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

Chapter 190 What’s wrong with the world of illusion?
[With one blow from the Divine Emperor, a city was reduced to ashes.]

Then you see another group of people in the Western Paradise. Most of them are cheering for their successful ascension to the Western Paradise: "Your Majesty's grace is not enough! Your Majesty's grace will continue to grow!"

A small number of people looked around blankly, seemingly puzzled by their current situation: "Huh? Did they really go to heaven?"

[“Could it be that the Heavenly Lord didn’t lie to us?”]

They were stunned for a moment, then finally knelt before you in regret, weeping and repenting, "It's all because we didn't understand the Heavenly Venerable's foresight... It turns out the Heavenly Venerable never lied, and the Western Paradise truly exists!"

[“Tianzun! I am guilty. I am not loyal enough. I am sorry for your infinite kindness…”]

[Faced with their words of regret, you didn't blame them. Instead, you compassionately helped them up and gently said, "It's all in the past. None of that matters anymore."]

"From now on, you only need to live and work in peace and contentment in this Western Paradise. You are the hope of the Ming Dynasty. The happier you live, the more prosperous the Ming Dynasty will be, and the happier I will be!"

As soon as these sage-like words came out, everyone was instantly moved. They all cried, danced, and applauded: "What a wonderful Heavenly Venerable!"

【…】

The Divine Emperor looked at you strangely as you were comforting the people of the Western Heaven in the void, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: This kid's condition is getting worse!

[Not only are there hallucinations, but you can even talk to them. It's simply...]

【horrible! 】

The Divine Emperor gritted his teeth and said: "I must act quickly, or else the people of the entire world will be killed by this lunatic!"

[This is punishing the criminals and enforcing justice for the people!]

[As a result, the speed of His iron fist swinging became faster and faster...]

[And in order to facilitate the ascent of the nation to heaven, the government at all levels of the "Great Ming Kingdom" also actively began to "de-ruralize"! ]

[A large number of people were moved from rural areas to cities, which caused the countryside to quickly become deserted and greatly increased the urbanization rate of the Ming Dynasty! ]

[And when the "de-ruralization" was completed, the Divine Emperor began "de-urbanization"...]

【Destroy the county with one punch! 】

【"loyalty!"】

【Two punches to destroy the city! 】

【“Yes! Love!”】

【Three punches to destroy the provincial capital! 】

"It's not over yet, it's not over yet!"

【…】

[Shaanxi, Central Plains, Hebei, Liaodong...]

[North, Jiangnan, Western Regions, East China Sea...]

Bones are exposed in the wild, no roosters crow for a thousand miles, only one out of a hundred people survives, the thought of it breaks one's heart!

This was a massacre even more brutal than the one in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign. No one knew how many people had died, but they only knew that the entire population had been completely wiped out.

The only difference from that time was that the last massacre had frightened the people of the world to their core, with everyone shuddering at the mere mention of it... but this time, there was only laughter and joy. No one was afraid or worried, because they believed that the great Celestial Lord would take them all to the Western Paradise, where they could enjoy eternal bliss!

[How could the Lord of Heaven lie? This is all true!]

[Laughing, everyone was reduced to ashes under the iron fist of the God-Emperor...]

[In stark contrast to the sparse population in other places, your "Western Paradise" is becoming increasingly populated!]

[Here, people everywhere live and work in peace and contentment, praising the infinite grace of the Heavenly Venerable every day.]

When they farmed, they had no worries about drought or flooding, locust plagues, or war... The rice and wheat they planted were taller than a person, allowing them to enjoy the coolness beneath the ears of rice... And the grains they harvested were plump, yielding tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of catties per mu! They could produce as much as they wanted! They ate whatever they wanted, ate meat whenever they wanted, and had an endless supply of milk and honey. Everyone's face was filled with joy.

[Everyone will live forever, everyone will have many children and grandchildren, everyone will be able to fly, everyone will be able to pick the stars and the moon...]

"What a perfect world where everyone is a dragon!"

You couldn't help but sigh, patting the child's head again. With a kind smile, you told him to run slower, saying there were no tigers, leopards, jackals, or wolves chasing him here.

[Then the child transformed into your parents: these two elderly people regained their youthful appearance. They blamed you and complained about why you haven't married and had children yet...]

You sigh helplessly: "Dad, Mom, you're both immortal, why are you still so concerned about my marriage like mortals?"

"Besides, I'm already a celestial being. Which girl would be willing to marry me? Wouldn't a girl be as cautious as if she were seeing a deity?"

[“Alright, alright, stop talking. I really don’t want to get married…”]

[Then, your parents transformed into Lu Zhongcheng from your first life. He smiled and invited you, his good brother, to drink the immortal wine from the Western Paradise with him. However, after taking a drink, you complained that the immortal wine was as tasteless as plain water...]

Lu Zhongcheng changed again, becoming Yu Anmin, then Li Laiheng, then Gao Yiming, then Ning Bufan, then Liu Yizhao, then Chen Shuxue, then Zhu Cilang...

All the people in your memories have come to see you. Some are good, some are bad. Some you recognize, some you no longer do... In three lifetimes, you've experienced so much, and you've forgotten so much.

"But no matter good or bad, that's all in the past. Now in the blissful Western Paradise, everything is written off. So you greet them all with a smile and invite them to drink together, and both the host and the guests are having a great time..."

"Brother, you're drunk!" Zhu Zhongcheng smiled and stopped your drink.

“I’m not drunk!”

[You hiccuped and said to him nonchalantly...]

"You're so drunk!"

[The Divine Emperor punches you hard in the face and pulls you back from the feast in the Western Paradise to the Ming Dynasty!]

[You sobered up instantly, and Zhu Zhongcheng in front of you also turned into a Divine Emperor! ]

The Divine Emperor angrily pointed at the bewildered you and scolded, "Dianzi Zhou! Wake up!"

He cursed excitedly, "The Ming Dynasty is almost deserted! You've almost killed everyone, and you're still going crazy!"

[Is Daming almost deserted?]

You looked ahead at the dead city, which had just been smashed into pieces by the Divine Emperor, and finally woke up from your dream: Yes, the Ming Dynasty is almost deserted...

[Of the hundreds of millions of people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, only a few million remain in the southwest. If you send them all to the west, there will be no one left in the Ming Dynasty.]

[But...aren't there a lot of people in the Western Paradise?]

Shaking his head, he thought the Divine Emperor was ridiculous: "Nonsense! Aren't there people everywhere?"

You naturally point to that densely populated and peaceful world, showing the Divine Emperor your Western Paradise!

The Divine Emperor glanced in the direction you pointed: "There's no one there, only the gray smoke from collapsed houses..."

"You're hopeless!"

The Divine Emperor cursed fiercely, then glowed with golden light, standing firmly before you.

[“Evil villain! Demon from outside the realm!”]

He righteously challenges you: "Come! Fight!"
