This wasn't the first crowdfunding effort; the other members were quite familiar with the procedures.

In just a few words, everyone completed the crowdfunding.

Audrey contributed 2000 pounds, with 1000 pounds offset by previous consultation fees.

The other members, Alger, Fors, Emlyn, Cattleya, and 'The World,' each contributed 500 pounds, while Little Sun continued to provide two Beyonder ingredients.

Alger and Cattleya were both curious about what the 'Emperor' meant by consultation fees.

But now was not the time to consider this. After reaching the crowdfunding goal, the 'Emperor' immediately began to speak: "I believe everyone should remember the 'United Empire' period, which was also a very crucial period for the Night Emperor!

"Here, I want to first discuss the issue I just discussed with Mr. Moon. The great nobles of the Trunsoest Empire did play a role in the Four Emperors War, but the support of the six gods was the key to the Night Emperor's early victory!"

Everyone, of course, knew which six gods were being referred to!

Klein, behind the gray fog: Roselle also received similar information!

Alger, with his arms crossed, leaned back in his chair: I previously speculated about the role of the gods in the 'Four Emperors War.' Now it's clear—they supported the Night Emperor! With the support of six gods, how could the Black Emperor and the Blood Emperor possibly be the Night Emperor's opponents?

Cattleya, pinching her chin: I had similar speculations before, that the 'Four Emperors War' also involved a game between the gods, but I never imagined that the six gods would choose to stand behind an emperor!

Audrey suddenly realized: When exchanging information about the Solomon Empire and the Tudor Empire before, I overlooked the choice of the six gods. According to their previous experience of jointly dealing with the Black Emperor and the True Creator, they would definitely realign. But why would they uniformly support the Night Emperor?

The others had similar questions. Fors simply asked, "Mr. Emperor, when you narrated the Solomon Empire, you also said that it was difficult for the six gods to form a unified camp. Why did they choose to support the Night Emperor together this time?"

"The answer to this question is purely my personal speculation. If anyone obtains other relevant information, you are welcome to communicate and discuss it with me," Hobert said with a smile. "When I was learning about the history of the Night Emperor, I noticed a problem.

"Before the 'United Empire,' the six gods single-handedly planned the first fall of Solomon. Can it be logically assumed that the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the 'Black Emperor' pathway were in the hands of the six gods?

"But why later, would they rather let the Uniqueness and another Sequence 1 of the 'Black Emperor' pathway return to Solomon than let Trunsoest, whom they supported, become the new 'Black Emperor'? Instead, with their help, they allowed Trunsoest to become the 'Justiciar' of the adjacent pathway?"

Klein, who knew the most comprehensive relevant information, was slightly stunned: That's right, if the six gods supported Trunsoest, it would seem simpler for him to become a true god of the 'Black Emperor' pathway. I didn't notice this before!

The other members had similar thoughts. Only Cattleya recalled a key piece of information: I remember the Queen once said that after a new 'Black Emperor' appeared, the original 'Black Emperor' would completely fall! If the six gods allowed Trunsoest to become the 'Black Emperor,' they could also completely destroy Solomon. But why didn't they do that?

With questions in their minds, everyone focused more intently on the 'Emperor'.

"I have two guesses about this. The first guess is that the timing was not right, and the second guess is that the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway was not in the hands of the six gods at all!" Hobert explained his thoughts in detail:

"First, let's talk about the first guess. As far as I know, becoming a 'Black Emperor' requires a lot of abstracted interaction…"

Hobert deliberately didn't explain this too clearly. In fact, the interaction he was talking about referred to linking one's name to the title of emperor, making it common knowledge among the people, and establishing a close and complex set of rules that violated normal circumstances, including architectural style.

Achieving these two points required sufficient opportunity and planning. It could be difficult or simple.

For a transmigrator like Hobert, "establishing a close and complex set of rules that violated normal circumstances" was not too difficult.

Just like the Ming-style decoration style he used before, if he had his own country, using unscrupulous operations similar to "Keep your hair, lose your head" he could change the architectural style of the entire country in two or three years.

But for Trunsoest, this should be more difficult, as it was difficult to establish a completely new cultural system.

However, linking Trunsoest to the emperor was relatively simpler for Trunsoest. After all, he was a great noble very early on and one of the emperors of the United Empire. It shouldn't be too difficult to have this kind of common sense.

Hobert continued: "…Trunsoest may not have been ready, so the six gods did not let Trunsoest become the 'Black Emperor'.

"But I don't think this reason is too difficult for the six gods to solve. They can completely use their respective authorities to help Trunsoest prepare.

"To put it bluntly, even if Trunsoest was not ready, if the six gods needed it, Trunsoest would have to obediently risk advancement.

"The reason for explaining this is to not rule out this possibility."

Hobert paused slightly and then said, "I think the second guess is more reasonable. The Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway is not with the six gods, but was taken away by the True Creator who was driven to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'.

"This explains many things. I told you before that Tudor secretly built many hidden buildings to prepare for advancing to the 'Black Emperor'.

"Why would he make these preparations? Was it because he contacted the True Creator in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'?

"In order to muddy the waters in the Northern Continent, would the True Creator agree to give the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway to Tudor? As for what conditions Tudor promised the True Creator, this is unknown.

"There should be some secret deal between them, such as Tudor grandly or secretly supporting the True Creator's return after becoming the 'Black Emperor'.

"It was precisely because of this kind of transaction that no god supported Tudor, so Tudor became the second fallen emperor.

"At the same time, it was precisely because Trunsoest knew Tudor's intention to become the 'Black Emperor' that he completely relied on the six gods in order to avoid being killed by Tudor.

"Perhaps some of Tudor's secrets were revealed to the six gods by him, which directly led to the division of the United Empire."

Hobert spread his hands: "I emphasize again, the above are all my guesses.

"According to the records, Tudor and Trunsoest both responded to the pressure of Solomon's resurrection.

"And Tudor had no choice but to jump to a non-adjacent pathway after Trunsoest became a true god of the adjacent pathway.

"However, the records are full of doubts. First of all, the timing of Solomon's resurrection was too bad. If he could wait a little longer, it would be better to resurrect after the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor started fighting.

"Of course, it may also be that Solomon could not control the process of resurrection, or he did not know the situation outside.

"But after his resurrection, he did not go to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' to continue to unite with the True Creator, nor did he let the True Creator descend again on the Northern Continent to share the pressure for himself. Instead, he stayed on the Northern Continent and fought the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor head-on, which is also quite suspicious.

"In addition, the alliance of the six gods this time was too uniform. Before the Blood Emperor seized Medici's victory, they joined forces to make Trunsoest a true god of the 'Arbiter' pathway.

"Unlike the last time, when Solomon and the True Creator's alliance grew stronger, the six gods formed a united camp. Does this mean that before Tudor became the Blood Emperor, the six gods reached a consensus for some reason?

"Also, why was Tudor so sure to prepare for advancing to the 'Black Emperor'? As far as I know, the preparations he made were quite comprehensive, and he even asked Mr. 'Door' to set up the relevant teleportation array.

"If he wasn't quite sure, why would he make such thorough preparations?

"If the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' was with the six gods, why didn't he actively approach the six gods? Instead, Trunsoest received the support of the six gods?

"Did Tudor think that with his own strength, he could defeat one or two gods and obtain the Uniqueness he wanted?

"It is based on the above doubts that I have such a guess.

"I put all the answers in front of everyone. You can believe the records, or you can refer to my guess."

Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze long table, thought to himself: The 'Emperor's' analysis feels like a combination of "official history" and "historical speculation." Official history often only has fragmentary records of some events, or deliberately blurs some events. But it is still possible to find the truth of history from some clues in other events! The 'Emperor's' speculations feel like finding the truth of history through fragments.

Alger also believed: I am more inclined to the Emperor's guess. The truth is often very simple, that is, it is built on relationships of interest, and the 'Emperor's' guess basically takes into account the interests of all parties, and is more credible than rigid data.

Audrey also sighed in her heart: Hobert's guess makes this history full, always with a feeling of listening to a senior lecturer in the Department of History giving a lecture. They often have their own unique views on a historical event, different from textbooks and historical materials, and their views are often supported by sufficient evidence. The process of listening to them dissect history is simply a mental enjoyment.

Cattleya put her hands on the bronze long table: The "Emperor's" logical thinking ability is very strong, and he successfully convinced me. He seems... seems to know a lot about the game between gods.

Fors sighed: In the "Emperor's" eyes, the game between the gods and the Four Emperors does not seem complicated, and he can always find some easily overlooked clues and draw some unbelievable conclusions!

Derrick, who is not too serious about the truth of history: Mr. Emperor's guess is too exciting, this is more like a game between gods.

Emlyn just felt: Why can't I have such understanding and views from those materials? It must be because the "Emperor" saw more detailed information! Yes, it must be so!

As for Hobert's description of the attitude of the six gods, everyone was already used to it and did not feel any surprise.

Hobert gave everyone a few seconds to think before continuing: "It was precisely because the six gods were all on the side of the Night Emperor that after the 'Four Emperors War' began, the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms jointly sealed Mr. 'Door' in the opposing camp.

"In the subsequent battle, the Night Emperor first joined forces with the Blood Emperor, who also had grievances with Solomon, to destroy the Solomon Empire together.

"As far as I know, the Sequence 1 characteristics of the 'Black Emperor' pathway were later acquired by Adam, who was once a great noble of the Tudor Empire. The two Sequence 1 characteristics in Adam's hands are likely to be the spoils of war from the two emperors joining forces to destroy Solomon."

He continued: "In the division of the spoils of victory of the Solomon Empire, I think Trunsoest is likely to have obtained the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway and a Sequence 1.

"This should be an important reason why he was later jointly destroyed by the six gods."

Everyone was surprised: Why would the six gods jointly attack the Night Emperor they supported?
