Chapter 661: Chapter 572: National Feuds and Family Hatreds, Camp Distribution Part 2
Moreover, after Emperor Ying was captured, showing none of an emperor’s dignity, he actively cooperated with the Naiman People by going to his own border and having the Border Army open the gate to save his own life.
It’s truly absurd to the extreme.
This was something that even the two emperors before him had never done.
When he was ransomed back to Great Yan, he turned around and purged those who’d cleaned up after him and stood firm like the Sea Stabilizing Needle, guarding the nation’s gates, including Young Protector Yu Tingyi and a large number of capable officials.
He could be called the most shameful emperor in the history of Great Yan, even in the entire history of Yan Han, nailed firmly to the pillar of historical disgrace.
The court and the public widely regarded this disaster at Earthwork Platform as the turning point of Great Yan Kingdom’s power and even as the beginning of its long-term decline over the ensuing two hundred years.
The wealth accumulated by the previous five emperors over nearly a hundred years was squandered in this battle.
Especially the three major camps that Emperor Wen of Taizong had built with painstaking effort were reduced to ashes, leaving merely the Daoist Firearms and Cannons picked up by the five divisions of the Naiman on the battlefield, totaling over ten thousand.
Even after rebuilding the major camps decades later, their former glory was no more.
The proactive policy of striking first once employed by Great Yan had thoroughly failed, and thereafter the Border Army hardly ever launched large-scale offensives to clear out the various Naiman tribes again.
In this rare major defeat in the history of Great Yan spanning three hundred years.
Most Daoist Soldiers had already been exasperated to death by the emperor Ying and Wang Zhen in their follies.
Even with two or three more Martial Saints, it was impossible to prevail against the Ten Thousand Enemies Skill unleashed by the Martial Saint at the Great Success Stage.
Watching himself being wrapped in a beam of Divine Light and rushed towards the Earthwork Platform, surrounded by a panicked throng of ministers escorting the Emperor with their yellow parasols, Zhu Bo’an couldn’t help but sigh deeply:
"My great enterprise has yet to achieve success, and I am falling mid-way.
I can only die and return to the Yin Department, becoming a lowly Earth Department Judge.
No, that’s wrong, the Taboo says that the losers are all to be used as Human Sacrifice; dying in such a Deceit Realm, I fear I won’t even become a Ghost."
He turned his head to look at the item his master had given him in advance to protect his life that was still within his Body, and Li Chengyun beside him, who was also rushing towards the Earthwork Platform.
He couldn’t help but silently scream in his mind:
"Master, save me!"
He hadn’t had any real hope for this plea, but as soon as he uttered these words,
the Deceit Realm seemed to stutter on the Precept Taboo in his heart that he hadn’t finished articulating.
"Error... Error... Variable has exceeded the current error tolerance of One-Handed Covering the Sky!***...&&...###..."
Zhu Bo’an fixed his gaze and saw
that when the majority of the Soldiers, including the four Martial Saints, were being drawn into the history of "the disaster at Earthwork Platform,"
in the normal timeline.
The eight remaining Green Seal sages and the Body of Su Guyun mid-transcendence were all releasing their Inner Scene Heaven and Earth, resisting the power of the Deceit Realm with all their might.
After Green Seal, they each had their own little world and could start to control their Fate, no longer drifting with the tide.
In the current situation where One-Handed Covering the Sky was trying to drag them into a predetermined trajectory, their resistance to Deceit Realm was naturally particularly strong.
The hitherto impeccable One-Handed Covering the Sky suddenly encountered an unexpected variable.
Even the piece of history seemed to pause abruptly, suddenly freezing in place.
If it had only been one or two more Green Seal sages, it might not have mattered much.
But Wang Yuan, having struck from afar with Wangba Fist, unexpectedly sent in eight all at once, far exceeding the Deceit Realm’s carrying capacity.
What difference was there between this and seven or eight monkeys wreaking havoc in Heavenly Palace after entering Aunty’s belly?
Even the three Green Seal Strange Immortals who had also been tricked in, after losing the chance to be recorded in Green History, instinctively resisted the battlefield’s pull with all their might.
They knew best that while "Resolving Karma" sounded good, if they couldn’t break out of the Deceit Realm and escape to safety, they were bound to die!
Even if only one person remained, there would still be a conflict between "Self" and "Super Self" within him.
There would always be a chance to kill Xie Tianke and Su Guyun later, but one’s own life was irreplaceable.
"Right, we still have to follow the matriarch’s orders and kill Star Lord Taibai, we can’t die here!"
For a while, the Ritual of the Deceit Realm couldn’t truly commence, and the group of Green Seal Sages could only struggle bitterly, unable to advance or retreat.
And the remaining six, looking at the three with guilty consciences who practiced the Five Techniques of Civilian Control, also seemed ready to devour them.
"How dare you, after my Lord Medicine Cha decreed that there might be Strange Immortals coming down from Heaven soon.
You have the audacity to scheme against so many of our own, our Buddha’s Hand sect and your Yellow Heaven Divine System are now irreconcilable!"
Buddha’s Hand couldn’t help but curse loudly.
Incidentally, it also determined the standing of the trio, placing them against everyone else.
"My Great Heavenly Dog also said the Heaven God System sent help along with you from Yellow Heaven, sneaking in through the ’backdoor.’ While you’re all fine and dandy here, their Soul Lamps have been extinguished."
"This debt must also be settled with you!"
Food is Heaven, with his dog eyes turning blood-red, gazed at the most tempting among the three, [Lady Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall], considering how to bite down.
After they shouted their threats, the pulling force of the Deceit Realm suddenly intensified.
The conflict between the others and the trio who started this was a matter of Sect disputes, personal grudges, and the "Causality" that needed to be resolved.
This naturally led to an increase in the power of Rituals.
The [Five Techniques of Civilian Control] trio exchanged glances, harboring unspeakable difficulties.
At this juncture of life and death, they racked their brains but couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.
After another moment of a standoff.
The Deceit Realm had no choice but to compromise with the many Green Seals, as the extremely strict [Precept Taboo] suddenly changed:
[One, participants’ Consciousness, Taoist Ability, and Deceit Objects can all be inserted into new identities in history.
Two, the losers become Human Sacrifices, while the winners divide the losers’ possessions with the Deceit Realm according to their contributions, including: all rights, Knowledge, Deceit Objects, Taoist Ability...
Three, once someone completely reverses the course of a historical segment, completing an impossible task, there’s a certain possibility of breaking free from history and returning to the normal timeline.
Note: If someone has personally experienced a certain historical segment, they can directly replace their past self.]
Although it was still dangerous, it was no longer a certain death sentence.
The next moment.
Divine Lights descended, and the Consciousness of everyone in the historical segments finally returned to their places at the same time.
"The Earthwork Platform incident" was two hundred years ago, and even Mages only have a lifespan of two hundred and forty years; those who had firsthand experience of that battle were extremely rare.
As expected, being the one with the strongest Dragon Energy among everyone, Li Chengyun’s Consciousness was the first to fall into Emperor Ying, Zhou Qizhen.
Many heaved a sigh of relief.
If that incompetent Emperor were to command at this critical juncture, everyone might as well cleanly slit their throats.
The second to take his position was Xie Tianke, who found himself in the Great Success Realm [Martial Saint] Duke of Ying Land, Zhang Fu...
"I am..."
When Zhu Bo’an opened his eyes, he was assailed by the faint stench of urine and the heavy scent of makeup powder on his body, causing his brows to furrow.
As he incredulously reached down to grab something, his body suddenly stiffened.
"The identity I’ve been given is... the Grand Eunuch... Wang Zhen???"
Being the prime minister under Su Guyun, and considering Su Guyun had replaced Emperor Ying, this servile position seemed, after all, not unexpected.
It wasn’t until Zhu Bo’an felt the object his master had given him in his waist pocket that he was slightly reassured.
Behind them, the original Chuyun Army, the Border Army, had all found their places among the historical ranks of the five hundred thousand elite troops.
On the opposing side.
The troops of the Naiman Five Divisions were unsurprisingly all joined under the impressive Great Success Stage [Martial Saint] Chuoluosi, yet no one was eligible to replace him.
The fates of a group of Green Seals were somewhat surprising.
Aside from the devoured [Green History Leaving a Name].
There were also [Food is Heaven], [Buddha’s Hand], [Great Sun Female Venerable], [Five Techniques of Civilian Control], [Calling a Deer a Horse], [Lady Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall], [Tent Master Bai], and Second Show—these eight Green Seals.
The Heaven God System’s [Food is Heaven] and [Tent Master Bai], even Qingtian’s [Buddha’s Hand], all followed to the Naiman camp.
The rest, including [Five Techniques of Civilian Control], [Calling a Deer a Horse], and [Lady Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall], surprisingly fell into the Great Yan camp.
In excruciating awkwardness, they had to side with Xie Tianke and Su Guyun, the very targets they were supposed to kill this time.
The main conflict to be resolved in this first round of battle was clearly—"national and personal vendettas."
Although these Strange Immortals were all turncoats, when it came down to the confrontation between the Naiman Five Divisions and Great Yan, they were automatically classified under the Great Yan camp.
After all, didn’t all their Knowledge before activation come from the Great Yan Civilization?
At this point, they were forced to grit their teeth and sincerely say:
"The Naiman must die!"
