Origin Paradise!

Jiang He was speechless. In the eyes of the battlefield, even a seventh-order ruler was probably an ant, let alone the Divine Court World Group, which had no gods in existence.

Chu Fuqiang explained in detail: "In that world, the sub-hero can be regarded as a separate realm. In this way, the difficulty of advancing from the peak of gold to hero can be reduced by 30% overall. However, the time and effort required are greater. To put it simply, the transformation mission is expected to become a super-large-scale chain mission. Of course, great achievements and willpower are still indispensable."

The value of this intelligence is self-evident.

But Jiang He didn't intend to take a detour. First of all, he wasn't at the peak of his golden age yet. Secondly, since he had the ability to directly ascend to the level of a hero at his peak, there was no need to waste time.

"Thank you for the reminder," Jiang He said. Revealing this kind of information to outsiders would most likely violate the regulations of the Bureau of Order.

"Haha, buddy, just don't spread it around." Chu Fuqiang waved his hand with a smile, but then changed the subject, "Don't blame me for being nosy, but in my opinion, there are definitely some rules against you in this world war. Otherwise, as the dominant power, you would have too much of an advantage. And since the war can be held as scheduled, it means that these rules have been implemented."

Jiang He nodded. Lilith had the same view that he would be targeted. After witnessing his return to the throne, there was no question of letting him go unpunished. However, in principle, the rewards should also be increased.

In short, the game doesn't need to start if it's not aimed at the dominant power of the era. The various factions don't need to participate in the battles for control. It is precisely because of differences in ownership that the struggle for control arises.

"I'll leave this to you, brother. When I get back, the Southern District of the Bureau of Order will come to clean up the mess." Chu Fuqiang clasped his hands in a fist salute and disappeared.

Jiang He arrived at the coast, activated the time loop, and restored the half-mermaid in front of him to its original state. Immediately afterwards, a huge domain gate spread across the sea, and combined with spatial powers, it packed everything away.

The next moment, he chose to end the mission.

Chapter 552 The Battle for the World Begins!

Border, Yuwang City.

Jiang He returned and handed over the crystallized flesh and blood power to Wu He, enhancing his life-saving abilities.

Meanwhile, the Blessed Land of Gluttony gained an additional 100,000 ancient inhabitants.

"The current flow of time is at its highest speed."

Jiang He went straight to the top of the cliff in Yuwang Valley, sat down on the cliff, and looked out at the familiar dark forest. He took out his silver spear, from which extended lines of domain and destiny, which intertwined and flew into the forest.

[Hint: You have created the Epic Arcane Artifact - Fate Fishing Rod]

Jiang He closed his eyes to rest, knowing that whatever exotic creatures he caught depended entirely on luck, and he didn't have high expectations.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to ten years in this blessed land.

In the Blessed Land of Gluttony, from the celestial realm, the small black dots appear to be increasing in number.

After the initial chaos, the 100,000 ancient people were divided into seven camps, each occupying a side. Due to the prolonged madness, most of them lost their memories, and someone naturally didn't bother to use the time ring to restore this part of the content.

The Gluttony Era lasted for ten years, during which seven kings reigned simultaneously, and wars raged on endlessly.

Agriculture, rituals, and music were fully restored, and many small towns sprang up. However, the population, which had once reached nearly 200,000, declined sharply due to the war. The seven kings fought each other, forming alliances and betraying each other. Countless heroes emerged, and the Creation Stele inscribed with "Do not ascend" was deliberately buried. The city of Zhaowang was built on the site of that Stele.

"If we don't reproduce, what's the point of fighting every day?"

Jiang He opened her eyes while sitting on the edge of the cliff. A little girl in white came up with a lunchbox, delivered it, and then went back to sleep.

After finishing his meal, he tore out the page from the Holy Martial Arts Ceremony that recorded the story of Qianshan Xue and threw it directly into the mortal world of Zhaowang City.

……

Gluttony lasted for twenty years.

Because of the appearance of the Heavenly Book, the Zhao Kingdom began to come into contact with extraordinary power for the first time. The first King Zhao died of illness, and the second king worked hard to govern the country and trained a 3,000-strong imperial guard. Everyone learned the Heavenly Book's spear technique and could fire several spears in an instant, greatly increasing their combat power.

Thus, the most rudimentary method of spiritual practice was born.

Over the next three years, the Zhao Kingdom pursued a policy of befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones, eventually conquering six other kingdoms. Unfortunately, the second emperor was exhausted and died from vomiting blood. The prince who controlled the Heavenly Book Imperial Guard ascended the throne as emperor.

Thirty years of gluttony have brought peace and tranquility to the land.

Most of the original ancient people have passed away, but those who have not lost their memories have written books, compiled national history, and the culture has flourished.

"No, Ah Er, come here for a second."

"Yes."

Jiang He roasted and ate the rock sheep he had caught, then summoned A'er over, gave him some instructions, and threw him into the Gluttony Paradise. At the same time, he also stripped the life of one of the princes of Emperor Zhao's third generation.

It is worth mentioning that the Zhao Kingdom's fortune provided some resistance to the Life-Crushing Technique, but overall it was not a big problem. This is because the Zhao Kingdom was inherently flawed, and the entire blessed land was only the size of an ancient prefecture. In contrast, the Tokyo Fortress in the post-apocalyptic world covers one metropolis and four prefectures, roughly 12000 square kilometers.

-

Forty years of gluttony brought turmoil to the world.

The illegitimate son of Emperor Zhao III, A'er, appeared. His strength was unparalleled. He led eight hundred men straight into the palace from Wuxuan Gate, captured and killed Emperor Zhao, and usurped the throne, becoming Emperor Zhao IV.

After a period of purges, Emperor Zhao, the fourth emperor, ordered the burning of the national history. All records related to the origins of the ancients were considered heresies and misleading. For this, he did not hesitate to kill tens of thousands of people unjustly, and every family wore mourning clothes.

Rebellions broke out everywhere, and Emperor Zhao personally led four campaigns to quell the rebellions one by one. However, the White Lotus Sect was secretly established, attempting to restore order to the country.

Peace returned to the world once again.

Emperor Zhao, the fourth emperor, immediately ordered all his subjects to learn the Heavenly Book Spear Technique, making it the sole criterion for selecting and dismissing officials. In an instant, the practice of spear techniques became a craze.

At the same time, Jiang He activated his divine thinking, patiently observing the myriad evolutions of the people of the blessed land regarding the snow on the thousand mountains. Naturally, this did not improve his skill level, but everyone had different approaches to practicing shooting, which could provide a lot of ideas and inspiration. In the technical industry, the value and importance of both are self-evident.

Gluttony lasted for seventy years.

Jiang He's Dragon Spear Technique: Thousand Mountains Snow has advanced to the Immortal level. With a thousand spears in an instant, the foundation of his martial arts, which he has both positive and negative experiences of, has begun to accumulate and unleash. In addition, due to the formation of the mythical form, the Dragon Spear Technique: Evil of This World has advanced to the Immortal level: God's End. The Brocade Ash, along with the ultimate flame of power, has also reached the Immortal level.

Almost at the same time, Ah Er, with his heroic will, completed his golden state and golden heart, thus becoming a complete sub-hero.

Jiang He did not intend to waste Ah Er's lifespan. After Ah Er left the blessed land, he activated the Heavenly Mandate and Time Ring to replicate his lifespan onto Ah Da and Ah San. The two of them spent two years in the Blessed Land of Gluttony, and their lives were fulfilled.

Gluttony lasted for eighty years.

Emperor Zhao died in the night of his fifth reign, and his sixth reign followed.

This was a rare and wise ruler.

During his reign, he consolidated power, ensuring smooth governance and social harmony. He personally encouraged agriculture, leading to a population explosion in the blessed land of Baoshi, reaching 1.2 million. After deducting consumption and expenditures, the average annual grain reserves reached 200,000 shi (a unit of dry measure). By the 90th year of the Baoshi era, the Dazhao Granary was established, storing 2 million shi of grain.

The abundant harvest was theoretically enough to supply 17000 ordinary infantrymen for a whole year, but food has a shelf life, and the Da Zhao granary had reached its limit.

At the same time, the Heavenly Book, Shattered Dragon Spine, descended to earth.

Gluttony has lasted for a century.

The world is at peace and the nation is strong.

Emperor Zhao, the sixth emperor, ordered the entire territory to mobilize for war. During the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven, he addressed the civil and military officials, saying: "We must expand our territory, cross the high walls, and rule the outside world."

After he finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the bright sun suddenly turned pitch black during the day, lasting for three days and three nights, plunging the Zhao Kingdom into chaos.

An official submitted a memorial stating: This is an act of divine wrath.

Emperor Zhao, the sixth emperor, fell seriously ill and issued an edict of self-reproach. He then returned to normal life as usual, but died three days later. The seventh emperor ascended the throne, but died in the middle of a war to expand the territory.

……

Ten days have passed, at the border city of Yuwang.

Jiang He finished observing the Dao, with the remains of the alien species piled up like a mountain beside him. Whether it was managing the blessed land or fishing activities, he had reaped remarkable results. It is worth noting that the ten-year flow rate requires him to pay close attention to the blessed land. If he ignores it, it will only last for one or two years.

"There was a minor oversight."

Jiang He thought to herself, because the copy of the Hidden Military Chapter is in the Blessed Heaven Realm, and a hundred years have passed, the dancers and musicians inside have all died of old age.

An immortal artifact could not possibly grant these people eternal life in the dust, but fortunately, the flow of time in the celestial realm and the mortal world has been separated, with the former being the same as the outside world.

"When I meet the chosen one again and strip away fate, I can create a simple version in the blessed land."

"The royal family is being too lenient by handing over all authority to the locals."

Jiang He pondered for a moment. He himself had no intention of passing on his bloodline, lest it become a weakness for himself, and the same applied to the members of the animal team.

"From now on, the right of kings will be divinely ordained."

Suddenly, a notification sound rang.

With five days remaining before the World Mission cooldown, the Origin's Call to Arms has been issued ahead of schedule.

[Note: This battle will not consume any World Quest attempts. Respond to the call?]

"Yes." Jiang He called over three companions.

The next moment, a familiar cutscene appeared before his eyes.

Across the vast land, iron cavalry swept down in a mighty hail of smoke, annihilating armies and destroying cities. On the altar of Heaven, a figure in yellow robes stood majestic as the sea. In a narrow alley, two dark figures crossed paths, their swords clashing, and they fell to the ground. Famous mountains and great rivers, magnificent palaces and pavilions surrounded the area.

[With two suns in the sky, in the first year of Yongqing, the Northern Wei cavalry swept across Jiangbei, controlling twenty-four prefectures and winning many victories along the way. However, they suffered a setback at the Battle of Ruyang after crossing the Yangtze River, and their military advance was thwarted. The previous dynasty consolidated its position and established the Southern Liang, ruling the world together with the aristocratic families. At the same time, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, the Western Barbarians rose up, and archers filled the mountains and plains.]

[Heroes of the martial world vie for supremacy, the ten major sects stand firm, their unparalleled warriors roam freely across the land, the demonic sect rises from the ashes, and the struggle for the nine sacred beast wielders unfolds amidst the clash of swords.]

[Task Name: Contending for Supremacy]

[Mission Requirements: Players from different factions will descend upon different battlefields. The faction that ultimately unifies the battlefields will be victorious. The player who contributes the most to the victorious side will receive the Sun Core (which can be refined by those with similar abilities to generate power, or to elevate that power to the level of Sun Authority)).

[Note: The World of Chasing Deer was originally part of the Divine Court World. Its spatial solidity is Tier 1000 (significantly reducing the player's destructive power). It is currently in its Golden Age. Due to the existence of the Sun Core, energy consumption and stamina consumption have increased to 1000%.]

[Final Battlefield: 1000 people/Northern Wei]

[Battlefield of All Beings: 1000 people/Southern Liang]

[Twilight Battlefield: 1000 people/Western Barbarians]

[Origin Battlefield: 100 people/Nanliang]

[Note: If the winning factions overlap, the battle for the World Core will begin.]

[Note: The martial arts training system in the world of Conqueror is as follows:]

Ordinary Hero - Fifth Realm Land Immortal (Enemy of Ten Thousand)

Sub-Hero - Fourth Realm: Myriad Manifestations (Enemy of a Thousand)

Golden Peak - Third Realm: Profound Realm (Enemy of 100)

Golden Elite - Second Realm Shackled Realm

Ordinary Gold - Common Man/First Realm Snow Mountain Realm

[Note: This world features a special profession – Military Strategist – who requires no training but can command a large army by mastering military tactics and the power of the Sun Core. This army, in the form of a Sun Soldier, consumes the energy, stamina, health, and speed of warriors, but possesses no actual combat power. Due to the legendary status of the Sun Core, the corresponding debuffs are difficult to avoid.]

[Note: The top 20 masters in the world are currently limited to nine Earth Immortals (ordinary heroes) due to previous secret restrictions by the Divine Court.]

[Hint: Nine Sacred Beast Envoys – Vessels within which sacred beasts are sealed (the sacred beasts are ordinary heroic beings)]

[Hint: The Ten Great Sects – Sects that have historically produced multiple immortals on land, including the Shu Sword Pavilion, the Sun Moon Demonic Sect, the Heavenly Zen Temple, and the Moral Sect, etc.]

[Hint: Land Immortal – Because they are not gods or immortals, and cannot live peacefully outside the world like legends, but can roam freely on land, they are called Land Immortals. Due to the special nature of this world (isolated by the core of the sun and the divine court), they descend and attempt to advance to the level of an ordinary hero, and must complete great deeds in this world (regardless of whether they have completed great deeds before)]

[Executor's Exclusive Notice: Due to discrepancies in the world location selection of the three battlefields, initial identity compensation has been activated for the Executor. A warning has been issued for the Executor being accompanied by a regular Hero-level player.]

[Executor's initial identity: Ninth Prince of Southern Liang (already enfeoffed as Prince of Yong, then enfeoffed as Dongyang in Qingzhou)]

[Initial identity of the smuggled player: Eldest daughter of the Pei family, a prominent clan in Qingzhou (already the wife of Prince Yong/This hero-level player can defend herself during the competition, but is strictly prohibited from initiating combat)]

[Hunter Companion - Jiang Danglu: Yongwang's Imperial Guard (Rank 5)]

[Hunter Companion - Motley Crew: Registrar of the Yong Prince's Palace (Rank 9)]

World, begin!

Chapter 553 Prince Yong's Mansion

At the fourth watch of the night, the darkness was as black as ink.

As the capital of Qingzhou in the Southern Liang Dynasty, Dongyang City imposed a curfew after nightfall. As usual, the Dongyang Garrison dispatched a full-strength thousand-household unit, consisting of 1120 professional soldiers in armor and armed with guns, led by various "bazong" (commanders), to patrol the streets and alleys.

Every house was tightly shut. In a roadside inn, several wandering swordsmen saw armored soldiers approaching outside the window, so they quickly extinguished the candles on the table and tiptoed back to their rooms.

The princes were granted titles six months ago.

Apart from the eldest prince, the crown prince, and the third prince, all other princes were to go to their respective fiefdoms and were not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict.

Among them, Prince Yong was not allocated a wealthy prefecture in Jiangnan because his maternal clan was executed. Instead, he was assigned to Dongyang Prefecture, which is close to the frontier.

Pei Shouzhen, Minister of War, Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall, and Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, submitted a memorial to the Emperor, who arranged for the marriage of a woman from the Pei family of Dongyang to the Prince's residence. The Prince of Yong's estate, including the land he received as a dowry, already exceeded ten thousand hectares.

Three months ago, the Prince's Palace was scheduled to hold a banquet, and on the eve of Prince Yong's official debut in the region, an elder of the Demonic Sect launched an assassination attempt. More than ten scholars and soldiers who came to pay their respects suffered heavy casualties, and Prince Yong fell ill and never recovered.
