Full-time Creation Master

"Of the remaining 15 forbidden spells, only 3 immortal beings and 11 emperor demons survived in the years that followed!"

However, in recent years, 21 more forbidden spells have been created by the youth!

Shao Zheng added, "After decades of assimilation, 7 out of 21 forbidden spells have entered the Forbidden Spells Association!"

"You can absolutely trust the people of the Forbidden Spells Association!"

"The Nine Cauldrons, the cauldron of destiny for the human race of the Nine Provinces, examine the participants of the Forbidden Spell Assembly every year!"

"Furthermore, those who participate in each forbidden spell mission must undergo the Nine Provinces Cauldron's interrogation of their conscience once more!"

"This is also why you didn't intervene, despite the severe internal damage to the Dragon Kingdom's power caused by your actions and the massacres you committed!"

"So, the Nine Provinces Cauldrons are a manifestation of the human race's destiny, existing solely for the human race of the Nine Provinces?" Chu Ming asked, this was crucial!

"That's right!"

"Then I'm relieved!" Chu Ming exclaimed. "Truly a treasure of humanity!"

As someone wholeheartedly dedicated to making humanity stronger and more powerful, wouldn't I be deserving of the protection and favor of the Nine Cauldrons?

I am a human... a human... me!

"Three neutral ethnic groups have banned the use of neutrality spells; they only want to protect their own little corner of the world!"

"Eleven forbidden spells were passed down through the traditions of the older generation of ethnic groups!"

"However, most ethnic groups have been assimilated by the Han Chinese in terms of language, diet, and manners, so they generally don't cause trouble!"

"They're now only going to obey orders, not direct commands!"

.........

Chu Ming was shocked by this, but it was still under control!

They're just 28 ethnic minorities with forbidden spell-level combat power!

The archangel, who has been strengthened to the level of a true emperor, can achieve the peak strength of a minor emperor by playing on his own. With his own skill, he can unleash the true emperor strength of his original form. Once he becomes proficient, it is not impossible for him to go toe-to-toe with a great emperor!

Regardless of their combat prowess, several of the Ten Great Emperors of the Rooftop are indeed at the Great Emperor level in terms of their cultivation realm!

One minor emperor equals one against twelve forbidden spells!

However, since I'm a big shot, I usually need to have outstanding subordinates!

However, he now has many incredibly loyal subordinates!

It's time for the Undying Blood Clan and the Light and Shadow Wolf Clan to have their own emperors!

Although the two races are different from humans, that is precisely why they are more loyal and not easily swayed by other humans!

Countless vampires and werewolves were incredibly loyal to the great emperor Chu Ming, but Chu Ming was too far away and too high up in their lives!

In order to live and survive, one may harbor ulterior motives while remaining loyal!

The Totem Lineage, the Three Major Alien Warbands, the Human Warband, and Human Government Affairs – this is the four-legged power Chu Ming has prepared!

.........

"So you're not surprised?" Shao Zheng slowly recounted some secrets belonging only to this ancient empire.

However, Chu Ming was rarely seen surprised again; instead, he was mostly curious.

"Not even an Emperor-level one, so it's not a problem!" Chu Ming commented.

"That's true!" Shao Zheng nodded, having no doubt about Chu Ming's talent and abilities!

The numerous "miracles" recorded in history have proven just how outrageous Chu Ming, the favored son of Heaven, can be!

However, this condescending attitude inevitably caused some turmoil among the lower classes...

"You have emperor-level angels, three major legions of vampires, werewolves, and Skrulls, ten warbands, and S.H.I.E.L.D...."

"They carry an army of angels with them..."

"The leader and patron of the totem lineage, the next guardian of the Azure Dragon totem..."

"The saviors of the witchcraft sects and poison/insect magic practitioners in the Miao and Guangxi regions, carrying forward..."

"Backed by the Holy City, the world's overt superpower, and through marriage alliances with countless powerful families..."

"The mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. Research Institute (Asia), which is at least 30 years ahead of the world's cutting-edge technology..."

『.......』

"The founder of the martial arts lineage!"

Shao Zheng's words became increasingly sarcastic!

The more I talked about it, the more shocking and terrifying it became!

Unbelievable!

"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Chu Ming calmly accepted Shao Zheng's sarcastic remark.

They're so sensible, can't they even be a little sarcastic? Can't they just vent their frustrations?

However, it's obvious!

Their own totem lineage still couldn't be hidden!

It seems that some people who claim to be loyal to themselves are also simultaneously loyal to others, a certain power, or a country?

never mind!

Soon these people will be loyal to the same person!

Let's not pursue this further!

.......

"By the way, what's your opinion on those... families?"

With a solemn expression, Shao Zheng continued speaking before Chu Ming could answer, "Since ancient times, it has indeed been impossible to completely eliminate powerful clans!"

Therefore, the emperor, the court, the family, and the officials have always been constantly exploring ways to get along.

"Qin Zhi......"

The Han dynasty's policy of "those who acquire the wealthiest men in the land are relocated to Luoyang to guard the imperial tombs," and the powerful clans and gentry...

The soldiers from Guandong, the gentry from Guanxi, the nobles of Guanzhong and Longxi, and the military organizations of Longyou during the Sui and Tang dynasties...

During the Song and Ming dynasties, when civil officials were in power, even a seventh-rank county magistrate dared to scold a third-rank military general, a member of the Donglin Party, or a powerful figure who "released military power over a cup of wine" and a noble who "shared the fate of the nation"...

"Of course you know all this!" Shao Zheng swallowed a mouthful of tea. "But what I want to say is, firstly, no aristocratic family or clan group would still be on the same side as the emperor at the end of a dynasty."

Secondly, every family in history has tried various methods at the beginning of a dynasty!

For example, when the Qin court's attention was focused on the newly established empire, how did the neglected Qin people and clans "refrain from exerting any effort or resistance" in the face of the rebellion of the six states? And how did they react when Liu Bang captured Xianyang...?

For example, how did Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty, after the aristocratic families completely blocked the channels for upward mobility, "when my flower blooms, all others wither"? He killed people according to their family genealogies, ending the aristocratic families (represented by the Five Noble Clans and Seven Surnames, who even disregarded the emperor), and ushering in the era of the aristocratic clans!

For example, when the powerful families of the Ming Dynasty faced the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they both looked down on it and chose to cooperate to crush the Ming Dynasty, which had been suppressing the various families to the death.

The appeasement went too far.

The Manchus slaughtered almost all the members of the powerful and aristocratic families!

All that's left are a bunch of lackeys who can only kneel and call out "Master"!

However, this set a bad precedent for future generations!

Because, as shown in the example of Huang Chao's massacre of the aristocratic clans, it proved that rulers do not need the assistance of powerful families at all!

Therefore, Shao Zheng is worried!

It's not that I'm worried Chu Ming won't see through the aristocratic families' plans!

Instead, the concern was that Chu Ming, known for his tough style and penchant for large-scale purges, might take action against the aristocratic families without being absolutely certain of success...

There's also a concern that Chu Ming, having achieved early success, might become overconfident and retain power within a powerful family, ultimately leading to his being sidelined...

"My soldier tokens and control shouldn't be a secret anymore, right?" Chu Ming wondered why Shao Zheng would ask this question.

The tide has turned; with me here, who dares to rebel?

"But what about after you're gone?"

Shao Zheng didn't say anything about democracy and feudalism, so does Chu Ming seem like an undemocratic person?

"Continuing a hundred years from now?!"

"Oh~~~~ I understand!" Chu Ming almost didn't realize what "a hundred years" meant!

All I can say is, you're overthinking it!

"......."
