"Could it be that Sima Ke is thinking about Jin....?"

These light words spoken by Chen Yuan, landed in Sima Ke's ears like a heavy hammer, striking hard against his chest, and quickly bringing him back from his bewilderment.

He turned to look at Chen Yuan, and then saw the faint smile on his face, which immediately startled him. Although he no longer posed any threat,

Although he felt that with his mother and elder sister around, Chen Yuan would not attack him, and would even disdain to wipe him out with a wave of his hand, he still felt an inexplicable sense of fear deep down.

There was no other reason, Chen Yuan's power was too great now!

The title of Holy Martial Emperor had spread throughout the human realm, praised by the Jianghu and the people. This even surpassed the existence of the Chu Taizu. In comparison,

He, the former king of the fallen Jin Dynasty, seemed too insignificant.

The two of them were no longer on the same level.

The Emperor of Great Yan was the true speaker of heavenly law, deciding the life and death of the world with a single word.

At the moment Chen Yuan spoke, the originally bustling sounds in the hall almost instantly solidified, freezing in that moment. Everyone's eyes subconsciously followed Chen Yuan's gaze,

Turning towards the corner.

Some were mocking, some were fearless, and some were worried.

And the one who was worried was Princess Pingyang.

The fact that she had changed her name and entered the harem as an imperial concubine was almost common knowledge within the court, but everyone seemed to have surprisingly forgotten Pingyang's identity as a princess of the former dynasty.

No one dared to stir up this topic, even at today's banquet, they were calling Pingyang "Consort Chen," as if looking at a stranger.

Pingyang's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at Chen Yuan at the head of the table with some concern, but she did not say anything, because she was also confused by this sudden scene.

Could it be that he was still not at ease with Sima Ke?

She didn't think so. It was likely just a whim, a casual question. After all, Sima Ke had lost everything, and had been very honest ever since the establishment of Great Yan.

For the most part, he had never left the Duke Anle's residence.

He was a paragon of the former imperial family.

In fact, she was not wrong. Chen Yuan really did not have any intention of testing Sima Ke, because there was no need. He just had a sudden thought.

He thought of a famous scene and wanted to see how Sima Ke would answer.

Sima Ke looked at the surrounding silence and the meaningful gazes of everyone, squeezed out a flattering smile, and said in a low voice:

"Uh.... I am happy here, and do not think of Jin..."

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha...."

Chen Yuan laughed loudly, and everyone echoed him.

And this strange atmosphere passed, and Sima Ke laughed softly, secretly relieved. He knew that this answer was quite pleasing to Chen Yuan.

Crisis averted....

......

The small banquet passed very smoothly. Chen Yuan also made his first appearance since the Yan army marched south. In short, it was very successful. The court was harmonious, and the officials were united.

Of course, these power holders would never be satisfied. It was just that Great Yan had just been established, and the four directions were being pacified. It was the most prosperous moment, and no one dared to have any petty thoughts.

Even less dared to reveal them.

Soon after, Chen Yuan established a grand banquet, inviting all the top existences in the world: the heter姓 kings from all directions, the Sect Leaders of the Immortal Sects, the Dukes of various ranks.

There were also the Ministers of the Six Ministries, many immortals. It could be said that it brought together the most top-level power and power holders of the entire Great Yan Dynasty. Any one of them could stomp their feet and shake the Jianghu.

Chen Yuan had only two goals for holding this grand banquet. One was to start preparing for the coming of the Immortal Realm in a few years. Under a toppled nest, there are no unbroken eggs.

When he announced this news, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression.

After all, that was the Immortal Realm!

Now, they had to fight to the death against such a group of existences. Even thinking about it... would make everyone feel like a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, casting a layer of gloom.

But Chen Yuan told everyone in the hall that they might not be without a chance of victory.

At least this Immortal Extermination War was much stronger than the one a thousand years ago. Not only were there several Earth Immortals and Human Immortals to assist, but there was also a Demon Emperor Realm existence as an external aid.

Most importantly, he... had already reached the level of Peerless Martial God.

He could even fight against a peak Heavenly Immortal, and had a chance of winning.

As long as those three Immortal Venerables were not too outrageous, Chen Yuan's chances of winning were indeed not small. The reason he felt pressured was because the so-called Longevity Platform and its resurrection power were too terrifying.

The other party could lose many times, but he only had one chance.

So this one chance could only be a win, not a loss!

The second thing was that he was going to ascend to the throne of Human Emperor and gather the Destiny Qi of the Human Emperor!

The reason why Chen Yuan had repeatedly delayed it in the beginning was because Chu Taizu had said that the Human Emperor's Destiny Qi would hinder his progress in cultivation, and suggested that he gather it only when he could no longer improve.

That was not only power, but also the beliefs of hundreds of millions of people pressing on his heart. While gaining power, he would also bear enormous pressure, so he had temporarily put it aside.

But now it was different. He had already reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm with the rules of the Five Elements, and could not improve in a short period of time. It was almost the time for the opportunity to come.

Most importantly, Chu Taizu said that he could at least suppress the Immortal Gate for ten years, but what if something went wrong in the middle?

It was never wrong to prepare in advance.

"What do you all think about this matter?" Chen Yuan sat at the head of the table, wearing a dragon robe. A powerful pressure enveloped his body, and his calm gaze slowly swept over everyone in the hall.

He was not asking for opinions, he was notifying them.

The people present naturally knew this.

Therefore, without any hesitation, the Zhennan King, Chu Changfeng, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty is accomplished in both literary and martial arts, his merits are comparable to those of the ages, and his prestige suppresses all directions. He should be the Emperor of our human race!"

"Your Majesty has swept away the troubled times, suppressed the human world, and protected our Central Plains human race. His achievements are comparable to those of the Human Race Martial Emperor and the Chu Emperor. If he does not ascend to the throne of Human Emperor, who else is qualified?"

Wei Wuque also immediately echoed.

"Your Majesty should be the Human Emperor and sweep away the Immortal Realm," Tianxu Daoist continued.

"Your Majesty's achievements can illuminate the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, heaven, earth, stars, and galaxies. To be an Emperor is a matter of course."

"I second the proposal."

"We second the proposal..."

The many ministers and immortals in the hall all said a sentence each, supporting Chen Yuan's ascension to the throne of Human Emperor. In the end, they gathered into a sentence, "We second the proposal," which constantly echoed in the hall.

Chen Yuan was not like Jingtai back then. At that time, he was facing internal and external troubles, and the strength of the court was insufficient. He tried to extend the national destiny of Great Jin through trickery. In fact, neither the Jianghu nor the common people, nor the court, supported him.

He just acted arbitrarily and forcibly suppressed the objections of others.

But Chen Yuan was different. He was truly supported by all, and his prestige was added to him. The court had just been established and was in a moment of high morale. The Jianghu was suppressed and could not even lift its head.

And the common people received the emperor's grace, so how could they not support him?

The reaction of the people in the hall was not beyond Chen Yuan's expectations. He smiled faintly, raised his wine glass, and said in a deep voice:

"Announce it to the world. Choose an auspicious day, and I shall be the Human Emperor!"

"Your subject obeys!"

"Your subject obeys..."

......

With Chen Yuan's order, the news that he was going to ascend to the throne of Human Emperor spread throughout the human world in the shortest amount of time. As he expected, after hearing this news, the people of the Central Plains

Were all jubilant and supported Chen Yuan.

This was true for both the Jianghu and the common people, looking forward to the day Chen Yuan became the Human Emperor. Although many people did not know what the Human Emperor meant, judging from this title, it was an extraordinary identity.

But Chen Yuan was worthy of it!

His deeds had long been spread throughout the Central Plains under the deliberate promotion of the court. Among them, there were many mythical colors, telling the story of his legendary life and his ambition to save the people.

Furthermore, under the collection of some people with ulterior motives, a "Holy Martial Biography" was compiled. Some people also called it "Yan Emperor Records" or "Taizu Records." In short, countless copies were printed in order to further enhance Chen Yuan's prestige.

It could be said that he was a living legend. Ascending to the throne of Human Emperor, what was impossible?

Of course, there were also people who shouted out voices of resistance. After all, there were hundreds of millions of people in the world, and it was impossible for everyone to truly gather their hearts in any place.

But their voices were basically drowned in the vast ocean, and with the suppression of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they did not even stir up any waves.

The main theme of the world was still supporting Chen Yuan's ascension to the throne of Human Emperor.

Moreover, countless people wanted to enter Zhongzhou to witness this grand ceremony, wanting to personally see the true face of the Holy Martial Emperor. The post stations in various places were all crowded with people, stretching endlessly.

Outside of the Central Plains, the reaction was equally huge. The Emperor of Great Yan was the Emperor of the Central Plains, but the Human Emperor was the Emperor of the entire human race.

Whether it was the grasslands, the Western Regions, or the various overseas countries, they were all of the human race.

Some people, after years of tireless brainwashing, had already regarded Chen Yuan as an incomparably great and righteous existence, believing that he was the savior of the human world. Hearing this news,

They were very excited, and even forgot the hatred of the extermination of their clans back then.

After all, in their opinion, it was the Holy Martial Emperor who brought them fire and civilization, pulling them out of the pit of fire. Now, they were just atoning for their sins.

But there were also people who showed resistance. After all, only a few years had passed since the troubled times, and many people had survived from that era. They were extremely resistant to the Central Plains.

Many places had formed various dark forces, striving to overthrow Great Yan and restore their countries and territories.

Under the promotion of Chen Yuan's ascension to the throne of Human Emperor, many forces showed signs of troublemaking, propagating that Chen Yuan was a devil, a demon from the abyss.

He was not a savior, let alone the co-lord of the world and the Heavenly Khan.

However, what they ushered in was the crazy suppression of local governments. As long as there was suspicion, they did not care about evidence and often destroyed families and exterminated clans.

With iron and blood, they washed away everything.

Even worse, the most ruthless ones were those members of their own clans who resisted. For them, the reason they were able to gain appreciation and power was because of Great Yan.

How could they allow others to humiliate them?

They... were the side of justice!

But whether it was resistance or support, it was actually just an attitude. It was just that, and it could not change anything at all. The ascension to the throne of Human Emperor was a matter for the entire Great Yan.

In the face of the general trend, all voices were small, and all resistance would be crushed into powder.

....

The outside world was noisy and actively preparing, but Chen Yuan, the main character, was leisurely and comfortable, enjoying everything he had in the harem every day.

This was the purpose of his continuous climbing to the top, step by step. If he had to do everything himself, what use were those civil and military officials and the various immortal sects?

What was the point of being his emperor?

It should be like this, with a single word, the world followed, and the human world moved.

In the Imperial Garden.

Chen Yuan leaned against Madame Xu's embrace, smelling the faint fragrance, holding a compiled book in his hand with the words "Holy Martial Biography" on it.

He looked at the words and deeds on it with great interest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth continued to rise.

'Emperor Holy Martial, humble in birth, ambitious, determined from a young age...'

Many of Chen Yuan's deeds were greatly beautified and exaggerated, and many events that had never happened were added to Chen Yuan's growth.

It was not shaping a person, but a perfect god.

One of the deeds even mentioned that Jingtai of the former Jin Dynasty was amazed by Holy Martial at first sight, and suppressed him because he did not want the people to be rescued from the sea of suffering, otherwise the court would not be able to exploit them.

And Holy Martial was persevering and unyielding, endured for several years, and finally uncovered shocking secrets, exposed Jingtai's crimes, and vowed that the chaos in the world would end with him.

However, the fact that the chaos in the world began with Chen Yuan was not mentioned at all.

"Your Majesty, open your mouth..." Madame Xu pinched a lychee and sent it to Chen Yuan's mouth, and chuckled:

"Your Majesty is absorbed in reading."

"Hehe, who compiled this 'Holy Martial Biography'? It's a bit interesting. Looking at the people inside, I don't even think it's myself..." Chen Yuan shook his head and put down the book.

He was not as great and righteous as in the book. The reason why he kept working hard was just to get more power and stronger strength. He even used means of conspiracy, framing, and exterminating clans.

However, this was not important.

When he ascended to the throne, all the past and history could be modified. It was not because he was ambitious, but because the world was in chaos and the people were suffering.

That was why he overthrew the tyrannical Jin and established Great Yan.

The saying that history is written by the victors is not wrong at all. It is now deeply interpreted in the Holy Martial Biography. Now, it can only deceive some ordinary people and low-status martial artists.

But after a hundred years, a thousand years, this will be the real fact.

"Your concubine thinks so too," Madame Xu chuckled, like a blooming flower.

"Hehehe...."

"Your Majesty."

"Hmm?"

"A few days ago, Zhi'er said he wanted to enter the capital to see his concubine..."

"Well, granted."

"Does Your Majesty have free time?"

"Let's talk about it then. If I have free time, I'll see him."

"Your concubine thanks Your Majesty for Zhi'er."

"Hehe...."

....

....

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day for Chen Yuan to ascend to the throne of Human Emperor.

It's the end of the month, Stone boldly asks for a monthly ticket.
