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

Chapter 263 A Past of Tyranny and Lust!

"Who is Zhu Youjian to you?"

【you:……】

【You: Huh?】

This unexpected question left you speechless for a moment, until finally you realized what was happening, and you were utterly shocked: How...how did He know about the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Youjian?!

[Isn't this the Southern Song Dynasty? Where did Zhao Gou get this information from across time and space?]

This is not scientifically sound!

In short, your mind is a mess. All your previous thoughts have been shattered by this unexpected question, which was like a depth charge... But you managed to gather your thoughts and, with a mixture of surprise and trepidation, carefully organized your words before cautiously asking.

"How did Your Majesty know about Zhu Youjian?"

[“Well…”]

Seeing that you had finally revealed the information you had been hiding for so long, Zhao Gou felt much relieved and slowly confessed to you as well: "Because I have seen Him before..."

[Seen it?!]

[You're even more shocked: Wait... what the hell? Where did He go to see Zhu Youjian?!]

[That scoundrel, the Divine Emperor, hasn't he been staying in the "illusory Ming Dynasty" ever since the golden light descended from the heavens? Where did Zhao Gou, this lustful Divine Emperor from another world, even meet the tyrannical Divine Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?!]

Could it be... that Zhao Gou could also time travel? Did he travel to the Ming Dynasty before?

The thought of this possibility sends a chill down your spine: if Zhao Gou could truly travel to the Ming Dynasty world, it means that this lustful emperor has always posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty. If not handled properly, he could become a true "extraterrestrial demon"!

[Furthermore, if He knew the Divine Emperor, what was their relationship? Were they friends or enemies? If they were friends, then wouldn't the Prime Minister and the original body joining forces to kill the Divine Emperor be tantamount to killing Zhao Gou's friend?! Wouldn't that make them enemies?]

[And if they are enemies, it doesn't mean you'll be welcomed by them, because the only reason two god-emperors would be hostile is a struggle for territory and interests! Your self-destruction will only remind them: the tyrannical god-emperor is dead, and the Ming Dynasty is now just a piece of unclaimed meat!]

[If that's the case, then even if the current world is just a "simulated world," and the fake Zhao Gou can't actually threaten the real Ming Dynasty and the real Zhou Liang, his threat to you is very real. If you're not careful, you'll die again...]

[You couldn't help but feel a tightness in your chest. To ensure your safety, you cautiously asked, "How did Your Majesty come to see Him?"]

"Well... let's not talk about that now."

Zhao Gou deliberately changed the subject, continuing with interest, "Please tell me what you know first, Zhou Qing. After I've heard it, I'll tell you all this..."

【you:……】

Clearly, Zhao Gou is deliberately trying to extract more information from you in order to seize the initiative in your communication!

But even if you know, what can you do? You're under someone else's roof and have to bow your head. Now you have no more cards to play; after self-destructing, you can only grit your teeth and keep opening your own box...

[So next, you began to roughly recount the things that the Prime Minister had experienced to Him... However, just to be on the safe side, you didn't mention anything related to "simulated reincarnation," nor did you tell Him about how the Prime Minister ultimately helped everyone in the Ming Dynasty ascend to "the Western Paradise."]

In your story, the Prime Minister became a peerless master in just one lifetime, ultimately defeating the tyrannical God Emperor and imprisoning him, periodically infusing him with divine power to maintain the existence of heaven and earth… However, because the Prime Minister feared that the God Emperor might one day successfully restore his rule, even though the God Emperor was one with heaven and earth, he still wanted to kill him!

[Therefore, the Prime Minister ordered you to cross the Golden Gate and travel to an unknown otherworld to find a feasible method—a method that could both kill the God Emperor and allow the world to continue to exist...]

[In short, you've crafted this logically coherent backstory, with everything in it vetted by the Prime Minister... This story clearly explains your origins and desires while minimizing the distortion of the truth...] [After finishing, you anxiously await the reaction and arrangements of the lustful Emperor before you.]

Zhao Gou listened intently, completely unaware of the deception in the conversation...

After hearing this, He clapped His hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! What a peerless savior!"

After praising Zhou Tianzun, He couldn't help but laugh at the tyrannical God-Emperor's fate: "Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian! In the end, you still capsized!"

"As the saying goes, the difference between offense and defense lies in the absence of benevolence and righteousness. I advised Him back then not to be so cruel to the people under His rule, but He wouldn't listen... Now look what's happened, He's imprisoned and a laughingstock to the world!"

Smiling, He said to you with satisfaction,

"Very well, since you have nothing to hide from me, then I will tell you everything I know!"

【…】

Next, this mysterious, lustful god-emperor slowly began to tell you his past stories...

However, this story is different from what you might imagine: First, Zhao Gou did not possess the ability to travel to the Ming Dynasty, and the two gods did not meet in the Ming Dynasty, but rather in this Jin-Song world!

Secondly, the two sides were neither enemies nor friends; they were merely strangers who had met by chance, perhaps only briefly acquainted...

According to Zhao Gou, more than 120 years ago, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura appearing within the territory of the Song Dynasty, and out of curiosity, he went to investigate it himself.

This search led them to a man, an emperor who claimed to have come from the "Great Ming"—his name was Zhu Youjian!

Upon meeting, the two couldn't help but inquire about each other's affairs out of curiosity... Then Zhao Gou was greatly surprised: it turns out that "Ming" was the dynasty that followed Song!

Once they got into a good mood, they talked even more, covering everything from astronomy and geography to history and politics!

[And as these friendly conversations continued for a while, even the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom noticed the existence of this visitor from another world...]

[Thus, the evil Jin emperor launched an attack on Zhu Youjian... Although Zhao Gou also helped Zhu Youjian fight off the enemy, he was not good at this kind of hand-to-hand combat, so in the end he could only watch helplessly as the newly arrived Zhu Youjian was beaten to a pulp by the Jin emperor, and finally escaped back to the Ming Dynasty with only a broken spirit...]

[From that time on, Zhao Gou never saw Him again... I never imagined that I would hear today that He had met such an end; it is truly heartbreaking...]

This is the story Zhao Gou told.

After listening, you felt a little dizzy, as this information was far beyond your current knowledge; you needed to digest it properly...

Just as you were processing this information, the Chancellor, who had been quietly listening to Zhao Gou's story, suddenly spoke up with a smile.

"Don't believe everything you hear; there's bound to be something false!"

【Why? 】

[Because Han Shizhong, standing to the side, looked extremely uncomfortable with his emperor's words...]
