As Zhu Biao expected, Daozu finally agreed to his proposal, that is, he completely surrendered to Zhu Biao and became his follower.
It is actually a little inaccurate to say that he followed the gods. An accurate statement should be that the three realms were completely integrated into the Ming Empire, and Daozu became the domain lord who managed an area like Taishang Laojun.
And all those who can become domain lords are world lords.
Over the past ten thousand years, the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even now it is not appropriate to call it Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have given this world a new name.
Bright world.
Today's Ming Realm is vast and boundless, even wider than the original Three Realms.
Countless cities were built on the earth, and countless cities formed countless countries.
On top of these countries, sixteen spiritual realms have also been established.
Including Taoist ancestors, Tathagata Buddha, Taishang Laojun, and even Empress Pingxin of the underworld, all have become the jade masters of these spiritual realms.
And above these domain lords there is Heaven.
There is no doubt that the Lord of Heaven is Zhu Yuanzhang.
This forms a top-down stable management system.
However, what is different from the previous management system of the Ming Empire is that under the jurisdiction of Tingtian Court, every spiritual realm and every country belongs to each other, and they can also fight against each other.
The role of heaven is only to coordinate and manage these countries and spiritual realms.
As long as there is no large-scale extermination of human beings or a horrific event that destroys an entire spiritual realm, heaven will no longer manage matters on earth.
To be honest, this kind of system made Zhu Yuanzhang quite uncomfortable when it was first implemented.
If you are a workaholic and suddenly become free, you will naturally feel extremely at a loss.
But he soon realized the benefits of doing so. He would no longer be bogged down by heavy official duties, and the remaining time could be spent on practicing, enjoying family happiness, or traveling around.
And the most important thing is that the identity of the Human Emperor will not allow this world to be completely out of his control.
In addition to the insurance of the Human Emperor, there is also the second insurance of Zhu Biao, the Lord of the World.
With these two insurances, as long as the two of them don't die, this world will always be under their control.
And the two of them are almost immortal existences now.
Another thirty years have passed, and although there are occasional fights in the entire Ming Realm, it is generally peaceful.
However, through research at the Institute of Spiritual Energy, it was discovered that the aura of this world is slowly disappearing.
Although this process is slow, it actually exists.
In other words, the final result of their side of the world must be periodic spiritual energy exhaustion.
It's like the Three Realms back then.
What Daozu did was actually just to advance the process.
It means that except for the Three Realms, the previous Liaozhai world pictures are like this.
Research has found that the larger the world, the greater the frequency and duration of spiritual energy failure.
This phenomenon of spiritual energy exhaustion is called the change of era by the strong men of the Three Realms.
According to research by the Academy of Sciences, the larger the world is in terms of epoch change, the longer an epoch takes.…
The era change of the Three Realms is based on millions of years, and the Ming Realm, which is now larger than the Three Realms, must have an era change of more than a million years, or even several million years.
Ordinarily, such an epoch-changing phenomenon is too far away for Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang now, and there is no need to worry at all.
But in fact this is already an urgent problem.
Because today's Ming Realm has completely matured after Zhu Biao became the Lord of the World.
This kind of maturity also means that the richness of the spiritual energy within it has reached its peak.
Afterwards, the concentration of spiritual energy will gradually decrease.
Although this gradual decline process will last for millions of years, or even tens of millions of years.
But it is undeniable that the current Mingjie is when its combat power is at its highest.
From there it is a gradual decline process.
Naturally, if you want to do something, now is the best time, and it is also the time when the combat effectiveness of the Ming Realm is the highest.
"It's time." A voice sounded softly in the heaven.
It was Zhu Biao who spoke, and this was the first time he appeared in heaven in nearly a thousand years.
"Have you decided?" Zhu Yuanzhang appeared behind Zhu Biao and said with a hint of reluctance.
"Well!" Zhu Biao only said this one word, and then fell into silence.
He is about to start the ultimate battle.
This is the last level of the world game.
No one can help him anymore.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been fighting side by side with him, could no longer accompany him on his final journey.
Because all the next enemies are the lords of the world.
And like Zhu Biao, he defeated the masters of the world one after another.
He wants to fight with these world lords for control of the World Tree.
This is the ultimate battle.
Of course, these contents are all information he obtained after he became the Lord of the World and successfully incorporated the Ming Realm into his body.
This information cannot be guaranteed to be correct. After all, both Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang are extremely wary of the consciousness or life form that provides them with the World Tree game.
As for the specific content of the final battle?
It's better to wait until he enters the final battlefield and explore it himself.
"Father, I'm leaving." Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said in a deep voice.
There was a trace of reluctance in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. He had a feeling that saying goodbye to Zhu Biao this time might even be the last time they met.
After this, it can be said that my son had a narrow escape from death.
No one can say what the future will be like.
If possible, Zhu Yuanzhang even wants to replace Zhu Biao in the final battle of this game.
But it's a pity that he was not the chosen one for this game after all.
"Biao'er, you must be careful when you go." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed a trace of sadness for the first time.
But after all, he is no longer the emperor of the mortal world back then.
He had been psychologically prepared for such a parting for a long time.
"Father, I know how to take care of you after leaving this time!" Zhu Biao said.
"Let's go!" Zhu Biao was not a pushy person. Now that he had made a decision, he no longer hesitated. After he said this, his figure disappeared. At the same time, a voice sounded in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
Ringing...
"After I leave, father, the consciousness of the way of heaven will become the way of heaven with no emotions and only principles. In the future, the way of heaven will be controlled by you. You must be careful with Dao Ancestor and others."
As Zhu Biao finished speaking, his figure, even his breath, and everything else completely disappeared from this world.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt this immediately.
There was a trace of sadness in his eyes again.
He couldn't help but grin.
"You brat actually taught your father a lesson. Those who didn't know it thought you were me and I was your son!"
"Humph, in this whole world, if we talk about political power, if I claim to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first..." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
"Boom!"
There was pouring rain and lightning and thunder.
In a rented house in an inconspicuous alley in Yiyang City, a man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Where is this?"
"A new extraordinary world?"
Zhu Biao stood up and looked around at his surroundings.
This room is very empty, with a big bed, an old-looking TV, a table and a stool, that's all.
Looking at the things here, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown slightly.
He always felt that everything here looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He quickly reacted.
This should be the world he was in before traveling through.
"This is the real world." Zhu Biao couldn't help but shrink slightly.
To be honest, he was a little shocked by his current experience.
He never imagined that he would actually return to the real world.
You must know that he has lived in another world for tens of thousands of years.
Compared to the short twenty or thirty years in the real world, for his entire life it was only an extremely short period of time that passed in the blink of an eye.
But from another aspect, these twenty or thirty years are the most important period for him.
This is where he formed his worldview.
"No, I only have memories, and everything except memories has disappeared."
Zhu Biao murmured to himself.
At this moment, his face looked extremely ugly, because the bright world in his body was completely unable to contact him.
In other words, he has changed from a powerful world lord to a helpless mortal.
He couldn't even sense the aura anymore.
"Is everything before just a dream of mine?" A trace of confusion flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.
But soon he shook his head involuntarily.
"No, this is definitely not a dream. A dream cannot have such a real memory."
Zhu Biao walked to the window, opened it and took a look at the lightning, thunder, stormy night outside.
Night enveloped the earth, like a giant beast hiding in the darkness.
This world still looks like the world in my memory, but it seems to be completely different.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly his expression froze slightly. He felt the sudden appearance of wisps of spiritual energy in the sky.
"Aura!"
"Revival of spiritual energy?" Zhu Biao felt all this and couldn't help but grinned...
He closed his eyes and looked within himself.
Soon he had a general understanding of his body at the moment.
Just an ordinary twenty-year-old mortal.
Not too good, not too bad either.
And the traces of spiritual energy he had breathed into his body before were slowly changing his physique.
"If I want to prove whether what I experienced before was a dream or reality, it's actually very simple. I just need to practice a technique or martial arts that I knew before."
A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's lips, and he slowly sat down cross-legged.
There are countless skills and magical powers hidden in his mind.
These exercises and supernatural powers come from many worlds, and there are also many cultivation methods developed by the Academy of Sciences of the Ming Empire.
If he wanted to start training again, Zhu Biao could only repeat the previous path, but now with the improvement of his horizons, he obviously no longer looks down on the previous cultivation method of first taking the martial arts and then the immortal path.
.
"Perhaps I can try the training methods of ancient Qi practitioners." A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, around him, those spiritual energies were pouring into his body, and even countless spiritual energies were forming a huge vortex with him as the center. This vortex even enveloped the urban area of Yiyang where he was located.
The night passed quietly, and when Zhu Biao opened his eyes again, his cultivation level had stepped from a mortal to the third level of Qi training.
He stretched out his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
He looked at the flames and couldn't help but smile.
His cultivation has reached the third level of Qi training, not because he can only step into the third level of Qi training, but because the concentration of spiritual energy in this world only allows him to cultivate to the third level of Qi training. Of course, he can also practice upwards.
But the time required will become extremely long.
Zhu Biao is not in a hurry about this, he is confident that no matter who is in this world, no matter how long he is in this world, his cultivation level may exceed him, but his strength will definitely not surpass him.
After all, he was once the Lord of the World who stood at the top of the world of immortality!
As long as the aura in the real world continues to revive, his cultivation can continue to advance.
Zhu Biao is very confident about this.
"Bang bang bang!" At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang not far away.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown, and his consciousness swept across the door.
A man was standing there with a panicked look on his face, banging on the door.
"Zhu Biao, are you there? I promised to go find a job today. You haven't gotten up yet, have you?"
As Zhu Biao reached the third level of Qi training at this moment, some magical features were naturally revealed.
One of them is his memory. Even though the time node he is in now is tens of thousands of years apart from the past, Zhu Biao can immediately recall his current situation as long as he recalls it for a moment.
I had just graduated from college, and my classmate Zhang Hua was preparing to find a job.
After recalling everything, Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile. He stood up and opened the door. Suddenly, Zhang Hua came in shouting.
"Zhu Biao, why are you dawdling? Didn't you know there is a job fair today?"
"As an archeology major, do you think you can find a good job?"
As Zhang Hua walked, he was already expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Gah!" But the next moment, he suddenly became mute.
Because right in front of him, in Zhu Biao's house, the wooden floor on the ground was covered with a layer of green buds at some point. And on the balcony, the pothos that looked half-dead yesterday was now
However, the entire balcony has been covered with vines, and at the same time, there is an extremely fresh smell permeating Zhu Biao's room.
"What's going on?" Zhang Hua muttered to himself, full of shock.
