The Great Seminary

Chapter 302 After you sing, I will appear on stage

The sun was high in the sky, shining brightly.

But when the nine-tailed phantom appeared behind the boy on the golden chariot, the surrounding light suddenly became even brighter.

The burning boy's nine tails vanished into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, Mingren Rongyue said in a deep voice:

"Stop fooling around, Abe no Seimei, come and continue the ritual."

Let the new soul of our prince be 'reborn'.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the golden palanquin, Abe no Seimei regained his gentle demeanor and leaped lightly.

It glided through the air and landed beside Emperor Eiichiro.

"Your Majesty, please let the sun on the Ningrang Plain of Shifaxianrong Island be 'extinguished'."

"Make it easier for me to 'reverse yin and yang'."

Ming Renrongyue nodded, raised his hands above his head, and chanted loudly:
"I am the daughter of the golden crow atop the Fusang tree, the Empress of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in Donghe Continent..."

As a result, the sunlight over the Ningyang Plain began to slowly dim.

On Mount Kumgang, hundreds of miles away.

Zhang Gui gazed at the Ningrang Plain in the distance, where daylight had turned into night.

Startled by this incredible power, the hairs on his back stood on end, but he dared not try to sense what was happening there.

Although before Mingren Rongyue appeared, he had already relied on the "legacy" left by the extinction of the natives of Xianrong Island and the complete annihilation of the Yuanshan Guard Army before he could "inherit" it.

They have seized control of more than 80% of the island's mysterious territory.

Yet, he still instinctively knew that spying on the 66,701st Emperor of Japan was a very dangerous act.

Although Japan was just a small, foreign country.

However, it is best not to easily touch upon the mystery of the oldest royal bloodline recognized by the 'Four Continents of Earthly Origin', which has been passed down for nearly a million years.

However, Zhang Gui, who had already almost completely transformed Fresh Velvet Island into his own earthly divine kingdom, did not want to 'escape' just like that.

He then sat down on a cedar tree on the mountaintop.

Quietly awaiting the end of the Japanese ritual.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The Ningrang Plain has regained its light.

Mingren Rongyue had already returned to the golden carriage at some point and was on his way back.

Uesugi Kiryuu rode a black demon horse with long horns on its head and no shadow.

Following closely beneath the golden carriage, he reported:

"Your Majesty, Fresh Velvet Island is like a ripe, bursting chestnut; there's no need to peel off the hard shell..."

"We're too late. This place is already the earthly kingdom of some 'god'."

The clear, melodious voice of Ming Ren Rong Yue emanated from the golden carriage.

“But, the ‘Han Lishen clan’ was just driven away by the Wonsan Protectorate and the Cheonje people…”

“Uesugi Gosho, your biggest problem is that you don’t understand the principle of ‘starting from the beginning and finishing from the end’.”

We have clearly used their strength against them and obtained the 'object' we wanted with minimal cost.

But you are still greedy and want to take more, thus provoking a not-so-deep enemy.

It's like we initially wanted to obtain a key to unlock the gates of a palace and turn that palace into our home.

The key was hidden in a dog hole.

So His Majesty has instructed you to kill the two dogs fighting each other in the dog hole and obtain the key.

You successfully obtained the key, only to find the dog hole empty.

They wanted to take over the dog hole too.

But a new dog had already hidden inside the dog hole.

If it weren't for that palace, it would be understandable that we would try to steal the dog hole.

But we have already obtained the key to that palace, and we will soon be able to open its doors.

Even if we expend all our strength to seize this palace, there's no guarantee of success. And yet, your gaze is still fixed on the dog hole…”

"Alright, Dr. Abe, I was wrong."

Uesugi Kiryuga interrupted Abe no Seimei with a stern face.

"From beginning to end, from beginning to end."

A wise person, once they set their mind on something, will see it through to the end and will never be tempted by other things.

For example, when our Emperor wanted to activate the divine artifact 'Void High Plain'.

Toyotomi Kanpaku initially promised to provide for him with provisions from all four provinces;

Next, the sixteen countries along the most fertile 'East and West Coast Roads' of Japan and Taiwan will be presented to them.

Finally, even…

"I said I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

"However, His Majesty the Emperor never let these petty gains distract him from his mind."

To wholeheartedly open up 'Void High Plains'...

"Our entire Japan-Japan border region only has 66 countries. The 16 countries along the 'East and West Coast Roads' are not even a small amount of profit!"

Furthermore, Fresh Velvet Island is large enough to divide into at least thirty 'countries,' it's not some 'dog hole'!

Despite having already given in, Uesugi Kiryuga was finally enraged by Abe no Seimei's repeated feigned deafness and roared loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingren Rongyue, atop the golden chariot, spoke again:

"But compared to Song Mingguo and the entire Dongsheng Continent, what is Xianrong Island?"
"Uesugi Kiryuga, if this is all you've got, how will you ever inherit the martial arts of 'Kanto Kanrei' Ryuden?"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, and I am filled with trepidation!"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kiryuga instantly sobered up, dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice.

He split the long queue, went around it, and then rejoined it.

Uesugi Kiryuga remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Until Mingren Rongyue's faint voice reached his ears again.

"This tiny island nation has trapped my 'Amaterasu Empress' bloodline for hundreds of thousands of years."

The 66,701st emperor is said to be remembered for all time.

In fact, on average, each emperor reigns for less than one 'zodiac cycle'.

Poisoning, hanging, drowning... there are countless ways to die, and less than eleven out of ten die of old age.

The biggest reason is not that the Japanese people are truly unruly and two-faced, with treacherous officials and villains emerging one after another.

Rather, the island nation is impoverished, and with the increasing number of powerful individuals, they can only fight and divide among themselves like vicious dogs scrambling for food.

It would be the same to occupy even a mere Fresh Velvet Island.

Only the Eastern Continent, only the mainland, is the one and only correct answer. Do you understand?

Uesugi Kiryu's eyes widened instantly, and he bowed deeply in sincere admiration, repeating:

"Your subject knows his mistake and is filled with trepidation."

Meanwhile, on Mount Kumgang.

Zhang Gui watched as all the Japanese sailors disappeared into the distance, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Without shifting or sensing, he activated the divine cluster 'Zongheng Ruyi' within his body.

They flew down the mountain and arrived near the camp of Prince Zhen in Ningrang Plain, as if flying over land.

They slowly walked into the camp and arrived at Prince Zhen's tent.

At a glance, it was clear that Prince Zhen's remains had disappeared.

All that remained were broken arrows and arrowheads scattered on the ground, and the kneeling, dead eunuch Yan.

After a moment of stunned silence, a chilling smile crept across his lips.

"The rituals of the Japanese are indeed aimed at Prince Zhen, no, not at any particular person, but..."
Targeting the princes and princes of the Ming and Song empires.

Only someone with such a status would be worth putting in so much effort.

It really is a case of one act ending and another beginning!
