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

Chapter 67 The Human Emperor!

Zhao Si was stunned. Why was he going to abdicate again?!

"Is Emperor Jun addicted to abdicating power?!"

After a brief grumble, Zhao Si didn't make a hasty decision. After all, he had been tricked and killed by Di Jun's abdication in the previous simulation. Unless he was a stubborn fool, he would definitely learn from his mistake and be more cautious.

There's a 98% chance that this seemingly auspicious abdication is actually a trap!

"Di Jun never makes meaningless political decisions; there must be something seriously wrong with him to do so."

Zhao Si raised an eyebrow:

"The last time the abdication was made, it was because the sin of slaughtering humans was too great, so Di Jun specifically asked me to take the blame."

"He's here again. Could it be that he's planning to slaughter people again?"

impossible!

"Di Jun can't use his divine eye to see directly. He can only use two pieces of evidence to judge the identity of humans, but Jin Bing ruined both of those indicators. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have thought that there was something wrong with the humans for no reason."

Zhao Si was completely baffled, wondering where he had slipped up.

Under Jin Bing's deliberate suppression, the extreme supremacist ideology of the human race is not yet apparent. Instead, the human race now yearns for equality. Compared to the human race, the dragon race members on Shouyang Mountain are more like extreme supremacists!

As for the claim that the gathering of disciples of the sages exposed the situation, Jin Bing had already kicked the Jie and Chan sects away countless times. Each time, at most two disciples of the sages were on business trips to Shouyang Mountain, and the people on these trips were not only humans, but more often demons who were enjoying the help of the disciples of the sages.

Even with all this caution, you think Di Jun could still tell? That means he's at least partially...

"So, it's not because the humans were exposed, but for some other reason."

What could be the reason that would make Di Jun willingly abdicate the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?

Zhao Si didn't waste time analyzing things himself. After playing this simulation game a lot, he was already familiar with the basic routine. When he encountered something he couldn't figure out, he would go back and look through the historical messages. He would definitely find clues to the answer.

After carefully examining the historical messages, Zhao Si's gaze finally settled on the content of the conversation between Di Jun and the Six Sages:

"Game theory? Riddler?"

Is Di Jun playing a game of strategy with the Six Sages?

Thinking about it from this perspective, Zhao Si suddenly realized:

"I understand! Di Jun's abdication wasn't aimed at the human race or Jin Bing at all, but rather... a counterattack against the Six Sages!"

Looking back at the several erroneous side quests in the second simulation, there was an instance where, after Jin Bing was expelled from the human race by Guang Chengzi and the others, he slandered the disciples of the sage to Di Jun, saying that they were treacherous and plotted rebellion.

The final result was that Emperor Jun was furious. He not only arrested Guang Chengzi and the others and brought them to the Heavenly Court, beheading some and crippling others, but also almost destroyed the two great saintly sects, Jie and Chan.

It even caused a major incident, leading to Di Jun gathering all the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world to besiege Kunlun Mountain in the name of the orthodox lineage of the Dao Ancestor. The Three Pure Ones dared not retaliate and were forced to split up...

At the time, the reason I analyzed afterward was not that Kim Byung's slander had a decisive role, but rather that it was the result of the power struggle between Di Jun and the Sage!

"There are two main reasons why Di Jun was able to become the Heavenly Emperor: one is the appointment by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and the other is the high level of cultivation of himself and his subordinates."

"The first factor determined that he could become the Heavenly Emperor, and the second determined that this Heavenly Emperor would have real power..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Si looked again at the words of abdication spoken by Di Jun and the Six Sages, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"The power of the primordial world comes from powerful cultivation! This statement is not only applicable to Jin Bing, but also applies to Di Jun. When the Six Sages are far stronger than the Heavenly Court's maximum combat power, they will inevitably shake the Heavenly Court's power."

"Even if the Six Sages acted unintentionally, this is still something Emperor Jun cannot tolerate..."

Thinking about it this way, Di Jun's perplexing behavior makes perfect sense:

In this life, Jin Bing did not slander him, so Di Jun's vigilance was not enough to make him gather the immortals to besiege Kunlun Mountain as he had done before.

However, this time Kim Byung has an additional identity:

Taiqing's chief disciple, the senior disciple of the Xuanmen!

This identity is essentially equivalent to being a spokesperson for a saint.

What did Jin Bing do in this life while holding this identity?

"Seizing power..."

At this point, the matter is completely clear:

When Nuwa first created humans, Jin Bing became Taiqing's disciple. He then led the human race to pursue equality and development, and his career grew stronger day by day.

Then, without hesitation, they rapidly expanded their territory, first taking a corner of the Eastern Wilderness, and implemented various poverty alleviation and literacy programs for the demon race, winning the hearts of countless people.

They then seized all the former territory of the East Sea Dragon Clan, and crucially, they did so under the banner of Huanglong Zhenren!

Who is Huanglong? Son of the First Emperor, disciple of Yuqing!

If we were to maliciously speculate about the Huanglong incident from Dijun's perspective, it would probably be something like this:

Yuqing had long harbored a scheme to seize power, which is why he took the youngest son of the Ancestral Dragon, who was known as a good-for-nothing, as his disciple. On the surface, he was a disciple, but in reality, he was the one who claimed the right to the Dragon Clan's legitimacy.

Jin Bing's expansion efforts resulted in:

Taiqing sent out his only disciple, along with Nuwa's creations, and armed with the dragon clan's claim to power given to him by Yuqing, to unite and shake up the Heavenly Court's regime!

If I were Di Jun, I would think the same way...

Faced with a slow coup d'état launched by at least three saints, Di Jun was probably at a loss. The key was Jin Bing, the saint's representative... there really was nothing wrong with him!

Be loyal, loyal beyond words!

It requires competence and effective governance!

Win the hearts of the people; all people will admire your virtue!

Be virtuous and have a clear conscience, both in public and in private!

He was practically a perfect person, which made it impossible for Di Jun to use the "overthrow of the Heavenly Court" to convict Jin Bing, and he also lacked a suitable pretext to besiege Kunlun Mountain and launch a heavy attack...

Therefore, Emperor Jun decided to test the Six Sages by offering his abdication.

The Six Saints were no fools; they understood the unspoken meaning and knew that Di Jun was testing them. So... they decisively confirmed his guess!

Liu Sheng: Yes, that's right, that's exactly what we were thinking when we sent Jin Bing. (meaningful)

That's why Di Jun seemed relieved on the spot after the six saints nodded in unison... Well, it turns out it wasn't three, but six who conspired to mess with me!

Then I'll still do market trading...

That's why the game system describes them as a group of "riddlers".

"The most enigmatic episode ever..."

Having finally figured out the plot, Zhao Si couldn't help but complain:

In truth, Jin Bing was an anomaly, and his various actions were even more unexpected. The Six Saints never even considered betting on him in the first place.

But Di Jun's malicious speculation was not without reason, because Jin Bing's combo had indeed confused him, and misjudgment was almost inevitable.

Moreover, the fact that the Six Sages didn't bet at the beginning doesn't mean they didn't bet later. At least after Jin Bing accepted Duobao and then used Huanglong's name to attack the East Sea, the three brothers Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, as well as Nuwa, really bet!

What? You mean Jieyin and Zhunti?

These two are AFK; they just do whatever their teammates do. And these two monks who are using cryptic language are the most enigmatic of all—you have absolutely no idea what they're thinking…

"So, I should choose A?"

Zhao Si looked at the two options with some hesitation:

Option B is naturally safer. By observing the situation quietly at Shouyang Mountain and consolidating one's abilities, one can still succeed to the throne in the future, although it will be a little later.

Option A seems perfectly reasonable in my analysis, and there's no hidden pitfall...

Zhao Si gritted her teeth:

"Damn it! I need to get an A first! I really want to improve!"

I failed once before because of blindly indulging, so I must learn from this lesson this time. Perhaps the correct way to play this simulation game is to go to extremes!

[You chose option A. Your Majesty, please forgive me, I'm too eager to improve. Let's start the process now!]

[You knelt down without hesitation: Emperor, let's proceed with the formalities!]

【it is good! 】

[Upon receiving your affirmative answer, Di Jun gave a "I knew it" look, but a faint smile lingered in his eyes...]

You keenly realize you may have unintentionally stepped on a landmine, and you regret it, but since the words are already out, you have no choice but to grit your teeth and continue.

[In the 368th year of the Demon Calendar, the 10th cycle and 12th period, the Heavenly Emperor publicly appointed you as Crown Prince and bestowed upon you various honorary titles.]

[Jin Bing, the Great Chieftain of the Human Race, is specially promoted to the rank of "Human Emperor," granted the privilege of traveling in the Heavenly Emperor's Golden Chariot, and a "Human Emperor Palace" will be built for him on Shouyang Mountain!]

[The next period of fortune brings the addition of a "crown"!]

[Once again, and with the addition of the "Emperor's Robe"!]

[On this occasion, you have been granted permission to participate in military and political affairs. The Demon Master's administration must first consult with you. You are not required to bow when entering the court, nor are you allowed to use your name in praise or worship...]

The abdication process proceeded step by step, and it seemed that the once unattainable throne of the Heavenly Emperor was now within reach... However, would it really be that smooth?
