204: Section 204

Unlike the other three great Divine Kingdoms, Zhu Yuanzhang was not born into royalty but rose from the bottom, killing his way up.

He rose, relying on his own strength, suppressing all living beings, forging his Dragon Qi and carving out his Emperors Road!

He admired people like the First Emperor the most.

A King can be without arrogance, but he cannot be without backbone!

This statement sounds easy, but it is incredibly difficult to do.

Under the Wuming Divine Kingdom, there were countless bestowed kingdoms, and among them, there were not a few ambitious Emperors with grand aspirations.

But....

Any Monarch, the moment they saw him, would be crushed by his terrifying aura.

What ambition, what World, in the end, they all became nothing more than dogs without spines.

Only the First Emperor before him, when facing him, showed no fear, and even his surrounding Dragon Qi grew stronger.

This was truly a born Emperor; the three words First Emperor... were well-deserved!

"Hahahahaha!!! First Emperor, I’m not here today as the Emperor of the Wuming Divine Kingdom, but as a father."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, then his expression changed as he looked at Zhu Di, who was trembling like a quail beside him.

"Fourth Prince! Get over here now!"

Hearing his father's voice, this deeply hidden Fourth Prince couldn't help but tremble slightly all over.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's offspring, he knew his father's methods best.

He instinctively wanted to go over.

But for some unknown reason, he only felt a gaze fixed on him.

He suddenly looked behind him and saw Su Zheng's gaze, neither sad nor joyful, resting on him.

At this moment, Zhu Di seemed to understand why this man, much younger than himself, could possess such a world-shaking imperial title as First Emperor.

What kind of eyes were those? They held no ambition, no desire, as if all the All Heavens and Myriad Realms inherently belonged to him.

If his father was an old farmer who wanted to turn all the Heavens into his own cultivated land.

Then Su Zheng was one who allowed the Myriad Realms to develop, while he sat high above, controlling all living beings with one hand!

Only such an existence was qualified to contend with those four Emperors, and even... annex them!

At this moment, a crazy thought arose in Zhu Di’s mind.

"Zhu Di is willing to join Great Qin as a general, to fight for Great Qin in the All Heavens, and hopes Your Majesty will accept him!"

Zhu Di suddenly turned and knelt on one knee.

His voice was sincere, not faked.

"Fourth Prince!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became somewhat low as he watched this scene.

Crack!

Even the surrounding space showed cracks due to his emotions.

"The child is ignorant; he has made the First Emperor laugh..."

"Rebellious son! Why don't you..."

But before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish speaking, Su Zheng calmly interjected.

"Good! Zhu Di, from today onwards, you are the Grand Marshal of Great Qin's armies, in overall command of Great Qin's forces!"

"Conquer the All Heavens for me!"

The Emperor's word was law, his decree from Heaven!

The National Luck Ancestral Dragon roared, and in an instant, a golden light entered Zhu Di's body.

Great Qin’s Luck was instantly connected to Zhu Di.

This was the National Luck acknowledging Zhu Di's identity.

"First Emperor... what do you mean by this...?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes drooped.

The originally bright weather darkened.

"Zhu Di possesses the martial will of the world, a born God of War, a general; joining my Great Qin is like adding wings to a tiger."

"How could I not accept him?"

Su Zheng said casually.

"Hehehe... Good! What a Su Zheng, what a First Emperor!"

"Fourth Prince, you've found yourself a good place to go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, and the surroundings seemed to be stained with a layer of blood.

Few people knew how terrifying this Emperor, who had dominated an era and suppressed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for a full hundred thousand years, truly was.

But at this moment, Su Chensha was clear.

The Eyes of Heavens in his Divine Soul were observing everything, and the moment he saw Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Eyes of Heavens almost shattered and burst!

That was a power unbearable by mortals!

This level of strength had almost reached the pinnacle of this world's rules...

He even had half a foot attempting to step out of the long river of time...

If such an existence harbored killing intent, it could instantly wipe out this entire great domain.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's anger surged.

The palpable pressure erupted like a volcano.

In an instant, besides Su Zheng, Su Xiaofan, and Su Chensha, even Grand Scribe Yu Fu, the Daoist traveler, was suppressed to his knees.

And Zhu Di was even worse; he was practically prostrate on the ground, sweating profusely.

"If you want to discipline your son, do it at home!"

"Don't cause trouble on my Su Family's territory!"

Just then, a slightly sinister voice suddenly rang out.

The next moment, a man appeared out of thin air in front of Su Zheng and the others.

With his appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang's terrifying pressure was completely absorbed by the person before them.

He was like a black hole, capable of devouring all tangible and intangible forces.

Even pressure, such an ethereal thing, was completely swallowed by him.

"Clan Chief!" Su Chensha's eyes were respectful.

"Not the Clan Chief... just looks very similar!"

But Su Zheng saw the difference.

Although this person was five-tenths similar to Su Zhou, the madness in his eyes and the evil smile always on his lips were completely different from Su Zhou.

"Someone from the Su Clan!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the man in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Heh, Hongwu Emperor, you exert your pressure over the All Heavens and suppress the Ten Earths, I don't care about that, but if you touch my clan members, then I have to intervene, don't I?"

"Just with you, and this new path you've taken, which you don't even know if it's correct?"

"Of course not... there's also my old immortal master!" Su Mu said carelessly.

Then, a black sachet hanging from his waist moved without wind.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly, as if he sensed something on the sachet.

His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but quickly returned to normal.

Then, as if he understood something, he shook his head slightly.

"So be it!"

"Fourth Prince, from now on, you are no longer my Martial Ming’s Prince. Since you have chosen your own path, walk it well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was tinged with a hint of melancholy, like a disappointed father.

Then, he looked up at a void: "All of this was in your plan, Su Clan Leader..."

His gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of void, seeing a pair of incredibly indifferent eyes, within which were myriad galaxies.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang's Incarnation dissipated just like that.

He came with the world welcoming him, and left with the Myriad Realms desolate...

The Hongwu Emperor, who had suppressed all living beings, now appeared like a disappointed and forlorn father.

Zhu Di felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

But he knew that to break free from his predicament, it had to be this way.

"Heh... Hongwu Emperor lives up to his reputation... His cultivation is simply unfathomable..."
