Only then is it truly three appeals for the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, depending on status, the three strata for the appeals may differ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just now, the shouts spreading from Qianqing Palace to the entire capital nearly perfectly fulfilled all requirements of the three appeals for the throne in one stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legally, Luofu may now hold his coronation ceremony at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luotian Army’s civil and military elites and former Northern Qing officials began preparing for Luofu’s coronation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luofu himself, the central figure, sat within the palace, pondering how to resolve his most pressing problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, with Luofu’s current power, as his strength grows, so too does the severity of the challenges he faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The triune entity of Heavenly Emperor, Underworld Sovereign, and Mortal Emperor will only deepen Luofu’s fragmentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This side effect will inevitably intensify as Luofu’s power increases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After days of silent contemplation in the palace—even ignoring the Jia household’s golden hairpins—Luofu finally devised a solution that was no solution at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly embodies the “three” in the Red Chamber world’s Dao generates One, One generates Two, Two generates Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet because the concept of Luofu remains unified, he has not directly split into three, let alone generated myriad things from Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to resolve this, he must reverse the process: Three returns to Two, Two returns to One, ultimately stabilizing his own concept of Luofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the operation of Daoist laws is a natural cosmic principle—Dao follows nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things have Yin and Yang, strength and weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luofu reaps benefits, so he must bear the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enduring so long in the palace, Luofu finally realized: his state is irreversible—or rather, from the moment he became the Supreme of the Three Realms, whether he willed it or not, as the pinnacle of this world, he inevitably must shoulder the responsibility of the world’s growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not something Luofu can simply shirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luofu attained Dao in the Red Chamber world; his Dao is inseparable from it—not even two sides of one coin, but fundamentally one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the Dao is Luofu, and Luofu is the Dao—a state surpassing even the Primordial Grand Master Hongjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luofu does not want this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants the Dao to be Luofu, but Luofu not to be the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this responsibility must be distributed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing so may severely harm the Red Chamber world, but Luofu does not care—he was genuinely shaken by nearly becoming a triune entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even considered severing the Heavenly Emperor, Underworld Sovereign, and Mortal Emperor as incarnations, hiding himself within the Divine Might World—absorbing the Dao and principles of the Red Chamber world without being bound by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is Luofu’s last resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless absolutely forced, Luofu will never choose this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as a staunch materialist and a committed feudal warrior, Luofu has not yet completed his goal of collecting the golden hairpins—how could he flee to the Divine Might World?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, there is not a single being capable of bearing this responsibility for Luofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one cannot, then let the entire world share it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits are Luofu’s; all side effects shall be borne by all sentient beings across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Daoist and Buddhist cultivators, Heavenly deities, Underworld spirits, or mortal officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Luofu made his decision, these beings all felt an unprecedented malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, it was the feeling of the Dao’s stern, inviolable authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the pressure of the Dao’s sternness enveloped Heaven, Earth, and the Mortal Realm—every deity, spirit, and mortal felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite the opposite: Luofu used the method of “reducing to achieve emptiness,” shifting the side effects—or responsibilities—he should have borne after gaining the Red Chamber world’s benefits onto the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, to Luofu, the world is now the Heavenly Emperor, the Underworld Sovereign, and the Mortal Emperor—but while he enjoys the rights, he bears no responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is like a public service advertisement from his former life: he takes all the wealth, yet the sins must be borne collectively by all beings of the Three Realms, while Luofu, who gained all the wealth, remains untouched by any sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luofu’s method is undetectable by any being in the Three Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the gap between Luofu and all other beings of the Three Realms is truly overwhelming—like a difference between dimensions, utterly incomprehensible to lower levels; even Heavenly deities and Underworld spirits cannot fathom the origin of this sudden, inexplicable Daoic pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many deities who know Luofu as a unique, bug-like entity cannot perceive the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At best, they will assume this phenomenon arises solely because Luofu, the first and only sovereign of the Three Realms since the world’s inception, has appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Luofu, within the imperial palace of the capital,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>having dumped all his side effects—or responsibilities, sins—onto the entire world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now calmly prepared for his upcoming coronation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Luofu seized the capital—or rather, from the moment the Luotian Army swept northward with unstoppable force, encircling the Northern Qing capital—the plan to relocate the capital from Jinling to Beijing had already begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jinling is truly not a place fit for an imperial capital; dynasties that established their seat there rarely lasted over a century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some may deem this superstition, but some truths are better believed than dismissed—especially in a world where Heavenly deities and Underworld spirits truly exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the primary reason Jinling cannot serve as the world’s capital lies in its location within the economic heartland of Jiangnan; while economically unparalleled, it suffers from inherent military weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The north, by contrast, is economically weaker but militarily strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why no dynasty has ever successfully conquered the north from the south—even if a legendary hero achieved this improbable feat, it ended as a fleeting moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Ming Taizu, only the Republic of China ever accomplished southern dominance over the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet within decades after Ming Taizu, the Jingnan Rebellion erupted, and the entire realm was nearly reconquered from north to south by Ming Chengzu; the Republic was the same—though nominally southern-dominated, its rule was notoriously weak, and within decades, it too was overrun from north to south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such matters, even with his power to suppress the world’s tide, Luofu would never stubbornly insist on making Jinling his capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment the Luotian Army encircled the capital, relocation was formally on the agenda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Luotian Army’s rise was so swift that the entire unification was completed in less than a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Luofu decided, no one in the world—no faction, no interest group—could object, for Luofu held true power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty thousand elite soldiers of the Luotian Army, each capable of defeating a hundred, are the true foundation of his dominion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luofu arrived in the capital first, claiming the glory of breaching the Northern Qing’s final city; Princess Lin Daiyu and the women of the Jinling palace followed days later, beginning their journey north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to schedule, Princess Lin Daiyu and the harem women of Jinling Palace would arrive in the capital before Luofu’s formal coronation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the women were still en route, Luofu, as the founding monarch of the new dynasty,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would never lack beautiful girls by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the ones he most anticipated were the dozens of girls offered by the Jia household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Luofu had been occupied resolving the consequences of accepting the Red Chamber world’s benefits—bearing responsibility, nearly becoming triune—and had to find a way to distribute this burden across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he had completed this, he finally had time to fulfill the grand vow he made after awakening his past memories and sharing the powers of all Luofus in the shared space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collecting the golden hairpins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the women sent by the Ning and Rong mansions were almost all members of the Twelve Golden Hairpins from the Three Scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When summoning these Jia household women who had voluntarily offered themselves,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luofu instantly discerned that the so-called Hua family’s Xi Ren on the list was a substitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slender waist, seductive charm, and a face slightly resembling Lin Daiyu’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had never seen her before, Luo Fu instantly knew that the girl sent by the Jia family under the identity of Hua Xiren was not Hua Xiren at all, but Qingwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, though Hua Xiren was one of the Golden Beauties on the Secondary Roll of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, Luo Fu had never held much thought for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: long ago, Grandmother Jia had assigned Xiren to Jia Baoyu. Given Baoyu’s lustful nature, his fondness for beautiful maids and his habit of kissing their lips for their rouge, Hua Xiren, as his chief maid, had likely been taken countless times already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Hua Xiren was the one who had first initiated Baoyu into the pleasures of love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, among the Golden Beauties, some had married, and if one were merely taken into the palace as a plaything, Luo Fu did not possess such rigid purity—he could even emulate Chancellor Cao and inherit Mengde’s ambition, and it would be no great matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the crucial point was that Hua Xiren’s brother, Hua Zifang, and all members of the Hua family had been killed by Luo Fu’s own hand, their entire household exterminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deep enmity was nearly irreconcilable; even if he wished to collect the Golden Beauties, Luo Fu would never accept Hua Xiren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was destined to be impossible in this life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in the next life, it would not matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2165,"2026-06-21T01:08:31.665Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2bf4e30003bb1368396c20a2a7b6f667bb119da5e5b6aa79d93c2fd7b2a60b2f","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-681","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-679",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
