Chapter 304.1
Sure enough, Yaoyao immediately calmed down and ran off shyly.
After bidding farewell to Lin Beifan, Song Yufei set off for the Great Ren Kingdom.
It took her about five days to travel the 3,000 li to the Great Ren Kingdom, where she met the current monarch, Li Shidao.
Li Shidao was exactly 30 years old this year, making him quite young among the emperors.
He looked dignified with a fair and handsome face, starry brows, and a slight beard. Due to his consistent benevolent governance, he exuded an air of scholarly elegance.
He was very pleased to see Song Yufei: Fairy Yufei, youve come!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Song Yufei nodded slightly, My personal affairs are settled! From now on, I will assist Your Majesty in expanding the empire and becoming one of the supreme rulers of the world!
Excellent! Thank you, Fairy, and thank you to the Taoist Sect for your support! The Emperor of Great Ren was extremely excited.
The Taoist Sects support meant that his country was already halfway to becoming an empire. And he would become the ruler of an empire, a name to be remembered through the ages.
However, there had been one previous failure.
But that was purely an accident.
Considering the historical records, the probability was too small. He couldnt believe that such an accident would also happen to him.
Song Yufei watched the others excited demeanor, as if seeing the former Great Luo Emperor.
With a complex look in her eyes, she cautioned, Your Majesty, we once assisted the Great Luo Emperor, but he failed! So, please remember his lesson. Be a good Emperor who loves his people like his own children and dont follow in his footsteps!
Rest assured, Fairy, I know what to do! the Great Ren Emperor said with full confidence.
The failure of the Great Luo Emperor was entirely his own fault!
Despite having great advantages, he managed to ruin his own country. He was certain he would never make the same mistakes!
Your Majesty, what do you plan to do next? Song Yufei asked.
Fairy, I plan to the Great Ren Emperor began, speaking at length about his ideas.
Essentially, he intended to continue implementing benevolent governance internally while recruiting soldiers and acquiring horses to expand the territory externally!
In simple terms, it meant practicing the way of the sage internally and the way of the king externally!
Every Emperor with ambitions for the world followed this path.
Song Yufei listened and was greatly satisfied.
However, I plan to hold a grand ceremony to worship Heaven and our ancestors before implementing these policies to announce this matter to the world! the Great Ren Emperor said spiritedly.
He had two purposes for doing this. One was to show off a bit, and the other was to extend goodwill towards the Taoist Sect.
After hearing this, Song Yufei did not object.
Thus, the Great Ren Emperor announced this to the world and began preparations with great enthusiasm.
The Taoist Sect has chosen a wise ruler again. He is the Emperor of the Great Ren Kingdom!
I know of that Emperor. His name is Li Shidao, and he can be considered a young and promising benevolent ruler! Hes been Emperor for 10 years now, and under his management, the country is thriving!
It does sound promising! However, the previous Great Luo Emperor was also once a wise ruler, but later he became a tyrant and lost his country, making the Taoist Sect the laughingstock of the world! I wonder if this Emperor will end up like him?
Its hard to say. Well just have to wait and see!
There was much discussion among the people.
Great Ren Emperor Li Shidao, who was originally just an ordinary great kingdom Emperor, had become widely renowned and even more famous than many Empire rulers.
On the day of the ceremony to worship Heaven and the ancestors, there was a sea of people. All the civil and military officials were present, and many common people from the Great Ren Kingdom also came.
Representatives from various forces also sent people to witness the event.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the Great Ren Emperor, dressed in a luxurious imperial robe for the ceremony, slowly ascended the Altar of Heaven, offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and to the ancestors
The smile on his face was impossible to hide.
In his heart, he silently proclaimed, From today on, I shall embark on the great path of establishing an Empire! I hope my ancestors and the gods of Heaven and Earth will bless me!
After speaking, he knelt down, offered incense, and poured out libations.
Although the ceremony was very elaborate, he relished every moment of it.
Unbeknownst to him, there was a figure high above in the sky.
It was Lin Beifan, who had taken time out of his schedule to join in the excitement.
His position was just right, directly above where the Great Ren Emperor was kneeling.
Watching the others secretly delighted expression, Lin Beifan let out a slight smile: Seeing how filial you are, Ill give you a newcomers gift pack. I hope you like it!
He raised his right hand, and above his head, a stone sphere with a diameter of a hundred zhang appeared.
This was something he had transported from within the Great Xia territory using the Empire Sandbox, weighing tens of millions of tons.
As he let go, the large stone sphere plummeted straight down.
At that moment, the experts present instinctively looked up at the sky.
Then they saw a black dot rapidly growing larger.
What is that thing in the sky?
What the hell? I sense an ominous presence
Danger!
The small black dot, initially the size of a sesame seed, quickly grew to the size of a fist.
Then, it became as big as a disc.
Next, it was the size of something you could wrap your arms around.
Eventually, it was so massive that it almost blotted out the sun, casting an oppressive shadow.
Everyone was in a panic: Your Majesty is in danger. Get out of the way!
The whole altar was thrown into chaos.
Amidst the terror of the crowd, the enormous object finally crashed down.
With a thunderous boom, it landed right on the royal mausoleum of the Great Ren Kingdom, demolishing the entire tomb and causing the earth to tremble and split apart.
Caught in the disaster, The Altar of Heaven collapsed with a crash.
When everything settled down, everyone looked at the unrecognizable mausoleum and the surrounding devastation, speaking excitedly and incoherently.
A meteorite has fallen from the sky. This is an ominous sign!
The Great Ren Emperor has lost the Mandate of Heaven!
Having narrowly escaped disaster, the Great Ren Emperor fainted upon witnessing the scene and hearing the comments of those around him.
