In the troubled times of the ten directions, the Martial Saint in the world!

"Original Heavenly Lord?"

The old man murmured softly, with a strange look in his eyes, "Young man, are you teasing an old country boy like me? That's the legendary god!"

"That's right! In the future that I see, this young man will dominate the world for twenty years, be invincible in the martial arts world, hold a high position among the officials, and have power over the government. Finally, he will set foot on the immortal path and become the original Heavenly Venerable above the immortals and Buddhas!" Chen Xiu chuckled and spoke, with a lot of tenderness in his eyes.

The old man was slightly startled, then shook his head and said with a leisurely smile: "Okay, okay, then let's do as you say! As for me, an old man, I will try to live to twenty years later to see if your divination is accurate."

As he spoke, he looked at the limping figure with great pity, his eyes were gentle, and he said softly: "Chen kid, did you hear that? This young man thinks highly of you, so don't lose face, and make sure to live well, and don't let the eldest master misjudge you!"

Chen Xiu looked at the determined and thin figure, with many lights and shadows flashing in his eyes.

Under his gaze, the figure walked to the street and met Zhang Yuanshan, the then chief constable of Tianye City, and witnessed a bizarre murder and massacre.

Because of fear, the young "Chen Xiu" stood trembling on the side of the road, at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, Chen Xiu noticed the broken blade that fell on the side of the road. He looked dazed, and many memories came to his mind. He subconsciously raised his hand, and the vast and profound laws of heaven and earth surged like a tide, converging on the broken blade.

As if they were in sync, or as if it was destined, the "Chen Xiu" reached out his hand and grasped the broken blade! At this moment, millions of lights and shadows seemed to appear in his eyes, and his childish and immature face also became more ruthless, ferocious, and mature!

"Cause and effect are cyclical, and everything goes back and forth. This is also the origin of the [Martial God Canon]. The me in the past received the gift from the me in the future who will achieve the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and possessed the [Martial God Canon], thus embarking on the path of cultivation. Every bite and every drink is predestined." Chen Xiu sighed softly and took a step towards the distance.

The next moment, the light and shadow on both sides changed, and the void was distorted!

What came into his sight was no longer the poor and dilapidated Tianye Mansion, but the magnificent and luxurious Imperial Court of the Sui Dynasty!

"King Wucheng, the guardian of the country!"

As the resounding words rang out, "Chen Xiu," wearing a royal robe, knelt on one knee, looked pious, and took the imperial edict with great solemnity, saying loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"King Wucheng, this is the grace of your majesty, you must not let it down!" The messenger's words rang out, and "Chen Xiu" said loudly: "Chen Xiu will never forget it, and will definitely wipe out the rebels, kill the bandits, and clear the world for the Great Sui Dynasty!"

Looking at that figure, Chen Xiu laughed and said with a playful tone: "At that time, I probably never thought that many years later, I would be the only person in the world who witnessed the fall of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and the one who started the chaos in the world!"

At that time, he had just entered the realm of Xiaoyao Heaven, and he was quite prestigious both in the court and in the martial arts world! And all this prestige came from his identity - the King of Wucheng, the guardian of the Sui Dynasty!

Chen Xiu took another step forward, and the light and shadow in his eyes changed and distorted again!
This time, what came into his sight was the mottled and withered imperial palace, the desolate and deserted Sui Dynasty palace, and the roar of killing!
Yang Guang sat high on the central throne, overlooking the figure standing in the hall. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was only a playful look on his face. He said calmly: "Why, now, Lian Qing is also thinking of becoming a traitor?"

Yang Guang!

Even though he has now attained enlightenment and become a master of great supernatural powers, Chen Xiu still cannot forget the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty!
After all, his ordinary life in the underworld started to go completely out of control when he met him!

Chen Xiu smiled calmly, "If Your Majesty is willing to bow down and serve as a slave in the Buddhist sect, and shave your head to become a monk, then I will take my leave!"

"If you don't want to, please kill yourself!"

At that time, I really liked to use the method of provoking others!
Looking at this scene, Chen Xiu smiled with a nostalgic smile, and whispered to himself: "The fortune of Buddhism at that time was above Yang Guang! Therefore, they needed to save Yang Guang's life and let the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty die of old age to give Buddhism time to prepare! At the very least, they had to make the Emperor shave his head and become a monk, join Buddhism, and be controlled by them! But I calculated this at that time, and retreated to advance, which angered the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang laughed loudly, his laughter was extremely crazy, extremely ferocious, and extremely arrogant!
He looked down at "Chen Xiu" and said sternly: "I am the Son of Heaven, the Supreme Ruler, and the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. How can I become a slave of Buddhism?"

"In this case, Your Majesty, please commit suicide!" The "Chen Xiu" knelt on one knee with a solemn expression!

"I'm not afraid, but I don't understand!" Yang Guang's words echoed in Chen Xiu's ears, roaring like thunder: "I don't understand, why do people in this world want to rebel against me? Those untouchables, I let them live, I give them food, and they actually want to rebel against me!!"

Yes, why would they oppose you?
This is a question that you, sitting in the throne room, will never be able to figure out!

Chen Xiu said softly: "Because they can't survive."

At this moment, the present Chen Xiu seems to completely resonate with the past Chen Xiu!
"They can't survive? How can they not survive? In my world, how can they not survive?" Yang Guang roared loudly, his words like thunder!
"When I was young, I conquered the Turks in the northern border; when I was an adult, I conquered the southern Chen and unified the world! Since I ascended the throne, I have dug long trenches, built the Great Wall, built the Eastern Capital, and opened the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south! I promoted Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and opened up the imperial examinations to recruit scholars, opening up a wide range of opportunities for the poor! My achievements are enormous, and I have spread my knowledge throughout the world. All nations come to pay tribute to me, and all directions come to pay homage to me! In such a world, how could they not survive? In such a world, why are those untouchables still not satisfied and want to rebel against me?"

"Because what your majesty said is all false!" Chen Xiu spoke slowly, his words calmly: "The common people are having a hard time and have nowhere else to turn, so they can only rebel! If the world is peaceful and everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear, who would be willing to take the risk and go against the court?"

Ha ha ha ha--

Yang Guang, with disheveled hair, laughed loudly and said sternly: "Then let me ask you, throughout the ages, has there been anyone who has done better than me? The Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor were not as accomplished as me. The Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation, and Emperor Han was obsessed with war! The emperor of the Jin Dynasty was even more incompetent and ignorant! I am the best!" "Maybe now, you are doing the best! But in the near future, after the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, a new dynasty will be born! That dynasty will be tens of millions of times better than the Sui Dynasty!" As the indifferent words sounded, Yang Guang's eyes narrowed slightly!
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the "Chen Xiu" in front of him seemed to have completely changed into a different person at this moment, becoming even more imposing and domineering!
"The future, can you see the future? Who are you?" Yang Guang spoke sternly, his eyes fierce: "Then let me ask you, why did so many wealthy families rebel against me? I gave them official positions, I gave them generous salaries, and even fiefdoms!! In my heart, they are good friends, old friends, and even relatives through marriage!! Why did they rebel against me?" Yang Guang roared and roared, as if he wanted to tell everything in his heart.

"If it were me in the past, I might say that it was because you opened the imperial examinations to recruit scholars, opened up a path for the poor, broke the Nine-Rank System, and broke the pattern of no poor in the upper ranks and no powerful in the lower ranks in the Great Jin Dynasty, making all the noble families in the world hate you completely!" Chen Xiu spoke in a calm voice, "But now, I can only say that it's because you are not strong enough! If you are strong enough, no matter whether it is a thousand-year-old family or an eternal sect, they will all bow down to you!"

Yang Guang was stunned. He said slowly, "The aristocratic clans have accumulated thousands of years of experience, and have a profound foundation. They also have divine weapons to suppress their luck. It's easy for you to say, but who can do it?"

"I can do it! My future self has done it!" At this moment, the "Chen Xiu" of the past and the Chen Xiu of the present said in unison!
You, did it?
There was an incredible look in Yang Guang's eyes!

He said coldly, "What about Buddhism? I promoted Buddhism, and there are 8,000 temples in the world. The incense is extremely prosperous. I even allow Buddhists not to pay tribute! But why did they betray me?"

Chen Xiu sneered and said indifferently: "There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many pavilions are in the mist! The former Southern Chen Dynasty established Buddhism, opened many Buddhist temples, and even allowed royal children to worship Buddhism. However, when the iron hoof of the Great Sui crossed the Yangtze River, didn't Buddhism still not take action?"

"They watched the fall of the Southern Chen Dynasty from the sidelines! Now, they don't care about the fall of the Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Guang said slowly: "If it were you, how would you deal with Buddhism and Taoism? They have faith and they have enough power! Even enough to shake the imperial court!"

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish! In the imperial dynasty, imperial power is supreme; in the human world, humanity is respected! Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, we are all people of the dynasty, nothing more!" Chen Xiu spoke in a cold voice, his words decisively!

Yang Guang seemed quite shocked!

He had never expected that Chen Xiu's solution would be like this!

"Then I will ask you one last thing!"

Yang Guang stared at this strange yet familiar figure and said sternly: "Is there any meaning to all that I have done?"

"Perhaps, it seems meaningless now. However, the opening of the canal and the development of the Western Regions will benefit future generations! The promotion of the three-province and six-department system will also be developed in the future!" Chen Xiu said in a calm voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guang laughed out loud, "That's good, that's good!! What I have done will benefit future generations. Good! Very good!"

He calmly smoothed his long hair, raised his head proudly, and said sternly: "Son of Heaven, there is a way for an emperor to die. How can you be killed by a blade? It is not in accordance with the etiquette of an emperor to have your head and body separated! I wonder if you can help me, my dear minister!"

"Chen Xiu" took off the jade-buckled lion belt from his waist and held it up with both hands: "In this case, Your Majesty, take the jade belt and hang yourself to death, which can also be regarded as preserving the dragon body! The jade belt was also given by Your Majesty in the past, and it does not disgrace Your Majesty's status!"

“That’s very good!” Yang Guangda smiled, took the jade belt, and said in a heroic tone: “Very good, very good! So good, really very good! Hang me here, and those who enter through the door or peek through the window will feel the grandeur of the sky at a glance! It fits perfectly with the painting, I am the eternal saint, it should be so! It should be so!”

As he spoke, Yang Guang slowly let go of the jade belt on the beam, and walked up to the Golden Dragon Desk alone. He carefully arranged his hair to maintain his posture!
He looked back deeply and felt only desolate and miserable!
The final journey of the Sui Emperor turned out to be like this!
The Golden Throne Hall was now empty, desolate, and extremely deserted! The only person standing in the hall was Chen Xiu! !

Yang Guang sighed softly: "The dynasty is gone, and I am old, and most of my old friends have disappeared! The Great Sui Dynasty has finally come to an end..."

In the past, there were many ministers in the court, but now the palace is deserted!
Yang Guang shook his head slightly and said loudly: "Chen Xiu, I really regret that we met too late! It is my misfortune that I could not meet a hero like you when I was young! The jade seal of the Sui Dynasty is the door to heaven. Now, it is my last reward to you!!! After all, who told you that you are the last loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty! There are all the methods in the calligraphy of the emperor's study! Even if I die, I want to let the world know that you are a minister of the Sui Dynasty and you have obtained the secret treasure of the Sui Dynasty!"

Chen Xiu clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Chen Xiu, thank His Majesty the Great Sui for your gift!!"

Yang Guang placed his head between the jade belts, looked at the empty palace, and said with some emotion: "This is really the place where the sun is about to set, and it is so dark and soul-destroying! I never thought that I, Yang Guang, would die like this!"

He kicked the dragon platform open, and in the space of a breath, he gathered all his internal energy, his soul, his innate bloodline, and even his magical powers, and instantly transformed himself into an ordinary person in the world.

A deep and painful sound rang out, echoing in the halls! !
Yang Guang gritted his teeth and tried his best to stay calm!

"The King of Wucheng, the guardian of the country of the Great Sui Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanjing Division, the governor of Jiangnan, the great general of Shenwei, the chief hall master of the Zhenfa Shenwu Hall, Chen Xiu! In the meantime, I respectfully bid farewell to His Majesty the Saint of the Great Sui Dynasty!!" Chen Xiu spoke in a loud and clear voice! !
The light and shadow in Chen Xiu's eyes dissipated, but the difference was that this time he did not glimpse the light and shadow of the more distant future!
Because the "Chen Xiu" of the past was looking at him, with those clear and cold eyes, as if they had seen through thousands of years!

"Are you, the future?" Chen Xiu from the past spoke softly, with a hint of trepidation and caution in his words.

"That's right, I am you in the future! Or rather, I am you after you become the supreme god or Buddha." Chen Xiu said with a faint smile.

What will I be like after becoming a god or Buddha?
The eyes of the past Chen Xiu changed slightly, "So, my future self is very powerful?"

"Very impressive, everything goes well!" (End of this chapter)
