Chapter 214: Annexation, Puppet

You are indeed very abstract.

[However, your abstraction is only a strategic move, because although you only asked Jin Bing for the identity of "Xuandu's reincarnation", both parties know that you, a golden immortal, are the boss wherever you are! ]

[On the surface, you joined this pirated team as the "reincarnation of Xuan Du", but in fact you indirectly controlled them. In the prehistoric world, strength is everything. Although Jin Bing is nominally your master, he has been your puppet since the moment you joined them with a legal identity.]

[The reason you want to do this is, of course, to seize this blood sea foundation: there are countless True Immortals, millions of Heavenly Immortals, hundreds of thousands of Mysterious Immortals... Since you are lucky enough to come across such a piece of fat meat, there is no reason to let it go.]

[Once you control this force, and add your Heavenly Court, the two will be combined into one. Not to mention occupying the entire five regions of the prehistoric world, at least you can effectively control the Western Wasteland. Basically, there will be no problem! ]

[This is one of your plans. After all, you still want to do something within your ability for the people struggling in this desperate land of Honghuang...]

[Secondly, we can use them to explore the secrets of the Styx... You believe that since the Styx created them, there must be a reason. They themselves represent the Styx's thoughts back then. If we keep them, we may be able to gain insight into the mystery of the disappearance of myths in the future! ]

[In short, you can make money without losing anything! ]

【…】

[After the two of you had agreed on the terms, Jin Bing began to take action. He first summoned Xuan Du and ordered him to hide his real name and give up this identity.]

[Although Xuan Du was confused, he still obeyed his order... As for giving up his identity, Xuan Du was not sad, but relieved: it has been so many years, even if everyone didn't know the truth at the beginning, they basically knew it by now. ]

[They are not the people in the myth, but pirated goods created by someone. The so-called magnificent life is actually just a fabricated false life...]

[The more famous the mythical identity is, the more upset they feel, because they feel they are not worthy of it! ]

[Take Di Jun as an example. Many of them have thought about ending this fake and ridiculous life by committing suicide.]

[Although some people are not so extreme, they also want to give up the name and past that do not belong to them, and start a life that truly belongs to them with a brand new identity! ]

[Only Jin Bing is an outlier. Although he feels that he is not worthy of this name, he does not think about life and death. Instead, he truly accepts this identity and intends to be a savior who saves all living things like the real Jin Bing! ]

[Now the world is at its end, and people are struggling in dire straits. Whenever Jin Bing sees all this, he seems to be able to enter the heart of Emperor Jin Tian: his ideals, his greatness, his pursuits... he can feel them all.]

[It is precisely because of this that he created the current Blood Sea Spirit Stone Market civilization, trained countless immortals, and tried to become the main sun that brought light and hope to the prehistoric world! ]

[But ideals are full of hope, and reality is very cruel. His ideals, which were full of lofty ambitions, encountered setbacks from the very first step... because he did not have the political ability of Emperor Jin Tian.]

[He couldn't even control his subordinates, so he could only bite the bullet and use the Blood God Son to brainwash them...]

[Emperor Jun wanted to commit suicide, but Jin Bing forbade him to do so. Xuan Du wanted to give up his name, but Jin Bing also refused... In this way, a large and barely passable regime was established and survived.]

[And now that you have replaced Xuan Du's identity, it actually makes him feel relieved. At least he can start a new life without any psychological burden...]

[So, regarding your identity replacement operation, other people were envious and jealous: Damn it, how is my identity worse than Xuandu? Why don’t you want mine! ]

[In short, amidst all the different thoughts, you have become the "reincarnation of Xuandu" recognized by everyone. ]

【…】

[Now that you have been officially conferred the title, you will no longer act and will directly invade and seize many markets in the Blood Sea! ]

[You took the Blood God Son from Jin Bing. After a simple refining, this Blood God Son now belongs to you. Therefore, you also seized Jin Bing's control over his subordinates.]

[But even so, you did not directly drive Jin Bing off the stage, but continued to maintain his nominal position as the "Emperor of Heaven"...]

[You suddenly became a powerful official who usurped the throne. Jin Bing has become your puppet emperor, and you, as "Xuan Du", have actually replaced his position! ]

[Although Jin Bing lamented about this arrangement, he didn't say much, because this was the price of getting you to join the group. As an outsider, joining the group would be equivalent to seizing power, and this was not subject to his will.]

[And if he refuses you to join the group... he wouldn't dare to refuse. You are lucky enough to still give him some face when you have an absolute advantage in power...]

[Besides seizing power, you haven't done anything against the will of heaven. He can see that your joining the Blood Sea will only benefit the forces, not harm them.]

[At the cost of one person losing power, millions of people benefit... Jin Bing thought silently: Even the real Jin Tiandi would not refuse.]

[“As long as everything is on the right track, then everything is fine…”]

[He sighed and adjusted the position of his puppet.]

【…】

[After you successfully conquer the Sea of ​​Blood, you will realize how fat this piece of fat meat is: there are hundreds of thousands of Xuanxian, millions of Tianxian, and countless Zhenxian! ]

[This is the result of occupying the precious land of the Sea of ​​Blood. With nearly unlimited spiritual stone resources, this place has restored the ancient mythological scene. If it weren't for the Golden Immortal Tribulation that always weighs on everyone, it is estimated that there would be no shortage of Golden Immortals here, and maybe even Taiyi and Daluo...]

[This is totally the foundation of an emperor! ]

[You even dare to say that it is absolutely impossible for any force in the prehistoric world to reach such strength, because this is a "miracle land" created by resources and policies. They not only have spiritual stone resources, but also the effect of Jin Bing's command. ]

[In order to train enough manpower, Jin Bing has always issued a strict order: No one is allowed to go to Zhongzhou to pursue the so-called "immortal world"! ]

[In response to this, you curiously asked Jin Bing: Why are you not allowed to go to the fairyland? Do you also know that the fairyland is a trap?] [Jin Bing scratched his head: I don’t know, I have never been in, but over the years, those who have gone to pursue the fairyland have never come back. I can tell there is something wrong just by thinking with my buttocks...]

[“Besides, the reason why immortals pursue the immortal world is essentially to pursue unlimited spiritual energy and resources... and the blood sea just happens to have it!”]

[Jin Bing's answer surprised you, but it made sense: With such a big "treasure bowl" and endless spiritual stones on the seabed, you can get so many Xuanxian just by chewing the spiritual stones, so why take the risk to pursue the immortal world that is bound to have problems?]

【After understanding this principle, you can't help but sigh: It's a blessing in disguise! 】

[Every old man knows that there is a problem in the fairy world, but people outside can't explain what the problem is, and people who have entered can't tell... In addition, due to their yearning for unlimited resources, even if people from other realms have doubts about the fairy world, most of them can't bear the hope and choose to try their luck. ]

[Only the Xuehai family, because they were originally too wealthy, were able to allow Jin Bing to issue a "traffic restriction order" and keep all the people on this land in the Western Wasteland Xuehai, and thus have such a rich family background...]

[“So, what are you going to do next?”]

[Jin Bing looked at you with a complicated expression. He wanted to know what you were going to do after taking over the Blood Sea. Although he was powerless to stop you from doing anything, he hoped that you would lead the Blood Sea family into a bright future.]

[You thought about it and said seriously: "I want to ban the mining of spirit stones!"]

【Jin Bing: ……】

【Jin Bing was stunned at the time: No... What do you mean by digging up the roots right away? !】

[“Spiritual stones are the foundation for the development of the blood sea. If we interrupt it rashly, I’m afraid there will be a disaster!”]

[Jin Bing was so frightened that he quickly tried to dissuade her: "You can indulge your desires, but why do you have to cut off your vital organs?"]

[Without Spiritual Stones, how can we fight against the Dharma Ending Age! ]

[You calmly answer: It’s very simple, no one should cultivate immortality.]

【Jin Bing: ……】

[You...are a bit extreme.]

[“Not only will I ban the mining of spirit stones, I will also ban mortals from cultivating immortals, and put an end to the evil of cannibalism from the root!”]

【Jin Bing: ……】

【You are too extreme! 】

[Faced with your righteous words, Jin Bing tried to persuade you: I know you hate cannibalism, and I hate it too! But the immortal way must be passed on. Now is the end of the law era and there is no spiritual energy in the world. If you want to cultivate immortality, you can only take a step back.]

[“Compared to the chaos in the rest of the Four Wastelands, at least we still have order… and the souls that turned into spirit stones are all people who died in various parts of the prehistoric world. Their deaths have nothing to do with us. Anyway, there is no reincarnation now, so no matter how long they are piled up, they will never be resurrected!”]

[“Instead of letting them pile up there, why not use them?”]

[Jin Bing tried to prove the rationality of this matter to you, but your expression remained unchanged... He finally got anxious: "Even if the real Jin Tiandi came, he would do the same!"]

[Speaking of Emperor Jin Tian, ​​his eyes seemed to light up with flames. To him, Emperor Jin Tian was the sun of justice worth following. It was already a sacred symbol! ]

[In his opinion, facing the name of Emperor Jin Tian, ​​you will definitely be moved and will listen to his advice! ]

【However……】

[“What does Emperor Jin Tian do have to do with me?”]

[In his daze, you frowned: I am me, he is him, even if he comes to persuade me in person, why should I listen to him? ]

[“I have my own persistence, and Emperor Jin Tian can’t stop me!”]

[You bluntly rebuked this so-called "Emperor of Heaven": I am not a fanboy of Jin Bing, what right does he have to shake my will? ]

[Not to mention Jin Bing, even if it was the Three Pure Ones, the Two Saints, Nuwa, or even the Taoist Master himself, if they dared to persuade me to continue to condone cannibalism, I would crush them all! ]

[“Right now, issue an edict to ban the mining of spirit stones and prohibit mortals from cultivating immortals!”]

[Since this puppet dares to use his power to suppress you, you have no choice but to teach him a lesson... You immediately take out a blank edict and solemnly order the Emperor of Heaven to write an edict.]

[Arrogant, so far! ]

[Jin Bing looked angry and grief-stricken, but he could only follow the instructions and write the edict...]

[When this edict was issued to various places, all the towns and cities were in an uproar! ]

[A torrent that is powerful enough to stir up the sea of ​​blood begins to surge! ]
