Chapter 135: The Struggle of the Great Dao, Remnants of the Imperial Relic! (Please Subscribe) _5
[Years ago, due to a great shift in heaven and earth, I sealed myself, waiting for the cycle of reincarnation to reset everything before unsealing and reviving to compete for the Great Dao.]
[However, for some unknown reason, the self-sealing method suddenly failed, and the seal was prematurely lifted before the predetermined time, bringing me into the world unexpectedly.]
[When you wanted to ask more, Li Tongzhen had no intention of conversing with you. In his eyes, you, the former Town-Nation Duke's Heir, were utterly insignificant, and engaging in casual conversation was only out of respect for your past association.]
[Although you are unaware of the more detailed circumstances, having experienced such events, you have realized that every corner of this world is filled with countless powerful beings.]
[Originally, you believed that once you cultivated to the Heavenly Human Realm, you might not be invincible, but at the very least, you could be hailed as a strong figure of the current age.]
[Yet now, in front of an existence like Li Tongzhen, you can't even compare to a tiny ant.]
[Your heart is wounded, but the past events hurt you even more.]
[If not for the sudden disappearance of all the Sky-Men years ago, if Great Yuan hadn't been the first to incite chaos and attack Great Zhou, then Great Zhou, which Wu Ling had been desperately supporting, might have held on a little longer.]
[Utter defeat.]
[If not for Great Yuan's surprise attack, even if Great Zhou's territories were partially divided by the King of South Ming, it wouldn't have ended up like now, confined to just a city's worth of land.]
[Because of this defeat, you, and even the entire Duke Zhen's Mansion, have lost all status in Great Zhou.]
[Otherwise, had you not been afflicted with resource scarcity today, you might have already cultivated to the Heavenly Human Realm.]
[Thinking of this, your heart feels cold, and when you recall that Prince of Great Yuan who barged into the capital city, wishing he could trample over your face, you feel a bitter itch in your heart.]
[You believe that your current weakness is largely due to what Great Yuan did back then, and if given the chance, you're determined to avenge those past grievances and trample the face of today's Emperor Wu Mengde of Great Yuan under your foot.]
[Three-star Task: Trample the face of Emperor Wu Mengde of Great Yuan under your foot.]
[Task Reward: Emperor's Face Token (one-time use)]
Cheng Guang stared at his system task for a long time, the more he looked, the more puzzled he became.
Emperor Wu Mengde of Great Yuan?
Who is that?
The current Emperor of Great Yuan is named Wu Tongda, not Wu Mengde.
And among the many sons of the Emperor of Great Yuan, Cheng Guang has never heard of anyone named Wu Mengde.
Is this person suddenly made up?
Cheng Guang doesn't understand.
After glancing briefly at the system task.
Cheng Guang felt another toothache coming on.
"Great Yuan will launch an attack on Great Zhou first?"
Great Yuan is the strongest among the four major dynasties and borders Great Zhou. The Great Zhou Dynasty has always been extremely cautious in its dealings with Great Yuan.
When Emperor Wu Shang of Great Zhou was still around, the relationship between Great Yuan and Great Zhou was still in its honeymoon phase.
The two sides engaged in trade, intermarriage, and cultural exchanges.
But.
Stay connected with empire
Once Emperor Wu Shang of Great Zhou is gone.
The relationship between Great Yuan and Great Zhou becomes unequal.
Cheng Guang originally thought that even if there were great upheavals in the world, it wouldn't start with a war among the four major dynasties.
It would begin with internal strife within each dynasty, which would then gradually spread to other places.
But now...
It was Great Yuan attacking Great Zhou right off the bat.
"The Emperor of Great Yuan, he didn't enter the Secret Realm, did he?"
Cheng Guang frowned slightly, took a moment to recall, and realized that the Emperor of Great Yuan had not entered the Secret Realm.
That is to say.
Like the Great Wei Dynasty, the current ruler of the Great Yuan Dynasty is also a Sky-Man.
Great Zhou, however, is different now.
The only Sky-Man known publicly is the Duke of the State.
Could it be about withdrawing the Duke of the State from the Border Area battlefield to deal with the Emperor of Great Yuan?
Cheng Guang shook his head and murmured, "No, if Great Yuan is going to attack Great Zhou, the Emperor of Great Yuan won't stand idly by. If it's because the Emperor of Great Yuan is going to take action, then withdrawing the Duke from the Border Area battlefield will only lead to the Demon Army flooding into the Four Directions Mortal World."
"If it really comes to that, the battle in the Four Directions Mortal World won't just be between the major dynasties, the situation will become incredibly complicated."
As Cheng Guang pondered this, he felt overwhelmed by the difficulties ahead.
Unless absolutely necessary, Cheng Guang was unwilling to have the Duke retreat from the front lines.
If the Duke withdrew.
The people on Great Yuan's side could also withdraw.
In the end, it is always the common folk who suffer.
"How to counterattack Great Yuan's offense needs more careful consideration, Great Yuan hasn't sent troops into Great Zhou so quickly yet."
"I still have time to prepare."
"Right now, Emperor Wu Shang of Great Zhou is not around, and in the current court of Great Zhou, Wu Ling is the only person who has any say."
"I might need to talk to Wu Ling about this ahead of time."
Cheng Guang muttered to himself.
While thinking, he opened the doors and windows.
Looking at the cold descending outside, with frost forming and layers of mist floating in the air, he found the view captivatingly beautiful.
Cheng Guang admired the scenery in the courtyard.
Just as he was feeling sleepy and about to turn in for the night,
The Black Cub, who was sleeping soundly in the corner of the Million Specie Garden, suddenly stood up, staring intently up at the sky.
Cheng Guang had no idea what it was watching.
Then,
It started barking loudly again.
"Black Cub."
Cheng Guang called out to the Black Cub.
He wondered what had gotten into the Black Cub all of a sudden.
