Chapter 54

She took a full half-minute to say them.

As if she had used up all the strength of her life.

Above the statue.

Qin Mu lowered his head, looking at the white-haired, dying old man before him.

This scene was very sad.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death, dying of old age, were unavoidable.

"God... god... Ji, before... dying... wants... to... see... the... god... one... last... time..."

For a long time.

Ji, kneeling on the cushion, slowly raised her head, gazing at the statue.

She said her final request.

She could feel that her life was slipping away bit by bit.

About to reach the end of her life.

But before death.

She had an obsession in her heart.

She wanted to see this legendary god.

Decades ago.

When the Ji Tribe was on the verge of extinction, in that small temple, the temple gave a revelation.

Bestowed upon her the divine book and the divine artifact.

Subsequently.

Relying on the divine book and the divine artifact, she fought south and north, walking all the way.

Decades of diligence and conscientiousness.

Finally...

Built such a prosperous Great Ji State.

Scenes from the past, like a movie, were playing before her eyes.

And she gazed at the statue.

With her head held high.

But she waited for a long time without the god appearing.

Her consciousness also gradually became blurred.

"God... still doesn't want to see me..."

She smiled bitterly in her heart.

Just as she was about to close her eyes.

She suddenly saw...

The tall and majestic stone statue actually began to shine.

A figure walked out from the middle.

Smiling at her.

"This... is this the god... much better looking than the statue..."

A smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she closed her eyes completely.

On the statue.

Qin Mu hovered in the void, sighing.

Just now.

He couldn't bear to see Ji leave with regrets, so he appeared before her.

And only she alone could see him.

"The first female emperor of Blue Star has died; to commemorate your achievements, there shall be three days of red rain, so that the world may know."

Subsequently.

Qin Mu took a deep breath.

Stretched out his hand.

And waved it toward the sky of Blue Star.

At the same time.

"Boom!"

White lightning tore through the clear sky.

The roaring sound of thunder rang out.

A torrential downpour arrived.

But soon...

People discovered that this rain was actually not transparent!

It was blood-red!

Not long after.

In the palace of the Great Ji State, the news of the Empress's passing was announced.

Only then did the world react.

"A strange phenomenon from heaven; this is the god seeing the Empress off!"

"The Empress fought for a lifetime, rising from the humble, her achievements are unprecedented and will surely have no successors! The Empress has passed away, and heaven is weeping for her!"

"May the Empress have a safe journey!"

"..."

From this day on.

The entire Great Ji State, from the princes and nobles down to the commoners.

Everyone wore mourning clothes to see Ji off!

Her various policies.

Made all of humanity...

Directly cross from the barbaric eating of raw meat and blood to the feudal period.

From the past of being insecure and worrying about attacks from wild beasts, to now living and working in peace and contentment, with enough food and clothing.

From being fragmented and having lives as cheap as grass, to now being peaceful and stable, with orderly order.

It could be said...

With her death, an era came to an end.

Countless people in the world wept for it.

Residence of the Minister of Works.

Yan was dressed in plain white clothes.

Looking at the red rain filling the sky, he bowed deeply toward the direction of the temple.

He understood that at the last moment of Ji's life, she would definitely go to pay respects to the god.

And the torrential red rain filling the sky before him...

Was precisely the god's affirmation of her life's achievements.

"To have the god see you off, what an honor..."

Yan sighed.

For a long time.

Only then did he turn around and enter a secret room.

In the secret room, there were densely packed "divine artifacts"!

That's right.

It was divine artifacts!

After eight years of hard research, he finally found the method to build the divine artifact!

Using that kind of red ore, one could extract a certain substance.

Using it to build weapons would be invincible!

The so-called bone spears and stone spears could not block its sharpness at all!

In addition.

In these eight years, he even imitated the defense of animal skins and built armor with this substance!

As long as one wore it, the teeth of ordinary wild beasts could not tear through the defense!

"Eight years, I have finally waited for you to die..."

Looking at the iron blades and iron armor in the secret room, Yan said faintly.

In the Great Ji State.

Ji's prestige was simply too high.

Relying on one person to fight south and north, suppressing an era!

And she was proficient in the Art of War, winning every battle!

Although he had always had the idea of rebellion, while Ji was alive...

He did not dare to make any moves!

Even if he had built the divine artifact, he had to wait until Ji died of old age before daring to act!

This was Ji's deterrent power.

As long as she was still alive for a day, the world would not dare to be in chaos!

"Tomorrow is the day the heir ascends to the throne; it is the best opportunity to act..."

Yan took a deep breath.

And began to plan the great matter of rebellion in the secret room.

The attack route, the method of forcing the palace, the time to act, and other matters were all planned flawlessly.

And Qin Mu...

Remained invisible the whole time, following Yan, watching him plot the rebellion.

"Although Ji's daughters are in high positions, no one has noticed that Yan will rebel; he should be able to succeed..."

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

Compared to Ji, her daughters seemed incredibly mediocre.

They didn't even notice that Yan was going to rebel.

And this kind of thing...

He was happy to see it happen.

It just so happened that through the system's simulation, he knew that Yan was the most suitable candidate to rule the world.

The next day.

Palace.

At the coronation ceremony of Ji's eldest daughter.

Yan appeared out of nowhere and suddenly stood out to obstruct it.

Relying on one thousand heavily armed iron-clad troops, he fought in and out of the palace seven times!

Completely slaughtered through!

Although his troops were not many, their combat effectiveness was incredibly astonishing.

Not long after.

He took over all political power with violent rule!

Ji's five daughters...

Instantly became prisoners.

"I will not kill you; I will keep you under house arrest for life, so you can take a good look at who is qualified to take over the Emperor's mountains and rivers—only me, Yan!"

Yan waved his hand and had people take the five away.

In front of all the civil and military officials, he directly held the coronation ceremony.

At the same time.

Changed the country's name to Yan.

From then on, the Great Ji State officially became the Great Yan State.

After doing all this.

He entered the temple.

Kneeling devoutly before the statue.

"Great god, the descendants of the late Emperor are incompetent and not even one ten-thousandth as strong as the late Emperor!"

"The world belongs to those who are capable; Yan could not bear to see the late Emperor's great cause ruined in their hands, so I raised an army to usurp the throne; I hope the god will forgive my sins!"

"Yan swears before the statue today that after becoming Emperor, I will definitely build an unprecedented empire that spans ancient and modern times!"

He began to tell the statue about his ambitions.

PS: Some students reacted that each chapter is too short.

From now on, the author will combine them into 4000-word large chapters.

There are two more large chapters later.

Also, I ask for subscriptions and automatic subscriptions.
