"Your majesty, what should we do now?" the scholar asked. The situation had reached the worst possible outcome, and their choice would have catastrophic effects.

"What do you think?" the Empress asked.

The scholar paused, "I'm afraid our only option is to surrender-unless there is some kind of miracle." His original plan involved Wang Wei succumbing to his [Virtue] title and manipulating him into a cooperative relationship with the Central Regions.

And if he refused, he could smear his name and use public opinion to force him to conform. Sadly, this plan was eliminated before it even started.

"Come on. I know you can do better than this."

The scholar's body paused before lowering his head. He then glanced at Hua Long from the corner of his eyes and signaled her to speak.

"Our only choice besides war or surrender is to see if we can use the First Heavenly Emperor's affection for his wife to negotiate a more peaceful approach. However, such tactics rely solely on the fact that he truly loves and would do anything for her." Hua Long stated calmly.

"Do you think such a tactic will work?" the Empress asked.

"No."

"Oh? So, you also think he's not as faithful as he seems?"

"Not at all."

"Then why."

Hua Long paused. "I think this man will not let anyone or anything stop his ambition."

"Ever his wife's disciple?"

"Your majesty, I will be honest. You're probably not her disciple in his eyes - just an inheritor."

"Hua Long, you've gone too far," the scholar chided.

"I merely wish to give Her Majesty all the information possible so she can make the correct decision."

"Correct? By whose standard or idea?"

"I've misspoken. So she can make the choice she sees as the best."

"Your???"

"Alright, enough." The Overlord Seal Empress chimed in. She looked in the distance. "Arguing is pointless since the council will not let me make such an important decision alone."

"But they will consider your opinion," the scholar added.

"True," the Empress nodded before pondering for over a minute. "Hua Long, what do you think I should do?"

"I think it best to meet the Emperor - with an open mind - and make a decision after a deep enough conversation to understand what kind of person he is."

"Why would you suggest something like that, knowing her Majesty could not leave the Central Region?" The scholar quickly said. They've held on for so long because the Empress created a brilliant array that linked over 500 World Communities and channeled their powers through her. However, the downside is she cannot leave the Central Region.

"I've acquired temporary access to the Dream World so her Majesty can have the meeting there."

"The Dream World is his domain. Do you think she won't be in danger?"

Hua Long looked at him. "The reason we have to rely on him is due to his strength, which is possibly higher than that of the Golden God. Do you think anyone can stop him if he wishes to kill anyone?"

The scholar did not have a comeback, as she was correct. However, he still felt this was too dangerous, so he decided to argue just to argue. Anyway, he only wishes for Her Majesty to be safe.

"Alright, set up the meeting."

"Your majesty!"

"You know you have no argument," the Empress said, and the scholar blushed. Hua Long took out a talisman and activated it. The Empress soon found herself in the Dream World version of the Myriad Emperor World's court. However, they were not in the throne room but in the garden.

"What do I call you?" Wang Wei asked.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

Wang Wei frowned. "You can call me Wang Wei."

"The name's Hong Meilin."

"Hong?"

"She changed her name to Hong Wu while visiting my world. I was an orphan and did not have a surname, so I thought of taking hers," Hong Meilin explained. Now that she knew her master's real name was Wu, she wished to change it but decided to do so after getting her approval.
