My understanding defies heaven: I create laws and preach in the heavens

"The rebels are coming!"

"Run!"

"Why are you running? I've heard that wherever the rebels go, order is maintained. As long as we don't resist, we'll be fine."

The inexplicable death of Emperor Dafeng could not be concealed after all.

For a time, the defenders of the capital were in chaos. No matter how loyal they were to the Dafeng Dynasty, they had to see hope in order to have hope.

Now the emperor is dead, and died at such a critical moment——

Most of the defenders even thought that the mandate of heaven had been lost.

In addition, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to take action in the capital, entangled most of the Taoist priests, and the army outside the capital launched a sudden attack again.

This capital city, which had been run by the Dafeng Dynasty for seven or eight hundred years, collapsed.

Whoosh whoosh!

One by one, the monks entered the city first.

As those who have entered the city, they are powerful individuals and are the first to enter the city. They are often able to take control of the situation in the shortest time.

As for the Taoist priest? He was waiting outside the capital, ready to provide support at any time.

Even with Lin Yuan's training, in the past seventy years, he has only trained less than two hundred Heavenly Masters, and some of them have to suppress the states that have already been conquered.

A Taoist priest is a person of profound background and certainly cannot enter the capital easily.

Even if the city gate is breached, who knows if there are any backup plans inside that could kill the Heavenly Master.

Even if one is as strong as a Taoist priest, he is still essentially a mortal. If his arm is broken, he will be seriously injured, and if his heart or head is shattered, he will die beyond death.

No matter how strong the mental power is, it will quickly disappear without the support of the physical body.

Outside the palace.

A large group of military officers in armor were filled with excitement, looking at the magnificent palace not far away.

Thinking back on the experiences along the way now, it seems like a dream.

It went so well.

It was so smooth that it was almost unbelievable.

Since ancient times, it has been unknown how much it would cost to overthrow a dynasty.

This was only possible because batches of rebels died one after another, exhausting the dynasty's last resources.

Not to mention a dynasty like the Dafeng Dynasty which was at its peak. For such a dynasty, as long as the emperor did not commit suicide, there was almost no possibility of its collapse.

With the Dafeng Dynasty's control over various states.

There is no room for rebellion.

Even the Red Lotus Sect is a third-rate force with only ordinary practitioners in charge.

They were all quickly destroyed by the Zhendaosi's plan, not to mention other slightly more prominent rebel forces.

There is no room for survival.

However, since their "uprising", they have had smooth sailing and have hardly encountered any decent resistance.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the capital.

I originally thought that conquering the capital would be a fierce battle.

After all, after realizing that it could not resist, the Dafeng Dynasty had recalled all its forces back to the capital as much as possible.

Plus the original heritage of the capital.

It can be said to be one of the most powerful forces in the world.

But it happened at this time.

News came that Emperor Dafeng had died.

Moreover, at the critical moment, all the Taoist priests who were defending the city were dragged down and suppressed.

The outside army rushed in with just one charge.

"Have we overthrown Dae-bong?"

One of the burly generals muttered to himself.

"not us."

A middle-aged scholar glanced at the general, shook his head and said, "It's my lord."

"It was the Lord who overthrew the Dafeng Dynasty. We were just following the Lord."

The middle-aged scholar added.

As soon as these words came out.

The other many generals rarely made any rebuttal.

Those who can sit in their position naturally have good eyesight and judgment.

Since the army rebellion, everything has been going smoothly and it has not encountered any decent resistance.

Who do you rely on?

Isn't it the Lord who is behind all this?

Without the master, they can't even think of killing here.

They can't even break out of their own states.

At the beginning of the Dafeng Dynasty, they had a local army like this.

There have been many restrictions in place for a long time.

A state rebellion.

The surrounding states immediately sent troops to blockade the area.

The capital city took charge of the overall situation and carried out the suppression.

This almost eliminated the possibility of a successful rebellion.

Unless the Dafeng Dynasty really reached its end and had no control over the states.

It is obviously still very early in this regard.

Also.

They had just arrived outside the capital.

Then he heard the news of the emperor's death.

If this doesn't have something to do with the Lord, who would believe it?

The Emperor of Dafeng would have died neither early nor late.

Why did he die just when they were about to have a decisive battle?

It can be said.

In this "uprising" that overthrew the Dafeng Dynasty.

It is the master who truly makes the final decision.

With the Lord around, even if it weren't them, a tied dog could overthrow Dafeng.

If there is no master.

Even if their forces and army were ten or a hundred times stronger, they would not be able to break into the capital so easily.

"Where is the Lord now?"

Another general looked up.

After they entered the capital, they quickly took control of the city.

Then he waited outside the palace, waiting for the master to come.

Breaking into the capital and entering the palace are not the same thing.

Only the latter means truly overthrowing the rule of the Dafeng Dynasty.

But they dare not bear such an achievement.

To be honest, everyone felt that they did not play much of a role in this "uprising".

It’s not that they are incompetent, but that they simply don’t have any chance to perform.

"Wait, then."

The middle-aged scholar glanced at the many generals and waited patiently.

Without the Lord's presence, no one dared to enter the palace without permission.

a certain street.

Lin Yuan looked lost in thought.

After killing Emperor Dafeng, Lin Yuan searched the palace again to make sure that there was no second emperor hiding.

He then went to the top of the city wall and suppressed the many Taoist priests who were guarding the city wall.

This allowed the army outside to rush in smoothly.

After doing all this.

Lin Yuan never joined the main army.

Instead, he walked quietly on the streets of the capital.

The enormous mental power covers an area of ​​one kilometer in radius, and every detail is felt.

Kill the Emperor of Dafeng, and this time loop world will not end yet.

Lin Yuan easily deduced that it was the Emperor of Dafeng that he had killed.

He was not a real Dafeng emperor and was most likely a puppet.

This puppet was definitely the work of the real Emperor Dafeng, otherwise it would have been impossible to hide it from the civil and military ministers in the court, as well as many royal relatives.

How could this scene happen without the cooperation and acquiescence of the real emperor?

There are so many Taoist priests in the palace who are not blind.

There would be no such thing as the emperor being replaced quietly.

In other words.

The real Emperor Dafeng did not die.

The time cycle test originates from the supreme rules.

Absolutely fair.

It is said that if you kill the Emperor of Dafeng, you will pass the test.

That means you will definitely pass the test.

There is no possibility of changing the target midway.

"Why did the emperor deliberately train a puppet to replace himself?"

Lin Yuan thought quickly in his mind.

Throughout the dynasties of this world, there have indeed been cases where emperors have trained puppets to attend court on their behalf.

These actions basically occurred in turbulent times when the dynasty was unprecedentedly weak and the emperor had no choice but to do so in order to prevent numerous assassination attempts.

Before the uprising, the Dafeng Dynasty was at its peak. Even if Lin Yuan personally attempted the assassination, judging from the timeline, the assassination would most likely have failed.

In this case, there is no need for the emperor to train a puppet at all.

You are absolutely safe, so why should you train a puppet to replace yourself?

Even if he trains a puppet, he will not be too far away from it so that he can control it at any time.

Lin Yuan had just searched the entire palace, and now he has basically searched the entire capital, but there is no trace of the second emperor.

In other words, the real emperor is most likely not in the capital?

Cultivate a puppet emperor who is exactly the same as yourself, do not completely control him, and even leave the capital on your own initiative?

Aren’t you afraid that the puppet will become the real emperor?

In fact.

According to the information Lin Yuan has obtained over the past forty or fifty years.

This puppet emperor is actually no different from the real emperor.

He basically took control of all military and political affairs of the Dafeng Dynasty.

Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have killed the emperor the moment he saw him.

"The real Dafeng Emperor cultivated a puppet, then disappeared, allowing the puppet emperor to become the real emperor?"

Lin Yuan looked a little strange.

Could it be that the real Emperor of Dafeng does not want to be emperor?

But if he really doesn't want to be emperor, he can just abdicate and choose an emperor from the royal family to succeed him, right?

It's not that troublesome at all.

Delegate power to a puppet emperor, and once this puppet emperor gains power.

He would definitely want to kill the real emperor.

unless

Lin Yuan was thoughtful.

Unless the real Emperor Dafeng had already known that someone wanted to kill him.

That's why he escaped so quietly, leaving behind a nominal puppet to attract attention.

I don't know where to hide.

"Is this the true difficulty of the test within the time loop?"

"Did the other party already know that I wanted to kill the emperor?"

Lin Yuan concluded that this was the only way to explain the puppet emperor.

"And the real Emperor of Dafeng also deduced that he was definitely no match for me, so he had no intention of killing me in advance?"

Lin Yuan speculated deeply.

Otherwise, he would not have abandoned the throne and run away without any resistance.

Abandon the throne of Dafeng and hand over the ninety-nine states to a puppet?

Not everyone has this kind of courage.

"For the past 40 to 50 years, the daily life of the Emperor of Dafeng has been under my surveillance. Therefore, the replacement of the puppet must not have taken place within these 40 to 50 years. In other words, it was 40 to 50 years ago?"

"And cultivating a puppet that is almost identical to oneself cannot be done in a short period of time. It will take at least 20 to 30 years."

"Forty to fifty years, plus twenty to thirty years, seventy to eighty years? Close to the time point when I descended into this time loop?"

Lin Yuan stopped.

Lines of illusory fonts flashed beneath my sight.

It's a certain timeline.

The owner of this timeline is the puppet emperor killed by Lin Yuan.

This world of time cycle has an almost harsh suppression on the rules.

Lin Yuan is far from being able to establish cause and effect by just reciting the other person's name, and then view the other person's timeline through the cause and effect relationship.
