Chapter 525 The ceremony of worshiping the heaven and enthroning the throne begins and the identity
The golden morning light bloomed with soft brilliance, as if bathing in the grace of heaven.
Mingdu, which had been in turmoil for several days, seemed very quiet today. The originally bustling and noisy streets were deserted. Except for some shops selling daily necessities, almost most shops chose to close on this day.
Because today is the day when Xu Zihuang, the only son of King Zihuang, ascends the throne.
Xu Zihuang, the current controller of the Sun and Moon Empire, will hold a ceremony to worship the heaven and enthrone the throne in the southern suburbs of Mingdu today. Paying homage to the heaven and earth, and also paying homage to the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Empire. At the same time, he appeared in front of the people of the Sun and Moon Empire and won their hearts.
Xu Tianran's family colluded with the evil soul master to seek power and usurp the throne, so they were not in the right position. Now that Xu Zihuang is rehabilitating his father, King Zihuang, and the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, he is undoubtedly acting in a righteous manner. The mood of the vast majority of the people in Mingdu was extremely high. Before dawn, people had already followed the continuous and dense flow of people to the southern suburbs of Mingdu, preparing to welcome the arrival of this national feast.
Of course, there are a few more rational people who simply want to witness this historical moment with their own eyes and see if this young ruler can lead the Sun-Moon Empire to a further step.
As for negative news such as conspiracy theories, none of them spread among the public.
Xu Zihuang's order to return the territory of the Tianhun Empire did directly harm the vital interests of some people. However, the five soul mentors of the Hand of the Protector and the entire Mingdetang have declared their allegiance to Xu Zihuang. Even if these people are dissatisfied, they simply do not have the guts to make such a small move.
As long as they dare to incite the people, they will be liquidated immediately.
In short, the public opinion in the Ming capital is generally very favorable to Xu Zihuang.
On all the main roads in Mingdu, soldiers wearing uniform silver armor stood on both sides, and a strong sense of murder almost permeated the entire city. Under the pressure of the army, the people continued to march towards the southern suburbs in an orderly manner.
The scale of this heaven-sacrifice and enthronement ceremony was so grand that the Sun-Moon Empire even mobilized an army of more than 100,000 people for this purpose.
On the outskirts of the southern suburbs, a huge altar stood here. The altar itself is an oddly shaped platform, with a circle on the left and a crescent-shaped neighbor on the right. It means the sun and the moon, which is the symbol of the sun and moon empire.
This altar has existed for thousands of years. If the emperors of the Sun and Moon Empire in the past dynasties had made any great achievements, they would offer sacrifices to heaven here to show their achievements.
For this reason, Xu Tianran recently spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to renovate the altar, preparing to worship heaven here after unifying the continent and become the eternal emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire. But unfortunately, before he had time to do this, he was killed by Xu Zihuang in the palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.
The renovated circular altar covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters and even reaches a height of 100 feet, which is much higher than the tallest building in Mingdu. It will definitely become one of the iconic buildings of the Sun and Moon Empire in the future.
Above the first platform, there are six consecutive platforms. Each platform has the same shape, shrinking one by one. When we reach the top platform, it is only one thousand square meters in size.
The entire seven-story platform is colored red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple from bottom to top. Among them, purple is the most noble and is also the color of the top platform. There are a total of nine steps leading to the top. Nine is the number, which means nobility and auspiciousness.
In the four directions of the altar, the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group, the Terror Claw Soul Instructor Group, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group and the Demonic Whale Soul Instructor Group have built soul guidance device positions and are ready. The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group is guarding the first floor of the altar.
However, in order to prepare for emergencies, Kong Deming did not come forward, but hid in the dark. This is also to avoid unnecessary disputes. After all, it was Kong Deming who led the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group to destroy the Royal Family of the Sky Soul Empire.
Of the total 100,000 troops mobilized this time, there were another 50,000 troops surrounding the altar. The remaining troops each have their own affiliations and maintain order on the scene.
At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the sunlight shone on the majestic Sun and Moon Ceremony rooftop, scattering a gorgeous colorful halo. From a distance, it is extremely spectacular.
A group of high-ranking officials from the Sun and Moon Empire began to ascend the altar. According to their status and status, they stood on the second to sixth floors of the altar.
Walking at the front was the leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen. Today, Jing Hongchen put on a luxurious black and gold robe, which was particularly grand. Although he looked a little funny with his short and fat figure, his face was flushed, and his small eyes were shining with excitement and pride.
Brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen followed him, and the three of them arrived at the sixth floor of the altar, which was also closest to the top floor.
Four years have passed, and the soul power cultivation of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen has reached a level close to the Contra realm, and they have become much more mature. Especially Xiao Hongchen, who was completely no longer as arrogant as before. Her long silver hair was neatly combed and spread behind her, and her blue and green eyes shone with a deep and calm light.
Even though he was extremely concerned about Xu Zihuang, the only son of King Zihuang, there was no hint of the emotional fluctuations in his heart from his expression.
Compared to his elder brother Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen still retains more or less the temperament he had as a girl in the past, and his beautiful ice blue eyes are full of curiosity. Especially when I think back to my grandfather's inexplicable words and eyes when they were talking at night last night.
The sunlight poured on Meng Hongchen's long burgundy hair, shimmering with a faint luster. Now twenty-three years old, her figure is even more plump than Ma Xiaotao's back then. He clasped his hands behind his back and tangled his fingertips in his hair.
Along with Jing Hongchen and his grandson, there were nearly twenty ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire who ascended the sixth level of the altar. Bupo Douluo Zheng Zhan, who once presided over the continent-wide young soul master elite competition, was among them. Star Douluo Ye Yulin, who was originally stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, was also recruited back.
The strength and background of these two people are almost the same as Jing Hongchen, but Jing Hongchen is trusted by the new leader of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Bupo Douluo Zheng Zhan and Star Douluo Ye Yulin looked at each other, and then looked at the proud Jing Hongchen in front of them. Jing Hongchen originally controlled Mingdetang, and now that he has won this honor, I am afraid that they will always be outnumbered by Jing Hongchen in the future.
Wherever there are people, there are disputes. However, the competition between Zheng Zhan, Ye Yulin and Jing Hongchen was head-on. They would not plot against each other, let alone do anything that would endanger the interests of the Sun and Moon Empire.
As time went by, the people of the Sun and Moon Empire had completely surrounded the Sun and Moon Sacrifice Tower. There are more than 20 million people from the Sun and Moon Empire living in Mingdu, which is the true core of the Sun and Moon Empire. There are at least tens of millions of people coming to watch the ceremony today.
Jing Hongchen raised his head and glanced at the sky, then took a few steps forward and said loudly with a smile: "I would like to welcome all distinguished guests from the three empires of Tianhun, Douling, Xingluo and Shrek Academy to this ceremony. On behalf of His Majesty, I would like to express my most sincere respect to you."
The sound of Jing Hongchen's soul power filling up spread throughout the audience.
In the distance, from the direction of Mingdu, a team composed of gold and silver slowly came towards the sun and moon ceremony rooftop. Wherever this team passed, the army opened the way. The chariots they rode were the largest in the Sun and Moon Empire to welcome foreign guests.
The eyes of tens of millions of people in Mingdu gathered over, and the whole place fell silent for an instant.
"Woo, woo, woo -" the trombone sounded like the low voice of a giant beast, and the chariot passed through the dense crowd and arrived at an open area directly in front of the Sun and Moon Festival rooftop.
This is an exclusive viewing area set up by the Sun and Moon Empire for foreign guests originally from the Douluo Continent. It is also closer to the Sun and Moon Festival rooftop. Here, four areas are clearly divided. Each area is filled with luxurious sofas and tables, and there are also awnings.
Everyone who originally belonged to Douluo Continent stepped out of the carriage and took their seats one after another.
Present at the ceremony on behalf of the Tianhun Empire were Queen Vina and the powerful Noumenon Sect leaders headed by Du Bushui.
When issuing the invitation, the Sun Moon Empire showed sufficient sincerity and magnanimity, and did not limit the number of spectators who originally belonged to various forces in the Douluo Continent. However, the Douluo Continent originally maintained a fairly tacit understanding, and the number of people on each side was kept between five and six.
Like the Tianhun Empire, the Noumenon Sect only had five super Douluo including Du Bushui.
Those present from Shrek Academy were Elder Xuan, Elder Song, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er and Zhang Lexuan. Among these five people, only Zhang Lexuan's soul power cultivation level is lower than the Super Douluo realm.
On the Xingluo Empire's side, Xu Jiujiu is the leader, and there are also five titled Douluo who protect her safety. It was the royal family worship led by Mr. Yang, the chief minister of the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.
Mr. Yang is a tall old man, at least over two meters tall, but his appearance looks much older than Mr. Xuan and Mr. Du Bushu. His pair of dark golden eyes are very powerful when they open and close. The whole person feels like a ferocious humanoid beast.
He is also the strongest person in the Star Luo Empire, a level ninety-eight Super Douluo. Among the other four royal families in the Star Luo Empire, there are also two familiar faces. They are Broken Star Douluo and Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu.
As for the Dou Ling Empire's lineup, it was much inferior. The only super Douluo are Tianyang Douluo and Xu Sanshi's great uncle, and the remaining three are just ordinary titled Douluo.
It's no wonder that Xue Lingxun must persuade Xu Sanshi's father. This lineup is really too shabby.
Xu Sanshi and Xue Lingxun sat down in the rest area belonging to the Dou Ling Empire, smiling and nodding to the other three parties.
Mr. Xuan glared at Xu Sanshi and cursed with a smile.
"You, the prince, are quite decent at being a prince."
"Mr. Xuan, if I have a choice, I don't want to be this so-called prince."
Xu Sanshi sighed helplessly.
Du Buushi looked at Jing Hongchen who was on the sixth floor of the altar with a carefree look, and snorted disdainfully.
"I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Sun and Moon Empire today? If they are really willing to stop the war, that's it. If they are still evil, don't blame me for going crazy here."
"Old poisonous monster, don't be impulsive." Old Xuan warned with a slightly changed expression.
"After all, this is the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire."
"Xuanzi, are you so scared?" Du Bushu raised his eyebrows immediately.
"With so many of us joining forces, why are we afraid that the Sun Moon Empire's bullshit soul mentor group won't succeed?!"
For a long time, he sat on the sofa with a smile, arms folded across his chest, and just listened to the conversation between Mr. Xuan and Du Bushit with twinkling eyes.
If possible, it would be an opportunity to take this opportunity to attack the Sun and Moon Empire. Anyway, Shrek Academy and Noumenon Sect will definitely bear the brunt, and their Star Luo Empire might be able to reap the benefits.
Everyone had their own thoughts and happened to ignore Wei Na who was silent from beginning to end.
Weina was dressed in a luxurious crown, sitting in a dignified posture, always staring at the top of the sun and moon ceremony rooftop.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Jing Hongchen suddenly led a group of ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire, knelt down on one knee and saluted in the direction of the seventh floor of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice, and even shouted "long live" three times.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
As if echoing the actions of Jing Hongchen and others, the senior officials of the Sun and Moon Empire on the other floors of the Sun and Moon Festival rooftop also knelt down on the ground. Then came the 100,000 soldiers, uniformly raising their weapons in the air and shouting long live the mountain.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Finally, tens of millions of people from the Sun and Moon Empire, affected by the passionate and warm atmosphere at the scene, fell to the ground in the direction of the top of the Sun and Moon Festival rooftop. As far as the eye could see, everything was pitch black.
The crowd's cheers rose like a wave, a real wave. The sound wave composed of tens of millions of people spread far away like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
The golden sun rises from the east, and when the sun rises three poles high. On the seventh floor of the Sun and Moon Festival rooftop, there are many gorgeous patterns engraved on it. A huge six-pointed star glowed with a faint golden light under the sunlight. In the center of the six-pointed star, the sun and moon patterns are even more dazzling. The sun is golden, the moon is silver, and the gold, sun, silver, and moon complement each other.
As the magical golden and silver halo rose, a tall and tall figure stepped out of the void.
The young man wears a purple gold crown with nine dragons and pearls on his head, and a gorgeous brocade robe of the Dragon Reflecting Sun and Moon Emperor. Her long black hair was blowing in the wind, her golden sun and silver moon earrings were moving left and right, and there was only unruliness and majesty in her deep purple eyes.
Xu Zihuang was suspended in the sky above the top of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice Terrace, like the ruler of the entire world, accepting the worship of everyone. It was as if countless fortunes and beliefs were converging on him.
Countless people present felt as if they were struck by lightning.
The reaction from the people who originally belonged to Douluo Continent was particularly strong. Except for a few royal ministers from the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire who had never seen Xu Zihuang, everyone stood up suddenly without exception.
Seeing this familiar figure, Mr. Xuan felt as if his inner faith had completely collapsed. Apart from the shock, there was also despair.
Xu Zihuang's appearance here had an indescribable impact on him.
His eyes instantly lost color, and he muttered to himself in despair.
"Yu Tianhuang, Xu Zihuang..."
"That's it. You lied to all of us." Mr. Xuan smiled miserably.
