   Chapter Thirty-Six: The Fake Yellow Axe Holds a Prestige in the Prime Minister's Mansion; Internal Strife Reveals a Wolfish Heart. Under Shi Hu's blade, Crown Prince Shi Hong trembled as he ascended the throne of the Later Zhao emperor. In late July of the fourth year of Jianping (333 AD), the air in Ye City was thick with the carefully crafted "peace" of the new emperor's ascension, masking a deep-seated stench of bloodshed. The edict of general amnesty failed to dispel the gloom in people's hearts; instead, it seemed more like a public declaration of Shi Hu's overwhelming power. Standing at the center of power, Shi Hu, like a giant spider coiled in its web, coldly scrutinized his prey and potential threats. He knew that the end of the coronation ceremony was merely the beginning of a bloody purge; he wanted to completely seize power, leaving no gaps. Before the ink on Shi Hong's coronation edict was even dry, Shi Hu began his campaign to seize the highest titles. He was no longer satisfied with positions like "General of the Martial Guard" and "Commander-in-Chief of the Military Affairs Inside and Outside the Capital," which actually controlled military power. What he needed was a prestigious title befitting his power, one that would supersede imperial authority. A few days later, edicts issued in the name of Shi Hong (in reality, at the behest of Shi Hu's trusted officials in the Secretariat) were rapidly spread throughout the land: The first edict: bestowing upon Shi Hu the titles of Chancellor, King of Wei, and Grand Chanyu. The position of Chancellor would grant him supreme authority over all officials, making him a figure of immense power; the title of King of Wei would place him above all other kings, granting him thirteen prefectures, including Wei Commandery, as his fiefdom, allowing him to oversee all affairs of state, nearly on par with the emperor; the title of Grand Chanyu signified his absolute rule over the nomadic tribes.

    Reader note

    Yang Ling's soul transmigrated to the turbulent final dynasty of Dayong, taking the identity of the newly enthroned young emperor. The civil service controlled the court, the national treasury was practically empty, and regional princes were restless. Northern barbarians raided the borders year after year, Japanese pirates plundered the southeast relentlessly, and powerful enemies in the west were eyeing the throne with predatory intent. In court, the chief minister pressured him to use the imperial seal on a humiliating treaty. In the imperial study, the chief eunuch, Wang Zhong, cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, tonight's imperial meal... Will it be porridge or bran?" Yang Ling's composure crumbled. Just as he clutched the imperial seal, contemplating suicide, a voice exploded in his mind: "Extreme God and Demon System bound." "Host's world detected—low martial arts." "Host's physical strength—ant." "Recommendation: Immediately activate the first enhancement." By day, subservient; by night, unleashing devastating power. Yang Ling continued to play the role of a weak emperor, blindly obeying the civil officials, falling asleep while reviewing memorials, and being rendered speechless by ministers' rebukes during court sessions. Everyone felt his time was up and the dynasty was doomed. But every night, Yang Ling would sneak out of the palace through a secret passage, his body swelling to two and a half meters tall, his muscles bulging like cast iron, his face blue and his fangs bared, transforming him into the "Shadow Demon." The situation in the northern border was extremely urgent; the barbarian vanguard had breached the Great Wall pass. Under the cover of night, Yang Ling made a three-hundred-mile raid, single-handedly storming the enemy camp, tearing the barbarian vanguard general apart with his bare hands, and uprooting the enemy's banner, planting it atop the border city wall. The next day, the barbarian army, seeing their banner changed hands and the camp littered with mangled corpses, collapsed in morale and retreated without a fight. The news reached the capital: In the imperial court, the Minister of War trembled with excitement: "Your Majesty! Heaven blesses our dynasty! A peerless general has emerged, single-handedly repelling the enemy!" Yang Ling, sitting on the dragon throne, yawned: "Oh, a reward." He cursed inwardly: Damn, my hands hurt from tearing people apart last night, this dragon throne is a pain in the ass. During the day, he was thoroughly humiliated by the old Grand Secretary in court, and at night he transformed into a visitor to his study. He stuffed the secret letter of treason and the list of officials from the secret room into his robes right in front of him, and before leaving, flicked a finger on his forehead: "Grand Secretary, guess who I am?" Prince Xin led his troops into the capital, displaying his power, and in the arena, he crippled his retainer Chen Yuanba with a single finger. Prince Xin was so frightened that he refused to leave his palace. Yang Ling broke into the secret room of the imperial palace at night, found the treasonous letter, and left a three-inch fist mark on the wall. The next morning at court, Yang Ling greeted the emperor with a smile: "Uncle, it's windy in the capital, be careful." The new Grand Secretary sent a fake assassin to test him. Yang Ling, dressed in his nightgown and barefoot, ran along the palace path, crying and blowing snot bubbles, clinging to the leg of the Imperial Guard Commander and shouting for the emperor's protection. The assassin and thirty hidden experts froze in place—this wasn't what the new Grand Secretary had said! Upon learning this, the new Grand Secretary remained silent for a long time: how could a useless fool who was frightened to tears by an assassin be a monster? In an unprecedented crisis—the defense of the capital—Yang Ling was forced to reveal his true identity to everyone. The barbarians, allied with the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions and the Japanese pirates of the southeast, mobilized 300,000 troops, bypassing the border and heading straight for the capital. The officials in the court were helpless, and the Grand Secretary had already begun drafting a surrender document. The city was about to fall; the rebel army had already stormed the outer city, and chaos reigned in the palace, with eunuchs and palace maids fleeing in all directions. Yang Ling walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony step by step, standing on the white marble steps, facing the overwhelming enemy army. He glanced back at the trembling ministers following behind him and smiled: "My dear ministers, you always say I am incapable of great things." "Today, I will show you—" "What a true Son of Heaven looks like." His dragon robe ripped apart. Under the sunlight, a muscular giant thirty meters tall stood before the Hall of Supreme Harmony, radiating scorching heat, the white marble steps beneath his feet cracking inch by inch. Yang Ling leaped down from the city wall, the shockwave from his landing knocking over hundreds of cavalrymen. He grabbed the enemy's battering ram with his bare hands, swung it in a wide arc, sweeping away thousands of soldiers and horses with a single blow. The barbarian Khan watched from afar, his heart pounding with fear: "What kind of monster is this?!" The day after the battle, Yang Ling attended court as usual, wearing a new dragon robe, reverting to his former frail appearance as the emperor. But all the ministers knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. The Grand Secretary tremblingly presented his resignation, which Yang Ling took, pinched between two fingers, and the resignation turned to dust. "My dear minister, has I granted permission?" The hall fell silent. The various regional princes received a secret letter from the capital. The letter contained no words, only a steel military tally shaped like an iron ball, clearly imprinted with the lines of five fingers. It included the message: "Your Majesty, please act as you see fit." Within three days, all the princes surrendered their guards, bound themselves, and went to the capital to plead guilty. Just when Yang Ling thought the world was at peace and he could comfortably be a "muscle emperor," the system suddenly gave him a chilling notification: "Host's current combat strength rating: C (Peak Mortal Body)." "Warning: This world will experience its first 'Spiritual Qi Revival' in three years. At that time, powerful beings from higher planes will descend upon this world." "Among them, the weakest is rated A." Yang Ling looked down at his proud muscles and fell silent. It turned out that the Extreme Demon System hadn't given him a cheat code to be an emperor—it had made him a gatekeeper. His enemies were never barbarians or rebels, but those who were about to tear the heavens apart and treat this world as their hunting ground—True Immortals, Heavenly Demons, and Great Old Ones. He had to transform a feudal dynasty into a war machine capable of resisting invasions from higher planes within three years. He would use his muscles and fists to teach the civil and military officials what "physical technology" truly meant. And when the first visitor from another world arrived, looking down upon the capital with the eyes of an ant, a hundred-foot-tall demon god rose from the ground, his sky-covering hand gripping the "immortal," his deep voice reverberating through the heavens: "Welcome to my territory." "Now, kneel and call me father."

    The most powerful person in history was not Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of Han, nor Emperor Taizong of Tang or Emperor Taizu of Song, nor Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great, nor even Queen Victoria who founded the British Empire. It was Batu Khan, who led his eldest son on a westward expedition from the Mongolian steppes to the gates of Vienna, establishing the Golden Horde. The young Batu accompanied his father Jochi on his campaigns, achieving remarkable feats that fueled Jochi's growing claim to the Mongol Khanate. However, due to doubts about Jochi's lineage, he was consistently excluded from the succession, constantly subjected to rumors and gossip, and ultimately died in despair. Batu inherited Jochi's fiefdom and, with his exceptional talent, became the commander of his eldest son's westward expedition, leading 150,000 cavalry from the Mongolian steppes all the way to the gates of Vienna. He conquered the Rus' principalities, defeated Hungary, blitzed Poland, pushed past Moscow, reached the Danube, and even defeated a 400,000-strong European coalition army with only 40,000 cavalry, conquering more than twenty countries in seven years. After the death of Ögedei Khan, the princes who had campaigned westward returned east to vie for the throne. Batu Khan, leveraging the momentum of his western campaigns, established the vast Golden Horde, known to Europeans as Sain Khan and revered by Russians as "Tsar Batu." Later, tensions escalated between Batu and the Mongol Great Khan Güyük. In a critical moment, Güyük died suddenly, and Batu swiftly installed Möngke Khan as Khan, becoming the de facto ruler of the Mongol Empire. Coupled with his powerful position as Khan of the Golden Horde, his power was unprecedented, making him one of the most dazzling figures at the pinnacle of power in the 13th century.
