When a behemoth begins to operate under an absolute will, the energy it can exert is unimaginable by anyone.
Even if this behemoth is not operating at full capacity.
Under the secret instructions of the old emperor, information about King Cheng in the past few years piled up in front of him like snowflakes.
Not only that, during this process, the old emperor also discovered that there were some seemingly unrelated people inside and outside Dali who had the same anomalies as King Cheng.
They have all their own memories, but no matter whether their daily performance is different from before, they are constantly improving their status and building their own power.
And some changes in likes and dislikes.
Some things are easy to change, but some things are difficult to change.
There is nothing wrong with actively pursuing progress. Everyone yearns for higher and more beautiful scenery. As long as you overcome laziness, you will basically choose to do so.
But some small daily habits cannot be changed by simply changing them.
This is something that has been engraved in my bones.
Unless you have received a huge blow, if you want to change, you can only do it bit by bit.
However, during the old emperor's investigation, it was found that without exception, these people had not received any serious blows over the years, but some of their habits, likes and dislikes that should have been engraved in their bones suddenly discovered changes.
It's like the body is still the same body, the memory is still the memory, but it's not the same person.
The old emperor scoffed at such a ridiculous conclusion at first, and even connected people from all over the world, not even the same country, together these days, he felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
However, during the subsequent investigation, after discovering each other, the two people, who had never had any interactions with each other, seemed to have encountered the enemy who killed their father, and they started a fight to the death.
And there is more than one such case.
Later, after a certain person won the victory, the old emperor ordered him to be captured secretly, hoping to get some information from him.
However, that person seemed to have misunderstood something and launched a fierce resistance.
The final result was that the old emperor sent people, and after paying a lot of money, although they did not catch the person, they successfully killed the person.
Before that person died, although he was unwilling to do so, he had no fear of death.
The old emperor then searched through the previous information and found that none of the failed people in the records had ever begged for mercy in the face of death.
It was as if they didn't die, but just lost a certain competition.
Then, more abnormal discoveries were made, and words such as "indigenous" and "ants" also reached the ears of the old emperor.
These people behave as if they don't belong to this world.
However, even though he felt that it was too absurd, the old emperor still had a feeling of "it might be like this" about the conclusion after the investigation.
Then it was time to find a way to verify it.
However, the old emperor did not go to King Cheng for confirmation immediately. Instead, he secretly investigated whether any of his nine sons were in the same situation as King Cheng.
Fortunately, most of his sons are no different from before, so suspicion can basically be ruled out.
Unfortunately, his son was released to practice and see if he was qualified to take over the country, but the dissatisfaction was the biggest.
But there is still a little difference.
The other people in the old emperor's investigation had not experienced a major blow before the change, but King Yu was an exception.
The third prince, King Jing, sent people to secretly assassinate King Yu. Although it was done secretly, with the old emperor's ability, once he was determined to investigate, he would naturally not be able to hide it.
But this instead proved the problem of the old emperor's fifth son.
How does an ordinary person who has never practiced practice survive the assassination of a second-level strongman?
Not to mention that the person who assassinated him was a magician with strange methods.
However, King Yu not only survived the assassination intact, but his temperament also changed drastically. He changed his previous strategy of keeping a low profile and made a big fuss in the household department.
In addition, he showed the same abnormality as those people.
After multiple confirmations, although there was no substantive evidence, the old emperor also vaguely believed that his two sons had been replaced by others at some point.
Judging from their actions, it seems that the target is the throne under their own butts.
This was also the reason why the old emperor was the first to come back to Di Xin for verification.
Nowadays, no matter what they think in their hearts, most of the officials in the capital support King Cheng on the surface. After King Cheng was exposed by him, he would make a desperate move and directly force the palace to seize the throne.
But Di Xin is different.
Emperor Xin's base camp is in northern Xinjiang, but the capital city has no foundation at all.
If he dared to attack the emperor in the capital, King Cheng would definitely not miss this opportunity to eradicate his dissidents, and he might also leave the capital under the charge of assassinating the emperor.
The emperor's balancing act can also be used here.
Therefore, unless Emperor Xin gave up the throne of Dali and did not want to live anymore, even if his identity was revealed, he would not be able to openly attack him in the palace.
And he lied about being critically ill just to prevent Di Xin from returning to the capital with a larger force.
As for the other people he called back for this reason, they were all just used as a cover to achieve their real goals.
To be honest, the old emperor really hoped that all the work he had done for so long was in vain, and all his investigations were actually groundless worries.
However, Di Xin's rhetorical question directly confirmed his guess.
And since Xiaowu has been replaced, the boss who also shows these abnormalities will naturally be no exception.
One is the most powerful contender for the throne, and the other is the heir who was released by himself and cultivated by himself.
The two princes who are most likely to inherit the throne are actually no longer themselves. This has to be said to be a great irony.
Di Xin was filled with emotion.
There are only twenty or thirty Realm Lords who have descended on the Ancient Moon Realm. Excluding the Realm Lords who have descended on places too far away like the West, as well as the Realm Lords who have been eliminated before, the old emperor has exhausted all possible means within and outside the country to detect anomalies.
There are only a dozen or so people.
Wanting to connect seemingly unrelated people from all over the world these days, but also having to hide it from King Cheng who is so close to Chi Chi, it is enough to show how much work is involved.
It can also be seen how powerful the old emperor's power is.
Di Xin even had some doubts. According to the background shown by the old emperor and the current rules, it seems that as long as a realm lord can ascend the throne of Dali and clear up the civil strife, then the realm lord who has mastered this power will almost be equal to
In an invincible position.
Of course, it is not easy to obtain this power, so this gap has not reached an irreparable level.
