Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It had been five years since the Kaisheng Era. After the New Year Festival, all sorts of rumors had surfaced everywhere in Great Jing.
The Emperor was saved by Longqi Temple, and the Emperor begged the Dao Ancestor to ascend the throne!
The Dao Ancestor of Great Jing and Taizong were not only master and disciple, but they were also father and son!
The Dao Ancestor should have been the first emperor of Great Jing, but he was suppressed by the Mahayana Dragon Tower!
All kinds of rumors came in endless streams and shocked Great Jing.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, just listening to it was shocking. How could they dare to make it up?
The suffering citizens were also attracted by the rumors. The Dao Ancestor had not appeared for dozens of years. When Great Jing was in chaos, some blamed the Dao Ancestor for not taking action. However, as time passed, they could no longer care about blaming the Dao Ancestor. They only wanted to live. Now that they heard such rumors, hope ignited in their hearts.
If the Dao Ancestor was really the biological father of Taizong, if the Dao Ancestor listened to the Emperor’s pleas and was willing to ascend the throne, it would definitely end the chaotic times!
In less than half a month, everywhere in Great Jing, wherever there were people or not, these rumors could be heard there.
All the vassal kings were shocked, and all the commoners yearned for such a future.
Northern Frontier Palace.
The King of the Northern Frontier sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression.
The entire table was filled with his valiant generals, strategists, and children. At that moment, they were all discussing the rumors.
“These rumors are spreading too fast. There must be some force pushing everything!”
“That’s too much. How can the Dao Ancestor be the first crown prince of Great Jing?”
“If the Dao Ancestor was replaced at birth, how could he not take revenge?”
“Someone wants to borrow the power of the Dao Ancestor. Which vassal king did it? It must not be someone with a different surname. It’s not beneficial for them to do so. It will only damage their morale.”
Listening to his subordinates’ discussion, the King of the Northern Frontier was in a mess.
He knew the truth. It was not a rumor, but the truth!
Just because he knew that it was true, he panicked. He did not know if the Dao Ancestor really wanted to ascend the throne.
Ever since he was warned by the Dao Ancestor, he did not dare to have any thoughts of rebellion. Even if Great Jing was in chaos, he did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he lived in peace and waited for the situation to change. True, he naturally had a trace of ambition for the position of emperor. However, he had to wait for Great jing to force him to ascend the throne. In that case, the Dao Ancestor should not make things difficult for him.
However, he did not expect that there would be news of the Emperor requesting the Dao Ancestor to ascend the throne!
“Father, what do you think?”
A young man in silver armor spoke and shifted everyone’s attention to the King of the Northern Frontier.
They noticed that the King of the Northern Frontier had an ugly expression on his face. If the rumors were false, he could have just laughed it off or been furious. Why did he have such an expression?
Could it be…
They thought of a possibility and their hearts pounded wildly.
The King of the Northern Frontier slowly raised his head and said, “I will make a trip to Longqi Temple. Before that, you are not allowed to act on your own accord.”
There was a trace of fatigue in his voice, which made everyone’s hearts even heavier.
The King of the Northern Frontier did not deny that the rumors were false!
Above the sea of clouds, Jiang Changsheng and Mu Lingluo stood side by side.
“I will build the Nine Levels of Heaven here and establish the Heavenly Court. From now on, if someone achieves great merit, they can become immortal gods. The reason why I want to be the Emperor is to guide them and connect the Heavenly Court and Great Jing’s luck.”
“I will pave the way for our son to take over Great Jing and become the emperor. When his merits are fulfilled and he ascends to the Heavenly Court, he will succeed as the Heavenly Emperor and rule over the immortal gods.”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly and casually, but Mu Lingluo looked forward to it.
The two of them had yet to get married, but they were already talking about their son. Mu Lingluo’s heart was filled with sweetness. She seemed to have a cold personality on the surface, but she would also fantasize when she was training. In the past, she thought it was impossible, but she did not expect such an opportunity to come.
Mu Lingluo curiously asked, “If I become an immortal, can my lifespan increase?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “I have my ways to increase the lifespan of immortal gods.”
Mu Lingluo bit her lips and said, “I have something to ask you…
Jiang Changsheng turned to look at her and said, “You are Hua Jianxin, and Hua Jianxin is you. You don’t have to care about this identity because if you reincarnate in the future, I will continue to look for you.”
Hearing this answer, Mu Lingluo was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter.
Mu Lingluo smiled and said, “In fact, I’ve already guessed it, and I don’t mind it. On the contrary, I’m very touched. The reason why the Mu Family and I are where we are today is because I already had my guess when I heard the name Jiang Ziyu.”
“Brother Changsheng, no, Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?”
Jiang Changsheng curled his lips. He raised his right hand and waved his sleeve towards the horizon.
A storm was brewing!
Mu Lingluo seemed to have sensed something and her pretty face changed drastically. She asked in shock, “Great Jing’s luck… has dissipated?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Yes, it’s time to change the luck to a newer version.”
Mu Lingluo did not think about the newer version of luck. Instead, she was thinking about how powerful Jiang Changsheng was.
What kind of strength was that?
She could not imagine it, but she was shocked.
She also had the heart to pursue strength!
The luck of Great Jing dissipated, and the chaos in Great Jing became even more intense.
The vassal kings were in an uproar as they did not understand what had happened.
Within the main hall of Xuanting City.
Zhu Tianjia hovered in front of the dragon throne with an anxious expression.
The black-robed man, Daoist Master Qingxu, and Xu Mang stood in the hall with ugly expressions.
The black-robed man, who had always been a strategist, was also confused. He did not know what had happened.
Even though Great Jing had been in internal strife for so many years, the luck of the dynasty was still strong. The Qiangliang Race had yet to attack, so how could the luck of the dynasty collapse?
At that moment, a strong gust of wind whistled into the hall and the Mansion Master of the Dragon Transformation Mansion, Zhu Tianzhi, appeared.
“Are you the ones behind the change in Great Jing’s luck?”
Zhu Tianzhi said in a deep voice as his powerful aura exploded. Zhu Tianjia was so frightened that he collapsed on the dragon throne. Daoist Master Qingxu and Xu Mang quickly retreated while the black-robed man remained motionless.
Zhu Tianzhi glanced at Zhu Tianjia and locked his gaze on the black-robed man.
The black-robed man’s half-mask made him look unfathomable, making it impossible to see his expression.
“It has nothing to do with us. We only want control over the government. If we wanted to harm the luck of the dynasty, why would we control the Emperor? In my opinion, it’s very likely that something has happened to the Emperor, and he’s at Longqi Temple…”
The black-robed man spoke. He did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious.
Zhu Tianzhi frowned.
The atmosphere became tense.
Zhu Tianzhi’s mind was in a mess. He did not know that Zhu Kuangji was fighting for the throne of Great Jing. Later on, Zhu Kuangji was killed by Jiang Xuannian. Then, Zhu Tianjia inherited his ambition and fell deeper and deeper, causing the Dragon Transformation Mansion to fall into a trap.
In fact, Zhu Tianzhi had also guessed that the change in Great Jing’s luck was related to the Dao Ancestor. That was why he was flustered.
Just like everyone else in Great Jing, he guessed that the Dao Ancestor did not want to care about Great Jing anymore. However, if the Dao Ancestor destroyed the luck of Great Jing, the meaning would be different.
This meant that the Dao Ancestor was dissatisfied!
If he were dissatisfied, something big would happen!
The more Zhu Tianzhi thought about it, the more confused he felt. Cold sweat overflowed from his forehead.
The black-robed man spoke again. “Even if it has something to do with the Dao Ancestor, it might not be his doing. The luck of Great Jing was dispersed at once. This is not damage that can be caused by force. Something major might have happened…”
“Wrong. I did it.”
An indifferent voice sounded, startling everyone into turning around.
Zhu Tianjia revealed a look of horror because a hand was pressing on his shoulder. An unimaginable force was pressing down on him. Not only could he not move his body, but even his true qi had frozen.
He glanced over with his peripheral vision and saw a straight figure with the sun shining behind his head in his vision.
It was Jiang Changsheng!
The Ultimate Yang Divine Light covered his upper body, making him look like an immortal god that had descended to the mortal world, bringing pressure to everyone.
Plop!
Zhu Tianzhi immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, “Greetings… Dao Ancestor…”
The Dao Ancestor!
Daoist Master Qingxu and Xu Mang’s expressions changed drastically as they became nervous.
In Great Jing, who had not heard of the Dao Ancestor?
“Why are you panicking? Do you think you’ve done something wrong?”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded. It was extremely indifferent, giving Zhu Tianzhi boundless pressure.
Zhu Tianzhi trembled and said in fear, “I was wrong… I shouldn’t have allowed my children to cause chaos…”
Seeing him so humble, Zhu Tianjia felt even more despair and his lips turned pale.
The black-robed man, Daoist Master Qingxu, and Xu Mang did not dare to speak.
Jiang Changsheng raised his right hand and patted Zhu Tianjia’s shoulder again. In an instant, Zhu Tianjia turned into dust.
This scene frightened the black-robed man and the others so much that they immediately fled. As a result, they were blocked by an invisible force in front of the door.
Zhu Tianzhi looked up and saw Zhu Tianjia’s ashes dancing in the air. He lowered his head in pain, not daring to complain.
“Come out.”
Jiang Changsheng spoke again. As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow emerged from the ground.
The black shadow looked at Jiang Changsheng in horror and asked in a trembling voice, “You… how did you do it?”
He was lurking underground and was forcefully pulled out by an invisible force. He had wandered in the Great Wilderness for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered such a force. He felt terrified.
“You think that you have devised a smart strategy and have the fate of the dynasty in your hands. Do you think the situation is still in your hands?”
Jiang Changsheng asked softly, but his words were like sharp blades that pierced everyone’s hearts.
The black-robed man slowly said, “Dao Ancestor, why did you dispel the luck of Great Jing? Now that rumors are spreading everywhere, are you serious about wanting to be the Emperor?”
“If it’s true, what should you do?”
Jiang Changsheng stared at the black-robed man, his tone still indifferent.
The black-robed man smiled and said, “The Dao Ancestor is omnipotent. We are naturally willing to submit. If the Dao Ancestor had long wanted to ascend the throne, why would we have schemed for this?”
Daoist Master Qingxu also revealed a smile, but it was a forced one.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “Oh? In order to obtain the throne, you even contacted other races? Let me think, they are called the Tiansu Race, right?”
As soon as he said that, the black-robed man’s expression changed.
The black shadow was also frightened. He hurriedly said, “Since you know that I am from the Tiansu Race, let me go. I will not come again.”
Jiang Changsheng ignored him and said, “With the exception of that kid named Xu Mang, all of you will have to die. Take action and let me see if you have the ability to covet Great Jing.”
A look of pleasant surprise flashed past Xu Mang’s eyes when he heard that, and he immediately moved away, revealing the black-robed man and Daoist Master Qingxu.
The black-robed man snorted and said, “Trash is trash. As expected, it still failed. In that case, let me experience the power of the Dao Ancestor. Dying in the hands of the Dao Ancestor is one of the outcomes I had expected.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Jiang Changsheng, turning into afterimages. His speed was extremely fast, and almost instantly, he arrived in front of Jiang Changsheng. He raised his right palm that was surrounded by mysterious black energy, wanting to slap Jiang
Changsheng.
Boom!
The black-robed man was suddenly pressed down on the dragon steps. His muscles and bones were broken, crushing the dragon steps and causing blood to splatter all over the hall. From the beginning to the end, Jiang Changsheng did not move..
