Chapter 137: Da Yutian's Ambition, His Growing Ambition
When Dayutian left, he clenched his fists under his wide sleeves, and a hint of ferocity and ambition flashed across his face.

"This group of spirit masters are getting more and more presumptuous. They started a quarrel right in front of me. How disrespectful! They really don't take me seriously."

"You still think I'm a child? Do you think the Hall of Heroes is your pawn? You're playing power games so openly!"

The young king was furious but could do nothing about it. After all, the situation was stronger than the man. Due to his young age, there was a power vacuum for a period of time. The Spirit Masters took advantage of the situation to seize power. The country was in doubt with a young ruler, and the Soul-Suppressing Generals from all over the country were also ready to make a move. The Spirit Masters only cared about vying for power and profit. They were all just occupying their positions and doing nothing. The rule of the Spirit Realm was deteriorating day by day. The situation was already precarious, and it could be said that the Spirit Realm was on the decline.

Especially Yuling Shili, who relied on the fact that he was the trusted minister of the previous Dayutian, and is now at the peak of his power in the Spirit Realm. People in the Spirit Realm seem to only know Yuling Shili, but not Dayutian.

A few years ago, the Spirit Envoy Li planned to imprison the Spirit Envoy Kan on the grounds that the Spirit Envoy Kan was close to humans and caused disasters to the Spirit Realm, and to seize power himself. In the original plot, Li did succeed in imprisoning the Spirit Envoy Kan, and locked him in the Thousand Machines Black Evil to monitor his every move. More than ten years later, Xiang Kunlun colluded with the Spirit Envoy Kan, released him from the Thousand Machines Black Evil, and used drugs to knock Dayu Tian unconscious, making him unable to use the Wheel of Divine Pearl.

However, in the current timeline, the Spirit Master Kan is still serving as the Spirit Master, and Li is not as omnipotent as in the original novel, almost controlling the spirit realm by himself.

Yulingshi Li and Yulingshi Kan are twin brothers, but their personalities are completely different, and they can even be said to be incompatible. Their views on humans are also completely opposite. Yulingshi Li is conservative and stubborn, and does not know how to adapt. He thinks that humans are insidious, cunning, selfish, and ambitious. He has always distrusted humans and advocates limiting human power. Yulingshi Kan dares to try new things and digs out talents from the soul-suppressing generals. Although he also knows that those who are not of my race must have different hearts, he still uses humans and regards them as a sharp knife.

On the other hand, the imperial spirit envoy Li treated Da Yutian very harshly, forbidding him to leave the city, play, read what books, and learn what spells, but in a sense, this was responsible for the spirit realm. Although the imperial spirit envoy Kan doted on Da Yutian and followed Da Yutian in everything, in essence, he did it to gain Da Yutian's dependence and prepare for his own struggle for power.

And until the last moment, the Spirit Controller Li did not betray the Spirit Realm and Dayutian, but the Spirit Controller Kan was stabbed by Dayutian and joined forces with Xiang Kunlun to end the Spirit Realm's thousands of years of rule. The last hope of the Spirit Realm was crushed by him personally. He made Dayutian speechless and unable to activate the Wheel of Divine Pearl, giving Xiang Kunlun the opportunity to overthrow the Spirit Realm.

In a sense, the Spirit Master Kan is an opportunist. He will favor whatever side can bring him profit. If cooperation with humans can bring him benefits, he will cooperate with them, even if it means the destruction of the Spirit Realm. It is the same as the saying "whoever gives you milk is your mother."

However, Yuling Shili is a "racist". He regards the interests of his tribe as supreme and is obsessed with maintaining the rule of the Spirit Realm. He hates humans and rejects humans' interference in the affairs of the Spirit Realm. He is particularly resistant to humans squeezing the power space of the Yuling tribe and always firmly believes that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts".

In the current world line, the Spirit Master Li did make a move against the Spirit Master Kan, but with the help of Dayutian and several other Spirit Masters, the Spirit Master Li's plan failed. Although the Spirit Master Kan's status and power suffered a severe blow and plummeted from the altar, he still retained the position of Spirit Master, still at the highest level of the Spirit Realm, still in the core power circle of the Spirit Realm, still has the opportunity to return to the altar, and has the legal basis to hold power. If some things are reasonable, it will be difficult for Li to object.

In order to fight against the growing power of Yuling Shili, the Yuling Shili almost spontaneously formed an alliance to compete with Yuling Shili, opposing him everywhere and preventing him from continuing to expand his power.

What happened to Li Ye this time was just a concentrated outburst of the forces of both sides.

Haha, it's becoming more and more like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a young ruler and a precarious country, and the Ten Eunuchs and General He Jin fighting each other to the death.

Of course, the plot in the original novel is also very similar to the story of the late Han Dynasty. Da Yutian is the young emperor Liu Bian, Yulingshi Li is one of the Ten Eunuchs, Yulingshi Kan is He Jin, Xiang Kunlun is Dong Zhuo, and Cao Yanbing is Cao Cao.

Wuming Palace, the sleeping palace of Dayutian.

Dayutian looked at Li Ye’s resume which his subordinates had brought to him.

Born on the Island of Dead Souls, he is one of the most powerful martial spirit holders in the world, a descendant of Li Tang, he killed the ancient ferocious beast Basashi, wiped out the main force of the demon king Dong Zhuo, and was the biggest winner in the Demon Sealing Blood Sea.

Li Ye's major experiences flashed through the young king's mind.

"Li Ye, you are indeed a talent, but are you trustworthy?"

"Will you be a Huo Guang or a Wang Mang?"

Dayutian looked at the intelligence in his hand and muttered to himself.

Today's meeting made the young king determined to take back his power. He also wanted to be like the great Emperor Qin Shi Huang, hold power, make great achievements, and save the precarious ruling situation of the Spirit Realm.

He was thinking, those great emperors in human history were able to conquer the world, unify the four seas and create powerful empires in just a few decades. Li Ye's ancestor, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the Khan of Heaven, almost conquered the world in five years. The Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, took seven years to punish the tyrannical Qin and destroy the Western Chu.

Those great achievements that humans can achieve in a few decades, can't he achieve them with his long life of hundreds or thousands of years? He is confident that as the new king of the Yuling royal family that can only be nurtured after hundreds of years, he will not be worse than those human monarchs!
As the king of the Yuling clan, he sat on the supreme throne of the Spirit Realm since birth. He had an almost innate desire for power, and he was born with the highest legality and legitimacy to hold power in the Spirit Realm, which further fueled his desire for power.

That was his power as the Great Emperor, and now he was just taking it back.

Although he knew that those who were not of the same race as him must have different hearts, he could not resist his desire for power.

Even if it means risking the life of a tiger, I will do it at all costs.

But what he didn't know was that Li Ye was not a tiger, but a real dragon!
