End of the world.

In the vicissitudes and strange forest, there are towering trees all around that block out the sun.

The tree trunk was so wide that seven or eight people could not hug it together. The bark was a black and red color. I don't know how many people had been eaten by it.

Xie Yuanshan led the eight psychics of the hunting team and slowly walked towards the woods.

"Boss, it was in this forest that I saw the silver-level green python last time."

A square-faced middle-aged man pointed at the forest ahead and said to Xie Yuanshan with lingering fear.

"Okay, if there really is a silver-level mutant beast, I'll credit you for your contribution."

Xie Yuanshan patted him on the shoulder and praised him.

"Brothers, everyone be careful and follow me in."

Then he waved his arm and led everyone into the forest.

In order to hunt for the Level 3 Divine Crystal, he searched everywhere for silver-level mutant beasts and zombies.

During this period, he obtained two divine crystals and now had 9 level 3 divine crystals in his hands.

"Rustle, rustle"

Xie Yuanshan took the lead, and a group of nine people entered the forest in a 135 arrow shape.

What’s surprising is that there wasn’t even a single snake, insect, rat or ant to be seen along the way, which was extremely strange.

But Xie Yuanshan was not surprised but happy. Animals have a sense of territory, even after mutation.

The fact that they did not encounter low-level mutant beasts just shows that there are high-level mutant beasts entrenched there.

"call"

Just then, a fishy wind blew by, bringing with it a gust of wind.

A huge shadow suddenly jumped out from the distance and attacked the back of the team.

This guy is so smart that he actually knows how to pick the soft ones.

"ah"

A bronze-level psychic was knocked down by the shadow and one of his arms was bitten off in an instant.

"You evil beast, you're looking for death!"

Xie Yuanshan saw the shadow clearly. It was an extremely ferocious giant snake with a waist as thick as an adult's body and more than twenty meters long.

Cold eyes, a mouth full of sharp fangs, and a bloody mouth drooling with disgusting saliva.

The most striking thing is that it has a pair of fist-sized protrusions on the top of its head.

It is no longer a snake, but a green python!

If a protrusion breaks through the skin and grows into horns, it is a dragon!

"You all back off."

The team member died, Xie Yuanshan shouted angrily, and rushed forward with an F-grade fine steel sword in hand.

The green python's eyes turned cold, and it opened its mouth and spewed out a black poisonous gas towards Xie Yuanshan.

Xie Yuanshan dodged the poison gas, jumped behind the green python, and suddenly slashed with a sword.

With a "puff", the sharp F-grade fine steel sword slashed into the python's body, leaving a long wound.

He took advantage of the situation and continued to swing his sword, each of his strikes containing twenty-five tons of power.

The seven bronze-level psychics around it surrounded it and kept attacking the green python.

One after another, colorful supernatural attacks fell on the green python's body, but failed to even break its skin.

Their attacks were just tickling the silver-level green python and could not break its defense.

“Ah!”

Feeling the pain, the green python curled up and wrapped itself tightly around Xie Yuanshan.

Activate the Blue Silver Entanglement skill. Oh no, it's the Green Python's Strangulation.

"Ah, death!"

Xie Yuanshan roared angrily, and all the strength in his body surged. He suddenly broke free from its entanglement and jumped onto its head.

He punched down suddenly, and with a "boom", twenty-five tons of power exploded.

"puff"

The green python was hit so hard that its head was dizzy and its eyes were a little blurry, and it didn't know east, west, south or north.

The huge sense of crisis made it want to escape.

Its intelligence is about the same as that of an ordinary person, and it knows that its strength is not as good as those of these two-legged beasts.

But it wanted to escape, so how could Xie Yuanshan let it? As soon as the green python tried to run away, he grabbed its tail and held it horizontally by the waist like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Boom!"

With a sudden swing, the green python was smashed heavily to the ground, making a dull sound.

A long crack was smashed into the ground covered with dead leaves, and the trees dozens of feet around were smashed into pieces.

Xie Yuanshan took advantage of the situation and kept throwing the green python around.

"Boom boom. Boom."

There was a dull sound like beating a drum, and cracks appeared on the ground.

The surroundings were in a mess and I don’t know how many trees were destroyed.

The light in the green python's eyes became dimmer and dimmer, and finally, after a howl, there was no sound.

Its body collapsed like a deflated ball, and blood flowed from its mouth.

"Haha, another divine crystal is in hand."

Feeling that the green python had completely lost its life, Xie Yuanshan cut open its head and found a light golden crystal.

Including this one, he now has ten level 3 divine crystals in his hand.

"Don't waste the body."

Looking down at the huge body of the green python, Xie Yuanshan put it and the divine crystal into his personal space.

"Let's go back to the base and reward them according to their merits."

Afterwards, Xie Yuanshan waved his hand and invited everyone to start their return journey.

On the way back, he had an idea and opened the chat group.

"picture.jpeg; picture.jpeg."

"Brothers, I hunted another silver-level mutant beast."

Take photos of the green python and the divine crystal and upload them to the group, Xie Yuanshan said.

"Awesome, big brother Xie is so powerful, killing people of the same level is as easy as butchering pigs and dogs."

"This snake is so big, but why is it so limp?"

"Look at the two bulges on its head. Is it about to transform into a dragon?"

"A hundred years to be a python, a thousand years to be a dragon."

"Brother is awesome."

The group members clicked on the picture and were all amazed at the huge body of the green python.

"I fell to death while holding it. All its bones were broken, and it became limp."

Xie Yuanshan said it lightly, not mentioning that he was almost killed by Lan Yin.

"Tsk tsk, too powerful, one punch has a force of 25 tons, who can resist it?"

Su Qing exclaimed, his tone filled with a hint of envy.

After practicing supernatural powers and Taoism for many days, his total body strength was only 4,600 kilograms.

Although he is far superior to world-class boxing champions, he is still far behind Xie Yuanshan.

"I only have 500 kilograms of strength, not even a fraction of what Brother Xie has."

"However, with the help of many of my followers, I have already conquered the area south of the Yangtze River and occupied half of the country."

"Now, my subordinates are all urging me to offer sacrifices to the heavens and claim the throne."

"But I feel like it's too fast and the foundation is unstable. I want to do it later."

"Everyone, give me some advice. Should I become king first or sort out the territory and divide the land first?"

Travel to the world of Qing Dynasty, Jinling.

Xu Huaping sat at the top, with his family members and subordinates below him.

Everyone suggested that she offer sacrifices to heaven and be crowned king, but she was somewhat reluctant.

As all the group members were online, she sent this difficult question to the group to seek everyone's opinions.

"Well, they let you be king because they want to gain the credit of following the dragon."

"With your strength, it's only a matter of time before you conquer the world."

"Whether you claim the throne first or sort out the south first, the result will be the same. It will not affect your unification of the whole world."

Su Qing was greatly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Xu Huaping to take over the entire south so quickly.

But on second thought, as she is the only extraordinary person in the world, this is only natural.

There are three reasons why Xu Huaping was able to quickly conquer the south:

First, she herself is very powerful, and she has dozens of extraordinary people and their families to help her.

According to folk rumors, she was a fairy from the Ninth Heaven who came down to earth just to overthrow the barbarian dynasty and rebuild the Han dynasty.

And those strange-looking followers, aren’t they just like the monsters and fairies in myths and legends?

How can a mortal fight against a god? Isn't that courting death?

Xu Huaping always leads the charge in every battle, shocking the entire audience with his powerful martial arts and magical fire abilities.

She was like cleaning up a battlefield, killing a large number of people at a time. Who the hell could resist this? Secondly, the ideas she spread were very popular among the lower-class people.

She wants to build a world of great harmony where everyone is equal, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has a house to live in, everyone has land to farm, and everyone has books to read.

How can this not make people happy and follow?

You must know that the power of the working people is infinite, and whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world.

Every time she attacked a place, the people there would come with food and drink to welcome the royal army.

However, the Qing government did its utmost to exploit and oppress the people.

Comparing the two, even a fool would know what to choose.

The last point is that Xu Huaping’s military discipline was strict, which was completely different from the Qing court’s military discipline.

Every time she occupied a place, she strictly ordered her subordinates not to harass the people.

Otherwise, you will be punished by military law and there will be no mercy.

At first, some people didn't believe it.

Are you kidding? We are the rebels.

If they don’t burn, kill, rob, and rape beautiful women, can they still be called an insurgent army?

But after Xu Huaping made an example of someone who violated the ban, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

With these three important reasons, Xu Huaping was invincible and occupied the south of the Yangtze River in just over half a month.

Although it is magical, it is very realistic.

only.

The common people loved her very much, but the landlords, wealthy merchants, officials and gentry hated her.

Some people may wonder why they, as Han Chinese, do not support Xu Huaping? It is because Xu Huaping, like the common people at the bottom, has no good feelings towards these vested interests.

Every time she occupied a place, she would arrest the local landlords, wealthy merchants, officials and gentry.

Then all the land, fields and properties were confiscated, leaving them only with a place to live and money to support their families.

Anyone who disobeys or refuses to cooperate will have their property confiscated and their entire family exterminated.

In this case, how could those people not hate her? After taking over the entire Jiangnan region, Xu Huaping planned to investigate the land and distribute the fields to the people.

The land was distributed according to population, with each person getting five mu of land, and everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, had a share.

Xu Huaping knew that the reason why the people welcomed her and liked her was because of the land she promised them.

You have to know that, to the Chinese people, land is their lifeline.

If she goes back on her word and becomes fat, the people will be disappointed in her.

Moreover, Xu Huaping knew that even though she had taken over the entire Jiangnan region, there were actually many people with evil intentions.

She wanted to clean up the entire South while checking the land and distributing it to the people.

In order to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country and resolve internal conflicts before we can aim our sword at the north and rule the world.

In short, the territory was too large and she ate too quickly, so she had some indigestion.

In Jinling, after listening to the suggestions of his subordinates, Xu Huaping said, "Since ancient times, there has never been a woman who established a throne and proclaimed herself emperor. Even Wu Zetian dropped the title of emperor and called herself the Great Saint Empress Zetian."

"You support a woman like me as king. Aren't you afraid of being accused of being a hen crowing at dawn?"

With the rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, the status of women continued to decline, reaching its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The rulers tried their best to promote the idea that women are virtuous even if they do not have any talent, and they did their best to suppress the status of women and make them vassals of men.

If Xu Huaping offered sacrifices to heaven and proclaimed himself king, it would surely cause an uproar throughout the world.

"You are the reincarnation of a celestial being, leading us to fight against the corrupt Qing dynasty. Now that we have taken over half of the country, it is imperative to establish a new dynasty."

A thin middle-aged man stood up, looked at Xu Huaping with respect, and said sincerely:

"If the name is not right, then the words will not flow. Only if you offer sacrifices to the heavens and claim the throne, can we rule the South with a legitimate reason."

"I believe that all the 70 million people in the South will return to their hearts and minds. I believe that you can lead us to a new world where everyone is equal and the world is united."

This was a down-and-out scholar from the south named Zhou Jingsheng.

After learning about Xu Huaping's ideas, he took the initiative to come and work for her.

Zhou Jingsheng had long seen through the darkness of the Qing court and its exploitation and oppression of the people.

He admired Xu Huaping's idea of ​​equality for all and was also amazed at her powerful military force.

If she can keep her original intention, she will surely bring happiness to millions of people in the world.

"Mr. Zhou is right. You are leading us to overthrow tyranny and seek the well-being of millions of people."

"We don't care whether you are a man or a woman, and the people of the world don't care either."

"Only if you offer sacrifices to heaven and claim the throne, and establish a new regime, can we be justified."

Others also echoed and spoke out in unison.

As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

Only if Xu Huaping becomes king can they become founding heroes and loyal ministers.

The achievement of following the dragon was right before their eyes, so who wouldn't be tempted? They naturally tried their best to persuade him.

"Forget it. I understand your suggestion. Let me think about it."

Xu Huaping rubbed his brows and waved his hand, saying, "You guys go down first. I'll give you an answer in two days."

She knew very well what everyone was thinking, but she didn't care much about the false title of queen.

It was only a matter of time before she became king or emperor, so how could she run away? She cared about the whole world and its people.

So, Xu Huaping thought about it and asked everyone to leave first, as she wanted to be quiet.

"yes."

Everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat.

Xu Huaping sat in his seat, concentrating on thinking.

Just at this moment, messages started to beep in the chat group.

She opened the group and saw that Brother Xie had hunted down another silver-level mutant beast.

'Why don't I ask everyone's opinion?'

Seeing this, Xu Huaping suddenly had an idea.

Soon, she saw Su Qing's answer.

Xu Huaping felt that he said something, but it seemed like he said nothing.

But she changed her mind and thought, yes, with my strength, it would not be difficult to conquer the world.

Why should I care about what others think?

"Thank you, little brother. I understand."

"Only children make choices. I want both."

"First become king and then clean up. We must do both at the same time."

"They want the merit of following the dragon, and I'll give it to them."

"But I want to clean up the South and divide up the land, and no one can stop me!"

Thinking of this, Xu Huaping said with high spirits.

Yes, why make a choice, why not implement both at the same time?

I was really confused and had reached a dead end.

The VIP channel was delayed for ten minutes and I was panicking, but luckily it finally came out.
