Involvement Of External Powers And Coming Clean

Xukong's words sealed his involvement in the entire issue.

~Sigh~

Lin Mu let out a sigh, knowing that things had indeed happened due to Xukong and partly due to him. 

'Though considering they decided to take advantage of the weakened states, this was probably something they had thought of before anyways.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He didn't think that this was the first time the Kingdoms would have thought of expanding and conquering their neighbors. After all, the Eight Kingdom Alliance was the only continent that hadn't seen the rise of an empire yet. They all knew just how prosperous and wealthy the other empires were, as well as the kind of gains they had after becoming empires.

They too desired the same, and wished to be the Imperial Family. 

Only by doing that would they get the most benefits and end up on the top. After all, there could only be one imperial family, as the other would all be eliminated.
