READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 667
667 Shen lang enters the Yan capital! Father and son reuniting?
Shen lang was speechless when he saw this.
He wanted to conquer the North and take back the eastern Empire, the xilun Empire, and the entire world.
However, what could he take back?
Jiang Li stayed in the North Pole and didn’t come down. He didn’t even claim to be the Emperor. The Emperor of the world was still Shen lang.
Shen lang had not appeared in the past few decades. Furthermore, according to the official records of the Empire, Shen lang was at the North Pole and did not go south.
This was the first time that the entire Tiannan province saw Shen lang.
Of course, the ancient humans of the Jiangli Empire knew that Shen lang was Emperor Jiang Li’s biggest enemy, or even his only enemy.
However, to most ordinary people, including the officials of the governor’s office, the Warriors of the black water unit, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the countless citizens of the southern Heaven city, they only had one feeling when they saw Shen lang.
The Emperor of the Empire had arrived.
For the past few decades, Shen lang had always been the Supreme Emperor of the Empire in their hearts. His Majesty had never appeared before, but now he had descended in Tiannan province.
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor.”
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!”
At first, tens of thousands of people cheered, then hundreds of thousands, and then millions.
All the soldiers landed on the ground and knelt down. All the civilians and slaves outside put down their work and knelt on the ground.
In the beginning, the cheers were just to follow, and they were not too hot-blooded.
But gradually, everyone’s blood began to heat up, and everyone’s eyes were filled with fanaticism, respect, and worship.
It wasn’t just the Army, the civilians, and even the countless slaves.
By right, slaves should hate Shen lang. The Empire made them Atoners and made them live like animals. However, they didn’t. These slaves ‘gazes were originally dead, but now they actually had warmth and became enthusiastic.
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!”
Millions of people were shouting, and all the bells in the southern Heaven city rang without being struck.
At this moment, Shen lang could feel the feelings of countless civilians and slaves toward the Jiangli Empire.
These slaves received less than pigs or dogs, but Qianqian and the others actually understood Jiang Li. They seemed to agree with this sense of duty.
Saving the world. All the existing oppression and all the unfair order were to save the world.
Of course, no one knew that Jiang Li would eventually sacrifice hundreds of millions of lives. The only thing he wanted to save was the hundreds of thousands of ancient new human beings. The rest of them were just energy sources and cannon fodder.
In the minds of countless people, no matter how dark the Empire was, they had no choice.
Furthermore, in their hearts, Shen lang was the Emperor of this Empire. The reason why his Majesty is treating us like this is because he has no other choice.
In that instant, Shen Lang’s emotions were extremely complicated. How was he going to continue his Northern Expedition and take back the entire Empire? Everyone was loyal to him, so how could he continue the Northern Expedition?
Wherever he went, everyone knelt down and cheered. In everyone’s eyes, Shen lang was the Emperor of the Empire. The entire Empire was his. How could he take it back?
Of course, all the ancient new humans saw Shen Lang as their enemy. They played the role of the upper echelons of the world and ruled and enslaved the world for Jiang Li.
However, they didn’t resist now. Instead, they followed the act.
There was no war in the Empire.
There was no war in the world!
There was only one war, and that was the battle of the Arctic!
……………………………………
Shen lang looked at the millions of people and entered the governor’s mansion without saying a word. He then pointed at Shen Cheng.
Only Shen lang and Shen Cheng were in the study room of the governor’s mansion.
“There’s only the two of us now. You can recover your face.” Shen lang said calmly.
The governor of Tiannan province, Shen Cheng’s face began to change. His figure also began to change, returning to the true appearance of the ancient new human.
He was indeed not Shen Cheng.
“What’s your name? I won’t ask.” “Let me ask you, where is the real Shen Cheng?” Shen lang asked.
“I don’t know!” “I really don’t know,” the fake Shen Cheng said.
Shen lang nodded and said, ” I rode a Dragon and entered Tiannan province. You have hundreds of thousands of troops and control the weapon system of the entire Tiannan province. Why didn’t you attack me? ”
I don’t dare to mock you. the fake Shen Cheng said, ” because in everyone’s eyes, you are the Emperor of the Empire. And the most important reason is that we have not received any decree regarding you, so we can not take any action.”
Understood!
Shen lang squinted his eyes and looked at the fake Shen Cheng.
“How many ancient new humans are there in the entire Southern Heaven city?” Shen lang asked.
“Nineteen,” The fake Shen Cheng said.
It was hard to imagine that the huge Southern Heaven city, with a population of nearly three million, was completely under the rule of nineteen ancient new human beings, and it was still so stable.
Shen lang looked at the fake Shen Cheng in front of him. Should he kill him? Should I kill these 19 ancient neo-humans?
After a long while, Shen lang gave up on the idea.
Of course, Shen lang could execute them by the emperor’s decree and send someone to take over the southern Heaven city. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people would not resist. They would even think that it was natural.
However, was it necessary?
Once he was ready to take over Tiannan province, Shen lang had to make all the preparations. He even needed to have the entire energy system that could directly replace the hell crystal system of the Jiangli Empire in Tiannan city and allow the huge Tiannan city to connect seamlessly. A small mistake could cost the lives of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
His previous battle with Jiang Li was not for power or territory, but for the right to speak in this world and the choice of routes.
Back then, when Shen lang fought the great Yan Empire, there was almost no large-scale battle. He fought the Emperor of Great Yan directly. Whoever won would be the king of the world. Everyone had to agree with this outcome, including Crown Prince Ji.
It was even more so for Shen lang and Jiang Li!
If he didn’t kill the fake Shen Cheng, then he would give him a warning to not squeeze more than a million slaves? Completely free them?
No!
Any order, no matter how bad or dark it was, was at least order. If he wanted to change it, he had to plan it slowly. He couldn’t change it suddenly, as it would cause terrible consequences.
“I’m leaving, you’re on your own.” Shen lang said calmly.
The fake Shen Cheng stood in place, motionless.
After Shen lang left the governor’s mansion, he rode on the giant dragon and flew towards the North.
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!”
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!”
The millions of people shouted in unison again and knelt on the ground to send Shen lang off.
When Shen lang could no longer be seen, he stood up from the ground. His entire body was burning. Even though the Emperor did not say a word, no encouragement, and no comfort, many people were still excited.
The Emperor had disappeared for decades and had finally reappeared!
…………………………………………
Shen lang rode the Dragon and kept going north. He kept going north along the energy tunnel of the hell crystal.
After two thousand miles, they arrived at a huge dome-shaped city. This should be the tianyue city, the former capital of the Yue State.
The Tian Yue city was of a higher rank than the Tian Nan city. It was the capital of the entire Kingdom. The highest ruler was Shen Li, the Prince of the Jiang Empire, the first son of Shen lang and Princess Ning Yan.
At this time, the Tian Yue Dome City was also larger than the Tian Nan city, with a population of more than four million. The diameter of the tianyue dome might be more than 80 kilometers.
When Shen lang flew into the dome of tianyue city, he received an even more shocking welcome.
Before he appeared, millions of people were already kneeling on the ground, waiting for his arrival.
When his figure appeared in the air, millions of people knelt down and kowtowed.
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!”
“Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!”
Most of the people in this Empire had a hard time and were in pain, but most of them were loyal and fanatical to the Emperor. There might be people who would rebel, but they were all incited by the Warriors of the desert capital. Only those who knew the truth would want to rebel. They knew that The Dark Emperor Jiang was not Shen lang and that The Dark Emperor Jiang wanted to destroy the entire world, so they rebelled.
Most people didn’t know the truth and thought that the Emperor of the Jiang Empire was Shen lang. They didn’t know about Jiang Li’s existence, let alone the existence of the ancient new human being. They had always thought that everything Emperor Shen lang did was for the sake of the world.
……………………………………
Shen lang entered the palace of tianyue city. It was still there, and it looked the same as it did 30 years ago.
This was very rare. The entire tianyue city had undergone earth-shaking changes. It had the typical characteristics of the Jiangli Empire-huge, shocking, cold, majestic, and oppressive. Only this Palace was completely preserved. It even looked exactly the same as when ning yuanxian was still in power.
Shen lang entered the palace and saw many familiar faces. Yan e, Prince Zhong, the son of Zhang Ji, and Shen Li, the Prince of the Empire who ruled over the border.
However, all of them were fake, all of them were imposters of ancient humans. Not a single one of them was real.
Therefore, he had no old friends! Shen lang looked at the fake Shen Li’s face. Although he was from his family, the real Shen Li should look like this now.
This kid was the least handsome among Shen Lang’s sons. He looked serious and serious, but he was also a little honest.
Although he was an enemy and an ancient new human in disguise, Shen lang could still see his face to relieve the longing in his heart.
There were only 19 ancient new human beings in the entire Tian Nan city, but there were more than 100 in the entire Tian Yue city.
This group of people appeared to be extremely respectful when they were outside the palace. Especially this fake Shen Li, he even called him father, full of respect and filial piety.
However, after they entered the palace, they realized that only Shen lang and the 100 ancient new humans were present. When they realized that there were no ordinary humans around, their expressions turned cold and they fell silent.
More than 100 ancient new human beings had all returned to their original appearances. They didn’t kneel, beg for mercy, or threaten.
It was just a cold confrontation!
You didn’t receive Jiang Li’s order, did you? ” “That’s why you don’t know how to face me,” Shen lang said.
“Yes, I am.” The fake Shen Li said.
Of course, Shen lang could kill these 100 ancient humans now. However, was he prepared to take over the entire population of five million people in Tian Yue city?
No, he wasn’t ready yet. The new capital of the great Qian Empire, raging tide city, was still under construction. There were not enough nuclear power cores to take over the millions of people, and there were not even enough officials.
……………………………………
In the endless cheers, Shen lang left Tian Yue city and continued North.
The Empire had no war! He couldn’t fight any of the cities, and there was no need to fight. He was the Emperor of the Empire. Was he going to fight himself?
Other than the few hundred thousand ancient new humans, the remaining hundreds of millions of people were his people. They had been loyal to him until now, so how could they start a war? How to take it back?
As long as he could defeat Jiang Li, the world would belong to Shen lang. Of course, if they were defeated, everything would be destroyed.
Therefore, Shen lang decided to fly very, very high. He was 10000 meters above the ground. On the way, they would pass by many dome-shaped cities of the Jiangli Empire. If they were seen by others, they would be greeted by cheers and millions of people.
It was very shocking, but there was no need to.
Even at a height of 10000 meters, Shen lang could still see the entire land clearly.
The further north they went, the colder the weather became. After they passed Vietnam, the temperature had already reached-100 degrees Celsius.
It was no longer suitable for anyone to live outside the energy barrier. Everything in his vision was covered in ice and snow.
Even the mountains and rivers were gone. The world was white. The only color that was different was the energy channel of the hell crystals, which connected the various dome cities of the Jiangli Empire like a spider web.
More than half of this world had already died.
Even if he defeated Jiang Li, even if he had nuclear power, even if he had ancient crops, even if he could feed hundreds of millions of people …
But was this the world from now on? Were all the people of the world living in an energy barrier?
Of course, this was Shen Lang’s thought process.
In other words, if the humans on earth were to develop Mars, they would also live underground. There would also be a layer of protection, because the atmosphere on Mars was so thin that it was almost non-existent.
Shen lang continued to fly north.
A few hours later, he arrived at the capital city, the Yan capital of the great Yan Empire.
……………………
He came to the Yan capital once more, but everything had changed. He could not even find any trace of the Yan capital.
Xuanji was the largest city in the world.
It was not inferior to the Super metropolises of modern earth. It really felt like the horizon of the city.
Of course, the whole city was still very ancient, cold, and eerie, but it was also full of a strange magic.
The city was only a few thousand square kilometers in area. However, the houses in this city were even taller, bigger, and more magnificent.
However, these houses did not feel like skyscrapers. They were completely ancient houses, but they were very, very tall, with dozens of floors.
Thus, it looked really bizarre.
But no matter what, even if it wasn’t artistic, the capital city was still full of a strange flavor.
Shen lang had never seen such a city in any movie. The Lord of the Rings had the city of Mordor, but compared to the capital of the Jiangli Empire, it was too small.
The capital city in front of him looked like a real evil empire. It was a dark forest, but it was brightly lit.
The entire capital city had changed, but there was one place that was still the same as decades ago. That was the Imperial Palace. It was exactly the same as when Shen lang left.
The other buildings in the city were all very tall, but the palace remained the same. There were no high-rise buildings in the palace, and even the taboo tower was not very tall.
However, Xuanji’s entire Palace still looked down on the entire capital city, high and mighty. That was because the Imperial Palace had been elevated by more than a few hundred meters.
That was why the palace in the capital city was like a real city in the sky.
…………………………………………
When Shen lang flew above the capital city, he was not attacked. However, no one cheered him on.
No one knew about Shen Lang’s arrival.
In the past few decades, Jiang Li and Shen lang had not appeared. Therefore, the ruler of the world was Jiang Ye on the East and Queen Helen on the West. The xilun Empire had already become a part of the Jiang Empire, so Empress Helen had become the Queen.
The capital city in front of them was the center of the entire world’s rule, at least in name.
Over the decades, all the known edicts and orders had come from the Imperial Palace. To be precise, they had come from Crown Prince Jiang Ye.
He was very diligent and wise. With the assistance of the Prime Minister, he had firmly grasped the ruling power of the entire Empire for decades.
At this moment, it was already late at night. In the Imperial study of the Imperial Palace.
Crown Prince Jiang Ye, Prime Minister Jin Jun, Deputy Prime Minister Jin mucong, and several prime ministers were still busy.
The entire process was silent, and no one even spoke.
Several prime ministers were reading memorials. The less important memorials could be decided by the Prime Ministers, and those that couldn’t be decided would be directly handed over to the Crown Prince, Jiang Ye.
The few of them did not even need to use words to communicate. They communicated completely through letters, and they were extremely simple words. A sentence could only be expressed with two or three words. Unless one was at the highest level of the Empire, one would not know what it meant.
That’s right, Jin mucong had become the Empire’s Deputy Prime Minister. He was also diligent and reserved. Although he was not the smartest, he was definitely the most serious.
The bell rang ten times, and it was already ten O ‘clock in the evening.
The first Prime Minister of the Empire, Jin Jun, said, ” “That’s all for today. Please come early tomorrow. Everyone, go home and rest.”
Crown Prince Jiang Ye looked away from the memorial and nodded. “Alright, everyone can go home first. There’s no need to rush so early tomorrow. Just come to the palace before seven o ‘clock.”
It wasn’t even early yet. He only left the palace at 10 pm and went home. He had to go to work before 7 am the next morning. This was even worse than 996.
“We will take our leave!” Under the lead of the first Prime Minister, Jinjun, the other prime ministers stood up and bowed to the Crown Prince. Then, they left in unison.
A moment later, the Crown Prince was the only one left in the study.
Your Highness, it’s already night, ” an old eunuch said. go back and rest.
“The Prime Ministers can rest, but I can’t. There’s still a pile of memorials in front of me,” Jiang Ye said.
“There’s still time to approve these dozens of memorials tomorrow,” the old eunuch said.
Crown Prince Jiang Ye said, ” today’s matter will be pushed back to tomorrow. Tomorrow’s matter will be pushed back to the day after tomorrow. There will be a day when it will accumulate and be difficult to turn back. Today’s matter has come to an end. Even Prime Minister Jin Jun and second Prime Minister Jin mucong will be busy until at least one o ‘clock before they can sleep, let alone me. ”
The old eunuch said, ” His Highness the Crown Prince is too diligent. You have to learn this from His Majesty. He knows how to enjoy life very well.
“Father and I are different,” Jiang Ye said,”and our missions are different.”
we don’t understand what you’re saying, ” the old eunuch said. I’ll go and make a bowl of bird’s nest soup for His Majesty. You can sleep well after drinking it.
“Alright,” he said. Crown Prince Jiang Ye began to read through the memorials seriously again.
For the past few decades, every day had been like this. The Crown Prince had to work more than 15 hours a day. Every night, he could not go to sleep until 1 o ‘clock, but he had to get up before 6 O’ clock. It had been the same for decades.
His diligence could be said to be the role model of a King in a thousand years.
When Shen lang was the ruler of great Qian, he looked really cool. He did not need to attend court and did not have to work hard. However, that was during the stage of conquering the world. Once the Emperor was governing the world, it was absolutely impossible for him to not be diligent.
He wanted to be in power, but he also wanted to be carefree and happy? That was impossible. Emperor Jiajing and Tang Xuanzong had both learned their painful lessons.
……………………………………
At midnight, Prince Jiang Ye ate a bowl of soup and then continued to read the memorials.
Because he had just finished eating, it was not good to go to sleep immediately. It was just right to sleep after an hour.
He controlled a unique rhythm and reviewed the remaining memorials. One book after another.
“Dang!”
This was the second time the bell had rung. It was already one in the morning, and it was time to sleep.
At this time, the Crown Prince Jiang Ye (Shen Ye) had just finished marking the last Memorial. Today’s work was finally done, and he could go to sleep.
The Crown Prince stood up and stretched his back. He then left the study and headed to his sleeping quarters.
But he quickly realized that something was wrong, because the old eunuch and the Imperial Dragon guards needed to come and escort the Crown Prince back to his chambers.
The air in the study room suddenly flickered, and a figure appeared in front of him.
It was Shen lang.
When Prince Jiang Ye saw Shen lang, he was stunned.
“You’re here? You’ve finally come.” Crown Prince Jiang Ye slowly returned to his seat.
Shen lang looked at the face of the Crown Prince.
He was the most handsome man in the world. When he was young, Shen Ye was already shockingly handsome. In fact, he was even more handsome than Shen lang.
Now, he was in the prime of his life, so handsome that no one could look at him directly. His Xiao Ye had grown so big, and it really seemed like it had only happened overnight.
However, Qianqian, the Crown Prince in front of her was not Jiang Ye. He was still an ancient human in disguise.
He was not the only one. Jin Jun, Jin mucong, and all the other prime ministers were fake. They were all transformed from ancient humans.
However, they acted exactly the same every day. They even forgot their real identities and really treated themselves as Jin mucong and Jin Jun.
sigh, I’ve been in disguise for decades. I’ve really forgotten my true identity. “If you didn’t come, I would have completely mistaken myself for Shen Ye,” the fake Jiang Ye said.
As he spoke, the fake Shen Ye returned to his real mask. He was still as handsome as ever, and he even looked similar to Shen lang and Shen Ye.
let me introduce myself. I’m Jiang Xie’s son, Jiang mie.
Although the person in front of him was a fake Shen Ye, he was the real Crown Prince. He did not expect him to be Jiang Xie’s son.
of course, please don’t misunderstand. My mother is not Queen Medusa. “And my name was given to me by my father when he was young,” Jiang mie said.
Jiang mi … Should this name be considered pessimistic or optimistic?
Shen lang said,”isn’t Zhang Yan the Vice Minister of the Empire?” Where is he?”
Zhang Ji is the Deputy Prime Minister, ” Jiang mie said. but he went to xilun on behalf of the capital city to talk with Queen Helen.
Shen lang was stunned.
The fake Shen Ye (Jiang mie) said, ” Oh, of course. Zhang San is a fake. We ancient humans are in disguise. Queen Helen is also a fake and in disguise.
Shen lang said,”do you guys have to be so serious?” We’re both ancient humans, but you still want the fake Zhang Ji to interview the fake Helen?”
Jiang mie said, ” it’s so fake that it’s also real. If we don’t put on a show seriously, how can we govern this enormous Empire? the hundreds of millions of people are real.
Shen lang could hear the sadness in her words.
Jiang Li had done everything by himself, so the hundreds of thousands of ancient new human beings under his command could only play the game of ruling the world. That’s right, this was a game. No matter how serious and realistic it was, it really felt like a game.
That was because Jiang Li’s goal was not to maintain or develop the Empire, but to devour the vitality of the entire world. The hundreds of millions of people would eventually become cannon fodder and become the source of energy.
Even Jiang Xie’s son was no exception. He wanted to play the game. This reminded Shen lang of what was the most important thing when he was playing games on earth. A sense of immersion. If you want a game to be fun, you have to take it seriously.
Shen lang came to the study room and looked at the books on the shelf carefully.
He had stayed in this study room not too long ago. After he defeated the Emperor of Great Yan and before he headed to the North Pole, Shen lang spent most of his time in this study room.
Shen lang randomly picked a book and flipped through it.
The Crown Prince, Jiang mie, was sitting in his chair quietly, not moving.
Shen lang was very sad, but he was also very pleased.
He was sad because Shen Ye had been replaced. Initially, Shen lang thought that since Shen Ye was Jiang Li’s grandson and the true heir of the Jiang royal family, Jiang Li would show him some mercy and let him become the real Crown Prince to rule the Empire.
He was relieved because Shen Ye was still loyal to his identity and remembered that he was the son of Shen lang and Mulan before he became the heir of the Jiang royal family.
“Jiang mie, all the higher-ups of the Empire, including my family, are all fake. They are all imposters of the ancient humans, right?” Shen lang asked.
“Yes, I am.” Jiang mie (fake Shen Ye) said.
Shen lang asked again,”do you know where the real Shen Ye is?” And where are my other children and relatives?”
“I’m sorry,” Jiang mie said,”I didn’t know. Only the great emperor knows about this.” Why don’t you ask him yourself? you can go to the North Pole and ask him yourself. I believe he has been waiting for you.”
Jiang mie didn’t call him father, but the great emperor, or him.
Jiang mie must have had complicated feelings as well. The Dark Emperor Jiang’s soul was Jiang Xie’s, but he always thought of himself as Jiang Li, so Jiang mie couldn’t call him by his name.
Where were Shen Ye, Bing ‘er, ning yuanxian, and the rest of Shen Lang’s family? No one knew except Jiang Li.
“The North Pole? The final battle with His Majesty Jiang Li?” Shen lang said,”I will!” I will go!”
And at this moment!
The smoke from the sandalwood incense suddenly condensed and turned into Emperor Jiang Li’s face.
Profound, simple, mysterious, and powerful!
Even if it was only a face outlined by smoke, it was still extremely intimidating. Even if it was just a smoke, it seemed to be able to turn countless lives into ashes.
“Emperor Jiang Li, how have you been?” Shen lang said.
“Emperor Shen lang, how have you been?” Jiang Li said.
At this moment, Jiang Li addressed Shen Lang as His Majesty in a serious manner.
may I ask where my wife, children, and all my family members are imprisoned? ” Shen lang asked.
Jiang Li’s face that was formed by the smoke looked at Shen lang for a moment and said, ” Emperor Shen lang, I will be making a trip to raging tide city to take a look at your new civilization system. Please prepare yourself.
Shen lang was shocked!
He had come to the capital city of the Jiang Empire, but Jiang Li had gone to his furious tide city?
Jiang Li is going to raging tide city in person?
Even if he didn’t go personally, even if it was just a clone, it would still be very terrifying.
The Ji clan’s giant dragon in raging tide city, the heaven-gazing totem, everyone, and all their strength couldn’t even defeat half of Jiang Li’s finger.
Jiang Li had never appeared in the desert capital, the abyssal Rift, or even the ruins of the ancient Great Tribulation Temple. At most, he had only sent second-and third-tier people. And now, he was actually going to raging tide city?
“Emperor Shen lang, prepare yourself. I’m coming!” Jiang Li said slowly.
Then, Jiang Li’s face that was formed by the smoke of the sandalwood incense completely disappeared!
