Chapter 741 - - 549 Chaos World_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The Waters of the Milky Way jumbled the banquet, but now no one cared about this disappointing event, as everyone had plunged into revelry.

Voices declaring “the Human Race shall prosper” and “Heaven bless the Human Race” were endless.

The Capital City God, Zong Bing, focused his gaze on the direction from where the scholars had summoned the Milky Way a moment ago, casting a puzzled look towards the Day Roaming God leader Meng Daonian, and silently asked, “Is it the Literary Heart?”

Meng Daonian frowned and shook his head in reply, “I can’t be sure. If someone applied a technique, there should be traces. Neither His Majesty the Human Emperor nor the two True Immortals made a move.”

Zong Bing was stunned for a moment, then looking at Duge, who was surrounded and flattered by everyone, he sighed softly, “Great chaos is about to begin!”

…

The shill arranged by Duge was named Meng Wenxuan.

At the abdication ceremony, he was bestowed by Duge the title of “Literary Heart Divine Gift,” his stele recorded in history books as “the dawn of the Human Race’s revival,” destined to be famous for all time.

Apart from the Minister of Rites and the person involved, nobody knew the truth.

At that time.

This was what Duge said when he entered the Ministry of Rites Mansion, “… The Human Race shall rise. The seal the Immortal Emperor placed on the Human Race’s fortune is exceedingly robust. We need a false Literary Heart to boost the Human Race’s confidence, mobilize their fortune, and with it, assault the Immortal Emperor’s seal. The stronger the people’s will, the greater their fortune, breaking through the Immortal Emperor’s seal, allowing the Human Race to flourish in the world.”

Then.

Duge and the Minister of Rites planned this premeditated descent of auspicious signs from heaven…

…

When Duge ascended the throne and sat upon the imperial seat, worshipped by the crowd, he clearly saw a shadow of a Golden Dragon appear over the tri-unity Nascent Soul within him.

The Golden Dragon circled his Nascent Soul, constantly spiraling, as if it wanted to enwrap his body but dared not come close due to the awe of Divine Power.

Yet Duge’s Nascent Soul seemed to exude a fatal attraction to it; despite its fear, it determinedly guarded close to the Nascent Soul—a peculiar sight.

Is this the legendary Dragon Vein Protection?

Duge tried to mobilize the Divine Power in his body, channeling a portion of it towards the Dragon Vein.

The moment the Divine Power entered the Dragon Vein, the phantom of the Golden Dragon trembled violently. Its body seemed to solidify a great deal at that moment, and its movement became even more vigorous.

To the outside world, at the moment Duge transferred Divine Power to the Dragon Vein, a huge phantom of a Golden Dragon suddenly emerged above him, circled once above the Jinluan Hall, and then re-entered his body.

Both commoners and Cultivators witnessed this miraculous scene.

Cheers rose again.

At that moment, the people’s hearts were supremely aligned.

Apart from the dethroned old Emperor’s family, who were in complete despair, everyone was convinced that Duge was the reincarnation of the Human Emperor and that his position was legitimate.

After all.

The abdication was just a ceremony, but the protection of the royal family by the Dragon Vein was an inheritance of ten thousand years. The Dragon Vein especially manifesting and entering the body of the Human Emperor was unprecedented. If this wasn’t legitimacy, then what were the previous emperors?

…

Witnessing the manifestation of the Dragon Vein.

The trembling historian’s pen recorded this magnificent event in the annals: “In the twenty-seventh year of Zhengyuan’s reign, the Human Emperor Inheritance appeared in the world, Emperor Zhengyuan abdicated to the new Human Emperor, who is unnamed, and decreed the era ‘Kaiyuan.’ Upon his ascension, the Literary Heart was rekindled, the Milky Way hung inverted in the world, the Dragon Vein was revealed, and the Human Race shall prosper.”

…

In the following days.

Duge took over the affairs of New Moon Country and began promoting Literary and Martial Hearts with all his might. He published works such as “Exhortation to Study Chapter” and “Exhortation to Study Poem” in the name of the Human Emperor, helping scholars and warriors to study diligently in hopes of awakening their Literary Hearts and Martial Gall soon.

He also established the Bureau of New Poetry to encourage the creation of new poems and verses.

As long as new works were selected by the Bureau of New Poetry, they would immediately be reviewed by literary giants, and if rated as first-class, the court would promote them through official channels to help the poet gain fame;

The emergence of the Bureau of New Poetry greatly inspired the literati of New Moon Country, and poems and verses were created one after another, delivered to the Bureau…

Established at the same time as the Bureau was the Heroic Hall.

The Heroic Hall created the Hidden Dragon List, the Prodigy List, the Dragon and Phoenix List, and other rankings. These lists categorized the Samurai of New Moon Country by age and ranked them based on their battle achievements, with the primary goal of encouraging martial artists to awaken their Martial Gall early;

…

“Learning must not cease,” “Having read thousands of volumes, writing comes as if by divine inspiration,” “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but you cannot buy an inch of time with an inch of gold,” “In youth, one does not know the value of study; in old age, one regrets studying too late” >-these classic quotes from Earth, with the help of Cultivators, quickly spread among the people.

That’s right.

The various Cultivator factions were completely used by Duge as messengers, for the promotion and collection of various documents.

Working alongside the Cultivators on this task were various local City Gods, Day and Night Roaming Gods. Possessing South Peak Emperor’s Token made driving these Yin Gods all too easy.

The local City Gods also provided Duge with ironclad evidence of corruption and brutality of officials from all over.

Previously, the saying “there are deities three feet above one’s head” was merely decorative, but after the new Human Emperor’s ascension, he directly mobilized the resources of the Yin Gods—no crime could hide. Duge, based on the severity of the criminal’s offense, employed the most cruel punishments:

Disembowelment, execution by chariot, castration, branding with hot irons, sawing, gut extraction, flogging…

Moreover.

These sentences were carried out publicly. According to the Human Emperor, the Mortal Realm harbored filth, and only severe punishments could rectify the morals and publicize the consequences…

The two skills of exhortation had already been awakened, but the second, more savage skill had not yet appeared.

More skills, more options. Duge didn’t want to harm good people, but why wouldn’t he dare to punish the wicked?
