Chapter 660: Chapter 572: National Enmity and Family Hatred, Camp Distribution

[Precept Taboo:

’Cause’ begets, ’Effect’ is begotten, good causes bring good effects, evil causes bring evil effects.

The Deceit Realm will draw historical segments that have created significant ’Causality’ between conflicting parties back to this era, dividing camps to resolve the karma.

The levels of contradiction include: racial survival, national and familial hatred, sect disputes, power strife, personal grievances...

From primary to secondary contradictions, each time there are two opposing camps experiencing one historical event after another until all the karma between everyone involved is dissolved.

Once you leave this place, all karma disappears!

First, everyone’s consciousness will be projected into a corresponding historical segment, onto an individual that best matches their own temperament.

The upper limit of one’s power will be based on the character they embody, while their physical body remains in the original timeline.

Second, of the two fighting sides, one is responsible for maintaining the original course of history, while the other strives to change history and reverse the karma formed in the past.

In the end, only one side will emerge victorious in each historical segment, the losers die!!!...]

Everyone’s consciousness was extracted, and with a dizzying whirl, they had just entered this segment of history known as the "Earthwork Platform Incident."]

A message was forcibly crammed into everyone’s mind.

It also made the already apprehensive Flame People’s hearts pound again, leading them to ask their souls a series of desperate questions:

’Turn the tide of battle? The losers all die?

’With only consciousness and no power, how can we change history, turn the tide of battle?

’Is it just because during drinking and bragging, we instructed on two hundred years more of history than the ancients?’

Clearly, the historical segment they had entered was akin to the various perilous ’Deceit Realms’ commonly seen outside.

Only by fulfilling specific conditions could they possibly survive.

A dead person settles all debts, no matter how great the karma; if the person is gone, everything can be resolved.

In plain terms, the only thing to do is—win!

But such a harsh rule, allowing only consciousness to be brought and not power, essentially sentenced the weaker side to death.

In this world where power returns to oneself, no matter how strong military tactics are or achieving the effect of ’using a minuscule force to move something massive,’ the prerequisite is that one must also have the strength of something massive!

History had already proved that once the trend was irreversible, even the most subtle plans could not turn the tide.

Whether it was Xie Tianke’s Border Army or Su Guyun’s Chuyun Army, all were in mourning.

They had numerous eloquent Great Yan phrases they wanted to tell that ’Great Yan War God.’

’So the Yellow Heaven Divine System had already set a trap here, planning to wipe us all out in one fell swoop?’

’It’s over, everything is over!’

’We are undoubtedly going to die this time!’

The others did not know what sort of entity the ’Great Yan War God’ was, but how could these military-serving Flame People not know?

In a nutshell: he would bury even his own father!

Before the founding of Great Yan three hundred years ago, the Naiman tribes were already the dominators of the grasslands, raiding and plundering at will every year.

At the beginning of Great Yan’s establishment, not only did they rebuild the ten-thousand-mile city walls, but also with the authority of uniting Red County Shenzhou’s initial elite forces, they took the offensive.

The Naiman tribes retreated defeat after defeat, with more than a handful of Han Kings from the five tribes killed.

The General Duke Liang even annihilated the core tribe of the then joint ruler of the five tribes, capturing the prestigious Princess Consort.

The peak of their military prowess was evident.

However, after experiencing the reigns of Ancestor, Huizong, Taizong, Emperor Renzong, and Xuanzong, by the time of the sixth Emperor Ying...

Zhou Qizhen acted foolishly, favoring the Grand Eunuch Wang Zhen, leading to weakened governmental rules and daily national decline.

In contrast, on the grasslands, Chuoluosi among the Naiman tribes began arming and training his forces.

On one hand, he appeared to reduce sacrifices to the Cang God, showing a distancing from the Heaven Righteous Dharma Dao, actively paying tribute to Emperor Ying to maintain good relations with Great Yan.

The Naiman envoys going to Yunjing each year reached up to two thousand, gradually gaining abundant wealth and intelligence through tribute trade.

He also heavily bribed Grand Eunuch Wang Zhen, gaining the cover and protection of Wang Zhen and the town-guarding Eunuch of Xiaxi Town, Guo Jing, continuously lowering the Great Yan Court’s guards against him.

On the other hand, he expanded his power eastward and westward, at one point controlling portions of Tanhuan and the Western Regions’ territories, threatening the east and west flanks of the ten-thousand-mile city walls.

In the fourteenth orthodox year of Emperor Ying, Chuoluosi suddenly turned hostile, using the Great Yan Court’s mishandling of tribute affairs as an excuse, personally leading a large army to attack Xiaxi Town.

Wang Zhen completely disregarded the officials’ advisement, fervently inciting Emperor Ying to personally lead the campaign with an army of five hundred thousand, including three major camps [Daoist Soldiers].

The army set off hastily with insufficient provisions.

Even though they encountered continuous heavy rain, they were still urged on by Wang Zhen, resulting in exhausted people and horses and dissipated morale.

In the midst, the numerous foolish tricks employed by Emperor Ying and Wang Zhen were countless.

Before the army even reached the battlefield...

Upon learning of the Border Army’s defeat, Wang Zhen immediately ordered a retreat. After several misdirections exhausting their strength, they fell back to the Earthwork Platform.

Using the excuse that more than a thousand supply carts had not arrived, he ordered camping on the spot, resulting in falling right into Chuoluosi’s scheme and the army’s immediate collapse.

In the end, out of the five hundred thousand troops, more than two hundred thousand elites were killed or wounded.

Among the civil and military officials who followed the campaign, including the veteran general Duke Ying of Great Success [Martial Saint] Zhang Fu, a veteran warlord from the era of Emperor Wen, all of them perished.

Emperor Ying was also captured by Chuoluosi.

All because of his series of actions, which were more bewildering than a romantic novel, he was later nicknamed the ’Great Yan War God’ and became a laughingstock.
