1854 Azure Dragon's Funeral

Long Huan thought for a long while, wondering if Alex was correct.

"I wasn't taught to be an Emperor," he said.

"Neither is your brother, and he's spent all of his life in the palace," Alex said. "In the end, you will have to step up. As for not knowing how to be an Emperor, that's okay. You can learn on the job. I surely did."

Long Huan felt a little better hearing that. 

"I am also worried that I might not be able to remain an Emperor for too long, so it would be pointless for me to become one right now," Long Huan said. "I wonder if I should still be it."

"Why would you not be an Emperor for too long?" Alex asked curiously. 

"Because I'll be leaving for the Immortal world soon," Long Huan said. "Aren't I?"

The words left the crowd in a stir. To speak so casually of becoming an Immortal was not something someone did after all.

Most people had in fact completely given up on becoming an Immortal.
