My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 158 Virtual Frame Changes and Huge National Fortune Points

What Zhou Ping said was broadcast live around the world. For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar, and all the reporters present were stunned. Although they were all invited by Captain America Nabisson and others, no one had expected that the leader of the Guigu Sect that shocked the world was actually a monster, and also caused the Fushan female slave case.

Many powerful groups, other interest groups and practitioners in the country who were watching the live broadcast of the press conference found it unbelievable.

The Fushan female slave case attracted a lot of attention at the time. After Zhou Ping handled the case, he followed Director Wang's advice and did not disclose the truth, so many people did not know the inside story. Now they heard that it was actually manipulated by the Guigu Sect behind the scenes, which made the practitioners angry.

No matter how much practitioners fight with each other, we are all living in the modern information society and will not tolerate such things.

Therefore, in just over ten minutes, the Internet was filled with criticism of the Guigu Sect. The Guigu Sect was indeed very powerful, and they even had old monsters at the Nascent Soul level. However, no matter how powerful they were, netizens did not believe that the Guigu Sect could hunt them down through the Internet.

Of course, there are doubts, but more than 80% of people still believe in Zhou Ping. After all, Zhou Ping is now the strongest man in the world, and he even killed the notorious Evil King Tang. Whether in the eyes of ordinary people or in the hearts of practitioners, Zhou Ping is still very famous.

But the powerful and interest groups panicked.

They knew more than ordinary people and practitioners. They knew that the one who fought with Zhou Ping in Kyoto yesterday was a lizard shadow. They were surprised at first, but now they realized that the guy was actually the real body of the leader of the Guigu Sect.

These people can tolerate being inferior to humans, as long as their own safety is not threatened. However, many groups cannot accept being inferior to monsters, mainly because their safety is not guaranteed. Who knows whether these monsters need to eat humans or whether they will go crazy.

As for Zhou Ping's statement that he wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, not many people paid attention to it.

More than an hour passed.

The press conference is over.

Zhou Ping left his seat and couldn't wait to open the virtual box.

He had ascended the throne once at Mount Tai, but that was only a verbal ascension to the throne, not even the minimum formalities were complete. Now that he publicly announced it at a press conference, it was equivalent to truly ascending the throne, and the necessary procedures must be carried out.

Wow.

The moment it opens.

The golden light condensed into a five-clawed golden dragon that circled and rose on the surface of the virtual frame, followed by a deafening sound of dragon power in his mind.

Wait for the light to dissipate.

The color of the entire virtual frame has changed. The border has revealed a black and gold color, and is engraved with special patterns that look like dragon patterns. However, if you look closely, you can see that they contain a certain avenue of charm, and the display page is golden all over.

Zhou Ping was excited.

Sure enough, the actual ascension to the throne was different from before.

He took a few deep breaths and looked carefully.

I saw rows of characters in the golden virtual frame that seemed to be written in cinnabar, and each character seemed to contain supreme power.

[Host: Zhou Ping (not yet enthroned)]

[Country name: Han]

[Year: Kaiyuan]

【…】

[Altar: Not Opened]

Imperial Ancestral Temple: Not Built

Imperial Mausoleum: Not Built

Imperial City: Not Opened

【…】

read it.

He thought to himself that the changed virtual framework of national destiny seemed to be more specific and comprehensive, with buildings such as altars and imperial temples appearing in it. He didn't know what effect these buildings would have when they were opened and constructed.

However, what is important at the moment is not these, but to officially take the territory of South Africa into his own name and obtain a large amount of territory and national fortune points. After all, judging from the previous situation in the virtual frame, national fortune points are the top priority.

So close the virtual box.

He informed the Sword Flower Queen that they had brought the South African land transfer contract. Accompanying them was the King of South Africa, who had a bitter face. The appearance of the mineral materials needed by practitioners in the mines was a very good thing for South Africa. Even if South Africa could not get those mineral veins, as long as practitioners continued to come to South Africa, it would promote consumption and the practice market here, thus increasing South Africa's voice in the international arena.

But who would have thought such a huge change would happen.

Zhou Ping didn't care about the South African king's thoughts. After all, he didn't want to enslave the people of South Africa. He just needed the land here, even if it was in name only. Besides, it was not a bad thing for the South African people if he ascended the throne and became emperor here.

"I hope you can treat this country well."

When the two sides signed the agreement, the South African leader said this.

Zhou Ping nodded and then signed his name on the contract. In fact, this contract was just a formality. Even if he didn't sign it, the whole of South Africa would be under his control. However, if he wanted to obtain national destiny points and territory, this contract was necessary.

Signed.

Captain America, Nabisson, smiled and said, "Congratulations."

The Sword Flower Queen and the Sea Devil Gentleman also congratulated with a smile.

It can be seen that their smiles are quite sincere, because in their view, Zhou Ping taking over South Africa means that he has a weakness, and as long as there are concerns and weaknesses, there will be room for conversation and easing when they fight each other or conflicts arise again in the future.

"Zhou Ping, do you need us to help you continue expanding?"

Captain America asked.

With three top foundation-building monks and the strength of the country, it is not difficult to continue expanding.

But Zhou Ping refused, "Not necessary for now."

The Guigu Sect is still in the country, and its next move is still unknown. If the Guigu Sect intervenes and prevents him from ascending the throne, the entire territory will fall, and the national destiny points will backfire. If it continues to expand, the backlash will be even greater.

In addition, he currently has enough national luck points, and apart from his martial arts skills, there is nothing else that needs to be improved urgently.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work during this period. If you have any needs regarding talismans or formations, you can come to me."

Done.

He left the hall and returned to the villa manor built near the mine.

Come to the bedroom.

He opened the virtual box again and clicked on the personal information page.

really.

National Destiny Points have skyrocketed to over 3 million!!

Seeing the series of numbers, Zhou Ping clenched his fists and looked at the bright moon hanging high outside the window. His muscles were trembling, and finally he could no longer control himself and burst into laughter.

3 million National Luck Points! This is simply an astronomical figure.

Even though he had anticipated this, when he actually saw such a huge national fortune point, he still found it difficult to suppress the joy and excitement that surged in his heart.

To know.

The national fortune points gained by territory growth are unstable. Unlike spirit stones, some places gain more national fortune points while others gain fewer. The fact that the territory of South Africa suddenly grew by 300 million was beyond Zhou Ping's expectations.

"Haha, if South Africa alone brings such a huge amount of national destiny points, how many national destiny points would it bring if we occupied the whole of Africa, or even the world?!"

Think of this.

Zhou Ping suddenly felt his ambition expanding rapidly, but he quickly shook his head and suppressed it. Not to mention the extraterrestrial civilizations that were eyeing China from outside the seal of the Earth's formation, the Guiguzi Sect, Jing'an Si, and Shennong Palace alone would not give up on China.

"No rush, we have to take it step by step!"

He took more than a dozen deep breaths before he managed to suppress his agitated emotions.

……

The night sky is bright.

The stars are shining brightly.

But tonight is destined to be restless.

After Zhou Ping announced his ascension to the throne and the information about the Guigu Sect, many groups at home and abroad could no longer sit still. Those at home were afraid of the Guigu Sect, while those abroad wanted to seek cooperation with Zhou Ping. They could not find opportunities before, but now that the other party wanted to occupy the South African area, there was a basis for cooperation.

Jing'an Si headquarters building near Mount Li.

Underground Quiet Room.

A figure in a purple palace dress slowly appeared. It was Lianyue, the abbess of Jing'an Temple. Compared to when Zhou Ping first met her, Lianyue's temperament was even more charming and enchanting at this moment, but her eyes were calm as if she was indifferent to everything.

"Ascending the throne at this time... This little guy is becoming more and more interesting. However, the formation spirit is so protective of him. It seems that this little guy is very outstanding. It's a pity that he was eventually beaten to the throne by Tai Yanzong. And Tai Yanzong, hehe."

Lian Yue shook her head slightly, then looked to the left.

Wow.

A curtain of water appeared out of thin air, and ripples spread out. An old woman with a cane slowly walked out. She was hunched over and looked thin, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.

"What is Grandma Shennong doing here?"

Lian Yue said lightly.

The old woman raised her eyelids, coughed dryly, and said, "You little girl, you don't even address me as senior when you see me. I'm really old and useless. I remember that you were just a young Qi cultivator in the past, but it's only been a short time..."

"okay."

Lian Yue frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

The old woman didn't care. She smiled and said, "That guy Yin Gu was lucky. He actually found a demon bone from an ancient cultivation civilization in a remote place. He has now regained some strength and fought against the formation spirit again. But that guy is very insidious and didn't use his full strength at all. I think his target is probably us."

"Our three major clans have been fighting each other for a long time. This planet is the core of an ancient cultivation civilization. There are many valuable things there, but the pearls will naturally be covered in dust. It will take a lot of effort to find them. So you and I have to join forces temporarily. We can't let that old guy get all the benefits."

Listen to this.

Lian Yue's red lips curled up in disdain, "Grandma Shennong, you didn't come here to join forces, you must want to enter the Afang Palace in Mount Li, huh, let's not talk about these empty things between our three major veins. As for that guy Yin Gu, what's the use of recovering some strength? The formation spirit will keep a close eye on it."

"Also, if you ask me, our primary goal is to break the seal of the Earth Formation as quickly as possible and allow the elders of the sect to descend."

Grandma Shennong smiled and said, "That's right, but I'm afraid that old guy Yin Gu won't agree. I need to ask him."

After saying this, the figure disappeared.

Look at its previous position.

A cold look flashed across Lian Yue's eyes. The three major clans had been fighting each other for many years and they already knew each other very well. The three core members had finally infiltrated, so how could they possibly break the seal of the formation? After all, if the formation was broken in advance, when the elders of the sect arrived, all the good things on this planet would not be theirs. Everyone knew this very well.

"What this old guy said wasn't all nonsense. Yin Bone has always been cunning and insidious. We have to be on guard against it coming to seize our territory..."

Since the three clans infiltrated and gained a foothold, they have each been responsible for a part of the area and have not interfered with each other. But now the balance has been broken. However, both Lian Yue and Shennong Po Po have their own methods.

……

Zhou Ping was unaware of the struggles and dirty deeds among the Guiguzi Sect, the Shennong Palace, and the Jing'an Si Sect. After resting for a night in South Africa, he immediately began to prepare to ascend the throne and become emperor. The first step was to choose an auspicious day based on the astronomical calendars, yin and yang, and the five elements of past dynasties. He did not understand this and could only ask professionals.

The second thing is to prepare the dragon robe, jade seal, crown, etc. needed for the enthronement. Since the virtual frame of national destiny has changed and shows that he has not ascended the throne, he feels that these ritual processes are also very important.

As for the remaining ministers and the like, we can only make do with them for now.

Fortunately, after Captain Wu and Captain Han learned the news of his ascension to the throne, they were not disgusted. Instead, they felt that they were doing the right thing. The more times like this, the more they had to stand up. They were very disgusted with the actions of the Guigu Sect and the three major groups, and they were also worried that the country would be messed up by the Guigu Sect, so they supported Zhou Ping very much and were willing to cooperate with him as ministers.

However, the Taimiao, altar, throne hall and other buildings were difficult to build in a short time due to the tight time schedule. Finally, Zhou Ping decided to find a domestic team to temporarily build them.

Except these things.

He also kept a close eye on changes in the country, especially the three major groups and the Guigu Sect.

Inside the space ship.

Medicine Valley.

Wu Tianming said, "Zhou Ping, a lot of people have contacted us recently. They all want to know if there is any way to destroy the Guigu Sect?"

Captain Han also said, "Yes, I heard that many people in the country who had the right to speak and were unwilling to cooperate with the Guigu Sect and the three major groups have been... Alas, now the three major groups have completely become tools of the Guigu Sect."

“There are also some connections within the three major groups.”

Captain Yuan, Captain Lu and other captains of the special forces with excellent combat capabilities all looked at Zhou Ping. In fact, they also wanted to know if there was any way to get rid of the leader of the Guigu Sect.

"No."

Zhou Ping shook his head and sighed, "The opponent is Ningying. The gap in strength between me and it is too big. If I didn't have some life-saving trump cards, I would have died when Jingdu killed Qin Bing and Lei Jiming!"

Look at these special department captains.

He said slowly, "The reason I want to ascend the throne in South Africa is also to test the Guigu Sect. What their ultimate goal is is very important."

Captain Wu nodded. Seeing the other captains looking frustrated, he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, although the enemy is strong, we are not completely helpless. We still have Zhou Ping. He has reached the late stage of foundation building after only one year of cultivation. As long as he is given enough time to grow, I believe that sooner or later he will be able to defeat and kill the leader of the Guigu Sect."

"So as long as people are still alive, there must be hope!"

Hear this.

The eyes of Captain Han, Captain Yuan and others lit up. Yes, Zhou Ping, they also had Zhou Ping. They all watched Zhou Ping grow up step by step, so they naturally knew his potential.
