Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

With one of the two Ghost Kings dead and the other having escaped, their fighting spirit was already quite low.

Abbess Miejue displayed her unparalleled divine power, and countless ghosts died under the Heaven-Slaying Sword. She was originally a person who hated evil, and the days of barely surviving made her hold a grudge, so she became even more ruthless.

Many of her disciples were the same. In recent days, they had seen too many people die in front of them. All they wanted to do was kill all the ghosts and avenge these people.

There's no need for Gu Yuchuan to deal with the remaining ghosts. Firstly, they are indeed too weak for him to handle, and secondly, the cultivators below can easily kill them, providing everyone with an outlet for their frustration.

This killing spree lasted for more than three hours. In the end, even some ordinary people who had only practiced rudimentary martial arts joined the battle. Even though they had no real strength, they wanted to avenge their families with their own hands.

Finally, all the ghosts died at their hands. Many people knelt on the ground and began to cry loudly, and many even kowtowed to Gu Yuchuan on their own initiative.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuchuan also felt some compassion. After becoming emperor, he did feel that his state of mind had changed a lot. Before, he only cared about his own cultivation, but now he could also see the people at the bottom of society.

This is actually a very important shift. As a dynasty, the people are a very important thing. If it is separated from the people, can it still be called a dynasty? It would be better to just disband the dynasty and cultivate on its own. Since it has taken the fortune of the dynasty and made the people the foundation for cultivation, then it must protect them.

"Rise, everyone. We have won. One of the two Ghost Kings of the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm is dead. Don't worry, after the Empress and I discuss the matter, we will march into the Ghost Realm."

These words further heightened everyone's spirits, and they all hoped that this day would come soon.

He gave Abbess Miejue a look, and she came to his side.

"Master, handle the aftermath properly. Families affected by the disaster should be compensated well. If someone has lost all their relatives and has no means of labor, let the government support them. The compensation for the dead soldiers should also be adequate, and we should try our best to minimize the aftereffects of the war."

Abbess Miejue has been involved in politics for some time now. Although she can't be called a formidable politician yet, she is at least a qualified one. Even if Gu Yuchuan doesn't ask, she can think of and handle these matters.

"Don't worry, senior. I've done disaster relief before, so there's absolutely nothing going to happen."

Having received a positive answer, Gu Yuchuan was satisfied and didn't say anything more.

"That's good. I'll leave this place to you. I'll go back and discuss the counterattack with the Empress."

Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and Miejue called out to him again: "Senior, Zhiruo is pregnant now, there are some things you can't do."

Gu Yuchuan could tell that the other party was worried about Zhou Zhiruo, fearing that the counterattack would require Zhou Zhiruo's efforts, which might cause problems for her health.

Gu Yuchuan laughed directly: "Master, are you underestimating me a little? I can handle a small world by myself. Why would I need Zhiruo to help? Besides, Zhiruo is carrying my child, so naturally I value her the most. Alright, Master, thank you for your concern. But you just need to take care of your own business."

After saying that, he flew away again. Presumably, Zhou Zhiruo now knows about their great victory.

When he returned to the palace, a feast had already been prepared. Upon seeing him, Zhou Zhiruo smiled brightly.

"My husband has returned victorious and solved this urgent problem for me. I am very happy. Come, let's have a couple of drinks."

Logically speaking, pregnant women shouldn't drink alcohol, but they are all Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If drinking a little alcohol could affect their health, then their physical bodies must be too weak. They are not weak at all.

"Okay, perfect timing. I have something to discuss with you. Let's talk over drinks."

The two sat together, and Gu Yuchuan even held Zhou Zhiruo in his arms. The woman's fragrance made him a little distracted, but he was not such a beast as to think about such things while his wife was pregnant.

"Zhiruo, my idea is to launch a counterattack against the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. What do you think?"

After getting down to business, the lust in their eyes subsided considerably, after all, they were two emperors.

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes also became deep: "The Crimson Flame Ghost Realm, according to my nature, I will definitely not let them go if they invade my world like this, but in my current state, I really can't provide much combat power."

Gu Yuchuan gripped Zhou Zhiruo's hand tightly.

"What are you saying? I'm still here, aren't I? As your husband, how could I abandon you?"

Zhou Zhiruo also gripped his hand tightly, her eyes filled with even more affection.

“Husband, that is their territory after all. Although they do not have the status of a world lord, their strength is definitely much greater on their territory than it is now. I am worried about you going alone.”

Gu Yuchuan smiled and shook his head.

"Zhiruo, you still don't quite understand my strength. Let me be frank. Even in your prime, with the status of a world master, you might not be able to beat me now. I have a superior-grade exotic beast, a top-grade magic weapon, a domain of laws, and earthly fiend divine abilities. Each of them is a method that allows me to fight beyond my level. Against cultivators of the same level, I can crush them."

This was the first time Gu Yuchuan had directly explained his strength, and every word was etched into Zhou Zhiruo's heart. Her husband was actually such a powerful cultivator.

She stopped refusing and readily agreed.

“Since my husband has already made up his mind, I will not hold him back. However, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Going in without knowing anything is always dangerous. Let’s send someone in to investigate first.”

Gu Yuchuan thought about it and agreed, thinking it was better to be on the safe side.

"Zhiruo, after we take over the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm, we'll split the benefits equally. Then, both my blessed land and your Heavenly Realm will be able to advance further."

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were deeply moved: "Husband, you put in so much effort, so logically you should get the lion's share and I should get the smaller share. Even if you don't give me any, I can't say anything."

Gu Yuchuan pulled her into his arms again: "You are my queen, someone whose fate is intertwined with mine. We rise and fall together. I sincerely hope you can become better. Besides, I can't bring myself to take advantage of my wife's family. Just accept it without worry. When the time comes, we'll advance to the Nascent Soul stage together!"
