The Earth's First Suzerain

Summary

Sun Ce is in high spirits as the "Holy Golden Core" given by Xia Tian has stabilized their father Sun Jian's condition after severe poisoning and injuries. Although Sun Jian hasn't fully awakened, the immediate danger to his life has passed. Sun Ce and Sun Quan express gratitude to Xia Tian and his companions for their assistance. The "Revenge Golden Core" not only enhances cultivation but also grants a portion of the Centipede Sage's power, aiding Sun Jian's recovery. At a banquet, Sun Ce drinks with Li Bai while Sun Quan admires Lü Bu, recognizing his strength and hoping to recruit him as a top general. Tensions arise when a sage in resplendent robes toasts to the Qianxia Dynasty, but Xia Tian refuses to drink, causing embarrassment. Lu Su and Sun Quan attempt to ease the situation, but Xia Tian's response remains cool. Suddenly, Empress Wu arrives, respected by her sons and revealing her authority. She expresses gratitude to Xia Tian for the elixir that helped Sun Jian. The atmosphere shifts when the "Eagle-eyed Youth Saint" downplays Lü Bu's achievements, leading to a defense from Zhou Tai, who acknowledges Lü Bu's crucial role in the battle. The conversation turns to Lady Sun Shang Xiang, who is now of age, prompting Empress Wu to propose a "bride selection" for her to find a suitable husband.
