In July, after repeatedly obstructing the advance of the Imperial Court's army, Gu Wenhui seemed to feel fully prepared and that the timing was just right.
He finally chose to make a proclamation to the world, overthrowing the tyrannical rule of the Fifth Prince. In Nanyang County City, atop a tall building, he announced with a raised arm that he would become the new king of the Seven Prefectures.
This naturally caused a tremendous sensation.
From the Imperial Court and the other three kings down to the common people, everyone was dumbfounded by this news.
Nobody expected that the Fifth Prince, with the bloodline of emperors, would meet his end not by the conquest of the Imperial Court but due to internal strife, essentially engineering his own downfall.
And Gu Wenhui, who inherited all the Fifth Prince's powers, became the first Foreign King in this chaotic world without possessing any emperor's bloodline!
