Chapter 72: What to Do If the Alchemist Emperor Is Assassinated? Waiting Online, Very Urgent.

"You guys must be crazy!"Xu Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, speechless, unsure of how to respond.

The Rose Salvation Society declared:"Although the Alchemist Monarch Emperor is benevolent and wise, ushering in an age of alchemy from which all of us witches have benefited, we still intend to kill him!"

The Half-Orc Kingdom stated:"Although the Alchemist Emperor has been extremely friendly and kind to us half-orcs, even enacting many policies of equality, we still intend to kill him!"

Just look at this! Are these even human words?!

Honestly, this Alchemist Emperor was, in Xu Zhi's opinion, the most sagacious and valiant monarch he had ever encountered. He ruled without tyranny, dedicated himself entirely to developing alchemical civilization, relentlessly "farming" and advancing the tech tree, serving his nation and people with wisdom. He even abstained from romantic relationships.After all, such talk was preposterous!He was genuinely devoted to a pure love, still seeking ways to extend his life in order to save seven frozen little witches, truly holding complex feelings of both familial and romantic love for them.

"Back then, even the terrifying tyrant Gilgamesh, who murdered his son and established slavery, no one dared to plot against him! Why is it that now, the entire world wants to eliminate the benevolent Alchemist Emperor?"Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.This was the root of human depravity, a kind of irony.—People always bowed down to the might of tyranny, yet dared to raise their blades against a benevolent and kind ruler.

"Li Shengjiang is still too kind. Some ambitious individuals couldn't help but harbor malicious thoughts. He's a casual 'farming' style player who doesn't understand the imperial strategies needed to stabilize royal power. He doesn't even know that various factions below him have already begun to rebel."Currently, he was still engrossed in farming, climbing the tech tree, and researching longevity potions to extend his life, completely unaware that someone outside was plotting an assassination.This highlights the importance of imperial intelligence agencies, like the "Eastern Depot" and "Embroidered Uniform Guard" with their "ears on the wall" and omnipresent surveillance. The emperor would immediately know if any faction was planning rebellion and swiftly eliminate them.But should he warn him?Xu Zhi considered it, then shook his head, appearing indifferent."How would I warn him? There's no way to warn him. Never mind, let's just let nature take its course. Although it's tragic that this epoch-making Monarch Emperor died by assassination, it ultimately cuts off his potential for causing trouble before his demise, which is a relief for me. So be it! After all, he's close to dying of old age anyway. It's probably for the best if he dies, quits the game, and ends his two-hundred-year life in this other world."

It was the 527th year of the Babylonian Kingdom.It marked the twenty-seventh year of the fifty-year-long night.Under the moonlit, gloomy and dim Babylonian Kingdom, within the refined, arched palace corridor, delicate pale yellow wall lamps lined both sides. The surrounding stone walls featured intricate openwork floral carvings, inlaid with golden wreaths.A group of beautiful maidens, dressed in witch robes, carried flower baskets and scattered petals along the path.In the center of the cloister, a court minister, holding a luxurious wooden staff, led a beautiful woman forward. The woman was Elmer.Elmer was the most powerful witch of this year's Three Great Witch Kingdom Exchange Competition. As the champion, she had come to audience with the legendary great Alchemist Monarch Emperor, Grantham.

That year, in the Battle of the Waterfall, Elmer fought fiercely to a devastating degree, but ultimately lost. Despite the combined efforts of countless individuals led by her mentor, she was still defeated by Charlotte, who seized the Book of Seals.Five years later, under the guidance of a reclusive academy witch, Elmer underwent intense ascetic training and pioneered the witchcraft "Ripple Walk." She finally broke through in this year's Kingdom Exchange Competition, claiming the championship. She had at last earned the opportunity to approach the Alchemist Emperor.Before she left, her mentor instructed her:"The vibration of the world is the origin of everything. Heaven and Earth vibrate, life vibrates. Vibrations form ripples, and ripples are the power of life!""When you use the 'Alchemical Lens' invented by the Alchemist Emperor to observe the microscopic world, you will discover that every single component of your body is vibrating! Ripples are the fundamental building blocks of this world—this is the truth of all things, and it is the gateway to truth for our lineage!"Elmer memorized all of this.She understood clearly that unless she pioneered and mastered a completely new form of witchcraft, she would be unable to contend with Charlotte.

"According to secret intelligence, the Half-Orc Kingdom has already prevented the Rose Salvation Society from breaking the seal of the Death Emperor. Instead, they have allied with them in the short term to assassinate the Alchemist Emperor together."Elmer's expression was icy. "I can't even convey this information into the Babylonian Royal Palace, because the palace already has many of their inside agents. The royal palace has fallen.""The Alchemist Emperor is too kind, too benevolent; he has no idea of the wickedness in human hearts. Therefore, I shall be the one to protect the Alchemist Emperor. Charlotte, this time, you will surely appear in the royal palace to assassinate the Alchemist Emperor, and I will thwart your conspiracy!"At this moment, Elmer, as the champion of the Witch Academy Exchange Competition, surrounded by beautiful witches, slowly walked into the royal hall.

Deep within the royal palace, a frantic melody began.The fervent notes surged like crashing waves, resonating through the royal hall."This is the divine music from the Age of Three Witches — the 'Symphony of Fate'! Which court musician could play such an exquisite performance?" Elmer couldn't help but whisper."It's not a court musician, nor is it a person. It's a music box created by His Majesty, an alchemical construct playing these truly beautiful notes," a leading court minister said softly, reverently. "His great Majesty truly ushered in an entire age of alchemy."An alchemical construct, a mere inanimate object, could play such exquisite notes?What a truly magnificent Monarch Emperor!Elmer marveled. She had grown up hearing stories of the Emperor; the Alchemist Emperor was praised by neighbors and residents alike. He had created numerous world-class wonders, as if he had descended from the heavens, not belonging to this world, bringing with him brilliant blossoms and fantastical ideas.Elmer silently followed the group of witches forward. Along the arched corridors on both sides, beautiful witches holding flower baskets occasionally scattered pink petals, creating a scene as beautiful as a fairy tale.They entered the royal hall.

The leading witch walked across the vibrant red, broad carpet, looking up at the majestic figure of the Monarch Emperor seated on the throne, and shouted excitedly, "Elmer, champion of this year's exchange competition, presents herself before the great Alchemist Emperor, King of Babylon! His Majesty Grantham!"The Alchemist Emperor, seated high above, was just about to speak.But bizarrely, his mouth stretched wider and wider.Silently, it transformed into a terrifying, blood-gorged maw. His entire being began to disintegrate severely from the mouth outwards, melting into thick, red-black plasma. His flesh dissolved, gradually turning into a pool surrounding a pristine white giant skeleton.In that instant, the entire royal hall fell silent. Everyone's minds went blank.The Emperor... he...The next second, a piercing scream shattered the calm of the entire world."The Emperor has been assassinated!!!""Quick, protect His Majesty!""Royal Palace Guard!!!"Screams erupted instantly, one after another.Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!In the center of Babylon, beneath a magnificent bronze clock tower, the pendulum swung, emitting a dull roar!"Enemy attack!""Maximum alert!!"Three dark points soared into the sky, bursting with light; they were three Level Six Witches flying towards the Babylonian Royal Hall.Inside the royal hall, screams, roars, and shouts echoed continuously, while a brilliant white light permeated the entire capital.

"Silence, everyone!"The three Level Six Witches stared at the horrific scene in the royal hall. The Emperor's body was terribly disfigured, struck by countless terrifying forbidden spells—a truly shocking sight."Damn it! Eye of Evernight, Noxious Night, Time Key—a full thirteen forbidden spells attacked simultaneously," one witch snarled, sniffing. "It's Emry, the King of Half-Orcs, the Rose Salvation Society, and two top-tier schools—the 'Wylie Sect' and the 'Crimson Serpent'—a total of seven Level Six Witches who simultaneously ambushed His Majesty!""Are those half-orc vermin, and these two domestic top schools, committing treason?!""His Majesty is dead! His body is right here, lifeless—""Impossible!""But the King's body is indeed—""His Majesty's true body is not Grantham, only we know this! And we must not tell anyone else!" The three Level Six Witches exchanged glances, their expressions grim. Perhaps, aside from them, there was no telling how many other Level Six Witches had betrayed them."First, capture the traitors who assassinated the King! They couldn't have gone far! They must have paid a heavy price to assassinate the King!"With solemn faces, the three approached the central glowing amethyst of the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" and gently tapped their staves."Magic Sense."A dazzling aura spread out, intense white electrical sparks flickered, then shot into the sky, forming a vast network.The entire dense white electric net instantly enveloped the night sky over Babylon, filled with sparks, sensing a hidden location within Babylon.

"As expected of a world-class wonder, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, it still found us."Inside the house, a bird-human hybrid woman, several women in rose robes, and two sectarian leaders were all heavily wounded. "Without the Monarch Emperor's personal control, this world-class alchemical wonder won't be too strong. Let's break out!"On the ground was a vast, intricate blood-red array. The six waved their staves, and a blood-red light ignited, quickly turning into an eerie black. Countless dense black mists surged skyward, continuously gathering above Babylon's sky, forming a colossal black cloud that obscured the heavens.The black cloud ultimately condensed into an immense black giant, with only a massively muscled upper body, as large as an entire city. Its lower body was a vague, swirling mist, like a genie from Aladdin's lamp. It swung its arm powerfully at the electric net in the sky."Dimension Break, Wylie Giant!"The giant hand, formed of black mist, shattered the electric net.

Meanwhile.Elmer's face was pale. She exited the royal palace with her three-person team who had been waiting at the entrance, watching the terrifying spectacle unfolding in the sky with agitation."What a dreadful battle.""The Alchemist Emperor was assassinated after all. Is it Charlotte? Has she grown to this extent, becoming one of the strongest beings in the world?""Our mission failed. The King is dead!" A girl cried loudly, sobbing. "Those bastards! The Alchemist Emperor was so great; he ushered in an entire era. Without him, we would still be in Medusa's era of evil witches. Yet they dared to plot the murder of a Monarch Emperor in his twilight years!""No, the Alchemist Emperor shouldn't be dead. I still believe that a great Emperor won't die so easily!" Elmer bowed her head miserably, but then suddenly looked into the depths of a distant alley, where a cute little creature, a slime, lay in a pool of clear, gel-like blood.She walked over and picked up the small slime with one hand:"Hmm, what's that?"

On the *Spore Evolution* game forum.The long-missing big shot "Primordial Thunderhand" suddenly reappeared on the forum. His new post, carrying terrifying information, instantly ignited the entire forum."Help!! Is there anyone powerful out there who can help me think of a solution?""My kingdom and witch sects have suddenly rebelled! Did I offend you by just quietly farming? I'm still completely bewildered! I was assassinated! Many super monsters ambushed me, shamelessly ambushing me when I'm old. After a big battle, I barely managed to escape with my true form, but I passed out halfway and ended up on the side of the road. I don't know what's happening now. I'm just an unconscious slime, boohoo!""This game is too realistic! Not only do you have to sleep, but you can also pass out! You can actually pass out, can you believe it?! I'm totally freaking out now. My game interface is black, I can't control anything, and I don't know when I'll wake up. I'm just lying on the side of the road in the Babylonian Kingdom. I won't get killed while I'm unconscious, will I? (sobbing, sobbing)""Everyone, brothers and sisters, I'm in a coma. I can only come here to ask for your help in brainstorming solutions!"

Li Shengjiang thought for a moment, then quickly went to the well-known social knowledge website, Zhihu, and posted a question, hoping some of the Zhihu experts could help him brainstorm solutions.The post was titled:"The Lord of Witches from Another World, the Alchemist Emperor who dominated an era, has suddenly been assassinated—what to do? Waiting online, very urgent!"
