Wandao long distance

Guo Zitai sat in the center of the hall, and next to him was the coffin of the Human Emperor.

Logically speaking, according to "rationality", there is no need to take care of the body of the Human Emperor. At this time, there are too many places that need manpower.

The cardinals of all realms are being besieged by a large number of second-grade warriors, perhaps even seventy or eighty of them.

The same is true for dragon veins.

There are many wonders in various places that need to be guarded by the First-Rank Guards. Compared with these places, the remains of the Human Emperor are really unnecessary.

Just watch it. Even if it is stolen by someone, the loss is not a big deal.

after all……

After the death of the Human Emperor, he had lost all the halos on him, whether it was the throne or the position of General of Heavenly Strategy, he had already left and gone to a secret place, which was guarded by the Saint himself.

All the heirs who are qualified to be the "Human Emperor" are there, waiting to inherit the supreme throne.

One of them will succeed, but no one knows who it will be and how long it will take.

Here, another secret is involved.

The Human Emperor is not an official title.

General Tiance is the official position.

Every human emperor is of the first rank, for this reason.

Many people, even including Li Qi, once believed that the Human Emperor became the first-rank official through official position, and could not help but sigh that the official position system was really outrageous, as if the first-rank official could be mass-produced.

But that’s not actually the case.

There is only one first-rank official position in the human world, called General Tiance. This is also the pinnacle of the entire official system, and it is even non-renewable. Humanity can create the first one, but may not be able to create the second one.

The birth of General Tiance was even a coincidence, even with the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Before that, there was no first-rank official position in the world.

If the essence of this official position is shattered and Gundam is beaten down, it may become a swan song.

However, the mechanism of 'Human Emperor' should not cause any problems.

To become the Human Emperor, in essence, is to use a method that other sects cannot understand, which is to promote the heir directly from the second rank to the first rank. This process has nothing to do with any official position, and the throne of the Human Emperor is independent of the official system.

And only after becoming the Human Emperor will he be awarded the rank of General of Heavenly Strategy, becoming a unique double first-rank official. He is considered to have outstanding combat power in the entire world, and is still considered powerful among the first-rank officials.

But... the side effect is inevitable death, and every attack will accelerate the process.

The Human Emperor was passed down from generation to generation in this way, and everyone knew that as long as the inheritance was successful, it meant that death was approaching.

Therefore, the corpse of the Human Emperor actually does not have much value. At most, it is equivalent to one or two living second-grade people.

Viewing the corpse of the Human Emperor is of little value. Compared with a first-class battle, it is nothing.

but……

Guo Zitai couldn't bear it.

As a close minister of the Human Emperor, he had seen the other party's high-spirited appearance, and he also knew the decision made by the Human Emperor in the war between humans and witches, to give up the Sun and Moon Path in order to unite the three religions.

  How could he give up the corpse of the Emperor? He had done everything for humanity, but in the end he still had to give up the corpse? Simply because it had no value?

If value is measured in this way, Guo Zitai would rather be a fool.

People are not like this. People are not simple value measurement machines. Only animals use simple value dualism to make measurements.

You can get three pieces of bread by going to the left, and you can get two pieces of bread by going to the right, so you have to go to the left.

Only mice can do this kind of calculation, but humans are not mice. Which side humans go is entirely based on their own will and choice, and they will not be shaken by things like interests.

You have to do what you should do, even if it doesn't bring any benefit.

You should not do things that you shouldn't do, even if doing them can bring you great benefits.

This is a gentleman.

A gentleman does something and does not do something.

Yes, Guo Zitai was also a gentleman when he was young. Even in the human world which is known for its strict demands, gentlemen are among the small group of people who have the strictest self-demands.

He couldn't do it, so in the end he chose to stay.

"Give up, you can't afford to take mine." At this moment, another second-rank person who stayed in the Human Emperor Palace said so.

Li Qi had sensed before that there were two second-grade masters left here, one was suppressing and the other was doing unknown things.

In fact, Guo Zitai is the one who 'doesn't know what he is doing'.

And the other one... is the Human Emperor Sword.

The power of the Human Emperor Sword oppressed the invaders in the entire palace, hindering their progress.

But the Human Emperor Sword is a weapon after all. When no one is holding it, its power is limited. The sword energy it emits can only be a hindrance, but cannot truly become a threat.

"How will we know if we don't try to the end?" Guo Zitai tried to pick up the Human Emperor Sword again.

but……

Can't lift it.

The Human Emperor Sword is the supreme sword, representing the authority of a country. Like the Imperial Seal, it is a "national weapon". If one wants to pick it up, one must have the ability to support the weight of a country.

Guo Zitai was not qualified to be the Emperor, so he could not take it.

In fact, if he could pick it up directly, he would not be next to the coffin of the Human Emperor now, but would have gone to that mysterious place and become one of the 'candidates'.

"Go quickly. I am connected to the destiny of the country. If you can't lift it, they can't lift it either, so I will be fine. But if you don't leave, you may die here." The Human Emperor Sword persuaded.

Guo Zitai did not say anything, but just looked at the coffin of the Human Emperor.

"There is no one who has inherited the position of General Tiance yet, right? In other words, through the corpse of the Supreme, I can forcibly inherit the position of General Tiance. With this position, I should be able to defeat you." Guo Zitai said.

“To inherit the position of General Tiance is to forcibly hold a first-rank position with your second-rank cultivation. Regardless of the result being successful or not, you will die.” The Human Emperor Sword reminded.

Yes, theoretically speaking, only a true first-rank official can hold the first-rank official position, and the title of General of Tiance has its own specialness, that is, only the "Human Emperor" can hold it, and other saints cannot touch it.

The title of 'Human Emperor' can only be passed down through 'inheritance'. One cannot become the Human Emperor through cultivation. One must inherit the entire human way to obtain the status and power of the Human Emperor, and then one can safely inherit the position of General Tiance.

"As long as I succeed, all these invading second-grade warriors will die, right?" Guo Zitai asked.

"You won't succeed. If you had even a slight chance of success, you wouldn't be here now." The Human Emperor Sword was merciless.

At this moment, speaking with mercy would be a form of cruelty.

There is no doubt that as long as the Human Emperor Sword says there is a 'slightest chance', Guo Zitai will give it a try. But in reality, if there is no chance, then there is no doubt that he will die.

"That's true. With my current abilities, how long can I last? I don't need to inherit anything, I can just borrow the power forcibly." Guo Zitai asked again.

"Fifteen seconds, and it is your subjective time." The Human Emperor Sword was silent for a moment, but still gave the answer.

Guo Zitai said to himself, "Well, even if it doesn't work, when I inherit the position of Tiance General, I can still use your power. I will definitely win, but I may not be able to kill you, right..."

"It's meaningless. If they hide for fifteen seconds and then leave with you, it's no different. There's no need." Renhuang Sword advised, "Leave quickly. They will come in ten minutes at most. They are already in the inner hall. Don't destroy your lineage for your own selfish reasons."

After hearing this, Guo Zitai looked outside.

That’s right, the people blocking outside were all disciples of Guo Zitai. Although there were many schools of thought among them, they all originated from Guo Zitai, the second-rank master.

But he shook his head and said, "It is necessary."

Necessary.

"To think that retreat is right and advance is wrong, is this not a way to seek comfort from both sides? It is not a long-term plan. Although the current situation is difficult and the national situation is getting weaker, we must not lose our sense of right."

"In the past, those who used military force to accomplish great things must first consolidate people's hearts and build morale, take advantage of the terrain and refuse to retreat first, and do their best and refuse to surrender first. This is why when the Emperor of Man faced Wu and Chu at Xinggao, although he was defeated repeatedly, he refused to retreat an inch. After the Honggou was cut, Wu retreated eastward, and was eventually destroyed.

"Although the troops are weak and the food is scarce, we must stop them from retreating. From this point of view, how can we abandon the body of the former lord, be afraid of the enemy, and retreat immediately?"

"Returning the chariot can save lives, but people are shaken and have no determination. Morale is low and no one wants to fight. We retreat while they advance, forcing the enemy to cross the river again. When the message is delivered to the soldiers on the frontier, they will surely be met by traitors and traitors, and cunning officials and treacherous gangsters will follow them. They are all tigers and owls. If the younger generation wants to return to the chariot and re-establish the court amidst the thorns and rubble, it will be extremely difficult, even if it is not impossible."

“Rather than making things difficult for future generations, it is better for us to make things difficult for them first and open up a path for them so that their hearts can be righteous and they will not be disturbed or invaded by demons.”

In Guo Zitai's view, if he did not resist at all and handed over the corpse of the Human Emperor, it would be equivalent to cutting down his own flag.

He knew that in the current situation, there were too many important places that needed to be protected, and the remains of the Human Emperor were really nothing.

But the remains of the Human Emperor can be taken away but cannot be given away.

Without any decent resistance, how can we restore people's hearts when we rebuild in the future? Perhaps some powerful people think that the hearts of ordinary people are worthless, but Guo Zitai doesn't think so.

Even though there are differences in abilities, those people are undoubtedly part of the human race. They do not have the same firm heart as high-quality strong men, and they still need to grow. If they lose the support of the people because of this, or even lose their qualifications as human beings because of this, what will happen?

You know, this is not alarmist. People are not in a permanent state, and their minds are not rigid. Li Qi had a subordinate named 'Mu Yu' who used to be a human, but later chose to leave because he lost confidence and motivation.

  So what constitutes decent resistance?

Let the blood of the Second Rank prove it. If the Human Emperor is the flag of humanity, then dye the flag red so that it can be seen everywhere.

"It's not worth it." said the Human Emperor Sword.

"It's worth it." Guo Zitai did not explain why, but just closed his eyes and placed one hand on the coffin of the Human Emperor.

The mentality of retreat can be temporary but not permanent, it can be done once but not twice. Otherwise, if you retreat a step you will lose a step, and if you retreat a foot you will lose a foot.

If we keep retreating, humanity will no longer be humanity.

So, about ten minutes later.

There are a total of six invading second-grade creatures.

There is Li Qi, a real dragon, three great saints from the demon clan, and a celestial being from the secluded sect.

Six people approached the inner hall from four directions and soon walked in.

"Six of you, although I don't know who each of you is, but... please die here." Guo Zitai touched the coffin and stood up.

"Pfft..." The real dragon that had talked to Li Qi before couldn't help but laughed out loud.

He was so arrogant that he scared the dragon to death.

But Guo Zitai didn't say much, he just held the Human Emperor Sword next to him, and his official position floated up.

  The five second-rank masters nearby suddenly stopped sneering and retreated wildly! !

Only Li Qi remained there.

The real dragon couldn't help but warn him, "Hey! Fool! The first-rank official position plus the Human Emperor Sword, this guy is desperate. If you avoid him for more than ten seconds, he will die. Don't stay where you are!"

The second-rank officials communicated extremely quickly, and the information was received and understood instantly, so Li Qi also responded immediately.

He replied: "I know, but... why do I have to quit? Wouldn't it be disrespectful to quit?"

After saying this, Li Qi looked at Guo Zitai and asked, "Can you lift the Human Emperor Sword?"

Guo Zitai also said: "I can't lift it, so I will die, but you will too."

As he spoke, the sword's tip had already lit up, and the various aspects of human life could be seen engraved on the sword's spine.

Li Qi took a deep breath and said, "There is a cause and effect between me and the Human Emperor Sword that needs to be settled."

"There are too many causes and effects with the Human Emperor Sword." Guo Zitai didn't know what Li Qi was talking about.

"Back then, the Human Emperor Sword shattered the Luofu Cave Heaven. This matter needs to be carefully settled." Li Qi said.

"Are you Yang Zhenqian? Or Ge Zhichuan? No, it should be neither. You are a witch, which means... Li Qi?" Although Guo Zitai didn't know who Li Qi was, he could figure it out with a simple guess.

That’s enough of the gossip.

Guo Zitai's sword has already been swung out.

He temporarily obtained the title of General of Tiance from the corpse of the Human Emperor and used it to forcibly wield the Human Emperor's sword.

The sword that shattered the Luofu Cave in the past appeared in front of Li Qi.

A biting coldness emerged from the body, almost freezing the mind.

Unable to move.

No wonder this sword could shatter the Luofu Cave Heaven, it is really powerful.

What Li Qi felt was "observation", as if "observation" was used to anchor Li Qi's position. He was like an elementary particle, nailed in place by countless lasers. Every wisp of air had to stop, and he was even forced to enter a state of absolute zero.

Just like all human beings, each one is an observation point, and in this way Li Qi is trapped in place.

but……

Speaking of living beings, Li Qi is not bad either.

The Desire Realm emerged on Li Qi’s chest, and the sword light of the Human Emperor Sword slashed across the Desire Realm.

If it can shatter the Luofu Cave Heaven and almost kill Yang Zhenqian, can it shatter the Desire Realm?

A huge gap was created in the Desire Realm, and a huge amount of evil thoughts overflowed from it, filling the surroundings almost instantly.

Li Qi escaped from the trap and merged into the evil thoughts. (End of this chapter)
