Chapter 350: The Choice of the Heir to the Throne of the Weiwen Empire
If I could add another six years.

By then the prince will be 12 years old, and it will be almost possible to select the crown prince through a talent competition and finally decide the candidate for succession to the throne.

Seeing that the ministers could not come up with any good ideas for a while, Ivan smiled and made his own decision: "Let's do this. Now my Ivan Empire has four princes."

"Six years from now, when they awaken their martial spirits, whoever awakens the same Emperor Sword martial spirit as me will be the future crown prince and emperor of the Ivan Empire."

Upon hearing this, the senior executives nodded in approval.

The Emperor's Divine Sword Martial Spirit symbolizes the royal Ai family of the Alvin Empire and is the iconic martial spirit of the royal Ai family. Indeed, only a child with the Emperor's Divine Sword Martial Spirit is more suitable to be the future emperor of the Alvin Empire.

But someone immediately raised a question: "Your Majesty, what if the four princes all awaken the Emperor Sword Martial Spirit? Then, what should we do..."

Ivan immediately replied: "If all four princes have awakened the Emperor Sword Martial Spirit, then we will keep them in the mortal world and choose the best candidate for the crown prince when they are 12 years old."

"It's so good! It's so good!"

Smiles appeared on the faces of the ministers.

As long as Alvin is willing to keep the princes until they are twelve years old, by then, the princes' minds will be almost mature.

It can be roughly seen which prince is most suitable to be the future emperor of the Ivan Empire.

Although Alvin was reluctant to leave his children in the mortal world, choosing an heir was indeed very important. He also believed that none of his children were mediocre.

But everyone's personality, work style, and abilities are different, and not everyone is suitable to be an emperor.

If a child who is not suitable to be emperor is left behind, then the Alvin Empire may not last long.

This is of great importance, concerning the future of the Alvin Empire and the entire Douluo Continent.

Therefore, if all four sons awaken the Emperor Sword Spirit by then, then we will have no choice but to let them stay in the mortal world.

When they are twelve years old, the best candidates will be selected. After the selection, the unsuccessful children will be led to the realm of gods.

"Then the matter is settled."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The court meeting ended, the ministers left one after another, and Alvin went home to be with his wife and children.

For the next period of time, Alvin and his wives started an ordinary, simple and happy life, accompanying their children as they grew up every day.

As the seven sons of God gradually grew up, their genetic and bloodline advantages as descendants of God began to gradually manifest themselves.

They obviously grow faster than ordinary children, whether it is learning to walk or learning language.

In addition, they have God's teachings, the best resources and training and teaching of the Alvin Empire, and the background of the strongest second generation.

Their acquired advantages make the advantages of the Seven Sons of God even more obvious.

By the time they are two years old, they already outperform other children of the same age in all aspects.

As the children turned three years old.

The personalities of the Seven Sons of God also began to differentiate significantly, becoming more individual and having their own characteristics. Who is obviously naughty, who is obviously domineering, and who is gentle and carefree, all of these gradually emerged.

Time flies, and five years have passed before I knew it.

The seven sons of God are all five years old. They have grown a lot from newborns and have changed a lot.

Their personality traits became more pronounced.

They all look somewhat like Alvin, but more like their mother.

After the age of five, they began to learn about culture, martial arts knowledge, combat training courses, and other etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Their abilities and talents also began to show from this stage.

To some extent, there is already a stage of competition among them to select a successor.

However, the Seven Sons of God are completely unaware that the competition and contest between them has already begun.

Ivan did not tell the children that they were now competing for the selection.

This might affect the relationship between their brothers and sisters, and it is even possible that none of them wants to inherit the throne. After knowing this, they might not compete harder, but become lazy instead.

He even hid his own talents and made himself appear mediocre so that other brothers and sisters could inherit the throne.

These are all uncertainties.

After all, these seven children have a good relationship.

Therefore, Alvin had already decided not to let them know about this matter for the time being.

In another year, they will be able to awaken their martial souls and truly begin their training career as soul masters. Alvin is now really looking forward to what kind of martial souls they can obtain.

But as children of the Lord of the Divine Realm, no one doubted that their talents would be weak.

Time flies.

The Seventh Son of God finally grew up to six years old.

The seven years that Alvin and his companions had spent in the mortal world had finally come to an end.

There are only a few days left for them in the mortal world.

At this moment, Ai Wen, Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling were at the top of the temple above the Aicheng Palace.

At night, the moon was round, shining on their faces, and the evening breeze blew the corners of their clothes.

They looked up at the sky silently, enjoying the peace and tranquility of the moment.

Soon, Ivan was the first to break the silence.

"Xue'er, Zhuqing, Lingling, Bing'er, it's almost time for us to say goodbye to Douluo Continent."

"Yeah! It's time to leave."

The daughters-in-law responded one after another, with reluctance in their eyes, but they knew they had to go to the divine realm.

"Tomorrow is the day when the children will awaken their martial spirits. This also means that some of them will have to stay in the mortal world and be separated from us."

"Xue'er, Zhuqing, Bing'er, will you agree to leave them in the mortal world?" Alvin looked at them.

Because Ye Lingling gave birth to a daughter, Ye Lingling and Ivan's daughter Ai Xin will no longer be among the heirs to the throne, so Ai Xin will definitely go to the God Realm with them.

"Although we are reluctant to let them go, we are willing to keep them here."

As mothers, few want to be separated from their children, but they know that for the sake of the Aven Empire they are willing to leave their children behind and ultimately choose the best candidate for the throne.

Shui Bing'er immediately changed the heavy topic and said in a relaxed manner: "But speaking of it, I am really looking forward to what kind of martial spirits these children can inherit?"

"Should they inherit our martial spirits, or inherit their father Ivan's Emperor Sword martial spirit?"

"It is also possible that he inherited both his parents' martial spirits and gained twin martial spirits!"
