In the east of the Aurora Continent, the originally rounded coastline concave a deep huge bay, like a big-bellied man's fat belly being punched into it. The bay resembles a crescent moon and is unusual, making it suspicious that this is a miracle beyond the power of nature. In the legend of the Aurora people, tens of thousands of years ago, there was a terrifying natural disaster in which the stars fell to the ground and the living beings were wiped out. This bay was taken as evidence and was named the Sea of Falling Stars.

A number of rivers originating from the middle of the continent flow from west to east, flowing thousands of miles, and enter the sea here, and Zhongjing is built on the vast plain where the rivers are criss-crossed. It is nominally a city, but in fact it is a super urban agglomeration composed of four cities in the southeast, northwest and three ports along the coast, a total of seven cities.

Three or four hundred miles away from the bay, a large area of lofty mountains suddenly rises in the plain, and the four cities of Zhongjing are surrounded by it. The highest part of the mountain reaches into the sky, like a giant pillar of optimus. This mountain is the secular pivot of the Aurora Continent, and the Aurora people call it the Ancestral Mountain. The heavenly temple that worships the heavens is here, and the spiritual seat of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty is also here, and the palace of the Ming Dynasty can only squat at the southern foot of the mountain aggrievedly. The Palace of Endless Ending is majestic and magnificent, compared with the ancestral mountain, it is just a drop of dew hanging on the edge of the lotus leaf.

The ancestral mountain is guarded by the temple guard, not to mention the officials, the royal family is not qualified to enter. And the Heavenly Temple, the highest part of the Ancestral Mountain, was only opened when the new emperor ascended the throne. The imperial tradition of the Ming Dynasty is that only by holding Tai'a and sitting firmly in Sheji can it be regarded as being recognized by God and obtaining the position of the Son of Heaven. Whether this tradition is just a ritual or has a practical use, as it is rumored, is not clear to the general public. You must know that the first emperor ascended the throne at the age of fifteen and reigned for eighty-two years, and there are not many people who have lived longer than him.

Today is the day when the first emperor returns to the spirit and the new emperor ascends the throne, and the clan officials finally have the opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the ancestral mountain and get a glimpse of the true face of the heavenly temple. But at this time, the Heavenly Temple fell into an invisible stormy wave, and the clan officials gathered thousands of people, some of them shouted loudly, some cried in a low voice, and about a third of them simply fainted, and the gorgeous and vast hall was like a death row prison leading to the execution ground.

"Shut up ——!"

The tall and bright black-haired girl stood under His Majesty Dan, and her voice that should have been as crisp and melodious as a yellow warbler turned into a female tiger roar because of extreme anger.

This voice carried the literal fierce wind and thunder, which shook everyone's clothes and hunting, and the body swayed, and the entire hall was instantly so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"How so?"

The girl's gaze turned to the throne above the ninth-layer Dan Majesty, which was the seat of Sheji. The rice ear is the bottom, the cloud cluster is the back, and the handrail is a five-clawed golden dragon with a jewel in its mouth, which goes up from the right hand around the back, and then bows down to the left hand.

On the throne sat a man, dressed in a dark dragon robe, wearing twelve crowns, his left hand pressed on the dragon's head with a jewel in his mouth, and his right hand held a sword upside down. It was a long sword with a simple shape, and the blade of the sword was inserted diagonally into the dragon's tail, only a small half of it was inserted. Looking at the posture of this person raising his arms and turning sideways, it seems that he has froze after drawing his sword and pulling it halfway.

"Brother ...... Emperor"

Seeing through the curtain that she was no longer alive, the black-haired girl's red lips trembled slightly, like the pupils of Shenhong Qiutan rippling fiercely.

This is the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has been the prince for 50 years and finally ascended the throne today, but at this time he has become a cold corpse.

"It's not a title he deserves, miss," said a woman in white behind the black-haired girl, "He didn't become emperor." ”

The black-haired girl blinked and stabilized her mind, turned her head to look at the clan officials in the hall, and scolded anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Zu Xun said this kind of thing, if the father can't do it, the son-in-law will go to the son-in-law, and the son-in-law will not be on the son-in-law! In short, there must be the Zhu family's bloodline holding Tai'a and sitting firmly in the Sheji, who should be?"

There was an uproar in the hall, and several middle-aged young men dressed as princes kept retreating, and some fell to the ground, using their hands and feet together, dragging long wet marks on the ground.

"No one here is qualified, except ......"

On the other side of Dan Majesty stood a tall bald giant who suspected to be a god, and his voice roared like thunder. The black-haired girl was taller than an ordinary man, but only as tall as the giant's chest.

The officials below made a noise and interrupted the giant's words.

"You can temporarily vacate the throne, and when the kings have the heart and strength, they can choose the virtuous and stand again!"

"Zu Xun also said that time has changed, my Daming Sheji has been as stable as a holy mountain, and the clan officials are enough to take care of state affairs, so why rush to establish a king?"

"How can the ministers want to see the throne vacant, the problem is that no one can sit on it now!"

"The TV station is still broadcasting, and the matter of the throne can be discussed in the long run, and you have to deal with the TV station first!"

There was a loud bang, and the hall trembled slightly, but it was the long axe in the giant's hand that paused.

"The society must not be left without an owner, and Taia must not be left empty. The giant stopped the discussion of the crowd like a fly, "If the candidate is gone, you can only decide by yourself according to the order of the Holy Mountain, but there are still candidates." ”

He bowed to the black-haired girl, "Your Highness Princess, you are also qualified. “

The girl was stunned: "Me?"

The pupils of her eyes were overflowing, and she nodded suddenly, "Yes, I forgot that I am also the blood of the Zhu family." ”

The woman in white behind her sighed deeply, "Miss, you have to think about it......"

The ministers of the clan looked at each other, and changes followed, and no one spoke for a while.

The girl spread her hands and sighed, "I don't want to either, but when things come to this point, what else can be done?"

The bald giant man picked up the corpse on the throne, and a team of tall Xuanyi men who were only half a head shorter than him took it. The crown falls diagonally, and the curtain parted, revealing a yellow-brown skull. The skull's mouth was wide open and its jaw was distorted, as if it was suffering unspeakable pain before it died.

The girl stepped onto Dan Majesty, sat down casually as if she had entered a tavern, held the dragon's head with one hand and the hilt of the sword with the other, and inserted it back into the dragon's tail.

There was a faint earthquake between heaven and earth, as if some kind of power scattered in the world gathered on the throne and pulled up majestic waves. It's just that the aftermath of this wave swept through the heart, and it also made people's souls scattered, and no one stood in the hall under His Majesty Dan.

The orb and the sword lit up at the same time, shining like a statue of a black-haired girl carved from white jade. When she opened her lips to speak, the idol came to life and became an earthly deity.

"That's it?"

The girl looked confused, "It's very easy, Brother Huang...... What's going on with the eldest brother, how can he not bear it?"

"Maybe he thought he would never sit on the throne of Sheji," the woman in white judged indifferently, "Even the dark elf demon with the demon seed dares to raise him as a concubine, and he never thought of sitting here." ”

The waves dissipated, the heavens and the earth were stable, and the ministers woke up like a dream, and finally had the strength to speak out.

"This is against the ancestral teachings! The ancestral teachings never said that the throne could be given to women!"

"Chicken Si Chen, how do you make it!?"

"Don't leave the princess, get up quickly! The throne is not a dresser!"

"How can the Son of Heaven be a woman? No, never!"

"Daming would rather have no monarch for a hundred years than a heroine for a day!"

The voices of opposition and even shouts were as noisy as a boiling pot, the girl's face sank, and the already heroic willow eyebrows gradually raised.

"You ...... Even the threat of the return of chaos is thrown aside, just to oppose me as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and to oppose the emergence of an empress of the Ming Dynasty?"

The girl leaned over and looked at the ministers, like a falcon overlooking ants, and her tone was so cold that everyone shuddered.

At this point, these people remembered something, something that should not have been forgotten.

Zhu Moli, the youngest daughter of the old emperor, is a sage from the Holy Mountain, and the sage is an inhuman person who destroys the country alone.

"Originally, I just wanted to help you carry it, and if you have the right candidate, let it out, the emperor or something, I'm not rare!"

The girl sneered, her eyes scanned everyone like lightning, "Now I have changed my mind, this empress, I should be decided!"

"Long live my emperor!"

There was another loud bang, and the bald giant fell to his knees and shouted.

The rumbling sound was incessant, and the people in the hall looked around in horror, thinking that the entire hall was about to collapse.

Then they were dumbfounded, and their eyes were straight.

There were originally two rows of samurai sculptures on the left and right sides of the throne, each one of them was one and a half tall, all dressed in dark heavy armor, holding halberds, ge, spears, axes, hammers and other long soldiers, and on their chests were tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and other beast heads. The beast's mouth was wide open and its fangs were erected, as if it had chosen a person to devour. The necks above the beast's head were empty, and they were all headless warriors.

It's these samurai sculptures that actually moved!

"Long live my emperor! long live ——!"

They knelt down and chanted in unison.

The stormy cry shook the hall, and the clan officials seemed to be swept into the Nine Heavens, and their bodies, minds, and even souls were being struck by thunder and lightning.

In a trance, I heard the girl say again: "What about you? Who is in favor of and who is against!?"
