Chapter 1682 Powerless
"It's all over. All the countries in the border area have collectively suffered a huge impact from the dream tide. In one day, an area with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers has been completely destroyed. Almost everyone in these cities has been infected by the power of the dream law and has become part of the dream tide."

"2000 billion people are swept up in one day. If the situation continues to develop in this way, within a year at most, the entire Nine Heavens world will be completely engulfed by the dream tide." In the court, Leng Tongyou was accepting reports from court officials.

Of course, Leng Tongyou already knew the actual situation. She even went to the border area and saw the horrific dream tide with her own eyes.

"What suggestions do you have, my dear ministers?" Leng Tongyou asked with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that all residents in the border area be immediately withdrawn 2000 kilometers to create an uninhabited area to buy us some time!" A first-rank official immediately stepped forward and said, "In addition, I request that the army be dispatched to use a collective long-range attack to kill all the Dream Tide. I also request that a few princes come out and personally suppress the situation. As long as all the Dream Tide are killed, everything will naturally stop."

"Kill them all?" Leng Tongyou immediately showed a surprised expression on his face and said, "These are all citizens of the empire, and they are not dead, they are just controlled by the dream. As long as the control of the dream is lifted, they can all come back to life. Why do they have to die?"

"But if we don't kill them all, they will infect more normal people!" The first-rank official said with a painful face, "I know that such an action is heartbreaking, but for the sake of the overall situation, please kill them without mercy."

"I cannot issue such an order, otherwise I will be a sinner for all eternity!" Leng Tongyou waved his hand and refused without hesitation. The other ministers immediately knelt on the ground and urged Leng Tongyou to order the killing of Meng Chao. Otherwise, it would not take long for the Meng Chao to spread directly to the imperial capital, and they would also be caught in this endless tide.

Faced with the numerous ministers kneeling down to force the emperor to abdicate, Leng Tongyou's expression became increasingly ugly, until a voice rang out in the palace, "A senior minister of the country actually came up with two unreliable suggestions!"

"You asked all residents in the border areas to retreat 2000 kilometers. Then I would like to ask how you can make them retreat? They are all ordinary people. When they retreat, they will definitely not give up their property. They will take everything they can. How can their speed compare to Meng Chao? Does the court have the ability to arrange vehicles and personnel to take them back?"

"Once these people retreat, I'm afraid half of them will die on the way back. This is simply a disregard for human life!"

"Also, you want to kill people to curb the dream tide. Even if we can treat those controlled by the dream as dead, how can the army stop such a huge tide of people along a line of thousands of kilometers? How can we kill them all?"

"The dream tide will eventually break through the entire defense line and rush into the imperial capital. By then, you will probably have to retreat collectively for who knows how many kilometers like those retreating residents!"

"So put away your two crappy ideas, they are totally useless!" The voice finally complained carelessly. The ministers wanted to refute, but when they saw the appearance of the person who was speaking, they finally swallowed all their words back.

There was no way. The person who was speaking was a real prince. They didn't have the courage to complain about a prince, and it was said that this was the most powerful prince in the world's history.

Although they didn't have the guts to complain, they could still ask, "May I ask Your Highness King Wen, since the suggestions we put forward are all useless, then Your Highness King Wen must have some good ideas, and we are all ears!"

"Well..." Liu Xu's arrogance just now could not help but stop a little, because Liu Xu actually didn't have a better solution. He could easily erase the dream rules. As long as he stayed in a certain place, he could easily free those who were trapped in the dream tide.

But the problem is that although Liu Xu's laws are profound, the scope of his control is very limited. He can only take care of the east but not the west, and it is impossible for him to save the crazy dream tide within the entire country. Not to mention that outside the Nine Heavens Empire, there are countless dream tides attacking various countries. Liu Xu really can't take care of the entire Nine Heavens Empire, which is so huge.

Of course, the best way is to carry out a decapitation operation, find the remaining soul of the Ancient Sage of Dream Demon, and then kill him completely. Then these ordinary people who are trapped in the dream will naturally be freed.

But the problem is that Liu Xu had just returned from the world of the Ancient Sage Mengsha. He traveled around in that world for a long time. He couldn't say that he had searched every inch of land, but he had searched about 70% to 80% of it.

But he found nothing. After all, this was the ancient sage Mengsha's own world. If he was determined to hide and control everything secretly, then Liu Xu would have no way to deal with him now.

It has to be admitted that the Ancient Sage of Dreams, who was easily controlled by Liu Xu before, has now become an extremely difficult existence for Liu Xu to deal with. Liu Xu really has no good solution for the current situation.

"It would be great if I could get here in time!" Liu Xu sighed slightly, but now he had already gone to find Jingwei. If he wanted to bring Jingwei and his mother here, it would probably take at least twenty days.

"Good news! Good news!" Suddenly, a minister rushed in and said.

"What good news?" the ministers asked one after another.

"The news sent by Marshal Qiutian said that some of the Mengchao were found lying on the ground, and some even died without our need to kill them!" said the minister happily.

"Is there such a good thing?" Other ministers also exclaimed, and the entire court suddenly became optimistic.

"Damn it, these people can't hold on now?" Liu Xu's face suddenly became even uglier, and Leng Tongyou beside him directly scolded, "You are important officials of the court, but you can still laugh when you hear that the people of our empire have died."

"These people died because the dream had controlled them for a long time. Some of them had been controlled for nearly ten days. They were living people, not corpses. They had not had a drop of water or eaten any food in ten days... Those who fell to the ground were starved to death. How can you laugh like that!"

"Yes!" The ministers quickly closed their smiles and showed sad looks, but this look made Leng Tongyou feel disgusted.

But Leng Tongyou had no other choice. Human nature was what it was. The key point was that she had no way to deal with these people from the Dream Tide. She could only say in despair, "What should I do? If I stop them, I will kill them. If I don't stop them, they will starve to death. They are all living people. Even if they die, they should die of old age, sickness and death, not starving to death like this. How can I save them!"

"Wait...birth, aging, sickness and death?" Liu Xu's eyebrows suddenly moved. "Yes...it can be like this!"
