Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 689: The hatred of the demon ape, the ideal of the pope, the green wall of the human race, and Chu Wujiang's plan
There are two great sorrows for warriors.

One is finding that there is no road ahead.

One is that you found the way, but it was blocked by someone.

The Supreme Demon Ape of Death Valley is in this mood at the moment.

It reincarnates again and again, relying on the power of [Hongmeng Love], accumulating love and trying to condense the last step, becoming the son of destiny and seizing the illusory world of Taixu.

This path is the most likely way to establish the Kingdom of God after the end of the ancient times.

The kingdom of God in the human route is almost entirely occupied by the Human Emperor and the major sects. Even if one is the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to establish his own kingdom of God.

This was also one of the reasons why Emperor Hao gave up the dynasty he had built.

The Supreme Demon Ape has every hope of seizing the Great Illusionary Realm, driven by infinite love, and becoming the most powerful being of this era.

As a result, when this reincarnation was about to be completed, Chu Wujiang got there first.

How could this not make it extremely angry?

The roar caused dust to fly in the Death Valley for a thousand miles. At this time, a laugh came from the distance:
"Congratulations, Mr. Love Saint, you finally broke through the stubborn stone and gained a new life."

"It's you?!"

"go to hell!"

The Supreme Demon Ape showed a ferocious look, as if he mistook the visitor for Chu Wujiang. In an instant, he summoned countless grains of death sand, wanting to completely destroy the opponent's life.

The surging sands of death will annihilate that person in an instant.

Unexpectedly, the man bowed and said:
"Lord Lover, I am here to greet you."

Countless grains of sand were about to cover the area, but the Supreme Demon Ape did not lose his mind after all. He waved his hand to stop the death sand.

The person who came was none other than the Pope of the Temple of Human Emperor.

The Supreme Demon Ape said coldly:
"To make a long story short, I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"

The Pope smiled and said:
"Master Zhen holds the Skynet in his hand to detect the Destiny Realm."

"The Crimson Pearl Fairy has fallen, and the Champion Marquis is unstoppable."

"Only if we cooperate can there be a way out."

"Originally, we just wanted to use Death Valley to make the Tianming Dynasty's grain harvest completely fail, completely destroy its land, and trigger civil strife in the dynasty."

"Now that you have finally come into being, we can do even bigger things. It's a cause for celebration."

The Supreme Demon Ape listened quietly to the Pope's complete plan and said coldly:
"Are you finished?"

"Can you go die now?"

The reason why the Supreme Demon Ape chose the path of a love saint is because its essence is cruelty and death.

Every year the dust storms that blow through Death Valley would sweep away all life in the nearby land, wiping out all surrounding life and leaving it for the future.

Tyranny, cruelty, and murder are the underlying qualities of a love saint.

In order to eliminate this tyrannical background, Fairy Jiangzhu helped him plan the path of a romantic saint.

He was reincarnated time and again, always being a weak, incompetent, and useless person, relying on the luck of a love saint to live off his wife.

This is all to offset the tyrannical nature of the demon ape.

The stubborn stone shed tears, and the devil ape was born, destined to use massive death to complete the final memorial.

The Pope was well aware of the tyranny of the Supreme Demon Ape, so he opened his arms and said:

"of course can."

"If you don't want to avenge Fairy Jiangzhu, you can kill me at any time."

"But if you want to avenge her, cooperating with us is the best choice."

The Supreme Demon Ape controlled the sand and said calmly:

"The Crimson Pearl Fairy once warned me not to cooperate with you."

"You want to borrow the sand from Death Valley, but it has nothing to do with me."

"Once you participate in the war between humans and demons, you will be in danger of a catastrophe, and you will have a narrow escape from death."

Fairy Crimson Pearl and Supreme Demon Ape were originally outsiders. They even pretended not to see when Imperial Master Boyan came to steal sand from the Death Valley.

They have to take the route of romantic luck and avoid getting involved in the world's affairs.

The tyranny of the Supreme Demon Ape disappeared, replaced by a touch of tenderness:
"She doesn't want me to be in danger."

"For dead things, whether they are human or demon, it has nothing to do with us."

"So you can go die."

"That's a shame."

The Pope closed his eyes and waited for death.

Since he dared to come and see the Supreme Demon Ape, he had no intention of going back alive. Since he wanted to plan for world affairs, completely destroy the Tianming Dynasty, and win this war, he had to gamble everything.

Obviously, he won the bet.

The Supreme Demon Ape stopped when the Death Realm was only millimeters away from the Pope:
"But now Jiangzhu is dead."

"This world has no need to exist, and it doesn't matter whether you have attained enlightenment or not."

"I will give her the most magnificent funeral and mourn her."

The Supreme Demon Ape put away all his brutality, leaving only a deep coldness.

A rare expression appeared on its face, an expression that would never appear on a dead object - true sadness.

It cried the moment Fairy Crimson Pearl died, and also learned what true hatred is.

The former tyranny and cruelty were just the instinctive outbursts of Death Valley, just like animal nature.

Now the stone is crying.

It no longer fights for the truth, but only for its own emotions.

A smile appeared on the Pope's face, and he bowed solemnly and said:

"As you wish."

"We will all give our all to complete the mission."

The Supreme Demon Ape stared at the white-haired Pope and asked:
"I don't understand. You are also a member of the human race."

"Why are you so actively destroying the human race?"

The original Supreme Demon Ape would not ask such a question, but now it understands emotions and realizes that the Pope is abnormal.

The Pope grinned and said:

"Because I hate them as much as you do."

"I wish I could destroy the entire human race right now."

You are the Pope of the Dayong Dynasty. Except for the powerful ones with destiny, no one can be better than you. Why do you hate them?
Such hatred is no weaker than that of the Supreme Demon Ape.

It can't help asking:
"Why?"

"Could it be that you were born in poverty and suffered oppression from the human race's upper echelons?"

Those extreme oppressions gave birth to demons that destroyed the world.

If Xia Yu, the Ghost King of Longzhou, could get more resources to cultivate, she would be far more qualified to become the Ghost Emperor than Xue Nu.

Because she belonged to the most oppressed group in the empire.

The Pope suppressed the hatred on his face and smiled:

"No, I have a good family background and have studied for a few years."

"My family was originally a clerk in the empire, responsible for collecting taxes. They had a fairly good living, and lived a better life than most citizens."

The Supreme Demon Ape couldn't help but frown:
"Then what do you hate?"

The Pope smiled and said:
"There is a saying in Confucianism that a harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger."

"Lord Love uses this Death Sand to kill people. It takes away life in one breath without causing pain."

"And I am responsible for eating people, which is far more painful than these grains of death."

No matter how many times the Supreme Demon Ape reincarnates, he always lives in the world as a love saint.

Even if it is reincarnated as a beggar, it will definitely meet a kind-hearted rich girl within one day and show kindness to her.

So it is impossible for it to understand the Pope's words:
"Eating people, what does that mean?"

The Pope explained:
"Lord Lover, you don't understand much about the imperial court's tax collection."

"We have to send officers and soldiers to the countryside to collect taxes."

"As for those who refuse to pay taxes, we will set fire to their houses and capture their weak spots and beat them severely."

"There is a saying in the government office, 'cleansing the countryside.'"

"How can you collect taxes if you don't go to the countryside and kill people?"

"Every few years, they have to kill each other mercilessly."

"Because the unruly people would rather sell themselves to the gentry, clans, and noble families in exchange for protection than pay taxes honestly."

"Hey, the people don't understand the difficulties of the court. The court can only kill people and set fires to make the people behave themselves!"

"This is what I do. My specialty is hanging up the troublemakers and beating them up to force them to reveal the whereabouts of the food."

"You see, the suffering of the farmer is much heavier than this grain of death."

"The sands of death are truly a rare mercy."

It turned out that the Pope was born a clerk in the Tianming Dynasty. When he recalled the past when he followed the county magistrate to clear the countryside, he felt nostalgic and couldn't help laughing.

As the saying goes: thieves come like a comb, soldiers come like a rake, officials come like a razor.

These are the lessons learned from blood and tears by the common people.

This puzzled the Supreme Demon Ape:

"I don't think you hate these things, but I think you are happy about them."

The Pope smiled and said:
"Of course, I enjoyed my work."

"We follow the county magistrate to show off our power. Every time we clear the countryside, it's a day to make a fortune."

"Whatever we snatched belonged to us, and everyone was very happy."

When ancient governments collected taxes, many of them went to the countryside to rob, burn houses, and exploit weak points. This was very common. You could treat them as Japanese invaders entering the village and there would be nothing wrong with that.

For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Guangdong government told the county magistrate Du Fengzhi that all the peasants were bandits and could be killed. It was not unfair even if they were fake. He told the county magistrate Du Fengzhi to deal with these troublemakers severely.

This is also why farmers often choose to rely on wealthy families and gentry.

Because only gentry were qualified to negotiate with the government.

Similarly, in order to save taxation costs, the imperial court would also rely on gentry, forming a dynamic game point between the two sides.

The way the gentry threatened the government was actually that without our help, you will not be able to complete the tax collection smoothly and at low cost.

The government offices could indeed dispatch officers and soldiers to carry out regular crackdowns on rural areas that did not pay taxes, but the cost was too high. The officers and soldiers required funding, rewards, and were good at robbery.

When you collect taxes of one hundred taels of silver, you often have to pay two hundred taels, or even cause widespread damage to the local area, which is not worth the cost.

If there are too few gentry and too many self-employed farmers in a place, it will be very painful for the government to collect taxes, and large-scale violent confrontations and even killings will occur.

The entire country's rural areas can be treated as a low-intensity security war.

Because the tax system is unreasonable, the way agricultural taxes are collected will create the greatest tax pain, and farmers will not pay taxes or rent honestly.

If the apprentices of the martial arts school and the children of the aristocratic families saw the heroic spirit and chivalry of the martial arts world, then what the Pope had seen was the coldest and cruelest battle for survival.

Two worlds, completely different.

The Pope closed his eyes, revealing a nostalgic look:

"What a wonderful day this is. I have even earned enough money to practice martial arts and plan to go to a martial arts school to learn martial arts."

The Supreme Demon Ape was getting impatient and scolded:
"So what do you hate?"

"Don't ramble."

The Pope smiled and said:
"My happy days didn't last long, until one day, we hit a wall."

"It's not because I was harsh and cruel to the people, but because I angered a nobleman when I entertained him."

"The county magistrate immediately turned hostile and used us as scapegoats, beating us up severely."

"At that moment I was hung on a tree, and suffered the same fate as those farmers."

The Supreme Demon Ape replied unceremoniously:
"Isn't this what you deserve?"

Even though it was an ancient demon ape that controlled death, it still felt that this old guy was extremely evil.

Killing people is not enough, but you torture and kill farmers again and again, which is much crueler than the death sand.

"Correct!"

The Pope smiled and admitted:
"This world is a cannibalistic place."

“Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.”

"I was hung on a tree and flogged thirty times, and I finally realized the truth of heaven."

"I deserve to die for oppressing the peasants."

"Your Excellency should die for bullying me."

"The farmer was oppressed and his life was worse than death."

"Look at this world. Either you deserve to die, or you deserve to live a life worse than death. It's getting more and more overwhelming."

"There is not a single clean person in this vast world. Everyone deserves to die, and I deserve to die the most."

"No matter who I kill, it will be a great merit."

"From then on, I killed fewer beasts and more people."

Crazy.

The Supreme Demon Ape looked at the Pope in surprise.

This old man actually pushed for the ultimate war between the Dayong Dynasty and the Tianming Dynasty for such a reason.

I don’t know how many people will die on both sides.

Bai Ge fights for the demons, the Demon Saint fights for the demons, and Chu Wujiang fights for the human race.

Most people fight for their position, their race.

The Pope alone fights for the dead.

It doesn't matter whether the Great Yong Dynasty wins or not, as long as there are deaths, the more people die, the better!
Therefore, he was the most active in promoting war and death, trying to force the more deaths on both sides, the better. As a former police officer, he was more ruthless than anyone else.

The Pope accidentally joined the Dayong Dynasty from a minor official and eventually became the Pope as an outsider. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a heroic story.

Because in the eyes of the strong people in the Destiny Realm, he is the most suitable person to promote the war, and he only wants to kill people.

There are few crazy people like this.

The Supreme Demon Ape understood now and said coldly:

"I see. You are more suitable for Death Valley than me."

"Tell me, how can we cooperate?"

The Pope laughed three times and said:
"happy!"

"The humans thought we would blow up a death sandstorm from the northwest, so they reinforced the Great Wall and formed a huge army to try to stop the sand."

"A large number of grave keepers and warriors proficient in wood-related secrets have been transferred to the northwest to cooperate with the Tiance Army to plant a large number of windbreaks."

"Once the war begins, they will defend the Great Green Wall to the death."

"I guess the human prophets have predicted the changes and are actively adjusting to counter our plans."

The black wind of doomsday, the sands of death.

These images appeared again and again in the dreams of human divination masters. It was impossible for them not to react. Shenmo took several defensive measures based on the prophecies.

The first to be hit is the northwest, which is the area guarded by the Tiance Army. A green Great Wall must be built in a short period of time to greatly weaken the power of the sandstorm.

For this purpose, the imperial court dispatched tomb keepers to reinforce the northwest.

Yanluo possesses the [Secret of the Green Emperor] and holds the Laurel Fairy Tree, making her the most suitable candidate for building the Green Great Wall.

These days she is not slacking off, but is actively building a new green Great Wall.

What's even more terrifying is that Yanluo relies on the Crystal Fairy Palace and has an endless supply of magic power, just like a strong man in the Yuanshen realm, which makes her even more powerful and her construction speed is astonishing.

The human race is moving too fast. By the end of the rainy season, they will at least have a complete reinforced city wall to prevent the sandstorm from causing a huge impact.

The Dayong Dynasty had been monitoring the Tiance Army for many years and naturally would not miss these changes. The confrontation between the two sides continued to escalate.

Where Chu Wujiang is not around, there are other people taking charge of building the front line.

The Supreme Demon Ape seemed to realize it and asked:
"and then?"

The Pope smiled faintly and said:
"Originally, our plan was to use Death Valley to stir up a sandstorm and attack the human territory."

"But they discovered it too quickly and too early. Forcibly blowing up a sandstorm now may not be effective."

"Now that Lord Love Saint has joined our camp, State Master Boyan has the skill to move mountains. He can use the power of the earth veins to relocate the entire Death Valley."

"We will bypass the Terran Green Wall."

"Leave death sands everywhere, attack on all fronts!"

"The attack from the northwest is just a feint!"

Concealing the truth.

Shenmo's advancement to Sima Ming was a heavy blow to the Dayong Dynasty's plans, but they soon realized this and made adjustments immediately.

That is to use the opponent's trick against him.

The Supreme Demon Ape grinned and said:

"This way I will be involved in cause and effect, and I will almost certainly die."

"But no problem, I said yes."

"But aren't you afraid that the human prophet will discover the problem again?"

The Pope smiled and said:
"Not afraid!"

"Lord Zhen has decided to temporarily give up the tampering of ancient history and give priority to stopping the prophet of the human race."

"By the time they react, it's too late!"

After the Dayong Dynasty discovered that the human race had built the Green Great Wall, they quickly realized that the secret had been leaked.

However, the Pope and others did not leak the secret, so the reason why the opponent obtained the intelligence was most likely that Shen Mo predicted everything.

The confrontation of the prophets is also an essential element of this kind of war.

They suspected that Shen Mo had entered the realm of saints, so naturally they had to use the methods they used to deal with saints.

"Then let's get started."

"Start blowing from the northwest, so that the Terrans will think that our main attack direction has not changed!"

The magic rain is still falling.

The wind in Death Valley began to blow, carrying some sand and moving southward.

……

Sandbank, the Great Green Wall

The black wind blew into the forest with sand, hitting the leaves, corroding the life of the plants and causing them to wither.

At this time, the master of the gravekeeper immediately injected vitality, and countless trees emitted green light. Under the influence of the green light, they regained vitality.

Yanluo sat on the tallest tree, observing the sandstorm in the distance, and said with a serious expression:
"coming!"

"I didn't expect that such a strong hurricane would blow during the rainy season."

"I'm afraid the demons are worried that once the rainy season stops, we will send people to Death Valley to set up a new green wall."

“So it started early.”

The human race has no intention of passively accepting a beating.

When they discovered the threat of Death Valley, they attempted to build a Great Green Wall within the enemy's territory to eliminate the lethality of the Death Sands.

It is always better to fight a decisive battle on the enemy's land than on your own land.

Tiance Army's commander Liu Xuanfeng urgently contacted:

"Lord Yanluo, what is the situation with the Death Sand?"

Yanluo picked up the communication symbol and replied:
"It's very bad. These sand particles are contaminated by the magic rain and carried by the black wind. They are extremely lethal. Not only are they corrosive, but they also pollute the vital energy."

Liu Xuanfeng asked:
"Is there a possibility that the enemy will attack in advance?"

Yanluo shook her head and said:
"Even for the demons, these death sands are extremely harmful."

"The sands of death do not distinguish between good and evil."

"With such heavy rain, a sandstorm can still blow up in Death Valley. The mana consumed is naturally astonishing. They will not be so stupid as to choose to attack at this time."

"I'm afraid they have discovered the construction of the Great Green Wall and want to inspect it in advance."

“Once the rainy season ends and the sand dries up, they’ll attack hard.”

Tiance Army's commander Liu Xuanfeng agrees:
"In this case, I will propose to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to transfer more wood-type warriors so that our Green Great Wall can be further reinforced."

Yanluo nodded and said:
"General, your words make sense. Inform the court that the enemy's sandstorm may intensify at any time."

"There must be no problems with the sandbar defense line."

Liu Xuanfeng and Yanluo, based on the dynamics of the sandstorm, believed that the enemy would use the sandbar as a breakthrough point, and this decision could not be considered wrong.

After all, the birth of the stubborn stone in Death Valley, the arrival of the demon ape, and the news that Death Valley can move are currently top secrets.

Shen Mo currently has some vague premonitions and is still in the stage of fighting against Zuowang Dao.

Who would have thought that the Dayong Dynasty had concealed the history of the Human Emperor for tens of thousands of years, but at the critical moment gave up the blockade and instead turned its power to blockade the prophets of the human race.

Such a decision made it impossible for the human race to perceive the changes in the Dayong Dynasty in the first place.

"Lord Yanluo is mature and wise in his work for the country!"

"I will report to the court immediately and try to gather more wood-type warriors."

Liu Xuanfeng, the most outstanding adopted son of the Duke of Liguo and the general of the Tiance Army, has a steady style.

When he led the army to deploy its troops, he always sought to be thorough, not to achieve merit, but to avoid mistakes.

This style of work prevented him from achieving a glorious victory, but it definitely kept him from suffering any loss.

He wants to climb to the top step by step.

In the past few days, Liu Xuanfeng has also made great progress. He has won some victories with Chu Wujiang and gained a lot of trophies. More importantly, he has completely let go of his worries and successfully advanced to the second tragedies of the soul.

Originally, Liu Xuanfeng wanted to inherit the entire Duke Liguo Mansion, not for power or wealth, but because he didn't want his adoptive father's career to decline.

As a result, Master Liu was devoted to playing chess and thought he could not keep the family business, so he let Liu Xinqi inherit it. At the same time, the relationship between Liu Xinqi and Chu Wujiang gradually became known.

Liu Xuanfeng smiled with relief and no longer asked about the affairs of the Duke Liguo Mansion. He successfully survived the calamity.

With his abilities, there is great hope that he will become a Three Tribulations Spirit in the future.

Now he is responsible for the entire northwest defense line and will support the joint offensive of the King of Qin and the King of Chu on the sandbar, which puts him under tremendous pressure.

The sandbar is in a strategic location, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so we are responsible for its defense.

The terrain of Yuzhou is flat, so we can march straight in and be responsible for the breakthrough.

If the sandbar was breached by the enemy, Liu Xuanfeng would never be able to atone for his sins even if he died a hundred times. Many elite masters of the Confucian school began to gather on the sandbar.

As long as Chu Wujiang and the King of Qin do not make an emergency summons, Mr. Molin and the masters of Confucianism will defend the sandbar to the death.

The masters of Taoism and Buddhism came to help King Qin and Chu Wujiang.

Logically speaking, if nothing unexpected happened to Fang Xiaoran and if Wang Ren did not join the Hero Army, Shazhou would actually be a place where the Confucian school could use its skills.

If they can achieve a breakthrough on the sandbar, or wait until the Hero Army, the God-Blessed Army, and the Heaven-Mandatory Army arrive, they will be able to implement a large encirclement strategy and completely wipe out the demon army.

Liu Xuanfeng was under tremendous pressure, so he naturally focused on safety.

Just as he was about to further consolidate his defenses, he suddenly heard an urgent call from Yanluo:
"General Liu, wait a minute."

Liu Xuanfeng asked in surprise:

"Lord Yanluo, what happened?"

Yanluo took a deep breath and replied:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu contacted me and said he had something important to discuss."

"He suspected that the Dayong Dynasty was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Shazhou's plan to summon wood-type warriors will not be carried out for now. We will discuss this again when I return."

Liu Xuanfeng quickly replied:
"Don't worry, Master Yanluo. Even if you are not here, the Green Great Wall will still be indestructible."

Liu Xuanfeng thought Yanluo was worried about the enemy's surprise attack, so he patted his chest and promised not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage.

"Well, I'll go first then."

……

Qingqiu Kingdom, Practice Room

As soon as Yanluo arrived at the scene, she was grabbed by Chu Wujiang and held in his arms.

This made the young patriarch of the gravekeeper blush immediately:
"Master, I was just blowing in the wind on the tree and my body is covered with sand."

"It's okay. If you hug me, the sand will disappear."

Chu Wujiang had already comforted Nichang and let her fall into a sweet dream. He was the only one left in the practice room, so he was naturally much bolder.

Yanluo is very shy. Even though they are an old couple, she will still blush when she sees her husband's ridiculous behavior, which is very cute.

"Owner!"

Yanluo's faint voice made Chu Wujiang burst into laughter.

"Well, there is a major change in calling you here this time."

"A demon ape was born from the rock of Death Valley."

"Now that there is a manipulator in Death Valley, they may not carry out the sneak attack according to the original plan."

"I asked Shenmo."

Chu Wujiang paused deliberately. Yanluo became a little anxious and asked quickly:
"How does Lord Shenmo respond?"

Yanluo retains some habits of a gravekeeper and is very respectful to Shenmo.

Because Shen Mo was in charge of the Sitianjian, he once commanded the gravekeepers and hunted down the disciples of the Wangui Sect.

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"Shenmo didn't feel anything, and didn't find anything. This is the biggest problem."

This demon ape was not originally against the human race.

Neither side takes sides.

As a result, Chu Wujiang killed the Fairy of the Crimson Pearl and also killed the reincarnation of the Love Saint, making him die like a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

It is impossible for him not to be full of malice towards the human race.

In addition, Shen Mo did not notice it, which means one thing: a strong person took action and blocked the news.

Although Chu Wujiang didn't guess who it was, he was not familiar with the situation of the Dayong Dynasty after all.

He could only summon Yanluo first.

Yanluo said hurriedly:

"Could it be that the direction of Death Valley's attack will change?"

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Probably."

“So we have two approaches.”

"The first method is to defend the entire front line, build a green Great Wall everywhere, and build an iron wall."

Yanluo said quickly:

"Master, this is simply impossible."

"Yes, the second method is to eliminate this demon ape in advance, or seal off the Death Valley."

Chu Wujiang lit up two peach blossoms and had a certain sense of the whereabouts of the demon ape.

After all, he is almost becoming the source of romantic luck, and he can understand the weaker level of romantic luck.

Since you have decided to be the enemy of the human race.

Then I will send you to heaven.
