Chapter 70: So That's How It Is (Broken Defense, More Updates)
Heaven, the palace of the human emperor.

Jin Bing still lived in his own palace. Although he failed to abdicate, he didn't know what Di Jun was thinking. He still kept his position as the emperor...

"..."

Facing the visiting Emperor of Heaven, Jin Bing remained silent for a long time, and finally could not help but ask:
"I do not understand……"

In the quiet palace, the Emperor of Heaven sat aside. During Jin Bing's silence, the Emperor of Heaven had been looking at him with strange eyes. Seeing him asking, the Emperor of Heaven smiled:

"You want to ask why I would disregard my agreement with the saint and openly play a trick on you?"

Jin Bing said nothing, but nodded:
Because this matter was really too ridiculous. He had six saints supporting him. At the beginning, Emperor Jun also took the initiative to propose abdication, and the six saints jointly recognized it.

Now that Di Jun has staged an inexplicable coup, what does it mean to forcefully go back on his word?
To be honest, Jin Bing even wanted to ask Di Jun:
Are you crazy? You are not afraid of death!

If you dare to abdicate in public, the Six Saints will dare to agree. If you regret it now, the Six Saints will have ten thousand reasons to kill you.

As I said before, the ultimate competition in the prehistoric world is about who has the bigger fist. This applies to Jin Bing as well as Di Jun. Under the Six Saints, everything else is an ant...

"I know you don't understand, but what if I tell you that I really want to abdicate?"

"?"

Under Jin Bing's confused gaze, Di Jun sighed:

"Sir, I'm serious. Since I promised to give the throne to you, I really want to give it to you."

"You think the restoration was my doing, but have you ever thought that this is really what the people want?"

Ah!
Jin Bing's first reaction was to sneer:
Such a big thing has happened, and now you are actually telling me hypocritically that this is not your work at all, but some ridiculous public opinion...

Ok?
As he was thinking, Jin Bing suddenly felt a pause:
I have always wanted to rely on the will of the people to seize the power of the Emperor of Heaven, so why can't I believe that the will of the people can be greater than physical strength?

Di Jun seemed to see his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Haven't you always wanted to use the people's support to undermine my throne? Why don't I deserve the people's support?"

He recalled:

"Since I was ordered by the Taoist Ancestor, over the past four hundred years, I have established the Heavenly Court, conquered the three tribes, and pacified the four wildernesses. My martial arts achievements are outstanding!"

"Establish a demon tribe, promote demon culture, govern the local area, and unify the country. The culture and governance are excellent!"

"Your civil and military achievements, your moral integrity, what's so weak about that? You are the only one allowed to have the support of the people, not me?"

After hearing Di Jun's laughter, Jin Bing finally realized that his guess might be wrong:
Indeed, compared with himself, an undeveloped chief of the East Wilderness, Di Jun, who has been the Emperor of Heaven for nearly four hundred years, is obviously more qualified to speak for the people's will!
In Shouyang Mountain, the human race's base, he may have the support of the people and be much more famous than Emperor Jun, who was far away from the emperor.

But in the boundless world of prehistoric times, Di Jun is undoubtedly better...

"Then the Sun Star Lord..."

Jin Bing was hesitant to speak. The Sun Star Lord who had been jumping up and down before was the one who orchestrated the entire coup. Isn't he your man?
"he?"

Di Jun shook his head helplessly:

"This kid has always treated me as his master and considered himself a loyal dog. Although he is indeed my man, this time it was not my instructions that I gave him..."

He sighed:
"I have given up all my power, and I really intend to hand over the Heavenly Court to you. From now on, I will stay with Xihe, Wangshu, Changxi and the others in Tanggu. I owe them too much in these four hundred yuan meetings as the Emperor of Heaven..."

Jin Bing couldn't believe it:

"Are you... serious?"

Di Jun, this powerful creature, actually planned to abdicate and retire? !
"if not?"

Di Jun said bitterly:
"Your six backers clearly don't want me to continue working here. If that's the case, why don't you be more self-aware..."

"Perhaps you didn't see them before, but those six were also among the crowd watching the ceremony. I had originally planned to invite them to the stage to help you strengthen your prestige after I abdicated, and use the saints to intimidate those heavenly officials who disobeyed you."

"result……"

"At that time, your uncle Shangqing had already touched the Qingping Sword!"

The more Di Jun spoke, the more bitter he became.

He did not lie. After all, his throne had been unstable since the birth of the Six Saints. If only one or two saints were against him, he might have dared to explode.

But there are six saints standing behind this kid!

In a sense, the person in the most dangerous situation at the ceremony today was not Jin Bing who was pinned to the ground, but Di Jun who was almost hit by the Qingping Sword...

"Today, the people are united, and I cannot openly disobey you... But don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

In front of the distraught Jin Bing, Di Jun comforted him:

"I will take the Sun Star Lord and the others away in a while, and leave you a heaven that you can control..." These words seemed sincere, but no one knew whether they were mixed with lies.

Jin Bing didn't know either, but he knew one thing: this abdication had completely failed!
Moreover, it is unlikely to be successful in the future.

A Heavenly Emperor who was openly abandoned by the people during the abdication ceremony, no matter how he micromanaged, his personality had already collapsed. When the people's hearts were no longer on his side, his beautiful fantasy of becoming an emperor with the people's hearts was also shattered...

What's the use of such a Heavenly Emperor who has no foundation and is like a castle in the air?
"Did I... make the wrong choice?"

Jin Bing suddenly asked a question that had no context.

But Di Jun obviously understood. He thought about it and said seriously:
"You're too hasty."

"I originally thought that you were a perfect person who truly benefited the people, and that expanding your power in the Eastern Wasteland was just a strategy to promote equality."

"That's why I tested you and asked you if you want to start the succession immediately or wait a little longer?"

Di Jun said with great interest:
"In the end, you stopped acting and revealed your ambition directly... Why can't you just keep acting?"

He seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be truly regretful:

"If a hypocrite can play the role of a gentleman for his entire life, then he is a true gentleman... It's a pity that you didn't play the role to the end."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and said:
"There's a rebellion in Xuandu, did you know that?"

Jin Bing shook his head. He didn’t know, but he could guess.

"Honestly, you didn't choose a good heir. You can't even handle the dragons properly."

Emperor Junrui commented on Xuandu's administration.

"He has always been weak, so he often causes more trouble, and in the end he has to spend a greater price to remedy the situation..."

Jin Bing did not hide Xuan Du's problem and admitted:
"I should have trained him for a while longer instead of rushing to heaven. Now the matter of Shouyang Mountain has not been handled properly, and the matter of heaven is gone."

"You're right, I was too impatient..."

Jin Bing seemed to have untied some knot in his heart, swept away the decadent atmosphere that had been with him since heaven, and regained the vigor and vitality he had on Mount Shouyang.

This made Di Jun somewhat surprised, but also a little regretful. What's the use of realizing it at this time?
Jin Bing smiled:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your advice. I will pay attention next time."

"next time?"

Di Jun looked bewildered.

Jin Bing let go of his obsession and simply looked up at the sky, then smiled at Di Jun:

"I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

Di Jun suddenly had a bad premonition...

[In the 370th year of the demon calendar, the Emperor of Man was abandoned by the people, his abdication failed, and the Emperor of Heaven was restored to his position.]

[After your failure, you realize everything after being reminded by Di Jun, and decide to give the Emperor a small reward...]

[On that day, the Human Emperor died for no apparent reason, and the Heavenly Emperor also died out of nowhere! Chaos reigned in the Heavenly Palace! ]

[At the same time, the anti-heaven war broke out in Shouyang Mountain! ]

[With the help of the saint, Xuandu was unstoppable. In just three Yuanhui, he conquered the four wastelands and four seas, and attacked the thirty-three heavens.]

[In the 373rd year of the Demonic Calendar, in the 8th year of the 2nd cycle, Xuandu held the Taiji Diagram, the Qingping Sword, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Red Hydrangea, the Vajra Pestle, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and led his army to capture the Heavenly Palace! ]

[It is destiny, capture and kill the Sun Star Lord and his followers, and avenge the Emperor of Man! ]

[It is fate. The Emperor of Heaven’s wife and son are expelled. Donghuang Taiyi, the demon master and others also avoid him and choose to abdicate...]

[It is destiny. With the support of the Six Saints, Xuandu succeeded to the throne of Heavenly Emperor and fulfilled the unfinished wish of the Human Emperor! ]

[However, a Shouyang Mountain that already had a weak foundation and was full of internal contradictions suddenly established the Heavenly Palace with the military force of saints. Can such a Heavenly Palace really last long? ]

[…You died. The wrong choice led to the wrong outcome…Your eagerness to make progress disrupted all your steps. You succeeded to the throne but were defeated by a coup d’état by the people. You established Xuandu but Shouyang was in chaos. All of this was caused by your haste. Your foundation was not solid, and the strategy you chose was not feasible…]

[Your goal was not achieved, but at least you are sure that after the six saints put pressure on Di Jun, he really doesn't want to be the emperor anymore... The plan to seize the throne can be completely feasible with a slight modification! ]

[Can we go back in time and return to our last life option? ]

……

(I have seen everyone's suggestions. I will explain everything that can be explained by the plot. I won't lower the intelligence for no reason...)
(As for letting the clones run the government, if the clones can handle things independently, then there is no need for the Heavenly Court and the ordinary demon race to exist. Wouldn't it be better for Hongjun to directly use his clones to travel all over the prehistoric world? So the function of the clone is limited...)
(Anyway, I've broken through the defense, and I'll update today.)
