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

On the other hand, after Wang Chao left the palace, he did not return directly to the Celestial Empire, but followed the puppet rules and instantly descended to the Scarecrow Kingdom in Shanxi.

However, there are now more than just scarecrows in this area.

Paper figures, wooden puppets, cloth puppets, mechanical puppets, etc. can all be seen here.

This area at this time should be said to be a puppet state.

At the beginning, after Wang Chao left the world of the late Ming Dynasty, Lu Jun, after understanding the general situation of this world, began to continuously guide other puppet creators to come.

After such a long time, all puppet creators have come to this world with their minds.

Some of them left this small puppet kingdom and went to various parts of the world. While conquering other strange puppets, they also took the time to tour and experience the rivers of heaven and earth to see how this world was different from the world of the Celestial Empire.

Similarly, some people stayed in the Puppet Kingdom.

After all, once they leave the Puppet Kingdom, they can only move around with their strange, puppet bodies.

Most of the remaining people are not used to this.

Some others, on the other hand, were there to cooperate with Lu Jun and manage the puppet kingdom.

When the dynasty descended upon the puppet kingdom, Lu Jun, Meng Fanzhong and others were discussing how to kill Zhang Xianzhong.

They felt that it would be better to kill such a inhuman, bloodthirsty and murderous person as soon as possible.

Just as Lu Jun opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the space in front of him.

Unable to help, Lu Jun's expression changed slightly, he stood up suddenly and shouted in a deep voice:

"careful!"

At this time, Meng Fanzhong and others also noticed the abnormality in the space.

In this puppet kingdom, the power of puppet rules has been greatly enhanced.

Under the amplification of puppet rules, they, as the pioneers and evolvers of the way of puppetry, were naturally blessed by the power of puppet rules.

Therefore, although they have not yet come into contact with the rules of time and space, they have no problem sensing the changes in space.

Therefore, the moment they noticed the fluctuations in space, everyone became alert and immediately communicated the puppet rules.

In an instant, everyone drew down the power of puppet rules, covering the surrounding area of dozens of meters.

This makes the power of the puppet rules in this area more intense and powerful, and even the space begins to be eroded by the puppet rules.

Gradually, a spatial domain belonging to puppet rules began to slowly evolve and form.

In this area, only the rules of puppets are supreme. All other forces must be suppressed or even eroded by the rules of puppets, and eventually turned into puppets.

As soon as someone arrives, he will be eroded by the puppet rules and then turned into a puppet.

And the next moment, a figure quietly emerged.

However, when everyone saw the figure's face clearly, they instantly fell silent and hurriedly dispersed their strength.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"."

For a moment, everyone saluted Wang Chao awkwardly.

Wang Chao, who had just appeared, felt the strong power of rules and the abnormal spatial fluctuations around him. Looking at the uneasy look on everyone's faces, he had no idea what was going on.

However, he didn't care.

In this strange world, it is just a consciousness that has descended, so it is always better to be cautious.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the power of rules that was drawn by everyone was instantly swallowed and integrated by Wang Chao, filling his body with strength.

In an instant, Wang Chao's originally somewhat illusory figure became extremely solid, just like a real person.

Walking slowly to the main seat and sitting down, Wang Chao couldn't help but said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work these days!"

Seeing that Wang Chao avoided what happened just now, everyone tacitly stopped mentioning it.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is what we should do as subjects."

"Yes, not to mention, we can also get great benefits in this world."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have almost reached the peak of heavenly beings now.

For example, Master Lu, the puppet marquis, may break through to the immortal realm at any time."

Wang Chao smiled at everyone and said solemnly.

"Haha, let's put it this way. You are all following my orders after all. How can I remain indifferent?"

Afterwards, Wang Chao had a thought, and in the direction of the capital of the Celestial Empire, the golden dragon of national destiny suddenly let out a dragon roar.

"Ang~!"

A wisp of dragon energy as thick as a thumb instantly flew out of the sea of dragon energy clouds, and then transformed into dozens of golden dragons several feet long, flying in all directions.

The next moment, a golden dragon of national destiny rushed towards the place where Lu Jun, Meng Fanzhong and others were.

After circling once, it instantly merged into their bodies and transformed into a golden mysterious light, cleansing their bodies and souls.

At this time, they all felt that their own realm was stirring, as if they were about to break through their current realm.

However, they also knew that this was not the time to break through, so they couldn't help but temporarily suppress the desire to break through. They all composed themselves and bowed to Wang Chao to express their gratitude.

"We thank the emperor for his grace!"

"You deserve this!"

Wang Chao waved his hand and continued:

"Well, this is just my personal reward. After this incident is over, the merits you have earned will be enough to upgrade your titles by one level.

It can even improve more.”

"Yes, we will do our best and will never let your Majesty down!"

Then Wang Chao asked everyone.

"What's the situation here now?"

After hearing Wang Chao's question, Lu Jun immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, over the years, I have brought in a total of 32 colleagues, 18 of whom have already left and traveled around the world to capture strange puppets.

There are still fourteen colleagues left here.

Now there are twelve thousand scarecrows, three thousand animated paper-cut figures, one thousand puppets, fifteen hundred cloth puppets, one thousand mechanical puppets, and two hundred shadow puppets.

After listening to Lu Jun's statement, Wang Chao asked some other questions and then gave orders.

"Afterwards, I will introduce the power of national destiny into this world, and then send people down to guide the Emperor Ming, recover the mountains and rivers, and quell the civil unrest.

You guys wait for an opportunity to help out.”

"Ah~?"

Hearing Wang Chao's order, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After all, they thought that even if they really wanted to help, they should help the rebels.

However, since Wang Chao said so, although they didn't quite understand, they still obeyed the order solemnly.

"Yes! I obey the order!"

"Well, now that things have been explained, I will go back."

Wang Chao nodded, and his body instantly turned into countless points of light and dissipated.

Looking at the place where the dynasty disappeared, Meng Fanzhong looked at Lu Jun with some confusion.

"Lord Lu, why do you think His Majesty chose Ming?"

“I can probably understand why.”

At this time, Lu Jun had gradually reacted and said thoughtfully.

"Oh, what's the reason?"

Meng Fanzhong and others looked at Lu Jun curiously.

"If we are ordinary people and want to intervene in the development of this world, the best choice is Li Zicheng."

"That's right!"

"really!"

Everyone couldn't help but nod upon hearing this.

“It’s just that we are not ordinary people, right?

The Celestial Empire is not an ordinary country.

If Your Majesty can really bring the country's destiny into this world, the best choice is not the one with the best development, but the one with the largest territory and the largest population.

In this way, we can gather the most national destiny in the shortest time, and use the power of national destiny and military formations to suppress rebellion and conquer all directions.

Although Li Zicheng's development was in full swing, he had just gained a foothold and his sphere of influence was limited to Shaanxi.

Although the Ming Dynasty today is riddled with problems, it is still the country with the largest territory and the largest population, especially in the Jiangnan region, where it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In this way, it is clear how to choose.

As for other forces.

Needless to say, the emperor would naturally not choose Zhang Xianzhong, given his bloodthirsty and murderous character.

Apart from this, there is only the Later Jin and Qing dynasties outside the Great Wall.

And no matter what, His Majesty will not choose to allow foreigners to rule the Central Plains."

"I see!"

After listening to Lu Jun's explanation, everyone couldn't help but look enlightened.

"Okay, let's get ready.

As for those colleagues who have left, they should also be notified as soon as possible.

When the emperor brings down the power of national destiny and the people he sends, we can assist him and quickly suppress the chaos in this world, giving the people of this world a chance to breathe.

When everything is ready, we can take the opportunity to break through our current realm."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Thinking that they would soon be able to break through, they immediately bowed solemnly to Lu Jun, then quickly retreated and prepared to leave.

In fact, in addition to the reasons mentioned by Lu Jun, the method of descent envisioned by the dynasty requires the same person from both worlds in order to avoid rejection to the greatest extent.

As for Li Zicheng, he had already fled to America to establish a country. With nearby options available, the dynasty naturally would not spend the effort to bring him back.

After his mind returned to the Celestial Empire, Wang Chao ordered the summons of Zhu Cilang.

When the oral order reached Zhu Cilang's residence, Zhu Cilang and his wife and children could not help but stand there in a daze, with an ugly look on their faces.

He was very clear about his identity: the crown prince of the former Ming Dynasty.

At the very beginning, many people contacted him secretly.

However, he rejected them all.

Later, as the Celestial Empire grew in strength, it seemed that the old guard from the previous dynasty had given up the idea of restoring their country.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people contacted him secretly.

Up to now, only Master Sun, Sun Chuanting, and Master Lu, Lu Xiangsheng, still meet with him from time to time.

However, the interactions between the two sides are all aboveboard.

It is even said that Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were his teachers.

Well, they taught at the school he attended.

Now Zhu Cilang also teaches in the same school, so the relationship between the three of them is quite close.

If this happened in an ordinary court, these three people would have been beheaded eight hundred times for their behavior.

And over the years, the imperial court has ignored them.

Gradually, Zhu Cilang put his worries aside and even got married and had children.

Now, he is in his fifties and has five sons, three daughters, thirteen grandsons, ten granddaughters, six grandchildren and three granddaughters.

It can be said that Zhu Cilang now has many children and grandchildren, a real big family.

If he were an ordinary person, he would be almost sixty years old and would basically be staying at home, playing with his grandchildren and enjoying the happiness of family.

However, the situation in the Celestial Empire was different. Although he was the crown prince of the previous dynasty, the dynasty did not treat him differently, and he also embodied the status of heaven and earth.

Even because of his identity and the spiritual gathering of many people who knew him, he also evolved into a "Crown Prince of the Former Dynasty".

After the evolution of this personality was completed, he was almost scared to death and was worried for several days.

He gradually felt relieved until no one bothered him anymore.

But despite this, he still kept it tightly covered. Not to mention outsiders, even he himself deliberately forgot about it and threw it directly into the bottom corner of his consciousness space to gather dust.

With the status of heaven and earth, even though Zhu Cilang is not the type of person who practices asceticism, after forty or fifty years of practice, he has now reached the realm of supernatural powers.

The realm of supernatural powers will not increase lifespan.

However, keeping a strong body and preventing diseases is the most basic thing.

In addition to the current environment of heaven and earth, even if the realm of supernatural powers does not increase lifespan, it is enough to make Zhu Cilang's lifespan reach about three hundred years.

So, although Zhu Cilang is now over 50 years old, he is still a teenager and very young.

He still has hundreds of years of good life ahead of him, and he doesn't want to die.

However, just as he was enjoying his life and dreaming of breaking through to immortality and even reaching the realm of heaven and immortality, he was suddenly summoned by the emperor of the time.

In an instant, the beautiful dream he had woven for himself was completely shattered.

Well, at least that's what he thought.

"Sir, I wonder why His Majesty summoned me?"

Zhu Cilang took two steps forward and secretly put the roll of banknotes in his hand into the hand of the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict.

Feeling the touch in his hand, the eunuch delivering the imperial edict was slightly stunned, then his face changed and he hurriedly returned it.

"Mr. Zhu, please follow us."

After saying this, he took several steps back.

When a eunuch delivers an imperial edict, all expenses will be reimbursed, and he will also receive a certain amount of merit points and financial rewards.

But at the same time, it also has strict rules that prohibit accepting money from others.

Otherwise, he would face extremely severe punishment, even being expelled from the palace and sent to a labor camp.

So, after he noticed the banknotes Zhu Cilang stuffed into his hand, he became so nervous. Wasn't this harming him?

Nowadays, working in the palace is what everyone in the world yearns for.

The power of the rules of heaven and earth descends all the time. That place is the closest to the way of heaven between heaven and earth, and practicing there can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

Who wouldn't want to stay in a place like this for a long time?

No one who enters the palace wants to leave.
