Emperor Zhou sighed deeply, "I don't know if the human race can hold out until that day. My brother, to this day I still firmly believe that the Celestial Race is our only hope against the Demon Race. I also know that you want to take another path, but with my current ability, I can no longer control the world's submission. Are you...really sure?"
Ji Dong spread out his spiritual sense, but found no signs of the patterns bestowed by the Celestials being activated.
The coldness in his eyes finally disappeared, and he smiled calmly, "Whether I am sure or not, I will try. These are not things that my brother should worry about."
"All right……"
The Zhou Emperor resigned himself to his fate and said, "In this case, please swear an oath with the heart of a saint. Only then will I be assured of handing over the throne to you during the Nine Provinces Festival!"
Ji Dong smiled calmly and swore an oath with the heart of a saint.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Emperor Zhou waved his hand and directly dispelled the light and shadow of the communication talisman.
There was a hint of bitterness in Ji Dong's smile.
He has made many vows with this saintly heart.
There have been no violations so far.
But looking at the current situation, it is destined to be violated once.
The throne of the emperor was destined to be given to the Gan Kingdom, not to the descendants of the Zhou emperor.
I am destined to have my sacred heart destroyed.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as one can succeed on the path to becoming a saint, what does it matter if one’s saintly heart collapses?
If one hears the truth in the morning, one is willing to die in the evening, let alone if one has attained the truth oneself?
Once Gan Guo has laid all the groundwork for reform, you can go there yourself.
As for the Zhou Emperor.
It should be worth believing.
This choice best suits his current interests. The only risk he requires is to believe that he can really resist the attacks of the demon clan without relying on the celestial clan.
Done!
…
Chu State.
God's Mansion.
"Abdicate the throne of the emperor?"
"Abdicate the throne of the emperor?"
Ying Wuji and Mi Xingli were both stunned for a moment; the news came too suddenly.
Mi Xingli's chicken legs fell to the ground when she heard this.
Abdicate the throne of the emperor.
No matter who the throne was passed to, it would never be passed to the State of Chu.
So to whom.
Jidong?
Han Zhe?
Wei Huan?
Or just do it?
After much thought, it seems that Ji Dong is the most likely candidate, but there is also a slight possibility that he was afraid of being attacked by the two countries of Gan and Qi.
But no matter who the abdication is given to, it is not a good phenomenon.
After Haojing was destroyed a thousand years ago, the Zhou emperor gradually became a symbol. After the great war against demons, he completely became a mascot. Especially when the formation masters of various countries went together to investigate the Zhuanxu seal lost by Yan State, there were many clues. Although the evidence was insufficient, many people had suspected that it was related to the Zhou emperor, but they just hadn't exposed it yet.
But even so.
The Zhou emperor was still the nominal ruler of the world.
There may not be many people who obey his orders, but there are definitely many people who want to cause trouble in the name of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians."
For example, the State of Qi once used this name to destroy many small countries, and the State of Chu also swept across the entire south by relying on the title of viscount bestowed by the Zhou emperor.
If the throne of the emperor really falls into the hands of a powerful person with the surname Ji, it will inevitably have an extremely adverse impact.
Especially Jidong.
This seeded player.
The greatest threat.
Mi Xingli's face was a little heavy: "Brother Ying! We can't just sit back and watch this matter!"
Although there have been open and covert struggles within the Chu State in the past two years, overall, it has been smooth sailing.
Now the forces opposing the reform had been basically disintegrated, and many of the elite young people of the three families of Qu Jingzhao entered the academy and accepted the new bureaucratic system of the Chu State. After the land reform, the private fields also stimulated great vitality.
Today's Chu State is known as the Little Li State.
Mi Xingli is confident that he can turn the State of Li into a small State of Chu in the future.
But I didn't expect that Ji Dong's side was smoother than mine.
Although the attack of Gan State on Han reached a stalemate, no one expected that the incompetent Emperor Zhou would kneel so quickly.
The State of Chu had just tasted some of the benefits of its reforms, but now it had to face such a behemoth. The pressure was indeed quite great.
"Of course we have to stop it!"
Ying Wuji nodded, looking at her slightly anxious expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry so much, we are not the only ones who don't want to see this scene. Qi Chuli, who wants the Ji family to become bigger?"
“That’s true…”
The gloom on Mi Xingli's face eased a little: "I'm afraid it won't be enough to rely on Qi Chuli alone. The key to the problem... is still that hottie Ying Wuque!"
That's true.
Although the individual performance of the Ji countries is slightly weaker now, they include the five countries of Yan, Wei, Han, Wu and Yan, and also have the ultimate military force such as the Black Armor Legion.
If we tie up another country, even if Qi, Chu and Li form an alliance, it might be a bit difficult.
certainly.
Ying Wuji was not worried that they were too strong to defeat, because this alliance should be quite loose in the early stage of its establishment, especially since Yan, Wei and Han had almost completed their respective reforms. If they changed their ways and used Ji Dong's tactics halfway, there would definitely be a lot of internal friction, including for the State of Gan.
The cohesion of this alliance is inherently flawed.
It can even be said that this is the way to cause chaos.
Ji Dong's confidence in his path to becoming a saint has reached an insane level, and he doesn't feel that this forced melon may very likely collapse from within.
But the unpleasant thing is that the Celestials had given them a price before, that is, if they destroyed a country, they would be given thousands or even tens of thousands of people's resources.
This kind of resource can greatly improve a person's cultivation. He has tasted the sweetness of it and is really unwilling to face this kind of enhanced army on the battlefield.
