Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 135 Can you be my good king and minister for the rest of my life?

Chapter 135 Can you be my good king and subject for life?
"Choose A or B?"

Zhou Liang was faced with two options, which made him quite hesitant.

Zhou Liang frowned and thought:

"Both Option A and Option B were compromises made after the complete failure of the God-Slaying Plan. It was precisely because of this fundamental contradiction, the inability to kill the Divine Emperor, that the simulated character developed the idea of ​​compromise."

"And the God-killing failed..."

To be honest, Zhou Liang’s focus was not on the issue of compromise. Instead of thinking about how to slide to his knees in a more attractive manner after the plan failed, he was more concerned about the failure of the God-Slaying Plan itself!
There are two God-killing Plans, one is the "Divine Power Jinyiwei God-killing Plan" and the other is the "Technological Atomic Bomb God-killing Plan".

As the name suggests, the former relies on the Jinyiwei to continuously spin the spinning top to accumulate divine power, thereby artificially creating a peerless strongman who can face the God Emperor head-on; the latter relies on climbing the technology tree until an atomic bomb is created to kill the God Emperor.

To be fair, these two plans are actually not very realistic. They are both outrageous plans that can be successful in theory, but are full of loopholes in practice!

So Zhou Liang had anticipated the failure of the plan, but the information that was inadvertently revealed when the two plans failed was somewhat unexpected...

The first is the issue of the source of divine power. After Zhou Liang's actual measurement, it was found that the source of divine power can only be the people of Ming Dynasty and Korea. Apart from the two, people from all countries and regions including Japan, Annan, the Middle East, and the West cannot generate divine power.

In response, the Divine Emperor gave the reason that "the people of the Ming Dynasty are more noble than others"... No one can clearly explain what specific form the so-called "noble" exists in, and "Zhou Liang's" series of experiments did not reveal the secret.

This is enough to prove that the current plane is not an ordinary historical plane. Compared with the original historical line, it is not just that there is an additional true god named Zhu Youjian, it has other differences!
For example, the missing emperor of Japan.

"Zhou Liang" also asked the God Emperor about this, asking whether the world was originally so strange, or whether it became like this later because of the advent of the true God... But the God Emperor was very secretive about this, and only replied with one sentence: "I don't know."

Does He really not know?

Obviously, that's impossible! He must be hiding it on purpose!

He must know many secrets of this world...

The second issue is technology. Originally, "Zhou Liang" planned to climb the technology tree, but after a trip to the West, he found that the various physical laws of this world are chaotic, and he can't summarize any reliable science at all!
But even though the laws are so chaotic, people living in the world will not be affected by them. Ordinary production and life still follow the original laws. As long as you don’t conduct special experiments, you will not be able to discover any problems in the world.

Furthermore, Xiyang reported two strange things to Zhou Liang. One was that the research results of the crazy scientists had been obliterated by the "Book of History". No one knew what they had been researching before...

One is that except for the West, the Ming Dynasty and its neighboring countries, people in all regions speak Chinese. This is totally unscientific!
What is even more unscientific is that before 1644, no one felt anything was wrong about this, and only after 1644 did people suddenly feel that this was very strange... This kind of belated realization is itself extremely weird!

So, after Zhou Liang summarized all the above information, he came to a conclusion:
"This world is a chaotic one, filled with irrational things everywhere. The basic laws of physics are in chaos, and people's memories are very likely to have been collectively tampered with... But it is precisely this irrational world that appears to be rational to a certain extent, so much so that most people don't even doubt it..."

Zhou Liang frowned:

Of course, this kind of thing cannot exist in the normal world. All the above information and conclusions can only prove one thing.

That is, apart from the God-Emperor, this world still has big problems. Even if he defeats the God-Emperor one day, these problems will probably not disappear, and may even evolve into a more serious situation!
And what role does the God-Emperor play in this world?

Was it because of Him that the world became so chaotic, or was it that the world was originally even more chaotic, and the existence of the Divine Emperor stabilized this chaos, allowing it to present relative stability and order within the chaos...

If it is the former, then the problem is relatively simple. All the contradictions and problems are concentrated on the Divine Emperor alone. As long as He is killed, everything can return to normal!

After all, although it is very difficult to defeat the God-Emperor, as long as the simulation system is in hand, it is not impossible to kill the God-Emperor in the future with the help of the mysterious system.

But if it's the latter... then that's a huge problem! Because the Divine Emperor's stance will directly affect the formulation and testing of future new strategies. If He truly possesses irreplaceable positive value in world stability, then while He will still need to be defeated in the future, the specific means will require careful consideration.

Otherwise, if you overthrow a God Emperor, the end of the world will come, and no one can withstand it...

At this time, Zhou Liang turned his attention back to the two options this time:
Item A is to repeat the mistakes of your previous life. Apart from relieving your own psychological pressure, it actually has no practical effect at all. If you die, you have to start over, and there is a high probability that you will repeat the same mistakes in the next life!

Although option B is a bit frustrating, it is also a good option for exploring the way forward. As the saying goes, all unknown information comes from not living long enough. As long as you can get close to the God-Emperor and seek immortality, you will always get the key information you want to know in the future.

For example, is the Divine Emperor good or bad for the world? For example, what attitude should we adopt towards the Divine Emperor...

So after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Liang made the most beneficial choice for his "other self," even though it might not be pleasant:

"Choose B!"

[Ding! You chose option B. Being the Divine Emperor's dog is the greatest honor! Although all plans to slaughter gods have failed, and you don't believe the Divine Emperor will truly remain a good person forever, at least so far he hasn't revealed his ugly face of wanton murder.

If that's the case, then you might as well agree to live forever with Him, and see for yourself whether He can maintain His image as a "good emperor"... And after all, you're the one He trusts the most. If He ever decides to stop, you can at least advise Him in person, show some kindness, and be a paperhanger...

Moreover, as long as you live long enough, you may accumulate some secret information, which may play an irreplaceable role in your ultimate plan to kill the gods!

【…】

[Bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden! This is your final conclusion.]

Although this path weighs heavily on your heart, as you have always pursued a clear mind, you currently have no better choice.

[Strive to survive. You can try to persuade the Divine Emperor to abandon evil and become a good person, becoming a public servant and paperhanger who benefits the public. You can also take this opportunity to slowly explore the many unknowns of this world and plan for your future...]

So you immediately bowed before the Divine Emperor, pleading under his surprised and amused gaze.

[You: Can you be my good subject and ruler for the rest of your life?]

[Divine Emperor: You really only think about yourself...]

[The Divine Emperor laughed dumbly: I can't believe that Prime Minister Zhou, who has been so righteous his entire life, would actually give in at the critical moment of life and death!]

[However, this is exactly what He wants, so He happily nodded and agreed to your request to collude with you...]

【…】

In the 102nd year of Chongzhen's reign, Prime Minister Zhou, who had been at sea for nearly ten years, finally led his troops back to the Eastern Land of the Ming Dynasty and met the Divine Emperor, whom he had not seen for many years, at the Imperial Palace in the capital.

[The Prime Minister, fearing the imminent danger of his life, surrendered and slid to his knees... The Divine Emperor gladly agreed.]

[That year, you completely surrendered to Him and became His most loyal dog...]
