World Advancement, Bearing Fruit

Chapter 13 World Advancement, Bearing Fruit

Empress Zhangsun shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, each person can only say five sentences during each exchange."

"So, in just a few words, there are some things that the other party didn't explain very clearly."

"But should we still have this third child?"

After pacing around a few times with a mixture of emotions, Li Shimin said, "Guanyinbi, my mind is also in turmoil right now."

"On one side is our Li family's empire, and on the other side are our children. I don't know how to weigh the options."

"Whenever I think about how to kill this kid without him even realizing it, I get an inexplicable intuition."

"Well, his arrival might have been ordained by fate."

"Perhaps it's not something we can avoid by deliberately avoiding it."

"Perhaps this calamity is destined for our Great Tang Dynasty. Even if it wasn't this third son, a fifth or sixth son would have brought about such a disaster."

"so."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun exclaimed with delight, "So Your Majesty, let's give birth to him!"

"At worst, we'll discipline them properly later."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I think so too. I guess because he was the third son, he wasn't taught how to be an emperor from a young age."

"Perhaps our eldest son died young, and I didn't have time to teach him before I was gone, which is why he doesn't know how to be an emperor."

"Or perhaps for other reasons, he wasn't properly educated."

"So after he is born, I will educate him properly and make sure he becomes wise and brave."

"Guanyinbi, please don't feel sorry for me in this matter."

"As the saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.' This kind of rebellious son can't be taught without the rod."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is right!"

"These rebellious sons must be properly disciplined from now on. They should be disciplined when necessary, and there should be no leniency!"

"If he really becomes unruly in the future, Your Majesty, feel free to beat him, beat him severely. I support you."

"I'll have someone make a sturdier rattan cane tomorrow, so I can use it to properly discipline this unfilial son later."

Empress Zhangsun was a very kind mother who loved her children dearly and rarely punished them.

However, to everyone's surprise, this time they were in complete agreement with Li Shimin, both planning to discipline each other with sticks after their third son, Li Zhi, was born.

Li Zhi, who was not yet born at that time, probably had no idea what mistake he had made.

"What the hell is going on? I'm not even born yet, and my own parents are already thinking about how to discipline me with a stick?"

"Holy crap, it's not even born yet, how did I become a rebellious child?"

"Damn it, Mom, are you really my mother? I haven't even been born yet, and you're already preparing a cane to beat me. Is this what a mother should do?"

"I'm innocent!"

Li Zhi, who was not yet born at this time, had no idea that he almost didn't get born because of a few words from Gu Changqing.

Having finally been born, he will face countless beatings and hardships from now on.

From then on, his childhood would be extremely unforgettable.

……

at the same time.

Empress Zhangsun left her doubts with Gu Changqing.

"Thank you for the reminder, but I still have some questions. Please enlighten me."

"Why didn't our eldest son inherit the throne, but instead our fourth son? Was it because we didn't educate him properly from a young age?"

How did he almost lose the Tang Dynasty? How could it be rectified?

……

Wild world.

Gu Changqing is currently lecturing to Xiao Sheng in the Yuan Yi Realm.

Suddenly, I received a system notification sound.

He then discovered the message Empress Zhangsun had left for him.

Then, he started replying to the other party's messages.

"Hello, Empress Zhangsun. Your eldest son, Li Chengqian, was instigated by Hou Junji to rebel after your death, intending to kill his father and seize the throne. He was deposed as crown prince. Your second son, Li Tai, is more talented than any other prince. Crown Prince Li Chengqian suffered from a foot ailment, and after his personality changed drastically, he lost the emperor's favor and developed a desire to seize the throne."

"Emperor Taizong gradually favored Prince Wei, Li Tai, so Li Chengqian was worried and sent someone to assassinate Li Tai, but the attempt failed. Li Tai's pressure was also partly the reason why Li Chengqian plotted a rebellion."

"When Prince Wei, Li Tai, was about to become the Crown Prince, he promised Emperor Taizong that he would kill his own son and pass the throne to Prince Jin, Li Zhi. His conduct was questionable. Therefore, after the Crown Prince's rebellion failed, in order to save the lives of his three legitimate sons, Emperor Taizong demoted Prince Wei, Li Tai, to Prince of Donglai, and appointed Li Zhi as the Crown Prince."

"Li Shimin had a concubine named Wu. During Emperor Taizong's lifetime, Concubine Wu had an ambiguous relationship with Li Zhi. After Emperor Taizong's death, she was sent to the White Horse Temple and became a nun. However, Li Zhi longed for her day and night. Later, disregarding ancestral precepts, he recalled her to the palace and made her a concubine. He later deposed Empress Wang and made her empress, who was known as Empress Wu."

"Because Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi) was frail and sickly, Empress Wu often helped him handle state affairs, and later ruled from behind the curtain. After Emperor Gaozong's death, Empress Wu seized power, changed the name of the Tang Dynasty to the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and became the first female emperor in Chinese history."

【Ding! 】

Congratulations on successfully interacting with 1 friends!

You have obtained one fragment of the World Tree Origin.

Fragments of the World Tree's origin.

This thing is a Chaos-level treasure.

Moreover, it is closely related to Gu Changqing's original Tree of Life. Perhaps after absorbing this fragment of origin, the Primordial Realm and the Tree of Life may directly advance.

And he will then be able to enter the realm of the multiverse.

After Gu Changqing received the reward.

Above his original Tree of Life, a multicolored fragment of the World Tree's origin appeared out of thin air.

The appearance of this fragment of origin caused the surrounding space to tremble violently, and a powerful and profound aura swept over us.

Even above Mount Buzhou, strange phenomena appeared.

Gu Changqing was not affected by this at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of familiarity with it.

He knew this was because they were both formed from fragments of the World Tree.

That's good, it will make it easier for him to refine.

So Gu Changqing absorbed the fragment of origin into his body and began to refine it.

While refining, Gu Changqing was also continuously receiving the inheritance of the Chaos Demon God World Tree.

At this moment, in the mysterious space of inheritance.

Gu Changqing encountered the Chaos Demon God, the World Tree, which surprised even him!

He even saw images of the World Tree battling Pangu in the inheritance space.

In that great calamity of creation, the World Tree, though powerful, was ultimately no match for Pangu. It held out for less than three minutes before being cleaved into pieces by the great god Pangu.

Although a small portion fell into the newly created primordial world, most of the fragments still drifted into the depths of chaos.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it will be another 10,000 yuan event.

at this time.

A great joyous event has occurred in the Yuan Yi Realm.

The thousands of flowers that Gu Changqing had carefully nurtured day and night finally bore fruit.

A total of 8,888 green fruits hung abundantly on Xiao Sheng's Tree of Life.

Each one exudes a strong sense of life and nature.

At first glance, these eight thousand fruits were no bigger than a fist, but now, thousands of years later, they have grown to the size of a bucket.

Moreover, Gu Changqing could clearly see it through the fruit wall with his divine sense.

Inside, there was already a small figure that was somewhat human-shaped and had its body curled up.

Gu Changqing felt a strong sense of anticipation, like a grandparent longing for a grandchild.

Of course, besides this one thing, there's another one.

With nearly a trillion innate divine choices now opening up worlds, his Primordial One Realm and the nine autonomous worlds have also advanced.

The Yuan Yi Realm has also broken through to the level of the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Gu Changqing was also able to break through to the level of the Lord of the Multiverse.

Moreover, the Nine Realms have also reached the point where they have peak small worlds.

The fact that there are nearly a hundred billion innate deities, all of whom are the main gods who have opened up small worlds, demonstrates the strength of the divine foundation.

Even though the paths of immortals and demons have become dominant, the path of gods has not declined as a result.

Several years ago, Gu Changqing received a message from the Celestial Ancestor.

The leaders of the immortal and demonic paths, Hongjun and Luohou, are both trying to win over various powerful beings, suggesting a major battle is brewing.

Gu Changqing was well aware of the plans of both the immortal and demonic paths.

Therefore, he specifically notified all personnel belonging to the Divine Path to stay away from the western wilderness.

Sure enough, not long after that.

The final battle of the Great Calamity of Dao and Demon has arrived.
