I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 359 Letting Go of Attachment, the Thought of Heading to the Upper Realm
Looking at the figure of the enormous golden dragon suspended in the sky and listening to the sounds around them, the people gradually came back to their senses.

So this is ah.

It turns out that becoming a citizen of the Celestial Empire does not mean that they enter the Celestial Empire's upper realm, but rather that their world is merged into the Celestial Empire's upper realm.

This is the same as in the past when their territory was occupied by a country or joined a country.

Their living environment and circumstances will not change immediately; it will take time.

However, the Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire in the upper realm personally descended to the lower realm.

Surely a divine being like him wouldn't deceive ordinary people like them?

Thus, they were somewhat disappointed that they did not directly enter the Celestial Empire's world.

However, the prospect of joining the Celestial Empire, living a life free from worries about food, clothing, and daily necessities, and having a brighter future still filled them with immense joy.

As the public's mindset changed, the gray and black atmosphere of public resentment gradually faded away and transformed back into a sky full of purple light.

Purple aura filled the sky, rapidly converging towards Wang Jingchen and merging into the purple aura surrounding him, making him appear even more majestic and incomparably noble.

Looking at the purple aura filling the sky, gentle yet majestic, and the mere leakage of its power rendering them unable to muster any thoughts of resistance, Wang Jingchen, Zhu Cilang, and Chongzhen were filled with admiration.

As expected of the Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire, his cultivation is extraordinary, and they are definitely not someone they can contend with.

With the added blessing of their divine status, even if they were all combined, they would probably only be suppressed by a single thought.

Consequently, Emperor Chongzhen abandoned the idea of ​​continuing the Ming Dynasty.

Such was the prevailing trend, one that he could neither resist nor reverse.

Moreover, considering what we saw earlier, it was only because after the sacrificial ceremony, we did not actually enter the upper realm.

The vast majority of people around the world instantly felt resentment, and endless public discontent rose up.

Emperor Chongzhen had also heard Zhu Cilang talk about the consequences of widespread public discontent.

Public resentment was widespread, the country was in turmoil, and natural and man-made disasters continued.
Furthermore, with great power comes great responsibility; when discontent arises in the country, the first to be affected are the ruler and members of the royal family.

When resentment cloudes the mind, one will inevitably commit all sorts of foolish and incompetent acts.

This vicious cycle has led to an obvious outcome.

Consider the situation when he first ascended the throne; beset by internal and external troubles, he almost destroyed the country.

If the Celestial Emperor hadn't discovered this world and sent Zhu Cilang to it, the fate of the Ming Dynasty would have been truly precarious.

Even now, if it weren't for Wang Jingchen's arrival and the gathering of endless public resentment, Lang'er and the others would probably not have fared so well.

If you think about it that way, not being the emperor wouldn't be so bad.

Moreover, as Zhu Cilang's relatives, they were able to receive a pardon and enter the Celestial Empire's world.

Thinking of Zhu Cilang's beautiful descriptions and the allure of immortality, Chongzhen couldn't help but be even more tempted.

Moreover, their world was named the Bright Realm, which can be considered a continuation of the Great Ming Dynasty.

At this point, Chongzhen had finally let go of his obsession.

In an instant, Chongzhen felt a sense of lightness in his heart and a clear mind. He easily grasped the mysteries of various techniques and supernatural abilities that he had never understood before.

"boom!"

In an instant, Chongzhen's cultivation level rose by a minor realm, reaching the peak of supernatural powers.

On the other side, Wang Jingchen glanced at Chongzhen as if he had something in mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

Emperor Chongzhen resolved his inner conflict and gained considerable benefits.

And he gained even more benefits.

As endless purple aura of popular support gathered around him, he formed a closer connection with this world through this medium.

Numerous rules and mysteries were stripped of their veil of mystery before it, allowing it to browse, interpret, and complete its own Great Dao and Dao Fruit.

However, the Dao Fruit that he evolved and condensed was the Dao of Emperors.

If you don't truly control a country and have millions of subjects and subjects, what kind of emperor are you? And to rise to the level of the Great Dao, being just an ordinary emperor is not enough; one must establish a dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Jingchen's promotion was not as significant as expected.

However, he will be stationed in the Ming Realm for a hundred years, even though all the systems and laws here are the same as those in the Celestial Empire.

However, he is indeed the supreme emperor above all others in the Ming Realm.

Thus, having firmly held the throne for a century, he was confident that he could fully nurture the Great Dao and completely evolve it into his own imperial Great Dao.

On the other hand, after the handover ceremony, Chongzhen couldn't wait to ask Zhu Cilang a question.

"Lang'er, when will we be able to go to the Upper Realm?"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cilang hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression changed.

"Lang, Lang'er, could it be that everything you said before was a lie to your father?"

“Father, what are you thinking? How could I deceive you?”

However, the timing is indeed difficult to determine.

"why is that?"

Emperor Chongzhen was somewhat puzzled.

Since they are indeed able to go to the previous session, what is there that is difficult to determine the timing of?

"Um"

Zhu Cilang pondered for a moment, then thought for a moment and said:
"The Ming Realm we are in now is like two isolated islands in a vast ocean between it and the Celestial Empire's Upper Realm."

The strong can naturally traverse vast oceans and travel between two isolated islands.

However, people like us who are not strong enough need some means of transportation, or perhaps a sky bridge or skyway should be built.

Otherwise, at best, we can only observe from afar.
Well, in terms of the world, only a wisp of consciousness can descend; the body cannot cross over.

As for the father"

As Zhu Cilang finished speaking, he looked at Chongzhen with a strange expression.

"."

Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Cilang understood what he meant. Wasn't he saying that Zhu Cilang's cultivation was weaker and that he didn't even have the ability to cross realms to descend and manifest his mind and consciousness?
Honestly, your old father was born in the lower realm, so how can you blame me for having a low cultivation level? That's just a limitation of that world!
"How much longer will it take?"

In the end, Chongzhen could only sigh inwardly.

He is now nearly eighty or ninety years old, but because his cultivation has reached the realm of supernatural powers, he still maintains the appearance of a middle-aged man.

However, the supernatural realm does not increase lifespan; at most, it keeps one free from illness and disaster, and maintains the body in optimal condition.

However, his lifespan was actually no different from that of ordinary people, at most one hundred and twenty or one hundred and fifty.

As for those who insist that only a minority of ordinary people live to be a hundred, well...
"Lifespan" means that he should be able to live to be 120 or 150 years old.

But that doesn't mean they'll definitely survive.

A person's living environment, lifestyle habits, and so on can all cause certain damage to their body.

Over the years, this accumulation of stress and injuries will inevitably lead to a shortened lifespan.

If one were to contract a serious illness, passing away in one's thirties or fifties would be quite common.

That is why Chongzhen was so eager to go to the upper realm.

If another thirty or fifty years pass, he may die of old age, so what's the point of going to the upper realm?
