Chapter 813: Chapter 816: Imperial Decree 1004_1

After killing the God Transformation from a hundred thousand kilometers away, the surge of Star Power in Lin Zhen gradually calmed down.

It wasn’t the clone that killed Jitilu, but his main body. Even though Jitilu was quite far from Lin Zhen’s main body, he was still within Lin Zhen’s line of sight. At the moment of his teleportation, Lin Zhen had marked him. The second Naked Singularity was activated, and Jitilu, far away in spatial distance, was killed.

“Nine Spirits, let’s go check it out.”

The Nine-headed Lion had killed three Hellhounds. Three Hellhounds, nine heads, were just perfect for him to restrain. Content with devouring the Hellhounds, he quickly swallowed them all upon Lin Zhen’s call.

After continuously devouring the Nine-headed Snake and Hellhounds, Nine Spirits was now robust and hearty, carrying Lin Zhen towards the prisoner’s carriage.

With the appearance of the main body, the clone automatically returned to the inner world.

After walking a circle around the prisoner’s carriage, Lin Zhen approached Emperor Zhu Ziheng of the Qin Kingdom.

“Emperor of Da Qin, I hope you’re well!”

“Cough… cough…! Lin Zhen, save me!”

“Lin Zhen, come here and get me out.”

“I am the Emperor of Da Jin, Lin Zhen come save me quickly.”

“I am willing to regard you as the National Master, Lin Zhen, come to Da Zhao, hurry and free me!”

“I…..!”

Feeling overwhelmed, Lin Zhen pressed down on both hands and roared, “Everyone, shut up!”

Feeling his master’s annoyance, the Nine-headed Lion also gave a furious roar. The aura of the God Transformation beast silenced everyone.

“You all should be more restrained, and stop the annoying ‘I’ nonsense. Remember what you are now. You are prisoners, not exalted emperors. Don’t put on any imperial pretenses before me.”

All these emperors slightly wrinkled their brows, not expecting Lin Zhen to dare scold them.

Even though he was a Holy Land student, he wasn’t a Holy Land Resident. As rulers of significant kingdoms, they didn’t really value the status of a Holy Land student.

Of course, Lin Zhen saw the thoughts of these emperors and snorted coldly. “It seems you still can’t see the situation clearly. Here is the Buffer Zone between the Endless Star Sea and the Original World’s surface. Your country’s surveillance systems can’t see your situation. And look at…”

Lin Zhen’s gaze swept a circle: “Many countries here even put a bounty on my head, right? Like this Emperor of Da Wei, you’re allies with Da Liang, right? You were part of the bounty on me. Tell me, should I save you?”

The Emperor of Da Wei just moved his lips, not knowing what to say. If he had known it would come to this, why would he have helped Nan Liang put a bounty on Lin Zhen?

“And then the Emperor of Da Qin, Da Qin’s hostility towards me is not small. As the emperor, shouldn’t you be responsible for this? Should I let you go back and continue to have your Qin Kingdom oppose me?”

Zhu Ziheng felt somewhat wronged, thinking to himself that Lin Zhen offended people of the Qin Kingdom before he took office. How could they blame him?

But now all of them were in the prisoner carriage. After recognizing the situation, no one dared to oppose Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen looked around and saw that these emperors had lost their pride. He nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s not impossible for me to let you go, but, I, Lin Zhen, am no saint. Freedom can be granted, but you must agree to my conditions.”

“What conditions? Just say it. I… no, we agree.”

Zhu Ziheng was the first to respond.

Lin Zhen said, “Very simple, each of you has to announce to your citizens that I, Lin Zhen, will become an honorary citizen of your country, enjoying all public facilities of your country and your subordinate countries for free, and having priority privileges in all public places. This isn’t too difficult.”

“Not difficult at all, it’s too simple!”

“I… I agree, Mr. Lin Zhen, you will absolutely be an honorary citizen in Da Jin, enjoy VIP treatment. The royal family will take care of all your expenses in our country!”

“I also agree, same for us in Da Ming. I can grant you the identity of an honorary citizen in our Dimensional Universe. Da Ming and our four subordinate countries will always be your friends.”

“I will announce to the people of Da Qin as soon as I return, anyone who dares to oppose Lin Zhen will be treated as a comrade of the Endless Star Sea. They are clearly members of the disgusting Imperial Clan and will not be forgiven!”

“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll announce it as soon as I get back!”

Emperors in the nearby carriages were all talking at once, Lin Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

“Great, also, alas, funds have been a little tight recently. I believe your majesties can provide some support.” Lin Zhen finally revealed his true intentions. These were all emperors, super fat sheep, who, if not properly exploited, would be wasted treasures from this rare opportunity.

“No problem, but we are being restrained now, the Dimensional Universe can’t be opened. As long as you, Mr. Lin Zhen, let us go, I personally am willing to transfer you 100 billion as a thank you!”

“Same for me, 100 billion!”

“I also want 100 billion!”

These emperors were quite clever. No one was raising the price high, to avoid becoming a target.

However, Lin Zhen simply waved his hand. Too much money would provoke jealousy. One hundred billion was not a small amount for anyone. Each person could give 10 billion, and there were 1,400 emperors here, which would make it 14 trillion.

He was busy with cultivation recently and didn’t have much time to earn money by alchemy. This would save him a lot of time.

When he stated that each person only needed ten billion, the emperors, who were initially agonized, were actually somewhat grateful to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen waved the Sword Gang in his hand, cutting open each prison carriage and freeing these emperors.

Those who could become emperors of a kingdom were basically Three Flowers Warriors, with very strong recovery methods. They certainly wouldn’t be lacking medicinal resources.

So, after Lin Zhen released them, the emperors each swallowed their medicines, meditated, and quickly recovered.

Sitting on Nine Spirits’ back, Lin Zhen watched these emperors in dragon robes, finding the scene quite strange.

After a while, the first emperor transferred the funds to Lin Zhen.

He published his Dimensional Universe account number, all of the emperors added Lin Zhen as a friend, and billions were transferred over one after another.

The notification constantly pinged, and soon, Lin Zhen’s account held a staggering fourteen trillion!

“Hehe! Your Majesties, wealth is extrinsic after all. I must not forget your life-saving grace to me. The things you’ve promised me must be done soon.”

Emperor Zhu Ziheng of the Qin Kingdom was the first to leave a message in the Dimensional Universe and on the Qin Kingdom forum.

“I am Emperor Zhu Ziheng of the Da Qin Empire, now issuing a royal decree. As of now, I appoint Mr. Lin Zhen, the current Holy Land Warrior of Falling Star Lake, Fire Kirin Clan Leader, and Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild from our four subordinated countries, East Qin, West Qin, South Qin, North Qin, as an honorary citizen of Qin Kingdom. Within our territory, all public facilities are free for Mr. Lin Zhen, and he even has the priority to use them.”

“All Qin people must not hold any hostile attitude towards Mr. Lin Zhen or they will be accused of colluding with the Endless Star Sea races. All allies of Qin Kingdom should also offer all public services to Mr. Lin Zhen for free. Any costs incurred will be reimbursed by the royal family of Da Qin Empire. Decree issued!”

Once this order was out, it shook the chaotic Original World.

The disappearance of more than a thousand emperors was unprecedented in the Original World.

Each emperor held an invaluable position, each leading a massive empire with four subordinating kingdoms and managing billions of citizens.

The disappearance of one would’ve been acceptable, but the simultaneous disappearance of 1,400 emperors sent shockwaves through the Original World.

Each emperor’s disappearance was not a coincidence. Those close to them also disappeared, clearly indicating a planned action.

Apart from the Endless Star Sea, no one could have achieved this.

Countless armies began their operations, trying to trace the whereabouts of the emperors, but after such a long preparation, how could the other party let them catch up so easily?

Everyone knew that these people had fled to the stars, but the stars were too vast to locate them.

Just as people thought that the field of the Original World was about to undergo political shifts, Emperor Zhu Ziheng of Qin Kingdom issued a royal decree.

Everyone knew about the conflict between Lin Zhen and Qin Kingdom, but it was breathtaking that Zhu Ziheng would declare Lin Zhen an honorary citizen at this time!

Had Zhu Ziheng been kidnapped by Lin Zhen, forcing him to issue such a decree?

Before their shock could end, the second decree appeared.

This time, the decree was issued by the Emperor of Da Zhao.

The content of the decree was identical to what Zhu Ziheng had issued. Qin Kingdom was simply replaced by Zhao Kingdom, and Zhu Ziheng’s name was replaced by his own.

If Zhu Ziheng possibly being kidnapped by Lin Zhen was plausible, then it wouldn’t make sense for the Emperor of Da Zhao to be kidnapped too.

Qin Kingdom and Da Zhao were separated by vast mountains and rivers, it would be impossible for Lin Zhen to kidnap both at the same time.

But this was just the beginning.

Following Qin Kingdom and Da Zhao, Da Han, Da Ming, Da Jin, Da Liao, Da Wei… The emperors of major nations in the Original World issued decrees one after another.

The content of the decrees was the same for everyone, completely copied from Zhu Ziheng’s decree without any changes.

1,400 national emperors, with even 5,600 dependent states underneath them, along with their alliances, each country had dozens of allied nations. Thus, in an instant, Lin Zhen gained the privileges of nearly hundreds of thousands of states!

At first, people were shocked, then they became numb.

In the end, some even doubted whether their Dimensional Universe systems were broken?

Some suspected it was a joke. How could so many emperors simultaneously announce such astonishing news? Wasn’t Lin Zhen some form of currency to be loved by all?

Note that Lin Zhen’s status isn’t as simple as being an honorary citizen. No one could even offend him, or else they would be treated as rebels in the Endless Star Sea. This wasn’t a citizenship, it was practically deified status!

Many people immediately went to verify the identities of the emperors, but the verification results were undeniable. Apart from the emperors, no one had the authority to issue decrees on the forums of their own countries in the Dimensional Universe.

This was true!

All of this was true!

It wasn’t an illusion!

All over the Original World, countless people stood with their mouths wide open unable to close them, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.
