On the occasion of collapse

The outlines of the stars can already be seen. Although they cannot be seen clearly due to the setting sun, there is a different kind of beauty in this way.

Vaguely, several stars lined up in a line, as if they were conveying some message.

He looked at those 'stars' indifferently and jumped around like they were having a seizure, and his brows couldn't stop twitching.

There's no need to be so weird, she can see it, thank you.

Looking at this exaggerated handiwork, Fu Ling could not guess that it was her "very reliable" sister who did it.

"Interference, human creation...Honkai Consciousness..." After reading the message conveyed on the 'Star', Fuling was stunned for a moment. Human creations interfered with the operation of Honkai Consciousness. This was something she had absolutely no idea about. Things that come to mind.

And Poria could probably guess the reason for all this.

【Stigmata Project】

After all, she didn't know much about human plans at that time, and most of them only had a general understanding.

She knew about the Fire Plan. After all, it was a plan that had no hope. She also knew the purpose of both the Hengsha Plan and the Ark Plan. However, she did not know much about the Stigma Plan, which had the highest success rate and was given the hope of defeating Honkai. many.

Apart from knowing that it was cruel and aimed at sacrificing most of humanity, all she knew was that the plan was carried out by Kevin.

This is probably all other people know,

The only people who really know the whole story are probably Mei and Mebius, the makers of the plan.

Kevin was probably told at the end.

Therefore, the Stigmata Project was the only possibility she could think of.

And part of this...

Poria thought of Mei's wisdom.

"Prometheus?"

Watching those 'stars' slowly disperse, Fuling closed her eyes.

Trying to erode Honkai consciousness and interfere with its operation is worthy of you, Mei.

Wise men and leaders of pre-human civilization.

You put everything about yourself, everything about others, and everything about humanity on the chessboard of the game with Honkai Impact.

You are a chess player, but you are also a chess piece.

However, in a game with God, this chip is not enough.

If you really want to defeat Honkai, then put more chips on the table and let me retreat.

Otherwise, the world will eventually come to an end.

Destiny is uncertain, especially the fate of a world that changes all the time. Even the God who observes fate cannot confirm what the world will be like in the end.

Not to mention, she's not.

Let me see, Mei, how far you can go.

Can you really give up everything, use the fate of mankind, and even the fate of this world as a bargaining chip, and compete with me and Honkai...

As a god, I look forward to it.

As Poria, I am also expecting you to go further and make me, a god, regress.

Chapter 341 Returning to the Central Plains after three years

Hongwu 31st year (1398).

Many changes occurred in the Ming Dynasty this year. At the end of March, the three princes of Emperor Ming died early, and Emperor Ming was very sad.

In May, Emperor Ming passed the throne to the eldest prince's second son, the emperor's grandson.

Emperor Ming passed away at the end of June, and the world was deeply saddened.

The following year (1399), the new emperor changed the country's name to Jianwen.

After the new emperor came to power, he aggressively cut down the feudal vassals and deposed King Zhou, King Dai, King Qi, and King Min in just four years.He forced King Xiang to burn himself to death.

However, this is a story for later.

There is something even more serious at the moment.

In July of the first year of Jianwen, the fourth prince of the late emperor, King Yan, rebelled.

..........

"Crash!"

"Rebellion! It's really rebellion!" In the palace, the new emperor stood in the study room and angrily smashed the valuable vase to the ground.

The eunuchs and maids serving around him did not dare to make a sound. They even lowered their heads deeply and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear of seeing the new emperor's gaffe and being beheaded.

After a while, the new emperor seemed to have controlled his emotions. He sat down at the desk, picked up the brush and started writing furiously. Even when the ink ran out, he hurriedly polished it by himself.

After a while, Xintei dried the written letter and stuffed it into the envelope.

"Come here, send this letter to the Western Regions quickly and let Song Sheng return to the capital! Let him come back to escort you!" The new emperor tried hard to control his emotions, but the anger caused by fear could not be hidden. .

"Yes, yes." The eunuch who was pointed out by the new emperor did not dare to look up at the new emperor. He hurriedly took the letter and left the study tremblingly.

After the eunuch left, the new emperor took a few deep breaths and sat back at the table.

"Please step back." After a while, the new emperor waved to the eunuchs and maids in the study, indicating that they should step back.

"Yes." After getting permission, they didn't dare to stay here anymore. They were all eager to leave as soon as possible.

The new emperor was left alone in the study at this time. He raised his head and looked at the letter on the desk.

The four princes of the previous dynasty and the current King Yan were the vassal king that he feared the most.

Not only because he has a large number of troops, but also because he is a general with high ability and great reputation.

The new emperor had long planned to be blamed by King Yan when he cut down his vassal, but he did not expect that King Yan would directly rebel.

This made many of his plans go to waste.

The most urgent task is to gather troops to stop King Yan.

He has a fear of King Yan.

When he was very young, he was frightened by the oppressive power of the Fourth Emperor's Uncle. Even now that he has grown up, this has not changed.

"Uncle Four Emperors, I hope you won't force me, otherwise we won't be able to live well." Holding his hands tightly, the new emperor looked at the white jade pendant in his hand.He said with a gloomy expression.

That was a secret that only the emperor could know, not even his father, and he was only informed by the late emperor on the day he succeeded to the throne.

—————————————————————————————— (Abba, Abba, don’t talk, I will just take a walk.)

"Sister, Emperor Ming is dead?" Bai Zhi was sitting on the horse with a bow and arrow in her hand. It seemed that she was preparing to go hunting.

Her expression was a little incredulous. She still couldn't believe it. Emperor Ming really died like this?

The news of Emperor Ming's abdication came not long ago. How long had it been since the new emperor took the throne, but Emperor Ming actually died?

Northern Xinjiang is still some distance away from the Central Plains, so the news is inevitably lagging behind. It took a long time before the news reached here.

"Well, not only that, King Yan also rebelled a month ago." Looking at the letter in his hand, Fuling said calmly, as if he was just explaining something as trivial as what to eat tomorrow.

"Prince Yan? That fourth prince?" Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment when she heard the unfamiliar name, and then realized who Poria was talking about.

"Well, that's him." Poria nodded and answered Bai Zhi's question.Indicating that she was not mistaken.

"Rebellion? That guy rebelled?" Bai Zhi was a little surprised, but it didn't make Bai Zhi feel incredible.

That guy had quite a bit of ambition, it was obvious.

But she didn't expect that the late emperor would rebel just a year after his death?

"Well, the rebellion seems to have been planned for a long time. This guy also hijacked the troops of his brother Prince Ning. Looking at the situation now, if the situation does not change, he is still likely to succeed." Fuling looked at the hand in her hand. After reading the letter, he handed it to Bai Zhi.

This letter was sent here early this morning. As for why it was sent here.

That was of course the result of Poria making some inquiries after hearing the news.

The result is not bad, at least we know the general situation.

Bai Zhi took the letter handed over by Fuling and read it with a frown.

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and King Yan has rebelled against him. There are really only a few days of peace." Bai Zhi pursed her lips and spoke slowly.

"In this situation, it may not only be the vassal kings. Northern Xinjiang, Western Regions, and Southern Barbarians may all want a share of the pie." After reading the letter, Bai Zhi folded it twice, threw it out, took out her sword, and cut the letter paper. into pieces.

"Sister, let's go back to the Central Plains?" Judging from the letter, it seemed impossible to piece it together. Bai Zhi put the sword into its scabbard and said to Fuling.

"Well, it's time to go back and take a look." Nodding, Poria did not reject Bai Zhi's proposal.

It has been three years since I left the Central Plains. Although life in Northern Xinjiang is good, after all, I like the Central Plains more.

Bai Zhi said so.

The demon slayers Bai Zhi and Poria, who had been away from the Central Plains for three years, finally returned to the Central Plains because of King Yan's rebellion.

Returning to the Central Plains this time will inevitably attract the attention of many forces.

Like the new emperor, like the king of Yan.

The new emperor wanted her help to suppress King Yan and stabilize his throne.

King Yan also wanted her to help him rebel, but he was not as anxious as the new emperor.

As long as Bai Zhi doesn't side with the new emperor, he doesn't necessarily need Bai Zhi to side with him.

Rebellion is taboo at any time. If it succeeds, it will be fine. If it fails, it will be infamy for eternity.

But no matter what, the return of Bai Zhi will definitely become a focus.

The center of attention.

A powerful demon slayer, he was qualified to become a Qui demon slayer 20 years ago.But he gave up the opportunity to become the chief demon slayer because he didn't want to kill the great demon and become the chief.

You know, no one of the existing Qui Demon Slayers has actually killed the great demon.

The last Kui Demon Slayer who had killed a great demon had passed away as early as the eighth year of Hongwu.

And 20 years ago, Bai Zhi was able to become a demon slayer of Kui. Now that another 20 years have passed, how terrifying will Bai Zhi's strength be?

The power of Bai Zhi cannot be underestimated, it is enough to change the situation of the battle.

Chapter 342 Never trust human nature

In the years of war and chaos, the people suffered the most.

This has been the case since ancient times.

Walking on what was supposed to be the busiest street in the city, Bai Zhi looked at the closed stores on both sides and frowned tightly.

This is the border city of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the small town where Angelica dahurica and Poria cocos have been stationed for nearly three months.

Because it is a small city, Bai Zhi is quite familiar with it. At least she still knows the situation in this city.

As a border city, it is not barren. On the contrary, it is relatively wealthy due to prosperous trade.

There are not many permanent residents here. Most of the time they are businessmen who come from outside for business. The daily flow of people is very large, so it is quite troublesome to get into the city.

Merchants will trade with other caravans here to get what they need. This is the first stop for caravans that leave the Central Plains for trading, and it is also the last stop for caravans that do not leave the Central Plains.

When they first arrived here, Fuling said that the city lord here was very capable.

It would be impossible for the city lord to maintain order in the city despite such a large population flow if the city lord didn't have some skills.

But now, let alone the merchants hawking in the city, there are no people even at the city gate.

The city was silent and everyone was in danger.

Because of the war initiated by King Yan, most of the merchants stopped traveling to do business, and the place became deserted.

Only a few powerful merchants dared to continue doing business, while most small merchants and caravans had stopped doing business.It is also for this reason that prices have begun to rise recently.

From gold and silver jewellery, to famous paintings and names, to herbs and ironware, everything has gone up.

But to say that the biggest increase is that of food.

Old people have all experienced the war that changed dynasties more than 30 years ago, and they all know how important food is in times of war and chaos.

Gold, silver and jewelry are not as valuable as a bag of grain at this time.
