Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 411 Human will is the will of Heaven, and the world is terrified.

Zhu Jinzhen was well aware of the commotion at the coronation ceremony.

But at this moment, he had no time to spare.

Having absorbed sufficient national fortune, the Imperial Seal, which contained the remaining national fortune of the Ming Dynasty and other countries, was transformed into a unique national treasure of the Ming Dynasty after being baptized by heaven and earth and refined by Zhu Jinzhen's method of governing the dynasty.

With the Imperial Seal of the State in his left hand and a hazy scroll of the Ming Dynasty's destiny in his right, Zhu Jinzhen, brimming with vigor, proclaimed in a resounding voice: "Today, I, Zhu Jinzhen, succeed to the Ming Dynasty, and by the grace of Heaven and Earth, I have received the mandate of Heaven, that my reign may be long and prosperous!"

"Rumble..."

As soon as Zhu Jinzhen finished speaking, the world changed dramatically. The wind and clouds reversed, golden light filled the sky, and countless dazzling golden lotuses appeared on the ground.

I bear the weight of the world's destiny on my shoulders and the profound virtue of the nation.

If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!
The envoys from various countries who came to witness the ceremony, including officials from the Ming Dynasty, were stunned and stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

"Golden light descends from the sky, and golden lotuses spring forth from the earth. Is this... a sign of a sage's birth?"

Almost instantly, everyone who knew Zhang Fuyao was there instinctively turned their gaze toward him.

Since the end of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there has only been one sage left in the world.

That was Zhang Fuyao, the Confucian sage of Liyang.

Unfortunately, Zhang Fuyao's divine will was severely impacted by the fate of the Ming Dynasty at this time, causing his mind to be in turmoil and making him seem like a madman, so he was completely unable to give them any answers.

Auspicious fortune descends from heaven, bringing prosperity to the nation!
As soon as the celestial phenomenon occurred, the entire capital city, and gradually the entire Ming Dynasty, whether soldiers, officials, or ordinary people, were all filled with excitement, and images of Zhu Jinzhen's enthronement ceremony appeared uncontrollably in their minds.

That was an inspiration for the nation's destiny.

Everyone celebrates!

The heavens and earth trembled. The establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty meant that the world of martial arts would move towards a higher level of mystery and dimension. It hardly needed to do anything. It only needed to wait for the Great Ming Dynasty to become powerful, and the world would naturally benefit, continuously growing stronger until it advanced.

"Excellent! Your Majesty has succeeded!" A genuine smile appeared on Yang Ning's face, and his hand holding the Silver Moon Spear even trembled slightly with excitement.

"Yes, even the heavens are shaken by His Majesty's words. His Majesty's promise that 'the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers will endure forever, and the Ming Dynasty will endure forever' will no longer be a slogan, but a reality!"

Yan Yimei was also so excited that she could hardly contain herself.

As beings who transcend the celestial beings on land, and as Zhu Jinzhen's most loyal subordinates, they were the ones who could best sense the changes in this world after Zhu Jinzhen proclaimed the establishment of a dynasty, and the various strange phenomena that arose in the heavens and earth.

"One person is the Great Ming, the world, and everything in the world."

"Your Majesty, you have succeeded!"

Changsun Wangqing gazed at Zhu Jinzhen with a shimmering, otherworldly light. In her eyes, Zhu Jinzhen was like the ruler of the world, one who embodied the entire Ming Dynasty, the entire world, heaven, earth, and all living beings, and even more so… an indescribable, supreme majesty.

emperor.

Or... the Heavenly Emperor!
When everyone looked at Zhu Jinzhen, they felt only their own insignificance.

Even though Changsun Wangqing, Yang Ning, Yan Yimei, Li Chengen, and others were all beings above the celestial level on land, capable of easily killing even celestial beings, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance, as different as a firefly compared to the bright moon.

at this time……

North of here, at Qingcheng Mountain.

Lu Suzhen gazed blankly in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, muttering to herself, "Impossible, this is impossible! How can the secrets of Heaven and the will of Heaven be contained within a person and changed by human will?"

"If a mortal emperor can control the will of Heaven, how is he any different from the Heavenly Emperor in mythology?"

The idea that "man can conquer nature" is nothing more than a self-deceptive statement meant to motivate oneself.

Under the rule of Heaven, all things are like straw dogs.

The fate of all living beings, the changing seasons, and the cycle of all things are all ordained by Heaven.

But now… Lu Suzhen saw a human will that transcended the will of heaven, breaking through the clouds and shattering all shackles, appearing before him in the most domineering and powerful manner!
From afar, he saw a majestic figure so imposing that it made him tremble with fear. The figure wore imperial robes and resembled the legendary Heavenly Emperor, influencing the changes of heaven and earth.

Overseas, on the fairy island of Penglai.

Upon their return, Li Changsheng, Mo Yi, and Huanglong Daoist stood atop Penglai Peak, gazing at the golden light that shone for thousands of miles away. Their pupils all contracted.

Some of them were banished immortals, the pinnacle of terrestrial celestial beings.

Some of them were immortals in Bei Li's eyes, terrestrial beings at the Celestial Realm, with profound Taoist arts, comparable to gods.

Naturally, one can perceive the source of that dramatic change.

"The fortunes of heaven and earth are bestowed upon him."

"How exactly did the Ming emperor manage to do that?"

Huanglong Daoist was so shocked that he yanked off a piece of his beard and said in astonishment.

Mo Yi frowned, looked up at the Ming Dynasty, and murmured, "Heaven has its destiny, earth has its destiny, people have their destiny, and nations have their destiny."

"The former is ethereal and elusive, while the fortune of heaven is the destiny of heaven, which is the favor of the heavenly way. The earth has its own fortune, which is hard to obtain unless one has great virtue and merit in heaven and earth. The fortune of man is the most mysterious, and it is related to the legendary destiny of heaven."

"The fate of a nation is also related to the rise and fall of dynasties and the life and death of countless people."

"Is it really possible to have countless blessings bestowed upon one person?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng pointed in the direction of the Ming Dynasty and exclaimed, "Isn't that it!"

Although Li Changsheng didn't know exactly how Zhu Jinzhen had done it, at this moment, in the eyes of these people, the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, no, the destiny of heaven and earth, had never been so "clearly visible".

They all rushed frantically toward the Ming Dynasty, toward Zhu Jinzhen, who proclaimed to the heavens that his reign would be long and prosperous, and that he would establish a dynasty based on the nation's destiny.

"The world has changed."

Huanglong Daoist looked at the Ming Dynasty, his body trembling, unable to control himself.

He cultivates the Heavenly Dao, and is most able to sense the changes in the Heavenly Dao.

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng said meaningfully, "Perhaps..."

"It's not that the world has changed, but that things have been different for a long time."

Mo Yi and Lord Huanglong looked at him with puzzlement, but Li Changsheng did not answer. He just stared intently in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, a thought rising in his mind.

"To suffer!"

"Not only Xiao Yi, but what about my two disciples? Could they have perished there too?"

Li Changsheng had some doubts in his heart. If it were anywhere else, he would have had strong confidence in Xiao Yi, his former sworn brother. The name of Xiao Yi, the founding emperor of the Northern Li Kingdom and the Heavenly Martial Emperor, was not just for show.

His sword technique, which splits the kingdom, is superior in killing power compared to Li Changsheng's sword technique, still water, and many other sword skills, and it has been refined over the past two hundred years.

Although Xiao Yi's cultivation level is still not as high as Li Changsheng's, he is already one of the best among the terrestrial celestial beings, so protecting the two juniors is naturally not a problem.

But the Ming Dynasty...

"It seems I still have no choice but to go there in person."

Li Changsheng sighed and shook his head. With a flick of his sleeve, his figure vanished from Penglai in an instant.

He knew that this trip to the Ming Dynasty was likely to end badly.

I must go back and take care of my own and the academy's affairs first.

Then, we will head to the Ming Dynasty!
