Chapter 403: In Troubled Times, No One Can Help Themselves
Late at night.
The moonlight is sparse.
Dou Changsheng looked at the night sky and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Too many things happened today, and there are too many things to deal with.
This short day actually gave Dou Changsheng a feeling that several years had passed.
Now things only seem to be handled, but in fact, what will happen in the future is still unknown?
Dou Changsheng slowly sat on the stone steps. At this moment, Dou Changsheng was also hesitant. Although the various choices made during the day were correct, he still felt uncomfortable.
Dou Changsheng also knew clearly that this situation occurred because he had a lot of ideas about becoming a contemporary immortal.
Even if he had never taken that step, he could take the initiative to participate in the world's situation and continue to maintain the court, which had already demonstrated his inclination.
Especially this time, seeing Emperor Taizong, the power of the destiny of one day.
Dou Changsheng could no longer deceive himself. He was already excited about becoming a contemporary immortal.
This is the fastest route to the top. Although there are many hidden dangers in becoming a contemporary immortal, the combat power is unparalleled and enough to reach the top, which is the most important for the next situation.
If you become an immortal step by step, this road seems stable, but you have lost the opportunity.
Like Qingxuan and the Eighth Generation, even if they have achieved enlightenment, what's the matter?
It is absolutely impossible to ascend to heaven in one step and go directly to the extreme allowed by the world.
In Dou Changsheng's view, ordinary people who have achieved enlightenment are only half-immortals, and the Eighth Generation are scattered immortals. This realm is naturally higher than half-immortals, but there is still a gap with true immortals.
Of course, they have great potential and can catch up quickly, but this is not a decade, a hundred years, at least hundreds of years, or even a thousand years.
In normal times, let alone hundreds of years, even one or two thousand years is nothing. For immortals who live long and see for a long time, this is just a drop in the ocean, a blink of an eye.
But now we are in a world of great contention, the world is about to be promoted, and every second counts.
Qingxuan and Badai are about to miss this opportunity, especially even if they raise their realm to the same level as the current true immortals, they still can't do it, because the strength of the group of immortals is not only that their realm has reached the extreme, but also that they have immortal weapons in their hands.
Two immortal weapons and one heavenly wonder are the standard equipment of the group of immortals, and the powerful ones already have the third immortal weapon.
Each of them is a shady old man, with many hidden means. What you can see is definitely only a part of it, and what is hidden under the water is even more amazing.
Therefore, in the normal way, if you want to compete for the fortune of this world promotion, you are destined to not become the protagonist, and you can only wander in the marginal areas, waiting for the group of immortals to eat a bite of meat and drink a mouthful of cold soup.
Yes, even a mouthful of hot soup is impossible.
Because the group of immortals eat meat, there are also many evil gods and extraterritorial evil gods, among which there are many powerful ones. The strong eat meat and the weaker drink soup.
If Qingxuan and Badai were not strong enough and had amazing potential after the breakthrough, Dou Changsheng thought they would not even be able to drink a mouthful of cold soup.
Therefore, the path of the Immortal King is the best path.
Nowadays, there is no need to escape the catastrophe, because the world promotion is only these 180 years, at most a few hundred years, and it is completely possible to survive. With this great fortune, the hope of breaking the curse of the Immortal King's inability to succeed is also very great.
As long as you become a contemporary immortal, you will ascend to heaven in one step, and your combat power will be unparalleled in the world. For example, the Emperor's Sword and the Imperial Seal, this kind of imperial immortal weapon, will be perfectly used by yourself, if you count the imperial capital.
In terms of immortal weapons, you have a lot.
Think about this time, Emperor Taizong relied on the destiny of one day and rushed directly into the East China Sea. He rushed around, and more than one real dragon attacked, but he was still taught a lesson by Emperor Taizong. In the end, the Emperor's Sword was stained with blood, and Emperor Taizong was unscathed. The invincible strength of the contemporary immortals was undoubtedly demonstrated.
The benefits are obvious, but the risks are also huge.
This is undoubtedly a gamble, and it is a gamble of everything. If it fails, it will die.
If it were an ordinary person, I believe that he would definitely die, and the hope of success would be too slim, because you cannot be sure that there will be opportunities in the future, and there is no guarantee that you can seize the opportunity.
However, Dou Changsheng thought about it carefully and found that all this was not a problem for him.
Because he is not an ordinary person, but a cheater.
With the existence of the system, he can completely cheat.
Ordinary people cannot walk the path of the Immortal King, and they cannot find a way to escape the final catastrophe, but they can solve it with the help of the system.
When he returned to the imperial capital from the east, he took the initiative to control the court, began to monopolize power, and wanted to suppress the world by himself. This is the confidence that the system brought to Dou Changsheng.
Once the idea changed, the sea and sky were suddenly wide open.
Daqian Taizu's alternative enlightenment is not a bad thing, but a great thing.
Because Daqian Taizu's existence is completely an obstacle, now that he has taken the initiative to leave, the position is vacant, and Dou Changsheng can naturally fill it in order.
But Dou Changsheng also knows that this is not a trivial matter, and even the attitude of the group of immortals is crucial.
The martial power of the immortals of the time is unparalleled, and they naturally have the power to control the world. This is a variable for the immortals, and it can interfere with their fight for the greatest fortune.
So it is best if there are no immortals of the time.
When Dou Changsheng thought of this, he suddenly realized the problem.
The world is in chaos and the Great Qian collapses, which will cause the current immortal to disappear. However, when the world is promoted successfully, the world gradually becomes peaceful, and another current immortal appears, which is in the interest of the immortals.
As for the loss of the current world immortal's thug, the combat power will be reduced. Now there are nine-headed dragons, which make up for this gap.
If this scene happened because of the evolution of the situation, it would be considered normal.
If it was pushed by the immortals, this would be very scary.
So now he plans to become a worldly immortal, but the immortals may not allow him to create a competitor for himself, especially if he can see things, can't the immortals see it?
World promotion is a very good opportunity. If it succeeds, there will be one more person to distribute the benefits of China.
The share is only so big, and one more person means that they lose part of the share, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, we need to test the true thoughts of the immortals. The immortals are not monolithic. On the contrary, they are full of contradictions and fights are everywhere.
This is an opportunity to win over some of the immortals. After all, the current Immortal's force is sufficient, and it is worth winning over some of the immortals. However, it is easier said than done.
Dou Changsheng stopped thinking and stopped thinking about these illusory things.
Next, maintain the situation, test the immortals, and participate in the Evil God Conference.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This day is destined to be a sleepless night.
Dou Changsheng couldn't sleep and was sitting on the stone steps thinking. Countless people were doing the same.
Those who are well-informed have already known all the news, which has triggered countless collisions of ideas. Every household is having a heated discussion. Even if it started during the day, it has not ended until late at night, because They have different views and are clashing fiercely.
The younger people were naturally more ambitious and more radical. They believed that Da Qian was finished and there was no need to listen to Da Qian. Not to mention directly killing officials and rebelling, but there was no need to take care of the court, so they started to fight hard. Attack and get back the interests that should belong to them.
The older generation, on the other hand, are more prudent and cautious. They believe that although things have happened, Dagan is still a unified dynasty. Even if it collapses, it will take time.
But if they show up at this moment, they will easily be attacked by the imperial court. Even if the imperial court finally collapses, they will be involved and become victims.
Therefore, we would rather give up some of the benefits than stay put. We cannot bring the family into a dangerous situation just because the benefits are great.
The one making the most noise now is undoubtedly Nandu Liubei.
This post of left-behind is something that only a few people can take on, because there are only five left-behind in the world.
They represent the five capitals respectively. Most of the time, this position was empty and no one held it at all. Until not long ago, because the world was gradually in chaos, the clan was sent to serve as a stay-at-home position.
Nandu Liubei originally belonged to the clan, but because the clan was transferred away not long ago, he was entrusted with an important task and successfully took over the position of Liubei temporarily.
Nandu Liubei knew clearly that he was only temporarily overdoing his duties. When the court decided on the next Liubei, he would be transferred.
I just didn't expect that something big happened today.
Changes occurred in the court, and Emperor Taizu became a different man. This made Nandu Liushou even less interested in staying in Nandu, because he knew that soon, Nandu would be the center of a storm, and many careerists would start fierce fighting around Nandu. .
Nandu Liubei didn't think he could handle it. This was why he was very lucky when he temporarily replaced Nandu Liubei, because the imperial court would definitely transfer him.
But after returning home in the evening, Nan Du stayed behind and received a blow.
The person who beats him is not an outsider, but his own son.
There was a demon in Nandu and plague spread everywhere. Nandu Liubei was busy for several hours, asking for help from the court, and then dispatched strong men, like a fire extinguishing team, to constantly put out the fire in Nandu.
After a lot of work, even if Nandu stayed behind and his cultivation was not weak, he still felt physically and mentally exhausted.
After all, the timing of this demon making trouble was too coincidental, and the arrangement was obviously aimed at the government. This made Nandu Liushou know that there must be an internal problem. Someone had an affair with the demon and leaked information from the government. Keep passing it on.
This person's status was not low, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain so much top-secret information. Nandu Liushou was already on guard, because Nandu was too important, and it was inevitable that someone would cause trouble.
But now if something goes wrong, he will bear the brunt of it, and it will cost him his life.
That's why Nandu was so tired when he stayed behind, because it took too much energy to dig out this mole.
But after returning home, Nandu stayed behind and discovered that the ghost was actually his son.
No, a more accurate statement is that he is the mole.
Because the demons in Nandu were invited by my family.
This made Nandu Liubei furious. He whipped his son with a whip for half the night, but he still didn't stop. Instead of diminishing, the anger in his heart only grew stronger.
Because Nan Du stayed behind and discovered that this was actually his son's intention, and he was not being deceived.
Nandu stayed behind and would rather let his son be deceived. The occurrence of this situation can only show that his son is not smart and is a stupid son.
There is still a bottom line, but it's just been taken advantage of by bad people.
Now that all of this was done by his own son, in the eyes of the Nandu resident, this is a cruel demon.
For personal purposes, he dared to release the plague in Nandu. This kind of cruel means made the Nandu resident shudder in his heart just thinking about it.
Is this still his own son?
So cold-blooded and ruthless.
Even the Nandu resident felt a little uneasy.
Today, he can attack civilians for his own purposes, so he may attack himself for power in the future.
Don't look at him now as docile as a sheep, allowing himself to whip, that is because everything he has depends on himself, and when he is fully grown one day, he will definitely show his fangs to himself.
The Nandu resident took a deep breath, his son was not right.
This whipping was also a confirmation.
While he was angry, he also used this opportunity to check whether he had been replaced.
After a check, he was able to confirm that this was his own son, so he came to a very terrible fact that his son was harmed by someone.
This harm does not mean death, but the mind is affected.
The governor of Nandu believes that he is not a fool. If his son is so cruel, there must be clues. He has been unaware of it for so many years, which has already explained everything.
I don’t know which one of the Demon Sect, or the one above.
At this moment, the governor of Nandu was in a state of confusion. He finally realized the feeling of being helpless in troubled times.
In the past, when reading history books, I felt that those people were stupid enough to take the initiative to meet them, instead of decisively withdrawing and leaving. It was too stupid. Now that it happened to him, the governor of Nandu realized that it was not that they were stupid, but that they did not escape the calculations of those who had ulterior motives.
I temporarily took over the governor of Nandu. This position was too critical. In addition, I have been an official in Nandu for many years. If I really make trouble, it will easily cause chaos.
Success is a good thing, and failure is even better. When there is a chaos, it consumes the vitality of the court. After experiencing a chaos, it also creates opportunities for those who later seize Nandu.
The governor of Nandu put down the whip in his hand and looked at his son in front of him. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
The other party has been finished. His mind is already problematic. He will not recognize his mistakes. It is useless to say anything more.
Moreover, the matter has been done. If the court investigates it, it will not think that he is innocent. Instead, it will think that he is cold-blooded and ruthless. In order to get rid of the crime, he threw his own son to take the blame.
The wicked son is wrong, but those accomplices should be killed one by one.
With the strength of this wicked son, how could he do so many things? There must be someone helping him secretly.
"Master."
"A guest came to visit and said that the matter of the eldest son has been known by the garrison."
