Chapter 960 Everyone gets it and kills it

Tao Yu played with four identical jade pendants in his hand, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

[Tongxin Pei]: The wearers of multiple jade pendants can sense each other and establish connections across world barriers.

These jade pendants do not have the powerful magic power like the magic rings, nor do they have the functions of resisting mental attacks and protecting the owner’s soul. Apart from their special features, they are relatively ordinary among the holy objects.

But at least for Tao Yu, its use is much greater than the magic ring today.

Now the little bonus from the magic ring is almost useless to Tao Yu. It is the ability of soul connection that makes Tao Yu use it more smoothly.

Now there is something more convenient here, I can get four of them at once!
“I will wear one myself, and the remaining three will be just enough for three Wheel Tomb clones.”

Tao Yu was very satisfied. He took another look at the newly acquired trillion-level wish power, and his heart became even happier.

The power of will becomes one’s own strength when it is used up. Even the real gods will not retain too much of it. For example, Tao Yu himself is a typical person who spends whatever he gets.

Then I glanced at the deep V dress of Princess Tarona sitting next to me. Wow, her skin is quite good.

Tao Yuke has never changed his original intention in appreciating beautiful things and delicious food. Even now he still feels that he is a human being rather than a god.

But it’s just for fun, very open and aboveboard.

This made Tarona feel a little strange.

A true God is like this…

Still somewhat… uh, informal.

However, the current situation of the empire made Talona have no reaction, and to some extent it was even a recognition of herself.

“I hope His Majesty the First will be satisfied with these gifts of thanks.”

“very nice.”

Tao Yu nodded and put away all the Tongxin pendants.

After seeing Tao Yu satisfied, Tarona said in a gentle voice:

“Our Glorious Empire has stood here for over a thousand years. Although we have experienced many setbacks, we are generally familiar with the Endless Sea. We also have several independent trade routes and many trading partners in the Endless Sea…”

“Well, the Glorious Empire does have this status. The path taken by the emperor should also be related to rule.”

Tao Yu knew that Tarona was the Venerable on the Emperor’s divine path. Although she had not yet reached the ultimate demigod level, her strength was considerable.

The characteristics of this energy can be vaguely captured from her body, which is somewhat similar to part of the Judgment Path and part of the Black Emperor Path in the original world.

“Indeed, it is related. Your Majesty’s path needs a stable country to anchor it. This will give Him additional strength. As long as the Glory Empire as a whole is still there, Your Majesty will be able to suppress other opponents of the same level…”

Tarona said this very naturally.

However, Tao Yu did not feel the humanitarian power from Yongling City at this time, and it did not seem to be related to any additional power!
All we can say is that the Emperor is in a very bad state, to the point that He has lost contact with His own kingdom.

Although I was able to detect it so easily with the help of the convenience of [Humanity].

But if the emperor continues in this state for too long, he will be exposed sooner or later.

Even far away in Xingyao City, because the place closest to the old frontier area also belongs to the Glory Empire, it is also known that the Glory Empire is in a bad state. It can be imagined that this is no secret.

The reason why it has been able to be maintained is that in addition to the leadership of the ten most powerful Divine Road masters in the cabinet, the other Divine Road masters of the empire are still obedient at least on the surface.

Only the remaining true god deterrence of the Emperor himself can ensure the current “peace”.

As long as there is no certainty that the emperor is dead, there will be no reason for other gods to make any obvious attempts unless there is a big enough benefit, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss.

For them, there is no shortage of time anyway, so they can continue to wait until the day when the truth comes to light.

Eat safely and smoothly.

But even if there is no true God exerting pressure on the Glorious Empire, the empire still retains some connections and dignity.

But the horrible state of Yongling City and the lack of support from the neighboring Binhai City actually show that the empire’s corruption is already irreversible.

It is even hard to say whether the ten venerables in the cabinet who follow the same path can still be of one mind and one heart…

“…The path we are on is called [rule], ruling the country, ruling the power, and even ruling the rules. It has great potential and a promising future.”

At this time, Tarona also straightened her chest slightly. She was still somewhat confident about the mystery of the road of [Domination].

However, when entering Yongling City, she noticed the transformation of Yongling City, which was like rebirth from the ashes, which still made Tarona pause.
“I am showing off my skills in front of Your Majesty. I am afraid that Your Majesty also had similar authority in the ‘original’ time.”

“Indeed, there is a little bit, but it is still different from you.”

Tao Yu did not comment, then stared at Tarona’s eyes with interest and said

“It was actually quite strange that the Fallen Saint on your side ran away last time. With the strength of the empire, it shouldn’t have happened. In the end, the Fallen Saint found out about it. This time it was even more exaggerated. With your preparations, it almost led to the destruction of an entire city.”

Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Tarona’s beautiful eyes darkened and she couldn’t help but sigh.
“Your Majesty has seen the changes in Yongling City. We can see our current situation from here. In fact, the main structure of the empire is still maintained. Although local tyrants have the tendency to secede, they are still nominally loyal to the emperor…”

Having said that, Tarona also discovered that the rhythm at this moment was completely controlled by the opponent.

After paying so much compensation, she also wanted to take the opportunity to mention the advantages of the empire and see what the other party wanted to do. The empire could help to make connections.

I never expected that just a few words would put me in a passive position.

But as she said herself, the other party knew about the incident in Yongling City from the very beginning. Combined with the current situation, one can easily guess the predicament of the empire, so it would be better to be honest.

“Is it a cabinet problem? Well, let me think about it. Among the ten venerables in your cabinet, is there anyone who has reached the semi-god realm and cannot make any progress?”

Tao Yu tapped his hands, and looking at Tarona’s expression, he knew that he had guessed right.

“Tongshenlu is indeed Tianran’s most trusted subordinate. You are all checked and controlled by the Guide. He can use his superior power to drive you off the Divine Path and bring you down from the altar when necessary.”

Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Tarona pursed her lips and said nothing. It was precisely because of this that the ten Divine Road Venerables in the cabinet would be so “loyal”!
“But now that the Emperor has run into trouble, things are different. If the demigods who have reached the end of the road find that the road ahead is blocked and they cannot move forward at all, or if the road ahead suddenly becomes clear, then that would be a problem. However, only the demigods on this road know this…”

Although the demigod stage has reached its end, it does not mean that there is no way to improve further.

As long as the guide keeps moving forward, the demigod can follow behind and rise with him.

Many of the main gods’ subordinates have been through this since the beginning of the gods, and this system has long been mature.

but……

There are also cases where the guide will suffer backlash after encountering serious problems…

–

“The Crown Prince, the Head of the Administration, and the Commander of the Northern Army have all reached the level of demigods… the Iron Triangle is in balance.”

After Tao Yu herself had already noticed the problem, Tarona simply stopped hiding it. She came here with sincerity this time, so she might as well be sincere to the end!
Now Tarona’s purpose is very clear, she wants to win over Tao Yu, the true god ally.

Tao Yu doesn’t even need to take action. Just an appropriate statement is enough to suppress all kinds of unrest, at least in the short term!

Among the ten people in the Imperial Cabinet today, the eldest prince who is the prime minister, the head of the Administration Bureau, and the commander of the Northern Army, the strongest of the four legions, are all demigods.

Only the three of them knew exactly what they had sensed.

Although the eldest prince is the Emperor’s biological son, the commander of the Northern Legion has always prided himself on being loyal, and the head of the Administration Bureau is also deeply trusted by the Emperor, so they were all supported all the way to becoming demigods.

On the surface, the three of them still talked about the emperor’s kindness.

But in fact, the three parties have already begun to compete secretly, and have also begun to actively win over the other seven members of the cabinet.

The eldest prince was assigned to the Southern Border Legion, the head of the Administration Bureau was assigned to the Western Border Legion, and the Northern Border Legion Commander was assigned to the Eastern Border Legion Commander, so they could sit in a row just right.

The remaining Second Prince, the Chief of the Court of Inquisition, the Minister of Justice, Princess Tarona, and the Minister of Finance, Princess Trilis, simply reached an alliance, forming the fragile balance within the cabinet today.

The cabinet, which is the core of the government, is in such a weird situation. The situation in other divine paths for those local tyrants who only obey orders and not announcements is naturally even more complicated.

There are also various city-states that are trying to establish their own separatist regimes, as well as foreign forces and believers of evil gods in the dark.

This really gave Tarona a headache.

But the others could change their appearance, but the two princesses Talona and Cui Lisi had no way out. That is, the maternal families of Talona and Cui Lisi were not weak, and the second prince was still the son of Princess Cui Lisi, and he relied on the power of his maternal family to maintain the current situation.

“Although the Mousse family is my mother’s family, the clan leader also has his own considerations and cannot be deeply involved in such changes in the royal court. Now, it is indeed neither up nor down…”

Princess Talona folded her hands in her lap and sighed.

“You are sincere. Aren’t you afraid that I am the ultimate mastermind behind this?”

Tao Yu said playfully.

“Because if you are, I have no ability to resist and can only let you do whatever you want. If you are not, then you are the true god with the most innocent background.”

Tarona looked at Tao Yu sincerely and naturally placed her hand on the back of Tao Yu’s hand.

Tao Yu’s fingers scratched the white and tender skin, and her eyebrows raised.

“The princess has made great sacrifices…”

Could it be that you want to be the prime minister?
But what’s so good about being the Prime Minister of the Glorious Empire…

Tao Yu let go of his hand and stood up.

“I have nothing to do, so let’s take a look at the situation first. At the moment, I don’t feel that you have deceived me.”

I came here to earn extra money, so it doesn’t matter where I earn money…

At this moment, another voice came from a distance.
“The Lord of Binhai City, Ross, is here to pay his respects…”

However, as soon as the voice appeared, Tao Yu raised his finger.

The figure in the sky was instantly dragged to Tao Yu by a powerful force and pressed to the ground!
With the strength and status of Venerable Shenlu, if he were pinned to the ground and started struggling, the entire floating city would collapse.

But he seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, lying on the ground, unable to move.

The person on the ground was an old man in a red robe with a thin face. He should have looked dignified, but after being pinned down by Tao Yu, he looked embarrassed.

However, Ross did not dare to complain at all when Tao Yu pinned him to the ground. He just begged for mercy in a somewhat lamenting tone.

“I don’t know how I have offended the Supreme God. Please let me know. I will definitely correct it…”

Tao Yu looked down at Ross, with a gleam in his eyes.
“Heh, you’ve been wandering outside the city for so long. Could those evil god believers be related to you?”

Tao Yu spoke in a casual tone.

Princess Tarona, who was about to say something, suddenly changed her expression and became increasingly serious.

“God, you misunderstood! I am just worried about the situation here and dare not show up rashly. I have always been very careful. Yongling City is behind my Binhai City. The fires of civilization are interdependent and interconnected, which can ensure the smooth flow of trade routes. Once Yongling City falls, it will not benefit me at all…”

Ross said eagerly, and his statement made perfect sense.

When the incident happened in Yongling City, the Mist Whale appeared inland.

However, Tao Yu didn’t care about so many things, although he concealed it very well and there was not much aura on his body.

But there is no doubt that Ross himself has a faint smell of evil god pollution in his bones.

It should be that he borrowed the power of the evil god when he broke through a key level.

Perhaps when he borrowed it, he was just using it for his own benefit. Afterwards, he tried his best to avoid the evil god and kept it under control.

Even other gods would probably find it difficult to detect the evil in his bones.

But Tao Yu is different. As long as he is contaminated with even a little bit of it, he will never be able to deceive Tao Yu’s eyes in his life.

“The Fallen Saint of Yongling City has been under your watch for so long. Wouldn’t you know nothing about handing over this rear area to him? Perhaps, he borrowed the method of the evil god from you. With the other party’s most core secret in hand, you can rest assured…”

Tao Yu stared at the other person, and after feeling his emotional fluctuations, he also completed the confirmation.

“He was able to escape before, so someone higher up must have gotten the news and told him in advance. Let me think about it. Since you are so cautious, you probably didn’t lead him on his way yourself. Did you arrange for someone else to lead him there, or did you guide him secretly?”

The Lord of the Divine Road has already touched upon the underlying rules of the abyss, and coupled with the Divine Road being carried by his will, it would be difficult to thoroughly search its soul.

But with the blessing brought by the dreamer, Tao Yu was able to judge the truth through emotional fluctuations under such constant testing.

One by one, the constant probing words made Ross’s face become paler and uglier.

“…It seems that this is it.”

Tao Yu stopped asking questions. Ross didn’t say a word, but it was as if he had been opened by Tao Yu.

This also directly broke the defense of Ross who was lying on the ground.
“You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something! You are just trying to make peace with that bitch Talona in order to seize the empire! I tell you, this is wishful thinking! You staged this disaster yourself in order to empty the treasury and get a reward!”

He then quickly added
“Before I came here, I had already contacted the adults of the Nine Heavens Divine Road to seek justice. There are also adults in the cabinet who support me. I also have gods behind me!”

Hearing this, Tao Yu also sighed.
“It turns out there are internal and external troubles…”

Then he crushed his fingers, and Ross instantly turned into a pool of blood. A faint remnant of power emerged and was grabbed by Tao Yu, who refined it in an instant.

[Wind] is not pure wind magic, but it involves the original wind of earth, fire, feng shui!
Although this guy is still on this road, and a lot of it has been released along with his death, but as Tao Yu absorbs it, his eyes still light up slightly.

“Not bad, it can be integrated into the Four Symbols Seal, but it’s a little bit unbalanced, so we need to improve the other items as well.”

Then, deification!
He had just made a fortune, and this new power was also a windfall, so Tao Yu used it without any hesitation.

But Princess Tarona next to her had her eyes twitching slightly. At first she thought the other person’s eyes were not right and wanted to try other means.

Who would have thought that he was a cynical person on the surface, but in fact he was cruel and ruthless.

Without any evidence at all, he killed a powerful god-level warrior with just a few words, and unscrupulously devoured the remaining power of the other party.

Is it because they have similar paths that can be used for deduction?
Isn’t Ross of the Wind attribute…

But no matter what the reason is, Tao Yu is now even more mysterious in the eyes of Princess Tarona than before.

“Killing him directly like this might indeed cause some trouble. It would be better if there is evidence. Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives might report it to the Pantheon for arbitration, which would be more trouble than gain.”

Tarona reminded from the side.

“After all, this world is about strength.”

Tao Yu chuckled.

Even if you produce complete evidence, your claim will be easily overturned if you are not strong enough. However, as long as you are strong enough to suppress the person behind the other party, others will recognize you as long as you produce a bag of laundry detergent!
If there is no true God behind Ross to help him, then his death would be in vain.

If there is, it actually depends on who is stronger!
Tao Yu is not sure how deep the Nine Heavens Divine Road is.

However, I don’t know what the strength on paper is, but the battle line will not lie.

After the fall of Ming Shen, they continued to cover up the truth, always keeping their eyes on the heart of the world, and then on the lame Glory Empire.

This actually determines their level.

Although there are many people, most of them are false gods, and one of the four true gods is dead.

So Tao Yu thought he could handle this situation.

As for the empire…

It’s still the same problem as before. They are afraid that the Emperor may be secretly making trouble for them, so they won’t let his strength exceed their ability to deal with it.

“I just got [Wind], so I think there must be [Earth], [Fire], and [Water] here too. The Endless Sea is really a great place. I haven’t even entered yet…”

For a moment, Tao Yu also became quite expectant.

He would not do anything that would directly kill people for no reason to seize power.

But if it falls into your hands, you can’t blame yourself.

Evil demons and heretics should be punished by everyone…
