The previous chapter had brothers who didn't understand. It was Fotu's fault, and he wrote it a bit too carelessly, without making two things clear. Fotu will pay attention to this in the future.

  Gradually, someone discovered Lu Feng, and they wanted to reprimand him. But at this moment, Lu Feng took out the will left by the deceased emperor from his bosom!

  "The sacred decree of the deceased emperor is here, let everyone hear and obey!"

  A sound rang out, shocking all, and the countless officials were stunned and didn't know what to do. Lu Feng, however, held up the imperial edict and stepped forward towards that peak position.

  Two princes knelt at the very front of everyone, they slightly raised their heads, their eyes gleaming. Finally, Lu Feng walked to the peak position. At this moment, he looked down on all, his eyes cold and stern.

  The curve appearing at the corner of the mouth is an arc degree that no one can see.

  Suddenly, he opened the imperial edict, but at this moment, a feather arrow flew out from somewhere and directly pierced Lu Feng's body. Countless blood splattered everywhere. Taking advantage of this opportunity, both princes immediately stood up, wanting to go and compete for the supreme edict that would determine the fate of the dynasty. However, in the last moment, Lu Feng suddenly stood still on the spot. His eyes had a light that had never been seen before, as if it could penetrate everything, and even rival the sun and moon!

  A loud shout subdued the two crown princes and all those who were about to make a move. And in the next moment, Lu Feng opened the imperial edict, using his greatest voice for this life, suddenly announcing!

  "The throne was passed down through generations..."

  "Da Huang Zi, Qing Long..."

  At the last moment, Lu Feng finally fell down, and the imperial edict in his hand was stained with blood. The once-prominent Second Prince had also gradually disappeared, and no words could be seen anymore. And the people around him didn't pay attention to him either. No matter who became the emperor, it was all within expectation, but when this moment really came, it still caused endless chaos.

  No one saw...the strange pair of eyes in Lu Feng's blood pool...

  "My child, my wife, I've finally avenged you..."

  "Actually, I never forgot the promise I made..."

  Gradually, the body began to chill, and finally, the flame of life was completely extinguished.

  Lu Feng's side, countless people were excitedly arguing about something. In the distance, on top of the new emperor's hearse, the large mourning characters were so striking, so solemn, and also so ironic...

  No one noticed Lu Feng again, nor did anyone know that this humble and insignificant person, in the eyes of everyone, twice changed the course of history, altering the fate of the world...

  …

  Standing in the same place, everything around him was still as it used to be. But in Lu Feng's eyes, it seemed as if he had experienced endless hardships. He stretched out his hand and looked at the arm that was full of vitality, feeling the powerful strength within. Finally, a smile crept onto his face.

  "It turned out that everything was an illusion..."

  "This is the test! In the end, at the moment of life's termination, I still stood firm in my thoughts and found the promise I made to myself. My willpower finally returned to its original position. In the end, I did not lose my way..."

  Lu Feng finally understood. He knew that everything he had been through was a test. Although he didn't know the final consequences of getting lost, Lu Feng believed that if he couldn't find the path he had set for himself in the last moment, then he would never find any path at all.

  Fortunately, he finally came over and returned to this step again!

  He raised his hand, took a glance at the time on the celestial net, and a hint of abnormality flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. In that illusion, he had already experienced a lifetime. But in reality, less than an hour had passed.

  All of this was like a dream, Zhuangzi's butterfly dream, or the butterfly's Zhuangzi dream. At this moment, Lu Feng had such an illusion.

  He raised his head, looking at the stairs after the tenth thousand, and Lu Feng took a deep breath. When he climbed to the first ten thousand steps before, he already felt that his limit had arrived. But now, when he woke up from this test, Lu Feng suddenly felt that the so-called pressure in front of him, the so-called stairs, were really nothing.

  Finally, I took another step forward. Compared to the road ahead before, it's much, much easier.

  Lu Feng regained his speed of climbing thousands of stairs from the previous day. And he maintained such a speed all along.

  In the blink of an eye, another eleven days had passed. This time, Lu Feng finally arrived at the second checkpoint. At this moment, he was much better than when he reached the 10,000th step, but he was also extremely exhausted.

  Looking at the stairs that still couldn't be seen to the top. Lu Feng smiled slightly and then walked into it again...

  …

  Feeling like a child again, this time Lu Feng didn't show any surprise. He seemed to have grasped something, so he was able to accept the change in front of him.

  "What is it this time..."

  …

  Lu Feng lived in a poor household. However, unlike those rural rascals, his father was a true scholar. From a young age, the demands on Lu Feng were exceptionally strict. And Lu Feng did not disappoint, at a very young age, he had already shown exceptional talent and was known far and wide as a child prodigy.

  Since childhood, under the influence of his father, Lu Feng has been determined to be a good official for the people, and apart from necessary studies, he also dabbled in those historical books that spanned ancient and modern times.

  Finally, Lu Feng, who had shown remarkable talent since he was young, began to gain widespread fame, and his legend spread throughout the state. That year, the emperor happened to be touring the southern regions and arrived in Lu Feng's state. Upon hearing of the child prodigy, the emperor was astonished and summoned Lu Feng for an audience.

  This year, Lu Feng was already ten years old. From a young age, he was wiser than ordinary people and had almost perfect memory. In addition, he had read extensively in poetry and books, and was well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge. As soon as they met, the emperor deeply liked this child who had ambitions higher than the sky.

  After returning to the capital, the emperor personally issued an edict in the second year of the imperial examination, allowing Lu Feng to participate in that year's imperial examination. Lu Feng did not disappoint everyone, and he walked all the way to the palace examination with high scores. Although he ultimately failed to become a champion, his reputation spread throughout the dynasty! That year, Lu Feng was eleven years old.

  Time slowly passed, year after year, and Lu Feng finally walked into the imperial examination again. He had taken the imperial examination every year, but Lu Feng, with his unparalleled ambition, never stopped until he became the top scholar. The emperor was delighted by his ambition and allowed this absurdity to happen.

  This year, Lu Feng finally came to the imperial examination for the last time. And this time, he finally achieved his wish and became a legendary name, becoming the number one scholar of that year! This year, Lu Feng was 15 years old.

  As the years passed, Lu Feng gradually grew up. As his reputation spread, everyone in the imperial court knew of his name as a child prodigy. The current emperor entrusted him with important tasks, allowing him to govern a region. Lu Feng never forgot his childhood ambitions and always took the ancient sages as role models, working diligently to govern the poor and barren land into a prosperous one. His name became renowned at the time. This year, Lu Feng was nineteen years old.

  Four years of great governance, outstanding achievements, the dragon's face was greatly pleased, and he overcame public opinion to summon Lu Feng to serve in the imperial court. Lu Feng did not disappoint the emperor's kindness, being diligent and self-disciplined, always strict with himself, handling his affairs in an orderly manner, and the voices of discussion inside and outside the imperial court disappeared. That year, Lu Feng was 24 years old.

  He rose to fame overnight, and his every step led him closer to the heavens. Lu Feng gained national recognition, and from then on, he soared to great heights, shattering countless age-related limitations, embarking on his journey to the imperial court. That year, Lu Feng was twenty-seven years old.

  The emperor was old and no longer in control, so he demoted Lu Feng to a regional official, governing a small state. That year, Lu Feng got married and became famous for his good governance. During his tenure, Lu Feng continued to serve the people and earned a reputation as a fair and just ruler. However, it was also during this time that he used his power for personal gain for the first time, helping his wife's relatives. Lu Feng was 33 years old that year.

  The old emperor was ill, and Lu Feng was summoned to re-enter the court as a high-ranking official of the current dynasty. For the second time, Lu Feng used his power to buy a luxurious mansion, during which he learned how to deceive those above him and hide from those below him. That year, Lu Feng was forty years old.

  The emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended to the throne, bringing order to the world. As a wise ruler of the new dynasty, the new emperor carefully followed the previous emperor's orders and handed over the great power of the court to Lu Feng. From then on, Lu Feng stepped into the position of prime minister for the first time, enjoying boundless prestige and great fame. This time, Lu Feng felt that he was getting older, and began to promote countless young people from his family, regardless of their talent, solely based on kinship. That year, Lu Feng was 49 years old.

  The new emperor was weak and frail, but he worked hard to govern, however, he did not have a strong body. He eventually fell ill and handed over power to Lu Feng. From then on, Lu Feng began to dominate the court, with his every word determining the fate of others. Over the next three years, Lu Feng manipulated the imperial examinations, eliminated political enemies, and controlled the military. At one point, he even had the reputation of being the "Half-Emperor" Lu. Both inside and outside the court, no one dared to act without considering Lu Feng's expression. That year, Lu Feng was 57 years old.

  Sheng Bong, the new emperor ascended to the throne for the third time. The new emperor was young, and Lu Feng completely controlled the royal court inside and out. For a while, he pointed at a deer and called it a horse, doing as he pleased. But in these years, the barbarian tribes invaded from outside, the people were miserable, and complaints filled the air. Unfortunately, Lu Feng never took action. The people's grievances reached the sky. This year, Lu Feng was sixty-seven years old.

  A severe drought hit the land, and starving people were everywhere. Lu Feng prioritized his own interests, ignoring the lives and deaths of the masses. That year, countless commoners petitioned for him to come to his senses. That year, Lu Feng was sixty-nine years old.

  Floods are rampant, people can't make a living, refugees fill the imperial court, bandits roam freely, uprisings erupt everywhere. In this year of no one trusting Lu Feng, his reputation is utterly ruined, and he is despised by all. This year, Lu Feng is seventy-two years old.

  The royal court was weak, and the barbarians were rampant, burning, killing, looting, and doing all sorts of evil. Lu Feng began to organize a counterattack, but with little effect. This year, Lu Feng was seventy-four years old.

  Righteousness is at stake, even if death is not regretted. The uprising subsided, countless righteous armies spontaneously organized, and the barbarians were repelled, but deaths and injuries were everywhere. Lu Feng was old, but because of his strong control ability, he still controlled the imperial court politics. This year, Lu Feng was seventy-five years old.
