Chapter 422: Twenty years have passed in a flash, and war breaks out in the wilderness

Taihao and Nuwa locked themselves in the eastern sky. Qingqiu Xuan practiced on the top of Qingqiu Mountain. Although Dongfang Qi’s magic power had not yet reached perfection, he was deified because of the battle at Tianzhu Mountain. He had a majestic aura amidst the incense. Although his personal strength was still not good, he was also considered a great god. As for Zheng Faming, no one knew when he got together with Mingyun.

After the war, everyone’s life seemed to have returned to normal.

However, Lu Chen still saw their sadness.

It was not until a few days later that some people came out of the pass, some people went down the mountain, and all gathered in Shaohao Wilderness.

When the scene of Shaohao Wilderness appeared in front of him, Lu Chen couldn’t help but fall into silence.

The white cloth of Shaohao Wilderness fluttered in the strong wind, and a hundred thousand green phoenix feathers turned into soul-calling banners, each feather reflecting the tears of the living.

White flags are flying everywhere, and everyone’s handkerchief is wet with tears.

Lu Chen was suspended above the long river of time. His fingertips touched the water, causing ripples, reflecting the illusion of himself in black crown and being worshipped by the people.

“How does it feel to watch the ceremony of one’s own demise?” The Sovereign Heavenly Emperor chuckled as he leaned against the starry sky, his Xuantian crown flowing with eternal loneliness.

“How is he different from a living dead like you?” Lu Chen swept away the illusion in the water with his wide sleeves. In the broken spots of light, the sacrificial text of Elder Tian Lucan was turning into a golden inscription engraved into the bronze tripod.

“Haha, that’s right.”

The only Emperor smiled and said nothing more.

Lu Chen continued to watch the changes on the screen. It was the Great Elder Tian Lucan who was recounting Lu Chen’s achievements in a sad tone.

Although Lu Chen was in office for only more than two years, the reforms he carried out during his tenure were real. People who experienced the reforms naturally know this.

Lu Chen just listened quietly.

Soon, Tian Lucan stepped down from the stage and Qingniao Luan came on stage, her eyes red.

When Lu Chen saw this, he fell silent.

Because there is still a breath of life in the body of the blue bird Luan!

However, that mysterious blood connection reached Lu Chen directly.

This is Lu Chen’s child!
“I thought Shaohao’s lineage would end with me, but I didn’t expect…”

Lu Chen sighed softly in his heart, this is also good.

The child of Qingniao Luan will definitely be Shaohao in the future…

If nothing unexpected happens…

That’s what he said, but something unexpected happened soon after.

Youxiong Xuanyuan has become the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, but Youxiong Xuanyuan is not like Taihao Fuxi and Shennong Lieshan, who chose to give up the position of the common leader of the human race!
Youxiong Changyi went to the Western Wilderness, and just when many forces in Jiuyu wanted Youxiong Xuanxiao to inherit the position of the leader of the human race, Youxiong Xuanxiao was conferred the title of Lord of the Eastern Wilderness by Youxiong Xuanyuan!

Among the Nine Corners, Xiong Xuanyuan frequently sent orders to the lower world.

For a time, Youxiong Xuanyuan actually combined the two positions of the common leader of the human race and the Supreme Heavenly Emperor!

Everyone was in an uproar!

But most of them did not dare to say anything, and only said privately that Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan was too greedy for power!

There were also a very small number of people who were not afraid of power and wrote letters to the emperor, but they were eventually divided into various places by Youxiong Xuanyuan.

During the reign of Youxiong Xuanyuan, the country became a one-man show!

Even if Taihao Fuxi came to persuade him personally, He had no intention of making Youxiong Xuanyuan change his governing policy.

In a fit of anger, Taihao Fuxi left the heaven, returned to the eastern sky, and never appeared again.

Youxiong Xuanxiao, on the other hand, led his trusted subordinates and left Xuanyuan Hill.

After leaving Xuanyuan Hill, Youxiong Xuanxiao looked back at Xuanyuan Hill with a complicated expression, thinking of one thing in his mind: “If Shaohao Qing was still alive… would father still make this choice?”

Given Shao Haoqing’s personality, he would definitely cause trouble if his father did this.

And with Shao Haoqing’s strength and prestige, he is enough to make his father wary!

But now Shaohao Qing has died in battle on Tianzhu Mountain, and there are very few people in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Shaohao Qing.

Moreover, no one will choose to come out and persuade.

Youxiong Xuanxiao turned around and continued to head towards the Eastern Wilderness.

In the second year after Youxiong Xuanyuan became the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, his second son Youxiong Xuanxiao, who originally had the title of Qingyang, was given the additional title of Jintian. He came to the banks of the Juye River in the Eastern Wilderness and established the Jintian tribe.

The name Jintian and the meaning of Xuanyuan Huangdi are already very clear.

Although he did not have the name Shaohao, Shaohao had the Taoist fruit of the White Emperor of the West, so there was no problem at all for him to call himself the White Emperor.

The White Emperor of the West belongs to the element of gold.

That Shaohao is the Gengjin Heaven in the West!

Youxiong Xuanxiao did not have the name Shaohao, and Youxiong Xuanyuan did not confer the title of Shaohao on him, but gave him the title of Jintianshi. The intention is self-evident, and his heart is worthy of death!

The people of the Tianlu tribe were in an uproar, but in the end, they were suppressed by the Blue Bird Luan.

Whether it was Zheng Faming or Mingyun, they all supported Qingniao Luan’s decision.

Now that Shaohao Wilderness lacks Lu Chen, the stabilizing force, it is indeed difficult for it to come into conflict with the Supreme Emperor Youxiong Xuanyuan.

However, the Tianlu tribe endured it, but some people couldn’t!

The first country to get excited was the Jiuli Kingdom.

The dragon flags of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi were planted all over the world. On the day when the Jintian tribe built a city on the bank of Juye River, the Jiuli witch drum shattered the mist of the three mountains, and Xingtian swung his axe to split the terminator!
Lieshan Xingtian first announced to the world that he did not recognize the Jintian clan, nor did he welcome anyone from the Youxiong clan to establish a tribe in the Eastern Wilderness!
In the following years, the Jiuli Kingdom launched small-scale wars with the newly born Jintian clan to obstruct the establishment of the Jintian tribe.

Even the demons belonging to Qingqiu are attacking the Jintian tribe.

Youxiong Xuanxiao didn’t say anything, but kept talking about helping each other.

Looking at Youxiong Xuanxiao on the screen, Lu Chen could see his sincerity.

After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, Youxiong Xuanxiao has indeed changed a lot, and he really wants to get along with the surrounding forces in a friendly manner.

However, this is what I am thinking from his perspective.

To the people of Eastern Wilderness, Youxiong Xuanxiao and his Jintian tribe were outright invaders, and were the vanguards of the Youxiong clan in their attempt to conquer Eastern Wilderness!

And Youxiong Xuanyuan’s idea was indeed to drive a nail into Youxiong Xuanxiao’s path in the Eastern Wilderness.

So even though Youxiong Xuanxiao did not ask for help, Xuanyuan Hill still sent a large army to help Jin Tianshi fight against the Jiuli Kingdom.

They even deployed troops to form battle array between Donghuang and Jiuyu, with their spears pointed directly at Shaohao’s wilderness!

Shaohao mobilized an army of five million to confront them.

All the clans and tribes in the four regions of Donghuang rose up to help. Shaohao’s body was still warm, how could they bear to watch someone bully the orphans and widows left behind by Shaohao! ?

However, the Youxiong clan had no intention of attacking Shaohao’s Wilderness. It seemed that they sent troops to form a battle array just to involve the Tianlu tribe.

And this is indeed the case. There was no fighting in Shaohao’s wilderness, but the reinforcements from Jintian clan and Jiuli Kingdom started fighting first.

It seems like just yesterday that more than a decade ago, the human race united as one to resist the nine leaders of the Samsara Organization.

But the people who fought side by side with him back then have become enemies to the death today.

Millions of troops rushed together, blood flowed like a river, and countless human warriors did not die in the foreign invasion, but died at the hands of their own compatriots!
“The nature of the human race’s internal fighting hasn’t changed at all!”

The One and Only Emperor looked at the scene and smiled.

This kind of scene was his favorite.

Lu Chen ignored him.

Internal strife among human beings is a tradition, but it is also for the sake of national integration.

From the perspective of future generations, this is actually a good thing.

After the chaos among all parties, there will inevitably be a process of unification.

During this period, Youxiong clan was the enemy of Lieshan clan. There had been hundreds of years of war between the two clans, spanning three generations of leaders.

Therefore, we must not be merciful to our enemies, this goes without saying!
The army from the Youxiong clan looked down on the Jiuli Kingdom. They thought that Xingtian of the Jiuli Kingdom was not a very powerful figure. They ignored Youxiong Xuanxiao’s persuasion and launched an attack on the Jiuli Kingdom.

Soon, the army marched straight in and was invincible. The entire Jiuli Kingdom was like a rotten dead tree and its defense line was easily broken.

As a result, the general leading the army became even more fearless, and even broke off contact with the Jintian army that was responsible for logistical support, and headed straight for the capital of the Jiuli Kingdom!

But when they arrived at the capital of Jiuli Kingdom, they found that it was empty!
There is nothing in the empty tribe!
At this time, the leading army realized that this was a trap!
It was already very difficult to retreat, as Xingtian, who had been lying in ambush in the surrounding mountains, directly ordered the launch of the witchcraft formation, and millions of troops were annihilated here in an instant!

“Youxiong Xuanyuan used the body of Lord You to refine the Great Dao Golden Pill, so today the Lord of this country will use the millions of Youxiong army to refine my Wu Dao Pill!”

Lieshan Xingtian roared to the sky, and used the blood and energy of millions of troops as medicine to refine tens of thousands of witchcraft pills.

There are tens of thousands of pills, and each one can at least create a warrior at the Mountain Moving Realm out of thin air.

Naturally, these precious pills would not be used by ordinary people without a foundation. Xing Tian gave them all to the most loyal, most likely to break through, and most potential generals and wizards of the Jiuli Kingdom.

Soon, thousands of great wizards at the Zhenhai Realm and at least three great wizards at the Fudi Realm were born.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another three years had passed. Now, the Tianlu tribe had declined again. Even though it had a lot of loyal people supporting it, the rise of the Jiuli Kingdom was too fast.

The Youxiong clan’s reinforcements from the Nine Corners and Eight Wastelands arrived, but they did not gain any advantage over the Dongli. Even after Lieshan Xingtian invaded the Bishi Divine Kingdom and drove away Shebisi, the Dongyi had already completely surrendered to the Jiuli Kingdom.

Today, Lieshan Xingtian already has the might and power that Lieshan You had in the past.

At this moment, the Tianlu tribe where Donghuang is located has become the object of contention between the Youxiong clan and the Lieshan clan.

The Blue Bird Luan, who was in charge of the Tianlu Department, chose not to help either side. At this time, next to the Blue Bird Luan, there stood a young man who looked vaguely like Lu Chen.

But the boy’s expression was very arrogant.

He does have the reason to be arrogant. Although he looks young, only about fourteen or fifteen years old, his strength has reached the level of moving mountains!
He is truly the most talented person in the world!

There are very few people in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

Or even say, no!
On both sides stood the old ministers of the Tianlu Department, including Zheng Faming, Ming Yun, Ming Xiang, Ming Yan, Dan Niao Bu, Chi Shan Tong… and other ministers.

They looked at the young man, as if they saw the young man who walked out of Xuanyuan Hill, headed eastward, and finally stood at the top of heaven and earth in less than two years!

“Xu, why do you prefer Xuanyuan clan?”

Qingniao Luan asked her son solemnly.

“Mother, uncles and aunts.”

The young man bowed first, then said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: “Emperor Xuanyuan has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the Youxiong clan has been the common ruler of the world for nearly twenty years. In such a long time, a generation has passed. At the beginning, the Youxiong clan defeated Emperor Wangyu, Chiyou and others under the circumstances of being deficient in all aspects. Not to mention now, especially when Emperor Xuanyuan is on the throne, the heaven and the world are jointly managed, and the gods and humans share what they have. The Youxiong clan is extremely powerful. Although the Jiuli Kingdom has signs of revival, in Xu’s view, it is only a flash in the pan, and there will definitely be hardships in the future…”

“Master Xu, my Shaohao country also has the blood of Lieshan, and we have a brotherly relationship with the Jiuli Kingdom. Shaohao once said, ‘the lips and teeth are interdependent.’ If the Jiuli Kingdom is destroyed, the Youxiong clan will keep a close eye on us.” Danniao Bu expressed a different opinion.

What he said was supported by most people.

Lu Chen, who was watching this scene over the long years, also nodded slightly.

This has indeed always been his philosophy.

He did not reject the fusion of Youxiong clan and Lieshan clan, but this fusion must be carried out under the leadership of his own people.

Otherwise, their Shaohao land would definitely be annexed by Youxiong clan.

Of course, what his son said made sense.

The Youxiong clan is very powerful, and even if they cooperate with the Jiuli Kingdom, it will probably be like an egg hitting a rock.

Lu Chen continued to read on. Xu had always been firm in his own ideas. Even if others said that this was suspected of betrayal, Xu insisted on his own statement: “Betrayal is better than the extinction of the clan! Besides, my Shaohao clan has the prestige left by my father, the existence of the predecessors in the Ganshan Forbidden Land, and close relations with Dongfang Zhitian, Qingqiu and other places. Even if the Youxiong clan wants to destroy our Shaohao Wilderness, they have to consider it many times before doing so. The most important thing is that we can also send people to the Jiuyu Land to win over allies. As long as we get through the most difficult time, our crisis will naturally be resolved.”

Zheng Faming, who was standing beside him, was moved by Xu’s words: “Master Xu, do you mean that we should take the initiative to merge with the Youxiong clan?”

Xu looked at Zheng Faming with satisfaction and nodded, “That’s right! Emperor Xuanyuan is in power, and no tribe in the world can turn the world upside down. We can only learn the methods of the Shaohaos. Just like we have the bloodline of Lieshan from Taihao, we can naturally become the bloodline of Youxiong and marry them!”

These words silenced the dissenting voices present.

Not everyone may support Xu’s idea, but it is indeed a way forward.

Although the marriage with Youxiong clan is somewhat humiliating, it is the only condition that can free Shaohao’s land from war.

Qingniao Luan looked at the ministers present and said to Xu: “Then let’s do as you say.”

“Yes, mother!”

Soon, Shaohao’s territory began to move. Mingyun, on behalf of the Tianlu tribe, went on a diplomatic mission to Jiuyu Xuanyuan Hill to ask Youxiong clan to marry one of their noble ladies.

And Xu even went to Jintian clan in person to pay a visit to Xiong Xuanxiao.

Although this commotion caused dissatisfaction among many Lieshan ethnic groups, the facts had already been set and naturally could not be changed.

However, this situation changed three months later after the marriage with Youxiong clan was reached.

There was a group of tribes in Shaohao’s Wilderness that were dissatisfied with the current choice of the Tianlu Tribe and launched a rebellion. The leader of the rebellion was Fengniaohuang of the Fengniao clan.

And on this night of rebellion, a powerful man suddenly took action and assassinated Qingniao Luan.

Bluebird Luan was seriously injured.

When Xu, who was suppressing the rebellion outside, received the news and returned, Qingniao Luan was already dying.

“Mother……”

Xu’s face was full of tears, and he cried bitterly: “Mother, it’s all my fault. It’s my fault. I did something wrong…”

“No, kid, you’re right.”

Qingniaoluan touched her son’s cheek and smiled on her pale face: “Child, you are not wrong. I have agreed with your uncle Fengniaohuang to make preparations for both situations. It’s just that there are bad guys involved. In order to make you feel resentful, they attacked me… Ahem, child, remember, you have to be like your father and don’t let your emotions affect your thinking and reason…”

Even when Qingniao Luan was seriously injured and dying, he still knew that the assassination against him was definitely not done by Fengniao Huang.

If he dares to assassinate me, not to mention the Tianlu tribe, even those who followed him in rebellion will not forgive him!
Xu nodded repeatedly, tightly grasped Qingniaoluan’s hand, and said in a tearful voice: “Mother, Xu remembers, the child remembers… I will go to the Eastern Sky and ask Aunt Nuwa to come over…”

“Silly child, no need…”

Qingniaoluan’s voice gradually weakened: “When your father left, I had no intention of living, but I wanted to see you grow up, and help your father look after Shaohao Wilderness… Now that you have grown up, Shaohao Wilderness has a new way out, and I am going to see your father too… Husband, are you here to pick me up…”

Qingniao Luan’s voice became weaker and weaker. She looked at the ceiling of Shaohao Hall with her eyes. She seemed to see a young man with a smile on his face, stretching his hand towards her: “Luan’er, I’m back to pick you up…”

“Husband…”

A teardrop fell from the corner of Qingniao Luan’s eye: “Waiting for Luan’er…”

Breathing stops.

“Mom!”

Xu roared loudly instantly.

In the long river of time, Lu Chen slowly stretched out his hand, but the damn gate of time was not something he could approach.

“Luan’er…”

Lu Chen murmured.

To be honest, he had no feelings for Qingniao Luan.

But after Qingniao Luan followed him, she had no regrets and never even asked him for a status.

Especially, she raised Xu alone until he grew up. Although she had been in charge of the Tianlu tribe for more than ten years, she had never interfered with the power of the Tianlu tribe. The top leaders of the Tianlu tribe were still the same people. Except for herself, there was no top leader of the Qingniao clan.

It can be said that she was really doing this for the Tianlu Department, not for the so-called power.

This is why all clan leaders in Shaohao’s Wilderness respect her very much, and are willing to help when they hear that the Tianlu tribe is in trouble.

“You are still a romantic man.” The One and Only Emperor suddenly laughed.

“If you say one more word of nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Lu Chen’s voice was extremely cold.

After getting along with Lu Chen for more than ten years, the One and Only Emperor Tian also knows what kind of person Lu Chen is.

His current temper must have been extremely rageous.

Shaking his head, the Only Emperor of Heaven said nothing.

But Lu Chen asked: “Can the Netherworld see it?”

The only Heavenly Emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said after a moment of silence: “Okay, but that old guy Tu Bo can also spot our gazes.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Lu Chen said.

The Solitary Emperor of Heaven saw this and said nothing. The scene on the screen changed and they arrived in the Netherworld.

In the dark sky, a silvery moon hung high in the sky.

Then, an old man with two horns suddenly appeared in front of the screen: “You two?”

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly: “The only Heavenly Emperor… there is another person… who is it?”

When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn’t help but be stunned: “Is he stronger than Xuanyuan?”

“Of course it’s impossible, but the Netherworld is this old guy’s territory. He has some strange authority, so he can detect some information about the long river of time…”

“Shaohao!?”

Before the Weiyi Tiandi finished speaking, Tu Bo on the screen suddenly said in shock: “Shaohao, you are not dead? How did you enter the long river of time… No, is this the method left by Shennong Tiandi?”

After a moment of shock, Tu Bo regained his composure.

This kind of existence that has lived for billions of years can rarely cause him to change his emotions: “Just now, the Blue Bird Luan died… So that’s how it is. I understand what Shaohao meant. Don’t worry, Shaohao. I will take good care of the Blue Bird Luan’s true spirit…”

“…”

Lu Chen didn’t say a word, but Tu Bo seemed to understand why Lu Chen was fixating his gaze on the Netherworld.

As he waved his hand, the Forgotten River in the Netherworld suddenly flowed backwards, and a fluorescent blue bird spirit flew up from the Forgotten River and was carefully collected into his sleeve.

“Shaohao, take care of yourself too!” Tu Bo said slowly, “My life is short, and I will be handed over to Hou Tu in the future. If anything happens to me, Shaohao can go find Hou Tu.”

Lu Chen did not reply, and even if he did, Tu Bo would not be able to hear him.

He just said calmly: “Go back to the human world.”

The One and Only Emperor of Heaven didn’t waste any words and turned his attention back to the human world.

In the underworld, Emperor Hou Tu came to Tu Bo.

“This is Shaohao’s wife, the true spirit of the Blue Bird Luan. You should keep her well and wait for the right day to let her reincarnate.”

Emperor Hou Tu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on: “May I ask, Lord Tu, when is the right day?”

“Maybe you will understand by then.” Tu Bo shook his head.

He didn’t understand either, he just hoped that by then, Hou Tu would be able to understand when was the most appropriate time.
