646 An ancient God! Ning Han’s proposal!

Shen lang was confused. He had just arrived.

Why were these hundreds of thousands of people cheering? There were no phones or long-distance communication systems. Zhu hongxue couldn’t have informed the people in the desert capital that Shen lang had arrived.

However, Zhu hongxue and Princess Ninghan were not surprised to see this.

When he saw Shen Lang’s shock, Zhu hongxue explained, ” “Your Majesty, I’ve told you before that the people need a leader, a hope. So, even though you’re not here, we still specially carved a statue and sat on the throne. Every day, there is a small court meeting, and every five days, there is a Grand Court meeting. Moreover, twenty-some years ago, we completed the complete restructuring, so we already have a complete court, with the Board of Ministers and the Bureau of Military Affairs.”

Shen lang was completely stunned. There was actually such a thing.

This was an ancient ruin developed by the sky-Sea Pavilion. It was a Supreme force. He did not expect it to have a complete imperial court.

Your Majesty, ” Princess Ning Han said, ” the more critical the moment is, the more formal we have to be. We must implant faith into everyone’s hearts. Otherwise, we’ll really collapse and be unable to bear it.

Shen lang could not help but think of a saying,’life needs to be ritualistic.’

Especially in such difficult times, such a ritualistic life could support people to continue living.

“Your Majesty, there’s something that I need your forgiveness for,” Zhu hongxue said.

“Please speak.” Shen lang said.

“Zhu Hong died after the battle between you and the Emperor of the great Yan Empire. However, you released Zhu Rong, Zhu Hongping, Zhu Ning, and everyone else. You didn’t condemn them or strip them of their titles.”

“That’s true. What’s wrong?” Shen lang said.

“Although I was adopted by the Zhu family, I’m still their son,” Zhu hongxue said.”That’s why I brought all of the Zhu family’s members to the desert capital when the Arctic changed. As there was a lack of talents, Zhu Rong reentered the Council of Ministers and became the temporary Deputy Minister of the great Qian Empire.”

“Then who is the first Prime Minister?” Shen lang asked.

teacher Zuo Ci will be in charge of it personally, ” Zhu hongxue replied. the other two vice-ministers are also scholars from the sky-Sea Pavilion, Zuo Yan and Li guangdou. Does your Majesty still remember Zhang Zhao? ”

Shen lang thought for a while and finally remembered this person.

Zhang Zhao had been the commander of tianyue city in the beginning and had always been loyal to the crown Prince. After the fall of the Crown Prince, ning Yi, he had been loyal to the Zhu family and had never changed his position since. After the battle of tianyue city, he had also been imprisoned. After Shen lang defeated the Emperor of Dayan, all the prisoners of the Zhu family were released. Zhang Zhao was also released and demoted to a commoner.

the sky-Sea Pavilion used to be a martial arts force, ” Zhu hongxue said. it’s very difficult to form a national force. That’s why master Zhang Zhao was summoned into the court and became the Deputy Minister of the Council of Ministers.

Shen lang said,”who is Shu mi envoy?”

“No one will take the position. Teacher Zuo Ci will take the position,” Zhu hongxue said.

“What about you?” Shen lang asked.

“I don’t hold a position in the Bureau of Military Affairs,” Zhu hongxue replied.

Shen lang understood what Zhu hongxue meant. The exiled imperial court of the great Qian Empire was built on the foundation of the sky-Sea Pavilion. Zhu Rong was originally a prisoner, but he was now a Minister. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu hongxue would not be in the Bureau of Military Affairs. Furthermore, he liked the feeling of fighting outside.

; What about Qianqian; Zhu Hongping, and Zhu Ning?”Shen lang asked.

Shen lang said,”because you said something to Zhu Hong. You won’t kill Zhu Hongping and Zhu Ning, but you won’t use them either.” That’s why they didn’t hold any official positions. Zhu Hongping was the Secretary, while Zhu Ning was in charge of the literature Club, sorting out ancient materials.”

A few hundred people were still hovering above the city. They wanted Shen lang to see the city clearly.

This city was really huge. The edges of the city had been reduced to ruins and sand dunes. The closer to the center of the city, the more green it was.

When they reached the center of the city, it was completely lush, like a tropical garden.

Moreover, the architectural style of this city was completely different from that of the ancient Eastern Empire and The Lost Empire. Instead, it was very similar to the fiery city above the magma sea.

It wasn’t gorgeous, but it was very magnificent, mysterious, and simple.

It should have a very long history, even longer than the ancient Eastern Empire.

All of the houses were built from giant rocks, without any wood. The shape of the buildings was very primitive, but they were extremely tall, tens to hundreds of meters tall.

These stone pillars were usually about three to four meters in diameter. A few of them were enough to support the entire magnificent building.

In the center of the city was a magnificent pyramid. It was as tall as a mountain and took up almost half of the city.

There was a statue at the top of the pyramid. It was a familiar statue.

He was the male with a human face and a snake body that Shen lang had seen in the ancient temple. He was filled with a murderous aura.

However, this human-faced snake-bodied totem statue was much larger and more ferocious. It held a demon fork and glared at the sky.

Shen lang felt strange. Why would this totem appear here?

“We don’t know what his name is, so we call him Wangtian.” “He used to be the totem of the entire ancient Eastern Empire and was regarded as an ancestor,” Princess Ning Han said.

Shen lang had always been curious about this. Why did the ancient empire worship this statue and treat it as their ancestor?

Back when they were in the ancient ruins on the Vajra peak, Shen lang was already puzzled.

Medusa was a female with a human face and a snake body, and the totem of their ancestor was a male with a human face and a snake body. However, none of the humans in the ancient Eastern Empire had the characteristics of a human face and a snake body.

This was a crucial point. Why did the ancestors that the human empires of the East worshipped look so similar to the Medusa royal family?

“Your Majesty,” Princess Ning Han said,”you’re so intelligent, you must have an answer in your heart, right?”

Shen lang could not help but look at Princess Ninghan again. He looked at her face and then at her waist.

As a human, Princess Ning Han’s figure was too demonic and devilish, especially the curves of her waist, which didn’t seem like a human’s.

This new body of hers was indeed too wonderful.

It was obvious that Princess Ning Han knew quite a bit, because Empress Medusa had revealed some key information to her.

Also, why was the Empire of Queen Medusa called The Lost Empire?

This was the real name of their empire, not the name of the future.

Under what circumstances would it be called The Lost Empire? It had once been destroyed, but was reborn again. However, it could never find the glory of its ancestors, so it was called The Lost Empire.

And why were there no males in the Medusa race? Without mating, what would they rely on to reproduce?

“The Royal Medusa of The Lost Empire has a longer history than the humans of the ancient Eastern Empire, right?” Shen lang asked.

“Yes,” Princess Ning Han replied.

actually, ” Shen lang continued, ” the great Nirvana did not happen once. It happened twice.

“That’s right,” Princess Ning Han replied.

Yes, this made sense.

When the sun was on the verge of death, it would definitely counterattack more than once, but it would only become more and more intense and serious.

90 years later, it would be its last counterattack before its death, and the result would be the destruction of the entire planet.

Shen lang said, ” in the previous two great disasters, the human civilization was reborn. The Lost Empire was also reborn. However, the human empire of the great ruins was constantly changing, while The Lost Empire had almost never changed. It had always maintained its most primitive state. To a certain extent, the human empire seems to be regressing.”

“That’s right,” Princess Ning Han said,”in order to adapt to the new world’s environment, the humans on the continent have been constantly transforming, from ancient human forms with powerful martial strength to the ordinary human forms of today. The Lost Empire, on the other hand, has been maintaining the Medusa form with a human face and a snake body. They have been relying on their powerful martial strength and spirit.”

Shen lang said,”in other words, the desert capital is an even more distant ancient ruin, even earlier than the ancient Eastern Empire?” Is it the city before the great Nirvana?”

“It should be, Your Majesty,” Princess Ning Han said.

Shen lang looked at this majestic city. It looked so simple and ancient. He could not imagine how long it had been there.

Back then, when he was in fiery flame city, Shen lang was very curious. That was the Western world, the territory of The Lost Empire. How did fiery flame city, a city that was obviously a human empire, survive?

Shen lang continued to look at the center of the city and the totem of a male with a human face and a snake body on the top of the giant pyramid.

He felt a tremendous power, especially his eyes, which were looking at the sky.

Shen lang thought of the statue of Queen Medusa. She relied on that pair of eyes to continuously transmit spiritual information from far away, regrouping the sea monsters in this world and allowing some of them to evolve. They possessed intelligence and allowed The Lost Empire to continue its legacy.

It was obvious that this heaven-gazing totem might have the same goal.

However, it was clear that he had not succeeded. At the very least, his Empire in the vast desert had been completely destroyed and reduced to ruins.

Instantly, Shen Lang’s mind was filled with countless questions.

What was the relationship between this human-faced, snake-bodied male race and the Medusa royal family?

What did they have to do with the ancient humans?

“This heaven-gazing totem protects the entire desert capital, right?” Shen lang asked.

Princess Ning Han said, ” that’s right. It’s precisely because of the protection of this heaven-gazing totem that this last city-state was able to survive in the great desert. Not only do they have an oasis, but they can also resist the invasion of the sandstorm. Most importantly, they can completely hide themselves. No enemy will be able to find the entrance.

The Medusa royal family had strong mental power and could create all kinds of illusions.

The lost demon mother had only obtained a fraction of Queen Medusa’s spirit energy, but she had already established the second Lost Empire. Even after she died, she still ruled the ruins of The Lost Country for countless years. Shen lang had already witnessed her ability to create illusions.

And the huge human-faced snake-bodied male totem in front of him released a powerful mental energy, hiding and folding the entire desert capital.

One could imagine that once the energy of the skygazing totem was exhausted …

The entire desert capital would be exposed and the Army of the Jiangli Empire would be able to find it easily.

Not only that, but once the energy of the heaven-gazing totem was exhausted, the ecosystem here would also be completely destroyed. The entire city would be completely buried by the wind and sand within a few years, turning into the same as the other great deserts.

Shen lang closed his eyes again. Did this mean that this 130 million square kilometers of desert was also a powerful empire in the ancient times?

And the race that ruled this place had a human face and snake body, a race that was very similar to the lost Empire? Only a male?

………………………………………………

Shen lang saw the palace, which was to the South of the giant pyramid.

Furthermore, this Palace was completely new and almost identical to the great Qian Palace. It was almost a one-to-one copy, which was very special in this ancient ruins City State.

The court Assembly was currently in progress, and there were really all the civil and military officials present.

On the throne, there was really a statue of Shen lang.

They were too similar. Be it his face, form, or aura, he was exactly the same as Shen lang.

Moreover, this statue wasn’t serious at all. Even though it was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, it looked very lazy. Its arms were even supporting its chin, giving off a feeling that it didn’t want to listen.

It was too real. Although it was just a statue, it felt like a real person.

At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court were seriously discussing political affairs, and they were not bluffing, but very professional.

The square outside the palace was densely packed with golden-armored warriors.

Shen lang had vaguely seen this scene before. It was in the stupa Palace on stupa mountain. At that time, the sect master also wanted to transform stupa mountain into a temporary imperial residence, and there were also specialized officials.

The sky-Sea Pavilion seemed to be avoiding this, so they tried to fill the court with officials of Yue country and tried not to let people from the sky-Sea Pavilion become officials.

However, there was still a fundamental difference between this place and stupa mountain.

When sect leader Ren established the stupa Palace, the great Qian Empire was still alive. Not only was Qianjing still there, but so was raging tide city.

At this time, raging tide city was gone. Qian capital, Tian Yue city, Yan capital, and all the other places had fallen.

As a result, the desert capital, which was a Pure Land, had indeed become the Orthodox lineage of the great Qian Empire.

Just like the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty had occupied most of the area, where the Yongli Emperor was, was the orthodoxy of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and where the imperial capital was.

Although the great Qian Palace was far away from Shen lang, his body was extremely strong. He could see the Imperial court with just a look.

Suddenly, he saw many familiar faces. He had seen them in the Imperial court of Yue State. Most of them were officials of the Zhu Department. However, after the battle of tianyue city, the guilty officials of the Zhu Department were all killed. The remaining officials did not commit any private crimes. They were only arrested and imprisoned for the sake of taking sides.

After Shen lang defeated the Emperor of Great Yan, none of the officials of the Zhu lineage had committed any crimes and were all released. However, they did not seem to have any place to stay in Yue country.

When Zhu hongxue took away Zhu Rong, Zhu Hongping, Zhu Ning, and the others, he also brought this group of people who had no foothold here.

However, they did not expect that they would become the last subjects who were loyal to Shen lang and the great Qian Empire.

The creation of this world was too bizarre.

Shen lang would never have thought that the officials of the Zhu family would become his loyal subjects.

Shen lang could not help but recall Zhu Hong’s kneeling before his death. He cried out, ” Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was afraid of being rejected by the Eastern Orthodox lineage.

Zhu Hong was loyal to the great Yan Empire. However, after Shen lang defeated the Emperor of Great Yan, he replaced him and became the legitimate ruler of the East. Therefore, Zhu Hong would naturally be loyal to Shen lang. However, he had no chance and no face, so he could only die.

However, even if he died, Zhu Hong was not willing to be expelled from Dongfang Shi’s position.

Therefore, after Zhu hongzhu died, Shen lang did not strip him of his title and was willing to acknowledge him as a scholar of the eastern dynasty.

“Your Majesty, do you want to see your subjects?” Zhu hongxue asked, trembling. He had been dreaming of this day for a long time.

Shen lang realized that Pavilion master Zuo Ci was not in the hall.

teacher went to find you. He would never believe that you’re dead. Princess Ning Han replied, ” because you met with the Emperor of Great Yan before you went to the Yan capital to fight. You had a secret conversation with him. It was this secret conversation that filled him with hope. It also filled us with hope. “Thus, in the past ten years, he has been searching for you all over the world. Outside of the darkness Empire, he has searched almost every mysterious place.”

Zhu hongxue continued to ask,”Your Majesty, do you want to meet your subjects?” Do you want to meet your hundreds of thousands of people?”

The morning court in the desert capital was very solemn. Not only did all the officials have to kowtow, but even the hundreds of thousands of people had to kneel outside the great Qian Palace.

Decades passed like a day. Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of survivors were extremely loyal and fanatical to Shen lang.

Zuo Ci used this sense of ceremony to emphasize Chen Lang’s status, as if he was a God.

At this moment, the kowtow had ended, but the court session continued. However, the hundreds of thousands of people outside the palace were still unwilling to leave. They stood quietly in the square, as if they were listening to the Holy teachings.

Shen Lang’s mythical behavior should be wrong most of the time. However, at this moment of despair, it could unite the people.

Shen lang shook his head and said, ” I will go and meet them. But not now. I will go and meet them after I recover my original face and body. I don’t want to disappoint them.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” “When will it be?” Zhu hongxue asked.

He was really impatient.

Shen lang thought for a while and said, ” at least three days later. There will be a big show in the next three days. It will be very interesting.

Jiang Li’s Secret letter said that he had sent a person in disguise to the desert capital. If Shen lang did not expose him within three days, the desert capital would be in danger. (The three days mentioned here referred to the three days after Shen lang entered the desert capital.)

This was the first game between Shen lang and Jiang Li.

Moreover, this was Shen Lang’s home ground. If he could not defeat Jiang Li from tens of thousands of miles away, what hope would there be for the rest of the battles?

“Take me to a secret place to stay. I won’t see anyone.” Shen lang said,”if I’m not wrong, the show will start before this evening.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Zhu hongxue replied.

Then, Zhu hongxue and Ning Han brought Shen lang to a building on the west side of the Great Pyramid and settled down there.

“Your Majesty, you were supposed to live in the palace or the Great Pyramid in the center.” “But you don’t want to show your face in advance, so you can’t go to the palace,” Zhu hongxue said. And only teacher can open the Great Pyramid, so I can only let you live here for now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

“No problem!” Shen lang said.

Then, Shen lang and Princess Shen Yue stayed in this ancient building.

The female warrior under Princess Ning Han’s command became a temporary maidservant and took care of the two’s lives. Countless delicious food, countless clothes, and countless resources were sent in like a flowing water.

Zhu hongxue, the great general, became the gatekeeper. He guarded the gate and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

……………………………………

Inside the tall window, Shen lang and Princess Ning Han stood side by side and looked at the scenery outside.

“This city is very primitive and simple. It can’t compare to the exquisiteness of the eastern Empire and The Lost Empire, but it has another kind of soul-stirring beauty.” Princess Ning Han said.

“They have a purer aesthetic point of view,” Shen lang said.

“Your Majesty, you said that there’s a big show that’s going to start before this evening?” Princess Ning Han asked.

yes, ” Shen lang said. if I’m not wrong, that’s what it will be.

“What if the acting fails?” Ning Han asked.

the entire desert capital will be destroyed, ” Shen lang said. the last hope of humanity will be lost.

“Is this a battle between you and Emperor Jiang?” Princess Ning Han asked.

yes, ” Shen lang said. furthermore, this is my home ground. He is challenging me on my home ground.

Princess Ninghan looked at the sun in the sky. It was already after noon, but the sun was slightly setting in the West.

The two of them waited in silence.

“Will it definitely happen when the sun sets?” Ning Han said.

“Yes,” Shen lang said,”that person has always been full of ceremony.” I’m getting to know him better. He’ll definitely start a big show when the sun sets.”

The sun was setting.

In the vast expanse of yellow sand, the setting sun was especially beautiful.

It looked so big, so red, so beautiful.

Although it was a desert, it was not covered by the Jiangli Empire, there were no hell crystals, no ice and snow, and no low temperature of hundreds of degrees. Therefore, it was still a Pure Land for humans, a Land of Light.

The sun was already setting.

However, the drama that Shen lang was talking about did not happen.

The entire desert capital remained the same.

The atmosphere became a little tense.

As if to ease the tense atmosphere, Princess Ning Han suddenly said, ” “Your Majesty, you must be mentally prepared. When my teacher returns, he will propose to you on my behalf.”

Shen lang was stunned.

Propose? Maintain the previous engagement?

Maintain the marriage agreement between Jiang Li and ning yuanxian? To let Shen lang marry Ning Han?

However, Jiang Li had already become the destroyer of the world. Was there still a need to continue the engagement?

At this critical stage of the world, who would care about such a small thing as love?

“This marriage wasn’t just set by father ning yuanxian and Jiang Li,” Princess Ning Han said.”It might even involve a deeper level of marriage.”

And at this moment!

Two black shadows appeared in the setting sun!

it’s here, ” Shen lang said. the shocking show is about to start.

The first battle between Shen lang and Jiang Li was about to start. He was filled with excitement and confidence.
