Chapter 231: Taking sides
Inside Yuexuan.

Di Hong looked at the item on the tray in front of him. It was a blue triangular cover.

Looking at this thing, Di Hong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

He got this thing so easily.

The thing in front of him is the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, the Vast Sea Universe Cover, and also the Heart of the Sea God. This thing didn't reach Tang San's hands but ended up in his hands.

Not long ago, Di Yuan discovered this thing in Guangtian Dou Treasury. He couldn't study it thoroughly at the moment so he simply sent it to Yuexuan. He thought Di Hong should understand it.

"This must be the Vast Sea Universe Cover." Tang Yuehua sat aside and looked at the cover.

"You know this thing?" Di Hong was a little surprised.

Tang Yuehua nodded slightly.

“I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t seen it.”

"I didn't expect that the Vast Sea Universe Cover would look like this."

"What's the use of this thing?"

She had heard a lot about the Hanhai Qiankunzhao, a national treasure, before, but no one knew what it was used for.

Di Hong shook his head without explaining.

He is now thinking, how can this thing be delivered to Tang San? After all, he needs Tang San to fight against the Spirit Hall. How can he fight against the two gods of the Spirit Hall without becoming a god? But he can't be too deliberate. After all, he and Tang San are enemies, although not mortal enemies.

The next step is to release those people of Avalanche and some people loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire, let them escape and reorganize their forces. Of course, he also has to assist the Spirit Hall in taking down the Barak Kingdom. As long as the Spirit Hall takes down the Barak Kingdom, they will not have to face Tang San and the others directly.

Tang San will also directly confront the Spirit Hall.

Looking at Tang Yuehua, he immediately came up with a solution.

"Yuehua, take this Vast Sea Universe Cover with you when you go to Haotian Sect."

"And then you just..."

As he spoke, he leaned over to Tang Yuehua's ear and whispered.

After listening to this, Tang Yuehua glanced at him.

"How can you be so mean? You still take advantage of the mistress even though she is like this."

Di Hong looked at her with an evil smile.

"Of course I'm a bad guy. I never said I was a good guy."

Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at him, snorted, picked up the Hanhai Qiankun Cover and left.

The siege on Shrek has been lifted, and peace has returned to Tiandou City, but the martial law has not been lifted because there are still unstable factors in the city. Di Yang has also come to Tiandou City.

After arriving in Tiandou City, he did not go directly to the palace, but went to Yuexuan first.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time.

Di Hong looked at his elder brother in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, you are old."

Di Yang smiled.

"People always get old. Maybe in a few years, you won't be able to see me anymore."

"Look at you, you still look like you did when you were young."

Di Hong felt a little sad. His own brother was now an old man. He would live to be over a hundred years old at most. His talent was limited, so it was basically impossible for him to become a Titled Douluo. He also didn't want to pursue the realm of Titled Douluo.

"Okay, don't be sad. Big brother is not dead yet." Di Yang was speechless.

"Even if I die, I want to live out my life as an emperor, unify this continent, and then die."

Having said that, he stood up and walked to the balcony, looking at the sky outside with his hands behind his back.

"Fourth brother, now we have become the eternal traitors, destined to be cursed for eternity."

Di Hong didn't really care about the eternal infamy.

"Then do better and make outstanding achievements. If one generation of emperors is not enough, then two or three generations will do."

"As long as we have done enough good deeds, people in later generations will overlook our sins."

“History is written by the victors.”

He knew very well that as long as the emperor of the Di family could achieve great achievements that would shock the world, people in later generations would automatically ignore their sins, and someone would even help them cleanse themselves.

As long as the merits are great enough, sins are nothing more than trifles.

"Hahahahahaha." Di Yang laughed.

"That's all nonsense, but it makes some sense." "As for great achievements, perhaps I can't do it. I can only leave it to my children and grandchildren."

"After all, I'm getting old."

Di Hong does not want to be an emperor, but has been preparing to become a god. The same is true for Di Yuan. All his family members are aiming to become gods, not emperors.

In the face of absolute power, what is imperial power?

The throne is just a chair. What people worship is not the emperor but the imperial power, the imperial power that holds power, not a false imperial power.

When an emperor loses power, no one will kneel down to him anymore.

Di Yang did not stay in Yuexuan for long. After sitting for a while, he went to the palace.

Although it had experienced fierce fighting, the palace was not damaged much and was still very intact.

The palace is now empty. All the palace maids and attendants have been expelled and replaced with people from the kingdom. Di Yuan does not believe them. Although they have been replaced with people from the kingdom, the number of people is too small, making the entire palace exceptionally empty.

After entering the palace, he also experienced the feeling of sitting on the throne. He didn't know why, it was just a chair, but he had a different feeling about it.

This is not a feeling that a king of a vassal kingdom could ever experience.

Di Yuan walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Di Yang.

"Father, how do we deal with the ministers and nobles in Tiandou City?"

Since the occupation of Tiandou City, the ministers and nobles of the Tiandou Empire have never been dealt with, let alone summoned.

Di Yang thought about it.

"Let's give them a chance. Too much killing is not good. Gather them in the square tomorrow."

"Yes." Di Yuan bowed and turned to leave.

The night was quiet.

The next day.

In the square outside the palace.

All the nobles and ministers in Tiandou City gathered here.

They noticed that there were two flagpoles erected on both sides of the square, the right flagpole flying the Vermillion Bird flag and the left flagpole flying the Swan flag.

They are not fools. They are asked to make a choice: to continue to be loyal to the Tiandou royal family or to be loyal to the Di family.

Everyone had a different expression and everyone had their own thoughts.

In secret, the people of the Min clan had been keeping an eye on the situation in the square.

The kingdom's soldiers have surrounded the ministers and nobles.

Di Yuan was dressed in armor, holding a sword in his hand, staring at those people, and the soldiers around him were all murderous.

Di Yang did not show up, but stood on the palace wall and watched them.

After taking his gaze away from them, Di Yuan spoke coldly.

"Everyone, you were once ministers and nobles of the Tiandou Empire."

"But today is different. The demise of the Tiandou Empire is already certain, and the army you were expecting to come to support the emperor has not arrived."

"But we are willing to give you a chance."

“Two flags.”

"Swan flag, Vermillion Bird flag."

"You guys choose one."

After saying this, he waited quietly.

No one chose it at first, but after a while, an old man in gorgeous clothes came out.

He pointed at Di Yuan and scolded.

"Rebel!"

"Emperor Xue Ye treated your Di family so well, but you rebelled and slaughtered the royal family. Your Di family will not die a good death."

Di Yuan didn't care about the old man's scolding.

After cursing, the old man stood under the swan flag. If there was a first one, there would be a second one.

More and more people began to take sides.
