Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 154 Possession and Revenge!
[Ding! You're dead. The wrong choice led to the wrong outcome...]

【Great! No need to say more! 】

[Throughout your life, you've eradicated corruption, established the Jinyi (Emperor's Guard), distinguished classes, and brought peace. Externally, you've taken over Korea, destroyed Japan, shaken Southeast Asia, sailed to the West, and founded Rome... In short, you've accomplished everything, both internally and externally!]

[Never before in the entire history has there been such dazzling achievements as yours. You are the true eternal saint, the true rising sun of the East. Your radiance pierces the eternal darkness!]

[If Heaven had not given birth to Zhou Liang, the world would have been in darkness forever! ]

What? Confucius has a problem? I think Confucianism wants to quit!

[The people of the world have received your infinite kindness, and in return, they have also given you infinite loyalty... During your reign of more than 130 years, you have been no different from an emperor!]

In the realm of political achievement, you have not only surpassed all your predecessors, but even surpassed your own peak record in your previous life... In this life, you are no longer the despairing Saint King whose ideals and nation were shattered. Instead, you have landed smoothly and preserved the Ming Dynasty, the fruit of your life's labor, intact in the hands of the Divine Emperor.

Even though your historical status and popular image declined in the middle and late stages of this world due to the Divine Emperor's reformation, you don't care: compared to your own status, the people's peaceful life is more important!

[You are already content to preserve this hard-earned prosperity...]

[Thus, you have truly achieved a perfect ending as a paperhanger, and can be called the greatest and most perfect reformist leader in history!]

[Of course, this is also your biggest flaw and problem in this life.]

[No matter how perfect a paperhanger is, he is still just a paperhanger. The unstable time bomb of the Divine Emperor has not been defused at all. He is still the source of darkness that relies on eating humans to survive. Your efforts can only help him change a batch of ingredients and regain some of his humanity...]

[And no one knows how long this illusory human nature can last. After all, it's hard to change one's nature. Can a monster that feeds on eating humans really always consider itself human without any strong constraints?]

[In short, you are pessimistic about this...]

[And He has deceived you so many times that your already violent temper has become even more extreme and insane!]

[So, as your soul was about to be torn apart, you completely abandoned all your fantasies about the cannibals, and your heart was filled with only hatred and resentment...]

【Give up your illusions and prepare for struggle! 】

【He is dead! 】

【…】

[Ding! This simulation has ended, and the rewards for this round are being calculated...]

……

"It's over again..."

After reading all the information, Zhou Liang couldn't help but sigh:
This kid is really a little crazy...

"Actually, I think the Emperor was serious when he wanted to exchange information with Him again."

The person in charge is confused, but the bystander can see clearly. Zhou Liang, who is a third-party perspective, is thoughtful:
"He's dead, and only his spirit remains. There's really no need for the Divine Emperor to lie to him. Moreover, the form of his spirit is clearly beyond the Divine Emperor's comprehension. Given his overly mysterious behavior, the Divine Emperor should treat him with caution and use any necessary information as a bargaining chip to stimulate further discussion."

"So, his last exchange of information was most likely sincere, and not some attempt at manipulation..."

"Besides, even if he suspects the Divine Emperor of another scam, all he needs to do is ask me a question right now, and I can use this as a save point... That way, even if the Divine Emperor is truly deceiving me, at most I'll just have to start over. There's really no need to be so drastic as to directly reject him..."

Isn't this the meaning of save points?

So, Zhou Liang's angry rejection of the simulated character actually had other ideas...

But as the saying goes, "Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering." As a bystander from a third-party perspective, it is not appropriate for him to persuade a crazy person who is angry and mad at this time.

"Zhou Liang" had already become mentally abnormal due to the various blows of two reincarnations, not to mention that the Emperor of God had deceived him again. This time the Emperor of God proposed to exchange information again, which was equivalent to triggering his PTSD, and he became insane all of a sudden!

As for this kind of crazy person, it is best for normal people not to try to reason with him...

Furthermore, Zhou Liang did sympathize with him:
"The old society turned people into ghosts... The Divine Emperor turned him into this. This is naturally the Divine Emperor's fault, so he is not willing to give Him another chance, which is actually right."

It’s all the fault of the God Emperor. Can’t I just vent my anger on the God Emperor?
Epilepsy is over...

At this moment, the system also just finished calculating the rewards:
[Ding! Settlement completed! Do you want to claim your reward?]

Zhou Liang couldn't help but become curious:

"What's this time? It can't be something like 'Soul Out of Body' from last time, right?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Liang complained:

The "Soul Out of the Body" rewarded last time was rarely used by the simulated character. After all, the soul out of the body is at most a sneak attack skill. Although it appears and disappears without a trace, it is very suitable for bullying and stealing things. But as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, is it really necessary for "Zhou Liang" to bully the weak himself?

In fact, his only enemy has always been the Divine Emperor. In front of the Divine Emperor, even the combined power of mind and divine strength cannot defeat Him, let alone the power of the soul and mind... Therefore, the skill prize of "Soul Out of the Body" which looks very fairy-like is actually useless. Compared with such fancy things, Zhou Liang still thinks that the simple and crude power enhancement of "Sacrificing Ambition" is more practical!
Thinking about it, Zhou Liang nodded hesitantly:
"Take it."

[Ding! Prize obtained: "Spiritual Possession!"]

[“Spirit Possession” (Consciousness): The holder can possess any soulless dead person and control their actions!

However, please note that this prize cannot possess the living, and possessing a body will not bring life back to the dead. Therefore, it can only be considered a moving corpse, unable to digest food or preserve...]

Zhou Liang:?
"No...what kind of rubbish prize is this!"

Zhou Liang was amused:
"If the spirit possession can't take over the body of a living person, then what's the point of it! And what other time traveler can possess a body without also bringing the dead back to life?!"

This skill is equivalent to possessing only a dead body, and the dead body can neither be resurrected nor preserved...

An angry Zhou Liang could not help but complain:

"Instead of giving me this kind of ridiculous prize that looks good but doesn't do anything, you might as well continue to give me the Ambition of Sacrifice... or even the Light of Spirit!"

But since the prizes had already been handed out, Zhou Liang could only sigh and accept it...

"However, there's probably no need for any extra prizes right now."

Zhou Liang comforted himself helplessly:
"Anyway, the clearance is just around the corner..."

Although there is still a lot of unknown information, "Zhou Liang" has already found a smooth road when it comes to killing gods!

The plan was very simple and crude. In short, before entering the sight of the Divine Emperor at the very beginning, "Zhou Liang" would sneak out of the Ming Dynasty and use the method discovered by Li Laiheng to develop quietly... and when he developed, he would beat the Divine Emperor to his knees in front of him!
Therefore, as long as we act according to the plan, no matter how powerful the Divine Emperor is, he will die...

Thinking of this, Zhou Liang became excited again:
There is no time to lose, let’s get started!

"System! Continue the simulation!"

[Ding! We've detected that you're currently simulating. Would you like to return to your last life choice point and continue the branch simulation, or return to your birth node and start over?]

Is it the birth point or the previous node?
Obviously, the birthplace is the best! Because at that time, the Emperor of God didn't know him at all. As long as the operation is done properly, Run can easily develop after going abroad!

"Return to the birth node!"

[Ding! Returning to the starting point...]

[Ding! We've detected that you're returning to the initial node. The system has determined that the second-life simulation is complete and has automatically retained the second-life world data... Would you like to overwrite the current real world?]

"no!"

The second life is good, but the third life is better!

[Ding! The host has not chosen to overwrite reality. The second life simulation data has been temporarily saved in the background...]

[Ding! Returning to your starting point... Loading story...]

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month in the forty-third year of the Chongzhen reign, you were born into a Zhou family in a small county town in northern Shaanxi. Your family named you "Liang," hoping that you would grow up to be a kind and simple person. However, I'm afraid this small wish will not come true...

[As the midwife delivered you, countless fragments of memory suddenly surfaced in your mind, and all the past events came flooding back to you...]

[Recalling the grudges of your past life, you can't help but feel angry: "Damn God Emperor! Master Liang, I will not let you go!"]

[This bullying will be repaid a hundredfold! ]

Instantly, filled with resentment, you conjure up numerous ways of revenge. After careful consideration, you finally condense your plans into two... one more moderate, the other more radical. You're a little undecided between the two...

[Ding! Faced with two options, you are very hesitant... What do you choose: (?)]

[A: Kill him with honor! Anyway, your past life experience has already told you that there is no way forward in the Ming Dynasty. Only by bringing your talents to foreign countries can you gradually ascend to godhood, until you can steadily defeat the Divine Emperor!

So, let's go! Even the foreigners' spinning tops are more delicious!

[B: Take a radical approach and starve Him to death! Doesn't the Divine Emperor enjoy using revenge against the Ming Dynasty's rebels to gain the divine power to sustain his life? Then make sure there are no more rebels in the world!
Since the Divine Emperor cannot obtain divine power from foreigners, as long as there is not a single rebel in the Ming Dynasty and all the people are brainwashed into absolutely loyal and obedient citizens, the Divine Emperor will not be able to obtain even a trace of divine power.

And if there is no source of divine power, the God Emperor will suffer an ominous old age, and as time goes on, he will really starve to death... This method may be slow to take effect, and it may indeed be a bit unconventional and evil, but there is no doubt that this will definitely make the God Emperor die in the most painful and desperate way!

So... Gan Shengxiong! Start! 】
