You come to be the emperor? The air in the imperial study seemed to have stopped flowing.
The two Jindan priests were stunned. They looked at Duger with puzzled eyes. Is it so outrageous that he brought a true immortal to force the emperor to usurp the throne? He is not a prince! Without dragon energy, he will not be blessed by luck even if he gets the throne!
"My lord, what did you say?" He Yanzhao, the emperor of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, raised his head and looked at Duger blankly, feeling like he was dreaming.
"You heard me right. I am here to serve as the emperor of Xinyue Kingdom by order of Emperor Nanyue." Du Ge showed the token of Emperor Nanyue and said, "He Yanzhao, you have failed to govern Xinyue Kingdom well, causing the people of Xinyue to be angry and the gods and humans to be angry. You should abdicate immediately and pass the throne to me."
Knowing the benefits of the dragon vein, Duger's initial plan was to seduce a certain prince, and with the help of the prince's power, he would seize the throne.
But later, by chance, he reached the Hedao realm step by step. His personal strength almost represented the ultimate in the mortal world. It would be putting the cart before the horse to integrate the army to seize the throne.
He Yanzhao finally understood what was going on. He looked at Du Ge coldly, stood up, and stopped being polite with him: "My Lord, are you sure this is an order from the Great Emperor Nanyue?"
"Of course." Doug remained calm.
"Is there any decree from Emperor Nanyue?" He Yanzhao snorted.
"No need for legal orders." Doug said.
"Haha." He Yanzhao looked at Du Ge and scolded, "How dare you, a thief, to cheat in the name of Emperor Nanyue. You probably don't know that the Emperor Nanyue governs the gods and ghosts, and I am appointed by heaven to govern the human dynasty. We have nothing to do with each other. In fact, my status is equal to that of the Emperor Nanyue. What right does he have to make me abdicate to you?"
"If you don't abdicate, then die!"
As soon as Duger stretched out his hand, the dark power grabbed He Yanzhao's neck and lifted him up.
He Yanzhao was originally fearless, but after being pinched by Doug, his face suddenly turned pale with horror. Then, he felt difficulty breathing, blood rushed to his head, and his face turned red in an instant.
He stretched out his hand to push away the dark power in his throat, but he was too weak to do so. He could only struggle continuously, and his breathing became increasingly difficult.
Seeing Du Ge strangling He Yanzhao, Xu Jinghui and Lou Zhen's faces suddenly changed and they subconsciously took a step back.
But they felt that their cultivation was not affected at all, and they were both stunned.
They were not the only ones who were stunned. The two Jindan monks who were trembling and afraid to move were also shocked when they saw Du Ge capturing the emperor from a distance. One of the monks said in disbelief, "How...how is this possible?"
"Let...let me go...spare my life!" He Yanzhao raised his hand with difficulty and squeezed out a few words from his throat.
Duger released the dark power.
Plop! The old emperor He Yanzhao fell to the ground. He covered his throat and coughed a few times before looking at Douge in horror: "You... why didn't the dragon vein bite you?"
yes!
Why weren't you attacked by the dragon vein? The two Jindan priests asked at the same time.
The human world has its own destiny, and destiny gives rise to dragon veins, which give birth to emperors. The emperor's rule over the human world is connected to the destiny of a country and is protected by the dragon veins. Although the monks are powerful, once they take action against the emperor, they will be backlashed by the destiny of the human world.
Karma, almost no god can bear the backlash of human destiny.
Under the backlash of luck, the cultivator who directly attacked the emperor, as well as the series of people behind him, will have problems with their cultivation...
This is a means for humans to protect themselves.
This is also the reason why Xu Jinghui and others hurriedly checked their own cultivation when Duger attacked He Yanzhao.
Because I don’t belong to this world!
Du Ge looked at He Yanzhao with a smile in his eyes: "Why didn't you suffer the backlash? He Yanzhao, how did Prince Duan die a few days ago? If Emperor Donghua hadn't found a way to restrain the backlash of the dragon vein, how could he have attacked you?"
Douge put the blame on Emperor Donghua for a huge crime.
"..." He Yanzhao was suddenly shocked. It turned out that Emperor Donghua was behind this. He was distraught. "Why? Emperor Donghua is so high up, why would he want to get involved in the human world?"
"Do you want to know?" Du Ge looked at He Yanzhao with a smile and said mischievously, "In life, it is rare to be confused. If you don't know anything, how can you be an idle prince? If you figure out everything, you can only be a ghost! Maybe you can't even be a ghost..."
The expressions of the two Jindan priests suddenly changed, and they secretly groaned, how could they be involved in the plans of these big shots without knowing why?
The other party was not even afraid of the backlash of the dragon veins. It would only take a flick of a finger to kill the two Jindan cultivators...
"..." The corners of He Yanzhao's mouth kept twitching. Facing Douger's gaze, he lowered his head, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant. With trembling lips, he said, "I abdicate."
"He who knows the current situation is a hero." Du Ge smiled and nodded, "Call all the civil and military officials. Two days later, the New Moon Kingdom will hold a ceremony of abdication. I will officially ascend the throne and take charge of the New Moon."
"Two days?" He Yanzhao was stunned. "My Lord, isn't this a bit hasty?"
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. One day to prepare and one day to ascend the throne. Two days is already too slow." Doug said, "Why, do you have any questions?"
"No problem." He Yanzhao said bitterly.
He never thought that one day he would lose the throne in this way.
But without the protection of the dragon vein, he was just an ordinary person. Facing such a cultivator who could easily threaten his life, he had no way to deal with it.
If he could delay the process a little longer, perhaps he could think of another solution.
But for two days, he couldn't even send a letter...
…
Abdication is a matter of great importance.
It's not something that can be accomplished by just two people handing over the imperial seal.
At Du Ge's request, He Yanzhao summoned all civil and military officials to the Golden Palace in advance and explained the matter of abdication to everyone.
For a moment, there was an uproar in the court.
Prime Minister Chi Muzhi stepped forward and angrily accused Du Ge: "This is simply ridiculous. Since ancient times, there has never been a cultivator interfering in politics. Emperor Donghua is doing this. Isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment?"
"What the Prime Minister said is very true. Monks have long lifespans. If a monk becomes regent, where will we mortals be placed? If this continues, how will the human world survive?" General Qiu Shiwang echoed.
"The immortals are the immortals, the ghosts are the ghosts, why does the Emperor Donghua want to get involved in the affairs of the human world?" The Minister of Rites stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, we should burn incense and pray to the gods, and let the Immortal Emperor do us justice?"
The throne room was noisy, just like a vegetable market, with civil and military officials arguing for their own interests.
If a monk can become an emperor, he can also be a civil or military official.
The long lifespan of the monks will block any mortal's chance of advancement.
If this continues, ordinary people will never have a chance to make a breakthrough.
No ordinary person wants to see this situation happen. Their rights and interests are seriously threatened. In order to safeguard their own interests, these officials are really fearless.
Some officials even threw the imperial scepters in their hands at Du Ge. They were much more courageous than the monks of Mount Longhu.
The monks from the worship hall, represented by the National Master, stood there woodenly, not daring to say a word. Not to mention that there were two True Immortals standing there, they did not dare to move.
The fact that a cultivator had touched the throne of the human emperor but did not suffer any backlash from his luck was enough to shatter their three views.
I'm afraid the world's pattern is really going to change.
I just don't know why Emperor Donghua wants to target the mortal world...
…
He had expected this to happen.
He wanted to see how the monk who came to seize his throne would deal with this situation? He couldn't just kill all the civil and military officials!
Governing a country is not a spiritual practice. If a country is managed by monks whose brains have been damaged by spiritual practice, the country can be torn apart in minutes.
He Yanzhao didn't know what Emperor Donghua was going to do, but he could probably guess that Emperor Donghua was going to use this to threaten the rule of the Immortal Emperor.
so.
He hoped that the incident would become as big as possible, and it would be best if it could alarm the Immortal Emperor and let him take action against Emperor Donghua.
…
Cough! Douger coughed. The sound was not loud, but it was accurately heard by every official in the court.
The court suddenly became quiet.
"Gentlemen, can I say a few words?" Doug said.
"Bah!" Prime Minister Chi Muzhi spat on the throne, "Who are you? What right do you have to control the entire court? I would rather die than be controlled by you."
"We would rather die than be controlled by monks." Behind the prime minister, civil and military officials became chaotic again.
Xu Jinghui frowned slightly. Faced with such a messy scene, he really didn't know how to deal with it. He was not Duger and could not bear the consequences of killing mortals indiscriminately.
"Prime Minister Chi, do you really think that the world should be governed by humans?" Doug was not angry. He looked at Chi Muzhi with a smile and asked.
"Of course, the Immortal Emperor governs the Heavenly Court, and the Emperor governs the human world. The division of labor is in order and has been like this since ancient times." Chi Mu said, "You, as cultivators, usurp the throne of the human world, which is a perverse act."
Chi Muzhi was quite prestigious in the court. When he spoke, the court suddenly became quiet.
"Son of Heaven?" Doug laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile. "What is Son of Heaven?"
"The power of kings is granted by God. The emperor governs the country according to the will of heaven, so he is called the emperor." Chi Muzhi responded sharply.
"You call yourself the Son of Heaven. What are you so proud of?" Doug chuckled and said, "Just now I heard someone say that they want to burn incense and pray to the heavens, asking the Immortal Emperor to do justice for you. Is this what you call the Immortal Emperor governing the heavens and the Son of Heaven governing the world?"
“…”
Chi Muzhi frowned. From Duger's words, he heard a strong sense of disrespect towards the Immortal Emperor. He couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that Emperor Donghua really had a rebellious heart and wanted to use the human world to compete with the Immortal Emperor?
This is not good news!
If we don't handle it properly, it will really cause great suffering to all people...
"The Immortal Emperor is the master of the three realms. What's wrong with the emperor calling himself the Son of Heaven?" Chi Muzhi said, "As a cultivator, you are disrespectful to the Immortal Emperor. Aren't you afraid of heaven's punishment?"
Xu Jinghui and others were already sweating profusely. They realized that the Seed Plan was aimed at the Immortal Emperor, but they did not expect that Duger would blatantly disrespect the Immortal Emperor in public. This was almost a matter of life and death for them.
Could it be that the person behind the seed plan was Emperor Donghua? But if it was Emperor Donghua, shouldn't Duger have approached Emperor Nanyue and asked him for an introduction?
so.
There was someone else behind the Seed Plan, and Emperor Donghua was probably taking the blame. In other words, they had offended both Emperor Donghua and the Immortal Emperor...
Xu Jinghui felt dizzy and could hardly stand. For the first time, he regretted agreeing to join Doug's seed plan. If he continued, he was afraid that he would not enjoy any benefits and would be crushed to ashes.
If I had known this would happen, I would have died in Longhu Mountain and left my body intact!
What kind of seed is this? He is simply a lunatic! The Imperial Master and other cultivators were in a state of mourning. If there was a crack in the ground, they would have jumped in. Since it involved the Immortal Emperor, they dared not interrupt in such a topic! ...
The personal panel in front of Doug kept expanding. After he started the Human Emperor Plan, his mental power had never stopped growing.
Obviously.
His behavior of walking on the edge of a knife has aroused the interest of the audience of Pan-Universe Entertainment, which is a good thing. At least the alien battlefield will not be suspended for the time being.
“Prime Minister Chi, you know that in ancient times, there has never been a concept of Son of Heaven. The emperors in the world called themselves the Emperor of Man.” Du Ge directly skipped the question of whether to respect the Immortal Emperor or not, and said lightly.
"Human Emperor?" Chi Muzhi was stunned.
Even the old emperor He Yanzhao behind him was stunned.
"Yes, the Human Emperor." Du Ge looked forward, his eyes full of leisure and yearning, "The Human Emperor represents the human race, and is equal to all sacred things. He is the master of the human world, the real leader and protector of the human world. Even if he meets the Immortal Emperor, there is no need to perform formalities. At most, he can call him Brother Dao."
As soon as these words came out.
It was so quiet in the Golden Palace that you could hear a pin drop.
He Yanzhao was dumbfounded. In his heart, he was actually yearning for the position of Human Emperor, to be on equal footing with the Immortal Emperor. This was the pinnacle of power!
Below the stage, the crown prince who was supposed to inherit the throne pursed his lips, too dazed to speak a word.
"What is the Son of Heaven? Is he appointed by Heaven?" Du Ge snorted disdainfully. "In the final analysis, he is just a subordinate of the Immortal Emperor. Look at the human world today. There are mountain gods and land gods everywhere, and every city has a city god temple. Who do they obey? Do they really obey you, the puppet emperor?
Can you, the so-called emperor, really rule the country? No.
You can't, you are just a puppet, you can't even be your own master. Once you encounter danger, you can only rely on the protection of the dragon veins and the almighty Immortal Emperor, and pray that he can bring you safety.
He Yanzhao, let me ask you, if the demons come to attack, can you, as the emperor, really stop them?"
The corner of He Yanzhao's mouth twitched. He wanted to say that the demon tribe was being held out by Emperor Donghua, but he couldn't say it because Emperor Donghua was still the God of the Immortal Realm...
"That's right, you can't stop it." Du Ge said, "Because you don't have the ability. You, the so-called emperor, are just trapped in this land like a child, playing house under the protection of the fairy court! The so-called demon tribe has already been dealt with by your father in heaven."
"It's easy to say. The emperor can't practice cultivation." An imperial censor saw the emperor being humiliated and retorted unconvincedly.
"Then have you ever thought about why you can't practice?" Doug glanced at him and asked sternly.
"..." The Imperial Censor was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
"That's right. The path to cultivation in this world has been cut off." Du Ge took a deep breath. "In ancient times, the emperor not only had the protection of the dragon veins, but he could also cultivate. Not only the emperor could cultivate, but all civil and military officials could cultivate.
"A civil official has a literary mind, and a word he speaks can drive away demons and gods, and a writing as powerful as a dragon can bring peace to the world; a military general has a martial courage, and a punch he throws can break a river, move mountains, and determine the fate of the world."
Gulp!
There was a sound of swallowing saliva in the court. It was obvious that all the civil and military officials were shocked by the scene described by Doug, and some even yearned for it.
"But look at you now, apart from arguing and spitting at each other in the court, what else can you do?" Du Ge looked around at the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace and questioned.
"Why is this happening?" Chi Muzhi asked.
"You should ask the Immortal Emperor you all claim to respect about this." Du Ge chuckled, "If he hadn't wanted to monopolize power, framed the Human Emperor, and forcibly cut off the path of cultivation in the human world, how could the human race have declined to this point? But you idiots still treat him as your father, and you want to be open-hearted to him..."
He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Everyone, now that Emperor Donghua has found the inheritance of the ancient human emperor, he intends to re-establish the way of the human emperor in the world, so he uses the New Moon Country as a pilot. Now that you are clear about the cause and effect, I ask you again, are you really unwilling to fight for yourself and for the human race?"
