Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his seat again and restrained all the domineering power he had just displayed.
It was as if what just happened didn't exist at all.
A cold glint flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by her.
She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down.
She understood very well that the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were like grasshoppers tied on a rope. They could not do without the support and help of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty also needed their allies, the overall strength of the Ming Dynasty was stronger. Judging from the reports sent back from the front line, its overall strength was stronger than she imagined, so Daming didn't really have no other choice.
"Your Majesty...!" Di Renjie called with worry on his face.
Although the priority in his heart was that the Human Emperor was higher than the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he did not expect that the Human Emperor would be so tough and show such strength when he came up.
In his opinion, this is a very dangerous thing, which will cause irreparable cracks in the alliance between Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty.
"I'm fine!"
Although she felt extremely aggrieved and wanted to immediately ask someone to cut the guy in front of her into pieces, she knew that it was impossible for her to do so. Not only could she not do it, but she also had to try her best to ease the conflict between the two parties and strive to get more from Daming. Many benefits.
As Zhu Yuanzhang said, from the time she accepted the gift from Ming Dynasty, there was no second way to go.
"Emperor Tang, in fact, we are not enemies. I am the Human Emperor, the Human Emperor of the Three Realms. I have no conflict with you, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. We have common interests. We both hope that the human race in the Three Realms can become stronger, and we both hope that we can The Heavenly Court, which has been suppressing the development of the human race for a hundred thousand years, has been defeated, so you don't have to worry that I will take away your rights. My eyes are not on you, what I see is the entire Three Realms."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again. Although his voice was calm, Wu Zetian could clearly hear the domineering tone contained in it.
Although she wanted to refute, Wu Zetian didn't say much. He knew very well that Datang had no say in front of Heaven, and still had no say in front of Ming.
The only difference is that it is still an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. The power of the entire Tang Dynasty is developing in an orderly manner, and under the rule of the Heavenly Court, there will be no changes in the southern states for a hundred thousand years.
She was not willing to be like the emperors of the Li and Tang dynasties in the past, becoming a puppet in heaven. Any god who descended to earth would have to kneel down and worship, so in fact, her choice was already destined.
"I agreed!"
"The Ming Dynasty is solely responsible for handling the affairs of these sects and families in the Tang Dynasty. The sects and families and their own heritage can all belong to the Ming Dynasty, but we need weapons and equipment, enough to arm our half a million people. Equipment, including your military flag."
Wu Zetian said with piercing eyes.
That kind of military flag is the core thing of the Ming Dynasty's army. It is like the sea of qi of the monks and the sea of consciousness of the immortal. It can merge the people within the range of the military flag into a whole, forming a powerful joint force. This is why the Ming Dynasty army relies on The reason is that the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm can generally fight against the Earthly Immortal.
As for the heritage of those families and sects, to be honest, since Ming Dynasty has been fully responsible for it, it is impossible for others to leave good things to Tang Dynasty. She is very self-aware about this.
"certainly!"
"This is what we will do next!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled on his face.
Although it was somewhat different from what he had expected, he finally achieved his intended goal, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel quite good.
As for the specific details, as well as the pulling and communication in specific cooperation, this is not something he needs to care about. Daming will naturally send capable people to take charge of all this in the future.
For Wu Zetian, Ming Dynasty was extremely mysterious.
The opponent's manpower and materials seem to be endless, and they can't be used up no matter how they are used. The space passage in Chang'an City has almost never stopped these days. A large number of materials and people will enter the Tang Dynasty every day, and then quickly disappear in the Tang Dynasty. In the vast territory of the empire.
Wu Zetian saw these things and envied them in her heart.
She is really envious of Ming's powerful decision-making and organizational abilities. This ability is what makes Ming more powerful than the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, as a qualified emperor, she naturally does not just watch. During this period, she has also done a lot of things.
Because she didn't have to worry about domestic families and sects holding her back, Wu Zetian had focused almost all of her energy on training her troops during this period.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not break his promise. Not only did he successively deliver the equipment for the 500,000 people he had promised, he even sent a hundred aircraft, which were said to be the most advanced power armors in the Ming Dynasty that were similar to full-body armor.
In the words of Emperor Zhu, as long as the driver is skilled in driving this type of power armor, even an ordinary person can drive it to fight a true immortal.
This kind of thing sounds exaggerated, but after Wu Zetian saw it, she had to sigh with emotion. The Ming Dynasty is really a magical place, and even such things that subvert common sense can be produced.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
For Tianting, only half a day has passed, but the entire Nanzhan Prefecture has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Just seven days ago, sixty-two families and seventy-three sects in the Tang Empire were attacked at the same time. The attackers were clever and powerful, and they were extremely familiar with these families and sects. Their defensive formations were almost useless. These families and sects were directly destroyed overnight, and all kinds of resources were swept away during the period. All those at the Foundation Establishment level and above were killed, and only those at the Qi Training level and mortals survived.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire Tang Empire was in an uproar.
This act of annihilating millions of people overnight simply challenged the nerves of everyone in the Tang Empire.
This level of cleansing is rare in the world and has never happened in the entire history of the Three Realms.
But the effect was immediate. The Tang Empire, which had been extremely restless before and was very likely to cause large-scale civil unrest, suddenly became quiet. Except for the central court, there was no other voice in the entire empire for a while.
"This person is so cruel!"
"I thought that as the Human Emperor, he would have to worry about his status no matter what, but I didn't expect that he would directly kill more than a hundred families and sects!" Wu Zetian couldn't bear it as soon as he received the news. Live a little trembling.
To be honest, even she couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear in her heart at this moment.
Di Renjie was also a little shocked, but at the same time he let out a long breath. The burden that had been weighing on him these days was finally completely lifted.
"But Your Majesty, the effect is immediate. From today on, the constraints of my imperial court in managing the Tang Empire are completely gone. The entire Tang Dynasty will become a highly efficient machine. In the future, we may become another Ming Dynasty. "
"Yes!" Wu Zetian was also a little relieved. Although she lamented the ruthlessness of Emperor Zhu, she also had to say that the fact that that guy was able to accomplish this really made the big mess that was about to turn into a mess. The Tang Empire came back from the dead.
She believes that Datang, which eliminates rotten flesh and moves forward lightly, will develop even better in the future.
What happened in Nanzhan Buzhou was nothing to hide from the Heavenly Court. On the second day after Zhu Yuanzhang launched his decisive attack, Clairvoyant Eyes and Shunfeng Er sent the corresponding news to the Lingxiao Palace. When the Jade Emperor saw this After the news, there was a moment of silence.
He was also shocked by the ruthlessness of Emperor Zhu, but at the same time he also understood that the plan to conquer Nanzhan Prefecture from the inside was completely aborted. After Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodbath, Nanzhan Prefecture could no longer form internal turmoil. of combined force.
If you want to completely destroy this rising human empire, there is only one way left: defeat him head-on.
And this plan must be as fast as possible. The Jade Emperor knows the creative ability of mankind best. Every day from now on, every second of delay will make the Tang Empire prosper.
"Ming dynasty……!"
"I already thought highly of you as much as possible, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you!"
"This Ming Empire is my most serious problem in heaven!" The Jade Emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
To be honest, he is unwilling to start a large-scale war unless necessary, because the Three Realms are currently in a delicate balance, and no one knows what the final situation will be like once the war begins. .
But sometimes things are like this and will never change according to your will, even if you are the Jade Emperor.
"Now that we've decided, there's nothing to hesitate about!"
The Jade Emperor raised his head and looked in the direction of Tushita Palace, and as if in response to him, the door of Tushita Palace quietly opened, and Taishang Laojun, with white beard and hair, stepped out of it.
His eyes were complicated with a hint of melancholy. He raised his head and waved the dust fly in his hand.
The thirty-three days he was in was the closest place to the sky in the entire heaven. At this moment, as his dust fell, the sky in the entire three realms suddenly became dark. The sky that was originally full of scorching sun suddenly turned into a sky filled with bright stars.
Among the countless stars in the sky, there are 18,000 stars that look extremely distinctive, or rather brilliant.
Taishang Laojun looked at this scene and waved the whisk in his hand again.
His whisk turned into a hundred and eighty thousand threads, flying towards the sky.
The hundred and eight thousand stars in the sky were quietly integrated into one. At this moment, all the creatures in the three realms could feel a sense of depression from the stars in the sky.
This kind of depression goes deep into the bone marrow, as if you are facing the power of God. At this moment, no matter you are a mortal, an immortal, or even an immortal golden immortal, you are the same in front of this power of God. You are as humble as an ant, as small as gravel.
"What a powerful formation!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the sky above Chang'an City with his hands behind his back, looking up at the opening of the Zhoutian Star Formation. What was reflected in his eyes was also the sky full of stars. At this moment, there seemed to be countless stars in his eyes. Brightness and extinction.
"Your Majesty, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Otherwise, we should go back to the Ming Dynasty!" Mao Xiang stepped out from behind Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke anxiously.
He has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a thousand years, and has never been as flustered as he is today. This is a normal physiological reaction when facing an irresistible enemy.
It was this reaction that forced him to speak.
"rest assured!"
"We have a backup plan!" Zhu Yuanzhang's beard and hair were white at the moment, but his body was upright. He stood there with his head raised and his eyes brightly staring at the sky.
How could he shrink back out of fear from such a wonderful sight?
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"
"Your Majesty, it is better to return to Ming Dynasty first. If the dust here settles, it will not be too late to come back!" Mao Xiang said again.
"Only if you are not afraid of it can you defeat it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't move: "Besides, I believe in Biao'er, he will definitely succeed!"
"Master, are you sure about this?"
At this moment, in a small man-made space outside the sky, Zhu Biao, Sun Wukong, Patriarch Subhuti, the woodcutter, Cicada, and the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi who had just arrived from Nanzhan Buzhou gathered together, and everyone was watching. At this moment, the great changes taking place in the three realms are taking place.
Because they are outside the sky, they cannot see the wonders of the twinkling stars in the sky, but the shock they can see here is no less shocking than that outside the sky.
The spiritual power that pervades the entire sky at this moment is all sparkling. The entire space of billions of miles outside the sky seems to be covered in heavy fog at this moment, and these heavy fogs are rotating and converging at an extremely mysterious angle at this moment. , condensing.
"not sure!"
Patriarch Subhuti couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
The Zhoutian Star Formation is a peerless formation that the Sanqing Dao Ancestors used all their strength to refine. In front of such a great formation, no one dares to say that they will be able to successfully stop it, even if it only slows down time for a moment.
What we are doing now can only be said to be doing our best and obeying fate.
"Okay, let's go!
"Let's go to Ziwei Star!" Patriarch Subhuti turned and looked at Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, and the two disappeared in a flash.
At the same time, on the other side, Empress Houtu, who had not left the underworld for a hundred thousand years, also appeared in the sky today. She was barefoot, with a dull expression, and walked step by step towards a big star, which was the Taiyin. star.
"Amitabha, success or failure depends on this!"
Tathagata Buddha looked at the scorching big star in front of him, sitting cross-legged in the void, his figure flickering, and every flickering was an endless distance. In the blink of an eye, he was already close to the sun star.
"Lord Sun Star, I, Tathagata Buddha, have come here today to learn about the power of the sun's divine fire!" Tathagata Buddha spoke in a deep voice, his voice shocking a million miles away.
"Gah...!"
"Gou Chen..., I was defeated by you back then, and today I have come here specifically to regain my position!" On Gou Chen Star, Emperor Gou Chen and a colorful phoenix were fighting fiercely. The aftermath of the battle between the two even A satellite near Gouchen Star was directly destroyed.
