Chapter 69: Rebellion!

[In the 369th year of the Demonic Calendar, Ao Guang was canonized by Xuandu and started out as a small chieftain in a corner of the East China Sea.]

[In the next period, Ao Guang governed the aquatic tribe in the name of the True Dragon. He was impartial and achieved good results, so he was promoted.]

[Another luck, another rise...]

[Although Xuandu was concerned about Ao Guang's identity, he had to acknowledge his achievements as an official.]

[Unlike the ignorant old dragons under his command, Ao Guang, as the True Dragon Prince, naturally did not get his title for nothing. His abilities were outstanding among the clan. In addition, after being influenced by you for a long time on Mount Shouyang, his abilities and vision have risen to a higher level.]

[So, once he gets the chance to enter politics, promotion is inevitable! ]

[So Xuandu was in a dilemma. He knew that Ao Guang's promotion would definitely cause changes, but Ao Guang himself did not show any problems. Once his achievements came, Xuandu had no choice but to promote him.]

[As Ao Guang's official position became higher and higher, his followers naturally increased. Good and bad people were mixed together, and they gathered for profit. Ao Guang was not stingy in promoting them, so the number of dragon officials increased day by day...]

【Finally, feeling Ao Guang's growing power, Xuandu became more and more anxious every time he thought about the changes that would happen to his old dragon clan in the future. Finally, he remembered the words you left for him.】

[“…You are a weak person…”]

[Xuan Du repeated this sentence over and over again, his usually gentle eyes gradually became colder and harsher. If that is the case, then he will no longer be weak...]

[In the 369th year of the demon calendar, the 11th year of the fifth cycle, the great chief of the human race, Xuandu, arrested several chiefs of the Jiaolong tribe who were bullying the water tribe, and publicly asked Ao Guang what should be done with them? ]

[Ao Guang did not dare to act as a guarantor, but only said that he would enforce the law impartially, so Xuan Du readily agreed and ordered Ao Guang to personally escort the guilty dragon to the Heavenly Palace to behead the demon.]

[It's luck, the blood of the three dragons stained the demon-slaying platform! ]

[In the next period, Xuandu captured five more Chi and ordered Ao Guang to escort them to the Heavenly Palace.]

[It’s luck, the blood of the five dragons dyed the demon-slaying platform! ]

[In the next period, Xuandu captured four turtles again...]

[Xuandu no longer blindly compromises, nor gradually promotes ideological education, but instead takes a tough approach! ]

[At the beginning, Xuandu only arrested the aquatic creatures who broke the law, and then ordered Ao Guang to escort them. ]

[In the future, we will conduct a thorough investigation, and anyone who has participated in the revival of old ideas will be arrested and convicted. If they cannot be beheaded, they will be sentenced to imprisonment.]

[The Dragon Clan was originally related to each other, so after a few rounds, Xuandu went crazy and started to kill people like crazy! ]

[In the 370th year of the Demonic Calendar, Xuandu finally conducted a thorough investigation of the entire East China Sea aquatic population. The guilty were beheaded, and the innocent were imprisoned. This caused chaos among the aquatic population, and the people were in a panic...]

[Severe punishments were imposed on minor crimes, and innocent people were implicated. Xuandu's perverse actions finally caused resistance from the vast majority of the East China Sea aquatic creatures. Even many humans and East Wasteland monsters thought Xuandu was really crazy, so they sympathized with the aquatic creatures and blamed Xuandu.]

[“The Emperor made the wrong choice by choosing Xuandu…”]

[People are talking and the situation is turbulent. Xuandu gradually loses control of the situation...]

[On Shouyang Mountain, the situation is chaotic. ]

[In the Thirty-Three Heavens, your situation is not optimistic! ]

……

[Because you rose from the East Desert and the East Sea, and suddenly ascended to the Heavenly Palace, you have no foundation in the new environment. You only have the title of Human Emperor who is a military advisor, but in fact most of the Heavenly Officials don't care about you. ]

[Firstly, you have a low level of cultivation and look easy to bully. Secondly, you were promoted too quickly from a mere chieftain to the successor of the Emperor of Heaven. Everyone thinks you are just a flatterer...]

[So, the number one sycophant in the Heavenly Court, the Sun Star Lord, began to set himself up against you! ]

[The Sun Star Lord, your master in your previous life, now regards you as a "treasonous villain" and is deliberately working against you.]

[It turns out that although your behavior of taking advantage of the opportunity to expand territory and seize power in the East Wasteland was not taken seriously by Emperor Jun, in the eyes of this number one loyal dog of the Emperor of Heaven, it was simply open treason! ]

[How could he possibly look at you in a good light? ]

[The Sun Star Lord took the lead in fighting you, so naturally the other high-ranking Heavenly Officials followed suit... As a result, you didn't accomplish much in governing the Heavenly Court, but you were able to get a good meal out of your anger! ]

[At this moment, you can't help but miss your last life. Although the situation was difficult at that time, you had a high degree of freedom in the prehistoric world. You could form an alliance with the Ancestral Witch and bring the three ancient tribes on board. The human race in Shouyang Mountain was also absolutely loyal.]

[It's nothing like now, Chunchun is being bullied in heaven! ]

[But the path was chosen by myself. In this life, I have already micro-manipulated the three ancient tribes. I have not yet touched the Buzhou Mountain in Zhongzhou, the home of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.]

[The human race in Shouyang Mountain is unable to provide help to me who is far away in Heaven...]

[“I don’t know. How is Xuandu?”]

[You begin to miss Xuandu and the human race. You left them a team that works for them. I wonder if they are used to it.]

[No matter what you are missing, no matter what you are reflecting on, in short, time just passes day by day...]

[As time goes by, the process of the Emperor's abdication progresses step by step, and your power and position become higher and higher! ]

[In the 369th year of the Demonic Calendar, the eighth meeting and fourth luck, you will receive the military talisman and can mobilize the elite of the Wu Clan.]

[The 369th day of the 11th month of the demon calendar will be the sixth day of the lunar calendar. You will receive the Jade Sceptre. The decrees of the Heavenly Court will be issued only with your approval.]

[In the 370th year of the demon calendar, the Emperor of Heaven, along with his wife and children, retired to the Tanggu Island in the East China Sea, ignoring worldly affairs and enjoying life to the fullest. The only thing left before he officially passes the throne to you is a ceremony of abdication!] [But you don't feel happy at all, because even if you become the Emperor of Heaven, you are unlikely to be able to do anything under the manipulation of this group of unconvinced Heavenly Officials.]

[This Heavenly Emperor is as good as not being the Emperor...]

[You numbly repeat the meaningless political discussions, and can't help but laugh at yourself: I wanted to undermine the Emperor of Heaven in the beginning, but now that I am half the Emperor of Heaven, I am being undermined by my ministers.]

[How to break the deadlock? There is no way to break the deadlock! ]

[You know very well that the current situation was doomed when you agreed to start the abdication process immediately.]

[Tired, destroy it. 】

[You closed your eyes helplessly...]

[The date for the abdication ceremony was thus set, and the Heavenly Palace began to prepare for it. Festive items were hung everywhere, and a magnificent abdication platform was also built. Everything seemed so dreamlike.]

[Including you, it seems like a dream. 】

[On this day, you put on your own Heavenly Emperor's robes with the help of the maids in the Heavenly Palace. You looked extremely luxurious, but you looked very dazed, as if you were dreaming.]

[“Your Majesty, the car is ready!”]

[A young celestial official came forward and bowed respectfully. In the eyes of these ordinary celestial officials, there is actually no power struggle. You are not a puppet, but the new celestial emperor who will soon ascend the throne.]

【“谢谢。”】

[You suddenly thanked this little celestial official in an unbecoming manner, and then, under his respectful guidance, you boarded the golden chariot that symbolizes the Emperor of Heaven...]

[The Emperor's golden chariot slowly drove towards the Chanting Platform. Under the gazes of the thousands of celestial officials and the public who came to attend the ceremony, the golden chariot arrived at the edge of the platform.]

[You got off the car and went up to the meditation platform. Di Jun had been waiting for you on the platform for a while. Seeing that you finally came, he smiled gently and said that he would leave everything to you from now on. He was going to Tanggu Sanatorium to retire.]

[You force a smile and think to yourself: You definitely don’t think so…]

[The Emperor of Heaven gave a command, and the abdication ceremony began! ]

[First, there are various artistic performances to whet the appetite, and then the main show begins. ]

[The Sun Star Lord brought a jade seal, which is the seal of the Emperor of Heaven, the most direct representation of the Emperor of Heaven's power.]

[According to the ceremony, the Sun Star Lord should hand over the Jade Seal to the Emperor of Heaven, and then the Emperor of Heaven will personally hand it to you, and you will be considered to have ascended the throne.]

[In fact, this is exactly what happened. The Sun Star Lord followed the etiquette and presented the Jade Seal to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven then personally handed it to you. The ceremony was now complete...]

[But just when all this was settled, the Sun Star Lord suddenly snatched the jade seal from your hand. In the confusion of you and the other immortals watching the ceremony, the Sun Star Lord knelt on the ground, holding the seal and crying! ]

[He claimed that he would always be the loyal dog of the Emperor of Heaven, and Heaven would always be the Emperor of Heaven’s Heaven. No one in Heaven would recognize this abdication! ]

[Then, amidst the uproar, a group of "demon tribe leaders" rushed to the meditation platform, pushed the dazed you to the ground, stripped you of your crown and robes, and cursed as they stripped you back, saying that the people have long been fed up with your precious things, and today they will return the power to you.]

[Your heart skipped a beat. Although you didn’t understand why Emperor Jun would disregard the saint and attack, you also knew that you were doomed. You couldn’t help but yell, “Fight!”]

[Three Daluo Jinxian incarnations soared into the sky from your top door, and attacked the stunned "demon clan leaders", killing them instantly. ]

[The Sun Star Lord who staged the coup was also caught off guard, but he still took action immediately. His Daluo cultivation was fully demonstrated, and he fought the three Daluo incarnations on an almost equal footing.]

[Moreover, the Daluo Tianguan quickly reacted and joined the battle. Under the beating, your three incarnations didn’t last long before they were pinned to the ground. Together with your original body, they were all captured.]

[Resistance failed...]

[You are not surprised by this, you just lie on the ground and watch the Sun Star Lord's performance with great interest.]

[After suppressing the resistance of you and your three clones, the Sun Star Lord wiped his cold sweat, turned around and took the jade seal back into Di Jun's hands, shouting: The Emperor of Heaven is back! ]

[The crowd is completely furious now. Even a fool can see that this is a coup. Now it’s time to take sides. Who should we take sides with? ]

[A poor guy with true immortal cultivation and no foundation? A powerful emperor who has ruled the universe for many years? ]

[“The Emperor of Heaven is back!”]

[Those who don't want to be liquidated all kneel down and shout! ]

[“You guys really made me suffer!”]

[Emperor Jun sighed. In the end, he could not resist the common wishes of the people and was forced to return to the throne...]

[It is fate, the Emperor of Man has failed in his abdication, and the Emperor of Heaven has been restored! ]

[It was luck. Xuandu, who had been driven nearly crazy on Mount Shouyang, lost his mind immediately after hearing the news. He gave the order, "Let's die together!"]

【"Inverted!"】

[The demon calendar has 370 years, and the three fortunes will come. Shouyang Mountain announces its rebellion against the heaven! ]
