Chapter 665: New Members Join the Group: Song Taizu, Zhu Wushi, Yue Fei (3/7, please subscribe)

Hu Yifei: "New members actually joining at a time like this!"

Su Xiao: "Too bad the banquet is almost over, the new members are out of luck."

Xiaomai: "I'm so stuffed, especially the flat peaches. I feel that after refining them, my strength will grow a lot!"

Zhong Suqiu: "The flat peaches are delicious!"

Jin Chan: "Why aren't the new members saying anything?"

Du Shi Tamen Hai Ku Le Wo: "Th-this... what is this?"

Liu Luo Min Jian De Princess: "A chat group connecting all the myriad worlds? Could it be the Three Thousand Worlds mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures?"

Yi Qiang Re Xue Wei Le Gou: "All the myriad worlds—could it be that I've been overthinking lately and developed a delusion?"

Lapdog Prince: "What is a lapdog?! Who are you, sir? Why must you put on airs and play tricks to fool this Prince!"

Su Xiao: "... Are all new members like this? There's an announcement, yet they still get paranoid. New members, just sign in according to the announcement, and you can verify whether the chat group is real."

Xiaomai: "Haha... this happens every time, it's so funny. 'Six-Two-Three'"

Zhang Taixuan: "Actually, verification is very simple. 【Red Packet】 sent out dishes and spirit fruits, consider it a little benefit for the new members."

Jin Chan: "The Dao Lord is benevolent."

Zhu Youjian: "For ordinary people, these spirit fruits are no different from immortal fruits. The new members are blessed."

The Great Song Imperial Palace.

Song Taizu sat on the dragon throne, frowning, his expression ugly.

"Voices suddenly appearing in my head—could this be the head-wind disease Chancellor Cao developed in his old age?"

"I've only just ascended the throne, why would I already come down with such an illness? Could it be heavenly retribution?"

In truth, Song Taizu did not believe in the notion of heavenly retribution.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period could be called the most chaotic era in history, even more so than the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Emperors and Generals died in numbers beyond count.

In this period, the Emperor held no authority, and the great generals under him held no loyalty. Once they had enough strength, they would raise troops and rebel.

Thus, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms saw endless wars and the people plunged into misery.

Song Taizu was also a man of this period, and he scoffed at the sanctity of imperial power.

Only commoners would believe in such things!

As a great general himself, how could he possibly believe it?

So, one day, he draped the yellow robe upon himself, seized the realm of the Chai family of Later Zhou, and became Song Taizu.

After taking office, just like other Emperors in history, he began to curtail the power of military generals, staging the famous scene of dismissing military commanders over a cup of wine.

He was truly afraid!

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, a total of 42 Emperors were killed.

If he did not restrict the power of military generals, then he might well be the next Emperor killed by one.

The lessons of the past were still fresh—how could he turn a blind eye to them?

"No. Why is the thing in my head so well-organized?"

"And why is there an extra passage of text in my mind?"

Carefully reading the information, Song Taizu sent out a red packet, and the next moment, a peach as big as a sea-bowl appeared before his eyes.

"Th-this isn't retribution, it's immortal fate."

Song Taizu was dumbfounded.

Never would he have thought that just moments ago he was still wondering if the thing in his head was head-wind disease, and now, in the blink of an eye, a fruit had appeared out of thin air.

"I, Zhao Kuangyin, am indeed the Son of Heaven, favored by destiny!" Song Taizu laughed heartily, grabbed the peach, and following the instructions in the chat group, wolfed it down.

The moment the peach entered his stomach, a warm current of energy arose, washing over his mortal body.

In just a moment, he felt his strength multiply several times, dozens of times.

Moreover, this pace had not yet stopped.
