Chapter 1051: Don’t Need To Bear With It Anymore
“I don’t know what others think, but in my eyes, Ruler is undoubtedly a Saint Ruler! He is hundreds of times stronger than that Great Shang Yinyu!”
“Saint Ruler?”
Renbo was slightly distracted and in a daze. He removed torture, he loved the people and even didn’t mind acting on the nobles.
Ruler really was a smart and intelligent Ruler.
Then Renbo broke into a laugh, “Great Shang Emperor Yuanchen is the publicly admitted intelligent Ruler. When he was young, he pulled them back from the brink, studying hard each day. Ruler is also a rare Ruler but to say that he is 100 times better is impossible. Xu Shu, you actually dare to say that.”
Xu Shu didn’t argue, he just scoffed coldly, he didn’t bother.
So what if that Yinyu was diligent and worked every day?
At the moment, Great Shang was still in chaos, and there was trouble all around? Their policies really made Great Shang worse!
An Emperor who works hard doesn’t mean that he is a good Emperor.
Although Zong Shou was lazy and pretty much didn’t bother about politics, he had a firm grip on matters in the country.
At the moment, Great Gan was also slowly entering a prosperous state.
Yinyu used his powers to order people around and wished that he could micromanage everything. Zong Shou worked through the system to select talents and hand them power without any fear at all.
They were both Rulers but one could see the difference in skill among them.
Those Confucians were really blind to think that Yinyu was a wise Ruler and that Zong Shou was preposterous and unruly.
He felt furious and unfair, he wanted to step up to fight with the Confucians.
However, he knew that it was useless even if he did. Those people had their brains filled with the words of the Saints and theories and weren’t able to take in anything else.
To argue with them was just asking to be humiliated. As for whether who was right and who was wrong, one would tell in the future.
Crossing this matter, Xu Shu squinted and changed the topic, “Ruler seems really confident this time! He must have a trump card. However, who knows how many people would die in this battle?”
When he talked about this matter, Renbo touched his beard, a weird expression appeared on his face.
Making grain into one system, controlling grain, and setting a minimum wage, all of these were ambitious plans. It didn’t look like something a Ruler without any confidence could think about.
“That might not be the case! Ruler wants to create a peaceful world to give the people a fair system. After the matter, even if he had to clean them out, he will do so according to the law. Anyway, both of us can just wait and see.”
At this point, Zong Shou didn’t know that his officials were discussing about all of this in private.
He still brought Dan’er, Yiren, and Chuxue to tour around and enjoy the scenery.
While playing he would take some time to focus on a few policies. After he managed to persuade people like Renbo and Hu Qianqiu, he was really casual and composed.
He enjoyed each day and felt really delighted.
The only thing that made him really unhappy was the news that spread out from various parts of the country.
Even with Great Gan, Sword Sect, and Common People’s Path working together, they weren’t able to cover all ground. They weren’t able to defend two cloud continents and one cloud island.
Many officials were killed and news of civilians being murdered spread over to Gantian Mountain.
Such things occurred a few years ago. At that time, he was furious and charged into Central Cloud Continent, crushing dozens of sects and killing 300,000 disciples to vent the hatred in his chest.
In the end, he forced Daoling Vast Habitat to lower their heads and he was also forced to leave the Cloud World.
However, at this moment, when he looked at those words he felt numb.
He mocked himself and deep down he felt a stabbing pain.
“So today, I have reached a stage where I see commoners as ants? As expected, I really am not cut out to be a good Ruler…”
If one was a wise Ruler, he would be furious and uneasy. Like what that Blood Saint Demon Lord said, he wouldn’t be able to eat and sleep well.
How would it be like him now, sitting so calmly and being so leisurely?
Zong Weiran had totally tossed aside Great Gan. Dan’er was still a kid, his bloodline had problems and couldn’t take over the King Position.
He had no one else to hand the position over to. So, he could only let more capable people manage the billions of people such that he would be able to not bother at all.
He was already numb to the deaths of his people and didn’t care at all. How could such a person be a Ruler? How would someone like him manage a country?
Although that was the case, he still felt rage attacking his heart. Him playing around every day was just on the surface.
“Demon Path…”
Each day that passed, each document he saw that reported a death would cause the killing intent in his chest to become thicker and he would feel more and more depressed.
However, he knew that he could only take it now, take it until the battle with Great Shang!
Seemingly sensing Zong Shou’s thoughts, the sword spirit of the God Refined Sword made noise every day, it wanted to get out of the sword sheath.
“Speaking of which, since that battle, this sword has not drank any blood.”
The God Refined Sword was the sword of kings and also the Sword of the Killing Path! It needed essence energy and vital energy to help it evolve.
The stronger the blood and the more people that were killed, the more satisfied it would be. It was pretty much evil…
Zong Shou suppressed the hatred and grievances deep down but he found himself often on the brink of exploding.
He wanted to just pull out his sword and just wipe out the Demon Sect!
On the seventh day of the second month, his sword path improved out of nowhere.
That Massacring Sword Intent actually broke through to the Late Spirit Realm.
It was just a step away from the Perfection Stage.
Although it was the most simple one out of all the swords he grasped but it gave many surprises.
“So that is the case, cultivating the Massacring Sword Intent doesn’t mean that one has to keep on killing. Suppressing and bearing with it is also another way…”
The breakthrough of his sword intent was because he couldn’t take it and suppress it anymore before it finally broke through.
That day he really couldn’t suppress it, slashing out with a sword and killing dozens of Demon Path cultivators near Gantian Mountain who had bad intentions.
It was also at that moment when he noticed that his Massacring Path Sword Intent improved.
After that breakthrough he suddenly became calmer and he stopped having to suppress his killing thoughts!
“With the Heavens as my witness, I swear to wipe out the Demon Path!”
“Who am I? The South Overlord, the Cloud World Southeast Overlord…”
He bore with it now, only so that he could wipe out the Demon Sect in the future.
A few years ago, the Taoist Faction killed millions of his people, and in the end, 37 of their sects were wiped out. Daoling Palace Head was also killed.
Currently, Great Gan had more than a million. If he didn’t wipe out the entire Demon Sect, how would he appease the souls of the dead under him?
Their Monster Race and the Demon Path had a bone-deep hatred, to begin with.
Two days later, the huge navy, led by Shi Ruolan, finally arrived in the Cloud World.
Zong Shou finally laughed out loud, holding his sword as he stepped out of the Hanyan Palace. He couldn’t take it anymore and there was no need either.
