After the Skyfall

Chapter 565 Incense Plan
Li Yi does not value power. In the world of cultivation, strength always comes first. If he cared about power, he would have already become the king in the world.

However, this world where people become gods through incense is very special. If he becomes the prince, he will have a large amount of power from incense and faith, and he won't have to go through a lot of trouble to accumulate it. It will be almost a one-step journey to heaven.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yi chose to give up.

"The position of the crown prince? Forget it. I won't stay in this world for long. I will leave again soon. I don't know when I will come to this world next time. If you send me to the position of the crown prince and the crown prince is away for a long time, I am afraid it will affect the situation. You have worked hard to build this world for a long time. You can't let my appearance ruin the overall situation."

Li Yi shook his head, feeling that the position of crown prince was not suitable for him.

Li Jiye said, "We are one family, if you don't become the crown prince, who will be the crown prince? Do you want someone else to be the crown prince? If something happens to your father, wouldn't the world return to the Zhao family? This is not acceptable. We can't let the country we have won with great difficulty go to waste."

"I have the ability to recreate the universe and reopen the sun and the moon. Changing dynasties is just a matter of a wave of my hand. What is there to be afraid of? Besides, father, you have received so much support from all over the world, and you are also practicing the method of evolution. What kind of accidents can happen?" Li Yi said.

Li Jiye shook his head and smiled, "Xiao Yi, you don't know much about this world yet. This world still has some background. The national guardian general Wang Qijun you killed before should not be weak, right? He was just a founding general who enjoyed the incense of twelve dynasties. What about the founding emperor of the Zhao Dynasty? How much incense did he enjoy? And the emperors of all dynasties were definitely not weak either."

"In addition, there are also remnants of the previous dynasty, thousand-year-old monsters in the mountains and wilds, and some practitioners who have achieved enlightenment through incense and worship. As for the righteous gods canonized by the court, there are countless mountain gods and water gods outside the capital. Some gods have even been worshipped for several years. Although the power of incense and faith is no longer at its peak, the accumulation of countless years is also extraordinary."

"I originally wanted to secretly train the Jinyiwei, and when the time is right, I would lead the Jinyiwei formed by the evolvers to destroy mountains and temples, and wipe out all the ghosts and monsters in the world. Only in this way can we completely gather the national fortune of the dynasty and the incense of the world. Now, to put it bluntly, the power of incense and faith obtained by the emperor is less than 30% of the world's."

Li Yi's eyelids moved: "Why is it only 30%?"

"Many people only recognize Emperor Zhao and not me, the mighty emperor. There are twelve emperors in the Zhao family. Whenever someone thinks of the emperor, they will take away a part of the incense and faith. In addition, because the imperial power does not go down to the countryside, many places don't know who the emperor is. What they worship is the local gods and monsters. What I said, father, is that I only account for 30% of the incense, which is a bold estimate." Li Jiye said.

"So that's how it is." Li Yi immediately understood after hearing this.

He didn't expect that as the emperor of the current dynasty, he only had less than 30% of the world's incense power, and most of the incense power fell on the heads of others. Who could tolerate this? If it were him, he would have destroyed the mountains and temples and swept the world again.

"But teaching the method of evolution to others is also a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble." Li Yi said later.

Li Jiye said, "Of course I know about this, but there is nothing I can do about it. However, I have also thought about it. After all, the Evolution Method requires a physical body to practice. However, most of the incense gods do not have physical bodies. Even if they obtain the Evolution Method, they will not be able to cause any trouble in a short period of time. But I can take advantage of this time to train the Jinyi Guards, increase my own strength, and then implement the plan of destroying mountains and temples. By then, all the incense in the world will belong to me, and I will naturally be able to suppress the world without fear of powerful enemies."

"As for the future. Before you, Xiaoyi, showed up, I didn't care about the future at all. If I died, I didn't care if the world was in turmoil. But now I can't. I see in you the opportunity for our family to reunite and a better future, so my plan has to change."

"But these are all small matters. The most important thing is that I have to help you gain the power of incense and faith first, and then help you to succeed in your practice. You are much stronger than me. You have such strength at such a young age. As long as I can use the power of incense and faith to help you, your future will definitely be limitless. It's just that you are unwilling to take the position of crown prince. I really can't think of any way to help you gather incense and faith. After all, it takes too long to confer gods and build temples," said Li Jiye.

In fact, the position of the crown prince is equivalent to a deity. Whoever becomes the crown prince will automatically enjoy the incense of the people. Although kings, princes, generals and ministers can also enjoy the incense, it is still far inferior to the position of the crown prince.

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "I think the title of Taiyi Immortal is good. Dad, you can make me the national teacher, and then assign some troops to me, and let me lead the team to destroy the mountains and temples."

“No, it’s too dangerous, and the plan to destroy mountains and temples is not mature yet. The Jinyiwei under my command are not very strong. Most of them are at the spiritual inspiration and spiritual perception realms, and only a few have reached the soul realm. With this level of strength, they are doomed to fail against the God of Incense. After they break through to the soul realm and can control the energy of the universe, they will be qualified to fight against the God of Incense.” Li Jiye refused immediately.

"I just need helpers. I am the only one who can destroy mountains and temples." Li Yi said at this moment: "I think this is the fastest way to spread the name of Taiyi Immortal, and it also fits your plan. This is a win-win situation."

He was a warrior who didn't like to engage in conspiracies or take things slow. He would be happy to just lead a group of people around the world to fight.

After all, the incense method is a quick method and does not require you to sit in one place for a long time to meditate and practice qi.

Li Jiye still shook his head and said, "This is even more dangerous. Once you reveal your intention to destroy the mountains and temples, I don't know how many incense gods in this world will come to murder you. When the time comes, there will be no turning back. Now you can still lie dormant. If you act when the time is right, you will be able to crush them with ease."

Li Yi said seriously: "Time waits for no one. Once everything is ready, it will be useless for me to ask for incense, because there will be troubles waiting for me on Earth."

Li Jiye pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then he made up his mind and said, "If that's the case, then let's do it. As the saying goes, it takes ten years for a scholar to rebel. Some things cannot be done until you are ready. Since you need incense, Xiaoyi, your father will support you. Tomorrow morning, I will confer you the title of national teacher, give you the Taoist name, Taiyi Zhenxian, and enjoy the incense of the dynasty."

"Afterwards, your father will also give you the Jinyi Guard and most of the Jintong Guard, allowing you to start the journey of conquering mountains and temples."

He stood up at this moment, and the emperor's aura appeared again.

Although he knew in his heart that doing so might bring down the dynasty and cause chaos in the world, he didn't care.

"Xiao Yi, if this succeeds, you and I will share the incense of the world. If it fails, we will run away together, leave here and return to Earth."

Li Jiye then smiled again, and he felt that all the shackles on his body were loosened, and he felt an indescribable sense of freedom and unrestrainedness.

Yes.

It should have been done long ago. I am originally from Earth, I came across the border, I have no ties in this world, when did I become trapped by these fame, power, and status?

"Since you agree, Dad, I will really take action." Li Yi grinned at this moment.

"of course."

Li Jiye said, "Just go for it. I'll prepare some plans. Although I can't guarantee a 100% success rate, I have a 50% chance of success. It's just that it will be a little difficult in the early stages. As long as we can hold on, everything will be fine once the general trend is established."

The father and son hit it off at this moment. They wanted to gain the faith of the world and start the journey of breaking mountains and cutting down temples.

As the story was told, time had unknowingly come to dawn. The sun rose, and the clouds illuminated the mountains and rivers.

at the same time.

In the imperial palace, inside the Yongchang Hall.

When the first ray of sunlight came in in the early morning, Prince Xin, who had not slept all night, felt very uneasy. He stayed in the palace, not daring to leave or fall asleep. As an ordinary person, he was hungry and exhausted.

But at this moment, Wang Ning, the golden-eyed guard, walked in with high spirits: "Prince Xin, the crown prince is here and wants to see His Majesty."

Prince Xin was shocked and immediately regained his spirits: "Brother must have known that the emperor had ordered the court to stop for three days and all officials to be on standby, so he couldn't wait to investigate what happened here. The emperor asked me to stay in Yongchang Palace to prevent such an accident from happening. Lord Heishan, please go and scare it away."

The black tiger crawling near the dragon throne raised its eyelids, then stood up with a sickly look and paced out of the hall.

Outside the Yongchang Palace at this moment.

Zhao Jingzheng, the crown prince, and several old ministers knelt on the ground and begged to see the emperor.

Because the current mighty emperor has lived in seclusion since he ascended the throne, and usually relies on the Golden Eyed Guards to convey government orders and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to intimidate the court. Now he suddenly doesn't even attend the morning court, which makes people imagine.

Could it be that something went wrong with Emperor Shenwu’s practice?

Everyone knows that the current emperor has a heart that seeks immortality and enlightenment.

However, this is not surprising, as it has been the case in all dynasties. After all, it is human nature for an emperor to want immortality. However, in many cases, emperors who seek immortality are more likely to die suddenly in their prime.

No one knows the reason.

I only know that becoming an emperor seems to make it impossible to practice cultivation, and the best outcome is to become the Prince of Yin.

However, Crown Prince Zhao Jing and several other old ministers did not wait for the news of the emperor's audience, but instead heard a series of dull tiger roars.

A huge black tiger walked slowly towards them.

"It's Kurosan-kun."

When Crown Prince Zhao Jing saw this, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

The black tiger was getting closer and closer. The aura emanating from its tall body made people feel terrified. They were afraid that the black tiger would pounce on them and eat them the next moment.

Zhao Jing trembled all over and dared not resist.

Because this black tiger represents the emperor, and the emperor will only let the black tiger out when he is in a bad mood.

"Roar!"

As a tiger roared, several people in Yongchang Palace suddenly felt terrified, as if their souls had flown away.

"Father, please calm down. I will leave now." Crown Prince Zhao Jing didn't dare to stay any longer. He kowtowed heavily and left in a hurry.

The two old ministers beside him didn't even bother to be polite and crawled away.
