The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

When the emperor saw Pan Yun again, he was excited for a moment, but only for a moment.

After all, having been emperor for so many years, composure is a fundamental requirement.

He learned about the events that had occurred in the world from the Daoji Division two days earlier.

To be honest, he's been under a lot of pressure these past few years.

After the teacher ascended to heaven, the court officials listened to him more.

But there are many problems in the world, and there are many more things to do every day.

More importantly, he had no one left to rely on.

In the past, he felt that Pan Yun was a burden to him, because of her, he always had someone weighing on his head.

After Pan Yun ascended to heaven, he did indeed become the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, but with the same increase in responsibility and pressure.

In today's world, we must not only maintain the status quo, but also strive for progress.

Through seafaring, they learned how vast the world truly was.

By the way, not long ago, a naval expedition dispatched by the imperial court discovered a huge landmass in the east of the sea.

There are very few people living there; most exist in tribal form, somewhat similar to the various tribes of Mongolia, but they have their own language, script, and culture.

It was a completely new, almost undeveloped land, with a climate and geography similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the people living there are just like them, with yellow skin and black hair, completely different from the people in the west.

Only then did the emperor realize what Pan Yun meant by saying "there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."
It turns out that not only is there another world in the upper realm, but there is also another world in the world they live in.

Human lifespan is so short, like a drop in the ocean, it's not worth mentioning.

He also desired immortality.

This world is so wonderful.

But the teacher said that as an emperor, he could practice martial arts to prolong his life, but he could not achieve immortality.

He had privately inquired with the Taoist Registry, the Celestial Master's Mansion, and even some well-known Taoist priests in the community.

The vast majority of people agree with the teacher's statement, with only a very few individuals suggesting that immortality does not necessarily require one's own cultivation.

At these times, the jade pendant hanging around his neck would soothe his soul and instantly calm him down.

He just wants to live forever, not to become stupid. Can't he see what these people want from him?

So the emperor rewrote Pan Yun's words: one could achieve immortality by not becoming emperor.

Although he now has the intention to abdicate, he still wants to be emperor. However, he is not as wary of his teacher as he was seven years ago, nor is he as eager for power.

He understood Pan Yun's world, a world that the teacher saw was not this one.

With a broader perspective and a more open mind, the emperor became more composed in dealing with many things.

He wasn't so disgusted or repulsed by these monsters that had broken through the dragon veins and reappeared in the world; on the contrary, he was able to treat them with a different attitude.

As the teacher said, heaven and earth do not exist for humankind, much less for emperors; they exist for all living beings in this world.

In the eyes of Heaven, he, the emperor, was no different from an ant.

The emperor, on behalf of the human race, signed a century-long peace treaty with these demons.

As soon as the signature was completed, several powerful demons stared at Pan Yun with wide eyes.

Pan Yun waved her hand: "Go do whatever you want."

"You have ascended to heaven."

"You can travel through time."

"It can also take people to other worlds." Several demons chimed in, "Then it can definitely take demons too."

The fellow practitioners and Buddhists who had come to witness this immediately looked up and stared intently at Pan Yun.

Even the emperor kept a close eye on the teacher.

Pan Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, you want to come with me?"

The demons are always direct: "What's the price?"

Pan Yun liked their directness: "Let me make this clear first, because of the fixed coordinates, the time in the two worlds is currently one year here, but only one day in the other world. Before the time passage is fixed, when I come back depends on my mood, so those who want to go to the other world with me should think carefully. If you go and come back, this world will have changed drastically, and you may lose all your relatives and friends."

The demons said, "We have no relatives or friends, nor do we care about this world."

Many other cultivators were also interested and began to take stock of what they could offer in exchange.

Upon entering the First Marquisate and officially embarking on the path of cultivation, they must begin to sever kinship ties, repay the debts of birth and upbringing, and restrain their desires...

Therefore, many people can immediately make up their minds to follow Pan Yun.

Unlike the emperor, who was overly lustful, although he also desired it, he knew he could not.

He could only look at Pan Yun with longing: "Teacher, you must not forget your student. I have decided to abdicate in a few years, once the Yellow River management has yielded results."

Pan Yun: "Does Your Majesty also want to go to another world?"

Emperor: "Can't I go?"

“It’s not impossible, but the other world is another dimension on Earth. Geographically, they are similar, but culturally…” Pan Jun paused and then said, “There is no emperor on this land with the same culture. Anyone who comes to the other world, including demons and monsters, must abide by its laws. Your Majesty, no one there will recognize you as emperor.”

The emperor was even more eager to see it.

Perhaps it is a human flaw that when one has not yet attained power, one desires respect and obedience from others; when one has attained power, one desires others to speak the truth and treat one as an equal.

Pan Yun wouldn't mind taking the emperor up there after he abdicated; her teachers and fellow students all had ideas to open up this time-space passage.

If there were transportation links between the two worlds, trade would be more convenient and more developed.

It may have an impact on some cultures, but she believes that for ordinary people, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks overall.

Just ...

Pan Yun glanced at the emperor and coughed lightly. It was unclear whether the emperor realized that deepening the exchange between the two worlds would likely change the power structure of the Ming Dynasty.

She had already reminded him; she had said that there was no emperor in this land of another world. If he hadn't grasped it, it must be because he lacked a sense of crisis.

Sigh, honest kids are always the ones who get taken advantage of.

Pan Yun only muttered to himself and did not remind the emperor a second time.

Deep down, she believed that the world belonged to the people, and that things could change as they pleased, as long as most people's lives got better and better.

Demons and humans alike, eager to follow Pan Yun to another world, crowded around her to sign up. Pan Yun pointed at Wang Cong and said, "Those who want to leave, go find him. Discuss the items to be exchanged with him as well."

Everyone then turned to Wang Cong and asked, "Master Wang, what kind of things can we exchange for a trip to the Upper Realm?"

Wang Cong: "Anything is fine. I will weigh the value myself. My junior uncle is not picky about things."

Junior Uncle said that if the passage is opened, travel between the two worlds will become the norm, so the fees cannot be too high. However, since these people are the first batch, the fees can be raised a little higher on a not-too-high basis.

Wang Cong's low fees made everyone hesitate, and they shared the same doubts as Zhang Ziwang and others: if he was being taken to another world for such a low fee, could Pan Yun's ascension be fake?
Pan Jun didn't expect them to be so suspicious. Too lazy to waste words, he took the money and stuffed them all into the Spirit Realm Space, tearing through time and space to return to the future.

After they threw the people out and saw this strange world, they couldn't help but wonder if it was an illusion.

It wasn't until they were taken away from the academy and into the outside world, where they encountered all sorts of people, that they realized this truly seemed to be another world.

What a wonderful world! (End of Chapter)
