Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 66 Another Abdication

"Seriously? You really want to seize power by appealing to the will of the people?"

Jin Bing's idea was particularly unrealistic, which Zhao Si found very incomprehensible:

"The Heavenly Emperor's power comes from his cultivation level. Although popular support and prestige are very important in reality, if Di Jun wanted to get rid of him, wouldn't it be as simple as a slap?"

A mere True Immortal dares to try and seize the power of a Quasi-Saint...

It can only be said that Jin Bing was too idealistic.

"but……"

After pondering for a while, Zhao Si realized with dismay that, apart from pinning his hopes on unrealistic fantasies, he really couldn't think of a better way to break the deadlock.

"After all, from the very beginning, this game is an asymmetrical gameplay where the strength of the enemy and ourselves is extremely unequal. All positive progress in the story can only be achieved through careful planning, not by stubbornly rushing in."

If Zhao Si were to rely solely on brute force, he would likely be stuck on the first simulation due to the vast difference in skill level.

What is your team's configuration?

Born into a second-rate dragon clan, he didn't even deserve a name. His parents cut ties with him, and his brothers and sisters were all useless.

After much effort, Weisuo became the Great Chieftain of the Human Race and a disciple of the Taiqing Sage. He had a group of loyal humans with unlimited potential in his hands. At first glance, he seemed very powerful, but in reality, he had almost no cultivation and Taiqing could cut him off at any time.

The human race has enormous potential, but the time for development is too short. At least within a few dozen eons, they won't be able to produce high-level combat power like the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Their potential cannot be converted into strength in time, making them practically useless...

What is the enemy's configuration?

The vast and ancient world is filled with billions of demons, with a long history and profound heritage. From the primordial era to the present, no one can say for sure how many hundreds or thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals there are among the demon race, or even wild Quasi-Saints.

There are also a group of high-ranking quasi-saints in the Heavenly Court, who are not lacking in innate spiritual treasures and innate supreme treasures. There is also Di Jun, who is like Schrödinger. Who knows why he became a saint?

The two sides are clearly not on the same level.

The fact that Zhao Si can still play this asymmetrical game shows that, in addition to his various micro-managements of Jin Bing, Jin Bing himself also needs a lot of luck.

Even unrealistic fantasies are something we still have to hope for; otherwise, why would he bother with a market...?

"I understand the logic, but will Dijun continue to tolerate being ousted from power?"

Jin Bing didn't know, and Zhao Si couldn't say for sure either, after all, it was Xue Dingge's Di Jun.

……

[Among the immortals of Zhou Tian, ​​all the prominent figures were invited to the Thirty-Third Heaven to attend the birthday celebration of the Ten Golden Crows, which was a great honor for Emperor Jun.]

[Emperor Jun warmly received the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace. After some laughter and conversation, he ordered the banquet to begin.]

[Fine fruits and delicacies, fine wines and delicious food, singing girls and dancing girls—everything you could want!]

Thus, both host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely...

After the banquet ended, Emperor Jun bid farewell to the immortals. However, at the very end, he announced an important matter to them: "I have ruled the world for a long time, and lately I have begun to feel the weight of power. I can't help but yearn for the carefree life of a sage. It is time to relinquish this throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

The immortals were stunned...

Before the immortals could react, Di Jun continued: "Back then, the Dao Ancestor appointed me to be the Heavenly Emperor. Being of limited wisdom and skill, I originally wanted to ask him to find someone more capable, but since the Dao Ancestor appointed me, I dared not refuse, and thus I became the Heavenly Emperor."

Now, with the strong support of all the wise and virtuous, I have eradicated the corrupt feudal clique that plagued the living beings of the ancient land. I have done right by my teachers and the people, and my achievements are complete. Naturally, I dare not linger on the throne.

Furthermore, six more sages have emerged, whose cultivation and political skills surpass mine by a hundredfold. Both logically and morally, it is only right that these six sages be invited to succeed to the throne!

"I have already made up my mind. In the future, the primordial world will be divided into six regions, with each sage ruling one region. Surely, the world will be at peace, and all people will benefit from virtue... As for me, I'll pack my belongings and head to the Valley of Tang in the East Sea to enjoy a warm bed with my wife and children..."

[Di Jun spoke with great emotion, seemingly filled with anticipation for his future retirement life in Tanggu.]

[And just as everyone was stunned, a sudden realization struck you: yet another new development!]

[In your past life, you never heard of the Heavenly Emperor abdicating in favor of the Six Sages. Clearly, this is yet another butterfly effect caused by your influence...]

Faced with the Heavenly Emperor's sudden, seemingly irrational, abdication speech, the six sages frowned, realizing the matter was not so simple, and subsequently chose to politely decline.

Amidst everyone's bewildered gazes, Di Jun, seemingly disappointed at being politely declined, sighed. He then reluctantly pointed to someone, indicating that since the Sages were unwilling to accept the Heavenly Throne, they would settle for second best and let their most prized disciple from the Xuanmen sect take the position.

This person is you...

You were stunned; you never expected Dijun to bring up someone completely unrelated like yourself.

What's it to you?!

Could it be...?

You couldn't help but glance subtly at Guang Chengzi and Huanglong Zhenren, who were equally bewildered. Could it be that their actions among the humans had attracted Dijun's attention, leading to the exposure of the human race?

The thought of this terrifying possibility fills you with turmoil... No! Impossible!

[In your panic, you carefully recalled the actions of the Jie Chan disciples towards the humans... but it all made perfect sense. What's wrong with fellow disciples sporadically helping their senior brother with Paru? How could you possibly suspect the humans based on that?]

[Besides, my current power extends far beyond just the human race. Across the vast territory spanning the Eastern Sea and Eastern Wilderness, the human population is far smaller than that of other demon races. When governing the people, I don't discriminate based on race. There's absolutely no reason to link this to the human race!]

[Is Di Jun cheating?]

You're having a brainstorming session...

While you were brainstorming, the Six Sages responded to the Heavenly Emperor's decision.

Taiqing thought for a moment, then, as if struck by a sudden realization, nodded and said, "Good!"

Nuwa thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Excellent!"

[Yuqing and Shangqing seemed to have their own considerations, and after a little thought, they agreed.]

[As for Jieyin, he felt that being in the Heavenly Capital had nothing to do with him, a mere otaku, so he might as well do his senior brother a favor. Zhunti, however, had a sudden inspiration, smiled, and nodded along with Jieyin: "Alright!"]

The six saints all agreed.

[Di Jun immediately laughed...]

A group of riddle enthusiasts.

【…】

In short, you have no right to refuse this decision, because Di Jun didn't consult you at all; he only asked the Six Sages. You are merely a pawn in their power struggle.

And so, without even realizing it, you found yourself with the identity of "successor to the Heavenly Emperor."

The other immortals had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Sages. They realized something was amiss the moment the Heavenly Emperor made his announcement, and then they all stood by, watching with great interest as they waited to see what would happen.

When everything had settled down, the Heavenly Emperor finally smiled and began to solicit your opinion, not whether you would agree or not, but when you would ascend the throne...

When asked about the Heavenly Emperor's abdication, what would you choose?

[A: Your Majesty, please forgive me, I'm too eager to advance! Perhaps we should begin the process now! B: To be on the safe side, I'll go home, tend to my fields, and observe the situation carefully before making any decisions.]

Another unexpected abdication was presented to Zhao Si.
