Witness the flow, live up to the emperor's plan and live up to the lover

Chapter 205 Be the first to declare yourself emperor and anger the other rebel kings to death!

Yang World, Jiang Mansion

Chen Mo finally joined forces with the forces of his shadow clone. After this period of development, the number of cities controlled by Chen Mo has now reached twenty, and he is considered to be well-known among the rebel kings of Daqian.

Today, Zhang San, the leader of Kunlun Sect, suddenly found Chen Mo and said solemnly: "My Lord, I have found that Daqian's luck has run out in recent days, but Wang Xing is shining even brighter. I am afraid that a new emperor will appear soon. Please make plans early!"

They say that Daqian’s luck has run out, and they also say that a new emperor will appear?

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "You mean, someone might become emperor?"

Although many rebel kings have risen up in Daqian, no one has dared to declare himself emperor so far, for fear of becoming the target of public criticism!
Zhang San nodded: "Now that Daqian is falling apart, they are all calling themselves kings. In order to suppress others, the more powerful rebel kings will most likely choose to become emperors. I just don't know who will stand up first!"

Among all the rebel kings throughout history, the first one to proclaim himself emperor basically did not have a good ending, such as Yuan Shu in the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Qin Dynasty, Chen Youliang in the late Yuan Dynasty, etc., all of them were pioneers for kings!

"Why not let me be the first one!" Chen Mo suddenly said.

Hearing this, Zhang San was stunned: I was talking about those powerful rebel kings, not you. We only have twenty cities, while others have sixty or seventy. How dare you do that?
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud, because he had followed Chen Mo for some time and knew very well that although Chen Mo was a man of great talent and strategy, he was also sometimes arbitrary and dictatorial. If he disobeyed him, he might not die, but he would definitely be taught a lesson.

Although Zhang San didn't say anything, his expression betrayed him. Chen Mo smiled and said, "If we talk about territory power, I can only be considered as a mid-level player, but you have to know that this is a world where strength is respected. Whether you can unify the world depends not only on the number of troops, but also on the real high-end combat power. As long as you are strong enough, what's wrong with suppressing the world by yourself?"

After hearing this, Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then he reacted: Yes, this is a world where fairies and demons coexist. No matter how powerful a mortal is, if he encounters a powerful being, won’t a large number of them die?

What's wrong with only twenty cities? Even if he is just the head of a village, as long as he is strong enough, he can say that the whole world belongs to him. Who dares to refute him?

Zhang San was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly felt something was wrong: No, if that were the case, why would there be a need for fighting and killing? Wouldn't it be enough to let Master Lei Tianshi personally appoint a common leader for the world? But why didn't he do that? Wasn't it because this would lead to a single leader, and the other great powers wouldn't allow it?

Thinking of this, he quickly expressed his concerns. After listening, Chen Mo still didn't care and said, "So what if he's powerful? As long as he's strong enough that even the powerful dare not provoke him, isn't that enough?"

Zhang San was somewhat bewildered: Is it possible that he is so powerful that even the powerful dare not provoke him?
Others can't do it, but that doesn't mean Chen Mo can't do it. After all, after half a month, Chen Mo has digested the power of Tathagata. Although he learned from his memory that Tathagata was not completely dead, the increased soul power and internal strength were real. Moreover, Chen Mo has also learned all the skills of Tathagata. I believe that once he fights with other powerful people, he can definitely give them a big surprise!

So, three days later, the news that Chen Mo had proclaimed himself emperor spread throughout Daqian.

Whether it was the former princes of Daqian who owned dozens of cities, or the Caotou king who only had one city, they were all stunned after hearing the news: No, what was his basis? Was it because of the twenty cities in his hands? Or because of his handsome appearance?

Especially those forces who had been planning to proclaim themselves emperors in the near future were furious. They had wanted to be the first to proclaim themselves emperors in order to suppress their competitors, but now someone unexpectedly showed up?
A few days later, in the palace built by Chen Mo using Wood Release, Zhang San said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the latest news is that the rebel kings from all over the world are threatening to attack us, and some are even on their way!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that they are quite concerned about me becoming emperor before them!

Well, come on, the more the better, just in time to catch them all, and save me the trouble of conquering them one by one!"

Zhang San looked at the arrogant Chen Mo on the throne, and felt his head buzzing: Your Majesty, others would have peed their pants when they heard that we were enemies with the rebel kings, but you are not only not afraid, but you hope to take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, this...

At that moment, Zhang San wanted to run away, but when he felt that his strength was suppressed, he gave up the idea:

You are worthy of being the emperor destined by heaven. Even if you only have twenty cities and even if you have just been crowned emperor, you can still gather great national destiny. In these twenty cities, the strength of all cultivators and demons will be suppressed. The closer to the palace, the stronger the suppression. Even if someone as powerful as me stands in front of His Majesty, I can't exert the slightest bit of my strength.

No wonder the monsters throughout history only designed to frame the emperor but did not dare to do it themselves. The destiny of a country is too scary!

Perhaps, this time I can really help Your Majesty pacify the world?
At the same time, a group of uninvited guests came from outside Guangping County. The leader was a burly man with a ferocious face. The dozen people behind him also exuded a ferocious aura. The people around thought that they were bandits from somewhere and hurriedly reported it to the soldiers guarding the city.

Seeing the panic-stricken people around, one of them laughed and said, "Hahaha, Tiger, look, we haven't even revealed our true form yet, and they're already so scared. If we reveal our true form, won't they be scared to death on the spot?"

The Hu Da he mentioned was the vicious man in the lead. He smiled cruelly upon hearing this: "Since that guy has declared himself emperor without permission and disrupted our plan, he must pay the price for it. When you enter the city later, don't show mercy and eat and drink as much as you want!"

Hearing this, the villains around him all showed excitement and bloodthirsty looks.

At this time, a group of soldiers who received reports from the people came over. They were not afraid of the vicious crowd and said, "This is Guangping County. Who are you? Why are you here?"

Dare to interrogate me? Hu Da's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he suddenly slapped the leading soldier, and his head was immediately exploded by him!
The other soldiers were stunned at first, and then quickly formed a formation to surround these villains.

After a while, the initial pleasure of killing among the villains disappeared, and was replaced by solemn expressions as they looked at the resurrected soldiers.

These soldiers were not very strong, but they were resurrected after being killed. If the scene before their eyes was not real, they would have thought that they were the victim of someone's illusion!

The leading tiger shouted angrily: "Get out of the way, let me do it!"

After saying that, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the soldiers in one gulp.

Seeing this, the other villains said worriedly, "Tiger, if you swallow them, aren't you afraid that they will come back to life in your stomach?"

"Hmph, I'll swallow them and digest their souls, and see how they can be resurrected!" Hu Da said indifferently.

He had long seen through it, that the other party was only immortal physically, not truly immortal. As long as he digested their souls, he would be able to make them completely disappear.

After dealing with the soldiers, they turned their attention to Guangping County. When they were fighting with the soldiers, the people at the gate of Guangping County had already hidden themselves: How could these guys look like robbers? They were even more ferocious than robbers!
The villains who were about to slaughter everyone suddenly changed their expressions as soon as they entered the city. One of them exclaimed, "What happened? Why is my strength only one tenth of what it used to be?"

Hu Da said solemnly, "Damn it, this feeling is the national destiny. This place is actually protected by the national destiny? Didn't Daqian perish?"

Only about 10% of his strength remains. He has felt this familiar feeling of suppression during the heyday of the Daqian Dynasty. But even during the heyday of the Daqian Dynasty, its national destiny should not have such a strong suppressive force. What's more, Guangping County is not the center of power. Isn't this suppressive force a bit outrageous?

"Master Hu, our strength is only one tenth of what it was before. If we continue, it might be dangerous, right? Why don't we retreat first?" someone suggested.

No matter how this national fortune came about, it is a fact that one's own strength is suppressed. With this kind of strength, it is okay to deal with ordinary people, but if it is used to deal with some more powerful martial arts masters, there is a real risk of capsizing.

Hu Da also thought of this, looked at the people who were fleeing in panic, and finally gave the order with a grim expression: "Retreat!"

Just as they were about to evacuate, the gate of Guangping County suddenly closed, and a figure blocked their way:

"Want to escape now? It's too late!"

Hu Da looked at the figure in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Guangping County City God? You think you can deal with us?"

That’s right, the person coming is the City God of Guangping County!

National destiny has a suppressive effect on most magical powers, and the City God of Guangping County has a deep understanding of this. How could he be frightened by Tiger Da's words? Facing Tiger Da's threat, he immediately sneered: "I know that you are all tiger monsters with strong cultivation. If I were alone with you outside the city, I really couldn't do anything to you. But unfortunately, you are in the city. Under the suppression of national destiny, I am afraid that your strength is only one tenth of what it is now? How dare you pretend in front of me?"

Seeing that he had seen through his true strength, Hu Da's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down: "Our strength is indeed suppressed, but as a Shinto practitioner, you will also be suppressed in the face of human destiny. We are the same, you still can't deal with us!"

Oh? is it?

The City God of Guangping County slapped them from mid-air. Hu Da and the others' faces turned pale and they quickly mobilized all their demonic power to resist.

Boom~
At the moment of the fight, Hu Da and others flew backwards.

puff!

Hu Da spat out a mouthful of blood and asked in surprise: "How is it possible? Why are you okay? Could it be... " "Yes, I have received the imperial edict from his majesty. As long as you stay in this city and perform your duties to protect the country and the people, you will not be suppressed by the national destiny!" explained the City God of Guangping County.

"Your Majesty? Which Majesty? The fake emperor who recently proclaimed himself emperor?" Hu Da asked puzzledly.

The Guangping County City God's expression suddenly turned cold, and he angrily shouted, "How dare you disrespect His Majesty?"

After saying that, he slapped Hu Da again, and Hu Da flew out like a broken sack.

Hu Da looked at the City God of Guangping County weakly, and couldn't understand why the other party was so angry when he had only said a few words, or why he was so loyal to the false emperor.

Little did he know that the City God of Guangping County had long been impressed by Chen Mo, especially when Chen Mo proclaimed himself emperor and the national fortune swept across twenty cities, he became a diehard fan of Chen Mo: before he really took over the world, the national fortune had already surpassed the peak period of Daqian. What would happen if he continued to develop? Wouldn't it be better to surpass the former unified empire? It was definitely right to follow him!
Killing these tiger monsters will definitely offend the tiger clan. If it were the previous City God of Guangping County, he might have some concerns, but after seeing Chen Mo's strength and potential, he is not afraid at all at this time.

In just a moment, Hu Da and others were all killed by the City God of Guangping County. After death, they revealed their true forms, which were actually fierce tigers. Before the people hiding everywhere could exclaim, the corpses of these tigers disappeared. It turned out that they were collected by the City God of Guangping County. He wanted to use these tiger corpses to seek credit!

Similar things happened in Guangping County in other cities controlled by Chen Mo, especially those bordering other forces. Many unsuspecting demons entered the city and were about to start a massacre when they were killed by the City God or Chen Mo's dirty earth soldiers. After all, they were suppressed by the national destiny in the city and were not much stronger than ordinary people!
Half a month passed in a flash. After half a month of spreading the news, the forces behind the anti-king also knew that Chen Mo's cities were protected by national destiny. Although they felt incredible, the facts were before them and they did not dare to send their own monks to die easily.

However, they did not intend to let Chen Mo go. Since the cultivators in the city would be affected by the human destiny, they would let the mortals take over. It is impossible for the national destiny to suppress even mortals, right?
As a result, 30,000 troops gathered outside Guobei County. They were all here to fight against Chen Mo, the false emperor. Chen Mo, who had learned the news, had already arrived here through the Flying Thunder God Mark in the city.

As soon as Chen Mo, wearing a dragon robe, appeared on the top of the city wall, he attracted the attention of the anti-king forces outside the city. The demons and evil cultivators hiding in the dark were also looking at Chen Mo.

"So this person is actually a natural emperor? No wonder after he became emperor, his sphere of influence would be protected by the country's destiny. How hateful! I have been searching for the true dragon emperor for so long, but have not discovered such an existence!" an evil cultivator murmured.

How could he know that Chen Mo had only been in this world for a few years. Before that, he couldn't find Chen Mo even if he wanted to!
There were also evil cultivators who said: "It doesn't matter if he is born to be an emperor or not. As long as we kill him, we can still support a new emperor!"

"What you said is simple. He is protected by the destiny of the country. We cultivators are just ordinary people in front of him. Now we can only rely on these mortals!" An evil cultivator sighed.

The demon tribe was also discussing:

"That guy is the fake emperor? He is even more emperor-like than the original Emperor Qian. If only there were a mortal who could kill him and then let me devour him, it would be great. With the luck left on his corpse, I will definitely be able to make further progress!"

"You're dreaming. If there really is such an opportunity, it won't be our turn!"

"That's true. His corpse can not only help us monsters evolve, but those evil cultivators can also refine it into a special emperor corpse... Alas, when I think about it this way, I suddenly feel that being an emperor is really a dangerous job!"

After a while, seeing that ordinary soldiers could not defeat Chen Mo's dirty soldiers, the anti-king forces could not help but frown:
"What kind of secret technique is this? It's not very powerful, but it's really disgusting that it can't kill!"

"It's a bit like a corpse puppet, but a corpse puppet shouldn't have such a clear mind. And it's impossible for a corpse puppet to recover so quickly after being killed!"

"I heard that this fake emperor is supported by the Kunlun Sect. Could it be some secret technique of the Kunlun Sect?"

"I've dealt with the Kunlun Sect before, and it doesn't look like that."

"It's meaningless to discuss this now. Let's get rid of the Pseudo-Emperor's special forces first. Otherwise, all our ordinary soldiers will be killed. How can we kill the Pseudo-Emperor?"

"This is an easy task. The combat effectiveness of this special force is not strong. Ordinary people may not be able to do anything to them, but I have a trick that can destroy their souls!" As he said that, he took out a black flag with a ghostly aura and threw it towards the sky above the scene. Suddenly, the light on the battlefield became dim, and soon the battlefield was surrounded by the ghostly aura.

Zhang San, the head of Kunlun Sect, who was watching the battle beside Chen Mo on the city wall, saw the black flag and exclaimed, "It's the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

Chen Mo asked in confusion: "Why, is there anything special about this thing?"

Zhang San did not hesitate and told what he knew about the origin of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner: "I don't know how many years ago, a world-shaking war broke out between the Yin and Yang worlds. There were many powerful people who died in that war. The secret realms that appeared in the Yin and Yang worlds later were the relics of those fallen powerful people.

The reason for this war is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly: "A war broke out because of a broken flag?"

Broken flag? If you have such broken flags, give me a few!
Although he complained in his heart, Zhang San still nodded: "You are right to say it is a flag, but this is not an ordinary chess piece. This Ten Thousand Souls Banner can form its own space. You should know that the biggest difference between a powerful person and a non-powerful person is that a powerful person has a space of his own. With this Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it means that you will become a powerful person.

This alone is enough to make countless strong people who want to become powerful fight for it. Even if those powerful people get the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, they can integrate it into their original space, thereby improving their own strength and making themselves invincible in the realm of powerful people.

That’s not all, it is said…”

"What was it said?" Chen Mo was curious and asked.

"It is said that the underworld today is the result of the evolution of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. No... maybe it can't be called the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. It should be the Million Souls Banner? The Billion Souls Banner?

I am not very clear about the details, I only know that when the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is formed, it can become a self-contained space. If it keeps absorbing ghosts, it can evolve the world on its own to a certain extent. The reason why those great men died in the past was to grab the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but they didn't expect that they would lose their lives in the end!" When he said the last sentence, Zhang San couldn't help but sigh.

Evolution of the underworld?

Hearing this, even Chen Mo couldn't help but be moved. You know, the underworld is not a simple space. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a self-contained world. There are mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, insects and fish. The only thing that is a bit abnormal is that the yin energy there is extremely strong. But if it is really a world evolved from countless ghosts, then it makes sense. After all, its original power is of yin attribute.

However, when Chen Mo looked at the black flag, he still had some doubts: "Are you sure this is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? Why doesn't it look like one to me? And this can't be considered a self-contained space, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang San took a closer look, looked at the number of evil ghosts inside, and their strength, and then explained: "This is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, yes, but it is not a complete Ten Thousand Souls Banner. It is said that there were tens of thousands of evil ghosts in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner back then, and there were many ghost king-level evil ghosts among them. Now there are only a hundred evil ghosts in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, and their strength is not strong. At most, it can only be called a Hundred Ghosts Banner!
Legend has it that the last powerful person who obtained the Ten Thousand Souls Banner deliberately destroyed it during the war, thinking that if he couldn't get it himself, he wouldn't let anyone else get it. Now that I see the Hundred Ghosts Banner, it seems that the legend is true!"

"Huh? Why don't those powerful people make a Ten Thousand Souls Banner themselves? Why do they have to steal it from others?" Chen Mo asked puzzledly.

"The creation of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not a simple matter of making a banner-shaped magical instrument and then absorbing tens of thousands of souls. That would only produce a device that stores souls. Apart from being able to carry tens of thousands of souls, it has little practical use.

The real Ten Thousand Souls Banner has special requirements for each soul it absorbs, such as souls born on an yin year, yin month and yin day, souls born on an yang year, yang month and yang day, or souls with great grievances... In short, the requirements are very strict, and this is just the difficulty in production.

What's more difficult is that now the powerful people in the Yin and Yang worlds are restraining each other, and no one wants the other to break through before themselves, so once a powerful person wants to make a real Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the other powerful people will definitely not sit idly by. "When he said the last sentence, Zhang San's eyes were complicated. He suddenly felt that the powerful people didn't seem to be as detached from the world as he imagined. At least they still had to make compromises for the sake of interests.

After his explanation, Chen Mo finally realized that there were so many stories behind the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Looking at the black Hundred Souls Banner, Chen Mo suddenly asked, "So you mean that this Hundred Souls Banner can evolve into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

"In theory it is possible, but it is too difficult to advance to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and... imprisoning those living souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is too detrimental to the harmony of nature!" Zhang San realized what Chen Mo meant and said hesitantly.

Is it against the will of Heaven? Killing innocent people indiscriminately is indeed against the will of Heaven, but if you kill your enemies, then what harm is there?
"This thing is destined to be with me!" Chen Mo said with a gleam in his eyes.

Their conversation seemed long, but in fact only a few moments had passed. During this short period of time, the Hundred Ghosts Banner had already collected all the ghosts. Only the soldiers brought by the rebel king were left standing there with fear on their faces. As for Chen Mo's dirty earth soldiers, they had all disappeared.

Chen Mo was not at all surprised by this. Soul attacks were indeed the nemesis of the Impure World Reincarnation. However, this was also related to the fact that these Impure World Reincarnation guys were just ordinary people in their previous lives. If it was the Impure World Tathagata, he would probably have been killed by him before the opponent's soul attack could reach him.

Seeing that the Hundred Ghosts Banner was about to fly back to the cultivator outside the city, Chen Mo suddenly took action: [Flying Thunder God Stage 2]

In an instant, the objects in that area appeared in front of Chen Mo, including the Hundred Ghosts Banner, which Chen Mo grabbed before it could escape.

The Hundred Ghosts Banner exuded a cold ghostly aura and kept struggling to break free from Chen Mo's control, but Chen Mo casually threw it into the [Divine Power Space].
