Doomsday Code

Chapter 732 The Foundation of Enlightenment

Chen Cheng nodded as he listened. At this moment, Herlous sighed again and said to Chen Cheng:

"And you know that Samlet's Dao has long been bound to the Empire and His Majesty. The reason he was injured before was not because the heavenly punishment was too strong, but because he had become weaker.

Many people are eyeing that position nowadays, because it represents not only the highest power, but also the strongest power.”

After hearing this, Chen Cheng felt even more depressed.

Although he has never forgotten about restoring his country, if you really ask him to talk about the imperial royal family, he really can't say anything.

And what Herlous had told him today also gave him a deeper understanding of that position.

At the same time, Chen Cheng also roughly understood why the empire collapsed overnight. He was afraid that those guys took advantage of a fatal weakness in the foundation of the emperors of all dynasties.

Just as Herlous said, if one achieves enlightenment through the empire, then the empire will become stronger as it prospers. However, if the empire suddenly becomes unstable, it will probably be backfired and the empire will perish immediately.

Among all the rumors in the mainland, the one that can cause the greatest turmoil is probably the Doomsday Code.

People have always been afraid of the Doomsday Code, especially after Thorn Flower I established the empire and left his dying words, the fear of the code probably reached its peak.

Once someone touches this taboo, just a little bit of vague evidence will cause unrest among the people of the world.

Especially since this person is the emperor they love the most today.

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. Once people's hearts are exploited, the collective turmoil that breaks out in an instant is enough to cause the emperor of the empire who achieved enlightenment through this to die suddenly.

"It seems this is a double-edged sword. If you're not careful, you'll hurt yourself."

After hearing what Chen Cheng said, Herlous sighed and said:

"No one would have thought of it, and it could have been stopped, but if you want to deal with those guys, you have to take this invincible path."

Chen Cheng did not answer, but mourned in his heart for the ancestor he had never met.

If Chen Cheng hadn't known these things before, he might have really taken this path, but after knowing these things, Chen Cheng would definitely not take this path.

People living in this era probably think that it was just a rare accident, caused by the collaboration of countless people with ulterior motives.

After experiencing it once, if you want to prevent it, you have an example to follow.

But Chen Cheng, who came from the 21st century, had seen the Internet and knew that the so-called people's hearts and minds could be manipulated at will by spending hundreds or thousands of dollars.

However, although this world has things like magic and fighting spirit, on the whole, the people are still ignorant and social productivity is still low.

In order to spread such a rumor without being discovered, the only person Chen Cheng could think of was the Church of Light.

Although he was a science student in his previous life, he had also read history. The history books clearly recorded how the Han Dynasty, which lasted for 400 years, came to an end.

If the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not been reported in advance, and if it had not been well prepared, with the help of insiders in the capital, the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty might have really fallen into the hands of Zhang Jue.

This was a religious uprising, and it instantly swept across the entire Han Dynasty.

As a result, the Han Dynasty lost its power and the influence of local warlords began to rise.

Therefore, Chen Cheng could think of the only one who could carry out a nationwide rumor-mongering campaign at the same time in this era, and that was the Church of Light.

"The Sect of Light."

There was a cold murderous intent in Chen Cheng's voice.

Now he and the Church of Light have a national and family feud.

When Herlous heard Chen Cheng mention the Church of Light, she sighed and said:

"In fact, some people have long suspected that it was the Church of Light who spread the rumor that His Majesty had found the Doomsday Codex, but they have never been able to produce any evidence."

However, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid it's more than that. The kings of the kingdoms that went to the imperial capital back then were probably also accomplices. Without their cooperation within their kingdoms, how could the Church of Light have escaped without any news leaking out?"

Chen Cheng didn't believe that the church was a monolithic entity. The image of the Thorn Flower Empire in this world was much higher among people than that of the Han Dynasty in his previous life.

Perhaps it is because his own strength is linked to the hearts of the people in the empire, so there has never been a report of a foolish emperor throughout the ages.

Therefore, there must have been some knowledgeable people within the church at that time who wanted to tip off the empire.

The most reliable people they could find in the local areas were probably the kings of the kingdoms.

But they would never have imagined that the kingdom they trusted to defend the empire had become the biggest traitor.

At this time, Chen Cheng uncovered a corner of the historical truth of that year, and he felt the greatest murderous intent towards those traitors.

At the same time, he also realized the importance of centralization.

If the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could achieve centralization of power, would the emperors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty be just a decoration?

Then Chen Cheng stood up and said:

"I'm sorry to bother you, Elder. I'll take my leave now."

Melos also knew that Chen Cheng needed to digest this information carefully, so he returned the greeting.

Just as Chen Cheng was about to leave, a heart-pounding aura suddenly came from outside Kailan City.

When Herlous realized what was happening, he immediately released his aura and pressed back.

"Elder Herlous, I am Liuyun, the Grand Elder of the Adventurer's Guild, greeting you."

Herlous snorted coldly and flew out.

"Liuyun is so imposing, is he coming here just to overwhelm others with his power?"

After she finished speaking, she turned to Chen Cheng and said:

"You hide for a while, I'll go meet him and come back."

Chen Cheng also knew that this was not the time to show off his strength, so he nodded and returned to his yard.

Outside Kailan City, many officers and soldiers who were still dealing with the corpses of monsters were all forced to kneel on the ground by the legendary pressure just now.

Fortunately, Herlous's momentum pushed them back, and they were able to stand up again.

Soon, all the cannons mounted on the city walls were aimed at the flowing clouds in the air.

Although they knew that this was a demigod who only appeared in legends, their responsibility as soldiers supported them and they pointed their most powerful weapons at this menacing demigod.

When one reaches Liuyun's realm, except for those in the same realm, all other things related to them have a mysterious and inexplicable feeling.

The muzzle of the cannon was not aimed at him before, and he did not feel any fluctuations in magical fighting energy, so he thought that these large, thick iron pipes were just for show.

When this was directed at him, he immediately sensed it.

Then he became interested.

"It's really interesting that you mortals can create such interesting toys."
