Chapter 540: Chapter 143: I Walked on Thin Ice All My Life (Additional Update, Requesting Monthly Pass)
“Damn, this just got tough, didn’t it? It’s like switching from AI mode straight to Hell mode~”
Xu Shu touched his chin, sowhat at a loss for words.
But then he thought about it and felt it was actually good that the difficulty was higher.
Only with high difficulty are there opportunities to make moves, and this ti he wanted to grab an epic reward.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of two purple life grids?
“Heh, this struggle for the imperial throne, am I supposed to take on nine by myself to laugh last?”
“From the intel we have, we already know of four enemies, including three rebel armies, Liu Ji, Xiang Ji, and the Taiping Army, as well as a frontier general, An Lushan…”
“So, there are still five who haven’t shown up? Seems like I’d get a better evaluation only if I manage to survive under the assault of these nine opposing ‘Emperors’ and fight to the last.”
“However, sothing seems off here. This world clearly has extraordinary power, likely the pathway of martial artists, so why didn’t they mark it out for this ti? They didn’t specify the pathway or the rank, and I can’t even clearly sense the power within ; I can only use it, not research it…”
“This is very different from my legendary experiences in the past.”
Once bitten, twice shy, this ti, Xu Shu no longer underestimated the Tai Chu Scroll, nor did he think it might be a mistake, but rather he began to think in other directions.
Perhaps there is so sort of secret?
Xu Shu, with a profound gaze, looked at his “Heaven’s Chosen Son” and “Six Dragons returning to the Sun”, and broke into a smile.
“You, from a few hints, just figured out the essence of your destiny, as an unparalleled Emperor facing the unprecedented challenge of nine enemies with the aura of an Emperor. Truly worthy of your astonishing wisdom!”
“Is that really the case?”
“Being the Emperor, confident and composed, you forgave this shortsighted but influential retired pri minister of two dynasties and casually asked, ‘Who is currently quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan?'”
“Right Guard General Yuwen Huaji and Left Guard General Yuwen Chongqing, both have made nurous military achievents and are highly esteed,” the other replied.
“Wow, just hearing their nas, I can tell they’re a pair of tough nuts to crack, but why do the nas sound so effeminate?”
“Your Majesty, the two generals from the Yuwen family are fearless won, actually sisters! However, it’s rumored in the streets that General Hua Ji once disguised herself as a man when accompanying the previous Emperor on campaigns, so her son Yuwen Chongqing might… Ah, I’m speaking out of line, these rumors should not be taken seriously,” the learned Pri Minister was indeed skilled at adding fuel to the fire.
“Really?” Your expression darkened, it seems you might have identified another ‘Dragon of Seizing the Emperor’, and now you’ve got control of five dragons.
With keen insight, knowing that you didn’t favor the mother and son of the Yuwen family, he quickly suggested, “Your Majesty, I think General Yuwen’s actions are reckless, boastful, and claim loyalty, as the old saying goes, they often preach what they lack the most, probably harboring ulterior motives, why not issue twelve golden edicts to recall him to the palace to make an example of him?”
You paused, glancing at the Pri Minister and asked him, “Not a bad idea, quite clever of you, what’s your na?”
“Servant trembles with fear, my na is Qin Kuai.”
“So it’s you, no wonder, no wonder.” Your eyes shifted, feeling this old fellow might also be a lurking dragon, you’d prefer to kill him sooner rather than later.
The next day, it was rumored that the Pri Minister Qin Kuai had offended Emperor Wu by stepping into the palace with his left foot first, thus he retired and went back to his hotown, where he accidentally fell down a well and died on the way.
Of course, that was your doing, you might have been like a deaf official these years, but you nurtured a group of Death Soldiers with high martial skills, proficient in assassination, very professional about it.
Disaster worsened in the south, many ministers advised that the Emperor hold a ritual to pray for blessings to protect the people, but you decisively refused, “What good would praying do?” However, the Qintian Bureau inford you, since the foundation of Daqian, the Emperor’s dragon aura could change the climate, a historical fact.
“Really?” You had no other ideas at the mont, but thinking you were the “Heaven’s Chosen Son”, maybe Heaven really would grant you so grace, so you let the Qintian Bureau arrange a rain prayer ritual in front of the palace.
True to being the “Heaven’s Chosen Son”, the instant you prayed for rain, a nonstop heavy downpour ensued.
In a daze, you seed to see a five-clawed Divine Dragon sweeping through the clouds, directing the rain, but blinking, it seed not to exist.
“Eh? Could it be that this world actually has gods and spirits?” You couldn’t help but speculate.
The rain ca, naturally you stopped the ritual, but the rain didn’t stop.
The rain continued, with people all around cursing, from drought to flood wasn’t any better, was it?
The disaster of flood, worse than a fierce tiger, increased the mortality rate of the people by 20%.
Seeing this, you had to perform another ritual, this ti to stop the rain.
The rain stopped as scheduled.
Three years of severe drought.
“Shit!”
Are you ssing with ?
Xu Shu was so angry he almost smashed his phone.
What kind of nonsense is this, praying for rain that causes floods, millions die, stop praying and it’s drought, people still dying?
Daqian has quite a lot of people, huh, they still didn’t run out, and still had the strength to start uprisings, so I’m still “favored by Heaven”?
Heaven surely wants gone, right!
Fuck it, whoever likes playing this ga can go play, I’m done!
This thought had just flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, the world in front of him froze and a line of text popped up: [Do you want to end this legend now? Yes/No]
