Even if Emperor Taizu of Sheng had passed away and the Crown Prince smoothly ascended the throne, it was highly possible that within a few years, the Crown Prince would also pass away, and the young emperor would take the throne.
From an age perspective, this was not a coincidence but rather a high-probability event.
And could such a young emperor hold his ground against a cunning old demon in their seventies or eighties, who harbored rebellious thoughts and wielded great power?
That was hard to say.
It depended on the ability of this young emperor and the other centrist forces within the court on one hand, and on how long this old demon could live on the other.
Because of so many random factors stacking up, the game "Dark Sand" did not provide a specific outcome but rather a range.
In the worst-case scenario, the reign of the Great Sheng Dynasty could only last fifty-nine years.
In the most optimistic case, it could last one hundred seventy-eight years.
