He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 468 Leg Bones
Just because no one says anything doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

On the contrary, this further proves how deep the obsession in Ma Ningyan and the others' hearts is.

So many people died, but no news leaked out.

This shows that even the civil servants approved of this matter.

Jiang Lin's mood became even heavier. He looked at the huge spine behind Emperor Shun that stretched for hundreds of miles.

A prompt appeared in the field of vision.

[Boundary-breaking quality bones, all attributes +30000, with tearing space effect]

It is exactly the same as what I saw in the world of "A Picturesque World", there is no difference.

The only difference is that this isn't powder, it's real bone.

Its enormity was beyond Jiang Lin's understanding.

How to utilize such a huge amount of material?

Just the first step of "making a fire" is enough to daunt anyone.

Not to mention the majestic aura that was surging outward at all times, which even the Daowu realm could not support for long.

No wonder both the powerful clans and the Daqian court buried this thing deep in the underground palace instead of taking it out and using it.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t do it.

Jiang Lin looked at the similar gates around him again. There were at least dozens of them, large and small.

Obviously, those were the skeletons of other giants collected by the Daqian royal family over the past four hundred years.

The quality of these portals has also reached the level of holy soldiers.

In terms of size and number, they are by no means comparable to the powerful clans.

"No wonder the quality of the court's weapons is seriously insufficient. I'm afraid most of them are used to build these holy weapons portals?" Jiang Lin asked.

Emperor Shun shook his head and said, “This is just one of the reasons. It is also because four hundred years ago, the blacksmith ancestor killed the Lu family, which caused the powerful clan to almost turn against Emperor Taizu.”

"They fear the power of the divine weapons, and they have stated that if they do not want to start a war, all the resources and blacksmiths in the world should belong to them."

"Emperor Taizu did not want the world to fall into war again, so he had to agree. So hundreds of years later, only ordinary skills were left in my Daqian Blacksmith Camp, and it was not easy to forge high-quality weapons."

Emperor Shun's explanation left Jiang Lin silent.

He had anticipated that the powerful clans would use that incident to extort benefits from Ma Ningyan, just like the powerful clans were doing today.

But he didn't expect that the reason why Daqian Blacksmith Camp was in decline was because of the feud between him and the Lu family.

"Without good weapons, the power of the border army's battle formation has also been greatly reduced. Our ancestors have been constantly expanding the army, intending to make up for the gap in weapons with numbers."

"It's a pity that we have been fighting for years and have no time to rest. The national strength can only support so many people at most. It seems like a lot, but in fact it may not even be as many as the three million border troops during the reign of Emperor Taizu."

"You just asked me why the court didn't care about Youhaimen. Besides the fact that we need to rely on them to understand that thing, it's also because compared with the real internal and external troubles, Youhaimen is not worth mentioning at all."

"If these problems cannot be solved, how many people will die every year?"

Emperor Shun's tone was very heavy.

Only the expression and tone remained unchanged.

He was like a bystander, narrating everything coldly.

But Jiang Lin has now begun to understand Emperor Shun. His Majesty the Emperor is not born so ruthless.

But when he sat on the dragon throne, he could no longer have any compassion for the world.

You must distinguish between the priorities, you must know what can be sacrificed, you must be ruthless, and you must do everything you can to achieve the ultimate goal!
The emperor of Daqian has no selfish motives.

This was the case from the time of Ma Ningyan until four hundred years later.

Jiang Lin exhaled a long breath again, and then sighed: "I'm afraid I can't do what you want with my current ability. The quality of this skeleton is too high, and I don't know what kind of strange fire can melt it. Even if it is melted, it will be difficult to make it into a weapon."

"No need to melt." Emperor Shun interrupted.

Jiang Lin was stunned: "No need to melt? Then how to make weapons?"

Emperor Shun said: "The weapons I am talking about are not the traditional swords, spears, sticks and clubs. I wonder if Lord Jiang has ever heard of puppets?"

"puppet?"

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind. Emperor Shun, could it be that he was going to...

Emperor Shun said: "I will gather all the bones and put them back together. You just need to put them together, and I can control myself. With the body of a giant, I will go against the will of heaven!"

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and said subconsciously: "So you want to build a Gundam!"

"Gundam?" Emperor Shun was also stunned, not understanding what it meant.

Jiang Lin didn't have the energy to explain to him. He thought about the giant skeleton that was hundreds of miles tall and was controlled by Emperor Shun.

With every move he makes, he possesses the power to destroy the world.

That scene, that momentum...

Then, Jiang Lin remembered what the ancestor of the Gongsun family said, that what Emperor Shun was going to do would bring endless disasters to Daqian.

Could it be that he thought Emperor Shun could not control this thing, and thus it lost control and destroyed Daqian?

This is not impossible, but very likely!
How can something so powerful be controlled by human power?

Jiang Lin immediately said: "This method is not advisable. Not to mention that I can't do it now, even if I can, such an ultimate weapon is not something we can control." "Nothing is impossible, you just need to find a way to do it." Emperor Shun said.

Jiang Lin suddenly smiled bitterly. It was not that he didn't want to help, but he really couldn't do it.

How to put such a large skeleton together?

"Your Majesty, have you gathered all the remains?" Jiang Lin asked.

The answer is of course no. Lu had a broken finger, Xu Jiandao had an eyeball, and naturally there were other parts lost.

"This matter requires long-term planning, not just ten or eight years." Emperor Shun looked at Jiang Lin and said firmly: "In short, I will be responsible for collecting the bones, and you will be responsible for piecing them together. As long as this weapon is forged, my Daqian will have no worries!"

Jiang Lin was speechless. If there really was such an ultimate weapon, Daqian could indeed be peaceful for thousands of years.

Even above the sky, the owner of that finger can try to touch it.

He had thought that Emperor Shun had great ambitions, but he had not expected them to be so outrageous.

Even from the stories I read in my previous life, no one dared to think about controlling the skeleton of a giant that was hundreds of miles tall.

Emperor Shun's eyes were fixed on him, as if he would not give up until he gave an answer.

After a long while, Jiang Lin said, "I need to understand the characteristics of this skeleton first, so I may need to come here more often."

Emperor Shun seemed to be prepared and threw a golden token over.

"Those who hold this order shall be treated as if I were present in person."

Emperor Shun said, "If you need any other reward, just tell me. As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you, even if I have to give you the entire private treasury."

"No need. If I need resources, I will ask for them myself." Jiang Lin said.

After getting the Sky Scale Armor, he was certain of one thing, that he could obtain resources from the world of [Picturesque World].

I just don’t know whether doing so will have any impact on the long course of history.

But Jiang Lin believed that no matter what he did, he was in line with history.

The so-called thinking is nothing but inevitability.

In this case, resources are no longer a limiting factor and he can go ahead and do it.

"By the way, if I took a piece of bones and hid it four hundred years ago, would the same piece appear four hundred years later?" Jiang Lin thought curiously.

Theoretically, it shouldn't be the case, since it's the same timeline.

However, this kind of thing has not been verified, so it is difficult to prove anything by guessing.

Jiang Lin didn't think any more and put the golden token in his arms.

Looking up at the giant skeleton that was hundreds of miles long again, Jiang Lin felt it was ridiculous.

I originally thought that Dao soldiers would be my limit, but I didn't expect that before I even saw the shadow of Dao soldiers, I had to think about weapons that might be more powerful than Dao soldiers.

It turns out that the locals are better at having fun.

Afterwards, Emperor Shun closed the door where the spine was stored and took Jiang Lin to check other places.

During the hundreds of years of Daqian, many Taoist sects were indeed wiped out.

Some of the bones were taken away by powerful clans.

Another part was collected by the royal family.

There are not only spines here, but also arms, fingers, hearts, intestines, toes, and even teeth and hair.

Each one is so incredibly big that it makes people feel creepy.

After taking Jiang Lin for a tour and looking at everything, Jiang Lin felt a little numb.

Emperor Shun said: "If you find it difficult, you can start with simpler things, such as hair and beard. In addition, you should also know something about the leg bone in the dark sea, so you can make your own judgment."

Jiang Lin was stunned: "Leg bones in the Nether Sea? You mean, the place where the Nether Sea Sect collects spiritual fluid is the leg bones of giants? But the Nether Sea is quite far away from here, how could there be leg bones?"

Emperor Shun said casually, "That leg bone was sent by our ancestor three hundred years ago with great effort, in order to gather the strength of the people of the world, to crack the secret of the skeleton, and try to find a way to use it."

"The first generation leader of Youhai Sect was not the one who actually discovered this secret. He was just sitting back and reaping the benefits."

Jiang Lin didn't know what to say after hearing this. It turned out that Youhaimen was just a tool.

And the millions of people who died were Daqian's experimental subjects.

As for right or wrong, it really doesn’t matter at this moment.

What’s important is that the emperors of Daqian throughout history have always insisted on doing what they believe is right.

It just makes life hard for those innocent people who are unaware of the situation. Even though some of them may have deserved to die, there are definitely innocent people.

For example, the girl I met before did nothing wrong. She just wanted to buy some medicine for her injured father, but she was almost used as a sacrifice.

If she hadn't met Jiang Lin that day, she would probably have been digested by the bloodworms by now.

Thinking about those holes again, Jiang Lin suddenly understood.

No wonder it seemed so strange at the time, it turned out to be the leg bone of a giant. Now it doesn't seem so strange at all.

However, Emperor Shun's attitude really made Jiang Lin feel uncomfortable, so he said, "I need to go back and think about this matter carefully. Bye!"
