So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Chapter 586: Change of Dynasty and Body of Doom (1/2)

Daqian Dynasty.

Royal study room.

The old emperor unfolded the document and reviewed its contents for the first time in a long time, but there was an uncontrollable anxiety between his brows.

He glanced at Qin Tian Jian Zheng in the audience calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Jian Zheng, are you really right about the vision you saw before?"

A few nights ago, nine stars lit up the night above the Daqian Dynasty.

The natural phenomenon should have been an auspicious sign, but that night, an earthquake occurred in the Daqian Dynasty, causing heavy casualties. After that, tsunamis occurred in the direction of the Arctic Abyss in Dongzhou and the World Sea in the south. Many people were displaced.

Also that night, there seemed to be some movement in the major taboo places, and all parties sent envoys to Dongzhou.

Then, news spread that the Daqian Dynasty was about to reach its end.

This news is not groundless, because there have been similar examples in the past. Whenever a dynasty falls, there will always be a forbidden place behind it.

The Forbidden Land was not the real culprit that destroyed the dynasty, but simply restored the dynasty's national destiny.

In the former demon world, I am afraid that they would not miss this opportunity to attack Dongzhou in a large scale.

After all, when the dynasty was about to collapse, it was also when Dongzhou was at its weakest.

At this time, if the Queen of the Demon Realm is willing, she can easily take over the Daqian Dynasty and control the lifeblood of Dongzhou as long as she joins forces with another force to launch a surprise attack.

Fortunately, the master of the demon world is not as violent as in the past, otherwise, the beautiful snake might have swallowed the entire dynasty... This is what the government and the public are often happy to say when they are sad.

Seeing the gray-bearded Jian Zheng nodding slowly, and confirming that his judgment was absolutely correct, the old emperor frowned and stared at him: "Jian Zheng, be careful what you say, don't spread rumors easily, and attract people. The government and the public are having trouble sleeping and eating!"

In a sense, Qin Tianjian is an important place that connects the world of immortality and the world of mortals. Their night viewing of stars is not a metaphysics, but is indeed very particular.

If the news of Jian Zheng's observation spreads, I'm afraid the entire Daqian Dynasty will be in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare... In fact, when the National Advisor was there in the past, Daqian's national destiny was already gradually declining. It was just that His Majesty was not focused on the government and the public at that time, so..."

The prisoner looked bitter and helpless. He had submitted a memorial more than once in the past, hoping that His Majesty could concentrate on government affairs. However, Gu Boxing withdrew the memorial even before it was submitted.

Because at that time, Gu Boxing completely suppressed Qin Tianjian, which also caused Qin Tianjian to be almost ignored for a long time.

It was not until Gu Boxing's death that Qintian Prison was reused again.

It's just too late.

Jian Zheng noticed the old emperor's increasingly ugly expression and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak any more.

National luck is actually a kind of luck. For the common people, national luck is almost illusory, but people in these dynasties know very well that luck is real.

Moreover, it affects everyone, even every dynasty.

Those who are extremely unlucky will have bad luck happening constantly.

On the contrary, people with great luck can pick up money whenever they go out to buy groceries. This is the function of luck.

The same is true for national destiny.

It’s just that the destiny of the country is more complicated than that of the monks. If the emperor is a wise king who knows how to manage the government and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the destiny of the country will gradually increase, and the dynasty will also be favored by heaven.

And if the emperor is a coward... the consequences are self-evident.

This is the disadvantage of dynasties in the world. If you are in a high position, you may be dedicated to serving the country and the people at first, but if you have been influenced by power for too long, you will always hope to sit in this position for a longer time.

However, this is still a world of immortals. No matter who it is, they will hope to live forever... There are too few emperors who can be consistent and dedicated.

At least in the past records of Dongzhou, even one has never appeared.

The old emperor stared at Jian Zheng for a long time without speaking.

He didn't want to believe what Jian Zheng said, but he and Gu Boxing had devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism, so he knew in his heart that the so-called national destiny and destiny were actually real.

In fact, not long ago when major towns repeatedly reported disasters, the old emperor already had a bad premonition in his heart. But just when the dynasty was in turmoil, after hearing the truth from Jian Zheng's mouth, this was simply... It was like a heavy hammer hitting the old emperor's heart, causing him to slump on the dragon chair and not speak for a long time.

"His Majesty……"

The prison officer looked at the silent old emperor and hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something else.

"Qin Tian Jian is deceiving the public with his evil words and trying to shake the foundation of the dynasty. He will be killed with a stick."

After a while, indifferent words came from the old emperor's mouth. He didn't even listen to Jian Zheng's words anymore. He just waved his hand, listened to Jian Zheng's shout behind him, and turned around to leave.

Now that the dynasty has begun to collapse, it is better to take away as much of the national destiny as possible before it is completely destroyed...

For the royal officials of the Daqian Dynasty, these days were undoubtedly the most difficult to get through.

After all, once a dynasty collapses, it is naturally impossible for the officials of the previous dynasty to continue to the next dynasty.

But for the common people in the world of mortals, how they live is actually still how they live.

This is the best of times, but it is also the worst of times.

The good thing is that in the world of immortals, with the blessing of elixirs, people's average life expectancy can almost reach 100 years, unless something unexpected happens.

The bad thing is that there is a group of powerful people playing chess, fighting openly and secretly.

And when they fight, a grain of sand that falls down is like a boulder to the mortal world.

At this moment, Mu Zhian is walking on the streets of the capital of the Dagan Dynasty.

The capital of Dagan is obviously much more lively than Tianxuan City. There are people coming and going on the streets. Every inn is almost full every day, and the noise is endless.

"I'm afraid most people don't know that the fate of the Dagan Dynasty is coming, right?" Mu Zhian said with a bit of emotion.

Once the dynasty collapses, it will also be the beginning of civil strife.

By then, the seemingly peaceful and peaceful scene of the capital will no longer exist.

Miss Tiandao looked calm. Although her face was covered with a veil and she even deliberately changed into a simple robe, she still attracted the attention of many people on the street.

No one would have thought that the executor of the Heavenly Dao rules would walk openly on the streets of the Dagan Dynasty, and even look so close to a cultivator from Dongzhou.

"Master, are you worried about the people in the mortal world? In fact, you can rest assured. As the executor of the Heavenly Dao rules, all living things are my children. I will complete the dynasty change without causing too much damage." Miss Tiandao said in a calm tone.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "By the way, I've always wondered, since most of the dynasties in Dongzhou can't last for more than a thousand years, why not create an immortal dynasty like Yuzhou?"

"If it weren't for the emperor of the human world ruling the dynasty, the time to maintain the national destiny would be much longer, right?"

"For the Heavenly Dao, isn't peace in Jiuzhou more important than anything else?"

Miss Tiandao replied expressionlessly, "For the Heavenly Dao, maintaining the stability of the rules of heaven and earth is far more important than peace in Jiuzhou. After the destruction of Jiuzhou, a new Jiuzhou will be born, but if the rules of heaven and earth collapse, the three ways of heaven, earth and man will be destroyed."

"Dongzhou is too powerful. The original intention of the Heavenly Dao is to hope that Jiuzhou can achieve a delicate balance, rather than a single dominant one. Besides, the leader of the Liangyi Sect doesn't like to interfere with the human dynasty."

"The master has been in the Liangyi Sect for so long, he should also know what Daofeng is practicing, right?"

Mu Zhian nodded gently.

Daofeng practices the law of nature, and everything is about following the laws of nature.

The sect master herself is proficient in the art of the Nine Peaks. In the final analysis, the Dao rhyme of the Nine Peaks was passed down by her, and each Dao can be combined with Dao when it reaches the end.

Although it sounds so metaphysical, Mu Zhian guessed that the sect master practiced the law of nature, so following the law of nature should be only one of the reasons. More importantly, the sect master did not want his existence to be noticed by the Heavenly Dao, so he never interfered with anything in Dongzhou.

Although the reason is unclear, from the current performance, the taboo rules set by the Liangyi Sect, the nine fairy gold locks that the sect master suspected of self-restraint, and her body never leaving the Liangyi Sect may all be for the purpose of not being noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, the will of the Heavenly Dao was so surprised when it entered the Liangyi Sect that day. She did not expect that the entire Liangyi Sect was not within the rules.

"The sect master does not interfere with the Dagan Dynasty because of the law of nature, but why do other ancient forces never interfere with the Dagan Dynasty?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Miss Tiandao said calmly: "Before the abdication of the Emperor of Dagan, he symbolized the national destiny of Dagan. If the powerful people of the ancient forces controlled him or killed him, they would be backfired by the national destiny. Even the powerful people would suffer great backfires from the destiny. No one would be willing to do such a thankless task."

Mu Zhian understood. This was the same as the past Ye Yu and other chosen people. Because they were people with great destiny, under the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth, the powerful people of Hedao could not easily attack them.

This is also to balance the situation in Jiuzhou.

"Every time a dynasty collapsed, the forbidden land would appear to recover the national destiny of Dongzhou?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Miss Tiandao nodded gently: "National destiny is much more precious than the master imagined. Every time a dynasty collapsed in the past, the forbidden land would send envoys to compete for national destiny. The last time the national destiny was taken away by the Immortal Forbidden Land."

Immortal Forbidden Land... Mu Zhian recalled the sexy queen with wheat-colored skin in his mind.

After the death of the messenger sent by the Immortal Lord Isis, there seemed to be no other movement in the Immortal Forbidden Land, and the other forbidden lands seemed to be silent all of a sudden... I think the news that the two forbidden lands joined forces to attack Mu Zhian not long ago leaked out, making the other forbidden lands afraid.

"Since you are the executor of the rules of heaven and earth, do you know who the body of doom that appears every time a dynasty falls? Is it the same person, or a different person every time?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

This time, Miss Tiandao was unable to answer, but shook her head with regret: "Sorry, Master... All the heavenly punishments in this world are executed by me, but the body of doom that appears after the fall of the dynasty is an exception."

"Because after the fall of the dynasty, the Heavenly Dao will descend on Jiuzhou for a period of time."

Will the Heavenly Dao descend?

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, and then shuddered slowly.

My guess was right. The Heavenly Dao's so-called punishment of the body of misfortune was just an excuse. If my guess was right, the Heavenly Dao simply wanted to take this opportunity to let its true body descend upon Kyushu... When Mu Zhian thought of this, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

It is said that the Heavenly Dao is ruthless. Now that I think about it, it would be a good thing if the Heavenly Dao is really ruthless.

What if the Heavenly Dao has feelings, and even has the seven emotions and six desires of humans...?

It would become a god that controls the lifeblood of the entire Kyushu and has its own desires.

The power of life and death of all living beings in this world is in the hands of it alone... Just thinking about it makes people feel creepy.

Mu Zhian took a deep breath to calm himself down, and suddenly asked, "When are you going to start the dynasty change?"

Miss Tiandao replied calmly, "The master seems to have misunderstood. It is not me who artificially changes the dynasty, but after the dynasty is destroyed, I will lead a new dynasty."

"The rules of heaven and earth are limited, so the way of heaven cannot directly take action and rewrite the dynasty."

After all, the rules of heaven and earth are not set by the way of heaven itself, but by the three ways of heaven, earth and man.

"Mr. Mu, is it you?"

Before Mu Zhian thought about the meaning of Miss Tiandao's words, he suddenly heard a familiar and pleasant voice in his ears.

Mu Zhian turned his head and looked at the voice, and saw a stunning woman who had just walked out of an inn.

Her face was covered with a translucent veil, slightly covering her beautiful face, and her beautiful eyes stared at him slowly, with some surprise in her eyes, and joy hidden deep in her eyes.

"Princess Yongning?"

Mu Zhian said in a voice transmission: "Why are you here?"

Although the veil worn by the eldest princess was a magic weapon that concealed her breath, the natural spirit body could still detect the familiar breath on her body, and Mu Zhian immediately identified the other party's identity.

There were many guests coming and going in front of the inn, and some people's eyes swept over Mu Zhian and others. Although the two women had veils covering their true faces, it was not difficult to guess that they must be great beauties just by their temperament.

This also made them more curious about the identity of this young man.

Princess Yongning looked at the woman next to Mu Zhian with doubts, and soon noticed the gazes of these passers-by, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Mu is free? It's not convenient to talk here. If you don't mind, please follow me to the palace."

Mu Zhian glanced at Miss Tiandao and saw that she didn't seem to have any expression, so he nodded gently.

The three of them took an ordinary carriage and stopped not far from the palace, and then changed to the palace's carriage and drove into the palace leisurely.

"When I want to go out of the palace occasionally, I will dress up a little like this, and usually no one will stop me."

In the slightly shaking carriage, Princess Yongning took off her veil, revealing a graceful and beautiful face, and smiled at Mu Zhian with a reserved and elegant smile.

When she said this, her eyes stayed on the woman next to Mu Zhian for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Who is this...?"

This person is here to see the Dagan Dynasty off...

Of course, no matter what he thought, Mu Zhian naturally couldn't say Tiandao's identity so bluntly.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "She is a friend of mine, but she doesn't like to talk much."

He paused and changed the subject: "The Dagan Dynasty has been in turmoil recently. Does Princess Yongning have any important things to do? It is very dangerous to leave the palace during this sensitive period."

Princess Yongning said softly, "There have been rumors in the palace recently. They all say that the strange phenomenon in the sky is an ominous sign. In the past, dynasties have changed shortly after the ominous sign came. It is also rumored that the outside world is now turbulent... So I want to come out and see for myself."

When he said this, the elegant smile in the past seemed to be restrained a little, and there was a bit of sadness on his beautiful face.

Although my father was devoted to cultivating immortals and had no intention of governing the government in the past, who would want to see his country eventually fall?

She quickly adjusted her thoughts and looked at Mu Zhian and said, "Mr. Mu would not come to the capital for no reason. I think there must be something important. Is there anything I can help with?"

"Yongning has always remembered Mr. Mu's kindness last time, so if there is anything you need help with, you can tell me."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "In fact, I came to the Dagan Dynasty this time, and I do have something I want to ask Princess Yongning for help."

Under Princess Yongning's puzzled eyes, Mu Zhian spoke again:

"I want to go to the library of the Dagan Dynasty to take a look."
