Chapter 1310 Chaos in the World (4k)

After the Battle of Chaoge,
The eight hundred princes in the world were in panic.

The giant dragon Cheng Tang was clearly about to die, marking the final end of an era, but he woke up again.

A centenarian man lying on his bed suddenly sat up from his illness and beat up an 18-year-old boy without any moral integrity.

He completely destroyed the momentum accumulated by King Wu Jifa.

For a time,

Whether it was the princes who participated in the rebellion or those who watched the fire from the other side, they were all panicked at this time.

They were all afraid that the King of Shang would send troops to attack them.

They are not panicking because they are scaring themselves.

·······
Xiqi Royal City.

Ji Fa was very angry when he saw that the civil and military officials in the hall were silent.

After the failure of the Battle of Chaoge, his prestige among the princes suffered a great blow and he has now lost his position as leader of the alliance.

It is not as easy as before to start a war again.

Simultaneously,

Because in Chaoge City, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun killed a large number of immortals from the Chan sect.

As a result, there were only four immortals in the entire Xiqi at that time: Jiang Ziya, Nezha, Li Jing, and Yang Jian.

but,

Ji Fa, who watched the entire Battle of Chaoge, knew very well that these four people were no match for the two evil spirits Feng and Yun.

Ji Fa was now worried that Chaoge’s army would counterattack soon, so he organized the civil and military officials of Xiqi to discuss how to deal with it.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Ji Fa looked at the people below and found that Jiang Ziya was pretending to be dead.

Jiang Ziya really didn't dare to act too aggressively now, as he had already obtained the opinion of Yuxu Palace through Yang Jian not long ago.

Yuanshi Tianzun hid in the Biyou Palace and dared not come out. Nanji Xianweng and others offended many people because they were too ostentatious in the past. Now that Yuanshi has fallen from the sainthood, their enemies show signs of ambition.

Moreover, there is no quasi-saint guarding the gate of Yuxu Palace now, but he has a large number of innate spiritual treasures on him.

Without the power of a saint to suppress the greed of all parties, they are still wandering around seeking death.

Therefore, the advice given to him by the Immortal of the South Pole was to keep a low profile and wait for Yuanshi Tianzun to recover his strength.

"Since you don't want to speak, let's just keep it to ourselves!" said King Wu Jifa.

Times may change, but people’s IQ does not change much, it’s just that new routines emerge.

Everyone who can stand in the lobby at this moment is a leader of this era, and there is not a single stupid person.

They all heard the anger in Jifa's words.

"Your Majesty! Disband the coalition forces. We must guard against the ruthless and incompetent King Zhou, who may send troops to invade our Xiqi border." An old minister was pushed out to take the blame.

Ji Fa glanced at the old minister with unfriendly eyes.

The words of this old minister may seem valuable, but in fact, they are just like listening to your words, without any nutrition.

Everyone in the room knew that Xiqi was at risk of being targeted by the Shang Dynasty.

Jifa did not want people to raise this question, but to come up with a solution.

Ji Fa exhaled heavily through his nose, suppressed his anger, waved his hand to let the old minister leave, and then directly called out his name: "General Li, do you have a good strategy to deal with it?"

Li Jing, who had pretended to be dead, was named. He dragged the pagoda with one hand and stood up to salute: "Your Majesty, I think we have completely exaggerated the threat of the Shang Dynasty."

Ji Fa's eyes lit up and he said, "General, please tell me in detail."

Li Jing said in a clear voice, word by word: "We were defeated in Chaoge because of the suppression of the tyrant King Zhou's [Humanity Force Field], which made it impossible for us to use our immortal magic and immortal power freely.

Otherwise, the two unlucky gods Fengyun are nothing but chickens and dogs, and Yang Jian, the nephew, can kill them."

Ji Fa was overjoyed when he heard this: "General, what you said makes sense."

Yang Jian, who was watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, had something in his mind that he wanted to say to Li Jing, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Li Jing continued, "As long as King Zhou does not lead the army in person, the Prime Minister can lead the army in person to keep the enemy out of the country."

The old official from Xiqi raised a difficult question: "What about the tyrant King Zhou who leads the army himself?"

Li Jing glanced at the old minister who asked the question calmly, and then said calmly: "That's even simpler. All we need is for the Prime Minister to lead the troops to hold back King Zhou, and Yang Jian, the nephew, will go directly to Chaoge to destroy the ancestral temple of the Shang Dynasty and stop the Shang Dynasty's sacrifices. King Zhou's humanity will inevitably be greatly damaged. By then, even if King Zhou has humanity, he will only be suppressed by the king."

"That's great! Hahahaha!!!"

············
The Chaoge army was divided into eight routes and walked out of Chaoge City from different directions.

This situation left the eight hundred princes in the world with a lot of questions in their heads.

Each army is small in number, but no one dares to underestimate them.

No one knows which army the two evil spirits Feng Yun are in.

Xiqi stationed its troops at the border, waiting for King Zhou to send troops.

result····
Wait and wait!
I waited month after month, but no one came.

A large amount of military supplies were consumed, and finally Yang Jian was sent out to investigate.

After defeating Xiqi, Emperor Xin unusually did not recover the lost territory.

Then everyone got a backache from this operation.

The army was not going on an expedition at all, but was ordered to transfer all the population and resources from the surrounding cities to Chaoge City.

After the successful transfer, the Three Alls Policy was implemented, turning all the cities around Chaoge into a wasteland!
This will greatly increase the marching costs for the princes who want to attack Chaoge in the future.

Chaoge was originally the capital of the Shang Dynasty and was the most populous city in the world.

Even during the war between Shang and Zhou, only the top leaders escaped.

The original population plus the population that moved in.

The city's population has exceeded three million.

···········
After hearing that Chaoge City had withdrawn its front line, all the princes breathed a sigh of relief.

Despise King Zhou.

The cowardly person even gave up his own territory. How could such a cowardly person become their opponent?

But before they could be happy for a few days, spies from Chaoge brought new border news.

Under the order of Emperor Xin, the city of Chaoge began large-scale military training.

Except for people over 60 years old, all women, children, and young and strong people in the city need to participate in military training.

Training in a rotation manner is used to achieve the goal of mobilizing everyone.

The cheers from the training echoed throughout the area.

When the eight hundred princes heard the border report sent back by the spies from Chaoge and heard about the large-scale military exercises, they sneered with disdain.

After a while, the spy sent back a promotional brochure from Chaoge City.

The manual was sealed on a bamboo slip inspired by the current general's training scene.

Just break the bamboo slips and the image will be played in the void, with lifelike pictures and lossless sound quality, which makes eight hundred princes of the world tremble with fear and exclaim how terrifying it is!
One after another, they submitted memorials of surrender and peace.

Can····

No matter how many times I vote, it always falls on deaf ears.

then,

All the princes were forced into a desperate situation.

Military involution began passively.

There is no return towards militarism.

·······················
Ten years have passed,

The large-scale military training in Chaoge City is still going on, and the shouts that shock the four fields have not stopped for ten years.

The Shang Dynasty's economy was still prosperous, its culture was still flourishing, its industry was still developed, and its army was still unrivaled.

but,

The eight hundred princes of the world have been dragged down, their civilization has stagnated, their agriculture has fallen behind, and their economy has collapsed.

In the territory, besides soldiers, there are weapons.

When they found out about this, it was too late. Even if you stop the military race, the princes next door may not stop. The princes next door are willing to reach a ceasefire agreement with you, but the princes next door may not be willing to do so...

then,

They can only do whatever it takes to continue the military ban.

After ten years, all the princes in the world became poor, and the conflicts within their territories had accumulated to the extreme.

They are all looking for a breakthrough.

At this time,
More than a thousand imperial edicts were issued in Chaoge City.

As the common ruler of the world, Emperor Xin divided the world into fiefdoms on a large scale.

The territorial boundaries of the princes of the world were redefined.

This led to many disputed territories between neighboring princes, and gave everyone the right to conquer.

Forgive all the princes' previous crimes of rebellion except that of Xiqi.

The king is serious. The imperial edict clearly states that there are not many old six in this era, and all the princes are no longer afraid of the threat from Chaoge.

Without external conflicts, they will naturally turn their spearheads towards their allies.

The civil war began.

··········
There are more than a thousand imperial edicts, so eight hundred princes naturally don't need so many.

All the extra ones were given to Xiqi.

Of the one hundred sons of King Wen Ji Chang, except Ji Fa who became King Wu, and the deceased Bo Yikao and Lei Zhenzi, all were made kings, thus dividing the huge Xiqi.

The core officials of the entire Xiqi were all given titles of nobility and king.

This caused discord among the brothers of Xiqi and suspicion between the ruler and his ministers.

Jifa was so angry that he vomited two taels of tomato juice.

···········
Everyone knew that Emperor Xin wanted the princes of the world to kill each other.

Even though you know it is a bottomless pit, you still have to jump in.

because,
-
People’s hearts are unpredictable!

Ten years of military training,
The eight hundred princes in the world did not attack each other because there was an external enemy, Chaoge.

Chaoge is too powerful and its deterrent power is too strong, so they dare not have any disloyal thoughts and must stick together for warmth.

but!

The appearance of more than a thousand imperial edicts from Chaoge City completely broke the alliance between the two sides.

Heart is under the kyte!
It is difficult to have trust in interactions between people, let alone between countries?

You can suppress your own greed, but can you ensure that others can also suppress their greed?

and!

The princes of the world have already exploited their territories and subjects to the limit.

In order to train their troops, they drained the country's economy, agriculture, and population...

Internal conflicts have accumulated to a peak, and only a spark is needed to cause them to explode.

them--
Need war,

Longing for war,

There must be war.

Transform internal conflicts into external conflicts through war.

then.
-
Smoke of war is rising all over the world!

············
Emperor Xin ordered all forces belonging to the Shang Dynasty to move to the city of Chaoge.

This caused the population of Chaoge City to explode, and the original buildings were obviously unable to meet the living requirements.

then,

Wang Ming started a large-scale infrastructure project.

It is not difficult to build.

The era of the Human King has not yet come to an end, and the immortals do not feel it is humiliating to serve under Emperor Xin.

Therefore, there are many immortals under Emperor Xin's command.

Shen Gongbao, a disciple from the Chan and Jie sects, led a large number of independent practitioners to use the five elements magic to build houses, roads, and water conservancy projects.

Who is going to build a dam? The three-bedroom and one-living room of the Wood Release and the dog head carved on the wall of the Earth Array are nothing.

In less than a month, a large number of skyscrapers appeared in the city of Chaoge.

The tallest building in Chaoge City is no longer Lutai, but the newly rebuilt Wentiantai.

Wentiantai is a kilometer-high building built with the cooperation of hundreds of immortals.

It is not just a tall building, it is the foundation of the Shang Dynasty.

There is a hundred-meter-high statue on the Wentian Terrace. It is a faceless statue of an emperor.

The ancestral temple of the Shang Dynasty, the imperial court, various departments, palaces and halls are all here.

Wang Ming launched a military involution, forcing the princes of the world to engage in military competition with the Shang Dynasty.

All the princes only saw the terrifying army of Chaoge, and did not notice any other changes.

In addition to military competitions, Chaoge also implemented other policies.

There is a floor in Wentian Terrace called Jixia Academy.

It popularized writing to all the people and completely broke the royal families' monopoly on knowledge.

Although the name is copied from a tall name, it is actually just a literacy and training class.

Because a large number of powerful and wealthy people fled Chaoge, the entire Shang Dynasty needed a large number of administrative personnel.

If it weren't for the Jixia Academy that continuously supplied management talents, the three million people gathered in Chaoge City would have surely become a mess.

･･･････
Three figures stood at the fence of Wentian Terrace, gazing into the distance at the wonders of heaven and earth.

Nie Feng had his long black hair casually draped, and he was wearing a white robe, exuding an air of elegance and ease.

He, who had a carefree and unrestrained temperament, now showed worry on his face and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master! Isn't this too cruel?

So many people were drawn into the quagmire of war.”

In the middle of Nie Feng was a middle-aged man wearing a silver imperial crown, with messy lion-like hair and a domineering aura like a god or a demon. Di Xin said calmly: "This is not cruelty, but my kindness!"

On the other side of Emperor Xin, a man with short white hair, a stern face, and a firm gaze, who had been silent all this time, showed an awkward look of surprise when he heard these words.

Nie Feng turned around and asked in confusion: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Ming, who had been controlling Emperor Xin's physical body, used Emperor Xin's identity to dominate the Shang Dynasty and made drastic changes to the Shang Dynasty.

Wang Ming laughed and said, “Since ancient times, the rise and fall of the country has always been the same: when it prospers, the people suffer; when it perishes, the people suffer.

This era is no exception.

But there is a difference.”

Bu Jingyun turned his head and looked over with a questioning look.

Wang Ming laughed and said, “In this era, there is the List of Gods!”

Nie Feng was still confused: "Disciple knows there is the Investiture of the Gods, but what does the Investiture of the Gods have to do with us dragging the entire world into the quagmire of war?"

Wang Ming explained impatiently: "In addition to ennobling 365 gods, Jiang Ziya will also ennoble the soldiers who died on the battlefield during the entire Shang-Zhou war as heavenly soldiers."

Bu Jingyun asked: "Master, what you mean is that for those who are dragged into the war by us, death is not a hardship but an opportunity for them?"

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Of course."

Nie Feng still frowned and asked: "Can the Heavenly Court support so many Heavenly Soldiers?"

Wang Mingdao: "The Conferred God Calamity and the Shang-Zhou War were not initiated by us, but were planned by the Heavenly Court and the Three Pure Ones. Cause and effect and karma are also their business.

I, Emperor Xin, am just a pawn in the game."

Bu Jingyun's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: "Master is really shameless and has not changed!"

Wang Mingdao: "The situation has been set, now let's see how the world will evolve!"
