The Five Empires War Discussion was known as the most popular event in the Nine Provinces. Being able to participate in it was like a type of glory. It was unknown how many countries would be willing to do anything to join.
But after so many years, only Great Xia and the four other empires could participate. This was because these five countries were ranked at the top in terms of comprehensive strength such as level of culture, finance, military, etc.
Bluntly speaking, those who wanted to join the Five Empires War Discussion had to be top-tier countries in the Nine Provinces. It was just like the Permanent Five of the UN Security Council. If you didn't have a nuclear bomb and your ancestors hadn't ruled the world before, you had no qualifications to enter.
