in the secret room,
Besides Ning Fengzhi, there were many other people Tang Yi didn't recognize, and of course, he wouldn't bother to recognize them.
"Sect Leader Ning, what is this?"
Tang Yi seemed to be the last to arrive, and his appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.
There were about 30 people present, all with strong presence and distinct personalities, seemingly elites from various fields.
What kind of opera is Ning Fengzhi performing?
"Brother Rongrong, you are a hero!"
"Come, come, take a seat of honor!"
Upon seeing his arrival, Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up to personally greet him and forcefully demanded that Tang Yi take the seat of honor.
To appear more intimate, Ning Fengzhi still addressed her as "Brother Rongrong," using the reference to his daughter, Ning Rongrong.
Tang Yi naturally didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down in the main seat, letting Ye Lingling sit to his left.
The crowd's eyes flickered, but they were all old foxes; their expressions, however, remained largely unchanged.
"Brother Rongrong, let me introduce myself to you."
"This is Marshal Goron, and this is..."
Ning Fengzhi introduced them one by one, and sure enough, they were all high-ranking officials of the Heaven Dou Empire. Tang Yi was surprised to know such minor figures, and he became somewhat interested.
His introduction was very brief.
It seems that Ning Fengzhi had already introduced Tang Yi to these people before Tang Yi arrived.
"Yes, I've heard so much about you."
Tang Yi made up some polite remarks, his mind elsewhere.
There was a slight awkward silence.
The crowd exchanged glances, their eyes urging Ning Fengzhi on.
Ning Fengzhi, seemingly forced into the situation, suddenly showed a look of grief:
"What a pity... how tragic, how lamentable!"
"The vast empire of the Heavenly Dou Empire is gone!"
"Brother Rongrong, do you know?"
"The one kneeling before you today is not the real emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, but an imposter from the Spirit Hall, a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
"That false emperor replaced the crown prince with a cat, stole the land, and slaughtered loyal ministers. We, the loyal and righteous, weep day and night!"
"It's hateful that as that false emperor's teacher, I failed to notice the flaws, leading to the destruction of such a vast empire in a single day!"
"I am guilty!"
Ning Fengzhi was filled with grief and indignation, his words dripping with blood. As he spoke, he even threatened to smash his head against a pillar and commit suicide to prove his innocence.
"Sect Master Ning!"
"Sect Leader Ning! This is not your fault! It is the false emperor who is truly cunning."
As if they had rehearsed this beforehand, the people around Ning Fengzhi quickly grabbed him and kept trying to persuade him.
The performance was so convincing that Ye Lingling was completely stunned.
Tang Yi: "..."
Expressionless, speechless
How could he not know that the emperor was an imposter? He had known all along that the crown prince was an imposter.
"Brother Rongrong, you really gave us a great time in the ring today!"
"Let's ruthlessly crush that false emperor's arrogance!"
"You've returned, and the heavens have returned... You must uphold justice for us loyal and righteous people!"
"Let's set things right and restore order to the Heavenly Dou Empire!"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and perked up, launching into a barrage of flattery and moral blackmail.
Everyone started praising it.
"Not interested."
However, Tang Yi didn't support him at all.
He could destroy any dynasty with a single hand; whether the emperor was real or fake was of no interest to him, it didn't matter.
Lao Tzu has already embarked on the path to divinity.
Do you think I'm playing house with you guys?
Is the trope of a loyal minister saving the country really that interesting?
"Very good..."
Ning Fengzhi was initially caught off guard and overjoyed. With this guy joining the team, winning would be a piece of cake.
But when he pronounced the words clearly, his smile froze.
"What!"
Bang!
"Sect Master Ning, I knew this kid was unreliable. Once things are set right, that's enough for us!"
Golong slammed his fist on the table and stood up. He actually dared to attack Tang Yi at the first moment, which even made the Sword Bone Douluo tremble with fear.
He wasn't allowed to continue.
The two titled Douluo immediately pinned him down.
"Don't be angry, just ignore him. I'll cripple his arm to atone for my sins."
Bone Douluo's face hardened, and he directly chopped off Golong's left hand, making him look like himself.
Ning Fengzhi was also startled.
Goron, that bastard!
Compared to restoring order and overthrowing the false emperor, not angering Tang Yi is the most important thing!
"Please calm down!!"
Ning Fengzhi quickly bowed at a 90-degree angle.
His attitude, along with that of the two Title Douluos, immediately startled everyone. They realized that Ning Fengzhi's earlier statement that Tang Yi possessed absolute power was not just empty talk!
"Please calm down!"
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads deeply.
"ah...!"
Even the screaming Ge Long immediately fell silent when he saw Tang Yi's single glance nearly scare the two Title Douluos to death, and swallowed back the scream that was about to come out.
"Please reconsider?"
"We will nominate someone of your choosing to become the new emperor!"
"Everything in the Heavenly Dou Empire will belong to you!"
Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth and used his last bargaining chip.
Since the Heavenly Dou royal family is completely wiped out, there is no problem with the succession of a new emperor.
"oh?"
Tang Yi finally became somewhat interested.
To allow oneself to recommend a new emperor?
Unifying the Douluo Continent and becoming the Douluo version of Qin Shi Huang seems to be quite effective in garnering followers.
The Way of the Sun and the Way of the Great Emperor are not in conflict.
Isn't that peninsula the home of the Sun Emperor?
If it could help his path to becoming a Sun God, then he would definitely be tempted, and he wouldn't mind having another Great Emperor status.
"Yes, I support your actions."
"But I will be the emperor."
Tang Yi nodded slightly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed and changed his mind immediately without any hesitation.
With Tang Yi's help, we're guaranteed to win!
Moreover, Tang Yi, who is qualified to become a god, personally took on the role of the Great Emperor, making this minister who followed the dragon even more valuable!
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!!"
Everyone present, including Sword Bone Douluo, knelt on one knee and shouted excitedly.
"You've really made my life miserable..."
Donning the yellow robe, Tang Yi could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.
...
"I didn't expect you to actually agree to help those rabble."
Leaving the secret room, Ye Lingling felt somewhat incredulous.
Yes,
Having already undergone the divine test, she saw Ning Fengzhi and those so-called high-ranking and powerful figures as nothing more than a rabble.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals; Tang Yi's time should not be wasted on such trivial matters.
"Besides, what's the point of being an emperor?"
What Ye Lingling didn't expect was that Tang Yi would actually condescend to become the emperor of those rabble.
With Tang Yi's talent, he was destined to become a high and mighty god. To become emperor in a ragtag group of rabble would be beneath his dignity.
"I'm not helping them, I'm helping myself."
Tang Yi was certainly not a pushover, and he had no interest in playing around with Ning Fengzhi and the others.
"oh?"
Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes sparkled with interest.
Under the admiring and curious gaze of the beauty, Tang Yi began to speak:
"I plan to unify the continent and try to collect faith, and create my own godhood like the sea god."
? !
"What? But didn't you already possess the inheritance of a godhood?"
"And it's the throne of the three god-kings: Asura, Evil, and Destruction."
Ye Lingling opened her red lips in surprise, not quite understanding.
"What is inherited is not the most suitable."
"I want to forge my own path,"
"If successful, the position of the Sun God will be no less than that of the God-Kings, and may even surpass them."
Tang Yi's eyes were burning.
The Douluo Planet now has four continents.
The Douluo Continent they lived on was the Sun and Moon Continent, which collided with them thousands of years later, and the Heaven Dou Continent and Star Luo Continent, which occurred 30,000 years later.
If the faith in Douluo Continent is not enough,
He then went to the other three continents, collected all the faiths, and completely unified the entire planet.
I don't believe I can't become the sun god!
