When Emperor Jin Met His End, Grudges, Love, and Hatred

"Dragon Gate Pass progress increased by 50%." Watching Wo Yila's army flee in panic, Chu Danqing knew that Da Bao, Guo Ming, and the others had already killed Wo Yila Khan.

As for the remaining 50% progress, there was no need to think about it—it had to lie with Emperor Jin.

The criterion Shifting Emperor Star used to judge a ruler was power. If the realm were unified, then only one person would need to die.

But this time, two nations stood divided, so the identity judgment naturally split into two parts.

What if he hollowed out someone's authority, set that person up as emperor, and then killed him?

Then the ruler would not be that Puppet Emperor, but Chu Danqing himself.

If it were really so easy to farm, then couldn't Chu Danqing beat villains until they proclaimed themselves emperor and grind Dragon Gate Pass's progress until it burst through the roof?

But there seemed to be a regional scope as well. Take the Zhang Dynasty in the previous Trial World—strictly speaking, Emperor Zhang could not be considered a true ruler.

Chu Danqing had also considered obtaining an ability akin to "temporarily changing a target's identity into that of a ruler."

But the problem was that an identity without power could not trigger Shifting Emperor Star. At most, it could trigger Da Wang's regicide effect.
