .
As for the country's name, that's simpler . Since jade is the new symbol of my blood, let it be the Jade Dynasty . And I shall be . . . the Jade Emperor . "
"You really know no shame . "
Selene directly replied . Jade was a symbol of purity and perfection . How was Konrad qualified to stand beside those words? If anything, he should be the Depraved Emperor!
