All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 861 Divine Authority
Winterfell is the northern center of Westeros. Relying on the natural barrier of the Neck in the south, even the Andals who invaded in the past were unable to capture this place.

This place has also become a territory dominated by the descendants of our ancestors.

The Stark family is the owner of Winterfell and the king in the North. The Wall was built by their ancestors eight thousand years ago.

Therefore, they enjoy high prestige among the descendants of our ancestors.

Even after overthrowing the "Mad King" together, Eddard Stark had the opportunity to ascend the Iron Throne, but he gave it to his good friend Robert.

It can be said that Eddard Stark fully embodies almost all the positive qualities of the nobility. To a certain extent, he can even be called pedantic, but it is precisely because of this that he has a very high prestige in the whole of Westeros and is worthy of trust.

But recently, the entire North has been a little bit unstable, and the Night's Watch has been asking for help frequently, which makes Eddard Stark smell that a storm is coming...

"The barbarians are moving south in large numbers. They seem very frantic and even willing to pay any price..."

Eddard Stark frowned as he listened to the report of his younger brother, Benjen Stark, who had returned as a member of the Night's Watch.

As the King of the North, the Stark family has someone who takes the initiative to become a Night's Watcher in every generation. Benjen Stark is the representative of Eddard's generation.

Winterfell and the Wall are directly connected by the Kingdom Road. It can be said that the essence of its original establishment was to serve as a subsequent stronghold to support the Wall.

However, the White Walkers have disappeared over the past thousands of years, and the three horns at the Wall are no longer heard.

Instead, it was a group of barbarians who were also descendants of the ancestors but accidentally stayed north of the Great Wall who became the main enemy of the Night's Watch today.

Many blood feuds have accumulated from generation to generation.

But even during the most frenzied periods of the barbarians, they rarely attacked the Wall directly.

This group of guys who didn't know how to march and form a battle formation, although they were very brave individually, were still suppressed as a whole.

"I think there is a high possibility that White Walkers have appeared in the north. After the last earthquake, we have been able to see some light and thunder coming from the north on the Wall recently. It seems that changes are happening that we are not aware of."

Benjen Stark sighed.

Because of the betrayal of a Night's Watchman, the wildlings now have a 'King Beyond the Wall' who has united the originally scattered wildlings.

The threat is increasing!

But if it was just the wildlings, then there would not be much to worry about. The key point is that the wildlings' migration southwards seems to be influenced by the White Walkers...

"It's true that the White Walkers haven't appeared for thousands of years, but the earthquake before might not be a good sign..."

Because the White Walkers were too far away, Eddard Stark was not sufficiently vigilant about their existence.

But there had been a severe earthquake in the north before, which even caused cracks to appear on the Great Wall of Despair.

In other words, the Great Wall of Despair is made of ice and is easy to repair.

After this unusual astronomical phenomenon, Eddard was very confident that the White Walkers would soon appear.

After all, the seasons in this world are uncertain. The long night lasted for a generation, and the snow covered the mountain peaks...

"I will write to the king to request support. Before the kingdom's support arrives, I will personally lead my vassals to arrive first. Hopefully... we are just worrying too much..."

Ed never shirked his responsibilities and made a decision quickly.

Even if the White Walkers didn't appear, we couldn't ignore the gathering of those barbarians.

"Your decision is wise, and I hope that this situation will not happen."

At this moment, Ed's wife, Caitlin, the white moonlight that the Minister of Finance Little Finger had always been thinking about, came over quickly.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion, but I just received a message from a raven that the King's Hand, Jon Arryn, has suddenly contracted a serious illness and passed away..."

Caitlin's words made the two brothers stunned, and Eddard's face showed sadness.

Jon is also his adopted father, and both he and King Robert respect him very much.

But I didn't expect to hear such bad news suddenly.

However, everyone is mortal. As the lord of a territory, Ed quickly calmed down and sighed slowly.

"Robert is now leading his army towards Winterfell and wants to invite you to be the new Hand of the King."

When Catelyn said this, she glanced at Benjen Stark beside her, and the latter tactfully left first.

After joining the Night's Watch, you must cut off ties with the secular world and remain neutral.

The only mission he came back this time was to report the current situation to the Lord of the North.

After Benjen Stark left, Catelyn said solemnly
"I was also alerted by my sister that Jon Arryn was most likely poisoned by the Lannisters."

Catelyn's words made Eddard Stark look solemn.

"Poisoning..., the Lannister family..."

The upright Eddard has no good feelings towards the Lannister family. Even Jaime Lannister's assassination of the Mad King from behind was immoral in his eyes.

Because at that time Jaime was a member of the Kingsguard loyal to the Mad King.

Now he even received information that the Lannister family poisoned Jon, which really made him confused.

He had originally decided to lead his vassal states north to support the Wall, but now King Robert was on his way. He was worried about his friend and the monarch he was loyal to.

Since the Lannister family can poison Jon Arryn, they can actually threaten King Robert. After all, Queen Cersei and Jaime, one of the Kingsguard, are both from the Lannister family.

You can get close to him!
"We can't just ignore the Wall. This is our duty, but I can't just watch Robert fall into the fire pit. He came to me, which means that there are not many people around him that he can trust..."

Eddard Stark also had his own opinion in his mind.

The king personally invited him to become the Hand of the King, which actually shows the respect he has for him.

In the end, Eddard made a decision to wait for King Robert in Winterfell and explain the situation of the Wall to him face to face...

-

"hu~hu~"

Bran Stark opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and began to gasp.

As Eddard's second son, Bran, who is just ten years old, often has strange dreams. He once dreamed that a crow with three eyes appeared in front of him and kept saying something.

"What the hell is this..."

After all, he was just a ten-year-old child. Although various foreshadowings and pictures appeared in his dreams, he could not understand them at all.

All I knew was that the three-eyed crow seemed very eager to express something to me.

"It seems like something is coming..."

At this moment, Bran's brother, Robb, the eldest son of the Stark family, rushed into his room.

"Hey, why aren't you up yet? Hurry up and get ready. We're going to welcome the king's team together. We agreed on that before."

"Oh, right now."

"We have to entertain guests these days, so no one will practice archery with you."

Robb said somewhat teasingly.

Bran's archery accuracy was very poor before, and he was always teased by his brothers.

Although he is Eddard's second son, in addition to his legitimate brother Robb, he also has an older brother, Jon Snow, who is his father's illegitimate son, and an older brother, Theon Greyjoy, who is his father's adopted son and was sent as a hostage.

Bran is only ten years old and still a little brother.

"I can practice on my own. I will definitely become an excellent knight."

Bran said with a roar, and then followed his brother out the door.

Then he thought of his previous dream, and Bran, who didn't break his leg and didn't have any brains, asked Robb directly.

"Ahaha, this is indeed a very accurate dream. The king is coming soon. Doesn't this just prove it?"

The king came to the territory in person and wanted to invite Ed to become the Hand of the King, which was definitely a great honor for the lord.

Even though Ed and Robert had a very good relationship, the whole family gathered together with the most solemn etiquette to wait for Robert's arrival.

Under the protection of the king's guards and surrounded by several Kingsguard, Robert entered Winterfell and came before Eddard.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years. Robert stared at Eddard for a while, then a smile appeared on his face.

"You've gained weight."

"How dare you say that to me."

Ed pointed to his belly, and then the two of them hugged each other with laughter.

The unfamiliarity that had arisen from not seeing each other for many years seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

The harmony between the two protagonists made the atmosphere on the scene lively.

But at this moment, Maester Luwin of Winterfell came running over anxiously with a raven in his hand.

The fact that etiquette is disregarded on such an important occasion shows how serious the matter is.

Robert and Eddard didn't say much, and the Lord Eddard spoke up.
"Maester Luwin, what's the emergency? Is there a problem at the Wall?"

Because his younger brother had just reminded him of this, Ed subconsciously thought of this.

Robert next to him also frowned and said

"The Wall? What happened there?"

"No! It's not the Wall, it's King's Landing. King's Landing has been captured!"

Lu Wen's words immediately shocked everyone present.

What did we hear? King's Landing was taken?

"Show me!"

Robert quickly took the letter from the raven and saw the mark of a special secret letter on it.

A giant dragon? A flying steel ship?

What the hell!
But even though Robert the Iron Wheel didn't know what it was, the dragon knew it clearly!

He even knew that remnants of the Targaryen family had fled to the continent of Essos, but he did not expect that the dragons would appear again so soon!

Eddard and Queen Cersei beside him also had changed expressions.

In any case, at least when facing the remnants of the Targaryen family, the Wolf, Deer and Lion families have the same stance.

"Damn it!"

Robert seemed very angry and a little powerless.

If it was someone else plotting a rebellion, even if they managed to occupy King's Landing by chance, it would not be a big problem. The lords of the major fiefdoms and their vassals still supported us, so we could easily form a coalition to take it back!
He had ruled for so many years, and he had gained legitimacy and prestige. However, if someone from the Targaryen family came with a dragon, all his advantages would be wiped out.

"Why, why would a giant dragon appear..."

But at this moment, a dragon roar could be faintly heard in the sky.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

Ang~
Three soaring dragons appeared over Winterfell and began to circle.

Afterwards, the huge steel ship recorded in the intelligence appeared in the sky.

The magnificence of the aerospace carrier was truly unbelievable to everyone.

The mighty dragon looks so small next to this huge steel ship!

The most important thing is that the letters here had just arrived, and then the enemy appeared.

What should we do? !
But looking at the aerospace carrier flying in the sky and the soaring dragon, Robert and Eddard also sighed.

With this kind of flying ability and maneuverability, it seems only natural that it can surpass the Raven.

The atmosphere of celebration turned into one of panic.

Only Bran Stark looked up at the sky in a daze. He had a feeling that this was the figure in his dream.

A dwarf who had come out of a brothel because of the noise outside, looked up at the sky with a look of shock on his face.

"Oh, there really are giant dragons in the world..."

As a little devil born with congenital deformities, Tyrion Lannister, the third son of the Lannister family, has never been liked by his family because his birth caused his mother's difficult labor and he also had congenital deformities.

This time, he came with the king's team, and he did not attend the welcome party. Instead, he went directly to a brothel in the city. However, he did not expect to encounter such a situation.

One look at the soaring dragon told him that the era of King Robert was over.

"The dragon has come out, now let's think about how to be decent."

He considered whether to just slip away, but in the end he took his lion badge and ran quickly towards the team in front with his short legs.

He also wanted to know what happened...

-

The banquet scene at Winterfell.

The banquet originally prepared for King Robert turned into a welcome party for Tao Yu.

As a king, Robert was indeed not afraid of life or death in order to maintain his honor, but the huge gap that was like a fairy tale could also destroy all wills.

It didn't take long for him to give up.

And it was also the first time that Tao Yu truly witnessed the strange titles bestowed upon this world.

"Robert."

Sitting in the main seat, Tao Yu looked at the delicacies of this era, but he could not muster much interest in tasting them. He could only smack his lips with some dried fruits.

"How long has your body's abnormal strengthening lasted?"

Tao Yu’s words stunned Robert. He really had never told anyone about this!
I didn’t expect that the other party could see it at a glance!

Just thinking about the scene when the other party came over, he seemed to think it was natural, then sighed and said

"I don't know what's going on. It's been going on for about half a year, starting when there was a big earthquake in the north. At first I didn't feel anything and thought it was just an illusion, but recently I have indeed found that I have surpassed my peak period by a lot..."

As Robert spoke, he flattened a metal wine glass in his hand and showed it.

A fat man with a big belly suddenly burst out with such grip strength, which is indeed beyond that of ordinary people.

This surprised Ed who was standing next to him.

Tao Yu nodded.

It should be the blessing of the 'Iron Throne' and the other party's title of king.

After staying in King's Landing for a while, Tao Yu also studied the Iron Throne carefully. This throne, which was made by smelting all the weapons of the defeated with dragon's flame, is indeed the heart of the world.

However, the world power contained in it is much less than Tao Yu expected.

It seems that most of the world power in this world has been absorbed by those conceptual gods.

However, with Tao Yu's current insight and powerful computing power, he vaguely captured the close connection between the Iron Throne and this world.

This is the core of the world's will that cannot be hidden. The meaning of the Iron Throne itself represents the rule of the mortal world and cannot be hidden.

Tao Yu pulled it out and wanted to take it out of Junlin, but he felt that the quality of this thing was decreasing, so he put it back temporarily.

If we can guide the belief in those conceptual gods, it should be possible to increase the value of the Iron Throne.

The key to increasing power may require the cooperation of the person sitting on the Iron Throne.

Now that he saw that Robert was beginning to gain a physique that surpassed that of ordinary people, he was even more certain of his original calculations.

Tapping the armrest with his fingers, Tao Yu suddenly smiled.

"I have no interest in the emperors of the mortal world."

As soon as these words were spoken, Robert, who had already prepared for the worst, suddenly felt confused and felt a great ecstasy.

When he and Eddard fought their way to King's Landing and he eventually became king, he never expected that this time, the person who made him unable to resist, had no intention of seizing the throne!
It seems that the Iron Throne that many people dream of is meaningless in front of him!
"But I need some assistance from the mortal emperor."

"Please tell me."

Robert was more concerned now.

Queen Cersei and Prince Joffrey beside them also showed joy on their faces.

They were also completely hopeless before, but they never expected that there would be light at the end of the tunnel.

Joffrey said to the queen excitedly:
"Mom, the throne is still mine, it's still mine! I haven't lost it!"

"Quiet."

Cersei was more resourceful and quickly told Joffrey to shut up. If she angered this man, it would be difficult to deal with.

Tao Yu didn't pay attention to the noise now, and just said to Robert
"What do you think of the faith in the gods?"

The people of Westeros mainly believe in the Seven Gods.

After hearing Tao Yu's words, Robert took it as a test. After a moment's silence, he said calmly:
"Whether it is the current Seven Gods, the old gods, or some new gods, they are also a kind of belief. However, the believers of the Seven Gods currently occupy the majority in Westeros."

He wondered if this person was going to promote the emergence of a new god.

Although it is a bit difficult, he is also willing to cooperate with all his strength!
The Seven Gods' original mission was not "peaceful" and was accompanied by a lot of killings.

"Then, do you think God's power is innate or given by believers?"

Tao Yu looked at Robert and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This also made Robert feel a little tricky. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do. Did he want to promote it or restrict it?

Finally he answered cautiously:
"If you think it is innate, then it is innate. If you think it is given by believers, then it is given by believers!"

"Haha, that's a very cunning answer. Not as reckless as I thought."

Tao Yu smiled as he looked at the king who claimed to have been killed by a wild boar.

"The Divine Right is granted by the King. In the past, too many conveniences were given to the gods and believers. From now on, you need to pay attention to one point, that is, all legitimate gods need to be canonized by the master of the Iron Throne. Now the believers are beginning to be guided slowly. I have actually sorted out a lot of this..."

Tao Yu has already created his own diamond statues in many important areas.

On the one hand, he guides the converted believers to point to himself, and on the other hand, he uses the believers to restrain the seven gods who have gained a lot of support from the world's power!
The enthronement of all gods must pass through the Iron Throne, so that more world power can be extracted from the world.

Raise it for a while, then eat it in one bite.

"of course can!"

Robert readily agreed.

But at this moment, Grimmjow came out with a defiant expression on his face.
"Huh? So arrogant? Do you want to confer the title on His Majesty Jack as well? Huh?"

Grimmjow's crooked yelling immediately made Robert change his tone.
"Of course, I only canonized false gods like the Seven Gods, just to guide those stubborn believers. As for true gods like His Majesty Jack, they are not included. It is only because I have obtained the authorization from His Majesty the God King that I have the power to canonize false gods..."

He reacted quickly, worthy of being the one who could seize the throne.

Then Tao Yu turned his gaze to the side and looked at Robert's three children and Queen Cersei.

This made them all straighten their backs naturally, and Cersei even smoothed her hair to show her elegance.

But after Tao Yu glanced at them, he waved to Stanris.
"Tell him about your investigation, so that he won't be kept in the dark later."

At this time, Cersei and Jaime also secretly felt that something was wrong.

Then Stanris immediately told everything he had found out.

In the original book, because Jon died, Stanlis fled back to Dragonstone, and Eddard Stark, who had just taken over as Hand of the King, started by investigating Jon's death.

Gradually, I came to understand the truth.

It should have been a happy ending with the story of overcoming all obstacles, but he ended up creating very stressful situations time and time again.

First, after he had all the evidence and was in an overall advantageous position, he took the initiative to find Queen Cersei and told her that he had learned the secret, but for the sake of their women and children, he asked them to flee immediately.

When Robert comes back from hunting, he will report it.

And, my goodness, this reminder gave Cersei time to react, and she directly sent Robert away while he was hunting.

Originally, Robert did not die on the spot when he came back. He called Ed to write his will on his sickbed, but Ed was afraid of upsetting his old friend and did not have the heart to tell him.

He simply changed the throne in the will to "legal heir", thinking that he could control the queen with this will.

At the same time, he felt that Littlefinger was reliable and believed that he could make the Gold Cloak Guards obey his orders. He ran to Cersei with a will to confront her again.

He even handed such an important thing to the other party, thinking that he had a sure win, but it was torn up in front of him!

This blood pressure tug is quite speechless, even more exaggerated than the current blood pressure tug-of-war where the current white moonlight comes back and is kicked away.

But now, with the support of Tao Yu, Stanris told the truth, and the situation was completely different.

"Cersei! Jaime! How dare you two dogs!"

Robert thought of his first black-haired prince who died young, and his face was filled with ferocity and anger...
