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

Chapter 188 Paradise in the West!

In the 133rd year of Chongzhen's reign, you received advice from your "other self," and thus placed all your hopes on the so-called "Western Paradise"...

[This deceptive product that you created is no longer fictional. You begin to truly believe in its existence!]

[All the illusions are no longer important. Under the cruelty and despair of reality, no matter how unbelievable it is, you can only embrace it madly, just to seek a way out!]

[Whether it is real or not is no longer important. What is important is that you believe it is real.]

[So, a paranoid madman began his "saving all living beings"...]

【…】

In the 133rd year of Chongzhen's reign, you, now enlightened, no longer seek to persuade the Divine Emperor with reason, nor do you intend to forcefully inject Him with the divine power that sustains His life.

[In your heart, filled with superstition and fanaticism, you held the shocked God-Emperor in the hands of a tangible giant, and walked down Coal Hill step by step...]

Soon, a bombshell piece of news spread: "The Celestial Lord has reached an agreement with Your Majesty. From now on, you no longer need to rely on slowly aging and dying to accumulate merit for ascending to the Western Paradise. Your Majesty will directly send everyone in the world to the Western Paradise together!"

[As soon as the news came out, the whole world was surprised: His Majesty finally came to his senses!]

"Great! His Majesty is finally sending us to heaven!"

[Countless people who had endured the hardships of life for a long time could not help but burst into tears.]

After all, according to the teachings of the Celestial Lord, there are only two ways to ascend to the Western Paradise: one is to slowly live to old age and die in the human world, and the other is to be directly beaten to death by His Majesty!

The former is suitable for the wealthy. Although they also yearn for the beautiful life in the Western Paradise, they are also happy in the human world. With no worries about food and clothing, they are happy no matter where they are. Rather than ascending to the Western Paradise early, it is better to enjoy the blessings in the human world first...

[The latter is suitable for the poor, because their lives are too hard. Even with the careful governance of the Heavenly Lord, they can only survive. As for happiness... that's completely unheard of!]

Therefore, rather than letting everyone continue to struggle in this exhausting and miserable life, it would be better to take a shortcut and go to heaven to enjoy happiness sooner rather than later!

[It’s just that the former Majesty was reluctant to give everyone so much merit, which led to everyone being disappointed and willing to continue struggling in the sea of ​​suffering, so as to save themselves and ascend to the Western Paradise after death...]

[And now, His Majesty has unexpectedly changed his mind and is no longer so petty, expressing his willingness to use his boundless merit to send everyone to heaven together...]

【This is simply, so spicy! 】

Everyone cheered, weeping as they did so, praising His Majesty's boundless grace and His selfless compassion for all sentient beings!

【"loyalty!"】

[“Your Majesty’s grace is not over yet!”]

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Even if we go to the West, we will still be Ming people! In life, we are Ming people; in death, we are Ming souls. We will always be Ming people!"

[“In this land where the flower of kindness blooms, love and hope are everywhere!”]

[“The warm land beneath your feet…”]

[God Emperor:...]

Crazy! All crazy!

The Red-Haired Monster Emperor trembled with fear: This Ming Dynasty is no longer normal!

[From the most ordinary poor people, to the wealthy, to the officials at all levels in charge of government affairs, and even the Supreme Ruler Tianzun... none of them are normal people!]

What normal people would rush to death, crying and begging His Majesty to beat them all to death and send them to the west?

What normal person would say to themselves, "I'll turn all living beings into memories," or "There will be no more suffering in the Pure Land"?

[Poet of the Quandou tribe!!!]

The more he saw and heard, the more frightened the Divine Emperor became. He even fell into self-doubt: "Could it be that... I am actually the only normal person in the Ming Dynasty?"

【It's very possible! 】

Although I slaughtered people, abused the people, and condoned corruption, I did so out of necessity. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough people to rebel. If no one rebelled, I would starve to death. If I starved to death, heaven and earth would perish, and all living beings would perish together...

[To put it bluntly, I only do bad things for the sake of the people, not out of any real intention... I'm not a villain at all, I'm clearly a decent person! And I'm the kind of decent person who can't be more decent. If I want to be even more decent, I can only write the word "good" on my thigh...]

[Okay! Now let's look back at the so-called Savior of the World across from us!]

[This brat started out by deceiving the world and stealing reputations, stealing the jokes of Buddha, Lord Buddha, and others, and then made up stories, deceiving people about the existence of "Western Paradise". In the end, he almost starved me to death...]

[Now, he's even worse. Every day he's like a lunatic, saying he wants to send everyone to hell!]

[What is this? This is the world-destroying villain!]

[Open your eyes, everyone! I am the righteous one! The one across from me is just an alien demon, a world-destroying evil god, obsessed with slaughtering people and destroying the world. He is the real villain! ! !]

[The Divine Emperor roared in despair, trying to awaken the frenzied people and persuade them to abandon their evil ways and join the good…]

Unfortunately, no one listened to Him. They just cried even louder, "Your Majesty's grace is not over yet!"

[God Emperor:...]

[God Emperor: @#%*%@! 】

【…】

You witnessed all of His actions and couldn't help but mock Him: "Your Majesty, why are you still deceiving yourself? You can't possibly be fooling yourself, can you?"

["Your Majesty, do you really think you are upright?"] [Your mocking words suddenly made the Divine Emperor, who was originally roaring at the people with a righteous look on his face, pause.]

[You deceive yourself, and even deceive yourself...]

The Divine Emperor's expression suddenly changed, filled with panic and unease at having his lies exposed... But then, as if something had occurred to him, he retorted, "You say I'm deceiving myself, but aren't you deceiving yourself too?"

"You've fooled even yourself with that Western Paradise story you made up!"

[He laughs heartily, waiting only to see your expression change...]

[But you didn't feel any anxiety about having your lies exposed, you were just calm as usual.]

"I'm not lying. The Western Paradise really exists."

【Divine Emperor: Joy!】

He rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with a psychopath like you...

[But then you reached out your hand and placed it on His forehead, and a large amount of divine power was infused into Him. In just a moment, the Divine Emperor transformed from the ominous red-haired monster of his later years into a normal middle-aged man!]

【"you?!"】

[The Divine Emperor was in a state of confusion.]

You calmly replied, "I'll give you divine power, and you'll go and help them ascend to heaven. It's that simple..."

The Divine Emperor was shocked: "Are you truly crazy?!"

"I'm not crazy, go quickly...it's too late to go."

You earnestly ask Him for the Tao.

"You lunatic..."

The Divine Emperor trembled with anger, but dared not disobey, so he had no choice but to follow the order...

【…】

In the 133rd year of the Chongzhen reign, the great Divine Emperor had accumulated an inordinate amount of merit in the heavens. Thus, a surge of compassion arose, and he decided to save all living beings, rescuing them from suffering and sending them to the Western Paradise to enjoy eternal bliss.

[Every time He strikes a blow, an area of ​​land is completely flattened, accompanied by countless people dying... and expressing gratitude as He is about to ascend!]

【One punch.】

【"loyalty!"】

[Another punch.]

【“Yes! Love!”】

【One more punch.】

[“Quack! Your Majesty, we all love you!!!”]

[God Emperor:...]

"Crazy! All crazy!"

[In this strange atmosphere, the God-Emperor, who once slaughtered civilians with impunity, actually felt fear...]

[And as He slaughtered (sacrifice) with such shock and fear, a marvelous sight gradually appeared before your eyes.]

[You saw those dead people cheering and celebrating their successful ascension in a beautiful world!]

[Amidst their cheers, they still chanted your name and the God-Emperor's name, expressing their sincerest gratitude to you...]

From then on, they lived free from illness and disaster, no longer lacking food or clothing, and no longer facing the pressures of life, such as natural disasters or man-made calamities. For there, the land was awash with gold and gems, and rivers flowed with milk and honey. There was an endless supply of meat and wine. Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they could have as many children as they wanted and live in houses of any size they wanted. There were no wars or taxes...

“Perfect!”

You can't help but praise it. This is simply a perfect world!

You praised them and waved to them again, "Live well here! This is paradise where everyone lives forever!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Lord, for your great grace!"

【They all thank you with a smile...】

【…】

[Looking at you waving off into the distance, especially that relaxed smile on your face, filled with relief, as if someone were speaking to you from the other side... The Divine Emperor admitted that he was truly scared!]

[This is all an illusion! ]

[An evil god from outside the domain wants to slaughter all living beings and destroy the world. After killing people, he even creates the illusion that they are thanking him...]

[The God Emperor's heart trembles. 】

[The critical moment to protect the people of the world has arrived... This time, I will truly fight for all of them!]
