Chapter 258 Ascension
Although there is no reincarnation in this world, ghosts and the like may still appear. It's just that the ghosts in this world do not have the ability to kill people like in the previous world. One reason is that the weirdness of that world was born through the authority of Hades Zagreus, and the other reason is that that world is very weak. Ghosts can directly pry open the rules of the world. Now, this world of immortality is much more solid than it, and everyone in this world is nourished by spiritual energy. If the weirdness of that world is placed in this world of immortality, any living person who has practiced a little can use yang energy to shock them to death.
This world is supported by spiritual energy, and ghosts also have ways to practice, but due to the lack of Yin soil, the ghost system is incomplete. If they want to survive or become stronger, they have to rely on absorbing human Yang energy and essence and blood.
However, all human beings in this world are blessed by the fortune of the dynasty. The souls of ordinary people can stay for seven days after death before dissipating. But some special souls stay for more than seven days due to various reasons. There is no underworld or the netherworld in this world that is responsible for rotation. If the soul stays for more than seven days, it will be eroded by the negative energy and transformed into a bloodthirsty ghost.
Some ghosts may be dispersed by human yang energy as soon as they appear, but there are also one or two who are lucky, or who were powerful monks in their lifetime and avoided the weak period after death. Once they are allowed to eat flesh and blood, they will begin to kill without restraint. These are usually cleaned up by human monks. However, there are also ghosts who were powerful in their lifetime or had good luck and became powerful, but their lives are not easy either.
Because all the gods believe that the existence of ghosts is harmful to human ethics and the country's fortune, the ghosts that have become powerful are those who have been sacrificed in the temple in exchange for their military merits in exchange for their longevity. As a result, although there are ghosts in this world, their living conditions are not very good.
After Pan digested the residual soul of Queen Wei, his every frown and smile really had the charm of Queen Wei. Pan turned around a few times and saluted Zagreus in a proper manner. However, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the extra flesh on his chest. After pressing it with his hands, he looked at Zagreus with some grievance. Zagreus sighed helplessly, pressed his forehead and said:
"Go and inform Wei Yuan that all the court officials must be present tomorrow. I am too lazy to clean them out one by one, so I will just wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
"Queen Wei" gradually got used to her new body and seemed to have fallen in love with that tearful expression. After bowing to him tenderly, she left the imperial garden like a willow swaying in the wind.
"Oh~ I'm so tired!" Zagreus seemed to feel a dull pain in his temple again.
The next morning, Eunuch Li, who was transformed by Wang Shun, came to urge Zagreus to get up. When he was occupied by Wang Shun, he had always been Wei Yuan's man. In the past two days, he had been passing some fabricated information to Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan had never doubted his identity and just thought that everything in the palace was normal.
Today Wang Shun had restored his original appearance. After helping Zagreus put on his clothes, the two of them walked towards the court hall. Fortunately, the Nanzhao Kingdom was not big, and in order to avoid offending the taboos of the Longyuan Dynasty, the imperial palace was also made much smaller. The two of them arrived at the hall not long after they walked.
Before Zagreus went in, he heard Wei Yuan yelling at the top of his voice. Looking from outside the hall, he saw that except for a few old men who looked indignant, most of the other civil and military officials in the court had their heads down. These people should be the so-called aristocratic families. As the saying goes, dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain. It doesn't matter to them who is in power, as the emperor needs them to govern the world anyway.
In addition to them, there were some other people at the front of the hall. These people looked indignant. Zagreus thought about it and felt that this group of people seemed to be the ones the old emperor had entrusted his son to. However, they were obviously so angry with Wei Yuan that their faces turned red.
"Your Majesty has arrived~~~!"
At this time, Wang Shun, who was standing behind Zagros, pinched his throat and shouted. He had recently gone through the etiquette in the palace. Now he was going to become Zagros's chief steward, someone who would handle internal affairs for him. There were no eunuchs at this time, so he could only play a cameo role first.
Everyone in the hall was startled by Wang Shun's powerful voice and turned around hurriedly. They found that in addition to Crown Prince Fengji, there was another young man they had never seen before. However, they were not interested in Wang Shun now. They were interested in the box in his hand. The style of the box was very familiar to them. It was the imperial seal that Wei Yuan had been looking for!
"Who are you? Your Highness has not yet ascended the throne, how can you call him Your Majesty?"
At this time, a man who was obviously Wei Yuan jumped out from behind. He seemed to be referring to Wang Shun, but in fact he was scolding Crown Prince Fengji.
Zagreus and Wang Shun didn't even look at him, they just thought they were all dead, so they continued walking forward. Although Wei Yuan was also unhappy at this time, he was still in the court after all. He was a little confused because he didn't see the familiar eunuch Li. He wondered if he was killed by Fengji. But when he saw someone holding the jade seal to the court, he thought that Cen Chun had found Prince Fengji and had worked to make him surrender. As for Eunuch Li, he was a rootless man, so let him die.
Everyone else knew what would happen today, and they all looked at Zagreus with sympathy. Only the red-faced old men in front were a little impatient when they saw Fengji appear, especially when they saw the jade seal held by Wang Shun. They were even more worried. When Zagreus walked up to them, they surrounded him and said with a look of disappointment: "Prince, you are confused!"
Wang Shun skillfully fended off several old men for Zagros. Zagros carried the box containing the imperial seal and continued to walk forward alone. Wei Yuan was delighted when he saw this. Queen Wei had sent someone to tell him last night that Cen Chun would protect him in secret. He was not worried about being attacked by the prince. Now seeing him coming, he thought that the prince was going to hand the imperial seal to him personally.
As a result, Zagrous walked up to his side without even listening, and directly bypassed Wei Yuan's outstretched hands and sat on the dragon throne alone, leaving Wei Yuan, who was trembling with anger. At this time, he was still in the action of receiving something. As Zagrous threw the box on the table nonchalantly, the huge noise immediately made the whole hall quiet.
"You! How dare you bully me like this, little Fengji!"
At this moment, Wei Yuan almost roared with his back teeth clenched, but just when he was about to take action, a eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside: "The Queen has arrived!"
Wei Yuan was stunned at this time, and so were everyone in the court. According to etiquette, even if they knew the final result, the Queen and the Fourth Prince should not appear today. But since they were already here, they could not be turned away. Wei Yuan gave a wink, and the guards outside the hall let them in.
No one knew what Queen Wei's purpose was at this moment. They just saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, but was holding the queen's clothes and a phoenix seal in her hands. She walked around Wei Yuan, who was looking puzzled, and came to the steps and knelt down. This kneeling shocked everyone in the room.
"What are you doing!" Wei Yuan was almost angry to the point of having a cerebral hemorrhage. If it weren't for the fact that his sister was on good terms with that Cen Gongsheng, he would have probably taken action now.
But at this time, "Queen Wei" said nothing, and took out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed Wei Yuan. Needless to say, Wei Yuan's skills were very good, he dodged it and slapped out with his palm, but then he seemed to think of something and was about to retract his palm power, but somehow Queen Wei flew backwards and finally spurted out a lot of blood.
Wei Yuan knew he was in trouble, but Zagreus was sitting on the dragon throne at this time, watching a show, looking at all the people below. The "Queen Wei" was knocked away by a palm and screamed in pain. She fell in front of several old men in front of her. Looking at them spitting blood, the old men looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
