Creation of the Universe

General Hu Wei rebelled, and the city patrol commander Zhao Ji also rebelled.

Those close ministers who usually claimed to be loyal to King Jinning and were willing to serve him and go through fire and water for him, are now nowhere to be seen.

Either they were blocked at home by Zhao Ji and his men, or they had already switched sides and joined the team to overthrow King Jinning. After all, at this time, only by quickly taking sides can they protect themselves.

The situation outside the palace was now clearly in Shen Zhan's hands. King Jinning only realized the current situation belatedly when General Hu Wei told him the truth.

He still thought that he had an overwhelming advantage, but he didn't know that the sky in Jining had quietly changed.

"Well, all of you want to rebel against me, but you should know that your wives, children, and elders in your mansions are all under my butcher knife. As long as there is any change in the palace, the assassins I secretly arranged will rush into your mansions first and kill your parents, wives, and children without leaving a single piece of armor!

This is what happens when you oppose me!"

Shen Zhan shook his head, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

King Jinning was shocked by his gaze, "You...did you do something good?"

Shen Zhan answered truthfully, "You're too slow. We've already secretly sent everyone's families out of Jinning City. Once the assassins you arranged break into their homes, they'll be killed by the masters waiting there. This way, we can catch them all in one fell swoop and save a lot of trouble."

General Hu Wei nodded. "Thanks to the young master's brilliant plan, honestly, we've reached the limit of our patience. If we weren't worried about our families' safety, we would have rebelled long ago!"

Prince Jinning's face gradually turned pale.

"Damn it! Since you want me to abdicate so badly, who are you planning to support to replace me? Is there anyone who is qualified? Tell me!"

General Hu Wei said without hesitation, "Of course it's the one next to me."

The soldiers looked at Shen Zhan with a bit of respect and admiration, which was very different from their reaction when they looked at King Jinning. Obviously, Shen Zhan had overwhelmed them with his absolute strength from the beginning, and now he made them even more convinced from the bottom of their hearts, and they sincerely hoped to support him to ascend the throne of King Jinning.

At this critical juncture, Shen Zhan did not see the queen, which made him very concerned.

This woman is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion. She should be caught as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. Shen Zhan will not feel at ease if she is out of his sight.

Now, with the full support of General Hu Wei, the soldiers present all raised their arms and shouted, hoping that General Shen Zhan would replace King Jinning. Such calls resounded throughout the palace. King Jinning was like a trapped beast that had lost its claws. Although he was furious, he could do nothing.

"He's not the son of King Jinning, and he hasn't been canonized by the imperial court. How can he sit on the throne?"

At this critical juncture, the person Shen Zhan cared about finally appeared in front of him.

The queen showed up and openly questioned Shen Zhan's qualifications as the heir. King Jinning's expression was a little complicated, but he seemed to have regained some composure than before.

"Don't be fooled by him. In fact, Shen Zhan is not the prince's son at all. His biological mother fell into trouble and came to Jinning. The prince took pity on her and took her in. She was already pregnant at that time. She is now Shen Zhan.

How can someone without any royal bloodline of the Shen family inherit the throne of King Jinning? If the name is not right, then the words will not flow. If you force him to take the throne, the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress him one day. It will only lead to his death."

The queen's words were indeed sharp. After she revealed Shen Zhan's life experience, General Hu Wei and others looked at each other in confusion, some not sure whether what she said was true or false.

Shen Yunli was shocked. She and Shen Zhan were obviously siblings from the same mother, so why was it said that Shen Zhan was not the son of King Jinning? Then they were no longer siblings.

"That's right, Shen Zhan is indeed not the prince's biological son. His biological mother was the daughter of a wealthy family hundreds of years ago. They have worshipped the mythical beast Xuanfeng for generations. Now the Xuanfeng has already recognized its master and followed Shen Zhan. Doesn't this mean that Shen Zhan is the man of destiny, more noble than those with royal blood of the Shen family, and more qualified to lead the entire Jinning!"

The person who said this was the prime minister. He came to the palace under the escort of Meng Zhong, Han Fei and others.

When he brought up the mythical beast Xuanfeng, the queen's words just now seemed less weighty. However, if there was no imperial title bestowed, if someone outside the royal family sat on the throne of King Jinning, it would indeed bring disaster to the war, and this problem was still unavoidable.

King Jinning said proudly, "Shen Zhan, you keep saying you're doing this for the people of Jinning, but now they're facing disaster because of you. Aren't you being hypocritical and two-faced?"

"You misunderstood. Who said I want to be the King of Jinning?"

Shen Zhan then spoke slowly, "From the beginning to the end, I never said that I would be the King of Jinning. In my opinion, no one is more suitable than my sister Shen Yunli!

She is kind-hearted and a legitimate member of the royal family, so everyone is happy!"

When General Hu Wei and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, Shen Yunli will be a Martial God in the future. With her leading Jinning, everyone will have a bright future!"

Seeing that the situation had no chance of improvement, King Jinning and the Queen wanted to escape from the palace while no one was paying attention. However, just as they were about to leave, they were held down by Meng Zhong's two big hands.

"You can't leave. You've done so many bad things over the years. We have to parade you through the streets to let the people vent their anger!"

King Jinning and the Queen had no choice but to surrender.

In the following half month, all the corrupt officials, bandits and bullies in Jining City who had bullied others by taking advantage of their power were wiped out by Shen Zhan and his men. The King of Jinning, who suffered the consequences of his own actions, finally wrote a letter to the world, reflecting on his numerous crimes and expressing his willingness to pass the throne to his daughter Shen Yunli.

Since the succession to the throne was carried out within the Shen royal family, it was in accordance with the rules and etiquette, so the court would not interfere, and the people of Jinning could be spared from war.

The city of Jinning was decorated with lights and was filled with joy. Merchants and travelers coming and going were surprised to find that the people here were even more excited than during the Spring Festival.

They all said that the brother and sister Shen Zhan and Shen Yunli sacrificed their own family for the sake of justice and overthrew the rule of King Jinning. They all lived a good life and the whole of Jinning changed overnight.

On this day, Shen Zhan and Shen Yunli took to the streets, and they were greeted by cheers from the people of the city. After enduring a dark period, Jinning finally saw the light of day and restored its bright future, making people full of hope for the future!
