Deposed? I couldn't be happier! I wouldn't even be a dog to the crown prince.

The instant the valve was pulled down.

The shadowless lamp in the underground laboratory flickered once and then went out.

Instead, blood-red emergency lights, representing the highest level of energy access, have been installed.

The blinding red light followed the line and quickly illuminated the Taiji Hall above.

The entire Daming Palace looked as if it were soaked in blood.

Wu Meiniang's hand was still tightly gripping the cold valve lever.

Because of excessive force, the knuckles turned bluish-white.

Blood seeped from the cut on the back of his hand caused by broken glass, dripping down the metal lever.

On the main control screen, rows of dark red warning pop-ups appeared frantically.

[WARNING! Unauthorized operation without the highest authority from Tian Shu!]

[WARNING! The main power grid in Gangnam Province is offline!]

[WARNING! The power supply network for residential areas in Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road is completely disrupted!]

These are the three most prosperous provinces in the Tang Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of factories stopped operating, hundreds of millions of civilian helmets went black, and the streets fell into dead silence.

A massive amount of physical electrical energy was abruptly cut off from civilian output channels.

It transformed into a massive, suffocating electromagnetic torrent.

Following the underground superconducting main optical cable, it surged wildly towards Chang'an.

At this moment, Wu Zetian displayed the extraordinary courage and determination of a female chief steward of the Tang Dynasty.

She didn't wait for Li Chengqian's approval, nor did she care whether she would be sent to a military court afterward.

Saving the million people in Chang'an was the only thought in her mind right now.

"Inject all!"

Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth, squeezing out the words through her clenched teeth.

"Pour all the electricity from these three provinces into the storm surge shield of the Daming Palace!"

boom--

Outside the Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin was looking up at the fallen black Tower of Babel.

Sudden.

Above the Daming Palace, there was that azure ion wave shield that had been bitten to pieces by the dragon.

After consuming the terrifying electrical energy of three provinces, it shone brightly again like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

But this time, it was no longer the hemispherical shield used to enclose the palace.

The massive energy allowed the breakwater shield to transcend its original physical form.

"Change formation!" Wu Meiniang roared from the ground.

The azure light curtain in mid-air twisted and stretched wildly.

Expanding outwards in the opposite direction.

Amidst the deafening electromagnetic tremors, the light curtain appeared below the stratosphere.

It was forcibly transformed into a giant blue hand thousands of feet long, composed of pure high-pressure ions.

The giant hand has its five fingers spread out, with the palm facing upwards.

He charged headlong into the collapsing 30,000-ton carbon nanotube giant pillar.

boom!

The moment the giant ion hand made contact with the Tower of Babel.

A ring of white sonic boom clouds, visible to the naked eye, exploded at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The violent energy collision tore the stratospheric clouds to shreds.

"It's blocked?!"

Cheng Yaojin, standing on the steps of the Taiji Hall, stared wide-eyed, dropping the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from his mouth to the ground.

On the streets of Chang'an, even the desperate people who were waiting to die stopped in their tracks.

They looked at the giant blue hand holding up the black tower in the sky and burst into cheers of relief at having escaped death.

But Wu Zetian felt no relief whatsoever in the underground laboratory.

"Well……"

She let out a muffled groan.

The physical gravity resulting from the combination of 30,000 tons of heavy metal falling from a great height is truly terrifying.

The energy feedback from the wave shield directly impacts the main control panel.

The internal components of the control panel could not withstand this level of overload.

They started exploding one after another.

The laboratory was filled with a pungent, burnt smell.

A spark of electricity shot out from the gap in the panel and splashed onto Wu Zetian's face.

Several red blisters appeared after the burn.

She didn't dodge.

He pressed down hard on the red lever that had begun to bounce upwards with both hands.

The skin on my palms was chafed raw, and blood and sweat mingled together.

"Hold on... Hold on!"

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Wu Zetian's mouth.

This reverse energy shock damaged her internal organs.

Her eyes were fixed on the load-bearing parameters on the screen.

midair.

That azure ion giant hand, though it supported the Jianmu tree.

However, the tower's tilt angle has not been restored.

Gravity continues to press down.

Click!Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the sky.

Several deep cracks were pressed into the palm of the giant ion hand by the giant carbon nanotube pillars.

These cracks spread rapidly in all directions, like a spider web.

The originally blinding blue light began to flicker intermittently.

The wave shield is about to collapse.

"Not enough...not enough energy!"

Wu Meiniang looked at the cracks in despair.

The electricity generated by the three provinces still falls short of the pure physical force of gravity in nature.

At this critical moment.

A loud crash echoed from deep within the Daming Palace.

That was the sound of a heavy, solid copper door being kicked open.

Li Shimin did not stand in front of the Taiji Hall waiting to die.

The old emperor somehow ended up in the inner palace.

He was holding the broken Tian Ce sword in his hand.

With one kick, he opened the door to the Tang Dynasty's national treasury, a vault that required triple biometric verification.
