Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Jun Ningxia had always understood that the court's chronic problems were deeply rooted, and most of the civil and military officials were corrupt. The Great Qi was completely different from the beautiful country he had imagined in his youth.

But it was precisely because Jun Ningxia understood this that she realized just how difficult it was for Daqi to maintain the status quo.

The Great Qi Dynasty was truly vast, encompassing 208 states, spanning 120,000 li from north to south and 180,000 li from east to west.

Even if we only look at the household registration, at least 800 million people live on this vast land.

If we really want to calculate the actual number, Jun Ningxia has no doubt that the number in the entire Daqi is at least 30% higher, or even more.

After all, no one knows how many people those feudal lords have hidden, nor how much power is lurking in the deep mountains and forests.

The larger the entity, the more difficult it is to govern.

The core area of ​​the Great Qi Dynasty's rule ultimately consisted of only about a hundred large prefectures centered around Qi'an City.

In these large states, powerful forces such as Four Symbols Mountain, Lingshan Temple, and Qishan Road also occupy, restricting the Great Qi Dynasty in many ways.

No matter how hard Jun Ningxia tries or how much she wants to change things, she can only sigh in vain in the face of such a terrible situation.

Maintaining the current stability is the result of Jun Ningxia's tireless efforts and constant worries over the past thirty years.

Countless wolves and tigers lurk throughout the land of Daqi, waiting for the court to show signs of decline before pouncing and tearing off a piece of flesh.

Tonight, these terrestrial deities dealt a heavy blow to the Great Qi Dynasty with the most cruel methods, perpetrating a horrific massacre in the Great Qi capital.

Jun Ningxia could easily imagine the chaos that would ensue after tonight.

The golden dragon of destiny, struggling amidst mountains and rivers, finally exhausted its strength under the siege from multiple sides.

A mountain formed from chess pieces pressed down on the golden dragon, and above the mountain, a golden alms bowl hovered in the void.

The sealing method belonging to Lingshan Temple firmly fixed the golden dragon of fortune at the foot of the mountain, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not cause the slightest ripple.

Jun Ningxia sat calmly in the imperial carriage, watching the old chess master and the Arhat Juefa come to him.

"Young man, are you the emperor of the Great Qi?"

The old chess master glanced at Jun Ningxia and, seeing that his aura was rather weak, immediately questioned him.

Juefa Luohan remained silent, his gaze shifting back and forth between Jun Ningxia in the carriage and the sealed-off golden dragon of fortune.

"Too weak, abnormally weak... Given the size of the Great Qi, if it were truly a golden dragon protecting the nation, formed from the accumulated fortune of a country, it would be impossible for it to be suppressed so easily."

As Juefa Luohan analyzed the situation, he stopped the old chess master from making a move, revealing a kind and benevolent smile. He intended to use this to disturb Jun Ningxia's concentration.

"Your Majesty, we have no ill intentions. We are here today only to uphold the righteous path and stop the evil cult..."

However, we are weak and powerless. If we want to fight against those powerful demons, we can only borrow the fortune of the Great Qi to unleash great supernatural powers, and then return it after we have used it.

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to cooperate and tell us where the true destiny of the Great Qi Dynasty is hidden, we will escort Your Majesty back to the palace and will not allow those evil villains to harm a single hair on Your Majesty's head."

Looking at the impromptu performance of the Arhat Juefa, Jun Ningxia snorted inwardly, having no intention of continuing the pretense with these two.

"So, this Arhat is here to protect me?"

Juefa Arhat nodded slightly, and the Buddha light behind him intensified, as if he were truly a virtuous and eminent monk who only wanted to save the emperor.

Jun Ningxia sneered and immediately pointed at the old chess master beside her, shouting sternly.

"In that case, I, as the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, hereby issue this decree, requesting that the Arhats annihilate this traitor who attacked me!"

"How dare you be so insolent, you mere mortal! Just because you've put on a mask, you think you can stand on equal footing with us?"

The old chess master glared angrily at Jun Ningxia, his fierce gaze fixed on him. Two colors swirled in his hand, as if he were ready to extract Jun Ningxia's soul and forcibly read his memories at any moment.

Juefa Luohan's expression also changed, and his voice became colder and sterner.

"Your Majesty, please don't be ungrateful. I'm sparing your life out of kindness, so please don't make a mistake."

Your Majesty is a wise man, and you must have already guessed a lot about what happened tonight. Compared to Your Majesty's two ancestors, at least we have no intention of taking Your Majesty's life.

If Your Majesty is willing to relinquish your personal fortune, and then tell us the true location of the Great Qi's fortune.

We will go and seize it ourselves, and we can also get rid of those troubles that have plagued Your Majesty for many years.

After tonight, the Great Qi will still be the Great Qi, and His Majesty will still be the supreme emperor, the most powerful man in the land, enjoying all the power in the world…”

"Heh...heh...hahaha...hahahahahaha!"

Jun Ningxia suddenly laughed. At first, it was just a cold laugh, but the sound grew louder and louder until it became a loud, hearty laugh.

As he laughed, he flicked his sleeve, straightened up, and his wide dragon robe billowed high. Beneath his playful voice lay an unprecedented determination.

"Is the Great Qi still the Great Qi? Am I still the supreme emperor? Am I still the most powerful and undisputed ruler?"

Monk! I ask you this: When did it become your place, a traitor from Lingshan Temple, to decide the future of my great Qi Dynasty?

Who gave you this power? And who gave you the audacity to be so presumptuous in front of me?

I am the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and my eight hundred million subjects call me the Son of Heaven! They call me Your Majesty!

Behind me stand eight hundred million subjects, gazing up at my back.

Bearing this in mind, I will certainly defend the glory of the Great Qi Dynasty and safeguard the future of all its people!

His tone suddenly rose, then became impassioned and urgent.

"I am the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty for a day, and I will be the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty for life. No one has the right to question me!"

"You desire the great fortune of Qi, I will grant it to you, but let's see if you have the ability to withstand the backlash from these 800 million common people!"

As the last word fell, Jun Ningxia suddenly reached out and pierced his own chest.

"Are you crazy?"

Under the astonished gazes of the old chess master and the Arhat Juefa.

A rapidly beating golden heart was taken from the chest and began to beat vigorously in Jun Ningxia's hands.

The Imperial Seal flew from his waist and struck his beating heart, staining it with golden blood.

The powerful sound echoed between heaven and earth.

"My sovereign is Ningxia, the Great Emperor of Qi."

Today, with my blood, I proclaim to Heaven above and to the earth below, and declare to all people that I hereby make three vows to Heaven.

The mighty Qi will never compromise with any treacherous villains! Anyone who wreaks havoc on the world and slaughters the common people is an enemy of the Great Qi!

All members of my sovereign's family who become emperors shall be entrusted with the mandate of Heaven to protect all living beings. Those who disobey this will be abandoned by the fate of the nation and condemned by all under Heaven!

When the nation is in peril, an emperor must defend the realm to the death, preferring to die a glorious death rather than live a life of dishonor!

"Today, I offer my imperial blood as a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, and with the fortune of all living beings, I condense the nation's destiny into a supreme treasure, to defend my land and protect my people!"

A resounding voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and suddenly a hazy, silvery-white giant eye appeared in the sky.

As the giant eye slowly opened, an indescribable pressure stretched across the heavens and earth, eternal and awe-inspiring.

A hundred miles away, the Great Qi fortune that Jun Cheng'an had seized broke free from his grasp and transformed into a giant golden sword, turning the world golden.

Mountains and rivers, ancient cities and towns, countless people... golden patterns slowly emerged on the sword.
