I am the one running the game

Chapter 455 Da Zhao's method of drinking poison to quench thirst

"Have many deities and immortals gone missing?" Gao Zheng looked down at the eunuch with a vicious gaze, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

His whole temperament was changed by his viciousness and dissatisfaction, which was caused by years of cruelty.

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty..." The eunuch shuddered and was so frightened that his voice became stuttering.

"Get out." Gao Zheng suppressed his anger and did not kill the eunuch.

His punishments of torture and killing were many, but he understood one thing, which was who could be killed and who could not be killed.

Even if Gao Zheng wanted to kill someone who worked for him and was valuable, he would hold back.

People who are worthless and not good at getting things done but are extremely good at flattery, keeping such people around can not only soothe your emotions, but if you really want to kill them one day, you can also kill them for fun.

Not killing people? That's impossible.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!"

After the eunuch left, Gao Zheng started roaring, with anger gushing out of his face.

This is not a metaphor, but the anger has really turned into tangible flames.

Gao Zheng's method of entering Taoism was the "Lieyan Xuanming Sutra" passed down to him by Xu Yi. Based on this, he added many other methods and, with the help of fallen immortals and evil gods, deduced his own Taoist heritage, named "Dian Yan of the Great Zhao Emperor".

However, even with the help of the Fallen Immortal Evil God, he could not avoid being constrained by him and has been unable to get rid of him so far.

Fortunately, he had good means, and through balance, he was able to make the fallen immortal and evil god work for him, but there were inevitably some inconveniences in various aspects.

Therefore, he has always wanted to control the fallen immortal evil god and make it his own force.

If he had not been unable to control and integrate this power until now, the so-called Yin-Yang Emperor would be nothing but a useless person in his eyes.

Da Zhao has been established for ten thousand years, and its legitimacy has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even in the current situation, the title of legitimacy is still valid, and there are countless people working for Da Zhao.

After all his anger was vented, Gao Zheng finally calmed down.

A large number of eunuchs and palace maids quickly cleaned up the mess, restored the palace to its original splendor, and then left.

This had become a common occurrence for them. Gao Zheng would get angry every three or two days and would probably kill a dozen people a day.

"Your Majesty is so angry. Would you like me to help you calm down?" A harsh voice came, but it could be heard to be a female voice.

Gao Zheng glanced at the person coming. It was a giant butterfly with a human head and its wings were covered with all kinds of strange organs and horrifying poisonous powder.

"Dear Fairy Lingdie, what do you want to see me about?" Gao Zheng said calmly.

He recognized this monster; it was the Spirit Butterfly Fairy who was a member of the fallen immortal evil god. Before being alienated by the five turbidities and evil world, the Spirit Butterfly Fairy was naturally a first-class fairy.

But now it has turned into such a monster.

After recovering, all the fallen immortals and evil gods became as twisted and disgusting as their karma.

This made Gao Zheng speculate that these so-called immortals and gods were actually just the karma in the heaven and underworld. It was just that because they were immortals and gods, their karma was much more bizarre than that of the human world.

"Of course it's about the disappearance of the immortal god worshipped by Your Majesty. I'm here on behalf of Lord Jiu Tian Yuan Lei to inquire about this matter." Fairy Lingdie spoke directly.

Originally, the gods and immortals had no factions, but now they do.

It is also thanks to Gao Zheng's differentiation, which he used to control the immortals and gods through balance.

But in fact it was the immortals and gods who followed this trend, otherwise Gao Zheng would not have the virtue or ability to bring about such a situation.

"I just received the news and you are here. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Or do you think I have the ability to kill the gods and immortals?" Gao Zheng said sarcastically.

In fact, he really can do it, and the immortals and gods also know that Gao Zheng can do it. Gao Zheng even knows that the immortals and gods know this, but everyone tacitly pretends not to know.

The reason is naturally that Gao Zheng can only kill one at most, and he is killing a low-level immortal god like the Lingdie Fairy. For example, the Jiutian Yuanlei Tianzun behind the Lingdie Fairy, Gao Zheng's means can only break the skin at most, and he can't even cause minor injuries.

This measure is a deterrent, not something that can be used for real.

"The Heavenly Lord will naturally not slander Your Majesty. What the Heavenly Lord meant is that the one who did it was most likely the Yin-Yang Emperor." Fairy Lingdie did not care about Gao Zheng's sarcasm, nor did she use it to threaten or intimidate him. Instead, she went straight to tell the information.

"What's so strange about this? There are countless immortals and gods who have died at the hands of the Yin-Yang Emperor."

"It's not difficult to kill a few priests." Gao Zheng said with disdain, but he took this matter very seriously in his heart. There must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

The Yin-Yang Emperor and their Da Zhao are in a cold war period. Both sides will not act rashly. Once they anger the other side, war will inevitably break out.

So there was no bloody conflict at all, it was more of a verbal fight or deliberate provocation.

Therefore, it was indeed beyond Gao Zheng's expectation that the Yin-Yang Emperor would suddenly take action to break this rare Cold War peace. At the same time, it also made Gao Zheng understand one thing, that is, the other party was going to make a big move.

"Your Majesty, please don't pretend to be ignorant. This kind of method may be useful for dealing with mortals, demons and monsters in the dynasty, but it is of little use to immortals like us." Fairy Lingdie has joined the Jiutian Yuanlei Tianzun and is not Gao Zheng's subordinate, so she will naturally not indulge him.

"Then I wonder what the Heavenly Lord wants me to do?" Gao Zheng restrained his disdain and ridicule, and even changed his self-proclaimed name to "I" instead of "Zhen". "Cut down the mountains and destroy the temples, and clear this place of evil gods!" said the Fairy Lingdie.

After saying that, Gao Zheng asked directly: "Will Tianzun take action?"

"The Heavenly Master is in a critical moment of cultivation, so it is inconvenient for him to take action. If it were you, the Heavenly Master would not be stingy." Fairy Lingdie replied.

As a result, Gao Zheng sneered: "Okay, but it will take some time for me to raise an army."

Gao Zheng knew exactly what these immortals and gods were planning. They just wanted him to confront the Yin Yang Emperor head-on.

If Da Zhao wins, it will definitely suffer heavy losses in this battle, and they will be able to use this opportunity to control the entire human dynasty.

It is indeed possible now, but even if they succeed in controlling it, there will be flaws, and then the Yin-Yang Emperor will gain the advantage, and they will suffer a great loss.

However, if Da Zhao wins, it means that the Yin Yang Emperor will be annihilated, and they can take action without worrying about external threats.

As for if they lose, that would be even better. First of all, Da Zhao is in danger, and it would be easier for them to take over than if they win.

It will also consume the strength of the Yin-Yang Emperor. At that time, the immortals and gods will work together to kill the Yin-Yang Emperor, and the rest will return to the first possible solution strategy.

But there is an unsolvable contradiction here.

It’s not about killing the Yin-Yang Emperor, but about how to make the immortals and gods work together.

The current immortals and gods are all fallen evil gods, blinded by greed and selfish. Even if they cooperate, they all have their own ulterior motives. How can they work wholeheartedly?

"How long will it take?" Fairy Lingdie obviously didn't understand Gao Zheng's excuse.

"Naturally, it will be completed when preparations are ready." Gao Zheng said some nonsense to Fairy Lingdie.

At this time, even if Fairy Lingdie didn't understand the ways of the world, she could still tell that Gao Zheng was trying to fool her.

"One month. Tianzun only gives you one month!"

"If it is not completed within a month, your Majesty should know what the thunder punishment from the Heavenly Lord will feel like." Fairy Lingdie informed directly, not caring if Gao Zheng was trying to fool him.

Gao Zheng laughed, and laughed very wildly.

"The thunder punishment of the Nine Heavens Yuanlei Tianzun is indeed extraordinary, but are the punishments of the Pure Land Liuli Immortal Lord and the Yinling Minghe Yanluo ordinary?"

Upon hearing these two names, Fairy Lingdie's expression changed slightly. These were all powerful people, not people he could afford to offend.

Gao Zheng is able to deal with these powerful immortals and gods and make profits from them, so it is naturally not a problem for them to use their influence to put pressure on him.

"In addition to these two, there is also..." Gao Zheng listed a series of names of immortals and gods, leaving Fairy Lingdie speechless.

"Well, do you have anything else to say?"

After pulling off the tiger skin, Gao Zheng looked at the Spirit Butterfly Fairy with cold eyes.

Fairy Lingdie shook her head: "I will report what your majesty said to the Heavenly Lord truthfully."

Since it can't be solved, we can only report it. After saying this, Fairy Lingdie left.

After he left, Gao Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The other party was not scared away by himself, but was deterred by the threat from other powerful immortals and gods.

It seems that the tiger's skin is very successful, but in fact it is nothing more than dancing on the edge of a knife. As long as Fairy Lingdie is more decisive, Gao Zheng really will have no way to solve it.

He can kill the Psylocke Fairy, but he can only kill one Psylocke Fairy.

In the camp of immortals and gods, the Fairy Lingdie can only be regarded as a small shrimp, and there is no point in killing her.

If you can avoid using deterrents, don't use them. Once you use them, it means you are at the end of your rope. Otherwise, why hide them? They can only be used once, so they are used to deter.

"But this matter can't be delayed for long. It can only delay it for a while at most. I must find a way to break the situation."

The ones who came now are only the immortals and gods under the command of Jiutian Yuanlei Tianzun, but it may not be the same after some time. By then, even if he wants to pretend to be a tiger or deceive others, it will not work.

Internal strength is not enough to support him to break the current situation, so he can only rely on external strength.

He is very good at leveraging power.

Then the object of borrowing power can be chosen as the hostile Yin-Yang Emperor. If the other party attacks the immortals and gods, it means breaking up with them, and he can make plans based on this.

As for whether this behavior is inviting a wolf into the house? In fact, it is not, it should be regarded as drinking poison to quench thirst.

Gao Zheng could not fight against any of the immortals or the gods. No matter which camp Dazhao was in, he was dying a slow death.

All he had to do was to successfully extend Dazhao's life before he died or sell him for a good price so that he could live a better life. Gao Zheng didn't even care who he sold it to, he only cared about how much he could get for it.
