Chapter 16: Successor! Jiang Fans choice!

"I don't have any wish, the only thing I care about…" Desolate looked outside and said, "It's the future of this country. There are so many outstanding children, I don't know who to choose as heir?"

Outside the house were Desolate's wife and children.

The tribe encouraged fertility. Desolate led by example. He married more than ten wives.

The remaining children, excluding those who died, reached dozens.

Among them, many had good character and wisdom.

This made it difficult for Desolate to choose.

"Father God!

"Please help me, help Xia Kingdom!" Desolate endured the pain. He kowtowed towards the air.

Jiang Fan's gaze turned to the children outside the house. Desolate's children.

There were a total of 43. Eighteen daughters went out. Twenty-five sons remained.

Besides the five who were too young, there were still 20 candidates left.

As Desolate said, all of them had their own abilities, and none of them were incompetent!

This was also…

the result of cultivating Desolate.

One by one, Jiang Fan scanned the 20 sons.

At the same time, he activated the deduction system in his mind.

"System, help me deduce, who is the most suitable to be the next Emperor of Xia Kingdom?"

A moment later.

The results of the deduction came out.

Line of deduction: Best successor to the next Emperor of Xia Kingdom

The results of the deduction:

  1. Reason: generosity and benevolent
  2. Resilient: powerful and high prestige.

Seeing these two results, Jiang Fan frowned.

He was not very satisfied.

Suddenly, Jiang Fan thought of something.

He immediately changed the way he said, "Change the deduction. Who is the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne, and who is the most beneficial to the development of Blue Star's technology?"

The result was also very soon.

Line of deduction: the most advantageous candidate for both Blue Star Technology and Xia Country governance

The results of the deduction:

  1. Reason. benevolent and kind
  2. Resilient. Extremely intelligent and had a desire to explore everything beyond ordinary people.

The result was obvious.

The System was explicit.

Jiang Fan looked at Qi in the courtyard.

Sure enough… he looked different from others.

The others were more or less sad. As for Qi, his expression was calm.

Standing in a corner, looking at the sky, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Qi." Jiang Fan also made a decision.

In front of the wasteland, the word was formed from the dust of the air.

"Qi?"

Seeing this name, Desolate was surprised.

Qi was ranked 18th.

He was quite outstanding. But the only problem was… Qi was too young.

He was only eight years old. But as for Father's instructions, Desolate had no questions.

He immediately called the people outside and announced the name of the successor.

When the shocked crowd dispersed, Desolate left a stunned look on his face.

Qi looked rather weak. He was not impressive. But there was a pair of bright eyes.

"Qi'er, I'll teach you from now on. Follow me to God Father." Desolate pulled Qi down with a puzzled expression.

"Father?" Kai looked around.

He was confused.

Under Qi's puzzled gaze, the air vibrated.

A line of text appeared—

"Desolate, don't worry, I will help you."

"Thank you, Father." Desolate was excited.

He pulled Qi and bowed several times.

After bowing, Qi said, "Father, that was?”

"That's our God Father." Desolate pointed to the sky.

His face was filled with respect and piety.

"Father? Heaven?" He seemed to understand but not completely understanding.

Desolate’s only concern was gone.

It was the end of the wasteland.

The expression on his face passed away peacefully!

He was the first king of Xia Kingdom. The evaluation of later generations of him was extremely high.

Even… calling him "Desolate Heaven King "!

    They will advance and forget the Lord who once guided them. Calling it superstition and praising science.

    my first thought was "obviously, if everyone is competent, then form a committee that makes decisions collectively."
    the second was "oh, right."

      I mean in the novel's defence, women were generally married off. Times like the middle ages, and even earlier. Hell, people still get married off in other parts of the world. (This is not me saying that I agree with it, just that it was ((and still is for some people)) the mentality of that time. Plus, you know how CN novels love to put that kind of ideas in their novels.)))

        yea but a fictional universe you don't have to folow real history. not to mention that tribal socities (which this is) where mostly Marichal, even in our world. I am also not saying that it is bad for the novel universe to have this, but this was said by mc. and he has modern ideas and sexism is just straight up stupid here from all perspectives. he limits his potential pool by half even thou he comes from a modern society that clearly doesn't have this idea. so, it makes no sense for mc to do that here.

        TLDR: i am not saying fictional universes can't be sexist. Just saying that it makes no sense is straight stupid from MCs perspektive. especially considering both his original and current universe are modern and aren't that sexist.
        I am just bit annoyed that ever cn Protagonist is sexist. would be rather nice to have one that isn't for a change.

          Ah. That makes more sense then and I completely agree. Sexism is often prevalent in CN novels. I was thinking about it from a less advanced time period and how those kinds of ideas were considered as the norm, but not from the fact that the MC is living in a more futuristic modern day era where those ideas aren't all too common.

      Sexism is naturalistic, this is our biological imperative. Especially in such a primitive world like this where survival is most important. This system will allow them to live. When things advance ofc some traditions will need to be shed.
