In the Heavens

On the top of Loushan, the originally sunny sky suddenly became cloudy. It was as if something against the heavens was born, which angered the heavens, and thunder billowed directly from the sky, and the sound of thunder could be heard for hundreds of miles.

Li Mu, who was being struck by lightning, was also speechless at the moment. Isn't it just imitating the list of gods and refining a magic weapon, as for scaring him with thunder!

That's right, it's just a scare. The Thunder Rolling seems to be powerful, but in fact it shrinks quickly when it is struck.

If it wasn't for Tiandao's deliberate release of water, not only would the false list of gods be cold, but even Li Mu, the magic weapon refiner, would be smashed to pieces.

It seems that God's punishment came to the world, but in fact it was helping to complete the refining of the magic weapon, and even Li Mu followed suit with a lot of power of good fortune.

Received preferential treatment, Li Mu wanted to cry but had no tears. Master Tiandao's debts are not easy to owe. The more preferential treatment he enjoys now, the greater the price he will have to pay in the future.

But he still can't refuse. If you don't accept the divine thunder of good fortune, you have to face the divine thunder of punishment. Li Mu is not a person who refuses to eat a toast and eat fine wine.

Such is life. Since you can't resist it, just enjoy it. This kind of treatment is beyond the reach of countless people.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Li Mu's hanging heart slowly eased as he watched the list of gods gradually taking shape in front of him.

Although it is far from the list of gods in myths and legends, it is enough in this world.

When the Supreme Treasure of the Divine Dao was born, the originally quiet luck of the Divine Dao began to boil, and Li Mu, who occupied the most authority of the Divine Dao, naturally became the biggest beneficiary.

The originally obscure laws of heaven and earth were directly revealed in front of him at this moment, as if they were within reach.

But Li Mu knew very well that this was just an illusion. The power of the law is all-encompassing, so how could he, a primordial warrior, be able to comprehend all of it?

If it weren't for the laws of this world to be exposed, let alone a warrior of the primordial spirit, even a strong immortal god would never be able to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

No matter how exposed, everyone can only understand a little bit. If one can fully comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, it is really not a dream to live the same life as heaven and earth.

While Li Mu's imagination was running wild, the situation in the world also changed drastically. Under the command of the avatar, the army of the Northern Expedition swept through thousands of troops and was equal to everything.

The four northern lords were very slow at this time. Everyone had already talked about it, and they gave up the dispute for the time being.

There is evidence that Li Xuan, the king of Liang, colluded with the king of Southwest, which aroused the anger of the three princes. Regardless of the Northern Expeditionary Army, catching traitors is a matter of beating them hard.

The tragic Liang Wang Li Xuan didn't know what was going on from the beginning to the end. You must know that in order to keep the foundation, he even rejected the family's proposal for peace talks, and was ready to give it a go.

It was a good plan, but something happened just after it was implemented. The pig teammates recognized him as a traitor, and they would fight him with their lives as soon as they came over.

With one against three, the result is naturally self-evident. Caught off guard, Li Xuan's conquering army was directly killed in pieces.

The army that worked so hard was gone. If it wasn't for running fast, they would have almost lost their lives.

After fleeing all the way back to Guangliangzhou, before Li Xuan could catch his breath, he received the news of the defeat of the three princes.

"It's over!"

"It's all over!"

...

Sitting down on the ground, Li Xuan's last trace of fighting spirit was also tossed away.

If you lose to the enemy on the battlefield, then that's all. From the day he set foot on the chaotic world to fight for the dragon, he had such mental preparations.

But in this muddle-headed war, both sides were killed by a group of allies without a decisive battle. This made the proud Li Xuan really unacceptable.

Glancing at the decadent King Liang, the prime minister who came over to inquire boldly stepped forward to persuade him, "The prince's affairs have come to an end, prepare for the way out!"

Saying this is not only for Li Xuan, but also for himself. At this point, the unification of the world has become a foregone conclusion.

If you continue to go against the trend, you will only lose your life in vain. If it wasn't for the tight bondage and his high status in the Prince Liang clan, the middle-aged prime minister would have wanted to quit and run away.

In his opinion, the current situation is not too bad. At any rate, the victors are also from the Li family, and everyone is somewhat in love with each other.

Going to the past at this time, although it can't catch up with Conglong's achievements, at least it can avoid liquidation, and it won't be killed.

The benefactor can save a little life, and those of them who are subordinates can also change masters with peace of mind and continue to mess around in the court. There is no need to bear the infamy of betraying the Lord.

"late!"

"It's too late!"

"If we had defected to the past two months ago, we would naturally have fought for a decent ending and won the position of one of the princes.

But not now. Earlier, I rejected the family's mediation and chose to be the enemy of Li Mu, and I have offended him to death.

We lost so quickly this time, and the princes of the three routes all thought we were traitors, don't you think it's strange?

..."

After hearing Li Xuan's words, the middle-aged prime minister's expression changed drastically. In the past, he just scolded the pig teammates for being stupid, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he realizes that things are not that simple.

As Qianlong who was supported by the Li family, Li Xuan's army was filled with a large number of members of the Li clan, occupying most of the important positions.

It was nothing at all, everyone just played like this. In a high-risk business like fighting for a dragon in troubled times, the family members must be more reliable than outsiders.

But one day, when the interests of him, King Liang, went against the interests of the family, everything changed.

Even if it is the son of the Patriarch, if he stands on the opposite side of the family's interests, he will still be reduced to an abandoned son.

It's normal for your own family to stab a knife in the back, and allies have misunderstandings. It is obviously too late to discover the problem now.

Things have come to this point, and without the intervention of high-end forces, the outcome of this troubled world has been decided.

The question is, do any high-end forces dare to intervene now?

A powerful family is not an uninformed master. They have not forgotten the lessons learned by the Overseas Immortal Sect Alliance.

The Yangshen cultivator went the wrong way, strayed into the ghost realm of the nether world and suffered disasters, such a nonsense thing, who would dare to believe it was true?

If you look through the classics, you will know that this is obviously against the general trend, and it was robbed under the influence of cause and effect.

The big forces of the same level have all ended up like this, and no one dares to take it lightly.

If the battle for the dragon fails, everyone is still preparing for a way out. It's not difficult to get out, and it's simply impossible to beat the general trend in the past.

The general situation is over, Li Xuan can break the pot, but it doesn't mean that his subordinates can do the same.

In this dragon battle, the Li family is still the winner. Anyway, Li Xuan is also the son of the head of the family.

Even if he didn't go to the past according to the family's request, he didn't really meet each other on the battlefield, and he didn't form a deadly feud with the Southwest King.

Even the battle with the three princes in the middle of the road may have been planned by his father to help his son deal with the aftermath.

It doesn't matter how decadent Li Xuan is now, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to die, there is no problem in getting his life back.

But for all the forces supporting Li Xuan, this wave is purely a blood loss. Fighting against the wrong team in troubled times is very cruel.

Now that the general trend is set, it is difficult to jump ship and stop losses. The only way is to rush over before the enemy kills him, and avoid the knife at the door first.

To do this, Li Xuan must cooperate. Otherwise, they went to the past alone, who knows who they are?

"My lord, you must never give up on yourself. Although you lost in the chaotic world, the battle for dragons still has a long way to go! Even if you don't consider other things, there are still a lot of little princes..."

As if realizing that his words were too explicit, the old man who spoke resolutely chose to shut up. There are some things that are enough to be known, but it will offend people to say them out.

...

Similar scenes are also happening in other regions. In the face of catastrophe, they fly separately. At the juncture of life and death, loyalty has become worthless.

The general situation is over, and in order to save their lives, all the bureaucrats are encouraging their bosses to surrender.

It's not that there are no resistance factions, but the problem is that the situation on the battlefield changes too fast, making it impossible for them to come up with a substantial resistance strategy.

Surrender, by comparison, is much simpler. Just ask the boss to take the lead, fight for the treatment, and just give the site away.

On this issue, the ancient and modern Dragon Wars are the same. The more obvious the advantage, the more advanced it is, the smoother the pace of expansion.

Those who choose to fight to the end will always be a minority. For their own benefit, the bureaucrats can't care about the embarrassing situation faced by their boss after the surrender.

...

The spring breeze is blowing, awakening the vitality of the earth. Bathed in the spring breeze, standing in front of the rubble, looking at the ruins in front of him, Li Mu shook his head.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the ruins in front of him were the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which used to be the number one city in the world.

Even the Wannian Empire cannot avoid the fate of destruction. The worldly glory and wealth are so insignificant in front of the years.

The imperial capital is just a microcosm of this changing situation. There are many others buried together with the Great Zhou Empire.

"The past is only to be remembered."

Thinking about the stupid things that the ancient emperor did, Li Mu directly dismissed the idea of ​​restoring the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now that it has been destroyed, let this ancient city sleep with history. Forcibly waking up will only embarrass everyone.

The vanguard of the crusade army swept all directions, and the distance from the unification of the world was getting closer and closer, and Li Mu received more and more attention from the outside world.

Whether it is setting the capital, proclaiming the emperor, or making heroes, it is all things that attract the attention of the world. Everyone was looking forward to it, only Li Mu, the person involved, was not in a hurry.

In fact, Li Mu was also very anxious. But what is urgent is not to proclaim the emperor, but to establish the heavenly court. Even though he had refined the list of gods, he still had no clue.

The most practical question is that there must be civil and military officials to establish a heavenly court, right? Mountain God, Land, He Bo, City God, these most common gods, must be filled, right?

This is not something that any cat or dog can do. You must have enough virtue and strength to be able to perform your duties as a god.

Unlike secular bureaucrats, if they don't do well, they just change. In an institution like the Heavenly Court, it takes tens of thousands of years to sit on the throne of God. If virtue is not enough, there will be great trouble.

Once a big change happened, he, the future Emperor of Heaven, could be the first to be unlucky.

In addition to the hundreds of officials who perform the duties of heaven and earth, there must also be a heavenly soldier and general who can conquer the four directions.

You don't need to look at the secular army, it's too unreasonable. According to Li Mu's thinking, since the heavenly court is established, the heavenly soldiers and generals must at least start with the golden core.

It can't be any lower, if the strength is weaker, it will lose its meaning. Not only can it not frighten the Quartet, but maybe one day the secular dynasty will give him a human emperor to defeat the sky.

Although I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, there are endless incidents of the emperor's defeating the sky in myths and legends.

In the final analysis, the Heavenly Court is still not strong enough, so that the people below think: I can do it myself, why should I listen to you?

Now that the new dynasty is in full swing, its prestige is certainly shaking the world. But in terms of masters, there are really not many under Li Mu's command.

Most of the direct descendants cultivated stay in the acquired state, and there are very few innate warriors.

Except for a few direct descendants, most of them came from all corners of the country. Follow him to fight the world, it is for wealth and honor, and loyalty is also based on this.

If he really went to Li Tianting, it is estimated that most of the people who support him now will choose to wait and see, or betray.

For no other reason, no one in the various forces in the world wants a sharp sword hanging above their heads. Once the Heavenly Court appears, the happy days of all forces will be gone.

...

There are so many conditions that cannot be met. The establishment of the heavenly court had to be postponed. It is better to stand up later than to lose your composure as soon as you come up, and put yourself in a situation where you are surrounded by enemies.

"My lord, someone from a powerful family is here."

The maid's voice pulled Li Mu out of his contemplation. After adjusting his thoughts, Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Bring them here!"

Strength determines one's status. As the quasi-world lord, Li Mu no longer needs to be inferior to anyone.

In recent years, the powerful family has also been greatly weakened. Fighting the dragon in troubled times still consumes a lot of money, and in order to support Qianlong, each family did not lose a lot of blood.

What's worse is that Qianlong supported by a lot of money all ended in failure. In order to reduce losses, they had to come out to deal with the aftermath in person.

If it's just these, even a powerful family with a big business can support it. But recently, the long-silent "Ancient Eternal Emperor" has become active again, and he is still targeting them specifically.

A strong person at the Yuanshen level is not a Chinese cabbage. Losing one is heartbreaking, and it makes the masters of various families dare not go out alone, lest they encounter doom.

The four big clans were just unlucky for the three families, making them mistakenly think that it was the backlash caused by the failure to fight for the dragon. In order to reverse the situation, they had to put down their airs and jumped out to support Li Mu's proclaiming emperor.

I don't expect to get much benefit, as long as the luck of the dynasty is restored, it is enough to suppress any abnormality in the ancient universe.

Otherwise, if it continues as it is now, and is stared at by a ghost and immortal, no matter how big the family business is, it will be wiped out in a short time.
