The corner gives the wooden martial arts master, whose martial arts are equivalent to a harem.

"This is my poor grandson's last wish. I must bring back the government that belongs to the people of Kyushu from the underworld."

The aged former emperor had sharp eyes. Although his aura was mixed, it was powerfully suppressed and transformed into his own, as still and unyielding as a deep pool and a towering mountain.

He truly lives up to his reputation as an old monster, but his battle armor makes his methods even more... cruel? Or perhaps as bizarre as a demon?

"Can such forging techniques really transform a martial artist into an object? No, upon closer inspection, it turns out to be due to Hong Yexuan's own supernatural abilities. Even his battle armor possesses two extraordinary supernatural powers. What's even more amazing is that the battle armor is integrated with Hong Yexuan like his skin, and it can enhance Hong Yexuan's entire body with its power, while also correcting the subtle flaws in Hong Yexuan's martial arts."

The Great Sage frowned slightly, finding this method both novel and cruel.

"As expected, when it comes to harming others, even demons may not be as ruthless as the human heart."

He shook his head in disappointment, placing his only hope in those who still possessed a conscience.

If the world were to degenerate to the point that everyone was evil, the Great Sage would probably not hold back and would destroy everything in one fell swoop.

But is it really possible for such an extreme situation to exist?

Gu Chuanhen glanced at the text broadcast in the corner, and then he understood the answer to his question.

No wonder they're called old monsters; they even include armored warriors in their ranks.

Gu Chuanhen didn't know how to describe the martial armor's techniques, so he didn't bother to describe them. What mattered to him was only what Hong Yexuan said.

"People from Kyushu? Could it really be a case of a switcheroo, allowing people from Kyushu to sit on the dragon throne of the barbarian dynasty?" Gu Chuanhen asked curiously.

He had only ever seen this kind of situation in novels. For example, the story of Emperor Qianlong and Chen Jialuo being brothers.

Upon hearing Gu Chuanhen's words, Hong Yexuan did not hesitate and spoke frankly and directly.

"That's right, I am indeed from Kyushu. My grandfather, Hong Zhishun, was the nominal son of the Emperor, but in reality, he was the son of Hong Xiangchou, a famous minister of the previous dynasty. In the past, the Emperor did not hesitate to send his beloved Empress Zhuang Xiao to persuade his great-grandfather, Hong Xiangchou, to surrender."

Knowing there was no way to reverse the situation, my great-grandfather could only plan for the long term. Therefore, he made a deal with Empress Zhuangxiao, and from then on, he submitted to the barbarian dynasty. He served as the tutor of the Crown Prince and taught my grandfather. He also secretly placed his old subordinates into the palace and carried out a series of meticulously planned schemes.

In the end, they managed to deceive Yezhu Pi, who was faking his death and recuperating, and also fooled the Emperor who was in seclusion to prolong his life. Those two old wild boars even thought that the seats were occupied by their barbarian tribesmen. Hehe.

By my generation, my martial arts skills had far surpassed those two. To ensure the stability of my descendants, I defeated them and fused them into my martial armor.

We've already gone this far in answering all your questions, so there's no need to go into further details.

Hong Yexuan was unaware that Gala was broadcasting this situation live to everyone in the world.

This secret history concerning the royal family of the barbarian dynasty also caused a great uproar.

-

"This world still belongs to the people of Kyushu, that's wonderful." Some people rejoiced.

Some people wondered: "Since it's still our Kyushu's territory, is it really necessary for us to rebel?"

"Rebel! We still have to rebel! So what if it's still the land of the people of Kyushu? Have you forgotten the awful days we lived in the past?" someone corrected.

···

Liu Xuanhuang shook his head with a solemn expression: "So what if the emperor is still a person from the Nine Provinces? Even if the people's livelihood gradually improved during Hong Yexuan's reign, I have not seen any diligence in governing and love for the people. I only see the world gradually deteriorating. Such a court should still be overthrown. However, the public opinion needs to be properly corrected."

Then Xuanhuang Gong turned to face Sun Tianxing and Guo Dixiang beside him.

What do Mr. Tianxing and Mr. Dixiang think?

They had joined forces and were discussing how to unify the three kingdoms of Wu, but the discussion was suspended after the broadcast.

"Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges. Those grown in between are of mixed quality and are not pure. Although Hong Yexuan's actions during his rule show that he wanted to assimilate the barbarian tribes into the Nine Provinces, this slow and gradual approach, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, has led to the decay of the Nine Provinces to a point where it is difficult to reverse the situation." Sun Tianxing shook his head. "Even if he had many considerations, it was not enough to improve the reputation of the barbarian dynasty."

Guo Dixiang was even more direct: "The feudal autocracy is already a dying candle. Even if we reveal this secret history, it will be difficult to continue. Let's see if Master Gu can kill Hong Yexuan. If Master Gu loses, then we need to seriously consider how to defeat Hong Yexuan."

After Guo Dixiang finished speaking, Liu Xuanhuang and Sun Tianxing nodded in agreement.

···

"Although Master Gu defeated Nalan Yuanshu and Emperor Longqian, Hong Yexuan is not easy to deal with." Chang Zhongqing and Cao Mengze sat side by side, watching the broadcast, and said, "The feeling that the martial armor he wore was very similar to the super-mechanical martial arts of Xuanhuang Gong and the others."

Cao Mengze shook his head.

"Hong Yexuan is not difficult to deal with. If Gu Chuanhen can destroy it in front of Emperor Longqian, then Hong Yexuan will also need to spare some attention to suppress the influence of the Emperor Taizhu and Yezhu Pi's fist intent on him, thus weakening his strength."

But Gu Chuanhen did not do that. Perhaps he was arrogant or foolish, but it seemed more like he was fearless.

This kid does seem a bit strange to me. I think I see something similar in him to my "Marriage Divine Skill".

His martial arts also gave birth to a 'child' belonging to martial arts. However, it was not a mating between martial arts, but rather a 'child' born from him and at least three martial arts.

That child is far stronger than my own children.

Cao Mengze possesses a unique martial art called "Marriage Seed Divine Skill," which originated from a sudden inspiration he had while cultivating his mind by planting peas.

What would happen if peas were hybridized? Based on this idea, Cao Mengze hybridized peas...

In the years that followed, he deciphered the three major laws of heredity: the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment, and the law of dominance.

Then he had a wild idea: what if martial arts were also considered as peas? Thus, the "Marriage Seed Divine Skill," which was created with this idea as its core, was born.

The character “嫁” means grafting, while the character “种” naturally refers to martial arts as a seed.

The two are combined, which means grafting begins from the seed, thus obtaining a hybrid martial art.

From then on, Cao Mengze became unstoppable in hybridizing the various martial arts techniques he had collected with the "Marriage Divine Skill." It was as if she were a wife who had become a husband, and since the skills she had collected were not enough, she also had to openly and secretly compete for, steal, cheat, and rob other people's martial arts.

Because he resorted to any means to acquire martial arts, by this time he had mixed and intertwined more than ten thousand different martial arts techniques. Through quantitative change, qualitative change occurred. Even though Cao Mengze's lifespan was only thirty-five years old, he already possessed martial arts skills that spanned a thousand years.

With his vast martial arts skills and seemingly numerous offspring, Cao Mengze was blessed with many talents, making him a one-man army. He also saw through the secrets of Gu Chuanhen's martial arts.

"However, this is quite interesting. Gu Chuanhen's martial arts skills are indeed quite interesting. I need to think of a way to get my hands on his martial arts as well." A glint of cunning flashed in Cao Mengze's eyes.

Chang Zhongqing, the disciple beside him, glanced at Cao Mengze briefly without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

However, one can discern from his eyes a sense that "he can be replaced."

To plot a coup? Wrong.

"How can a true man remain subservient to others for long? Master, I wonder if your divine power of 'marriage seed' can surpass the power I created based on it. But when will I be able to wait until the day you become weak?"

Chang Zhongqing thought to himself.

-

The uproar from the outside world had no effect on Gu Chuanhen.

"So, there are at least three people inside your armor: your two nominal ancestors, Ye Zhupi and the Emperor Taizhu, and your bloodline grandson, Emperor Longqian, right?"

Hong Yexuan answered honestly, "That's right, it was those two wild boars and my poor grandson."

Gu Chuanhen nodded slightly and said softly, "Since that's the case... then—"

He paused slightly, but had already assumed a fighting stance.

"It's perfectly reasonable for our family of four to beat up your four generations of grandparents and grandchildren, isn't it?"

Why is it a family of four? It's because the Heavenly Transformation hasn't begun yet.

The second martial arts competition to determine the victor and determine life or death has begun.
