Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 253: Reborn?

Zagreus had no intention of hiding anything. He turned his wrist slightly, and in an instant the entire hall seemed to be covered by an invisible hand. The originally bright room suddenly became extremely dark.

The originally burning candle flames seemed to be summoned by some force and flew away from the wicks. They danced and circled in the air following Zagreus's gestures, and then flew back to their original positions one by one in the surprised gaze of the old emperor.

As the candlelight in the room became brighter again, the old emperor naturally saw that this kind of control power had definitely reached the level of refining the spirit and returning to the void. Neither his prince nor anyone in the Nanzhao Kingdom would possess such strength.

"This...what happened to Fengji?" The old emperor hesitated for a while, but still asked after looking into Zagros' eyes.

"He's dead, it wasn't me who did it, and you're going to die too!"

The old emperor was a little lonely. Things had come to this point. He had long known who had made the move, but he did not dare to resist because the end of resistance would be the destruction of the country. The Longyuan Dynasty could allow vassal states to become strong, but it would never allow high-level cultivators to appear in the vassal states. The old emperor was a little too radical, so he was going to die.

The reason why he chose to remain silent at the last moment was because he thought that as long as he died, the Longyuan Dynasty would let his son and daughter go, but he did not expect that Fengji, who was devoted to seeking the truth, would still be implicated.

The old emperor sighed, "What do you want?"

"I want an order from you to pass the throne to me openly before you die!" Zagreus wanted official recognition so that he could intervene in the battle of destiny through the destiny of Nanzhao.

"Yes, you should be a cultivator who has reached the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void. As long as you are recognized by the destiny of a country, you can break through to the realm of land immortals. But don't forget that there are other gods around. Nanzhao is just a tiny country. This level of national destiny doesn't even qualify you to join the game. Unless you are recognized by the destiny, it is impossible for you to break through. Listen to my advice and wait a little longer. Otherwise, if you inherit the throne, the one from the Longyuan Dynasty will not let you go."

Zagreus waved his hand and a chair suddenly appeared in front of the bed. He found a comfortable angle to sit down, propped his chin with his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. I dare to do it, which means I am not afraid of them. Don't worry, I won't occupy the throne for long. I will pass it to Feng Qi. With me here, I will ensure that your Nanzhao Kingdom will have the last laugh in this great struggle. As for Feng Qi, he will always be Feng Ji's younger brother and the greatest emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom!"

When the old emperor heard Zagros speak so confidently, he couldn't help but look at him again. Zagros directly revealed a trace of the aura of destiny. Although this destiny is no longer in his hands, he can still simulate the aura to fool the old emperor.

As expected, the old emperor felt the breath of destiny and almost jumped up. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes when he looked at Zagreus, and then he smiled, "Since you have such an opportunity, I am willing to use the Nanzhao Kingdom to bet with you. If you succeed, you will be a flying dragon in the sky. If you fail, it can't be too bad. The throne can be given to you, but if you can really break through to that step, you must abdicate the throne to Feng Qi when it is useless, and support him to sit firmly on the throne!"

As the old emperor spoke, the shadow of a golden dragon emerged behind him. This was the destiny of the Nanzhao Kingdom. The old emperor asked Zagros to swear by the destiny of the country, so that even if he died, the destiny of the country would suppress him and ensure that Zagros would not break his promise.

Zagros stretched out his hand, and the golden dragon swam into his hand on its own initiative. However, it did not hover behind the old emperor as before, but turned into a ring with a golden dragon coiled around it and was worn on Zagros' hand.

After seeing this, the old emperor realized that Zagreus agreed to his request, and he finally felt relieved. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the noisy voices outside. The old emperor frowned, his breath suddenly weakened, and he shouted to the outside: "Afu, why is there so much noise?"

Although the old emperor was weak, he was still a cultivator. His voice was transmitted directly to the outside of the palace through the empty palace. At this time, Ah Fu, who was guarding the door, pushed open the door and walked in with his head down. But he was followed by a majestic man in golden armor. Ah Fu looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it is General Wei Yuan who came to see you. He said, the crown prince..."

Ah Fu didn't finish his words. He just looked up at Zagros who was sitting beside the bed and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The old emperor said unhappily: "Just what!"

"General Wei Yuan is here to protect the emperor, right?"

Zagreus said it lightly, looking at Wei Yuan who had an indignant look on his face, and released a kind of pressure. Wei Yuan, who had been so arrogant, suddenly groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then was forced to kneel down under the pressure, and even the floorboards made a squeaking sound.

Ah Fu immediately lowered his head when he saw it, silently stepped aside, and secretly laughed in his heart, "As expected of the Ghost Emperor who was recorded in the books of later generations as suppressing all gods. He should not have become a god yet, yet he dares to be so overbearing in front of the emperor. I don't know what Wei Yuan is talking about, and I haven't heard of any records of him. He was probably eliminated by the Ghost Emperor in the subsequent riots.

I just don't know if this person has obtained the Underworld Seal. I have been looking for it in this palace for so many years. I have checked the jade seal several times and searched almost every corner, but I still can't find any words about the Underworld Seal. It seems that this Underworld Seal is probably not the palace treasure recorded in history books. Could it be that this is a treasure that the Ghost Emperor will obtain when he ascends to god in the future?"

After looking at Ah Fu, Zagreus stood up and walked to Wei Yuan, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said, "General Wei Yuan, do you think I will murder my father?"

"I dare not!" Wei Yuan felt severe pain in all his bones as if they were about to be shattered. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out four words.

"Well, you'd better!" Zagreus wiped his hands with a handkerchief and threw it in front of Wei Yuan, then left the palace with a contemptuous smile.

After Zagreus left, Wei Yuan felt his whole body lighten, and he dared to stand up. "Your Majesty, this..." Wei Yuan wanted to say something but was stopped by the old emperor. The next day, the old emperor dragged his sick body to the imperial study and summoned the ministers of the court. They discussed many things behind closed doors.
