Chapter 157 Ending (Part 2) The ruler of this world is destined to...

"When the heaven goes against the season, disasters occur; when the earth goes against its nature, evil spirits occur; when the people go against their morals, chaos occurs; and when there is chaos, evil spirits and disasters arise. *"

In a village at the foot of Xili Mountain, the teacher was giving a lesson to the children.

News of the Xizhou riot had already spread, but Sizhou was still calm. People did not panic at all as if the world was about to fall into chaos. This peace was only due to the existence of Xilishan and Duotian Sect.

"Master, I heard that after the Xizhou rioters besieged the prefecture, they only killed a few minor officials and did not dare to touch the governor. As long as Your Majesty issues an imperial decree to allow everyone to harvest this year's rice, the rioters will willingly lay down their weapons and surrender."

"good."

"But Your Majesty insisted on his own way and refused to negotiate peace. He also wanted to kill one person as a warning to the rest and to tear the rioters to pieces in front of the public. Such brutal actions made the number of rioters in Xizhou increase. In just ten days, they had spread to dozens of counties."

"How can you criticize the emperor?"

"The students don't dare, they just don't understand."

Many pairs of confused eyes looked at the teacher. One student bravely stood up and asked: "Those rioters are actually just a group of poor people who can't eat. Can they also be regarded as 'people rebelling against morality'?"

The Master was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not really."

The teacher sighed and said to the students, "Let's stop here for today and go home."

Not to mention the children, even the adults in the court could not understand the emperor's almost crazy behavior.

It was clearly just an ordinary conflict between officials and the people, but because of the emperor's brutal methods, it escalated and became out of control.

The emperor of the past could be considered a capable ruler, if not the greatest one in history. However, for some reason his temper changed drastically, and he became a tyrant who believed that those who obeyed him would prosper, while those who disobeyed him would perish.

There are even rumors that the emperor is now so suspicious that even the "internal minister" Pei Jizai and Pei Shanggong, who are always by his side, are not allowed to serve him closely.

More and more people suspected that the emperor was really crazy.

The nursery rhyme "Emperor Yang Drawing Blood" gradually spread, with Guangxin County as its center.

Some even said that the winner of this martial arts examination was the regicide in the nursery rhyme.

…

"Someone is deliberately spreading rumors." Gu Sheng's face looked grim. When he thought of the word "Emperor Yang", he wished he could eat the flesh and drink the blood of the mastermind behind the scenes.

However……

Thinking of the imperial edict asking her to continue to rectify the administration of officials, Gu Sheng felt a cold wind blowing through his chest which was filled with anger.

Even she, a die-hard fan of the emperor, had to admit that the emperor's current behavior was childish and frivolous, and was clearly a sign of the country's demise!

This was the time when the local governments needed to support the central government, but the emperor continued to put pressure on local officials at this critical juncture.

The three main groups that make up this country, the royal family, the literati, and the common people, have now all been pushed to the opposite side by the emperor himself. Isn't this courting self-destruction?

If there were no more important things to do, Gu Sheng would have gone back to the capital to ask the emperor in person what had happened and why it had come to this, even if he had to disobey the emperor's order.

But unfortunately, Gu Sheng had a more important thing at hand.

She must find out from the swordsman whether the fake sword is the real sword that kills the king.

She raised her head, looked at the inn standing quietly in front of her in the dark, and touched the statue of the Moon God in her arms.

Previously, she had arranged for the candidates to continue the competition according to the order of the Swordsman, but before the final exam, she added another test, delaying it for a few days.

She tried to find a way to overcome this crisis from the hint given by the swordsman, but her words were too brief. Just the sentence "Moon, good" could not infer any useful information.

Until today, Gu Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite the statue of Taiyin Star God to ask the swordsman directly where the magic sword should be used.

Taking a deep breath of the slightly cool night air, Gu Sheng tried to calm himself down and ignore the strange smell coming from the inn. He pushed open the wooden door and walked towards the room where the swordsman was staying.

At this moment, General Wei came running from behind her, grabbed her, and said quickly, "My lord, this is bad."

She took a breath, her eyes full of bloodshot, and veins on her forehead bulged: "Your Majesty is determined to lead the army in person, the Right Prime Minister can't persuade him, and Consort Pei has been placed under house arrest after her death-defying remonstrance failed. In three days at most, Your Majesty will go to Xizhou!"

"What!"

…

Swordsman Li Zhou was looking at her personal panel. The simulator had not popped up any new prompts. She clicked it to see if there was anything wrong, and then suddenly realized that she hadn't checked the panel parameters for a long time.

Li Zhou didn't read the content in brackets at all. Her attention was completely attracted by the 240 attribute points she earned.

She had no idea about repelling the Heavenly Lord and sweeping across the extraterritorial gods, so naturally she didn't know how incredible this achievement was in the eyes of mortals. No matter how many attribute points the simulator gave her, it would not be an exaggeration.

She was simply happy that she could reap so many fruits of her labor.

I am so strong.

Li Zhou rolled around happily several times.

Spend what you earn. After calming down, Li Zhou distributed the money evenly among the three attributes he needed as usual.

[Root bone: 99+/100 (Extraordinary root bone, a genius in cultivation, a top talent that even the Heavenly Dao can't help but covet!)]

[Luck: 98+/100 (If you don’t find any treasure when you go out, it’s considered as lost!)]

[Lifespan: 100+/100 (Learn until you are old, and you will become the most knowledgeable ancestor grandmother!)]

Wow, the attributes related to cultivation are almost maxed out.

Li Zhou became more and more complacent. She glanced at her comprehension and naturally thought that it must be the simulator that made a mistake. She was extremely smart and her comprehension had already reached the maximum level. There was no need to increase it.

After clicking "OK", Li Zhou struck a victory pose. She had gained so many attribute points. Should the simulator give her a golden upgrade special effect?

In the past, as long as Li Zhou wanted something, the simulator would sense it and cooperate. But this time, for some reason, Li Zhou said it several times in his mind, but he still didn't get the special effects he wanted.

Swordsman Li Zhou frowned in confusion, wondering if it was a problem with the vest?

She quickly used the baby's body to call the simulator, but after shouting for a long time, she only called out the personal panel and did not get what she wanted.

For some reason, Li Zhou was inexplicably concerned about the abnormality of the simulator. He searched the panel to see if the smart service function was turned off.

She searched for a long time but couldn't find where to open the smart customer service. She only noticed that the [Charm] attribute turned into a glaring blood red.

50 points of charm is not high, Li Zhou thought, but she couldn't remember that in the past few days, her charm value had been increasing on its own, but she clearly didn't take the initiative to add a point.

She also didn't know that according to human standards, a charm value of 20 was already beyond the range of ordinary people. Her current 50 points were enough to make ordinary people become her fanatical believers and spontaneously sacrifice their lives for her the moment they saw her.

"What are you looking for?"

Suddenly, Yue Niang's voice reached the ears of the baby Li Zhou. She raised her head and saw her mother standing not far away. Xuan Yangzi, dressed in ragged yellow clothes, stood behind her, holding a soft and slippery tentacle in his hand.

There were tears in the corners of both of their eyes.

Even the incarnations of Taiyin and Laojun on earth, looking directly at the present Li Zhou, could not help but be shaken and had an urge to cry bitterly.

The ancient sages summarized this impulse as: If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.

This is the charm of Li Zhou.

Li Zhou, however, was not interested at all and didn't even take a second look at his favorite seafood.

Compared with seafood, simulators are more important.

She turned back and continued poking at the panel, trying to wake the simulator up.

Xuan Yangzi was surprised and said to himself: "Didn't you say you like to eat seafood? Before Tianzun left, I specifically asked him for some. Of course, he didn't agree at first..."

Not daring to attract Li Zhou’s attention, Tianzun didn’t even fight back and quickly withdrew.

Of course, with Xuan Yangzi's status and vision, when he couldn't help crying, he had already realized that the force that separated Li Zhou from his original body had finally reached its limit.

The breath of the Supreme God emanates from the little baby wearing a bellyband in front of him, which makes people unconsciously have crazy thoughts of giving up themselves, sacrificing their souls, and becoming one with Him.

However, Xuan Yangzi has always been casual, and even when he felt the terrifying charm emanating from Li Zhou, he remained calm.

At worst, we can just perish together.

Yue Niang did not have her good attitude. She looked at the baby Li Zhou with concern and asked her again: "What are you looking for?"

Li Zhou still did not respond.

She was so absorbed in studying the simulator that she forgot about how her daughter and mother got along.

The next moment, she was startled and suddenly remembered that she and her mother were the best couple in the world.

What's going on? The simulator is important, but my mother is not important? Li Zhou knocked his head in frustration, put away the panel, and ran towards Yue Niang.

"I'm looking for my friend. She seems to be missing." Li Zhou blurted out, and then fell into deep thought again.

What was she talking about? Wasn't she trying to wake up the simulator? Why did she think that if the panel didn't respond, her friend was missing?

"Mom will help you find it, okay?" Yue Niang naturally bent down and wanted to pick up Li Zhou.

Li Zhou came back to his senses, looked at Yue Niang's face, shook his head, and slowly backed away.

Even though her comprehension level was only 10, she still figured out something because of her concern for the simulator.

These things are like dark shadows swimming under the water, light and shadows reflected in the clouds, and dim shadows reflected in the mirror; they are vague and blurry.

Li Zhou became "scared". She was afraid that her good friend disappeared because she stayed with her for too long, and she was also afraid that her mother would leave without saying goodbye.

But she didn't know that her "fear" was also a burden. The more she feared that the people around her would disappear, the faster they would leave.

She can think of herself as a human being, but she should not truly understand people. Even if she only has a little bit of real affection for her closest friends and mother, the world will be shaken by this little bit of emotion.

The universe was born from His dream. Everything is false. He is the only truth. But He is the only one who cannot know this fact.

The ruler of this world is destined to be blind and ruthless.

He has everything and yet has nothing.

For the first time, baby Li Zhou walked away from Yue Niang. She didn’t know why she did this. She walked further and further away in confusion.

She called up the simulator panel again, staring at the blood-red glare of [Charm: 50], and instinctively called out, "Jingzhen?"

Is that you, Shizuma?

Feeling a sharp pain in his brain, Li Zhou was thinking hard.

The past is almost coming back to me. How did she travel through time? How did she get the simulator?

The sting eased, the fog dissipated, and we were only one step away from the truth.

The simulator panel remained quiet, and the dazzling [Charm] attribute points decreased from 50 to 49, and then rebounded back to 50.

In fact, it’s not that the simulator doesn’t want to pay attention to Li Zhou, it’s just that it no longer has the energy to control the rise of this charm.

"Zhu'er."

The faint light on Yue Niang's body became more obvious. Xuan Yangzi was about to say something but stopped himself and was about to reach out to hold her, but she had already made up her mind. She strode forward and hugged her daughter who wanted to leave alone from behind.

"Mother?" Li Zhou turned around in surprise. A ray of clear sunlight shone into her eyes, bringing tranquility and peace. Yue Niang's hair moved without wind, and her whole body radiated soft light. His palms held her cheeks, and the touch was soft.

She no longer resisted Li Zhou's power, but instead embraced this overflowing, unconscious evil, causing Yue Niang to dance uncontrollably like a ribbon.

Let your mother be your most staunch believer.

"Mother is here," she said. "She will always be here."

Her voice was as soft as a whisper, and she used one hand to cover Li Zhou's eyes to prevent her from seeing her changes.

Her figure became thinner, soft as silk, swaying gently in the breeze.

First the limbs, then the facial features disappeared.

A streamer replaced the human figure.

An understatement, not worth mentioning.

Then, the [Charm: 50] on Li Zhou's panel quickly dropped to [Charm: 20], no longer rebounding, and no longer showing the heart-pounding blood red color.

Yue Niang, with a mother's broad mind, accommodated most of the pollution that he had unconsciously spread, and brought him back to a state that the human world could bear.

The pressure in the simulator suddenly dropped, and [Comprehension: 10] finally started to flash. The idea that was about to come out of Li Zhou's mind disappeared completely like a river flowing backwards.

She lowered her head and looked at the ribbon that was slowly falling into her palm. She subconsciously tried to hold it in her arms, but found nothing.

The ribbon emitting soft light disappeared from her palm.

In the sky, the pale full moon was still hanging high, but its bright light had lost some of its calming power.

The part of Yue Niang will never return to Taiyin's original body.

In the boundless darkness, on the throne surrounded by stars, God is still dozing.

Closest to Him, there was one more ribbon spinning and jumping, but it did not cause the slightest ripple.

Xuan Yangzi stared at the scene steadily, and after a moment, he walked towards Li Zhou.

"Master." She squatted down in front of Li Zhou, handed over the tentacles in her hand, and looked at her expression and said, "Would you like some seafood?"

Li Zhou looked up at the full moon, feeling strange. His mother was here just now, why was she gone now?

She looked at the tentacles that gave off a salty smell, and no longer ignored them. Instead, she had a big appetite, thinking that she would send a portion to her mother after cooking it, and nodded and said, "Yes!"

Appetite returned to Li Zhou, and so did human nature.

…

Swordsman Li Zhou held her sword and walked down the stairs briskly. With her current qualifications, she would be able to ascend to heaven with just some practice. She had to go out and look for a good feng shui spot to create some atmosphere for her ascension.

Gu Sheng and Wei Dutong were talking at the door, both of them looked extremely ugly. Just as Li Zhou was about to go around, the two men had already seen her.

Gu Sheng hesitated for only a moment, then he put away his outward emotions, took out the statue of Taiyin Star God from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to the swordsman Li Zhou.

"Master Swordsman," she said respectfully, "this statue of the Moon God was created by Master Bi before his death. It is said to contain a trace of the Moon God's power. I, at the order of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, am offering this treasure to you, Master."

The emperor is going to lead the army in person, and Gu Sheng is extremely anxious. However, no matter how anxious she is, she cannot directly ask Li Zhou to rescue people. She can only offer treasures, hoping that she can have some good feelings towards the emperor.

Li Zhou didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words. He glanced at his luck value and nodded secretly in his heart.

As expected of my 98 points of luck, I found a treasure as soon as I went downstairs.

Li Zhou took the statue of Taiyin Star God and was about to put it away, but he saw a glow emanating from the statue, forming an arrow pointing to the east.

The clever Li Zhou immediately realized that this was pointing the way for him.

Taiyin Star God knew her thoughts and was also helping her find a Feng Shui treasure land for her ascension?

Li Zhou nodded happily.

Gu Sheng and Wei Dutong looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise. It was not surprising that the statues really had divine power. They had seen a few gods in recent days. What was surprising was that the oracle was so clear and easy to understand, and it directly pointed out the direction.

Even though they didn't know what was in the East, this was much better than those obscure hints.

Looking at the whole world, the only sect that can be treated with such courtesy by the gods is the Duotian Sect.

How could the two of them know that Taiyin had this experience before and knew that hints wouldn't work, so the simpler the hint he gave to Li Zhou, the better.

Li Zhou was about to leave, and he saw Gu Sheng and Wei Dutong following him closely. He wanted to leave them behind, but suddenly he remembered that Gu Sheng seemed to be the top scholar in literature.

Number one scholar = good at writing = his deeds can be recorded and passed down through the ages

Li Zhou quickly changed his tone and said calmly, "Let's go."

As she spoke, she summoned Zhi Beiyou, who rolled up a ray of sword light, wrapped around Gu Sheng and Wei Dutong, and flew towards the east together.

Gu Sheng glanced at the sword energy worms around him, and his legs went limp. Wei Dutong, who had anticipated this, held him up: "Master Swordsman's sword energy is indeed special..."

"yes……"

The two were led by the swordsman Li Zhou, and before they flew far, they ran into a group of martial arts examination candidates.

The candidates somehow heard the news that His Majesty would lead the army in person, and they were all excited and wanted to do their part to help His Majesty.

Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, she had a bad feeling. She had initially sought out the Swordsman in order to find out whether the Fake Suijian really wanted to kill the king. Who could have thought that the Lord of the Moon would guide the Swordsman to meet this group of examinees.

Could it be that even the Moon God thinks that Your Majesty is no longer worthy of being a ruler?

Gu Sheng was anxious, but the next moment, he saw the arrow pointing east in front of the statue of the Star God in the swordsman Li Zhou's hand turned and pointed to the north.

It turns out that this is not yet the destination pointed out by Taiyin.

Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Swordsman Li Zhou naturally did not notice Gu Sheng's change of mood, but when he saw this group of young martial artists, he had another idea.

Bring these young men along and let them see her last sword before she ascends to heaven. Then there will be more people praising her in the future.

Thinking of this, she twisted her sword and wrapped the young men in the sword light, then continued to fly north.

Although the young men were martial artists, they were not as experienced as Gu Sheng. After falling into the sword light, not only did their legs go weak, they almost wet their pants.

Fortunately, Wei Dutong was very tall, and he waved his left and right arms vigorously to support them all.

Surrounded by numerous sword-energy worms, the group flew hundreds of miles and encountered a group of blockers again.

This time, blocking the way ahead was a mob that stretched as far as the eye could see.
