Chapter 421: The Struggle for Humanity
Ji Zhaoyang did not conceal the contempt in his expression. The moment he finished speaking, strange human phenomena spread in all directions and turned into infinite pressure.

The Imperial City's Forbidden Army is a fierce army formed by the baptism of humanity's destiny. Although their cultivation is not high, with the blessing of humanity's destiny and the suppression of the Imperial City, they are enough to kill the immortals in the world.

But at this moment, Ji Zhaoyang had his back against the abyss that controlled the general trend of humanity, and he turned a blind eye even when surrounded by tens of thousands of imperial guards. The imperial guards of the city, armed with weapons, gathered here, and could hardly take a single step forward.

"presumptuous!"

One of the newly promoted ministers strode forward. It was the current Grand Commandant Yan Zheng.

"Even though the Third Prince has the favor of humanity, he is arrogant and has no regard for superiors or inferiors. He should be executed on the spot to rectify the laws of our Great Yin!"

The Grand Marshal expressed his opinion, and the rest of the civil and military officials also responded.

As for the powerful and wealthy families, they were hesitant and unable to make a decision for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, even if Ji Zhaoyang's cultivation was abolished, they would still support Ji Zhaoyang, the prince who would inevitably become the crown prince in the future.

However, the Emperor of Dayin and the newly promoted nobles showed extraordinary murderous intent towards Ji Zhaoyang.

If they support Ji Zhaoyang at this moment, they will be risking their own lives and property, which is why they are hesitant.

Ji Zhaoyang's eyes swept across all the dignitaries in the court without leaving a trace, and he realized in his heart that the purpose of his and Shen Yuan's previous plan had been achieved.

Shen Yuan secretly brought about the vision of humanity's favor for him, and with the help of the human trend, he allowed him to withstand the blow of humanity's punishment. He has established prestige in the hearts of all the powerful people in the court.

If Emperor Dayin had shown murderous intent towards him before entering the imperial city, the powerful and influential people would have definitely abandoned him without the slightest hesitation.

But now they are weighing the pros and cons of offending the Human Emperor and supporting Ji Zhaoyang, which is enough to prove that Ji Zhaoyang's performance is enough to make the powerful people excited.

Ji Zhaoyang knew very well that all that was needed for these powerful people to express their positions was a suitable opportunity, an opportunity that was enough to convince them.

With this thought in mind, Ji Zhaoyang drew out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at the illusory and cold figure in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Things have come to this point, why do you have to pretend anymore?

The one in the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not my Great Yin Emperor at all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials, ministers and dignitaries outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent.

The next moment, the whole place was filled with heated discussions!

“That’s just outrageous!”

"Ji Zhaoyang, are you crazy?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Offending the Emperor is a crime that cannot be forgiven!"

No matter whether they were newly promoted officials or powerful ministers, they all spoke up to refute at the first opportunity.

But after those senior and powerful officials subconsciously refuted, they fell into a strange silence.

Ever since the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, the entire Dayin Imperial Capital has been plunged into a strange chaos, and the Human Emperor's frequent stupid moves have caused turmoil in the country.

It’s not that there were no senior ministers who investigated the matter, but when all the clues pointed to the Human Emperor, the ministers and dignitaries immediately suppressed their doubts.

The Dayin Dynasty was at the peak of human prosperity, and there was a trend of all nations coming to pay tribute.

The Human Emperor follows the general trend of humanity. All evils will retreat and he will not be invaded by anything. There is absolutely no way there will be any abnormalities.

The only possibility is that the emperor is playing a big game and wants to weaken the powerful families in the imperial capital.

This speculation continued until recently.

Ji Zhaoyang showed favor from humanity, but was punished by humanity but survived. However, such a genius of the royal family was still ordered to be killed by the Human Emperor.

This was completely against the moral principles of humanity, and the thought of doubt turned into a seed and was planted in the hearts of all the powerful and noble officials.

And with Ji Zhaoyang's words that revealed the truth, the seeds of doubt finally sprouted.

The ministers and dignitaries suddenly realized that if the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was a fake, then everything would be clear.

The purpose of replacing the powerful ministers was to eliminate dissidents, and the purpose of suppressing the third prince was to prevent the royal genius from noticing the clues.

If one kills without mercy those who are favored by humanity, it is naturally because he feels guilty and is afraid of those who are favored by humanity.

A strange silence spread outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Except for the newly promoted three dukes and nine ministers who were forced to the stage, the rest of the powerful dukes and ministers followed the direction of Ji Zhaoyang's sword and fell towards the Human Emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your Majesty, please show yourself."

"The Third Prince's words are absurd. Your Majesty, please show up to prove your innocence."

"If the Third Prince is talking nonsense, I am willing to personally execute him, but for now, Your Majesty, please show up."

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the majestic figure became increasingly gloomy.

Several pairs of scarlet eyes looked at each other in the shadows. The current situation was completely beyond their control.

Finally, a huge figure hiding in the shadows slowly spoke:

"Kill them all!"

Then, a hoarse whisper came from the cold and illusory figure of the Human Emperor:
"kill!"

The Great Seal of the Human Emperor fell from the void, and the power of this important weapon of humanity forcibly broke through Ji Zhaoyang's pressure. Thousands of the Imperial City Guards stepped forward again.

But at this time, their target had changed from Ji Zhaoyang alone to all the old-time ministers and aristocratic nobles present.

The murderous aura rushed out, and immediately made many powerful people look ferocious as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

"how dare you!"

"I am the Marquis of Pingbo, conferred by the Divine and Martial Emperor. My family will inherit the throne and live forever with the country!"

"A bold lunatic who stole the throne of the Human Emperor will surely be retaliated against!"

However, all these threatening words were of no avail, as the imperial guards rushed into the midst of the powerful and began to kill people wantonly.

There are many powerful people among the powerful families, and among them there are even pillars of the dynasty who are comparable to the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao.

However, facing the siege by the Imperial City's Imperial Guards, these strongest men in the mortal world could only exert one tenth of their true strength, and the slaughter was almost one-sided.

Just when the situation in the Imperial City had been settled, bursts of shouting and killing suddenly rang out from the inner city of the imperial capital outside the Imperial City.

Above the imperial city, the destiny of humanity began to fluctuate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shadow of the Human Emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony became increasingly blurred, and that cold and eerie feeling spread uncontrollably outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"How is this going?"

The creatures in the shadows in the Hall of Supreme Harmony cried out in surprise, and the next moment their eyes were fixed on Ji Zhaoyang's prince's robes.

On the crown on his head, a gem as big as a baby's fist was shining brightly.

"Damn it, that's the Mirage Dragon Pearl!"

The Mirage Dragon Pearl was bred by the Mirage Dragon, one of the true dragons of the dragon clan, and has the ability to evolve illusions.

Daxia's projection beads were made in imitation of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and could spread projections to the entire Kyushu land through the projection arrays set up by the Dayin Dynasty in various squares. As a replica projection bead has such ability, then the Mirage Dragon Pearl can undoubtedly do the same, which means that everything that happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony later was transmitted to the land of Kyushu.

Even the scene of the puppet emperor ordering the massacre of the powerful families was transmitted.

For the major powerful families, their elders and clan elders were wantonly slaughtered by the Puppet Emperor, and there was no guarantee that the butcher's knife would fall on them the next moment.

These clans, which have masters among them and even control armies, are naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death, and they all take action to disrupt the entire imperial capital.

The trusted troops originally stationed around the imperial city went to rebel one after another, and outside the inner city of the imperial capital, several powerful armies also claimed that they wanted to enter the imperial capital to suppress the rebellion, among which there was even a Taixu fleet and two Xuntian fleets.

However, faced with such a situation, the general defending the city did not dare to open the city gate to let the troops enter the city.

No one knows whether these troops support the puppet emperor or the aristocratic nobles. Rashly letting them in will only cause greater chaos.

The entire vast inner city of the imperial capital has been thrown into chaos.

"It is absolutely impossible for us to make such a mistake. Who has concealed the secret and prevented us from noticing the existence of the Mirage Dragon Pearl?"

A low voice spoke from the shadows in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But now that the situation has reached this point, they no longer have the time to investigate which master is secretly blocking the secret.

A pale index finger popped out from the shadows and stabbed straight into Ji Zhaoyang's head, trying to kill Ji Zhaoyang and destroy the Mirage Dragon Pearl that was transmitting the image.

On the body of the third prince of Dayin, several Taoist weapons and spiritual treasures with protective lights were activated in an instant, but they were easily pierced by the pale index finger.

At the critical moment, Ji Zhaoyang tore off the prince's crown and clothes, revealing the sage's clothes underneath.

In an instant, the brilliant Taoist text fell like a waterfall, blocking the pale index finger.

Then the powerful men among the surrounding nobles and dignitaries immediately surrounded Ji Zhaoyang to protect him.

Everyone knows that facing the powerful puppet emperor, Ji Zhaoyang is the only hope.

As long as Ji Zhaoyang can be protected and escape from the imperial city, and join forces with the major families in the outside world who launched the rebellion, he can gain a chance of survival.

The imperial guards and the nobles were fighting each other in the dead silence of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The sudden attack on Ji Zhaoyang failed, and instead Ji Zhaoyang was placed under heavy protection, which made the situation even more chaotic.

Many shadows are exchanging opinions fiercely.

Some people thought that since they could no longer hide, they might as well show up and kill everyone in the imperial city.

Some people also believe that humanity's rejection of foreign creatures still exists and has not truly revealed its true nature. There is always room for maneuver to confuse ordinary people, and there is still value in continuing to hide it.

After a heated exchange of opinions, an old voice finally spoke from the shadows behind the Puppet Emperor's throne.

“Use the puppet emperor to kill everyone in the imperial city. Since it is impossible to steal the destiny of humanity safely, let this Central Humanity Dynasty collapse completely.

After the collapse of humanity, it will be the time for our Twilight Realm to emerge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the puppet emperor on the throne, who was wearing imperial robes and a glazed crown, finally made a move.

The body was already covered with cracks, like a piece of porcelain on the verge of breaking. The broken pieces on the face had fallen off, revealing a rotten hole underneath.

He stood up slowly, holding the Seal of the Human Emperor in his left hand, holding the Sword of the Human Emperor in his right hand, and strode out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Human Emperor of Dayin reappeared in the world, and the body of the Human Emperor that was on the verge of breaking was seen by everyone.

"His Majesty!"

"There really is a traitor causing chaos in the government!"

"The Emperor of Mankind is blessed by the great power of humanity. How is this possible?"

Even Ji Zhaoyang, who had guessed it long ago, looked sad when he saw the shattered Human Emperor.

"Father."

At this moment, the Puppet Human Emperor had a blank expression on his face. He just raised the Human Emperor Sword in his right hand and pointed it at Ji Zhaoyang.

The next moment, the fortune of the entire imperial city was concentrated on the body of the Puppet Emperor, as if the weight of the ancient sacred mountain had fallen on Ji Zhaoyang.

The brilliance from the sage's robes shattered with a loud bang, and Ji Zhaoyang was pressed directly to the ground, without even the strength to move a finger.

The vision of humanity's favor was shattered. Under the power of humanity's important weapon and the status of the Human Emperor, all magical powers and spells were completely suppressed. Ji Zhaoyang was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

The puppet emperor raised the emperor sword high in his hand and slashed towards the direction of Ji Zhaoyang.

This sword seemed to have crossed the great road and pointed directly to the origin of life and death. No living being could defy the life and death judged by the Sword of the Human Emperor.

Mobilizing the trend of humanity and controlling the important weapons of humanity, fragments of the puppet Human Emperor's body continued to fall off, revealing a strange darkness underneath that did not belong to humans, and even the seal of the Human Emperor was constantly shaking.

Obviously, this is already the limit of the Puppet Emperor.

The nobles and officials were furious, but no one dared to go against the trend of humanity and stop the sword. The moment the Human Emperor's sword fell, the outcome seemed to be doomed.

At this moment, this space and time seemed to have fallen into stillness, and a slightly teasing voice sounded in this frozen space and time.

"This sword is much worse than the one a few years ago."

"So, this is your limit?"

A white hand reached out from the void and slowly grasped the unstoppable Human Emperor Sword.

The clash of the great forces of humanity broke out in a billionth of a second, and an illusory shadow of an emperor appeared from behind the Puppet Emperor, facing the projection of a corner of the great forces of humanity in the future behind Shen Yuan. It turned out to be a vast and prosperous world.

The humanitarian situation controlled by the puppet emperor, who is now at the end of his rope, is vastly different from that in its heyday. How can it be compared to the humanitarian dynasty that is slowly recovering ten thousand years later?

In just a moment, the shadow of the emperor behind the Puppet Emperor was crushed by the prosperous world, and the clash of human trends decided the outcome in this static space and time.

Without the support of the human trend, the puppet emperor completely lost his status as the emperor.

The uncontrollable power of the Human Emperor's Seal dissipated, completely crushing the puppet Human Emperor's body which was already on the verge of breaking. The Human Emperor's Sword that was intended to judge Ji Zhaoyang also lost its due power and was easily taken into Shen Yuan's hands.

Time starts flowing again.

Everyone could see that in front of the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the original puppet emperor had been shattered, and replaced by Shen Yuan in white.

He just stood there, without any fancy clothes or crown, or any imperial title, but he seemed like the center of this world.

Endless human fortune continued to gather towards him, and the scattered human trend began to converge towards him again.

Every move symbolizes the supreme will of this world.

Thousands of imperial guards dropped their weapons and instinctively bowed down to Shen Yuan, as if they were meeting the supreme emperor.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Yuan's gaze fell on the silent Hall of Supreme Harmony, and he slowly lowered the Seal of the Emperor in his right hand.

"Punish the rebels!"

The next moment, the sky collapsed and the earth sank, and a magnificent seal descended from the sky, carrying the grandeur of humanity in the world.

The endless trend of humanity shattered thousands of laws and destroyed everything in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
