I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

After the Japanese national destiny dragon was pinned down by the Celestial Empire's national destiny golden dragon, it immediately began to struggle violently.

However, as the golden light bloomed and quickly spread to cover it, the runes of rules appeared and instantly turned into a cage of rules, binding it tightly.

Immediately afterwards, the golden dragon of the Celestial Empire roared, endless golden light gathered, and the dragon claws pressed down fiercely.

"Kaka!"

In an instant, the body of the Japanese national destiny dragon made a series of cracking sounds as if it could not bear the heavy weight, and cracks emitting golden light spread across its body.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese national destiny dragon suddenly exploded and turned into endless golden fragments.

The core is a dragon ball, and you can faintly see a seal inside.

After the body exploded, the seal began to vibrate slightly, and the dragon ball instantly burst into golden light, bursting out with a terrifying suction force, and the countless golden fragments began to be drawn by it and quickly gathered towards the center.

But at this moment, the golden dragon of the Celestial Empire's destiny, which was manifested by the imperial edict, suddenly opened its mouth and sucked hard.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying suction force erupted, and the golden fragments that were originally gathering towards the dragon ball instantly changed direction and fell into his mouth.

Even the most core dragon ball was shaken violently and flew towards the dragon's mouth, and was finally swallowed by it.

Endless dragon energy flowed, eroding and assimilating it in an instant; endless rules flowed back and were imprinted, and were seized by the dynasty.

After all the fragments of the golden dragon of national destiny exploded and the dragon ball was swallowed, Japan's national destiny instantly dimmed.

The rules of national destiny began to shake violently, causing many other rules to vibrate as well. Japan was hit by a violent earthquake in an instant. Cities and houses collapsed everywhere, and the ground even cracked.

Under the influence of the country's destiny and the energy of heaven and earth, Mount Fuji, which was still full of cherry blossoms, was also shaking violently.

"boom!"

Finally, accompanied by a loud bang, a red column of magma fire suddenly erupted into the sky, and then turned into a rain of fire that spread in all directions. Countless buildings and fields were destroyed, and countless people died.

Thanks to this, Japan's national fortunes further declined and have become extremely bleak.

As the golden dragon of national destiny was swallowed up and the national fortune declined, the Edo Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu and many other daimyo all spat out blood, their bodies instantly wilted, and their life breath declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, they all collapsed on their seats half-dead, their hair turned completely gray, and they looked like they were about to die, breathing more out than in.

Especially Emperor Hou Yangcheng, whose power aura, which was already close to the realm of supernatural powers, fell to the bottom in an instant, his life breath dissipated, and he was deader than dead.

As the rulers of a country, they are connected to the Golden Dragon of National Destiny. While being blessed by the power of the Golden Dragon, their lives will also become connected.

With their deaths, the Golden Dragon of National Destiny suffered a severe blow. If a successor cannot be selected as soon as possible, the Golden Dragon of National Destiny will be taken over again.

Then the golden dragon of national destiny will collapse and dissipate, and scatter among capable people within the territory. Under the influence of national destiny, they will push the general trend, reunite all parties, and elect a new leader.

And if the golden dragon of national destiny collapses, the ruler of a country will be instantly severely injured and die on the spot.

Originally, Tokugawa Iemitsu and others were also going to die.

However, in the end, they all merged their own dragons of luck into the body of Japan's national dragon of luck.

Naturally, the bulk of the backlash from this force fell on Emperor Go-Yōzei.

Therefore, Emperor Go-Yojo died instantly, but Tokugawa Iemitsu and others were only seriously injured and did not die on the spot.

On the other side, the Celestial Empire's golden dragon, whose power had become even stronger, suddenly flew towards Li Shu and the others, casting a brilliant golden light that turned into dragon-shaped marks between their brows.

Li Shu touched his forehead, thinking about something.

It turns out that one does not have to destroy a country to receive the blessing of the dragon, but one only needs to devour the country's divine beast, or dragon energy, to obtain the feedback of the country's golden dragon.

For a moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Xianzhong beside him gradually became strange.

He still remembered that there was an imperial edict inside the Jiaolong.

As General Zhenhai, commander and captain of the Jiaolong fleet, he can mobilize some of the forces.

如果

Noticing Li Shu's eyes, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but frown slightly, always feeling that Li Shu was thinking about something bad.

"hehe."

Li Shu smiled gently, retracted his gaze, and looked towards the direction of Japan again.

This is not the time to think about these things yet.

After the dragon's blessing, the Celestial Empire's golden dragon roared, and after circling, it swooped down towards the imperial edict. During this process, its body shrank rapidly and finally sank into the imperial edict.

The next moment, the imperial edict soared in speed and quickly reached the sky above Edo. A vast gray-black fog rolled and spread, instantly submerging the sky and the earth.

The destiny of Japan was shaken again. While trying its best to resist the gray-black fog, it once again condensed and evolved the dragon energy, manifesting the golden dragon of national destiny.

After receiving feedback from the Dragon of Fortune, the power and aura of Tokugawa Iemitsu and his men quickly stabilized and even recovered a bit.

You only need to rest for three to five months to recover most of your strength, but the lost life essence is not so easy to recover.

However, the golden dragons of national destiny that gathered in Kyoto had become listless, moving around mechanically and dully.

Because Emperor Goyozei had died, but no new emperor had been elected.

If the golden dragon of national destiny is without a master, it will naturally become mechanical and dull, and will only act according to instinct.

If there is no new emperor to succeed to the throne for a long time, then this golden dragon of national destiny will collapse, and be pulled by other dragons of destiny, turning into endless dragon energy and merging into them.

And the golden dragon of national destiny that evolved this time, as well as other dragons of destiny, no longer fought against the gray-black fog, nor did they stop the expansion of the gray-black fog.

Instead, it hovered fearfully over Edo, Kyoto, and the castles of various daimyo, barely providing protection for these places.

This time, it finally did not provoke the backlash of the imperial edict.

About a day later, the entire territory of Japan was shrouded in gray-black fog, blocking out the prying eyes of the outside world. Endless demons and monsters bred and wreaked havoc in it, killing thousands or even tens of thousands of people from time to time.

After another half a day, the gray-black fog gradually faded away.

"Ang~!"

Accompanied by the roars of dragons, the Great Western Kingdom in the west, the Great Shun Kingdom in the northwest, and the Joseon Dynasty all had golden dragons of national destiny appear and look towards the direction of Japan.

Due to the collapse of the Golden Dragon of National Destiny and the rapid decline of national fortune, the gray-black fog faded, and they were finally able to peek into the scene through the perspective of the Golden Dragon of National Destiny.

At the same time, they also mobilized the dragon energy of national destiny, and projected the scene that the golden dragon of national destiny saw in the palaces of various countries.

Li Shu glanced at the soldiers behind him, seeing the curious yet helpless expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but laugh and give orders.

"All soldiers, listen to my orders and deploy your troops!"

"Yes!"

The order spread to the four warships, and the soldiers responded loudly.

"Boom boom boom"

In an instant, there were bursts of power and momentum, with military spirit as the medium, interweaving and connecting with each other. A military formation with Li Shu as the core quickly evolved and formed.

A green dragon quickly appeared, winding and shedding a green divine light, covering all the soldiers, including the steel warships.

Afterwards, the blue dragon looked towards Japan.

Moreover, all the scenes he saw were reflected in the minds of Li Shu and others.

The entire territory of Japan is shrouded in a thin layer of gray-black eerie aura.

Although the gray-black strange air is now less corrosive than before, it does not affect the sunlight.

However, it still has a great impact on people, breeding negative emotions and making them irritable and violent.

Countless demons and monsters roamed the mountains and cities, and people died from time to time.

Even after human death, they cannot rest in peace. If not dealt with immediately, they will turn into nearly immortal ghosts.

Unless it can be killed along with all those who know of its existence, it can be completely destroyed.

In just one day, more than 20% of the entire Japanese population had died.

By the time everything stabilizes again and reaches a new balance, I'm afraid at least 20% to 30% of the people will have died.

That is to say, out of a population of more than 20 million, at least half would die, amounting to tens of millions.

Japan has become a veritable death place and evil place, like a devil's land.

Moreover, most of them are irritable, violent and bloodthirsty.

Only in Kyoto, Edo, and the cities where the daimyo were located, were people's emotions relatively stable.

However, it is also constantly being eroded by the gray and black strange energy.

If one day, the dragon energy of a country's destiny is damaged, it will immediately be eroded by the gray-black strange energy, turning these cities into the cradle of the birth of demons and monsters.

Looking at the tragic situation in Japan, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Who said that the emperor of the Celestial Empire is weak because of his kindness?

To their surprise, there is nothing more cruel than this.

Just one imperial decree almost destroyed Japan, and the number of people who died as a result was expected to reach tens of millions.

Not to mention Wang Dahu, who was feared by the Western Regions and was called the Blood Tiger, even if all the generals of the Celestial Empire were added together, the number of people killed by the Dynasty this time would probably not be half.

In an instant, all those who could see these things became silent, and the palaces of various countries became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Tokugawa Iemitsu and other daimyo were regretting their actions so much at this time.

You tell me, why did they provoke the Emperor of Celestial Empire?

Isn't it just submission and paying tribute?

It's not a big deal.

To be honest, which country around the Celestial Empire has not been a vassal state of the Shenzhou nation?

Isn't it normal to be a vassal and pay tribute?

This time, the country was almost destroyed and the clan was almost wiped out.

Even now, it's not much better.

In the end, they don’t know what Japan will become.

After a long while, everyone gradually came to their senses.

At this time, everyone had only one thought, that is, they must not offend the Celestial Empire and must not offend the Emperor of the Celestial Empire.

The emperors of various countries who could see this place hurriedly began to withdraw their gazes, for fear of causing displeasure to the dynasty and bringing the same disaster to their countries.

The population of their entire country is not enough to handle such an attack, and that would truly mean the destruction of the country and the extinction of the entire clan.

They immediately issued orders to prepare tributes such as jewelry, gold and silver, and they were going to the Celestial Empire to offer tributes.

It would be best if the emperor of the Celestial Empire could recognize their throne and confer a title on them.

Seeing that the matter was over, Li Shu, who was also extremely shocked, withdrew his troops. After taking another deep look at Japan, he commanded the warships to turn around and return.

All that was left was the devastated Japanese territory, where demons and monsters were rampant.

When passing by Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Kingdom again, Li Shu finally couldn't help but looked at Zhang Xianzhong with burning eyes and said with a smile:

"Captain Zhang, I have an imperial decree here. I want to devour some of the golden dragons of national destiny to replenish my strength. Is that possible?"

Looking at Li Shu's smiling face, Zhang Xianzhong felt cold all over.

He swallowed some golden dragons of national destiny. His life was connected with the golden dragons of national destiny. Li Shu wanted him to die.
