Chapter 597: 2 Great Empires, the Beginning of the War of Nations
As time passed, Lingyunxian Dynasty entered a period of rapid development.
The court was clean and orderly, government affairs were well managed, and talents were recruited externally, based on their merits. A large amount of resources were transported to the country from all directions.
With the support of Shi Hao and others, Lingyun, the originally weak fairyland, began to prosper.
The ones who felt it the most deeply were the grassroots monks and people of Lingyun. They could feel most clearly that their country was changing with each passing day, their own lives were gradually getting better, and their sense of belonging to this country was growing stronger.
They knew that all this was due to the efforts of the mysterious six supreme beings, so more and more cultivators set up merit plaques for the six supreme beings including Shi Hao, and burned incense to worship them every day.
It can be said that they have won the hearts of the people. As long as Shi Hao and others raise their arms and call for action, the whole world will surely respond!
Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species? On the contrary... that's not right!
The Lingyun Immortal Dynasty was originally under control, and the Lingyun Empress Ouyang Ning had already defected. She was one of our own. Isn't this the case of us rebelling against ourselves?
Several major immortal dynasties near the Wuzang Immortal Sea have all noticed the newly rising Lingyun Immortal Dynasty. They have sent envoys to express their goodwill, and the situation here is still peaceful for the time being.
Compared with here, the situation in the entire Qinghan Xianzhou seems extremely turbulent.
The two empires that control Qinghan have been in constant friction for some time, and the conflicts have intensified. There is a risk of the war expanding at any time. The cloud of war has shrouded the entire Qinghan Xianzhou for a while.
The two empires are: Kingdom of Light and Empire of Eternal Night. (Classification of Immortal Dynasties: The one with the power of Immortal King is Dynasty, the one with the power of Immortal Emperor is Imperial Dynasty, the one with the power of Heavenly Source Immortal Venerable is Celestial Dynasty, and the one with the power of God Lord is Kingdom of God or Empire)
These two empires control the vast majority of Qinghan’s resources, land, and population. All other countries must take sides if they want to exist and develop.
Including the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty, Lingyun’s apparent overlord is the Kingdom of Light, and every year Lingyun has to pay a large amount of tribute to obtain protection.
In the central area of Qinghan Xianzhou, the Kingdom of Light is located.
The Kingdom of Light owns 888 immortal cities and its territory is vast. There are many powerful people and geniuses in the country, and there are more than tens of millions of soldiers!
It controls tens of thousands of immortal kingdoms, large and small, and has outstanding comprehensive strength, and has well-deservedly won the reputation of the First Empire of Qinghan.
"Those slaves of the Eternal Night Empire are so bold and reckless! How dare they repeatedly become enemies of our Kingdom of Light!"
"Yes! These horse-raising slaves! Criminals! Bandits! They all deserve to die! And those immortal dynasties who surrendered to them are corrupt and degenerate!"
"They betrayed justice and light! They will be judged in the end. When the troops of my Kingdom of God arrive, they will be wiped out!"
In the court of the Bright Palace in the Divine Capital of Light, many civil and military ministers submitted memorials filled with righteous indignation, requesting a formal declaration of war against the Eternal Night Empire.
You must know that once the war officially breaks out, it will affect the entire Qinghan Immortal State, and tens of thousands of immortal countries and billions of living beings will be involved in the war.
However, these high-ranking ministers would not consider so much. In their eyes, those people in the Eternal Night Empire were all poor rats in the darkness who deserved to be trampled underfoot. They should not resist, and they should not be enemies of their own kingdom of God.
In fact, it’s no wonder they think so. The rise of the Eternal Night Empire is simply legendary!
The Eternal Night Empire is located in the desolate and barren northern territory of Qinghan Fairyland. The Kingdom of Light looks down on such a place. It has always been the place where they exiled criminals and slaves. It is a chaotic place without any order.
Who would have thought that there would be such a legendary figure as the Lord of Eternal Night? Tens of millions of years ago, he unified the entire northern territory and established the Empire of Eternal Night. After tens of millions of years of vigorous development, he was able to compete with his own Kingdom of God.
After that, the Eternal Night Empire embarked on a path of large-scale expansion. The snowball kept getting bigger and bigger, and the number of immortal dynasties that defected to it reached tens of thousands.
"My Lord, you are right. I also suggest that we send troops to the Eternal Night Empire. If we allow them to continue to develop, it will be a nightmare for the entire Qinghan Immortal State. As the first empire supported by the people of Qinghan, our Kingdom of Light has the responsibility to eradicate this cancer!"
Another old minister of the Kingdom of Light stood up. As a veteran of the previous dynasty, he still had some say in the court.
After listening to all the ministers' reports, the Lord of Light, who had been silent on the main seat, looked down at the whole audience and spoke majestically, "I have not declared war on Yongye because I do not want to start a large-scale war that would cause great suffering to the people of Qinghan Xianzhou."
"Humph! Who would have thought that Yongye and his people would not repent and repeatedly invade the borders of our Kingdom of Light!"
"This emperor has decided to officially declare war on the Eternal Night Empire in three days. I will mobilize tens of thousands of subordinate immortal nations and send out 100 million soldiers. This battle will decide the outcome!"
The words of the Lord of Light made the entire court boil!
Some shouted that the Lord God was merciful, some shouted that He was wise, and all the civil and military officials were extremely excited. They seemed to have seen the scene after their own Kingdom of Light destroyed the Eternal Night Empire and unified Qinghan.
Unify Qinghan! This is something that many empires throughout history have not been able to do. After destroying the Eternal Night, the prestige and strength of the Kingdom of Light will increase again, and by then they will be able to truly control the entire Qinghan Immortal State!
After the decision to go to war, the next step was to discuss some details, and the court was once again filled with discussions.
"The eastern border is a place that must be fought for. After the war begins, the Eternal Night Empire will definitely deploy troops on the eastern border and try to cross the Wuzang Immortal Sea to the east to fight us."
"And none of our vassal states over there are very strong. They will probably fall in the first place. So I suggest that we notify all the countries over there to prepare now and send large quantities of strategic materials over there."
After the old minister finished speaking, a minister wearing a scarlet official robe beside him suddenly remembered something, and immediately stood up and bowed to the main seat and said, "Lord God! Speaking of the Wuzang Immortal Sea, I have the latest news from there."
"One of our vassal states over there, Lingyun Immortal Dynasty, has changed. The three major families that originally controlled the court have all been killed. Now it is the Lingyun Empress who is in charge of the government. During this period, Lingyun Immortal Dynasty has developed rapidly, and it can almost be described as changing with each passing day."
After the minister finished speaking, the civil and military officials present, including the Lord of Light, were a little puzzled. Lingyun Immortal Dynasty? Did they have such a vassal state?
Well... there are simply too many vassal states. Who can remember all those small countries?
Is it worth bringing such a weak and remote dynasty to the court? How far can a small dynasty develop?
"Sir Fu, let me interrupt you first. What level of immortal dynasty is this Lingyun Immortal Dynasty?" The old minister who had just made a report stood up and interrupted.
