Chapter 71 Arming and Seizing Power

"Death is quite abstract..."

Seeing Jin Bing being killed again, and taking Di Jun with him, Zhao Si did not feel sad for him for even a moment, and immediately rushed to Honghuang...

Pooh!
Instead of rushing to restart, Zhao Si began to summarize the various information in this erroneous branch:

"Although this is a dead end, there are lessons to be learned. First of all, Emperor Jun is not pretending, but really wants to abdicate!"

This sounds strange, because in the previous two simulations, Di Jun's image has always been a typical power-hungry person. Even after becoming a saint, he still indirectly used puppets to control the Heavenly Court.

But this time, the powerful creature actually took the initiative to ask to abdicate...

"But considering the context, it makes sense for Emperor Jun to abdicate!"

The Six Saints' enlightenment was itself a shakeup to the absolute power of the Emperor of Heaven. In addition, Jin Bing was favored by the Six Saints, so it was obvious that he wanted to seize power from Emperor Jun.

Facing the joint pressure from the six saints, even if Di Jun was a powerful creature, he would definitely not be able to hold back at this moment...

He was sincere in his abdication.

But the problem is that although Emperor Jun himself wanted to abdicate, others might not think so, such as the Sun Star Lord.

Claiming to be the most loyal dog to the Emperor of Heaven, he would never allow his idol to quit the circle, so he has been trying to make things difficult for Jin Bing to vent his anger.

And in the Heavenly Court, there were more than just the Sun Star Lord who were not impressed by Jin Bing, the parachuted successor to the Emperor of Heaven.
Without any cultivation and connections in the Heavenly Palace, he has no foundation at all. Perhaps only the maids in the palace and the low-level Heavenly Officials who prepare the golden chariot will truly fear him.

However, Emperor Jun did not stop the coup d'état by the Sun Star Lord. What does this indicate?
This shows that Di Jun was very conflicted. He wanted to abdicate, but was unwilling to leave so easily. So he risked being chopped to death by the Qingping Sword and simply condoned the coup.

Of course, he didn't really want to be restored to power, but wanted to use this opportunity to declare his attitude to the Six Saints:

Although I will definitely have to leave, it's still okay for me to give you guys a cold shoulder!

What? You want to cut me?

What does it have to do with me? This is clearly what the people want!
Judging from what he said to Jin Bing afterwards, he should have planned to take all his old subordinates away after a while, and leave after having fun to avoid being liquidated.

And the throne will eventually be given to Jin Bing...

As for the Six Saints, they didn't really want to get involved in the administration of Heaven and the affairs of the human race. Even Taiqing, the Master of Jin Bing, almost cut ties with him, which shows the attitude of the Six Saints towards this.

As for the later support of the Six Saints by Xuan Du in conquering the Heavenly Palace, it was mainly because Jin Bing, the candidate for the Emperor of Heaven agreed upon by both parties, was not only defeated in a coup, but also died inexplicably. Whether it was to maintain the face of the saints or simply to avenge Jin Bing, the Six Saints had to respond.

Moreover, the Six Saints can support Xuandu to become emperor, but it does not mean that they will always help him maintain order in heaven.

The Six Saints were more of mechanical deities who had to take action because their faces were lost. As executors of the Heavenly Dao, although they were infinitely powerful, they could not be stained with too much karma.

To put it more clearly, it is to beat but not cure:

Indirectly help Xuandu capture the Heaven Palace, okay!
It is for this reason that the Six Saints watched helplessly as the Sun Star Lord, together with the high-ranking celestial officials and the people, launched a coup and pinned Jin Bing to the ground.

The success of this coup is entirely a manifestation of the people's lack of support, and not the work of the Sun Star Lord alone. The Six Saints can't force everyone to be loyal to the new Heavenly Emperor, can they?
In the final analysis, the Six Saints can only stand on the stage, but cannot leave...

"So, the heavenly palace established by Xuandu should not last too long."

Zhao thought:

"The subsequent result should be that the internal conflicts are getting bigger and bigger. Xuandu and Shouyang Mountain are unstable, and the collapse of the Heavenly Court will eventually happen again. In addition, the reason why the human race is the destined protagonist has not been found, so the key information collection is insufficient, and the system determines that the simulation has failed..."

So what should we do next?

Zhao Si stroked the lazy cat in his arms, and the future plan became clearer:

"First of all, Di Jun is not my enemy!"

Di Jun, who had already decided to step down, had no intention of staying on the throne for long, so in the plan to seize power, Di Jun's attitude could basically be ignored.

Similarly, Donghuang Taiyi, the demon master Kunpeng, the sun chariot Xihe, as well as Wangshu and Changxi, etc., all the brothers, wives, assistants of Emperor Jun, the real ruling group of the heaven, will not obstruct Jin Bing too much.

So who is the enemy?

"The Sun Star Lord, as well as the powerful officials of the Heavenly Court, um... maybe we should also add the powerful wild monsters from all over the prehistoric world."

These people are either staunch loyalists of the imperial party or have vested interests. In any case, none of them support the new emperor's ascension to the throne. They use Heaven as their base camp and the Three Desolations and Three Seas as their sphere of influence, and they firmly oppose the change of the throne.

"So, among my enemies, there is no Quasi-Saint who is too outstanding. The best is the Golden Immortal!"

After some sorting out, the real enemy finally surfaced!
Zhao Si breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, okay, the micro-management in this simulation is very effective. At least if we continue along this path, the strength of the opposition will be directly reduced from Quasi-Saint to Daluo."

"As long as Jin Bing returns to the node and continues to develop in Shouyang Mountain, and can produce a hundred Golden Immortals, there is no need for any illusory abdication, and we can directly declare war on the Heavenly Court!"

It is ultimately unrealistic in the ancient times to abdicate based on the will of the people.

The most useful thing in the ancient times is the fist!

Zhao Si made up his mind:
"Rewind time!" [Time has flown backwards...]

[…When asked about the time of succession by the Emperor of Heaven, which one would you choose (?)]

[A: Your Majesty, please forgive me. I want to improve so much! Why don't we start the process now? B: For the sake of caution, I will go home and plant some crops, and then wait and see. ]

"Choose B!"

[If you choose option B, be cautious and go home to plant the land, and wait and see.]

[You have started over again, and this time you did not fall for Di Jun's trick. Facing Di Jun's temptation, you firmly stated: I am the most loyal subject of the Emperor of Heaven. Even if the destiny is in my hands, I am only willing to work peacefully in Shouyang Mountain! ]

【loyalty!】

[Your loyalty surprised Di Jun, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: Did I see it wrong? Are you actually a true gentleman? ]

[But no matter what, your status as the successor to the Emperor of Heaven has been confirmed. The Emperor of Heaven was moved by your loyalty, so he specially sent you back to Shouyang Mountain in a golden chariot...]

[The grand birthday party for the Ten Golden Crows officially ended, and the immortals left the Heavenly Palace amidst much discussion. After bidding farewell to the Emperor of Heaven, you made a special trip to meet the Six Saints.]

【Tai Qing asked you with a smile: Why don’t you just agree to it? 】

[Shang Qing said with regret that if you agree today, he will let Di Jun take the throne! ]

[You said nothing, but smiled helplessly and raised two fingers to the saints...]

[Shangqing:? ]

【Yuqing:? 】

[The Two Saints of the West: Riddler, get out of here! ]

[Only Taiqing and Nuwa looked at each other in surprise, as if they were thinking about something...]

[“What are you going to do next?”]

[Tai Qing became serious. His disciple had died quietly, which was something he had not expected. Could it be that Di Jun dared to commit suicide again?]

【"wait."】

【You respond in a deep voice.】

【…】

[In the 368th year of the Demonic Calendar, the 10th year of the 12th cycle, you rejected the Emperor's temptation to abdicate immediately, and with absolute loyalty and responsibility, you returned to Mount Shouyang after a long absence.]

[Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain scenery and people, you are filled with emotion...]

[The first thing you did when you returned to Shouyang Mountain was to immediately organize a reasonable central management team and teach them to gradually replace your governance functions. A reasonable comprehensive management system is far more resistant to risks than a deformed political system where you take on too much responsibility.]

[Then, you used the free time you saved to teach Xuandu a lesson: I will make you soft-hearted! I will make you crazy!]

[Xuan Du, who was criticized every day, almost cried. He didn't understand where he had done wrong to deserve the chief's anger...]

[While disciplining Xuandu, you also gathered a group of human elites with the highest cultivation. They are all first-generation humans, and their average cultivation is Golden Immortal. Considering that they are only three epochs old at most, this level of cultivation is actually quite good.]

[But since you have already made a plan to seize power by force, the Golden Immortal cultivation is not enough, and the Taiyi Golden Immortal is also not enough. You need at least a hundred Daluo! ]

[So, you began to spend a lot of energy to train them specially. Natural resources and treasures were indispensable, and daily preaching was also required. Under the experience and insights of your previous life at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, a group of human elites were forced to start cramming...]

[But cramming is cramming, and the effect is really strong! ]

[In the 368th year of the Demonic Calendar, the 10th meeting and the 20th luck, the elites of the human race, who were already the best among the Golden Immortals, finally produced the first Taiyi Golden Immortal! ]

[Then it became unstoppable, and the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals exploded. ]

[In the 369th year of the Demonic Calendar, the first generation of humans favored by the Three Thousand Heavenly Daos, with the merits accumulated over the years, coupled with your nearly unlimited resources, and the catalysis of your experience and preaching at the peak of the Great Luo, finally all of them have become Taiyi Golden Immortals! ]

[This is an extremely astonishing number. Even if the Heavenly Court can mobilize a lot of Daluo and Quasi-Sages, it is impossible to mobilize 3,000 Taiyi Golden Immortals at once in a short period of time. After all, the immortal path is difficult. Even among the Six Saints, there are many who are still Taiyi Golden Immortals. Daluo are even rarer. ]

[You are also shocked by the achievements of these humans. For the first time, you intuitively understand what the four words "destined protagonist" really mean...]

[“The great cause of equality cannot be delayed!”]

[You sighed secretly. If the human race continues to develop at this rate, how will the demon race survive in the future? We must seize the power of the Heavenly Court as soon as possible to effectively limit the budding of their supremacist ideas! ]

[But you are a little confused: In order to restrict the human race, you must develop the human race... Is this really right...]

[You don’t know, but the road ahead is like this, you have to go on! ]
