Elevator Dimension Line

Zhu Juan, gently pulled by Tantai Ye, watched as she 'passed through walls and over obstacles' past buildings, trees, and rocks... finally stopping in an open space.

After a while, Zhu Juan recovered from the blurry and unreal vision before she could see the scene before her clearly.

A makeshift training ground was surrounded by curtains and cloth. In the middle of the training ground stood a luxurious tent, and around the tent were fully armed samurai. Inside the tent were Emperor Go-Mizunoo and a group of guards.

They've found the right person.

At this moment, Hou Shuiwei was sitting on a stool in the tent, holding a horn bow in one hand and hooking the bowstring with the other, seemingly testing the strength of the bowstring.

At that moment, after a ripple in the air in front of him, four figures appeared out of thin air.

Startled, Mizuo stood up from the stool, knocking it over. Several maids around him stared in disbelief at this incredible scene.

Several guards standing in the corner of the tent immediately drew their samurai swords and surrounded them.

At the same time, a guard also blew a bamboo flute, the sharp sound echoing across the parade ground. Amidst a flurry of footsteps, a large group of fully armed warriors surrounded the tent.

"Your Majesty, do you not remember us?" Tantai Ye stood at the front and said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about the samurai who surrounded him.

Compared to Hoshimi Miyabi and Arisa's composure, Zhu Juan was initially bewildered, then filled with fear.

Wasn't he also a member of the royal family?

But at this moment, it seems that's not the case.

Emperor Go-Mizunoo was also shocked as he looked at Tantai Ye and the others. He was astonished by how they appeared out of thin air, right before his eyes, as if it were a myth.

However, when he saw Tantai Ye and Xing Jianya standing next to him, his shocked expression turned into one of fear.

These two people are the same two who appeared in his dream that night!

Gosui still vividly remembers that dream from that night; the other person's appearance is as if it were engraved in his mind.

That's why I came hunting today. I've been thinking about that dream for the past few days, and I'm under too much stress and anxiety, so I wanted to relax.

But unexpectedly, my dream came true here.

“It’s you… No, that’s impossible, it was just a dream of mine… How could you possibly exist?” Mizuo murmured.

“The facts are right in front of you!” Tantai Ye smiled and stretched out her arms.

After his initial shock subsided, Mizuo calmed down somewhat. After all, he was surrounded by his guards, and there was a large army of samurai outside the training ground, so there was nothing to fear.

"Who exactly are you people? Why have you appeared in my dreams one after another? What do you want?" Hou Shuiwei questioned.

"Hou Shuiwei, have you forgotten what Amaterasu said in your dream? Don't you know our identities?" Tantai Ye laughed.

“Amaterasu…you are the guides!” Go-Mizuo recalled the scene in his dream that day and the words of Amaterasu, who seemed to be a goddess.

Tantai Ye smiled and nodded, "You are indeed a guide, but we would rather be royalty, a true royalty, recognized by the gods, and capable, than a puppet like you."

"How dare you! You're being disrespectful to His Majesty..."

A man who looked like the leader of the guards stepped forward from behind Tantai Ye and the others, and with a whoosh, drew his samurai sword from his waist.

However, before he could finish speaking, something blocked his mouth, and he froze in place, maintaining an odd knife-holding posture.

At this moment, not only the captain of the guard, but all the warriors surrounding the tent froze in place, their eyes filled with terror, each one like a statue.

"Zhu Juan, create fog to cover this area," Tantai Ye said softly.

Still in shock, Zhu Juan nodded subconsciously upon hearing this. She knew that what they were doing was tantamount to treason, yet she still chose to obey Tantai Ye's words.

White mist appeared out of nowhere, quickly turning the playground and even a large area around it into a fog-shrouded region.

At this moment, a large number of chaotic footsteps appeared outside the training ground, obviously indicating that the samurai army outside had been alerted and was now rushing over.

Without Tantai Ye's instruction, Arisa, who was standing to the side, raised her hand, and a blue transparent ball of light appeared in her palm. With a flash, it spread out and enveloped the entire playground.

The samurai who rushed up from outside crashed headfirst into the transparent shield and were bounced back.

Zhu Juan stared in surprise at the shield that flashed and then became transparent, wondering what kind of ninjutsu it was.

Hou Shuiwei was equally surprised. These people were clearly beyond his comprehension. His guards and the army outside had no way to deal with them.

I feel like a fish on a chopping board!

"What...what do you want to do?" Hou Shuiwei asked, his voice trembling.

Tantai Ye smiled lightly and stepped forward. At the same time, she raised her hand and waved it, causing several trembling maids around her to faint on the spot.

Raising his hand and patting Hou Shuiwei on the shoulder, Tantai Ye said with a smile, "It's very simple, abdicate and pass the throne to a worthy successor. We will take over the throne, and I can guarantee that I will not harm you. You just need to be a nobleman who enjoys pleasure, and we will help you govern this country better."

"Impossible! My identity is recognized by Amaterasu, and it has been passed down through generations. It is absolutely not something you can easily take away," Go-Mizunoo said angrily.

“Amaterasu approves,” Tantai Ye sneered. “You’ve forgotten your dream. Amaterasu has already abandoned you. As for the so-called generational succession, let’s not talk about that. Even if we go back a few generations, isn’t it all about seizing power?”

"you……"

Hou Shuiwei wanted to say something more, but Tantai Ye silenced him with a single look.

"But if you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Let me tell you properly now, do you really want me to kill you and take your place?" Tantai Ye said coldly.

“Even if you kill me, you won’t gain the support of those generals and daimyo; you’ll only plunge the whole country into war,” said Go-Mizuo.

"Wouldn't that be better? Do you think we're afraid of war? Even if we don't start with you, we can still establish a force and overthrow you. It's just that I'm too lazy to do it step by step."

“You won’t succeed that way either. With Tokugawa Ieyasu’s power around, you won’t be able to grow stronger,” Go-Mizuo struggled.

Tantai Ye curled her lips, "It's just Tokugawa Ieyasu. I wouldn't let him go even if you told me... Alright, give me your final choice: accept or not." Tantai Ye was too lazy to waste any more words.
