"Please ask the true king to ascend to the throne, defeat the violent Jin Dynasty, and bring peace to the troubled times!"
The mighty voice resounded throughout the hall, and everyone shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder.
Chen Yuan stood at the top, looking down at everyone below, with a faint smile on his lips. After going through so many hardships, he finally... finally reached this point!
Yes, these people were not forcing Chen Yuan to become king at all. From beginning to end, it was all his arrangements behind the scenes.
Otherwise, with his current prestige.
How could someone dare to do something secretly?
The first person to shout for Chen Yuan to be the king was Tianxu Taoist from Taixu Palace, and he actually arrived secretly on the second day after Chen Yuan returned to Shuzhou City.
After that, the first thing was to meet Chen Yuan.
When Chen Yuan met Taoist Tianxu in secret, he just turned his back to him and said:
"The time has come, it's time to become king!"
This is where everything today comes from.
In fact, with Chen Yuan's strength, he had long been able to become king, but at the beginning, he wanted to hide his power and bide his time, letting others fight for life and death outside, while he reaped the benefits.
Therefore, I am not enthusiastic about becoming king.
But everything is changing. Chen Yuan, who did not want to be king, was targeted by Jingtai. No matter whether it was the previous decree or the subsequent attack on Chenjiacun, he could not tolerate it any longer.
In addition to the murderous intention against Jingtai, he found that except for him, there seemed to be no one in the world who could expose Jingtai's conspiracy, let alone prevent him from consolidating the status of Human Emperor.
Therefore, Chen Yuan took action directly.
The battle at Purple Mountain completely shocked the world and kicked off the downfall of the imperial court. He had already stepped onto the stage, and now, more than half a month had passed since he left for the East China Sea.
Although the Central Plains continues to be in chaos, most of the forces are still restraining themselves and have not directly shouted out rebellion. Chen Yuan knows what they are thinking.
It's just that he wants to be the one who stands out.
That being the case, let’s do it!
The power of Shushan, Dao Shen Palace, Taixu Palace, and the entire Shuzhou, with nearly ten true kings under his command, and real people at the level of soul refining, has exceeded the number of two palms.
And he has not only reached the level of spiritual power, but also transformed his soul into Yang, breaking through the realm of Yang God. He has also reached the peak of his cultivation directly in the process of breakthrough.
Currently, all he lacks is the power of rules.
If you take into account his advantages in soul and body, he is actually no worse than the top three on the Heavenly Ranking, and is enough to compete with them.
What else does he lack?
What else do you need to cover up?
Even if he is covering it up, don't others know his strength?
Therefore, when he was facing death and survived the ninth thunder tribulation, he changed his mind. Since he couldn't cover it up, he simply wouldn't cover it up.
Just raise the flag to rebel!
Officially come to the front of the world and start fighting for world domination!
However, even though he had made his decision, Chen Yuan still needed the support of others to make his decision more justified, so he secretly informed Taoist Tianxu.
Only himself.
Because that's enough.
Just like now, when Taoist Tianxu called out to be king, others immediately understood that it was Chen Yuan who was signaling from behind, and that was why they were so excited.
It was as if he was afraid that if he took a step too late, he would be disliked by Chen Yuan.
The sound in Xantian Hall rang three times in a row before it stopped. Everyone who was bowing below also became silent at this time and raised their heads to look at Chen Yuan.
Their attitude has been revealed. Next, it depends on Chen Yuan's answer.
Chen Yuan let out a long breath and slowly shook his head:
"How can Chen Yuan be so virtuous and capable as to be king? This matter... is inappropriate..."
The uncontrollable smile on Taoist Tianxu's lips quickly turned into a serious one, and he said in a deep voice:
"The true king has the popularity of tens of millions of people in Shuzhou. He should shoulder the responsibility of calming down the troubled times. Why can't he shoulder the responsibility?"
Shangguan Tiehong secretly cursed Taoist Tianxu and lost his face. A dignified Immortal Sect leader actually fought for his life. However, he only made a few slanders in his heart. On the surface, he showed a hint of approval and said in a condensed voice:
"Taoist Master Tianxu is right. It is the people's aspiration for the True Lord to become king, and it is the general trend. True Lord, you might as well go outside and see what the people say."
There is no doubt about this. In addition to transferring the army and other forces from Tangshan, Chen Yuan also brought over the public opinion team he cultivated.
Shangguan Tiehong is currently in charge. During the time when Chen Yuan broke through in the East China Sea, these public opinion teams had dispersed to various parts of Shuzhou.
It caused quite a stir.
Chen Yuan's reputation is not small to begin with. With deliberate promotion, he is almost very popular among the people. If he really goes outside to look, everyone will definitely be yearning for his voice.
As for those who doubt...
It has long been submerged in the ocean of common people.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate..."
Chen Yuan frowned, seeming to be hesitating.
Shangguan Yu, the son of Chen Yuan's 'good brother' Shangguan Tiehong, immediately echoed his father and said loudly:
"Everyone knows the merits of the True King, but today the world is in chaos, all heroes have risen together, and the people are in dire straits. They are in the midst of fire and water, and it is exactly in need of the True King to come out and save the people."
Zhang Xuan: "My brother, please ask the true king to become the king and put an end to the troubled times."
"Please call the true king the king and bring peace to the troubled times!"
"Please call the true king the king and bring peace to the troubled times!"
Everyone shouted in unison again.
Chen Yuan was still frowning, but he was counting the time in his heart. When he counted to ten, a voice of surprise suddenly came from outside.
"Sir, my subordinate has something important to report!"
"Open the door."
Chen Yuan seemed puzzled and ordered.
Someone immediately went to open the door of the Tianxian Division Hall, and outside, they were some of Chen Yuan's early subordinates in Nanling Mansion, Mo Donghe, Li Dongshan, Zhao Beishan, and Shi Yi, the named disciple that Chen Yuan had promised. .
Several people bowed and knelt on one knee outside the hall, asking to see Chen Yuan.
"What happened?"
Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Yue Shan looked at Chen Yuan with awe and said quickly:
"Sir, a giant turtle with a height of one hundred feet has appeared in the river ten miles outside the south city. Now, the people in the city have gathered outside to watch, and my subordinates are afraid that the giant turtle will hurt people.
Please send someone to kill the demon! "
"What, this happened?"
Chen Yuan took a breath of cold air, a look of solemnity appeared on his face, and he glanced at the people below and said:
"We will discuss the matter of becoming king later. Now, you all follow me to slay the monsters! Never allow the people in my Shuzhou city to be harmed because of a trivial matter!"
"I obey my orders!"
"I obey my orders!"
"I obey my orders!"
Everyone said yes, and then Taoist Tianxu waved his hand, and a white mist appeared on the ground, lifting everyone up and slowly heading towards the river outside the city.
...
...
There is a river in Shuzhou, named Lijiang.
It borders Dujiangyan in central Shu to the east and Guangling River in Guangling Fuzhong to the north. Although it is not a big river, it is definitely not small. It is a water source for the people of Shuzhou City.
At this moment, countless curious people were standing on the bank of Lijiang River, looking at the behemoth in the river with frightened faces. It was like a small mountain, giving them a huge sense of oppression.
"Hiss! This must be the big demon in Southern Xinjiang. Why did it come to our Shuzhou? Could it be that Nanzhou has fallen?"
"I just want to know, what exactly is this giant turtle carrying on its back? Why have I never heard of rumors of a giant turtle carrying a mountain? It's really strange..."
"Well... I just want to ask, didn't someone in Lijiang discover a gold mine and come to pick up gold nuggets?"
"What? Didn't you say that someone in Lijiang spread money?"
"What? I heard that an ancient ruins appeared here, so I came to join in the fun..."
A small murmur of discussion arose.
Because of various reasons, whether it is money and common things, natural treasures, or ancient ruins, almost half of the martial arts warriors and common people in Shuzhou City have been attracted here.
But when they arrived, they found that there was nothing but a giant turtle that was as big as a mountain, hanging on the water with a mountain on its back.
As for the reason...
Naturally, it was also instructed by Chen Yuan.
On both sides of the Lijiang River, countless soldiers in armor and stomach and patrol guards surrounded the giant turtle, nervously wary of the giant turtle in the river.
For fear that he would go crazy and affect them.
Next to the giant turtle, they are not much bigger than ants. They may trample a large area to death with one step, but the superiors have issued a death order and do not allow the giant turtle to come ashore and affect the people.
They can only fight hard.
Everyone on the bank of the Lijiang River was in panic, while the giant turtle in the Lijiang River narrowed its eyes in boredom, sucking in the vitality of the world.
A faint glow began to gradually appear.
Soon, a fairy cloud appeared in the sky, and above it stood Chen Yuan and a large number of people who had previously forced the palace into Xuntian Hall. Except for a few people, everyone was shocked.
Because in their perception, the aura of this behemoth is very powerful, and the blood energy is more terrifying than the rivers. It is definitely an existence that can rival the great sage of the demon clan.
Why did it suddenly appear here?
At this moment, Chen Yuan didn't know when he put on a unique black gilt armor, with a bright red cloak behind him, making him look extremely heroic.
Holding the emperor's butcher's knife, he stepped into the void step by step and stared at the giant turtle.
What follows is very rhythmic, with voices suddenly coming from all directions:
"It's Mr. Chen Yuanchen, the Marquis of Wu'an. We are saved!"
"It's Mr. Chen who killed the faint king Jingtai in the capital!"
"Master Chen is here, we don't need to be afraid."
"Yes, I heard that Master Chen is extremely powerful and mighty. He is the strongest person in the world. This giant turtle is definitely no match for Master Chen."
"Hiss, it's True Lord Shura!"
Some people looked at the figure in the void and immediately took a breath of cold air and exclaimed: "It is indeed the fourth existence in the world, and its aura is so terrifying!"
"So... so strong!"
"Didn't you say that Lord Shura is practicing in seclusion? Could it be that he came out of seclusion specifically for the safety of us untouchables? The old man has never seen such an official who loves the people like his own son in his life..."
A series of exclamations and exclamations began to spread.
But no one noticed that those who shouted out were basically positioned very cleverly, as if one person controlled an area, very rhythmically.
Under their leadership, discussions about Chen Yuan quickly began.
He was originally a 'celebrity', and once he was mentioned, he completely obscured everyone's light. Of course, those who saw all this would not dare to compete with him.
Taoist Master Lingxu, the headmaster of Shushan, glanced at Taoist Tianxu thoughtfully and shook his head slowly.
Jiang He and Chu Changfeng glanced at each other subconsciously. They didn't expect Chen Yuan to actually perform this kind of operation. Not to mention... the effect was really good.
Ignoring the discussion below, Chen Yuan frowned, stared at the giant turtle below, and scolded:
"What kind of evildoer dares to invade my realm? Scared the people of Shuzhou?"
The giant turtle raised its head, seemingly energized, and roared into the void. Bright rays of light emitted from the hills behind it and shot straight into the sky.
It stirred up a radius of dozens of miles.
The vitality of heaven and earth surged, and the endless colorful brilliance painted an extremely magnificent picture in the sky.
"Kacha...Kacha..."
Tiny sounds sounded from the hill behind the giant turtle. Pieces of gravel began to fall off, and the light shone brighter and brighter, almost competing with the sun.
The dazzling light made the people and warriors watching below subconsciously cover their eyes with their arms at this moment. They did not dare to put it down until the light gradually faded.
And they suddenly discovered that the hill that the giant turtle was originally carrying suddenly changed. It turned from a hill into a huge stone wall.
On the stone wall, there are six large characters used by Fangzheng Qianchu.
Some people were confused and looked at the people around them and asked:
"What are the words on the stone wall?"
Someone quickly answered:
"I recognize it. This is a word that was used in the past."
"What are you writing about?"
"Da Chuxing...Chen Yuan...Wang..."
"Great Chu Xing? King Chen Yuan!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Hiss, this is a natural phenomenon. Does this mean that Mr. Chen is appointed by fate and can claim to be the king?"
"Exactly, exactly..."
Waves of commotion sounded constantly following these six words.
Chen Yuan pointed at the giant turtle and asked:
"What does this mean? Who are you?"
The giant turtle raised its head, looked up at Chen Yuan, and spoke in human words:
"I have lived in the East China Sea for hundreds of years, and I have been sleeping for hundreds of years. When I woke up a few days ago, I found that a mountain had grown up behind me, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
Fortunately, God guided me to let me know that I came to Shuzhou to look for a destined person. As soon as you showed up, you aroused the reaction of the mountains. I dare to ask, is this Chen Yuan at your feet? "
Chen Yuan nodded, nodded and said:
"This is Chen Yuan."
The giant turtle nodded, laid its head on the water, and continued to speak loudly:
"You are the one destined by fate. It is time for you to be promoted to the king at this time. You can put an end to the troubled times and save all the people from the fire and water. I respectfully invite you to proclaim yourself the king!"
There was silence between heaven and earth.
Then Taoist Tianxu immediately said:
"The true king is destined by destiny, he should be crowned king, defeat the violent Jin Dynasty, and bring peace to the troubled times!"
Everyone followed closely behind and said in unison:
"The true king is destined by destiny, he should be crowned king, defeat the violent Jin Dynasty, and bring peace to the troubled times!"
Then, all the soldiers and military guards on the bank of the Lijiang River knelt down on one knee and bowed:
"The true king is destined by destiny, he should be crowned king, defeat the violent Jin Dynasty, and bring peace to the troubled times!"
After that, the people behind the military guards also began to fall down, and began to worship sincerely towards the figure standing in the void:
"My lord, please be king, save me from the danger of fire and water!"
"My lord, please be king, save me from the danger of fire and water!"
"My lord, please be king, save me from the danger of fire and water!"
"True Lord, please don't refuse... Otherwise, I might hurt the hearts of the people of Shuzhou." Taoist Tianxu said again.
"Yeah yeah...."
Chen Yuan sighed lightly, nodded, and said:
"Chen is not talented, but fortunately you all follow him and the people support him. From today on, Chen declares himself king. From now on, he vows to destroy Jin, restore Chu, and calm the troubled times.
Since the chaos in this world started with me, Chen Yuan, it should also end with me, Chen Yuan! "
"Dare to be the true king, what is the title?"
Shangguan Yu took a step ahead of Master Xiantianxu and immediately asked.
Chen Yuan stared into the distance and continued:
"Chen is a descendant of the Chen family of the Great Chu. His grandfather is the General of the Great Chu, Yan Shenhou Chen Tianche. As a descendant, he should inherit the aspirations of his ancestors.
From today on, I am... King Yan! "
"Greetings to His Highness King Yan!"
"Greetings to His Highness King Yan!"
"Greetings to His Highness King Yan!"
...
Asking for a monthly ticket!
Let’s establish Yan first. Later, after the country is officially established, we can talk about other things.
