Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 171: The Martial Saint Protecting the Nation
"I……"

Faced with Lu Ming's aggressive attitude, Emperor Chongde seemed to feel a surge of anger in his chest. He really wanted to raise his head and shout, "I would rather die than surrender."

As long as he mustered up the courage to shout out this, even if he died on the spot, his evaluation in future history books would at least not be too low.

Although the emperor was incompetent, at least he had courage.

However, Lu Pingzhi, a nobleman, killed the emperor, which completely tore apart the fig leaf of the sacred imperial power. I am afraid he will be labeled a traitor forever.

However, Emperor Chongde resented his own calmness, or rather...cowardice.

Every time the words came to his lips, he stuttered.

"Say!"

"Seal it or not?"

Lu Ming's eyes widened and he spoke viciously.

"I……"

"I... seal..."

His last word was almost as small as a mosquito, but after shouting it, all his bones melted and he lay limply on the ground. All his dignity was taken away with the word.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Lu Ming laughed loudly, the sound almost breaking through the roof of Tianxin Palace, and the whole palace could hear his laughter.

Compared with his high spirits, Emperor Chongde seemed like a lowly and despicable clown.

If he couldn't kill Lu Ming, he would have to live under such a shadow for the rest of his life.

Emperor Chongde looked at the extremely proud Lu Ming, and a trace of resentment could not help but flash across his eyes. However, just as he raised his head, Lu Ming lowered his head, and the two of them happened to look at each other for a moment.

Lu Ming could clearly see the resentment in Emperor Chongde's eyes.

But this time he was a little flustered. He blinked twice and couldn't help lowering his head, looking like a guilty thief.

"Very good, then you shall write the imperial decree now and affix the imperial seal. From this day forward, you shall confer upon me the title of Martial Saint Protector of the Nation, commanding all warriors under heaven."

Lu Ming patted Emperor Chongde's shoulder and couldn't help but smile.

"Lu... Lu Pingzhi, any decree to be issued must first be drafted by the Secretariat. After I approve it, it must be reviewed by the Ministry of Personnel. This is the rule."

Emperor Chongde took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.

The emperor is the master of the world, but he definitely does not have the final say, at least not the current emperor.

"From today on, the three provinces will be abolished, and all power will belong to the emperor."

"Now you can write."

Lu Ming scratched his ears, wondering why this person was so hesitant.

I just want to use the power of the court to satisfy my need for prestige, why are there so many things going on?

The court is busy with trivial matters all day long, which is really boring.

Emperor Chongde was filled with bitterness, and he immediately picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the ground with trembling hands.

"Everyone outside is dead. The emperor is out of pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Are you not smart enough to send them over?"

"Should we let the emperor bite his finger as ink and use his yellow robe as paper?"

Lu Ming laughed loudly and mocked.

After hearing this, he spoke to the eunuch who was kneeling outside.

Seeing this, several eunuchs scrambled down to prepare. However, in just a moment, Emperor Chongde had already picked up a piece of paper, dipped the remaining ink in the inkstone, and began to write.

"I have inherited the legacy of my ancestors and guarded the vast land. Thanks to loyal ministers and capable generals, I have achieved peace and prosperity. Now we have Lu Ming, a man of exceptional talent, a leader in bravery, a man of undeniable loyalty and righteousness, whose power resonates throughout the world..."

"In recognition of his outstanding achievements and virtue, I have bestowed upon him the title of Martial Saint Protector of the Nation to honor his exceptional bravery and to inspire heroes across the world..."

Although he felt extremely disgusted, Emperor Chongde still wrote quickly.

The strokes were a little crooked at first, but soon they became smooth.

I have to say that although Emperor Chongde was a bit useless, his handwriting was still very beautiful.

After finishing writing, he took out the seal and stamped it heavily.

Regardless of whether this imperial edict was legal or not, at least Lu Ming was filled with joy.

"I'll have the best painters in the palace paint my portrait, add my name to it, and spread it throughout the world."

"By the way, my name is Lu Ming. Don't call me Lu Pingzhi all the time."

"It sounds like Lin Pingzhi, but I'm not that miserable."

Lu Ming took the "Imperial Edict" in his hand, blew on the ink that had not yet dried on it, and said very proudly.

Emperor Chongde had no idea what Lu Ming was talking about, nor did he know who Lin Pingzhi was. He just wanted to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

……

"Boom."

Lu Mingren sat at home, but the surging power of [Name] gathered in the void, forming a terrifying force. These powers were absorbed into his body. Except for a small part used to repair his body, most of them had to be stored.

This is just the beginning. When Lu Ming's reputation and portrait spread, he will have to face another wave of even greater energy.

"As expected of the imperial court's power, with the imperial court's authority as a stepping stone, this energy is enough to increase my survivability several times over."

Lu Ming felt the increasingly powerful force, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The most crucial thing is that under the stimulation of these increasingly abundant [Name] powers, his thoughts also seemed to have undergone subtle changes. His thinking consciousness seemed to have evolved into invisible threads, uniting with all living beings in the world.

All living beings are distributed throughout the world and are rooted in the earth.

Vaguely, he seemed to be connected to the entire country and the entire nation.

"This feeling……"

The true energy in Lu Ming's body began to boil, and the divine will he comprehended also underwent some indescribable transformation at this moment.

As a living person, he was named the Martial Saint who protects the country. He enjoyed the blessing of the country's destiny and attracted the hearts and minds of countless people. This seemed to make him become some kind of existence similar to a natural spirit.

No, he is far more powerful than the nature spirit.

With the blessing of the inexhaustible national fortune and the power of all living beings, the strength in Lu Ming's body surged again and again, and the true energy in his body continued to grow.

He felt as if he had transformed from a human into a god.

Even in his mind, the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces of the world are reflected, the direction of the mountains, the layout of the cities, and the trajectory of human life are all reflected in his heart.

As time went by, the map of mountains and rivers became clearer and clearer, and the power he gained became stronger and stronger.

He even felt that even if the crisis of world destruction came, the external threat would be rapidly reduced with this ever-increasing power.

But he was also clearly aware that all this was just an illusion brought about by his growing strength.

Once the world-destroying star descends and all the people in the world die, all the power he possesses now will probably be reduced to its original form.
