Li Ming was puzzled, "Aren't you going to choose an inheritor?"
"Already chosen." The white little elephant replied.
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat, cautiously asking, "It's not me, is it?"
"Indeed." The white little elephant affirmed his guess, leaving Li Ming speechless.
"Just like that?" He struggled internally, knowing that once he agreed, he'd be bound to fulfill the Pioneer plan. He was still hesitant.
Initially, he thought he was already at odds with the Empire. If the benefits of being the Inheritor outweighed the costs, he wouldn't mind completing the Pioneer plan.
But Prince Costat's ambiguous attitude made him realize that the blame-shifting plan within the Empire didn't necessarily target him specifically.
Thus, he hesitated again, intending to go with the flow, but the Dominion Holy Image directly made the decision for him.
