Shaochen swept his gaze over Mu Ruyue, pondered for a long moment, and said, "You have never been down the mountain, so you don't know about the Four Major Families on the continent!"
"The Four Major Families?"
"Exactly," Shaochen nodded slightly, "These four families are the Ouyang Family, the Nangong Family, the Dongfang Family, and the Moshang Family. Each family represents one of the Four Countries, or rather, these four major families are the true rulers of the Four Countries. Even inheriting the throne requires their approval; only the person they approve can become the Emperor."
In other words, the Four Major Families are the undisputed rulers within Wujie!
Mu Ruyue slightly raised her eyebrows. On the Divine Martial Continent, although there were many forces greater than the imperial power, those powers disdained worldly authority, so there had never been a dictatorship.
