Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 858 - 276: The Blood and Flesh Ancestor Descends upon Jingdu! The Emperor Bows, the Demon God Appears! (Part 3)
Lu Changsheng appeared so young, but the Emperor had no memory of him.
He even thought Lu Changsheng might be a nephew or junior member of the Marquis's family.
However, Lu Changsheng was not inclined to beat around the bush.
He took a step forward and calmly said, "Emperor, how does it feel to be a blood progenitor?"
"Hmm? Who are you..."
The Emperor immediately sensed something was amiss.
He wanted to call for the guards at once, but found himself unable to speak.
No, he could speak.
The Emperor opened his mouth and directly ordered the guards to withdraw.
The grand hall was left with only Lu Changsheng, the Marquis, and the Emperor.
Everyone else was waiting outside the hall.
But it wasn't truly the Emperor's intention to speak earlier.
The Emperor was utterly horrified inside.
What sort of sorcery was this?
Even an Ancient Demon couldn't possibly control him so silently.
After all, this was the Imperial Palace.
A Demon King was stationed here.
Even the Demon God from the Demon God Department was constantly watching over the palace.
No True Demon could sneak into the palace.
But now, how could one explain the scene before his eyes?
Unless Lu Changsheng was not a Demon!
"Are you the Blood and Flesh Ancestor?"
Suddenly, the Emperor found himself able to speak again, blurting it out almost involuntarily.
The Emperor was shrewd, guessing Lu Changsheng's identity.
Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and nodded lightly, saying, "Correct, I am the Blood and Flesh Ancestor."
The Emperor whispered to himself, "I should have realized it earlier, the progenitor is nearly perfect, with almost no side effects, but how is that possible?"
"Now the side effect has come, all the blood progenitors can be controlled by you, the Blood and Flesh Ancestor..."
The Emperor felt a profound bitterness in his heart.
He understood what this ability meant.
But if given another choice.
Even knowing this side effect, would he abandon becoming a progenitor?
Upon reflection, even if he knew about this side effect, the Emperor might still choose to become a progenitor without hesitation.
The reason was simple.
If he didn't become a progenitor, the Emperor would die.
Who would want to die?
Once dead, everything is over.
"Blood and Flesh Ancestor, you can control all blood progenitors, essentially eliminating any threat from the Jing Dynasty towards you."
"You didn't come just to control me, did you?"
"I even feel that you have little interest in the throne. After all, in the eyes of someone as powerful as you, what significance does an emperor's seat hold?"
The Emperor was indeed insightful.
He saw through Lu Changsheng's intentions at a glance, knowing it wasn't the throne he was after.
Indeed, Lu Changsheng was not interested in the throne.
With his ability to control the blood progenitors, becoming the Emperor would be effortless.
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "As expected of the Emperor, you remain calm even now."
"I've come for one thing, which is actually a great benefit to the entire Jing Dynasty."
"That is, hoping the Jing Dynasty can assist the Blood and Flesh Temple in promoting the progenitor line. Everyone must become a progenitor."
"At that time, you will still be the Emperor. My enemies have never been the Human Clan, but the Demon Clan!"
"I only wish for the grand spread of Blood and Flesh Martial Arts, to use the Jing Dynasty as a base, spreading throughout the world, and throughout the entire Human Clan, to truly combat the Demon Clan!"
Lu Changsheng also revealed his objective.
The Emperor's eyes flashed with brilliance.
At the same time, his heart was profoundly shaken.
Despite Lu Changsheng's righteous and grandiose words,
what did it truly entail?
The Emperor discerned Lu Changsheng's ambition.
To let the Blood and Flesh Martial Arts spread throughout the world, spread to all the Human Clan.
That meant turning the Human Clan entirely into blood progenitors.
Such ambition, how immense is that?
By then, no matter who the Emperor of the Human Clan was,
Lu Changsheng as the Blood and Flesh Ancestor would truly stand above everyone.
But what if he knew of Lu Changsheng's ambition?
Could the Emperor prevent it?
He couldn't!
Moreover, just as Lu Changsheng said, the enemy of the progenitors is the Demon Clan.
If the Demon Clan could be exterminated, it would be an immense benefit for all the Human Clan.
Besides, wasn't there just another entity above the Emperor— the Blood and Flesh Ancestor?
The Emperor didn't mind.
After all, previously, the Emperor had the Demon Clan above him.
And there wasn't just one from the Demon Clan,
"No problem, I agree!"
"I will issue a decree at the Grand Court, declaring the Blood and Flesh Temple as the national religion. All officials and citizens shall be transformed into progenitors."
"Even if it's enforced, I will fully support it."
"However, the obstacle isn't me, nor is it the imperial court. Blood and Flesh Ancestor, you still need one person's consent."
"Only if that person agrees can your plan be implemented."
The Emperor said with a solemn expression.
"Oh, who is this person?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"The Demon God, Li Zong!"
The Emperor stated each word clearly, mentioning a name.
Understood, Lu Changsheng fully comprehended now.
The Demon God, Li Zong!
He is the guardian deity of the entire Jing Dynasty.
In some respects, his authority even surpasses that of the Emperor.
Without Li Zong's protection, how else could the Jing Dynasty have remained stable for over five hundred years?
For major undertakings like promoting the Blood and Flesh Temple, without the Demon God's consent, it simply couldn't be carried out.
"The Demon God, huh?"
"Just right, I indeed wish to meet this legendary Demon God!"
"Let's see if the Ancient Demon is truly as omnipotent as the legends say."
Saying this, Lu Changsheng stepped forward, already leaving the palace, and even the Imperial Palace, heading straight for the Demon God Department.
The Demon God Department was an unremarkable yamen.
It seemed to differ significantly from other yamens.
