"The rebels are coming in!"
"Run!"
"Why are you running? I've heard a long time ago that wherever the rebels go, there is order. As long as we don't resist, we'll be fine."
Emperor Dafeng's inexplicable death could not be concealed after all.
For a time, the defenders of the capital were in chaos. No matter how loyal they were to the Dafeng Dynasty, they still had to see hope to have hope.
Now that the emperor is dead, he still dies at such a critical moment—
Most of the defenders even thought that their destiny was lost.
In addition, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to take action in the capital, entangled most of the Daoist Celestial Masters, and the army outside the capital suddenly attacked again.
The capital that had been run by the Dafeng Dynasty for seven or eight hundred years collapsed.
Whoosh whoosh!
One by one, the Taoist masters entered the city first.
As a Taoist, with strong individual strength, if you enter the city first, you can often grasp the situation in the shortest time.
As for becoming a heavenly master? They are waiting outside the capital to provide support at any time.
Even with Lin Yuan's training, in the past seventy years, he has only trained less than two hundred heavenly masters, and some of them have to suppress the states that have been conquered.
Entering the Taoist Celestial Master belongs to the background and will definitely not be able to enter the capital easily.
Even if the city gate is broken, who knows if there are some back-up plans inside that can kill the Heavenly Master.
Even if he is as strong as a heavenly master, he is still an ordinary person in essence. If his arm is broken, he will be seriously injured, and if his heart and head are broken, he will die.
No matter how strong the spiritual power is, it will quickly disappear without physical support.
Outside the palace.
A large group of generals in armor looked excitedly at the beautiful palace Qionglou not far away.
The experience along the way now feels like a dream when I think about it.
It went so well.
It was almost unbelievable.
Since ancient times, if you want to overthrow a dynasty, you don't know how much price you have to pay.
It must have been possible after batch after batch of rebels died, depleting the last traces of this dynasty.
Not to mention a dynasty like the Dafeng Dynasty that was in its heyday. As long as the emperor did not commit suicide, there was almost no possibility of such a dynasty being destroyed.
Take the Dafeng Dynasty's control over the states.
There was no room for rebellion.
Lian Honglian is a third-rate force that only has ordinary initiates.
They were all quickly destroyed by the Zhendao Secretary's layout, not to mention other slightly more conspicuous rebel forces.
There is no room for survival.
It's just that since the 'uprising', they have been on a smooth journey and have hardly encountered any decent resistance.
In a blink of an eye, they reached the capital.
I originally thought that conquering the national capital would be a fierce battle.
After all, after realizing that it could no longer resist, the Dafeng Dynasty had recalled all its forces to the capital as much as possible.
Plus the original heritage of the capital.
It can be said to be one of the most powerful forces in the world.
But at this time.
News of the death of Emperor Dafeng came.
And at the critical moment, all the Taoist Celestial Masters guarding the city were held back and suppressed.
The outside army rushed in with just one charge.
"Have we overthrown Dafeng?"
One of the rough-looking generals muttered to himself.
"Not us."
A middle-aged scribe glanced at the general, shook his head and said, "It's your lord."
"It was the Lord who overthrew the Great Feng Dynasty, and we were just following the Lord."
The middle-aged scribe added.
As soon as these words came out.
Many other generals rarely had any objections.
Those who can sit in their position naturally have good eyesight and judgment.
Since the army rebelled, it has been smooth sailing and they have not encountered any decent resistance.
Who do you rely on?
Isn’t it the Lord strategizing behind the scenes?
Without the Lord, they wouldn't have gotten here.
They can't even get out of their respective major states.
At the beginning of the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty, for a local army like them.
Heavy restrictions have already been put in place.
One state rebelled.
Neighboring states immediately sent troops to blockade the area.
The people in the capital took charge of the overall situation and carried out suppression.
This almost eliminated the possibility of a successful rebellion.
Unless the Dafeng Dynasty really enters its final stage, it will have no control over the states.
It's obviously still early days in this regard.
also.
They had just arrived outside the capital.
Then he heard the news of the emperor's death.
If this has nothing to do with the Lord, who can believe it?
Emperor Dafeng will die sooner or later.
To die just when they were about to have a decisive battle?
It can be said.
In this 'uprising' that overthrew the Dafeng Dynasty.
It was the Lord who really had the final say.
As long as the Lord is here, even if it is not them, even a dog can overthrow Dafeng.
If there is no Lord.
No matter how powerful their army was, they would not be able to enter the capital so easily.
"Where is the Lord now?"
The other general looked up.
After they entered the capital, they quickly took control of the city.
Then he stayed outside the palace, waiting for the Lord to come.
Entering the capital is not the same thing as entering the palace.
Only the latter means the real overthrow of the rule of the Dafeng Dynasty.
And they dare not bear this kind of achievement.
To be honest, everyone felt that they did not play much use in this 'uprising'.
It's not that they are incompetent, it's that they don't have any chance to perform at all.
"Just wait."
The middle-aged scribe glanced at the many generals and waited patiently.
No one dares to enter the palace without permission unless the Lord comes.
a certain street.
Lin Yuan looked lost in thought.
After killing Emperor Dafeng, Lin Yuan searched the palace again to make sure there was no second emperor hiding.
Then he went to the city head and suppressed the many Taoist Celestial Masters guarding the city head.
This allowed the army from outside to enter smoothly.
After doing all this.
Lin Yuan never joined the army.
Instead, he walked quietly on the streets of the capital.
The huge spiritual power covers a kilometer radius, and every bit of it can be felt.
Killing Emperor Dafeng, this time cycle world has not ended yet.
Lin Yuan easily deduced that he had killed Emperor Dafeng.
He is not the real Emperor Dafeng, he is most likely a puppet.
This puppet is definitely the work of the real Emperor Feng, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as many royal family members.
How could this scene have happened without the cooperation and acquiescence of the real emperor.
In the palace, so many heavenly masters who have entered the Taoism are not blind.
There will never be a scene where the emperor is quietly replaced.
That is to say.
The real Emperor Dafeng did not die.
The time loop test originates from the supreme rule.
Absolutely fair.
He said that he could pass the test by killing Emperor Dafeng.
That means it will definitely pass the test.
There is no possibility of changing the target midway.
"Why did the emperor specially cultivate a puppet to replace himself?"
Lin Yuan thought quickly in his mind.
Throughout the dynasties of this world, there have indeed been situations where emperors cultivated puppets and then replaced themselves in court.
Nana basically appeared in times of turmoil, when the power of the dynasty was unprecedentedly weak, and the emperor had no choice but to prevent many assassinations.
Before the uprising, the Dafeng Dynasty was at its peak. Even if Lin Yuan personally assassinated it, judging by the timeline, the assassination would most likely fail.
In this case, the emperor had no need to cultivate puppets at all.
You are absolutely safe, why would you train a puppet to replace you?
And even if you train a puppet, you will not be too far away from the puppet so that you can control the puppet at any time.
Lin Yuan had just explored the entire palace, and now he had basically explored the entire capital, and there was no trace of the second emperor.
In other words, the real emperor is probably not in the capital?
Cultivate a puppet emperor who is exactly like himself, and not completely control it, but also take the initiative to leave the capital?
Aren't you afraid that the puppet will turn into a real emperor?
In fact.
According to the information Lin Yuan has mastered over the past forty or fifty years.
There is actually no difference between this puppet emperor and the real emperor.
Basically, he also controlled all the military and political affairs of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have shot and killed the emperor the moment he saw him.
"The real Emperor Dafeng cultivated a puppet, but then disappeared, allowing this puppet emperor to become the real emperor?"
Lin Yuan looked a little strange.
Is it possible that the real great emperor doesn't want to be the emperor?
But if you really don’t want to be the emperor, you can simply abdicate and choose an emperor from among the royal heirs to take the throne?
It's not that troublesome at all.
Delegate power to the puppet emperor. Once the puppet emperor takes over the power.
He will definitely be murderous towards the true emperor.
unless
Lin Yuan was thoughtful.
Unless the real Emperor Dafeng already knew that someone wanted to kill him.
That's why the golden cicada escaped from its shell so quietly, leaving a nominal puppet to attract attention.
I don't know where I am hiding.
"Is this the real difficulty of the test within the time loop?"
"Has the other party already known that I want to kill the emperor?"
Lin Yuan concluded that this was the only way to explain the puppet emperor.
"And the real Emperor Dafeng also concluded that he is definitely not my opponent, so he has no intention of killing it in advance?"
Lin Yuan speculated deeply.
Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to abandon the throne and run away without even resisting.
Abandoning the throne of Da Feng and handing over the ninety-nine states to a puppet?
Not everyone has this kind of courage.
"For forty or fifty years, Emperor Dafeng's daily life has been under my supervision. Therefore, the replacement of the puppet must not have been carried out within these forty or fifty years. In other words, it was forty or fifty years ago?"
"And cultivating such a puppet that is almost identical to oneself cannot be achieved in a short time. It will take at least twenty or thirty years."
"Forty or fifty years, plus twenty or thirty years, seventy or eighty years? Is it close to the time when I come to this time cycle?"
Lin Yuan stopped.
Lines of illusory fonts flashed beneath his sight.
It's a certain timeline.
The owner of this timeline is the puppet emperor that Lin Yuan killed.
This time cycle world has an almost harsh suppression of the rules and regulations.
Lin Yuan was far from being able to establish cause and effect by reciting the other person's name, and then watching the other person's timeline through the cause and effect relationship.
Only by actively forming an important causal connection with the other party can you watch their timeline.
For example, the relationship between Lin Yuan and his third uncle allows him to actively view his future and past timeline.
When Lin Yuan took action to kill the puppet emperor, a key causal line was naturally established between the two.
However, due to the influence of the time loop world, the formation of the causal line takes time, and it has not been completely formed until now.
Lin Yuan also began to watch the past timeline of his puppet emperor through cause and effect.
The puppet emperor is dead, so naturally there is no future timeline.
Lin Yuan was watching the past timeline.
[A year ago, the Town and Dao Department sent information. The cause of the turmoil in the ninety-nine states today was found. They all originated from the Black Wind Village in Black Mountain. Kill, these thieves should be killed]
[Ten years ago, the concubine who was brought into the palace a few days ago tasted really good]
[Twenty years ago, when could I become a heavenly master? ?
[Thirty years ago, those veterans in the court deserved to die. Don’t be angry. I am the emperor now, so I can’t be angry.]
[Forty years ago, almost no one could tell whether I was the real emperor anymore]
[Fifty years ago, my master just found me and asked me to take his identity. However, my master’s identity turned out to be the emperor of Dafeng. Am I the emperor? ?
[Seventy years ago, if my master hadn’t found me, a beggar like me would have frozen to death. I must repay my master in the future]
Every bit of the puppet emperor's past was presented to Lin Yuan in the form of words.
Although certainly not all, after all, this ability to view the timeline is also greatly suppressed.
But through these written messages, Lin Yuan roughly understood everything he wanted to know.
"He is indeed a puppet emperor."
Lin Yuan looked slightly solemn, "The real Emperor Dafeng disappeared fifty years ago, and it was time to start cultivating the puppet emperor seventy years ago, which is the time when I came to this time cycle world. ”
Lin Yuan looked a little strange.
As soon as I arrived in this time loop world, the other party started to cultivate puppets?
What a coincidence.
If the real Emperor Dafeng knew in advance that he was going to kill him, there would be no way to stop him.
It should have been cultivated several years in advance. Why did it happen to be stuck at the time of his own arrival?
If Emperor Dafeng happened to know that he was going to kill him at the moment he arrived, even though he knew there was no possibility of resistance.
It’s not like he immediately cultivated puppets, there was no hesitation at all.
Maybe there was an element of coincidence, but Lin Yuan still felt it was too much of a coincidence.
"It's a pity that I have no contact with the real Emperor Feng. I can't establish the key causal relationship at all, and I can't observe the other party's timeline."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
He was able to observe the puppet emperor's timeline because he killed the opponent and produced important causes and effects.
But the real Emperor Dafeng? It disappeared fifty years ago. As for Lin Yuan fifty years ago, his strength was higher than that of ordinary Taoist Celestial Masters.
But he definitely doesn't have the strength to force his way into the Dafeng Palace.
Even if the scene today was known at that time, it would be impossible to take any measures to establish causality.
Even now, Lin Yuan only successfully entered the palace with the help of Lin Dajun's restraint.
"But it's not without gain."
"At least I know that the real emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty is still alive and hiding somewhere in the world. I just need to find him."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Immediately take a step forward.
In front of the palace.
Many military officers and scribes were waiting patiently.
Until Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"Meet the master."
Everyone immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan.
The more they reviewed the 'uprising', the more they realized how terrifying Lin Yuan was.
Dynasties in the past dynasties all died because of extreme weakness.
But the Dafeng Dynasty perished at its peak.
The source of everything is Lin Yuan.
With his own efforts, he laid out the ninety-nine states, and finally pushed the Dafeng Dynasty into the abyss step by step.
This kind of method, even if everyone on the scene is the Lord's confidant, is still shocked.
"Get up."
Lin Yuan glanced at the palace not far away and said casually.
He had already entered this palace and was not curious about it.
"The army invaded the city and didn't disturb the people."
Lin Yuan asked.
In launching the 'uprising' this time, Lin Yuan only targeted Emperor Dafeng.
He didn't have much ill will towards the common people, and even made special rules to capture cities and territories to minimize the impact on the common people.
The small countries surrounding Dafeng were basically infiltrated by Lin Yuan, and they never carried out any plundering behavior against the people during such turbulent times.
"Reporting to your lord, the soldiers have done nothing wrong."
One of the military commanders said immediately.
Mainly because the battle went so smoothly.
"Your Majesty, you are so dishonest. Your Majesty, you should create a new dynasty and rule the world again."
A counselor immediately spoke.
This is also inevitable.
Overthrow the old dynasty and establish a new dynasty.
It's completely logical.
It is also a necessary act to further expand the war.
"Um."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Now the real Emperor Dafeng is missing.
Lin Yuan also needs to use the power of the world to search for the other party's traces.
"I don't know what the new dynasty should be called."
the counselor asked tentatively.
"National title?"
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's call him Dayan."
During the third time traveling, Lin Yuan came to a world ruled by divine weapons and became the Prince of Dayan.
This time when a new dynasty was reestablished, Lin Yuan directly used Dayan's country title, saving the chance of choosing a new one.
"Dayan, okay, let's call it Dayan."
Many generals looked at each other with excited expressions.
When Dayan establishes the country, they will all be its founding heroes.
Next.
Lin Yuan issued a series of orders.
Used to stabilize the situation where the new dynasty was established.
Not to mention that he had the experience of being an emperor during his third time traveling.
Human civilization alone contains a large number of experiences and lessons from dynastic rule.
Lin Yuan is quite familiar with starting a new dynasty.
"besides."
Lin Yuan looked at the many generals and counselors, "Next, we will search for all the people and things related to the remnants of Dafeng. I will personally review all the information and clues."
The purpose of this order is for the real Emperor Feng who disappeared fifty years ago.
Unless the real Emperor Dafeng completely lives in seclusion, there is a high probability that he will still have contact with the outside world even if he is hiding somewhere in the world.
For example, daily necessities, etc.?
As long as there is an exchange with the outside world, clues will be left.
In this way, there is a possibility of discovery.
After the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Yuan will establish an intelligence organization specifically responsible for the search for the real Emperor Great Feng.
"yes."
Everyone nodded immediately.
They were not surprised that Lin Yuan was searching for the remnants of Da Feng.
The rulers of previous dynasties would basically purge the remnants of the previous royal family.
One is to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.
The second is that they have reached the point of rebellion, and there must be irreconcilable conflicts with the dynasty itself, such as deep hatred and so on.
The Dafeng dynasty fell.
The Great Yan Dynasty was established.
The replacement of old and new dynasties is for the people of the ninety-nine states in the world.
It didn't have much impact, mainly because the replacement of rulers was too quiet.
Lin Yuan devoted his efforts and planned the layout for seventy years, and has basically penetrated the entire Dafeng Dynasty.
The transfer of power between states was also extremely smooth, within Lin Yuan’s expectations.
Many ordinary people had just learned about the rebel army, and the next day they heard about the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The first year of Great Yan.
Taizu ascended the throne and stayed in the imperial palace.
Inside the palace.
The white-haired third uncle looked blankly at the beautiful palace Qionglou in front of him.
Next to him stood Lin Yuan with a smile on his face.
"this"
The white-haired third uncle fell into silence, looking unbelievable.
The Dafeng dynasty was really overthrown.
The leader's son established a new dynasty called 'Dayan'?
This, this, this.
The white-haired third uncle was a little frightened.
Even though he had known for a long time that Lin Yuan would definitely soar into the sky.
But overthrowing the Dafeng dynasty?
And establish a new dynasty?
"Young Master, am I not dreaming?"
The gray-haired third uncle murmured to himself.
"Of course it's not a dream."
Lin Yuan said with a smile.
At present, the only person who can be called a relative in this reincarnation world is the third uncle.
"It's the first year of Great Yan."
Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Yes, in the first year of Great Yan, I was not dreaming."
The third uncle grinned and said, "I didn't expect that I, Lu San, would be able to see the day when the young master will start a new dynasty."
"It's a pity that brother can't see it anymore."
The third uncle's expression darkened. The eldest brother he mentioned was the former leader of the Red Lotus Sect.
That is, Lin Yuan's father in this physical body.
If it weren't for the leader of the Red Lotus Sect who used his own life to drag down all the Taoists from the Zhendao Division.
He and his third uncle had no chance of escaping.
"When we break through the time loop, we can try to 'resurrect' everyone again."
Lin Yuan thought in his heart.
He wasn't sure about this either.
After all, time cycle time is theoretically a cyclic world formed under the operation of supreme rules.
No one knows whether the life inside has ever existed.
None of the thirteenth-level time beings that Lin Yuan came into contact with had the practice of resurrecting lives within the time cycle.
In the time loop world, everything experienced is a dream.
Which of the thirteenth-level time beings has not practiced for a long time, and has basically a weak sense of so-called family affection.
But Lin Yuan is different.
He started on the path of evolution until now.
Not too long passed.
It's still more emotional.
If time within the resurrection time loop is just a matter of convenience.
Lin Yuan would really consider resurrection.
One month later.
The gray-haired third uncle passed away.
There was nothing Lin Yuan could do about it, no matter how hard he tried to sort out his third uncle's energy and blood.
But Third Uncle himself was unable to master the circulation of Qi and blood as perfectly as Lin Yuan.
To live to be close to one hundred and thirty years old is extremely incredible.
"Everyone who can be called my relatives and old friends is dead."
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, "You are the only one left, Emperor Dafeng."
Now Lin Yuan's only old friend in this world is Emperor Dafeng.
Two months later.
Underground in the original capital of Dafeng.
This is the Earth Fire Cave with the most abundant Earth Fire in the ninety-nine states in the world.
It is also the holy place that all casters in the world dream of.
Before the Great Yan was established, this Earth Fire Cave was controlled by the previous dynasty.
Now this underground fire cave has been blocked by many forbidden troops.
The original casters were kneeling on the spot shivering.
Just then.
A figure walked in slowly.
It was Lin Yuan.
"I have met His Majesty."
"I have met His Majesty."
All the casters kowtowed tremblingly.
"Everyone, get up."
Lin Yuan did not embarrass these casters and glanced around, "I remember that all the primitive gold collected by Da Fengchao is stored here."
The original divine gold is the hardest metal in the world, and it is also the raw material that Taizu of the Dafeng Dynasty wanted to cast Jiuding.
Due to the hardness of the original divine gold, it would take a lot of time to melt it and cast it. It would take at least a hundred years to completely melt the fist-sized original fine gold.
Therefore, every time the Dafeng Dynasty collected a bit of primitive divine gold, it was immediately sent to this underground fire cave to be melted, so that in the future, enough primitive divine gold could be collected to cast the Jiuding in a short time.
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
The teeth of one of the leading casters were chattering, "Since I took over this Earth Fire Cave, I have never found the original divine gold."
"Yeah?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the other party, and the causal relationship between the two was formed, and he began to observe his past timeline.
After confirming that the other party was not lying, Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Who was the last person in charge of this underground fire cave?"
After leaving the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Yuan began to thoroughly investigate all traces in the palace related to the real Emperor Da Feng.
By observing the timelines one by one, Lin Yuan quickly noticed the 'missing' of the original fine gold.
That's right.
All the original fine gold collected by the Da Feng Dynasty was gone.
"Yes, it's my grandpa"
An older caster took courage and said.
"Where is your grandfather now?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"Disappeared. My grandfather suddenly disappeared seventy years ago."
The foundry master said truthfully: "I was still young at the time, and I also learned about this from my father. My father also disappeared not long after."
"Seventy years ago?"
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.
Combined with other information he found, it was almost certain.
The disappearance of all the original divine gold of the Dafeng Dynasty is related to the real Dafeng emperor that Lin Yuan wanted to find.
Because the original divine gold disappeared about seventy years ago, when all the casters in this Earth Fire Cave also disappeared.
It wasn't until the Earth Fire Cave was reopened thirty years ago that new casters came in.
Secondly, the original divine gold has the decree of Da Feng Taizu. Who can use it except Da Feng, the current emperor?
"Emperor Dafeng, what did you use so much primitive divine gold to cast?"
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, while several speculations came to his mind.
These speculations gave Lin Yuan a new understanding of the missing real Emperor Dafeng.
Return to the palace.
Lin Yuan issued the order again.
There is a reward for any large piece of raw fine gold, and the discoverer will be knighted and rewarded with 10,000 gold.
At the same time, Lin Yuan himself began to travel around the world, looking for traces of the original divine gold.
The disappearance of all the original divine gold in the Earth Fire Cave was at the hands of the real Emperor Feng.
There's definitely a big connection between the two.
If you can find these lost primitive gold.
It is estimated that we can find Emperor Dafeng who has disappeared for fifty years.
Time passes slowly.
In the blink of an eye, eighty years later.
