"Purge the corrupt officials around the ruler!"
"???"
No, wait, what did you just say?
"Purging the corrupt officials around the ruler requires two hard conditions and several softer ones. First, you need sufficient strength—at the very least, enough to go toe-to-toe with your superior." Chen Luo snapped his fingers.
Everyone looked at the Raiden Shogun puppet Chen Luo had summoned, now enlarged to the size of an ordinary person.
"Whether in terms of raw strength or influence, our side is no weaker than the Raiden Shogun." Chen Luo pointed at the Raiden Shogun puppet, then at himself.
The hard condition of strength referred to the Raiden Shogun puppet, while influence referred to Chen Luo's Paradise.
"Second, purging the corrupt officials around the ruler requires a certain foundation. Ideally, you should have a legitimate status that allows you to replace them."
"As for foundation, Yae Miko, the head shrine maiden of Narukami Shrine, needs no introduction. And Yae Miko is strong too."
"As for the legitimate status to replace them..." Chen Luo pointed at Raiden Makoto.
Was there anyone more suitable to raise the banner of rebellion against the current Raiden Shogun than Raiden Makoto, the true former Electro Archon?
"On top of that, Inazuma is currently closed off from the outside world! The people are suffering! The whole land has suffered under the Electro Archon for far too long!"
How could they not suffer? Kokomi had already launched a rebellion.
"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise. The year is Jiazi..."
"Smack!" Yae Miko slapped the back of Chen Luo's head.
"The Blue Heaven is dead, huh? The Yellow Heaven shall rise, huh? The year is Jiazi, huh? Come on, let's go to your room and discuss how we're going to raise an army and rebel."
