In the next 12 days, the whole of Yuzhang City fell into an indescribable state of confusion and busyness.
Although Twelfth Zu Wu had been killed, Yuzhang City had been successfully defended in the end, and human beings had the protection of an unprecedentedly terrifying expert.
It stood to reason that all the surviving human beings should be extremely happy and feel that the future was full of hope.
But at this time, all the human beings were at a loss. They suddenly found that they could no longer see the future clearly, because they had fallen into a situation that they had never been in before.
After Ying Zheng shattered the Super Dimensional Wall that day, he strictly forbade human beings from reactivating the Super Dimensional Wall System in Yuzhang City again, and then announced to all human beings that they would never use the Super Dimensional Wall System again in the future. Human beings had entered a new era where they no longer needed to hide in an eggshell and struggle to survive!
Ying Zheng's words were very beautiful, but all the human beings had completely lost their sense of security.
Ying Zheng was indeed strong, but he was only one person after all, and it was impossible for him to take care of everything.
Once human beings lost the protection of the Super Dimensional Wall System, Yuan Kou could sneak into human cities at any time. At that time, the cities would probably become Yuan Kou's killing ground. Every day, a large number of humans would die under Yuan Kou's slaughter, and everyone would have to live in fear. After understanding this, all the human beings had fallen into a situation where they had completely lost their sense of security.
However, this was not the scariest thing. What was more frightening was what Ying Zheng did next.
After the battle that day, Ying Zheng asked all the sword-bearers to come to the square of Yuzhang City, and in front of countless cameras, he ordered all the sword-bearers to kneel in front of him to show their allegiance.
Although Jiandi had a name with the word 'Emperor' in it 1,000 years ago, and many humans had taken the initiative to kneel before Jiandi, this was all voluntary. Even in the face of an ordinary person, no Jiandi had ever dared to order this ordinary person to kneel before him.
Kneeling or not kneeling was a human's freedom. Jiandi would never force anyone to do this, nor would he care about it. Even ordinary people depended on their own will to decide whether to kneel or not.
Unless they had some special relationship, even an Ancient Sword Wielder would not voluntarily kneel before a Jiandi … All Sword Wielder were taught from a young age that being a Sword Wielder was the noblest profession in the world. A Sword Wielder would only kneel before their parents. Even if the heavens were in front of them, they would not kneel. Otherwise, they would lose their dignity as a Sword Wielder. Therefore, there had never been a Jiandi who dared to ask a Sword Wielder with a clear conscience to kneel in front of him. Not to mention, all Sword Wielders had to kneel before him.
But, Ying Zheng did it, and everyone could understand what he was thinking. What Ying Zheng wanted was not to be an emperor like Jiandi, but an emperor like the first emperor he was.
He wanted all humans to kneel before him, to become his subjects and slaves, and he would become a member of the human race, just like what the first emperor had done in the past.
And if they knelt before Ying Zheng today, they would probably have to kneel before Ying Zheng forever in the future.
Therefore, in the face of Ying Zheng's orders, many of the sword bearers chose to uphold their dignity and refused to obey Ying Zheng's ridiculous orders … In the end, these sword bearers all died … Ying Zheng personally killed these sword bearers and even broke their sword ladies … It was a very sad and ridiculous scene. A sword bearer who was risking his life for the sake of humanity just a moment ago had now died in the hands of the human emperor.
Faced with the threat of death, some people chose to persevere, but more people chose to surrender. In the end, after killing three more Immortal sword bearers and over a hundred other sword bearers, the remaining sword bearers finally lost their dignity, and had no choice but to kneel before Ying Zheng.
The Yuan Qian who came to support could not stand it anymore, and immediately opened the Gate of the Void, turned around, and left.
As for Liunian Ling and Long Shi Jiandi … Long Shi Jiandi was lying on the bed with only one breath left, and Ying Zheng could not be bothered with this Emperor Sword Wielder who was about to ascend to heaven. As for Liunian Ling, after Ying Zheng announced the order to kneel, she disappeared from Yuzhang City, and never showed her face again.
Since the Sword Wielder had knelt, the rest of the ordinary humans no longer had the courage to stand up, and they all knelt down, leaving only Ying Zheng, who was high and mighty, laughing at the sky.
Next, Ying Zheng announced a series of measures and orders. First, he would build a Human Empire, and he, Ying Zheng, would become the first and eternal first emperor of the Human Empire.
The name of Yuzhang City would be changed to Holy Capital, and at the same time, Holy Capital would be the capital of the Human Empire. From then on, humans would use Holy Capital as the center to reclaim the ownership of the entire Earth, and kill all the Yuan Kou who dared to stop them.
Next, every household had to hang a portrait of the first emperor of the Human Empire. Every morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night, people had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times in front of his portrait to show their respect to the first emperor of the Human Empire.
Then, within 12 days, the entire Holy Capital had to be cleaned up, and all the damaged houses had to be repaired. At the same time, the entire core area had to be transformed into the palace of the Human Empire, and he, the first emperor, would be enthroned in the palace twelve days later, officially becoming the first emperor of the Human Empire.
His Majesty, the first emperor, also had to carry out a concubine selection activity. Within 12 days, he had to choose 3,000 concubines and 30,000 palace maids to serve him, the first emperor of the Human Empire.
Oh, right, the first emperor had also announced the aristocratic system, and all the Sword Wielder had become aristocrats. Some important Sword Wielder had even been appointed to official positions.
For example, Lu Yin had been appointed as the Head Steward of the Imperial Palace, and Frost Jiandi had been appointed as the Right Prime Minister.
Also, Long Shi Jiandi had been appointed as the Left Prime Minister, and Frost Jiandi had been appointed as the Right Prime Minister.
Also, something worth mentioning was that Long Shi Jiandi and Frost Jiandi's Jiandi titles had been stripped, and they had been changed to Sword King. The reason for this was because the title 'Emperor' could only be used by the first emperor, and no one else had the right to use it. Thus, Long Shi Jiandi and Frost Jiandi had become Long Shi Sword King and Frost Sword King respectively.
This was a title that made everyone laugh and feel despair.
In any case, after one night, the Sword Wielder discovered that they had all sorts of strange official positions. This had already made these Sword Wielder's worldview explode.
It wasn't just these Sword Wielder. In these short 12 days, every single human's worldview had been greatly impacted, and the entire society had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The old order had begun to quickly collapse, and a new order had begun to be born. However, this new order had caused humanity to return to an even more ancient order.
Humanity didn't want to see this kind of order appear. They also began to regret handing over all of their power to Ying Zheng, that madman.
But now, they had already lost the power to choose and change. Ying Zheng's power alone had surpassed the power of 12 Zu Wu's. This made it impossible for humanity to even think of rebelling.
Although the entire Yuzhang City was currently in a state of turmoil, and countless people wanted to rebel against all of this, they believed that as long as Ying Zheng had enough time, under the suppression of Ying Zheng's power, humanity would sooner or later adapt to this new order. Then, they would begin to take the initiative to protect this order … Countless cycles of history had already proven this point … The premise was that no one could resist Ying Zheng's power.
… …
Twelve days later, the entire Yuzhang City was fluttering with red flags and noisy gongs and drums. Under the pressure of Ying Zheng's power, the core area of Yuzhang City had completely changed in just 12 days.
It had changed from a bustling city to a large palace complex that seemed to have come from the Qin Dynasty … This was thanks to the modern construction technology that was like black technology. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to achieve this in 12 days.
At this time, the entire palace was filled with a dense crowd. Looking from the sky, all one could see were black human heads.
At the outermost periphery of the palace were the humans who had forcibly come under Ying Zheng's order … These humans stretched from the palace to the ordinary district, occupying almost half of the area of Yuzhang City. At the center of the palace was a high platform named by Ying Zheng as the Heaven Suppressing Platform. This was the core area of Ying Zheng's coronation ceremony.
At this time, Ying Zheng had not yet appeared, but the Heaven Suppressing Platform was already densely packed with people … These people were all Sword Wielder, and at this time, they were wearing robes of different colors. According to Ying Zheng, these were official robes specially designed for them!
"The auspicious time has come … especially for His Majesty's coronation!"
A sharp voice shouted loudly. It was a fair-skinned, handsome young boy standing on the Heaven Suppressing Platform, but his legs were weak … This poor boy, because he had lost his parents, was caught and brought to the palace, becoming the first batch of eunuchs in the palace.
Yes, the profession of eunuch had actually reappeared in this extremely modern world after 1,000 years.
As the eunuch's voice faded away, an extremely luxurious golden dragon chariot appeared on the Dragon Path in front of the Heaven Suppressing Platform, carried by two hundred people, and the person sitting on this dragon chariot was naturally the new emperor, Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng could have reached the Heaven Suppressing Platform faster through the Void Gate, but he chose to ride on the dragon chariot that required two hundred people to carry at the same time. One could imagine the meaning behind this.
"His Majesty has ascended the throne, all officials kowtow!"
Ying Zheng finally sat on the dragon throne on the Heaven Suppressing Platform, and the eunuch announced the next order in a loud voice.
Below the Heaven Suppressing Platform, the Sword Wielder looked at each other. Although their faces were filled with helplessness, in the end, they still knelt down obediently. After all, after 12 days of training, they were somewhat used to kneeling down.
"Read the imperial edict!"
Ying Zheng had already written the imperial edict in his hand and handed it to the little eunuch beside him. The little eunuch took the edict with reverence and awe, and began to read it. "In accordance with the will of the heavens, the imperial edict says …"
Ying Zheng was very satisfied. With a face full of smiles, he listened to the little eunuch read the edict. He had finally done it, he had finally become the emperor of the human race once again.
And this time, his dynasty would not collapse after only 23 years. This time, he must make his dynasty last through the ages, and rule over the human race for generations to come!
Just as Ying Zheng was fantasizing, the little eunuch who was reading the edict suddenly stopped.
"What are you doing?
You're courting death! "
Realizing that the edict had stopped, Ying Zheng instantly cursed in anger. Just as he was about to scold the little eunuch, he suddenly realized that the little eunuch's eyes were staring straight ahead in surprise.
At the same time, it was not just this little eunuch. At this moment, all the Sword Wielder below the platform did not look at Ying Zheng, but at the distant sky.
There, countless golden lightning flashed.
There, countless illusions of dragons and phoenixes circled in the sky.
There, dragon scales and phoenix cries resounded continuously in the sky.
There, it was as if a real emperor was ascending the throne.
"It's Jiandi!
A Sword Wielder is ascending the throne! "An Immortal Sword Wielder below the platform could no longer control his mouth, and directly shouted.
In fact, this Sword Wielder did not need to say it out loud. Everyone who saw this scene knew that this was a phenomenon that would only occur when an Emperor Sword Wielder was ascending the throne … After all, every human had heard their friends and relatives describe the scene of Jiandi's ascension more than once. They had also seen the shocking scene of Jiandi's ascension more than once in videos. Therefore, all the humans understood at the first moment.
The magical scene that appeared in the distance was that of an Emperor Sword Wielder ascending the throne. This meant that the third Emperor Sword Wielder of the human race had appeared.
"Damn it … There's actually an Immortal Sword Wielder of the human race outside, and he's ascending the throne at this time!
Who is it?
Who is it that has ascended the throne at this time!? "
Ying Zheng's mind was a little confused. He had clearly gathered all the Immortal Sword Wielder in Yuzhang City, so who was this Sword Wielder who was ascending the throne?
Ying Zheng really could not figure it out at the moment.
After a few minutes, all the strange phenomena disappeared. This also meant that the other party had finally ascended the throne, and had become a true Emperor Sword Wielder.
"Forget it, Emperor Sword it is. Even if there are ten more Emperor Sword Wielder, so what? They are no match for me!"
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng snorted coldly … This cold snort was even louder than a clap of thunder, and it instantly shook the attention of the Sword Wielder who was paying attention to the strange phenomena in the distance.
"Hmph, there's actually a Immortal Sword Wielder who dares to ignore the heavy responsibility of protecting the human race and hide in a safe place to enjoy himself. Even if such a person ascends the throne, I will still suppress him and make him kneel in front of me, kowtow, and plead guilty!"
Ying Zheng said coldly. "Don't be distracted by such boring things. Continue with the ascension ceremony. When the ascension ceremony is over, I will go and capture this traitor of the human race!"
"There's no need for you to capture me. I've come to you, Your Majesty Ying Zheng!"
A clear and familiar voice rang out from afar. When they heard this voice, everyone was shocked as if they had been struck by lightning.
This was because the person who had appeared in front of everyone was none other than Sword Immortal Xihua, who everyone thought had died in the hands of Zu Wu. At this time, Lu Xihua no longer only had five scabbards on her body. A sixth dazzling golden scabbard was hanging on Lu Xihua's back, and an Archangel with twelve pairs of wings stood behind Lu Xihua with a cold, expressionless gaze, silently watching everything in front of her.
Sword Immortal Xihua … Oh … No … Xihua Jiandi, she had returned.
