I only want to win over the fairy.

Hmm, it feels pretty good to be called "Father Emperor".

Xiao Ningmeng is one of the products of genetic engineering by Xuan Yuanmeng so far. She is the most outstanding of the twelve offspring created using the bloodline genes of Bai Yi and Xiao Jinxuan, and she has been raised by her side since childhood.

She had high expectations for such an outstanding offspring, after all, his attributes were exceptional.

Name: Xiao Ningmeng

Gender: Female

Age: 21

[Personality: Gentle yet resolute]

[Realm Level: Peak of the Qian Yuan Realm]

【忠诚：10】、【魅力：10】、【信仰：10】、【道德：10】【智慧：9】、【野心：1】

He reached the peak of the Qian Yuan Realm at the age of twenty-one, and his talent was almost maxed out. If he is properly nurtured, he will become another great emperor of the Xuanyuan Empire in the future.

This guy's beliefs are too high, while his ambitions are too low.

This gave Xuan Yuanmeng quite a headache. She opened the relationship chart between the two, and their relationship was clear at a glance.

[Xiao Ningmeng → Xuanyuan Meng: Father (Mother), revered as a deity.]

He had been trying to eliminate faith, but the people he had nurtured worshipped him as a god. In a way, this was a tragic and ironic situation.

Although Xuan Yuanmeng had high expectations for Xiao Ningmeng, whom she had nurtured, she did not believe that Xiao Ningmeng could become a qualified emperor. After all, Xiao Ningmeng's personality and attributes destined her to be unable to become an emperor.

Of course, personality can be changed later in life. We can just put her in the army and let Bai Yi train her for a while.

Let's take a look at Bai Yi in the distance first.

In September of the 45th year of the Imperial Calendar, General Bai Yi of the Xuanyuan Dynasty led 5,000 Imperial Army soldiers to launch an attack on overseas cultivators who had appeared along the coast. Before the battle began, Bai Yi held a pre-battle mobilization meeting.

Facing the attention of thousands of soldiers, Bai Yi drew the Emperor's Sword and shouted with fervor:

"Gentlemen, what lies ahead is a brutal war. In battle, you may die; in flight, you may eke out a living, day after day, year after year, until you die of old age. Perhaps you will say in your heart, 'As long as I can live, I don't care about anything else.' But! When what should belong to you! What belongs to your family, your parents, your country, is taken away by your enemy, can you still run away? Can you still eke out a living?"

"Look at the enemy across the sea! They are so weak, so utterly vulnerable! Their living conditions are even worse than those of the pigs we raise, yet these creatures dare to trample on our territory and violate our sovereignty! No citizen of Kyushu can tolerate such humiliation! If they want to invade our homeland, there is only one possibility! That is, the enemy will step over our corpses!"

"Now, you have only one chance: to come with me to the battlefield and tell the enemy that our territory, our homeland, will never be violated by anyone! We will prove with our actions that glory and victory will forever belong to the people of Kyushu!"

"Those who invade our lands will be crushed by us!!!"

The soldiers were in high spirits, and their combat effectiveness increased significantly.

The following day, three thousand soldiers from the Nine Provinces formed a battle formation and launched a major attack on the overseas cultivators who had occupied a large area of ​​coastal territory. The remaining two thousand soldiers, divided into four formations of five hundred each, were responsible for harassment, supplying the front lines, cutting off the rear, and providing long-range magical support.

Faced with the perfectly coordinated battle formation, the overseas cultivators felt extremely distressed. Despite their individual strength far exceeding that of the enemy soldiers, they were unable to easily defeat them. Surrounded by the enemy's battle formation, they could not even unleash 20% of their full power.

Realizing this was a special formation where they outnumbered the enemy, the overseas cultivators immediately decided to first defeat the leader, thus breaking the battle formation itself. "We can't fight alone! Kill their leader first! That guy with the dangerous hairstyle! Kill him first!"

The enemy has decided to kill you first.

Bai Yi: I remembered something happy.

In order to train the soldiers of this army, he deliberately suppressed his strength to the same level as the soldiers in this battle, and did not kill the enemy with one blow. As a result, the enemy got hot-headed and decided to kill him first, right?

Even if the other side could kill him, the emperor, his specially trained army wouldn't collapse just because its leader died.

When the leader dies, the remaining soldiers will automatically elect a new leader to continue the fight until they are no longer able to fight.

Do you really think this is still the past? When the strongest cultivator leading the group was killed by the enemy, his own people scattered and fled as soon as they saw their leader was dead.

Although Bai Yi had only trained this army for two or three years, the soldiers were all selected from the Kyushu Academy, and their strength, willpower, and loyalty were far beyond those of ordinary people.

In particular, the students in this school are almost all raised from a young age and instilled with ideas that are quite out of step with the times.

For example, the student covenant of the academy: As students of Kyushu Academy, we uphold the honorary tenets of obedience to discipline, unity and friendship, positivity and hard work, and refrain from private feuds, and we will not tolerate others violating them; we adhere to the core values ​​of loyalty, responsibility, honor, sacrifice, unity, courage, and self-confidence; we are loyal to our race, the emperor, and the nation; and we aspire to become well-rounded individuals with both literary and martial talents, as well as moral integrity.

It's fortunate that he was raised this way from a young age. If Bai Yi were to say these things to the cultivators of the immortal sects, they would only think he was an idiot.

"I'm here to cultivate immortality, achieve the Great Dao, and become an immortal in the future, not to listen to your grand theories."

The dark, survival-of-the-fittest law of cultivation should have been eliminated long ago!

[At the end of September in the 45th year of the Imperial Calendar, all the overseas cultivators who had illegally landed on the territory of Kyushu were killed. The Kyushu army won a great victory and seized a lot of supplies from overseas, including some overseas maps.]

This battle will make you famous overnight!

[Having been tempered by this battle, the soldiers' morale underwent a significant transformation, with many experiencing a breakthrough as a result, making the army even stronger.]

In October of the 45th year of the Imperial Calendar, Emperor Xuanyuan personally visited the army, praising the soldiers and bestowing upon them the highest honors and rewards. For a time, becoming a warrior of the Xuanyuan Dynasty became the most respected profession.

Well, we don't need to rush to increase the number of people in the short term, so the next step is to focus on the tech tree.

Bai Yi always felt that there was still much room for development in formations, spells, and spiritual senses. For example, thousands of warriors could act as the key points of a formation, working together to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Unfortunately, this operation is too difficult, as communication becomes a major problem when the number of people reaches thousands.

In battle, relying solely on spiritual communication is easily subject to interference, especially in places like the military where high-precision operations are required and ancient methods of sound transmission are still used. Not to mention the consequences of leaking the content of the transmission, even a slight alteration of the transmission during battle can cause serious problems.

I need a good technique or communication method to contact my troops.

In February of the 46th year of the Imperial Calendar, Bai Yi applied to Emperor Xuanyuan to establish a research department for the dynasty—a special department dedicated to researching new cultivation techniques, equipment, and elixirs—and his request was granted.

In March of the 46th year of the Imperial Calendar, under the order of Emperor Xuanyuan, intellectuals from all over the Nine Provinces formed a brand-new research department. They received the Emperor's full support, which granted them access to almost all the books on immortal cultivation from the past. Given this high level of support, everyone involved devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the project.

Since its founding, the Xuanyuan Dynasty has devoted itself to building roads, water conservancy projects, and academies, and has spent a great deal of money on cultivating talent, breeding animals, training the army, and researching immortality, leaving the national treasury nearly depleted.

Why are you suddenly broke?

Xuan Yuanmeng was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, the resources seized when those immortals were wiped out should have been enough for hundreds of years. How could they have been used up so quickly?

It's only been less than fifty years!

Damn it! In just fifty years, a treacherous official has already emerged within the dynasty.

Emperor above, I work so hard and devote myself to the development of the dynasty, and yet you still steal my rice from me. You are so disloyal.

I need to set up a court to kill you heretics.

[This matter is of great importance. You have entrusted Xiao Ningmeng with a secret investigation, hoping to use this opportunity to train her.]

[In November of the 46th year of the Imperial Calendar, after several months of investigation, Xiao Ningmeng discovered that the princes ruling the various states were more or less engaging in fraudulent reporting. Besides exaggerating projects and amounts to embezzle the Emperor's wealth, they also underreported the population, land, and rare resources acquired within their territories to evade taxes. Furthermore, it was discovered that many of their subjects were indulging in extravagant spending, undertaking large-scale construction projects and building spectacular sights within their jurisdictions.]

These cultivators from the past era that you left behind were among the first to submit to the dynasty and the first to accept new ideas. Given their understanding, they couldn't possibly be unaware of what this behavior entailed, yet they still chose to do it, undoubtedly indicating that they were still stuck in the era of the past immortal sects.

Xiao Ningmeng, who presented you with evidence of the crimes committed by these kings and their ministers, looked extremely embarrassed: "Do these cultivators still think they live in the past? Do they think that high cultivation levels and strong strength allow them to do whatever they want? So many years have passed, and their thinking hasn't changed at all!"

[You responded that if they wouldn't change their mindset, then you'd have to change the people. Since they're unwilling to follow you, the emperor, then you'd have to let them go on their own. Otherwise, no matter how many years pass, they'll remain the same.]

You have decided to establish a court to try these disloyal heretics.

Chapter 153 The Vacancy Period of the Throne of Heaven is Finally Coming to an End

Qin Xin was filled with mixed emotions.

The world is changing too fast, so fast that even she is a little confused. After all, the Immortal Era, which has existed for countless epochs, has ended, the Immortal Sects have completely disappeared, and a brand new system has taken their place, which is truly amazing.

However, what surprised her the most was that Xuanyuan Meng was able to seize the power of the Heavenly Dao.

To seize the power of the Heavenly Dao while still human, and yet not be assimilated by it, is truly unexpected. This makes Qin Xin somewhat suspicious of Xuan Yuanmeng's identity.

She speculated that the other party might have a strong connection with the Dao itself, otherwise it would be impossible for them to do such a thing.

It took only about twenty years from his appearance to becoming a Great Emperor, and he even ascended to godhood in one step. It's hard not to think that he had planned everything before it even started, so she had to be wary of him.

Although Qin Xin knew that guarding against Xuan Yuanmeng wouldn't be of much use, the other party was simply too mysterious and too powerful, which would make anyone wary.

The destruction of the immortal sects made her realize that this woman was an extremely dangerous existence. Qin Xin had no objection to the destruction of other immortal sects, but Xuan Yuanmeng destroyed the Eternal Night Sect and the Xuan Tian Sect as well, showing no mercy whatsoever. If they were not still of value, the other party probably intended to destroy them as well.

Thinking about this, she felt she needed to prepare some means to restrain the other party, preferably a trump card that could ban them from the stage.

However, in this simulation, Xuan Yuanmeng had become so powerful that she had grasped the authority of the Heavenly Dao. Her strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Great Emperor. She even suspected that with her strength, she could have destroyed the Ten Forbidden Zones of Life long ago, but she had not chosen to do so for some conspiracy.

She didn't trust Xuanyuan Meng; the only person she could trust was her disciple, Bai Yi.

If Qin Xin had to choose one person to stand at the top of the world, she would definitely choose Bai Yi, rather than someone who jumped out from a crack in the rock, remained mysterious throughout, and then overturned the world once his plan to accumulate strength was complete.

So she tried every means to improve her strength and cultivate her own personal combat force in the simulator in order to fight against Emperor Xuanyuan. However, so far, she has not even broken through to the Great Emperor level, so it is impossible for her to contend with him.

Although she had accumulated wealth, private troops, and equipment that were unimaginable, she still felt that with just these things, there was no future. Against the Xuanyuan Emperor, she could at most survive a few more seconds.

After much deliberation, unable to devise a way to restrain Xuan Yuanmeng, she ultimately chose the most shameless, yet most efficient, method—

A solo kill offline!

"Everything in the simulator is based on reality. Since this simulation can't stop you, we'll have to deal with you in reality first."

At this very moment, Xuanyuan Meng is busy establishing the court of judgment.

Throughout history, no matter how great or wise a monarch was, they always had special execution institutions, especially those for judging heretics and those who could not be easily dealt with. With the existence of these institutions, no one could easily disobey their words, and they could easily deal with those who did not obey their orders and send them to the deepest hell.

Since these princes and ministers still held the old ideas of the immortal sects and were unwilling to follow her lead, she had no choice but to reluctantly send them all to the Avici Hell for a thorough trial.

However, the only thing that bothered her was Qin Xin, who was in charge of Zhongzhou.

The righteous cultivators who remained, though resentful, were generally quite restrained. Only this demonic witch acted with utter recklessness.

If someone is dissatisfied with you in their heart, they will definitely be dissatisfied with you in their actions. If they think you are no good today, they will secretly prepare a plan to get rid of you tonight and start putting it into practice tomorrow.

As an emperor, it's easy for her to judge someone, even someone of high status. But the problem is how to deal with the consequences of judging that person. She's not ready to break ties with Bai Yi yet.

If things completely fall apart, Bai Yi might never cooperate with him again, and the same would be true in reality. They might even become enemies, which would undoubtedly be extremely painful for him.

In particular, the reason why everything he did in the simulator was able to be completed was that Bai Yi was in a metamorphosis and slumber at the time, and had no time to use the Human Emperor Sword to deal with the human race's fortune. He was even unaware that he had borrowed the White Emperor Sword for a period of time. If the two of them became enemies, then his plan to use the springboard to quickly regain the power of the Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.

And all my preparations so far will be completely useless.

This ultimate bomb, which could have been used to clear out a forbidden zone of life and grant the user the origins of over a dozen supreme beings from those zones, as well as the power of heaven and earth, was detonated by Bai Yi, and its shell was taken away...

Hmm... I took it to be my mom.

If he were to fall out with Bai Yi again, resulting in the loss of the human race's fortune, it would be difficult for him to use this as a springboard to become a Great Emperor. His plan to cleanse the immortal sects and reclaim enough power from heaven and earth would be even more impossible, not to mention that he could later use the White Emperor Sword to make a Heavenly Dao oath, and through the oath and the connection with the White Emperor Sword, deepen his connection with the Heavenly Dao itself and strip away most of his power at once.

But Qin Xin is plotting a rebellion every day. He says one thing to your government and another behind your back. He also embezzles taxes and defrauds you of your property. You can't ignore it.

So, we should try to dismantle the other party's power and let them go back to retire peacefully.

After all, he couldn't very well cause Qin Xin to suddenly die by creating an accident; even a fool could see that something was wrong.

I should never have given this guy power. Who knew he never intended to walk the right path from the beginning? He was corrupt and degenerate from the start.
