Today's Mingdu is obviously more solemn and solemn. Early in the morning, the originally bustling city has become very quiet. Except for some daily necessities, almost most shops have chosen to close on this day.
.
Because today is the day of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
His Majesty Xu Tianran, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, will hold a ceremony to worship the heaven and earth on the outskirts of Mingdu. He will pay homage to the heaven and earth, and also pay homage to the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Empire.
In the short period of time after Xu Tianran succeeded to the throne, the Sun and Moon Empire greatly expanded its territory. This sacrifice to heaven was more to highlight Xu Tianran's own achievements. At the same time, it was also his announcement to the world that he would serve for the future.
Time to prepare for the unification of the continent.
The preparations for this heaven-sacrifice ceremony began several months ago, and a lot of manpower, financial and material resources were spent.
Early this morning, a large number of people had already poured out of Mingdu and came to the suburbs, preparing to welcome this grand ceremony of the country.
On all the main roads in Mingdu, soldiers with bright armor stood on both sides, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. A strong chilling atmosphere almost permeated the entire city.
Under the pressure of the army, the people marched to the southern suburbs in an orderly manner.
The scale of this heaven-sacrifice ceremony was extremely grand. For this purpose, the Sun and Moon Empire mobilized an army of more than 100,000 people.
On the outskirts of the southern suburbs, a huge altar was built half a month ago. The altar itself is a strange-shaped platform, with a circle on the left and a crescent-shaped one on the right. It symbolizes the sun and the moon, which is the empire of the sun and the moon.
symbol of.
The circular altar covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters and is ten feet high. It is completely repaired with granite. Above the platform, there are six consecutive platforms. Each platform has the same shape and shrinks one by one. At the end of the
The top platform is only one thousand square meters in size.
The entire seven-story platform, from bottom to top, is red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, and purple, symbolizing the colors of the rainbow and encompassing everything in heaven and earth.
There are eight stone steps around the altar that can lead to the top one by one.
This altar is not a temporary construction that will be used only once, but will be passed down and used to worship heaven in the future.
The area around the altar has long been surrounded by large armies. In the four directions of southeast, north and west, they have already completed the construction of a soul guidance device position. Although it is not a soul guidance device position of the size of the soul guidance corps, these four soul guidance devices
However, the weapon positions were all built by the most powerful royal soul engineer group in the Sun and Moon Empire, and all used the most advanced soul guidance tools in the Sun and Moon Empire today.
Of the total 100,000 troops mobilized this time, 40,000 troops surrounded the altar. The other troops had their own responsibilities, and most of them were responsible for commanding public order.
The sky was completely bright at this time, and the sunlight shone on the majestic Sun and Moon Festival rooftop. It exuded a colorful halo. It was also extremely spectacular when viewed from a distance.
The total seven-story sacrificial rooftop is a hundred feet high. It is much taller than the tallest building in Mingdu. In the future, it will definitely become one of the landmark buildings of the Sun and Moon Empire.
On the outside of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice rooftop, people under the command of the army have already surrounded the place. There are more than 20 million Sun and Moon Empire people living in Mingdu, which is the real core of the Sun and Moon Empire. At this time, there are not thousands of people who come to watch the ceremony.
There are tens of thousands of people, maybe millions, densely packed together as far as the eye can see.
The ceremony for worshiping the heaven is held when the sun is three poles high. At that time, Yang Qi is rising, which means prosperity.
In the distance, from the direction of Mingdu, a team composed entirely of bright yellow slowly came towards the rooftop of the Sun and Moon Festival.
Wherever this team passed, the soldiers cleared the way. At the front was a huge dragon chariot carried by one thousand and twenty-four people. The bright yellow silk and satin on the dragon chariot had the pattern of ten thousand dragons galloping. But in all
The important core positions are all pictures of the sun and the moon competing for glory.
Yes, this is the dragon chariot of Xu Tianran, the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire. At this time, on the dragon chariot, Xu Tianran is sitting upright, wearing a purple gold crown with nine dragons and beads, and a gorgeous dragon-shaped sun and moon emperor's brocade robe.
Sitting next to him, Orange was also wearing an extremely luxurious bright yellow palace dress, with a smile on his face. His headdress was all filled with the most expensive jewelry.
The gauze curtains around the dragon chariot were raised so that people could see the most powerful couple in the world from a distance.
"Long live, long live, long live!" Under the unified command, the soldiers raised their weapons high and shouted long live the mountains.
Suddenly, millions of people fell to the ground in the direction of the dragon chariot like wheat.
Sitting high above the dragon chariot, Xu Tianran's eyes were full of majesty, but behind this majesty, there was even more endless emotion and pride.
Once upon a time, when he lost his legs, it seemed as if the whole world had turned dark. But at this moment, he had become the master of the Sun and Moon Empire, and even the future master of the entire continent.
Looking at the millions of people worshiping him, Xu Tianran seemed to see countless fortunes converging on him. That feeling was really wonderful.
Sacrifice to heaven is just a formality, but it is an important ceremony that unites the hearts of the people and makes the empire more stable. Carrying out the ceremony of worshiping heaven is the starting point for Xu Tianran to further realize his ideal after he succeeds to the throne.
In the past two years, the three countries that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent have been working hard to develop soul guides and recruit troops. Isn't it the same for the Sun and Moon Empire?
Xu Tianran mastered the rhythm very well. From the very beginning, after he inherited the throne, his throne was actually very unstable. However, he defied all opinions and with the support of the Holy Spirit Sect, he succeeded in almost the shortest time.
A war of aggression was launched.
Why? The purpose is to divert domestic conflicts. No matter whether those ministers support him or not, when the war starts, as long as a smart person knows what to do. Defeating the enemy is the most important thing.
Orange did not disappoint. With his extraordinary wisdom and amazing military talent, he fully utilized the advantages of the Sun and Moon Empire's army, and achieved impressive results among Xingluo and Tianhun.
Although this war stopped before the Tianhun Empire was completely conquered, it is undeniable that after this battle, Xu Tianran had become a king who opened up territories. At this time, Xu Tianran suddenly chose
In order to slow down the offensive, he listened to Juzi's suggestions and stabilized the defense line. At the same time, he used soul guidance technology to gradually penetrate the areas occupied by the Tianhun Empire. At the same time, he began to turn his targets domestically.
With the dazzling aura of the war, the domestic opposition was greatly reduced. Orange was pregnant at the right time, and the prince was born and married. In just two years, Xu Tianran had made all domestic opposition disappear. He had completely become
Become the real master of this land.
However, this is far from satisfying his ambition. He wants to be the only emperor in the world. His goal is to unify the entire Douluo Continent and avenge the lost holy war more than 4,000 years ago.
Therefore, he wants to sacrifice to heaven, and he wants to tell the world through this heaven-sacrifice ceremony that Douluo Continent belongs to him, Xu Tianran, and to the Sun and Moon Empire. After offering sacrifice to heaven, it is a holy war.
Orange sat quietly next to Xu Tianran. She could feel the heat on his body. It was not a change in temperature, but an expansion of ambition. Under the spotlight, he was like a sun, blooming brightly and brightly.
Overbearing brilliance.
Orange always had a faint smile on her face. After giving birth, she became even more graceful and mature, her figure plumper, and her originally crystal clear skin even became more hydrated.
.
Xu Tianran patted Orange's hand and pulled her back from her thoughts.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are the emperor for eternity." Orange said quickly with a smile.
Xu Tianran also had a smile on his face, "No matter what I have, I will share it with you. Are you still unhappy? I won't let you bring the prince here because I'm afraid that the prince is too young and will be in such a big scene.
Scared."
Orange shook her head gently and said: "How can I be unhappy? Your Majesty's decision is correct. I have already figured it out."
Xu Tianran said: "As long as you understand. After the ceremony is over, I will accompany you back and see Yun Han together."
"Yeah." Orange nodded gently.
Of course she knew why Xu Tianran refused to bring her son to the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, because that was her son, but not his real son. What's more, what if it was his real son?
His character is that he wants to be the emperor for eternity. His dream is to live forever and control everything forever. To him, the prince is just a tool. Of course, so is he.
Under the attention of everyone, the dragon chariot finally arrived in front of the sun and moon ceremony rooftop.
Xu Tianran stood up, held Orange's hand, and slowly walked off the dragon chariot. Then he walked towards the rooftop sacrifice platform.
At this time, the lower level of the Sacrifice to the Heaven Terrace was already full of people. The people who could stand on the six floors below the Sacrifice to the Heaven Terrace were all important figures in the Sun and Moon Empire. For them, it was an absolute honor to be able to stand here.
The cheers of the people sounded like a wave. This was a real wave! The sound wave composed of millions of people spread far away like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Xu Tianran always had a smile on his face. Not only Orange could feel the brilliance on his body, but also every senior executive of the Sun and Moon Empire standing on the altar. Their hearts were trembling. They felt the radiant light.
The emperors knelt down one after another and paid homage to him.
They even had a premonition that in the near future, the Sun and Moon Empire would rule the entire continent.
Xu Tianran's pace was not fast, but steady. When he reached the sixth floor of the Sun and Moon Festival Rooftop, he naturally let go of Orange's hand. Orange then stopped and watched him climb up alone.
The seventh floor of the Sun and Moon Festival rooftop.
Yes, he was the only one who climbed to the seventh floor.
On the seventh floor of the 1,000-square-meter Sun and Moon Sacrifice Terrace, there are many gorgeous patterns engraved on it. A huge six-pointed star glows with a faint golden brilliance under the sunlight. In the center of the six-pointed star, the sun and moon pattern is even more dazzling. The sun is golden
, the moon is silver, and the two colors of gold and silver complement each other.
