Chapter 812 - - 575 The History-Recording Human Emperor

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Duge was skilled at swift attacks, striking before anyone could react and accomplishing his goals swiftly and efficiently.

If one didn’t keep up with his pace, they would be left behind.

And if one passively responded to his tempo, they would be led by the nose.

As long as Duge’s speed was fast enough, the flaws in his plan became non-issues.

By the time his opponents realized there was a flaw, Duge had already fixed it.

The time difference between the Immortal Court and the Mortal Realm, with the former being a hundred times slower, magnified Duge’s advantage.

Duge was already fast, and you slowed down your reaction by a hundredfold.

Who else but you would lose?

The three Ziwei Emperors were deliberately sent out by Duge.

First, it was to establish his image as a magnanimous individual devoted to public welfare;

When dealing with others, a purely selfish person can never be trusted.

But someone willing to sacrifice themselves for the public good is different, as even if you disagree with his methods, deep down, you can’t help but admire his character.

Secondly, it was to pass on the big black pot;

Words alone are not proof, and no matter how much he propagated about the Immortal Emperor oppressing and enslaving the Human Race, most people would remain skeptical.

Ancient affairs are too distant, so remote they seem to have no connection to present populations, making it hard for one to empathize with distant ancestors.

But when backed by facts, it’s a different story.

The Taixuan Emperor caused rampant slaughter in the Mortal Realm, and in times of crisis, the Human Emperor set aside past differences and sent his most capable assistant out, hoping to join forces against a common enemy, yet you chose to stand by idly and even detained the envoy.

The Emperors, who defended three great continents for over a million years, were substantial enough stakes…

…

If Ziwei Emperor and the others actually managed to bring back reinforcements, that would be part of another plan.

Sacrificing three Emperors to unify the entire Human Race was a trade worth making from any angle.

…

Throughout this time, Duge pursued the policy of “you fighting your battles, I’m playing my game,” with everything centered around increasing his own strength.

Thus.

Duge completely disregarded the battle between Mount Sumeru and Xianyou True Monarch, focusing instead on compiling history in the Eastern Polar Continent, planning to undermine them from the roots.

The new history began with the creation of heaven and earth and narrated up to the recent Demon Immortal Calamity…

Through it, Duge perfected the Saints’ cultivation methods, linked the connections between several major catastrophes and the Twilight Calamity, framed the Immortal Emperor with conspiracies, and detailed the rise and fall of the Human Race;

It was a colossal undertaking, prone to flaws if not careful.

However, Duge had at his disposal a plethora of myths from Earth and a treasury of novel and intriguing stories and concepts created by online novelists.

With his extraordinary spiritual power, integrating these materials into one coherent and logical story was all too easy.

Every story Duge had fabricated before was showcased in the new historical records.

Including the suppression of the Heavenly Demon by the Daoist Ancestor and so on.

In these records, the status and strength of the Human Emperor were also infinitely enhanced, while Daoist Ancestor, Immortal Emperor, Underworld Emperor, Demon Emperor, and other powerful beings were likewise given weaknesses by Duge in the records.

For instance, the Daoist Ancestor, who had achieved sainthood, was forcefully given a flaw by Duge, suggesting that just as he attained sainthood, the Immortal Emperor plotted against the Human Emperor, unsettling the fortunes of heaven and earth, resulting in an incomplete sanctification of his saintly body.

During the Twilight Calamity, he would be weaker than anyone else…

…

In summary, the historical records compiled by Duge strived to be reasonable, empathetic, and logical, involving elements like reincarnation, rebirth, conspiracies, and karma…

Upon reading, one would immediately believe these were actual events that had indeed occurred.

Duge aimed to test the true limits of “Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth” through revising history.

…

The revision of history took about two days.

In the end, Duge named this great historical work “True History of the Three Realms.”

Once the compilation was complete, what remained were printing and dissemination.

Duge didn’t need to worry about that; he simply had to use his ability to move instantaneously to deliver the “True History of the Three Realms” to the Five Great Continents, leaving it to the governments, Yin Gods, and Cultivators of each continent to spread it.

Even with the systematic help of the Yin Gods in transportation, Duge figured it would take at least ten days to half a month to truly see effects.

This was the best-case scenario he had calculated, assuming that the entire “True History of the Three Realms” was captivating and conducive to spreading.

If the true history had been made abstruse and difficult to understand, spreading it would undoubtedly be challenging.

To promote efficiency in dissemination, Duge specifically established the Propaganda Department directly under the Human Emperor in each continent, with the position of History Speaker created within.

History Speakers were scholarly individuals who delved into towns and villages, narrating “True History of the Three Realms” to the illiterate populace, ostensibly to mobilize the cohesiveness of the Human Race.

In reality, Duge was simply concerned that the speed of the spread of “True History of the Three Realms” wasn’t fast enough, which might affect the performance of “Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth.”

Released concurrently with “True History of the Three Realms” was the “Human Daily,” also published by the Propaganda Department.

Its main content included new policies announced by the Human Emperor, the confirmation of various lords, updates on the numbers of “Literary and Martial Hearts,” the spread of new war poems, the state of warfare across the Three Realms, and so on.

…

Once “True History of the Three Realms” was disseminated, wherever there were humans, its ancient tales—truly captivating—became a topic of discussion.

…

“The Immortal Emperor is despicable, conspiring with Daoist Ancestor to rob the Human Race of Spiritual Energy, hindering its rise, forcibly taking the spiritual veins to the Immortal Realm, leaving only the Dragon Vein to the Human Race.”
