I just covet their strength

Chapter 303: He Started His Business by Selling Ditch

Westhead sat up amidst the curious gazes from all around, with his back resting on Reshia's chest, and hugging the Bright Holy Spirit that had crawled over to him, and began to show off his profound knowledge to his friends.

"By the way, do you know the race of Emperor Qianlu?"

Yurda: "Isn't she a fairy?"

Westhead glanced at Rozana and found that the latter had a slightly strange expression, so he smiled and said:
"This matter is not a secret within the royal court, but it is also a taboo. To civilians and outsiders, the royal court claims that the God Ancestor was born a fairy, which is not wrong. After all, demons can be considered a type of fairy in a broad sense."

"Wait, you said enchantment, not charm."

Yulda's eyes widened when she heard that and she was about to scream out loud, but when the words reached her throat, she covered her mouth with her hands.

Only the big purple eyes blinked, full of surprise.

Westhead shook the ritual book in his hand and said:
“Although this book makes the story of [Emperor Qianlu] very vague and deliberately conceals the origin story, I can still see it.”

The great beings who have ascended to the heavens all have their own unique skills and have made great achievements.

Even their origins and races are different, no two are the same.

[The Most Glory Holy Tree] is the innate holy spirit, the purest life of order.

[Wings of the Star Abyss] is a visitor from outer space, an immortal ancient dragon with the sea of ​​stars as its wings.

The starting point of these two gods is the highest. Their birth alone is a destination that others can never reach. This is fate, there is nothing you can do about it.

But this does not mean that becoming a god is a matter of bloodline, and the starting point is not that important on the road to becoming a god.

For example, Westhead is already very clear about the deeds of [Lord of the Sky]. Similar to [God of Eternal Mist], both of them ascended from mortals to become gods. Compared with their origins, the fickle fate and firm will are more important.

Among the gods, the only one whose origin is lower than that of mortals is Emperor Qianlu, a guy who was born a demon.

The so-called demons are a kind of special spirits that exist in the land of Luyin. They live in the dark forests and deep in swamps. At night, they attack in the form of spirits and sneak into people's dreams to suck their essence. This behavior is not fatal unless it continues for a long time on the same person.

Simply put, people call demons "succubus" and "night demons", and their nature can be seen from this. And because the special abilities of demons are totally incompatible with their weak powers, they will be captured by the surrounding monsters and used as stars. What happens afterwards is not something that mortals can understand, and it is the extent that they will be shocked if they know about it.

Mortals at most have no positive buff, no increase or decrease, but the demon's temptation is a pure debuff.

They lack entity and are easily corrupted by chaos; they survive by absorbing essence, but their own strength is weak. They are at the bottom of the many spirit species in the Land of Luyin, and can only be included in pornographic novels as cups, or as dirty jokes for people to talk about after dinner, because they are really not threatening at all!

However, even from such lowly spirits and monsters, extremely special individuals were born.

The land where the Qianlu Royal Court is located is called the "Land of Luyin", which is a nice way of saying it after the gods founded the country. Before the birth of [Qianlu Emperor], it was called the "Land of a Thousand Lakes", the most chaotic and disorderly area in the entire mortal world, its purity is close to that of the Yonglan territory in the past - perhaps even worse than the latter.

The Land of Yonglan is only adjacent to Chaos, and the majority of it is still human settlements. But the Land of Thousand Lakes is not a place for humans to stay. To put it bluntly, this place contributes 80% of the non-human species in the entire mortal world, and all kinds of strange races live together on this land.

With such a complex ethnic ecology, the situation in the Land of Thousand Lakes can be said to be very complicated. Different ethnic groups fight each other, and the spiral of hatred is endless. It is a cesspool among cesspools.

In the midst of the chaos, where various tribes were killing and exterminating each other, a low-level demon began to rise. He perfectly broke through the limitations of his own race, conquered and united one tribe after another with his charm, and finally linked the entire Thousand Lakes together, unifying them under the command of a royal court.

Among all the ascended gods, [Emperor Qianlu] was probably the one who committed the least murder. He established his fanatical kingdom in the mortal world without having fought many tough battles. He relied on foreign exchanges.

However, if that were all, there would still be many doubts about this great achievement.

How did [Emperor Qianlu] unite all the tribes? They were so stupid that they rebelled at your suggestion? Considering [Emperor Qianlu's] demonic identity, it's hard not to suspect that he started out as a swindler.

Alas, this is not unofficial history, because He really did start out by selling ditch goods.

Although he did sell his ditch, the main factor for Emperor Qianlu's ascension to godhood was still his talent.

This demon created a great magic spell that reached from heaven to earth, covering the entire Thousand Lakes Land.

【Thousands of Rites】

Turning to the middle page of the ritual book, it is a hymn to the Thousand Laws:

"Call for distant sounds to travel across the sky, and play harmonious notes across the lake."

"By day, spread kindness; by night, spread knowledge."

[Emperor Qianlu] adapted to local conditions and connected all the spiritual veins of Qianhu. The unprecedented top-level ritual structure linked the will and spirit of all surrendered tribes at their respective spiritual vein nodes. An ensemble chapter connected all the creatures in the country, playing an infinite loop of music created by [Emperor Qianlu].

The Thousand Laws Code is essentially an extremely sophisticated chaos energy conversion device.

It absorbs chaotic energy, then continuously filters it through the form of "rhythm", and finally forms pure orderly energy. As long as the ensemble does not stop, this transformation will continue.

The perpetual motion machine is complete!
The Qianlu Royal Court does not need the arbitration and mediation of the Divine Ancestor. The rituals will naturally make fair judgments. The royal court is well-ordered, with clear classes, and is always peaceful and tranquil.

Westhead coveted this technique very much. Although to the gods, perpetual motion machines were nothing, many miracles and holy objects could function as perpetual motion machines. However, they all relied on divine power to maintain them. Without the divine power injected by the gods, the miracles would fade away.

Besides, is it so easy to master divine power? If one is tainted with too many traces of other gods, his own path may be difficult to follow. Westhead has been trying to avoid being infected.

But the [Thousand Laws Ceremony] is different. It is a pure product of technology, and it is also a great achievement that [Thousand Laws Emperor] accomplished when he was a mortal. The most important thing is that it is truly a materialized product. The circuit of the law sound is like the small sacred tree of the empire, which is a miracle that can be touched and seen.

If this isn't a ruthless poaching, is he still a human being?

After listening to Westhead talking about this, Leixia said thoughtfully: "That is necessary. So, we will march into the Qianlu Royal Court later? Even if there is a civil strife in the Royal Court, it is unlikely."

Westhead's idea is beautiful, but it would be difficult to conquer the Qianlu Royal Court in the same way as he did the Kingdom of Yonglan.

The biggest reason why Lord Qinghui was able to launch a powerful attack on the Kingdom of Yonglan and conquer the Land of Knights was that he had a legitimate reason to do so. Even though social order was in chaos during the era of strife, there was a bottom line that he would absolutely obey, and that was the belief in the God Ancestor.

You know, every kingdom of order has a backup plan left by the God Ancestor. [Eternal Storm Rider] infuses his own divine blood along with the will of steel into [Heart of Storm]. If Mephis and others are determined to fight to the death with him, then Westhead really can't be the King of Endurance.

What capital do you have to ask God for blessings?
However, the purpose of the Steel Guardian is only to identify the qualifications of the king, so it will only be strengthened once to complete a battle.

As long as Westhead proves that he indeed has the courage and strength to be a king, they will naturally welcome the king with joy and submission, and the blood of the ancestor god will only be used as a last resort.

But such a special situation can only be used once. Westhead has already said shamelessly that he has also studied the path of knighthood. He can't say that he has also made achievements in the path of resonance, right?
He really couldn't make this up. Even if they could share the talents of a transcendent being on the path of resonance, the elves of the royal court wouldn't buy it.

The only consequence of rushing in and robbing is that you will be attacked and beaten to death by a group of royal court masters who resonate with the rhythmic sound circuit. This is the essence of the Kingdom of Order!
The half-elf with emerald green hair hesitated for a long time before finally taking a step forward and saying:

"Lord Qinghui, allow me to remind you that the Qianlu Royal Court is very xenophobic. They are quite hostile to the joining of miscellaneous musical notes. There are also many factions within the Royal Court. However, when facing external enemies, they will become extremely united and will never tolerate any enemy destroying the harmony of the Land of Music."

Westhead raised his eyes and nodded, "I know."

Although all order kingdoms are inherently xenophobic, the Qianlu Royal Court is undoubtedly the best among them.

If the Sky Kingdom is just incredibly arrogant and the Yonglan Kingdom only has problems with non-humans, then the Qianlu Royal Court indiscriminately discriminates against all foreigners who do not join the ensemble.

No matter how fierce the palace conspiracies and power struggles are within the royal court, the cities in the lake will not impose war on their compatriots. Some political struggles will be enough.

Once foreign affairs are involved, the entire land of Luyin will show extraordinary unity. In fact, for thousands of years, the royal court has been in a state of isolation.

Up to now, there are very few windows for external communication. Yuanxi Territory, relying on the relationship with the Holy Spirit of Void Law, has become the largest transit point. It is even more difficult to enter than the Kingdom of Sky - the people of Sky will not prohibit outsiders from entering, provided that you really have the ability to climb to the floating city under the suppression of the [Ceremony of Ascension].

Westhead adjusted his sitting position and leaned back so that he could rest his head on Reshia's shoulders. He stretched out a finger and played with the Holy Spirit's hair on her forehead, and said slowly:
".So we need to find an excuse for the Qianlu Royal Court. It would be best if the Royal Court takes the initiative to invite us to the Land of Luyin."

As a half-elf who grew up in the royal court, Rozana knew the nature of the elves in the royal court very well. Seeing Westhead's confidence, she couldn't help but continue:
"Is this possible? Lord Qinghui, I don't mean to question or..."

"Then don't question it! At least the Qianlu Royal Court definitely has a need!"

Westhead said firmly, "How long has it been since you last heard from the Royal Court? I can predict that in the near future, the entire Royal Court will be at risk of being torn apart by a huge crisis, and at that time, it will naturally want to seek external assistance."

Lord Qinghui directly used his own prestige to block his mouth, so naturally there is nothing to say. This is the amazing wisdom of our wise and brave Lord Mingdeng! His prestige is unparalleled, and he must have his own considerations for doing this!

Westhead also has his reasons. Can [Devil's Banquet] laugh and joke with you?
Even if the Shadows of the Gods are not the great enemies that destroy all order and life like Chaos, they are definitely beings that destroy the existing order. They do whatever they want and follow their hearts unconditionally.

The loyal followers of the God Ancestor will never tolerate the "dark side" of Emperor Qianlu wreaking havoc in the country. In the world line of "Poem of Destiny", the royal court is torn apart by the ravages of demons. This country that has been at peace for thousands of years has reignited the flames of war. The war between the royal court and the demons will last for a long time, and this war will only end when both sides completely annihilate each other.

But that is probably unlikely. Even if it can be done, the entire land of Lüyin will become a ruin.

Westhead lowered his eyes slightly, stroking his chin and said:
"But having a need is one thing, and whether the royal court will seek our support is another. So we need a good reputation, a good reputation that can make the Qianlu royal court let down its guard and willingly invite us."

"Next, I will rest in Suyue for a while, and then continue to lead the army to liberate the Chaos-occupied areas. Not only the imperial provinces, but also any place that is deeply mired in chaos, we must help without any reason. Whether it is the Knight Expeditionary Force or the Qinghui Territory, they all need to implement this policy. We are the army of benevolence and righteousness! We are the army of kings!"

"As long as this concept is deeply rooted in people's hearts and spreads widely, the tortured Qianlu Royal Court will definitely try to contact them. If not, that's fine. Look for Yuanxi Palace. She should have connections. Besides, I still owe Luyetan a lot of compensation."

Westhead said as he looked at Rozana, the half-elf maid with a lewd figure and beautiful appearance, and nodded slightly, saying:
"Yuanxi Palace has been waiting for you to fulfill your promise."

Mivana turned her not-so-bright little head and concluded: "This is just cheating."

Westhead immediately stood up and refuted, looking sternly at him:
"What do you mean by lying? I am trying to save the mortals of the royal court from suffering! This is out of complete mercy and justice!"

"Of course, although I don't ask for anything in return, if the people insist on forcing me to stay and make the decision, then there is nothing I can do."

If you must say, Emperor Zhaolie of Han also did it!
