Chapter 1037: Chapter 689 Task Goal Update

Many people of the Chenhai Empire, still asleep, were unaware.

In this meeting, their nation had already ceased to exist... or rather, the nation had continued in another form.

The historians of the original Chenhai Empire, in an effort to sever ties completely with Great Tang, fabricated a detailed false history, leading future generations to believe they were descendants of the Chenhai Dynasty centuries ago.

But tonight, their home doors were violently kicked down by armored warriors. They were then lifted and rushed to the palace.

Faced with a new task, they were to disguise and erase all traces of the existence of the Chenhai Empire. The historians, anguished, burned every meticulously written historical record to ashes.

They had no choice, for the armored warriors could no longer bear the words ’Second Empire’ or ’Chenhai Empire.’

The last unfortunate soul who uttered these words had been thrown into the Heavenly Prison.

What Second Empire? What Chenhai Empire? I don’t know, all we have here is the Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate.

So the historians had to grit their teeth and rewrite history.

Thirty years ago, the Great Tang Expeditionary Army, passing through the Teleportation Gate, lost a massive number of soldiers, and their communication and transportation equipment were destroyed by the followers of the Evil God.

This was a conspiracy by the Chaos Evil God against the Great Tang, causing the Seventh Expedition Group Army of the Great Tang to be stranded on the Chenhai Continent, unable to leave.

Fortunately, General Li Ba of the Great Tang Tian Ce, arrived at the Chenhai Continent, leading the expeditionary forces in establishing the Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate and appointing himself as the Jiedu Envoy.

In fact, there were many loopholes in this story.

Firstly, in this world, the span of time was the same as in Great Tang; Li Changhe was not yet a Tian Ce General 30 years ago, nor would he have appeared on the Chenhai Continent.

Secondly, before General Li Ba showed up, the expeditionary forces had evidently engaged in some conduct contrary to the interests of Great Tang.

But even with knowledge of these loopholes, the people of Great Tang would turn a blind eye on account of Li Changhe’s presence, pinching their noses and accepting it.

Because regardless of the truth, the Tian Ce General indeed was the supreme leader of this Great Tang territory.

And the Tian Ce General was among the most prestigious positions within Great Tang, also the highest rank in the armored warrior Sequence.

He carved out a refuge for the expeditionary forces and expanded the territory of Great Tang; who would dare speak against that? It was his rightful power.

Thus, the most powerful empire on the Chenhai Continent was overnight transformed into the so-called Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate.

Meanwhile, in an inn at Xuan City.

Having finished the call, Li Changhe became one of the most powerful people in this world.

And at this moment, this powerful general was wincing in pain from a wound on his mouth.

Luckily, the communication had ended.

To the former high-level officials of Chenhai, Li Changhe, wearing the Azure Flame mask and donned in Mountain Pattern Armor, seated upon the Bronze Throne, appeared imposing and mysterious.

Even the battle-hardened Zhang Liang and Hou Junji were utterly suppressed by his aura.

They probably had no idea that during the serious negotiations just now, those on Li Changhe’s side all had panda eyes.

Li Changhe himself suffered a severe lip injury, bitten fiercely by a jealous girl, so much so that he deliberately slowed his speech to avoid agitating the wound.

Of course, from the perspective of the others, this was the tone of someone confidently holding all the cards.

"The Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate... so this was the general’s plan," Yang Ming and Wu Jie, after confirming the communication had ended, finally removed their helmets, revealing their bruised faces.

"General, will this truly be effective?"

"The same deed performed by different people of different statuses yields different outcomes," Li Changhe explained. "As generals of Great Tang, abandoning the mission, destroying the means of contact, and declaring themselves kings would naturally not be overlooked by Great Tang. But by establishing a protectorate in the name of Great Tang, it is like seizing territory for Great Tang. Only it’s far away, an exclave."

Just as Li Changhe said, he now didn’t want to know whether the great fire and the anomalies during the passage through the Teleportation Gate were the doings of the Evil God or the plot of Zhang Liang and his cohort.

Now, he simply assumed it was the scheming of the Evil God. Whether it was true or not, he would shift all the blame onto the Evil God.

And having seen through the Evil God’s plan, he had established the Protectorate. He was the Jiedu Envoy of that Protectorate.

As for whether the people of the Great Tang would believe it or not, let them come and ask him.

Of course, the Great Tang would eventually find clues because it’s hard to erase the traces of something that once existed.

However, by that time, they wouldn’t lay a hand on anyone other than Zhang Liang and Hou Junji.

Because those were already Li Changhe’s subordinates.

As for whether Zhang Liang and Hou Junji were dead or alive... it all depended on what Li Er thought.

Li Changhe was quite suspicious that Li Er had foreseen this outcome long ago.

After all, it was Li Er who specifically arranged for Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, and he might have even predicted that they would rebel. Just like he predicted that many battle groups would join Chaos during the third Different Race war.

"If he has calculated up to this step, then he truly is cunning," Li Changhe thought to himself.

Afterward, Li Changhe instructed Wu Jie and the others to take good care of the injuries on their faces and to wait within Xuan City for the main force of the Expeditionary Army to assemble.

Then he returned to his own room.

In the room, Xiao Nan, Chen Yu, and Qiu Wentian were discussing strategies. Seeing Li Changhe enter covering his mouth, with his ears somewhat red.

If you’re going to be shy, then don’t bite so hard! Li Changhe complained inwardly.

After Li Changhe’s contact with the insect god, the players’ tasks had been updated.

[Task Objective: Stop the grand ceremony of Xuan City from taking place, destroy the golden statue of the Lord of Xuan City in the Inner City]

This task seemed not difficult, and it did not specifically require the players to defeat the queen and topple Xuan City. It was merely about destroying a certain golden statue.

But considering the identity of the opponent, it was not a simple job.

According to the insect god’s words, the true Lord of Xuan City is actually a Divinity of inheritance.

It is composed of the faith of humanity that has sought refuge in Xuan City over the past century, a Divine Existence without self-awareness.

Every queen of Xuan City is the master of the Lord of Xuan City’s strength.

In fact, the Lord of Xuan City can be seen as the Elf Divine Tree, while each queen can be viewed as a ’Guardian of the Divine Tree’ similar to Xiao Ye.

To become the queen of Xuan City is to be able to utilize the strength of the Lord of Xuan City.

Actually, the power of the Lord of Xuan City is not very strong. But the trouble is, It resides in the Inner City of Xuan City, which is Its Divine Country. Within the Divine Country, Its capabilities are greatly enhanced.

The severely injured insect god did not notice this point right away, so after the confrontation with the Lord of Xuan City, both ended up in a mutually devouring and merging state.

As a result, the Divinity of both parties underwent changes.

This wouldn’t have been a problem, as the insect god might not have won, but at least it could slowly recover.

But the mechanism of the Lord of Xuan City

allowed the queen of Xuan City to gain newfound strength, which includes the insect god’s Divinity.

Using this, she suppressed the insect god and even began to seize the insect god’s power in return.

That golden statue was the source from which the queen of Xuan City controlled everything.

This significantly increased the difficulty.
