Chapter 1634: The Drum Is Smashed by Ten Thousand Hammers: The Car God

Bianliang.

The imperial palace.

Zhao Guangyi's gaze was icy, his fingers pressed upon the dragon throne in the shape of claws, revealing his deep inner tension.

"Never thought there'd be another cheap older brother in another world. No way—I must fool my way out of this."

He entered the chat group and verified its authenticity.

Zhao Guangyi naturally dared not offend anyone inside.

After all, the items in the Shangcheng were too good.

Elixirs for immortality, cultivation techniques to become a Jin Xian, treasures to suppress all worlds.

All these things were precisely what he had most desired since ascending the throne.

Human desire is endless.

When hungry, one craves food; after eating, one craves wealth.

Once all that is obtained, one craves power.

And the Emperor, standing at the pinnacle of earthly power, now desired things beyond the reach of ordinary means. "157"

Immortality, eternal dominance atop the mortal realm—this became the emperor's ultimate aspiration.

In the past, such things could only be dreamed of.

But now, such things lay right before him—he must seize this opportunity, just as he had seized the throne before.

At the Chenqiao Mutiny, he earned the foremost merit, helping his elder brother ascend the throne.

The empire had always been half his.

But according to ancestral succession laws, the throne would pass to his nephew.

He could not accept it!

Why should all his hard work, all the risks he took—risking death—together with his brother to found the Great Song, end up benefiting someone else?

Two mere infants—what right did they have to inherit the Jiangshan of the Great Song?

For a time, he truly went mad.

Fortunately, the final outcome was favorable—he seized the Jiangshan and became Emperor.

Had everything gone as planned, the Jiangshan of the Great Song would have remained solely within his bloodline.

But he never imagined such a thing as a chat group would appear.

Though he did not understand what the chat group truly represented.

But he recognized the elixirs for immortality.

Chat group.

Zhao Guangyi: "Brother, you misunderstand. My world differs from yours—I did not kill you; you personally passed the throne to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Oh? Old Zhao, your counterpart in another world is surprisingly selfless."

Li Shimin: "Impressive! Admirable, admirable!"

Ying Zheng: "No surprise—it's Old Zhao!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "Even pigs wouldn't believe that—and you buy it?"

Zhao Guangyi: "Does my brother not believe me? My heart is as clear as sun and moon, as evident as heaven and earth."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Truly? Then let me visit your world. I am now a Luo Jinxian—without world barriers, I know past and future. If what you say is true, I'll accept you as my brother and grant you the chance at immortality."

Su Xiao: "Perfect kill."

Zhao Guangyi: "?? Luo Jinxian?"

Xiao Mai: "Well? Car God, what do you think?"

Zhao Guangyi: "Who are you? Judging by your name, you're clearly no one of status—how dare you speak to me like this?"

Xiao Mai: "Hehe, I'm just a humble Luo Jinxian. 【Arrogant】"

Zhao Guangyi: "Another Luo Jinxian?"

Xiao Mai: "To be honest, most in this group are Luo Jinxian. Your little tricks won't fool anyone."

Hu Yifei: "Instead of lying, be honest—maybe we'll still form a good impression."

Zhao Guangyi: "... Am I playing mind games with a group of immortals? This is too much. Do you find this funny?"

Su Xiao: "Wow wow wow, that's called turning the tables! You're the one playing mind games, yet you blame us? Taixuan Brother, I can't take this!"

Zhang Taixuan: "He's truly without accountability. We have plenty of villains in this group—but at least they're not this pathetic."

Yue Buqun: "Villain? Who's the villain? I'm a righteous man!"

Xiong Ba: "Commandant Yue, isn't that just confessing without being asked?"
