Chapter 156 The intersection of two eras

"Luckily you turned the corner..."

Seeing Jiao Ming decisively pull back from the brink and give up the idea of ​​continuing to fight against the tide of the times alone, Zhao Si couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What I'm afraid of is that he will be stubborn and follow the example of Lao Bing II to start a butchery business and end up on the path to death...

Fortunately, Jiao Ming has died many times and has fallen into almost all the traps he has fallen into. Although he is still relatively more opinionated than Jin Bing, he is no longer a fool.

As soon as I saw that the momentum was not right, I immediately began to reflect on my own problems and finally came to the conclusion:
As an old man from the ancient times, my thoughts are obviously out of date...

After all, the times are moving forward. Jiao Ming's "small country with few people" and "anarchism" must give way to a truly unified regime, otherwise it will harm others and oneself.

But he couldn't let go and trust others, always fearing that people would die in the war. Even if it wasn't because of the Third Ancestor's deliberate sacrifice, Jiao Ming didn't want to see too many casualties in the war.

And he himself has no ability to govern, so it is impossible for him to be a ruler. If he forces himself to be one, he will only repeat the mistakes of the second reincarnation...

So he changed his mind and decided to find someone he could trust.

Thus, Jiao Ming appointed Di Jun to conquer the wild world.

"After all the picking and choosing, the throne of Heavenly Emperor unexpectedly fell on Di Jun..."

Zhao Si was somewhat curious about Di Jun's ascension to the throne:
The ancient world line has almost been turned into a mess by Jiao Ming, and it is very different from the original plot, but why did Di Jun still become the Emperor of Heaven?
Could it be that... there really is some historical script?

"Probably not..."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Si ruled out the so-called "world line convergence" theory, because there has never been any "destiny" in this version of the game.

If everything was really predetermined, then Jin Bing would not have been able to reverse the outcome of the demon's contradictions so many times.

In Lao Bing's hands, the human race can be functionally extinct, the great calamity of the lich and wizard can be prevented from happening, and the Conferred Gods and Journey to the West can all be eliminated in advance. Talking about the "plot conclusion" with Emperor Jin Tian is somewhat of a cold joke...

The same goes for Jiao Ming. The most drastic change he made to the plot was that he even sent Hongjun, the future Taoist ancestor, away in advance!
All of these examples prove a basic fact, that is, there is no predetermined plot in this version of Honghuang. If you think there is, it must be because your micro-manipulation level and strength are not up to standard...

When it comes to cooking, just practice more.

"Since there is no such thing as destiny, then it can only be determined by personal ability."

The reason why Di Jun in the original plot was able to become the Emperor of Heaven, apart from the legitimacy of Hongjun's appointment, was actually because he was not only good at fighting, but also had power and political talent and ability!

In this life, several of Di Jun's hard indicators have not changed at all. Under the careful guidance of Jiao Ming, Hongjun and Zu Feng, the three top masters of the prehistoric world, he even became a Daluo Jinxian earlier than in the original plot. His sister and brother Xihe and Taiyi are also Daluo.

As for the starting team, there were also eight hundred second-generation phoenixes assigned to him directly by Zufeng to support him, and the best one, Zhuque, was also at the Daluo level.

As for orthodoxy and legitimacy, Jiao Ming, the de facto ultimate boss of the prehistoric world, personally appointed them, and Di Jun also gave them the full approval on the spot!
More importantly, the average strength of the prehistoric world is extremely low. There are not even a few Daluo. The various separatist regimes are small and weak, and are simply ridiculously weak...

With such top-level configuration and excellent matching mechanism, if Di Jun still cannot become the Emperor of Heaven, then it can only be said that he just needs more practice!

After explaining his doubts, Zhao Si was no longer surprised by Di Jun's achievements. Instead, he looked at the final war of unification launched by the Heavenly Court against the Dragon Clan:

"Without Zulong, the Dragon Clan can only have the four Qinglong brothers who can barely reach the Daluo realm in a short period of time. And in the Heavenly Court, there are exactly four Daluo with the three siblings of Dijun and Suzaku."

"Four on four, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy..."

……

【Four vs four, it's really hard to fight.】

[So, before the battle started, Di Jun hurried back to Yujing Mountain and respectfully asked his adoptive father Jiao Ming for help.]

[If I can't win, I'll ask for help! ]

[Emperor Jun: I have a foster father, you don’t, this is the reason why you are so willful! ]

【Qinglong: @#*@*! 】

[Faced with your adopted son's invitation, you readily agreed without hesitation, and the strength advantage of the Heavenly Court camp increased rapidly! ]

[You were originally a Daluo Jinxian in the early years. Up to now, you have already cultivated to the peak of Daluo. You can truly fight three alone. Add to that the three siblings of Di Jun and Zhu Que, four standard Daluo Jinxians. Although there are only five Daluo in total, your actual combat power is equivalent to seven.]

[As for the Dragon Clan, only the four Qinglong brothers barely made it to the Daluo level. The difference in strength between the two sides is extremely obvious...]

[Under normal circumstances, facing this kind of power gap, Qinglong should surrender directly to avoid unnecessary casualties.]

[But the fact is that all the dragons in the four seas, whether they are orthodox true dragons or second-generation dragons, have clearly stated that they will never surrender, and will fight the Heavenly Court even if it means death! ]

[The dragon clan is extremely resolute in its will to resist. Anyone who shows signs of surrender will be killed immediately by Qinglong. He will also painfully tell his fellow clan members about how you killed the innocent ancestor dragon and the perverse actions you have taken against dragon kings in various places over the years.]

[Tyrannical! Unjust! This is your true face, Jiao Ming! ]

[Qinglong threatened the other dragons: If they surrender, the ordinary dragons will become slaves of the Heavenly Court, and the higher-ranking dragons will be implicated and wiped out by the evil god Jiao Ming...]

[In short, under its hate propaganda, the originally wavering Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has now completely united and is determined to fight to the death with the Heavenly Court! ]

[All the seeds of hatred you have ever planted finally took root and sprouted in the soil of the same hatred, and produced a bitter fruit, and you must swallow this bitter fruit...]

East Desert, seaside.

Looking at the familiar expanse of blue water and smelling the salty sea breeze, Jiao Ming's eyes gradually began to reflect on the past:
The blue dragon lies dead, blood suffuses the wind...

He looked vicissitudes of life, and sighed:
When people get old, they can’t help but think back to the past.

Yes, he is old.

Whether in terms of thought or mentality, Jiao Ming has clearly fallen behind the times. After repeated lessons learned, the free little bird of that year has long since become a stubborn old bird.

This seems to be a kind of growth, but also seems to be a kind of destruction:
After striving hard for world peace for three lifetimes, I discovered in the end that I was the biggest stumbling block preventing the world from entering a peaceful and prosperous era!

People from the old era always feel confused and at a loss when the new era comes.

The older people get, the more they can't help but question their lives:
Is his sudden appearance a good thing or a bad thing for all the spirits in the prehistoric world?

"Arjun."

Jiao Ming seemed to be talking to himself:
"Am I old and useless..." "Foster father is at the peak of the Daluo realm, how can he be old!"

Di Jun, who was standing beside him, felt his heart tremble when he heard his adoptive father start to say such words, and he shook his head quickly and said:
"Don't say that!"

After thinking about it, Di Jun's eyes turned and he felt that he should say something to make his adoptive father happy:

"Foster father, when I unify the world, I will hold a grand wedding for you and the clan leader, and make you glorious!"

"You are a young man who has not yet married. You should be happy!"

Jiao Ming couldn't help but look up at the boy and sighed helplessly:

"Don't talk nonsense. She never said she wanted to marry me... If she hears you saying this, you will be in trouble!"

Emperor Jun: ...

Di Jun suddenly felt like laughing:

My adoptive father always tells me that he is old, but why is he so childish when it comes to feelings?

With the clan leader's usual attitude, how could he not like you? !

She won't say it, so can't you say it?

As long as you dare to ask, godfather, the clan leader will dare to agree. If you had said it earlier, you might have laid a lot of eggs...

Di Jun really couldn't hold back with his adoptive father's various magical operations and magical thoughts!

But then again, it was precisely because of his godfather's breathtaking actions that the younger generation like him had a place to show their talents.

If my adoptive father really could do everything, why would I be considered the Emperor of Ghosts?

Emperor Jun secretly rejoiced:

Although the carefree life of cultivating immortals on Yujing Mountain is also great, the position of Heavenly Emperor is obviously more open and free for me...

At this time, Di Jun was wearing a majestic green dragon robe, which symbolized his current supreme power.

As for why it is a green dragon robe?

Well...actually, according to Di Jun's aesthetic taste, he prefers to embroider bird-shaped patterns such as "Golden Crow", "Phoenix" and "Firebird" on his clothes.

But unfortunately, all the spirits in the world today are descendants of the Ancestral Dragon. In order to better win the hearts of the people and facilitate unity, Emperor Jun had to adapt to the situation, gave up the "bird robe", and chose the "dragon robe" as a symbol of power.

This can be regarded as a small impact that Jiao Ming has had on future development...

"Foster father, when you killed Zulong, you should have wiped out Qinglong and the others as well!"

After finishing the topic of daily life, Di Jun began to seriously talk about the current war:
"Killing the Ancestral Dragon would have meant incurring the hatred of the orthodox dragon race. Since there is hatred everywhere, it is better to cut the grass and root it out. In this way, there will be no war today..."

Di Jun's words made Jiao Ming silent.

"I can not do it."

Jiao Ming shook his head.

He killed Zulong only because Zulong, who had embarked on the path to enlightenment, would inevitably endanger the safety of all people in the prehistoric world. No matter how big Zulong's fault was, he could not vent his anger on innocent family members.

This is in irreconcilable conflict with his lifelong philosophy...

"Godfather, you are always so...weak!"

Di Jun was annoyed by his words for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say something offensive:

"If you can eradicate the roots, then Qinglong and the others won't have the chance to spread hatred. The other second-generation dragons and ordinary dragons are originally slaves of the Ancestral Dragon, and they don't have a good relationship with him. If no one instigates them, there is no need to avenge the Ancestral Dragon."

"In this way, there is no need to fight today's war. Once the Heavenly Army arrives, they will immediately kneel down and surrender..."

"Your actions will only cause more unnecessary casualties!"

There was a struggle in Jiao Ming's eyes:

He naturally knew this truth, because Hongjun had said something similar in the past.

Sacrificing some people to save more people is cruel, but it is actually the best solution...

But, isn’t the reason why Jiao Ming reincarnated three times just to avoid this kind of sacrifice?

"Sacrificing Azure Dragon to save more dragons... isn't that also a sacrifice?"

Jiao Ming muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Di Jun's mouth twitched:
Well, it’s still useless…

"Father..."

Emperor Jun sighed:
"After this battle, don't meddle in worldly affairs anymore. Leave everything to me!"

My adoptive father is more merciful than the ideal saint, which is destined to be a mixed blessing.

The good thing is that he really cares about the life and death of everyone, which is a unique moral peak among both naturally divine and ordinary creatures. He is morally superior to the rest of the world!

The downside is that he often does bad things with good intentions, and ends up becoming the big boss...

Perhaps it is just as my godfather himself said:

He is old, and a person from the old era cannot find a ship to carry him in the new era.

Let your younger self let all the old times go with the wind!
