Chapter 160: Becoming the Emperor
Lin Chen and the two have spent a whole month since they eloped, during this time, the two can be described as newlyweds, like glue, the emotions between the two continue to sublimate, and even for a period of time, Lin Chen has a kind of idea of giving up the pursuit and sinking into the gentle township. After all, Chen Moyan is still a god, and between the love of her children, she always supervises Lin Chen's cultivation process. Under Chen Moyan's supervision, Lin Chen's overall strength has improved by leaps and bounds, not only has his cultivation entered the middle stage of the rebirth realm, but even the sword path taught by the sword god has also made leaps and bounds. This made him have to admire Chen Moyan's comprehension, not only erudition, but also at the same time to comprehend kendo, but also Lin Chen's first guidance, and in the end, he could become Chen Moyan in the lead.
Therefore, on the way of the sword, Chen Moyan's realm at this time far surpassed Lin Chen, which also made this confident big boy's heart have great pressure.
The two of them set off from Yuncheng, crossed the small road, then crossed the high mountains and hills, crossed the streams and rivers, talked and laughed, and had already walked out of the void domain and came to the scope of the room domain. Originally, Chen Moyan proposed to go to the Human Emperor Domain to observe the most prosperous area of the human realm, but Lin Chen vetoed it. In this experience, Lin Chen also understood the meaning of the Human Emperor Domain to him, he would definitely go to the Human Emperor Domain, but it was not at this time, he needed to find the Dao Idiot first, or rather, first get the complete volume of Sumeru, and after having a certain strength, when he went to the Human Emperor Domain, at that time, he would face something that he could not imagine.
The chamber domain is located in the north-northwest of the human realm, and there is only a large river of dozens of feet away from the void domain, and the big river is not ferried, and if you want to cross the river, you can only drive a boat by yourself, or rely on strong strength to cross it. Lin Chen originally planned to buy a boat, but Chen Moyan also vetoed him, and once again "humiliated" Lin Chen: he hugged Lin Chen's waist and crossed the river dozens of feet with cultivation alone!
While Lin Chen was shocked, he was also stunned. After all, he is a man, and he is also the husband of this tough woman, and his husband is not as good as a wife, which also inspires Lin Chen to practice harder on the other hand.
Compared with the Void Domain, the mountains of the Chambers are towering and unattainable, but there are more dense caves, and the way people here live is also completely different from the Void Domain, because there are more caves, so they mostly live in the caves, although it is the survival mode of the ancient race, but those inhabited caves are more like palaces, which have been built by the people here for generations to be luxurious and splendid. Compared with the clustering of the downtown area, there is a sense of pastoral seclusion and detachment from the red dust.
The people who live here are not only a continuation of the ancient race, but also a traditional tradition. Although Lin Chen and his wife are outsiders, they are still treated warmly by the people here.
Muryu Ducheng, an ancient and barren city, the people here are completely around the mountain, built around the mountain, said to be a city, more appropriately, Ducheng itself is a high mountain, the highest peak of the mountain is faintly visible a high tower, the tower body is mottled, the upper body of the tower is deep in the clouds, no need to ask, this is the Babel Tower in Du City. Regarding the Tower of Babel, Lin Chen asked many people, even when he was in the Chen family, he also consulted the older generation of the Chen family, but the final explanation is still: the ancient existence, the ancient tower was built, and in the ancient time, I don't know what ancient things happened. It seems that all the records about the Tower of Babel in the history books have disappeared, or there is no record in the history books, or that the ancient existence who built the Tower of Babel did not require the historians to write this matter on the bamboo silk.
All in all, the Tower of Babel is like a landmark building for every city on earth.
"This tower was moved from the old site by the city lord thousands of years ago, he said that this is indispensable for our human realm, without this tower, not only the human world, but the entire Three Realms will fall into disaster."
Just as Lin Chen looked up at the Tower of Babel and pondered, a rickety old man appeared beside Lin Chen on crutches. Lin Chen and Chen Moyan stayed in a wealthy family. In other words, this is what is commonly referred to as a family. The area where the family lived alone was as many as several mountains, and the high walls that represented this range were the layers of walls. This family is surnamed Chen, but it is not the same as Chen Moyan, just an ordinary rich man, the family has been in business for generations, and has stood in Ducheng for thousands of years. And this old man is the head of the Chen family in Ducheng, named Chen Shu.
Although Chen Shu was old, he had friends all over the world when he was young, and he broke the Chen family's long-standing business style of abiding by stereotypes, and used novel means to run the Chen family to the peak, and even the Chen family, which was not a family of cultivators, became one of the three major families in Ducheng.
Lin Chen, who heard Chen Shu's words, was moved, thinking that Chen Shu had traveled all over the world when he was young, and he was well-informed, maybe he knew something about the Tower of Babel, so he reached out and helped Chen Shu on a recliner in the courtyard, and then squatted beside the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”
Chen Shufu chuckled lightly and said: "Because my Chen family has been building a family in Ducheng for a long time, the previous heads of the family have gone out to run business, so I know more about some old rumors, and I also heard my father say when I was young that Ducheng was not in this place before, but because of a disaster, so it was moved here." It all started with the battle for the emperor more than a thousand years ago......"
The old man did not speak fast or slow, but he was depressed and frustrated, which was just right for those who listened to the story.
More than 1,120 years ago, it was still the period of the Fuyuan Divine Dynasty, but because in this year, the current Tianyuan Divine Emperor besieged the palace and seized the emperor, so it is now recorded in the history books as the last year of the Fuyuan Divine Dynasty.
The 30,000 years of the Fuyuan Divine Calendar is the 30,000th year of the Fuyuan Divine Emperor**, according to the convention, every 10,000 years, it is necessary to celebrate it vigorously to pray for the next 10,000 years of wind and rain. Originally, the celebration was being prepared in an orderly manner, but the day before the celebration began, a major event happened in the Jade Emperor Heavenly Emperor's Que, the Emperor Heavenly God King, who had been low-key and had no sense of existence, actually became an emperor, and what was even more terrifying was that after this Emperor Heavenly God King became an emperor, he actually teamed up with all the god kings to force the palace Fuyuan God Emperor to take the throne!
The Fuyuan Divine Emperor was a late bloomer, and when he established the Fuyuan Divine Dynasty, he was already in his old age, and he had been in his twilight years for 30,000 years in the Three Realms, and he had exhausted his spirit and spirit, and he was already in his twilight years at this time. Although the Emperor Heavenly God King is a new God Emperor, he is young after all, but he is bold and reckless, and the God Kings who are attached to him are in high positions, and this forced palace almost made the Fuyuan God Emperor angry to death. But when he was about to convene his subordinates to expel the Emperor Heavenly God King, he found that his cronies were not around for some reason, and even Gu Yuan Tianzun, who had already returned, was not in the God Realm.
At this time, he realized that this forced palace to seize the emperor was something that had been planned for a long time, but it was a pity that he had not discovered such a rebellious behavior in his 30,000 years as a god emperor.
It stands to reason that the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the Fu Yuan God Emperor is old, but the cultivation is still there, plus the exercises practiced by the Fu Yuan God Emperor, it will not weaken much because of age, but when the God Emperor personally killed Di Tian, a rebellious thief, there was a reversal. Emperor Tian, who had just stepped into the Emperor Realm, was overwhelming against an old Emperor Realm like Fu Yuan God Emperor, and even directly usurped Fu Yuan God Emperor and sat on the throne himself!
After this incident came out, it caused an uproar in the Three Realms, and it is still an unsolved mystery to this day, only some of the strong people who were originally loyal to the Fuyuan Divine Dynasty thought of a reason to comfort themselves: Emperor Tian had already become an emperor, but he had been holding back, and he did not show his fangs until the end of the Divine Emperor's age.
This is a view that is not recognized by others, but this statement has continued to the present, because the amount of forbearance of the Emperor Tianshen King was terrifying, and he overthrew the Fuyuan God Dynasty that had stood for 30,000 years in one fell swoop, so he called it a hero.
What was supposed to be a celebration turned into a bloody slaughter, the entire god realm was full of blood, corpses were everywhere, and all the existences that disobeyed the emperor and the god king were slaughtered.
Emperor Tian sat on the throne of God, and on the same day called himself the Emperor of Tianyuan God, taken from: Tianyuan Hui, all gods Qingyue, singing Man Tingfang (pS: excerpted from Wang's "Man Tingfang Gift to the Monk"). Change the next year to the first year of Tianyuan.
But after all, the Fuyuan God Emperor ruled the Three Realms for 30,000 years, and there were countless loyal ministers under his command. And the disaster in Ducheng happened in this war. The battle for the emperor kicked off, and the Tianyuan Divine Emperor deserved to be called the existence of the hero, 30,000 years of forbearance, 30,000 years of operation, and once it broke out. Not only did many bigwigs in the divine realm rebel, but even many princes in the human realm were also co-opted by it, but after all, the Fuyuan Divine Emperor was orthodox for 30,000 years, so there were not a few loyal people under his command. Therefore, the coverage of this imperial battle is the largest since the Daoming Dynasty. The princes of the human world, even the old department of the Fuyuan God Emperor, were disintegrated by it, and they fought for themselves. The lord of the earth realm, the emperor of the earth, saw the needle and secretly funded the princes of all parties in the human world. Set off an unprecedented war of secession. The Three Realms recorded in the annals of history as the era of the princes.
The three thousand domains of the human world were directly divided into thousands of forces, and the Tianyuan Divine Emperor, who was the initiator, did not rush to immediately send troops to quell the rebellion in the human realm after slaughtering the old forces in the divine realm. After separating the former ministers of the Fuyuan God Emperor, he actually quieted down and became an outsider watching from the wall. What he wants is for all the forces in the human world to consume each other, and he wants to be the biggest yellow finch.
The war in the human world* broke out, sweeping the entire land of the human world in an instant, and Du Cheng can be described as the tip of the iceberg of the battle for the emperor, or a clear example. The city lord of Ducheng during this period was a typical pro-Yuan faction. After the start of the secession war, the princes of all sides set off the banner of uprising, and most of the gimmicks established by righteousness were the orthodox seizure of the two god emperors, so they were divided into pro-Fu faction and pro-Yuan faction.
The city lord of Du Cheng was originally a mediocre person, and it was only because of his old age and prestige that he was promoted to the city lord unusually, but not only did he not think about his old kindness. When the Tian Yuan Divine Emperor threw down the olive branch, he threw himself at the Tian Yuan Fang without thinking about it. And the Tianyuan Divine Emperor is also very atmospheric, the original area of Du Cheng is only a hundred miles, it can only be regarded as a small city, when Du Cheng took refuge in him, he directly divided the thousands of miles of barren mountains outside Du Cheng into the scope of Du City. This hand can be described as a white wolf with empty gloves.
The chamber domain can be traced back to the beginning of Hongmeng, it was originally a huge mountain, and later the Heavenly Holy Ancestor established the Three Realms, and then there was gradually a flat land, and there was also Du Cheng. The thousands of miles of barren mountains outside Du City are still in a state of recklessness and undeveloped to this day, so it is enough to know that this place is desolate. And the Tianyuan Divine Emperor divided these barren mountains to Du Cheng, firstly, to satisfy the ambition of this mediocre city lord, and secondly, to hand over the task of reclamation of barren mountains to Du Cheng. He doesn't have to pay anything, but he gets a loyal subordinate and a prosperous area that is likely to be reclaimed, why wouldn't the Tianyuan God Emperor do it?
Du Cheng is named after the surname of the city lord's family, and it has been passed down to this moment, and it has gone through dozens of generations, and the most glorious time is when Shamen was prevalent, when the city lord of Du Cheng became a devout disciple of the Shamen Great Sect, and Du Cheng was also able to develop. To this generation of city lords, it has already declined, the city lord's name is Du Gan, Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, the name Du Gan is to be with the sky, but he is far from living up to this name.
After becoming a pro-Yuan faction, Du Gan led Du Cheng to participate in the battle for the emperor, but he ignored the insignificance of Du Cheng compared to other cities, and the poor commander of his stupid city lord. The Ducheng area is close to the city of the Void Domain, and there is only a large river in the middle. At this time, the Void Domain is a typical pro-Fu faction, not to mention that the cities of the Void Domain are united, the Void Domain is adjacent to the Human Emperor Domain, and the adjacent area is the Tian family, one of the five major families of the Imperial Domain, the Tian family has an ancient history, extraordinary heritage, and can also be ranked in the front among the five major families, and coincidentally, the Tian family is also a pro-Fu faction that supports the Fuyuan God Emperor. With the support of the Tian family and the unity of the Void Domain, one can imagine how effective the cities of the Void Domain are. And in order to show loyalty to the Tianyuan Divine Emperor and improve his status in the heart of the Tianyuan Divine Emperor, Du Gan actually attacked the city.
In fact, at this time, because the division of the princes of all parties had just begun, the struggle between the parties was only a small friction, and the real battle for the emperor had not begun, and Du Gan's hand had completely become the fuse of the battle for the emperor.
As a result, Du Cheng became the target of public criticism.
The city was attacked by surprise, and although there was not much loss, it allowed the majesty of the Void to be violated. At the suggestion of the Tian family, the Void Domain carried out a plan to slaughter Du Cheng.
That day was a nightmare for the people of Du Cheng, and in just half an hour, when the forces of the Void Domain crossed the river to the case, Du Cheng was destroyed and destroyed. And the other cities in the chamber domain still have the forces of the Tian Yuan God Emperor, and no one has come to the rescue. It wasn't until the moment of death that Du Gan realized how wrong he was.
Du Cheng was slaughtered, and the Du family was naturally wiped out, but fortunately, the forces of the Void Domain did not attack mortals, which allowed Du Cheng to continue. It's just because of Du Gan's wrong command that the battle for the emperor broke out in advance, even if everyone knew that even if there was no Du Cheng, there would be other fire cities and earth cities to ignite this war, but this pot, Du Cheng obviously broke out.
For this reason, after the end of the battle for the emperor, the Tianyuan Divine Dynasty abandoned Du Cheng, and the cities of the Chambers crowded out Du Cheng, which delayed the development of Du Cheng for decades until the city lord appeared.
This city lord's surname is Du, but it is not the Du family of Du, it is rumored that this Du city lord is from the outer regions, one says that it is the human emperor domain, and the other is the Western Kui domain, but there is no way to investigate the truth. He has no name, just a single surname Du, some people say that this city lord was originally nameless and surnameless, but because he came to Du City, he gave himself the word Du. In short, no matter what, this Du City Lord saved Du City.
In the one hundred and twenty-third year of Tianyuan, Du came to Du City, and at this time, Du City was still in ruins, with few residents in the city, not even a city lord, let alone a great cultivator. Du was at a loss for this, and only after asking the only remaining residents of the city did he know all this. But Du did not despise Du Cheng like the previous practitioners, or avoided it in fear, but directly climbed the dilapidated Babel Tower, and in the confusion of the residents, he walked out of the Babel Tower two days later, gathered the remaining residents, and announced that he was the lord of Du Cheng from now on, and then led the people to abandon the abandoned city, and build a new city in the barren mountains for thousands of miles, and did it himself, which is the current Du City. Later, he directly transferred the Tower of Babel to its current location by means of Tongtian, and even the Tianyuan God Emperor admired Du's actions, and named him the Marquis of Zuowei, in order to make a difference.
After several generations of development, Du Cheng gradually became its current scale.
After listening to Chen Shu, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, admired this city lord in his heart, and turned his head down and asked, "Old man, is this Du City Lord still alive?" ”
It was a simple inquiry, but he didn't expect Chen Shuheng to look at him angrily, and reprimanded: "You little baby, how dare you be disrespectful to the city lord!" ”
Lin Chen was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and said wrongly: "The kid's words are abrupt, and I hope that the old man will be surprised, but after listening to the story of the old man, I also admire it, right?" ”
Chen Shu's face softened at this time, and he brushed his beard and said: "The city lord's merit is supreme, his cultivation is to reach the sky, he is already longevity and Tianqi, and he is naturally still alive, but in recent years, he has not seen the figure of the city lord." ”
Lin Chen squatted down again and said with a little flattery: "I don't know the old man, can you have a recommendation?" ”
Chen Shu looked at Lin Chen's delicate face with a smile, nodded his fingers, and said: "In this case, the old man will give up his face to introduce you, but when you see the city lord, you must pay attention to the wording, the majesty of the city lord is inviolable!" ”
Lin Chen hurriedly nodded yes, and then summoned Chen Moyan over, Chen Shu prepared the carriage and horses, and headed towards the main city with him.
The main city is not too far from Chen's house, but it is difficult to find a rugged mountain road, and it takes many bends to gradually see a vast plain, and in the center of the plain is the high mountain where the Tower of Babel stands.
Lin Chen lifted the curtains of the car, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, the Chen family has a lot of status in the city, why did you move your family to the mountains?" ”
Chen Shu smiled and said: "It's not that I moved my family to the mountain, there is still a Chen family's business in the city, it's just because the old man is old and likes to be quiet, and his children are tired of the hustle and bustle when they see it, so they built me such a village on the mountain for me to support the elderly, and their young people still live in the downtown area." ”
Lin Chen nodded and smiled, and continued to look out the window. After hundreds of years of operation, Du Cheng at this time has completely surpassed Du Cheng during the control of the Du family, all kinds of prosperous splendor, no less than some large cities, but maybe because the foundation of Du Cheng is barren mountains, the road is winding, so not famous.
The carriage passed through the streets, Lin Chen also saw the hustle and bustle of Ducheng, and unconsciously, the carriage stopped, Lin Chen and Chen Moyan got out of the car, and supported Chen Shu, looking up, they had come to the Tower of Babel.
The top of the hill where the Tower of Babel stands is not short, it is the highest except for the undeveloped mountain on the periphery, but the road to the top is not steep. Originally, Lin Chen took into account Chen Shu's age and let him not have to go up the mountain, but he really couldn't resist the old man's temperament, so he walked up the mountain step by step.
