Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 403: Monarch Selection
Xu Shen asked the intelligence department to continue monitoring the outside of the Rotten Cave, with one of the kings in charge. This way Xu Shen would feel more at ease. If it was just the two states, they probably wouldn't be able to glimpse the God.
Although it is difficult for the king to see what God is saying if he intends to hide it, if God wants to come out to look for food, I believe he will be interested in the king at the entrance of the cave.
Xu Shen did not dare to stay in the council hall for long and came to the edge of Yunzhong City, farthest away from the rotten cave.
The original owner also rushed here, and the two looked at each other, both with fear on their faces.
Xu Shen secretly felt fortunate. If the impact of the minotaur's self-explosion had not been too strong, he and the original owner would probably have died there.
"Are Zero Lord and the others dead?"
Xu Shen calmed down a little and asked the original owner.
The original owner sighed and said, "Anyway, when we escaped, they had already been caught up by the gods. I only heard Wanzhu's screams, but Lingzhu and Yuzhu were ahead, and they probably met with an accident as well."
Xu Shen's eyes flashed, which meant that now only he and the original owner were left in the parliament.
The absence of Lord Zero is actually a good thing for Xu Shen, as he is the one who makes the decisions in the parliament.
As for the original owner, although the temple fell into the cave and was not brought out, the temple could no longer be used to restrain the original owner, but Xu Shen believed that the other party would not go against him, and even if he did, he could suppress him.
The original owner's domain is similar to his, but his has been strengthened and doubled. If competing in the same type of domain, he can completely suppress the original owner.
"It's a pity that Yuzhu and Wanzhu are dead."
Xu Shen had no ill feelings towards these two people, and he felt a little sorry for their deaths. Now that three seats were vacant, he could let his own people join the parliament. On the surface, the original system would still be retained, but in reality it would become his one-man show.
Thinking of all these things, Xu Shen withdrew his thoughts and contacted the intelligence department, and learned that there was nothing unusual near the cave.
That god really didn’t chase him out... Was there something restraining him?
Or are you simply too lazy to chase?
Xu Shen felt that the former was more likely. If the god was really too lazy to chase, he would not have killed Wanzhu and the others.
I didn’t expect that there was a god in the deepest part of the rotten cave.
And...it seems they haven't explored the deepest point yet.
The most frightening thing is that the City in the Clouds is right on the edge of the Rotten Cave. If it weren't for some kind of restraint, that god would have come out and done whatever he wanted.
"Tell me, is that really a God?" The original owner was still immersed in his previous fear, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
Xu Shen nodded: "Of course, didn't we see God once?"
"But that thing looks too ferocious," said the original owner.
Xu Shen said, "Gods are in ways that humans cannot understand. They are just a kind of life form that transcends the king. Any form is normal. If you think they are different from the gods described in religions, it only shows that religions are talking nonsense."
"Well, that's true."
The original owner had a strong ability to accept things and quickly realized this.
God is perfect, but what kind of posture is perfect and what God likes is determined by God himself, not by the personification imagined by humans.
Perhaps in the eyes of God, humans with one head, two hands and two feet are extremely ugly.
"When the master escaped from the rotten cave, he couldn't have met a god..." The original owner suddenly thought of a scene hundreds of years ago, his eyes flashing. He deeply understood how terrifying the master was. The ruins shell alone might not be able to seriously injure the master.
After all, the king's injuries could be healed as long as there was Xu power, but when the owner of the life object escaped, he was still seriously injured, which shows that he didn't even have time to heal himself in the cave.
"Can the destiny master you mentioned really foresee fate?" Xu Shen couldn't help but ask. He always heard the original owner mention him and he seemed to be extremely awed by this destiny master.
"able!"
The original owner said it .
"If that's the case, then she will definitely be fine. She can glimpse her own destiny and predict the future. It will be difficult for her to die, unless she can only glimpse and cannot change it." Xu Shen said.
The original owner nodded and said, "At the general level, it really won't cause her any harm, but if it's a god, have you noticed that our abilities can't affect that level? Or, in other words, the impact on that level is minimal. No matter how strong our abilities are, they will probably be weakened by 99% in front of a god."
Xu Shen noticed this in the temple. He shook his head. He was in no mood to care about people from hundreds of years ago. He said, "This rotten cave is in Yunzhong City. I suggest moving Yunzhong City away from here. Otherwise, if the gods come out, it will be too dangerous."
No one wants to sleep next to a tiger's den.
The original owner felt the same way and nodded, saying, "Just leave someone here to guard it. Now that Lord Zero is dead, the council will be handed over to you to preside over. I will just hold the position."
He saw that Xu Shen had intentions towards the parliament and chose to give up the fight at the right time.
"OK."
Xu Shen did not act hypocritically and agreed frankly. He then returned to the parliament hall and announced the death of Ling Zhu and others.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Shen also released the news of the selection of the new monarch.
The two pieces of news came out at the same time, and quickly flew from the Cloud City like a bird with wings to the inner city and the hands of the intelligence spies of the kings in the bottom city.
Everyone was shocked to learn that the three monarchs had died at the same time.
You know, only one or two monarchs are promoted and replaced every few hundred years, and each of them is the best among the kings and can fight against ten of them.
Now, in just a short moment, three people died suddenly. It's too exaggerated.
When it was learned that the remaining two monarchs were new monarchs, conspiracy theories spread, and people couldn't help but think too much.
The three dead were all veteran monarchs, but the new one is still alive. It is hard to believe that it was not a murder.
Somewhere in the inner city.
In the center of the huge urban area, there is a manor covering thousands of acres.
The prison warden was admiring the flesh humans fighting each other on the field in front of him, while collecting their souls. This fighting performance was like dessert for the meal, and the winner could live to the next round. How interesting.
This can also cultivate stronger souls.
Working hard to survive and grow will only make you fatter and more beautiful.
Suddenly, a secret letter arrived.
The warden took it casually, opened it, took a quick look, and was immediately stunned.
Will Zero Lord die?
He was a little stunned.
After reading the secret letter carefully twice, the prison master looked a little strange. Did Xu Shen and the original owner conspire to murder him? But with the abilities of Lingzhu and the prison master, even murder would be difficult.
Besides, would a monarch be afraid of murder?
If he could be easily assassinated, how could he sit in this position?
Each monarch is a hexagonal warrior with almost no blind spots. Murder, curse, and group attack are all useless.
"It seems that the parliament still needs me..."
The prison warden casually crushed the secret letter and stretched lazily.
As the news spread, various forces were ready to take action.
After getting over the shock of losing three monarchs, they were even more delighted by the three vacant positions.
On the other hand, Xu Shen issued an order to relocate Yunzhong City. This order shocked many kings in Yunzhong City. Yunzhong City was the address once chosen by the Human Emperor and had not been moved for thousands of years. Why did it have to be relocated?
Those dignitaries and descendants of large families who had spent a lot of effort to purchase permanent residency rights in Yunzhong City silently expressed their protest.
But Xu Shen was well prepared, and said that everything would remain the same as before, and the system and their quota would not change , only the address would be changed.
The reason for the land change is that a disaster is about to befall Yunzhong City.
When it comes to disasters, the faint voices of opposition from all sides immediately become inaudible.
After all, disasters concern everyone's own interests, and some people can't wait to leave when they hear about it.
Although they had to relocate to Yunzhong City, it was their former foundation after all, and the move would not be completed overnight. They also had to choose a new address and build residential facilities. Even with the help of capable people, it would take about a month.
The vacancy of the monarch made various forces eager to make moves and they secretly sent messages to recommend candidates.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xu Shen announced the selection date, which was set for a week later.
During this period, everything outside the Rotten Cave remained calm. Xu Shen sent a king to lead a team to explore the outer edge. They encountered no danger and even the number of ruins insects decreased. He felt a little relieved and continued to stay in Yunzhong City.
"What, let us be monarchs?"
Chen Han, Xia Jingxiang and Xue Haining looked at Xu Shen in amazement, suspecting that they had heard wrongly.
They followed Xu Shen and were no longer the kings who stayed in the bottom city and were cut off from the news. They knew how terrifying the monarch was. Just the fact that the monarch was on an equal footing with Xu Shen was enough to tell how difficult it would be.
As a result, Xu Shen actually wanted them to be elected and directly appointed them. This made the three of them confused. What had they done to deserve this?
"That's right. When the selection comes, it will be done by challenging the monarch, not a fight between you kings. When others challenge us, we will deal with them. When you challenge me, I will let the original owner lose to you." Xu Shen said.
The three of them stared at Xu Shen in a daze, feeling as if they were in a trance. This was simply a step to heaven.
But after a while, the three of them gradually regained their composure and soon understood Xu Shen's intention, which was to completely turn the ruling parliament into Xu Shen's own ruling stage.
From now on, Xu Shen will have the final say in the inner and outer cities, and the entire world.
Time flies and a week goes by in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the monarch selection, kings from all sides rushed to Yunzhong City.
Xu Shen saw many familiar faces, Huo Feng, Mo family, Jiang family and so on.
Many kings gathered, and the Star Lord was also among the crowd, but he was just there to join in the fun.
When Xu Shen returned to Guangming City to explain to Xia Jingxiang and the others, Xingjun was also there, and he knew that the monarch had already been chosen.
Looking at the kings around him with eyes full of fighting spirit, Xing Jun felt amused and a little helpless. After all, they were all kings, but they were being played around by Xu Shen in the applause.
"We are very sad about the death of the three monarchs. We have lost three pillars. New pillars must be built to shoulder the responsibility of protecting humanity."
Xu Shen made a brief opening statement, his tone deep, and said: "Today we will select three capable people to serve as the new monarch. The selection rules are still the same. Whoever can defeat the monarch will become the new monarch."
"Who is willing to challenge the two of us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience fell silent and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Still following the old rules?
Then it would be impossible to choose any one.
If I could defeat you, I would have waited until now and would have come to take your place long ago!
Xu Shen looked around, then suddenly came to his senses and said, "I was not careful enough. So, let the original owner test you. He will only use half of his strength. Whoever can defeat him will be temporarily appointed as the new monarch. If others can defeat the temporary monarch, they can take his place."
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that Xu Shen's casual attitude was a bit ridiculous, but now that the final word was in Xu Shen's hands, no one dared to question it.
Perhaps a monarch can just do whatever he wants.
"Who will be the first to challenge?" Xu Shen said loudly when no one said anything.
"Let me do it."
Suddenly a voice came from the crowd.
Xu Shen and the original owner immediately focused their eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a tall and strong figure pushing aside the others and walking out from the crowd.
When they saw the other party, many people wailed in their hearts, knowing that there was one less spot.
The person who appeared was the prison master.
As the former monarch, although he was squeezed out by Xu Shen and the original owner, the other monarchs present who knew the Prison Master knew that he was also an invincible existence.
"oh?"
Xu Shen and the original owner narrowed their eyes, but they had expected that they would only use half of their strength, but this would not be the case if they met the prison master.
As long as we defeat it, it will be up to us to make the final decision afterwards.
"I'll have one too."
Another voice rang out from the crowd.
Xu Shen and the original owner's expressions suddenly changed, and they suddenly looked in the direction of the voice.
A figure appeared there quietly, and the people around seemed to be pushed away by a force and looked over there.
The one who showed up was actually Wanzhu!
Xu Shen and the original owner were both a little shocked. Wan Zhu was not dead?
They all clearly heard the screams of the Lords. How could the Lords escape from the presence of God?
The next moment, the original owner suddenly realized something, his face turned ugly, and he said gloomily: "Was it your clone that went there that day? What kind of clone ability was it? We couldn't even identify it."
Wan Zhu smiled and said, "You know, I have tens of thousands of abilities. You won't be able to remember them all even if I tell you."
"We are risking our lives, and you actually used a substitute. How despicable!" The original owner glared at them. They really almost died. If he and Xu Shen had not escaped, Wan Zhu would probably be the only one alive at this moment.
The one standing here and presiding over the situation today would be Wanzhu.
