Chapter 2049 The New Emperor Succeeds to the Throne and New Discoveries Are Made!
"Crash!"
At the same time, countless carrier pigeons flew in all directions from the capital. This unprecedented great change in the Tang Dynasty also followed these carrier pigeons flying in all directions and to various countries.
"well!"
After receiving the great changes in the Tang Dynasty and the fall of the Holy Emperor, in the Uzang Palace, Dalun Qinling held the letter in his hand, looked up to the sky, and let out a deep sigh.
The fall of the Holy Emperor was definitely an unprecedented surprise to all the countries, and the death of Wang Jiuling and Yao Chong was definitely an unexpected gain. However, there was no joy on Dalu Qinling's face, only one kind Unspeakable melancholy.
The Holy Emperor of the Tang Empire and the two prime ministers were rivals, but they were also heroes. Wuszang once killed each other with these people, but he also created a great era with them.
Heroes are always worthy of respect from everyone!
"Pass my order and immediately send a large-scale envoy to the Imperial Capital of the Tang Dynasty to pay homage to the Holy Emperor. During the funeral, Wu Zang and Tang Qiu did not commit any crimes!"
Da Lun Qin Ling said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
…
The atmosphere in the entire Tang Dynasty was solemn, and everyone was immersed in grief.
And in the Tai Chi Hall, Eunuch Gao announced the Holy Emperor's last edict.
"It's up to heaven, the emperor decreed:"
"Now there are five sons to succeed the crown prince. From my observation, Prince Li Heng has a loyal character, extraordinary intelligence, and a heart of benevolence. He is the best choice for the throne of the country!"
"I am now here to tell you that I hope he will be a wise king who loves the people and will live up to my trust and the expectations of all the people in the world. I admire this!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
…
In the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground and bowed.
Above the main hall, Eunuch Gao, whose green hair had long since turned gray, and who looked more than ten years older, read out the imperial edict, nodded, and then said:
"After discussion by the Ministry of Rites, the enthronement ceremony of Prince Li Heng will be held after the seven-day funeral and the Holy Emperor's coffin has been placed in the mausoleum!"
…
Everything was established. Under the will of the Holy Emperor, Prince Li Heng finally succeeded to the throne and became the next true emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
The funeral of the Holy Emperor was organized by the Ministry of Etiquette and held in the grandest manner. Jiu Gong and Yao Chong also obtained the permission of Prince Li Heng, and also obtained the consent of the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accompany the mausoleum together. He was buried in the mausoleum of the Holy Emperor, accompanying him around.
One monarch and two ministers created a relationship between monarch and minister that is respected by the world!
…
Time passed slowly, and everything was proceeding step by step. A few days later, in a huge ceremony, and in the memory and respect of countless people, the coffins of the Holy Emperor, Jiu Gong and Yao Chong were buried together. to the imperial mausoleum.
"Boom!"
Deep underground in the imperial tomb,
With a loud noise, when the door made of thick broken dragon steel weighing more than 100,000 kilograms fell heavily, an era also ended!
And just a few days later, the white-haired and much older Eunuch Gao appeared in Wang Chong's mansion for the first time after his funeral.
"These are what His Majesty asked me to leave to you before he died."
Gao Lishi looked at Wang Chong in front of him and said.
As Gao Lishi spoke, he placed a golden copper box about one foot in his hand on Wang Chong's table.
The copper box was locked and sealed and had obviously never been opened.
"This is the key. Your Majesty said that after everything is over, you will open this box yourself. No one, including me, is allowed to touch the contents of the box."
As soon as Gao Lishi's voice fell, he placed another brass key next to the golden copper box.
After doing all this, Gao Lishi turned around and walked out.
"Eunuch Gao!"
Looking at Gao Lishi's melancholy and sad back, Wang Chong couldn't help but stop him, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Where are you going, father-in-law?"
Now that the Holy Emperor is dead, that is the prince Gao Lishi has seen growing up. Now the era has come to an end and everything is over.
Wang Chong has heard that Gao Lishi has submitted his resignation to Prince Li Heng and is preparing to retire and retire.
However, everyone actually knows that Gao Lishi actually grew up in a deep palace, and the so-called retirement and seclusion is just an excuse.
"I am old. Your Majesty is not here, so I have my own place to go. But don't worry, there are still things in this world that I miss, and I will always silently watch this world become what Your Majesty wants it to be."
After saying this, Gao Lishi turned his back to Wang Chong and left quickly.
Wang Chong stood there in shock, speechless for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but the hall was silent. Wang Chong turned around and finally looked at the golden copper box that Gao Lishi placed on the table.
Wang Chong walked straight away, hesitating in his heart and not opening the box rashly.
He stretched out his palm and gently touched the golden copper box. Feeling the cold touch from the golden copper box, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and a deep sadness arose again.
Scenes from the past came to mind again, and the Holy Emperor's support, love and trust in him appeared before his eyes as if it were yesterday.
The person who had left was so kind to him and was the person he respected and loved the most in his life. However, at the last moment of his life, he could do nothing but watch this man who had been admired by all people for eternity... The emperor slowly fell and died.
The feeling of weakness and pain is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, hurting into the bone marrow.
"His Majesty!"
Wang Chong murmured in his heart and slowly closed his eyes. His body remained motionless, but his fingers had already tightened unconsciously. His nails dug into the flesh, and a wisp of blood seeped out from his palm. Amidst the ticking sound, a drop of blood A drop fell to the ground.
If only he were powerful enough!
How great it would be if he could save the Holy Emperor!
It's a pity that he can't do any of this. He can only witness everything happening again like in his previous life, but he can't do anything about it.
The feeling that Wang Chong couldn't do anything was heartbreaking!
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong closed his eyes silently, biting his lips until they bled, and at this moment, a sudden change occurred:
"Severe mood swings detected! Strong obsessions and desires are felt in the host!"
"Special event! The power of destiny is responding!"
"waiting……"
"...It was discovered that the host has the ability of 'fire'. In the evolutionary fusion of the Stone of Destiny's ability, the host has a chance to fuse a method to preserve the destiny body No. 9. Do you want to try it?"
Hearing these words, Wang Chong was shocked. The Stone of Destiny actually responded to his wishes. This was something Wang Chong never expected.
But what excited and shocked him the most was the information revealed by the Stone of Destiny.
There is actually a chance of saving the Holy Emperor!
"agree!"
Wang Chong almost did not hesitate.
"The Xinhuo ability is being analyzed."
After receiving a positive reply, the voice of the Stone of Destiny sounded again.
"The analysis is over. There is a three-in-10,000 chance that the host can evolve 'Xinhuo' into 'Soul Fire'! This process requires consuming one hundred thousand destiny energy points, and there is a high probability of failure. Will the host try it?"
The sound of the Stone of Destiny sounded again.
One hundred thousand destiny energy points!
Huge failure rate!
According to the information revealed by the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong needed to try at least ten thousand times and consume one billion destiny energy points to succeed three times.
Such a low success rate is tantamount to telling Wang Chong that this is impossible in the first place, but at this moment, Wang Chong can no longer care about so much.
"Agree! Evolve into 'Soul Fire' immediately!"
Wang Chong said without hesitation.
"The exchange is successful! The host has consumed 100,000 destiny energy points, the Stone of Destiny is being analyzed, and the 'Xinhuo' is evolving..."
The emotionless voice of the Stone of Destiny quickly sounded in Wang Chong's mind.
Wang Chong did not speak, but waited silently with infinite hope.
There is no doubt that the first time failed.
"Attention, parsing failed!"
"Warning, Fire Evolution has a huge failure rate and very little success. It is recommended that the host stop trying!"
The familiar voice of the Stone of Destiny sounded.
But Wang Chong didn't hesitate at all:
"continue!"
"Evolution failed! Warning, host is advised to give up!"
In just a few seconds, the sound of the Stone of Destiny came again.
However, Wang Chong seemed not to have heard:
"continue!"
"continue!"
"continue!"
…
Wang Chong's expression was extremely cold, and he just kept repeating it over and over again.
Wang Chong's destiny energy points were consumed at an alarming rate. However, in a short period of time, Wang Chong had failed more than twenty times and consumed more than two million amazing destiny energy points.
And this unnecessary consumption continues.
"Warning, the host has consumed three million destiny energy points. Do you want to continue?"
"Warning again, the failure rate is too high, the host is advised to give up!"
The Stone Path of Destiny.
"continue"
Wang Chong still didn't hesitate at all.
"Warning, evolution failed!"
"Warning, evolution failed!"
"Warning, evolution failed!"
…
The failures continued. In this process of failures and repeated attempts, Wang Chong had completely lost track of time.
There was silence in the hall, and at this moment, time seemed to be stretched infinitely.
Just when Wang Chong thought there would be no end to this kind of failure, suddenly——
Buzz!
An unexpected voice, as if it had been waiting for millions of years, suddenly sounded in Wang Chong's mind:
"Congratulations to the host for successfully evolving into 'Soul Fire'!"
The voice was only a short sentence, but to Wang Chong's ears, it was like the sound of nature.
Wang Chong suddenly came to his senses, and the whole world seemed to regain its color.
"Soul fire!"
"Special skills can only be successfully used within seven days of the target's death!"
"Note that the law of life and death is not in destiny. The host's current ability cannot reach the point of resurrecting life. It can only preserve and nourish the soul, and wait until the time is right to survive again!"
…
At this moment, information about the soul fire also appeared in Wang Chong's mind.
Seven days!
Hearing the information revealed by Soul Fire, Wang Chong's heart shook violently.
There isn't much time left for him!
"Activate the soul fire and collect the target soul!"
Wang Chong said without hesitation.
"Note that within two days of death of an ordinary person, all souls will disappear. Warriors with strong willpower can last up to seven days. After seven days, all souls will disappear, and even soul fire will not be able to work."
"The prerequisite for launching soul fire is to find the target's remaining soul."
"In addition, casting Soul Fire requires 800,000 destiny energy points. Do you want to continue?"
The sound of the Stone of Destiny sounded again.
