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

Chapter 144 The red sun rises in the east!

[Known: Divine power can cause foreigners to fall into a state of madness and grant them a "Ming Dynasty Green Card." From then on, they will leave the foreign world and enter the Ming Dynasty, becoming true citizens of the Ming Dynasty and eligible to be whipped like a top!]

[This new information is undoubtedly extremely important, and it is the key to turning defeat into victory for you!]

[With this new information, you can restart your plan to kill gods with divine power: since you can't become bigger and stronger in Ming Dynasty, then go abroad!]

[As long as a group of Jinyiwei develop in foreign countries, they will sooner or later possess enough power to challenge the Divine Emperor...]

[This idea is not bad at all, even you can't help but get excited! ]

[But amidst your excitement, you thought carefully for a moment... and finally shook your head, rejecting this seemingly feasible plan.]

【Why? 】

[There are two reasons. One is that you are not free.]

[Now, as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of all government affairs, no matter where you go or what you do, you are the center of attention... Therefore, there is no way you can send the Jinyiwei abroad to accumulate divine power under the nose of the Divine Emperor. If you do, you will be caught by the Divine Emperor!]

【Secondly, your time is running out...】

You are already over 120 years old. Considering Li Laiheng's lifespan of over 170, you can only live another 50 to 60 years at most. In such a short time, even if you send out the Imperial Guards, there is no way they can accumulate divine power to the level of a Divine Emperor.

[Or rather, given mortal lifespans, it's unlikely for people to accumulate divine power to the point where a Divine Emperor could change the world. Your plan to slay the gods was flawed from the start...]

[Due to these two fatal loopholes, even if you have a plan that leads to victory, you cannot use it.]

[However, just because it doesn't work in this life doesn't mean it won't work in the next... With this crucial information, you'll have enough confidence: start from scratch in the next life, and you'll definitely succeed!]

[Of course, victory in the next life doesn't necessarily mean defeat in this life. The reason for this lies in Li Laiheng's second message...]

[After Li Laiheng died, his supernatural power inexplicably belonged to you! ]

You've never seen this phenomenon before, but that doesn't stop you from speculating: Why did Li Laiheng's divine power come to you?

[Or, what is special about him compared to others? ]

[The answer is obvious: He is your biggest fan! ]

[As the first batch of veteran thieves who followed you to start your business, Lao Li and Yu Anmin are all the same, all of them have been contaminated and brainwashed by your telekinesis.]

[As for the effects of telekinesis pollution, you already know the following: one is that it can brainwash people into absolute loyalty, two is that it can make people resist the madness caused by excessive divine power, and three is that it can make people immune to the refining of the Divine Emperor.]

[Now that the fact that "the power returns to the master after death" has been added, it's not too puzzling...]

However, as the saying goes, all conjectures must be verified through extensive experiments. With only Li Laiheng as a sample, it's obviously not enough to confirm your conjecture, so you'll need to verify it a few more times.

[And once you succeed in verification, you will gain extremely powerful strength, and then change your previous conservative strategy to an active and proactive offensive strategy!]

You look forward to that day...

【…】

In the 168th year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Laiheng, the "Holy Roman Emperor" of the West, passed away. His divine power now rests with you!

[The following year, several more powerful divine powers gradually entered your body... Soon after, you received news that the remaining veteran thieves who remained in the West had passed away.]

After receiving the news, you were both happy and sad: happy that your conjecture had been verified, that the death of the crystal powder would indeed allow their divine power to be transferred to you! But sad that old friends had passed away one after another...

[Under this complex emotion, you sighed silently, and then continued to wait...] [Until one day in the 173rd year of Chongzhen, another divine power was returned to you.]

[Since then, this group of veteran bandits who had come all the way from the time of Li Zicheng's uprising, and had walked through nearly two centuries, have finally all passed away.]

With their passing, a turbulent past era was finally buried beneath the loess... From then on, there would be no more witnesses to the Li Zicheng Uprising. It would become a mere historical term, with future generations only able to glimpse the echoes of that turbulent era through the pages of history...

[Except the Divine Emperor, of course.]

This deus ex machina, who personally broke history to pieces, still lives. His survival is like that of a zombie that refuses to be buried, clinging stubbornly to the old era and refusing to let go.

[And what you have to do is kick Him into the grave, letting this stubborn old zombie completely turn into ashes under the loess...]

[You don’t know if you can succeed in this life, but you are willing to work hard for it! ]

【…】

In the 184th year of the Chongzhen reign, another divine power surged into your body. Although it was much weaker than the power of the bandits, it still caught your attention... After investigation, it turned out that an old Jinyiwei had recently died.

[Although he is not one of your Yuancong, because you brainwashed the out-of-control Jinyiwei on a large scale when you were executing the "Jinyiwei God-Slaying Plan," he has the good fortune to become your crystal fan.]

[He has died of old age, so he must be at least 150 years old!]

[So you sighed, and then sent a sum of money to his family, as a token of your gratitude for his divine power...]

[His passing was like a signal. From that year on, more and more old Jinyiwei died of old age!]

[Though these seeds you planted with your own hands didn't grow into towering trees powerful enough to slay gods as you originally planned, as the saying goes, every sip and every bite has its destiny... Now, they have finally grown into fruit that has pleasantly surprised you!]

[For every crystal powder that dies, a divine power will be transferred to you.]

[One, ten, a hundred, a thousand...]

[These divine powers seem to be their final gift, carrying their life's ideals and achievements, all of which are concentrated in you.]

[Each divine power is the lifeblood of a class fighter. It embodies people's ideals, their struggles, and even more so, their expectations.]

[In the end, everything rests on you, making your heart even heavier...]

[To you, these divine powers are no longer simply divine powers, but rather gazes of expectation: they cannot defeat the God-Emperor, so they can only place their hopes on you!]

[And after carrying all of this, you are no longer just yourself: you are the bearer of everyone's beliefs, the agent of everyone's will, and the entity formed by the intersection and condensation of the light left by thousands and thousands of people after they have burned out!]

You are both human and light...

In this infinite radiance, you are like a brilliant sun, lifted up from the horizon by pairs of invisible hands. Carrying their will, you leap from the horizon and rise higher and higher.

[Until he faced the blazing sun hanging in the sky...]

[There is no two suns in the sky, and no two masters for the people! ]

[You, the sun that has just risen from the east, will inevitably fight with it in the end! ]
