I'm a magnetic field madman

"I really don't know how the history books will record me? Why don't you, Elder Yan, dictate it to me right here?"
Yang Guang looked at Yan Zhitui with amusement, and seeing this old man, who had always been at odds with him, crying so pitifully made him particularly happy...
"Pooh!"
The only response Yang Guang received was a weak spit, which Yang Guang didn't care about... because the helpless look of the person he hated, who was unable to do anything about him, made him feel very happy, even extremely excited!
"Let's change the subject then, Mr. Yan. How do you think history books will record my era?" Yang Guang asked, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Whether it's me or that brat Kou Zhong, it will be interesting to see who wins in the end. As you see, Elder Yan, what is the Central Plains like? What will it look like after we rule it?"
Yan Zhitui breathed weakly, having witnessed the world's wonders along the way. Yang Guang's army did not massacre the surrounding people, not out of pity, but because those "people" brought Yang Guang great joy.
Those commoners under the rule of the Heavenly Kingdom, those people incited by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, are plundering those aristocratic families and wealthy merchants everywhere, without needing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's orders...
They spontaneously began to plunder those who had once stood on their heads, in accordance with the "national policy" implemented by their rulers and the Heavenly King.
They even dared to challenge some martial arts sects because their kings and commanders had warned them.
These things are nothing to be afraid of; what belongs to these people is rightfully theirs.
Yang Guang greatly admired this group of people, which is why he refrained from taking any action in Hebei. He believed that the survival of these commoners was something the powerful clans feared.
Isn't that obvious?
Why should we, in times of chaos, be so starving that we resort to cannibalism...?
You self-proclaimed noble families can live in luxury and waste food in large quantities.
Why should we toil our whole lives as slaves, while you are born into nobility and enjoy beautiful wives and concubines?
That's unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable! Since that's the case, we'll just rob you of your food!
We'll eat your flesh! We'll take your wives and concubines! We'll rape your children!
Yang Guang really liked this group of wolf-like people. If all his subjects had been like this before, he might not have been so extreme.
Oh no, he couldn't lie to himself. If it were his former self, he would have been just one of the most ruthless exploiters and abusers of these commoners.
"You will not succeed... Heaven's justice will prevail, and one day, everything will return to normal..."
"Heaven's justice is clear? Hahahaha!" Yang Guang laughed wildly, Yan Zhitui's words sounding like the funniest joke to him!
"What is the principle of Heaven? Is it the power of aristocratic families? Or the supremacy of imperial power? Or is it the 'words of the sage' spoken of by Confucius?"
"You'll never understand! The truth of this world isn't these fancy but useless things! The ultimate truth in this world is power!"
"But no matter what, you ignorant aristocratic families and those scholars who spout classical phrases will never have another chance to rise in society."
Yang Guang chuckled, for perhaps this was the thing that made him happiest.
The first consequence of the spread of magnetic field power is the demise of "civilization".
The social structure established by the majority and so-called bloodline power will be torn apart by the nature of the supremacy of power. The era that follows will be one where anyone can gain power and overthrow everything!
Yan Zhitui's eyes were dull and lifeless, filled with despair. He knew that Yang Guang was right; the future era would never again offer a space for scholars like them, or for those powerful clans who relied on bloodlines, to survive.
A terrifying era is coming, when rites and music will collapse and culture will scatter. Everyone in the world will become like a demon, until they utterly destroy themselves.
"If I win, I will slaughter the entire world! If Kou Zhong wins, you will all be wiped out! As for the Li clan..."
Yang Guang suddenly revealed an unusually mocking smile, like a mischievous child watching a prank about to succeed...
“Mr. Yan, believe me, my cousin, who is about the same age as me, will only make you feel like you are in hell.”
"Because my nephew is just like me, and he may have obtained a power even more terrifying than mine."
……
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall...
The fighting outside Chang'an could not be hidden from the nobles and gentry who were crowded here... The adults and fierce generals who were once high and mighty in front of the common people were now trembling and silent like quails.
Li Yuan's face turned deathly pale, because he knew that he, the emperor, was now just a figurehead.
Because when he was so close to death, the only thing he could do was pray?
Even if you hold great power, what good is it?
When you need others' approval even for the simple desire to survive, what kind of supreme being are you?
Li Jiancheng was also trembling. He had thought his position as crown prince was secure, but now he suddenly realized...
Even the future imperial power could not save him for even a second longer from the hands of those monsters.
Of all the people, only Li Shimin remained calm and composed, staring blankly at the sky without uttering a word.
"King Qin, what exactly are you looking at?"
Changsun Wuji, who was standing nearby, had been staring at his brother-in-law and lord. Seeing that he remained expressionless, Changsun Wuji seemed to realize something and asked in a low voice...
"It's nothing, just watching the final moments of our Great Tang Dynasty's demise," Li Shimin said calmly.
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was still quite jarring in the quiet and spacious Hanyuan Hall.
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to him, and Li Yuan, his brows furrowed, roared at his second son, unable to contain himself any longer…
"Li Shimin! At this moment when everyone is united in purpose, what were you saying?!"
"Father...is the truth really that harsh?" Li Shimin withdrew his gaze, looking at his father with a playful smile...
"I don't know what humiliating conditions you offered, Father, to make that Martial Venerable Bi Xuan willing to come and deal with Kou Zhong... But now it seems that you made a mistake. Bi Xuan has already lost."
"Now, Ning Daoqi has failed, while Bai Wujie is still alive and well, and his two disciples are unharmed. So, should you expect Yang Guang to come and perish together with them?"
Li Shimin's gaze was mocking, and his tone was as if he were detached. Looking at his unfamiliar second son, Li Yuan was stunned. Looking into those emotionless, serpentine eyes, he seemed to wake up and shrieked...
"You, you're not Shimin!! Who are you? Guards, seize him!!"
Li Yuan's voice echoed throughout the Hanyuan Hall, seemingly spreading and reverberating infinitely.
However, there was no answer, no one in sight. Only Li Shimin dusted himself off, his voice carrying a detached, mocking laugh…
“There’s no need to wait any longer, my respected father. I originally intended to wait until I dominated the world of Tang Dynasty and destroyed the three sects of Buddhism, Demonism and Taoism before jumping out... But I never expected that this world would be so beyond saving.”
"So be it. I would be satisfied if I could live a second life. Now, none of you are of any use to Shimin anymore, Father, Elder Brother, and everyone here."
"Then let it become food for Shimin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin's handsome and upright face suddenly revealed an extremely evil and ferocious smile, and the next moment, a ferocious weapon suddenly appeared in his hand!
Shaped like amber, with a handle like black bone, it was as if a twisted spine had been embedded in dark yellow amber!
And this is undoubtedly an extremely vicious divine weapon. Its former master was Chi You, and its former opponent was the Yellow Emperor. This divine weapon is a deadly weapon that is incredibly close to, or even surpasses, a demonic weapon!
Its name is—
"Tiger Soul!"
With Li Shimin's roar, the raised Tiger Soul suddenly burst forth with an incomparably dazzling golden light... and within the light, countless ferocious tiger shadows flew out!
Screams and wails echoed throughout the Hanyuan Hall, and almost no time had passed... But when the light faded, the Hanyuan Hall was empty except for Li Shimin, with only the golden tiger-shaped mark on his forehead emitting a faint golden light!
Despite having consumed all his relatives and friends, Li Shimin's gaze remained completely unmoved.
Only that unchanging greed, and that demonic ferocity!
He knew he couldn't hide any longer; his opponents were already waiting for him. And all he needed to do was eliminate them, and Li Shimin could dominate the entire world!
But such things are not so easy!
Li Shimin also hoped to use the strength of Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, Fu Cailin and Song Que to deal with these enemies, or at least to wear them down.
But now it seems that relying on oneself is worse than relying on anyone else; they're just a bunch of good-for-nothings, a bunch of good-for-nothings!
In an instant, he flew out of Hanyuan Palace like a ferocious, roaring tiger, soaring through the sky!
As he descended into the air and landed before the White Boundless Realm, accompanied by a dazzling emerald light from the west, as if tearing the sky apart, Yang Guang had already arrived!
They stood on opposite sides, looking around at each other, and at the same time, they all burst into the same laughter...
"Hehehehehahaha!!"

P.S. (Because of the 500-character limit in Photoshop, I'm only including part of it here.)
Regarding Li Shimin, I originally intended him to be a key figure like Yang Guang...
A character who holds a tiger's soul but tries to save the world from a normal person's perspective, only to be beaten up by a madman, and finally chooses to go mad when all else fails.
But I gave up on that idea later. Firstly, due to space limitations, writing about the two dragons like that would leave them with very little screen time. Secondly, I dislike Huang Yi's portrayal of Li Shimin.
Especially after rewatching The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, the portrayal of Li Shimin was simply...
First of all, let me state that I am neither a fan of Emperor Yang of Sui nor a critic of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
Of all the ancient emperors, Li Er is one of my top favorites, but Li Er from The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not on that list.
Because Li Er in The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is a completely nonsensical character!
He was recommended by the Buddhist community at birth, and his deeds from childhood to adulthood have been praised and publicized by the Buddhist community.
As the novel progresses, in the first half, the world is conquered either by Li Xiuning, by taking advantage of the Twin Dragons' misfortunes, or by Shi Feixuan's assistance.
Who took the Dongming Sect's account books? The Twin Dragons took them.
So how did he gain control of the world? He was given it by the Twin Dragons.
How did Xuanwu Gate come to be? It was the work of the two dragons.
They even fed him and helped him kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, taking the blame for his biggest stain.
After everything was over, Li Shimin, who then jumped out to reap the benefits, put on a damn heartbroken and helpless saintly act...
If the story were adapted into a TV drama, it would be even more outrageous. In order to rightfully seize the throne that rightfully belonged to him from Li Yuan, he even killed the two dragons who were willing to die, all while wearing a saintly expression.
Is this still the same Li Erfeng?
Let's put it this way: whether in the original novel or the TV series, Kou Zhong wouldn't even need to lift a finger to deal with Li Shimin...
He watched as Li Jiancheng, in alliance with the Demonic Sect, killed Li Shimin and his generals from the Tian Ce Mansion after the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He then proceeded north under the pretext of avenging his friends.
At that time, Kou Zhong's young marshal's army, Song Que's 70,000 elite troops, and Du Fuwei's 300,000 troops were all in the Li clan. What a joke they were back then.
Even if Chang'an had over 100,000 troops and the ability to massacre Li Mi and incorporate Wagang, they could still manage a 50/50 split. But compared to the reserves of top experts, the Li clan was a complete mess.
Apart from experts like You Chuhong, the Dugu Clan is basically just for show, and even the young lady there is with Kou Zhong.
The Yuwen clan was long gone. After Li Jiancheng took power, Buddhism might be sidelined and turn to Kou Zhong.
At that time, the Li clan had nothing but a group of so-called demonic masters. In addition, the Li clan itself was a family with very few martial arts masters, so their chances of winning against Kou Zhong were pitifully small.
Oh right, we haven't even included Tuli Khan of the Turks. He was even Kou Zhong's good brother. If we include the Li clan, even if they wanted to open the gates and betray the country, they wouldn't be able to... If you opened the gates to the Turks, they might have turned around and attacked Chang'an immediately.
Then Mr. Huang Yi realized this wouldn't work; without giving Li Shimin a cheat code, he couldn't possibly win...
Then, in his previous description, he transferred many things that Li Shimin actually did in history to the Double Dragon Head, showing that Li Shimin didn't actually show any real ability except for others bragging.
So, in order to create a historical cheat code, they simply had the socialite Shi Feixuan persuade him with reason and emotion, and then Xu Ziling played the brotherhood card to seduce him.
It's all over. Kou Zhong abandoned the world and his brothers...
He not only surrendered to Li Shimin, but also took over the blame for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing Li Shimin's two brothers and thus removing all stains from Emperor Taizong's record.
He didn't even dare to take action himself during the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He relied on his "brothers" to give him the throne. And you're telling me this thing is Emperor Taizong of Tang?
Let's put it this way: you can change Li Shimin's name in the original novel to any other name, and you'll find that it has absolutely no impact on the plot.
I really don't understand whether Mr. Huang Yi liked Li Shimin or hated him intensely.
Perhaps the only thing Li Shimin truly respected about the original historical figures was that he treated the two dragons as brothers while simultaneously ruthlessly killing them...
And yet Shi Feixuan could still shamelessly claim that Li Shimin was the only pure stream in the filthy Li clan...
Yes, she is indeed the only pure soul. All her mistakes have become rumors. How could she not be a white lotus?
46. Three-part world
"This! Your Highness, King Qin! This, what exactly is this—"
Even Ning Daoqi was utterly shocked by the sudden scene before him. He looked at Li Shimin, whose appearance had changed drastically, and then at the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand. An extremely terrifying thought rose in his mind.
When Yuan Tiangang told him about the results of his star observation, he mentioned that there were two fallen stars, one from the Three Jade Star and the other from the Purple Star.
He had initially thought Yang Guang had obtained the ominous object that represented the fallen Three Jade Star, but now it seemed...
