"Yun Mu, we wish to surrender to the Great Han Dynasty!"
Yun Mu held the imperial crown with both hands, knelt on his knees, tears welling up in his eyes. His head was deeply bowed to the ground, unable to face the billions of subjects of the Great Yun Dynasty, nor his ancestors. The ten thousand-year foundation of the Great Yun Dynasty had been utterly destroyed in his hands.
"We wish to surrender!"
"We wish to surrender!"
"We wish to surrender!"
...
At that moment, the entire capital's populace was filled with sorrow, everyone kneeling with desolate faces!
On the nineteenth day of the fourth month of the second year of Great Han, Yun Mu, the Human Emperor of the Great Yun Dynasty, announced his abdication. Qi Jiguang, leading the thirty thousand strong Kui Niu Legion, peacefully took over the capital of the Great Yun Dynasty, as well as its northern and eastern territories.
That night, Qi Jiguang hosted a banquet for the royal bloodline of the Great Yun Dynasty and a host of civil and military officials. The banquet lasted for an hour, gradually winding down. Slices of blood stained the windows, and cries of agony, accompanying the collapse of the Great Yun Dynasty, vanished into the void.
The moment Yun Mu died, the fate of the entire Great Yun Dynasty dissipated into the void. Golden dragons let out mournful cries to the heavens, then transformed into blood mist that descended, shrouding the entire territory of the Great Yun Dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of Great Yun Dynasty soldiers on the battlefield of Cang Mu Dynasty felt lost. They were still fighting fiercely for their dynasty, only to have their mighty support quietly crumble. Their three generals, each at the first level of the Heaven Melting realm, walked out of the command tent with vacant eyes.
The Great Yun Dynasty had stood in the Southwest Region for over ten thousand years, enduring hardships and storms. Although it was not the strongest dynasty in the Southwest Region, it had made remarkable contributions to the human lands of the Southwest Region through countless holy wars!
Countless soldiers rushed out of the camp, running frantically across the war-torn land, wailing loudly. The iron-blooded soldiers were now like children, crying out in grief.
"Notify the entire army!"
"Retreat!"
The main general of Cang Mu Dynasty, leading his army, watched this sorrowful scene from ten miles away from the Great Yun Dynasty soldiers. The news that the Great Han's Kui Niu Legion had besieged the Great Yun Dynasty's capital had already spread far and wide. He had not expected the Great Han to be so powerful, dismantling the Great Yun Dynasty in less than three days.
With the collapse of the Great Yun Dynasty and the abdication of the Great Yun Human Emperor, the hundreds of thousands of Great Yun Dynasty soldiers, though of Great Yun blood, were no longer part of the Great Yun Dynasty. With the fall of Great Yun, they were no longer the Great Yun Dynasty's army, but ordinary subjects of the Great Han.
The main general of Cang Mu Dynasty sighed. The situation in Cang Mu Dynasty was already extremely precarious. He did not wish to incur such a powerful enemy for Cang Mu.
...
The Great Yun Dynasty crumbled, and its entire territory fell to the Great Han. The news sent shockwaves throughout the Southwest Region!
The Great Han Dynasty had declared war on four great dynasties. When the declaration of war was issued, it had made the top powers of the Southwest Region laugh, but they never expected the situation to change so dramatically within a month. A single dynasty was now pushing around the four great dynasties.
Now, the Great Yun Dynasty had collapsed first, and the Blood Sun Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. It was likely that it would follow in the footsteps of the Great Yun Dynasty and surrender to the Great Han!
For the past ten thousand years, the Southwest Region had been in a state of relative stability. The ten great dynasties occasionally clashed, but they mutually constrained each other. For ten thousand years, no new forces had risen, nor had any dynasty collapsed.
Until the emergence of the Great Han, this Great Han Dynasty, which had emerged by stepping on the shoulders of the Sacred Yuan Dynasty, had directly shattered the格局 of the Southwest Region. Now, through a series of wars, it was announcing the arrival of the era of a powerful Han.
...
In the imperial palace of Chang'an City, Great Han.
Yang Hao walked out of the Fengque Palace with a look of enjoyment. Wei Zhongxian, who was guarding the palace, quickly took a royal robe and draped it over Yang Hao's shoulders.
"Drive!"
Wei Zhongxian shouted loudly. Yang Hao, seated on the imperial carriage, closed his eyes, intending to savor the moment, when a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Qi Jiguang has led the Kui Niu Legion to occupy the capital of the Great Yun Dynasty, and the Great Yun Human Emperor has announced his abdication, surrendering the entire country to the Great Han!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining two hundred million Faith Points!"
"Ding! Warning to the host, half of the Faith Points will be automatically drawn to consolidate the national destiny, including the Nine Cauldrons, the Human King Tablet, and the Xuanyuan Sword, the supreme artifacts of the nation!"
"Ding! Warning to the host, remaining Faith Points: one hundred million!"
"Roar!!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
At that moment, the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny in the Great Han Ancestral Temple let out roars of dragons. A five-clawed golden destiny dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, soared into the sky, its roars echoing in all directions!
Within the territory of the Great Han, citizens joyfully looked up at the soaring destiny dragon in the void. Ever since the Great Han declared war on the four great dynasties, the destiny dragon had strengthened a little every few days. They were almost accustomed to it.
"Clear up the current data," Yang Hao said calmly, his expression as placid as water. The destruction of the Great Yun Dynasty was within his expectations.
"Ding! Host has a total of eighteen million Slaughter Points and two hundred million Faith Points!"
Yang Hao listened to the system's prompt. The last summoning had used rewards to summon Zhang Liao.
"System, exchange all Slaughter Points for Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted seventeen million Slaughter Points!"
"Ding! Successfully exchanged for one million seven hundred thousand strands of Reincarnation Power!"
Yang Hao closed his eyes, leaning back on the throne. The last time he used Reincarnation Power to summon Li Bai, who was at the peak Spiritual Venerable realm, it had consumed two hundred and seventy thousand strands of Reincarnation Power. Looking at the vast amount of Reincarnation Power, he wondered how much Reincarnation Power would be needed to summon a Heaven Melting realm ancient hero.
"System, how much Reincarnation Power is needed to summon a Heaven Melting realm hero?!"
"Ding! Warning to the host, summoning one hero at the first level of the Heaven Melting realm requires four hundred thousand Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! Does the host wish to summon!"
"Summon!"
One million seven hundred thousand strands of Reincarnation Power were enough to summon three Heaven Melting realm powerhouses!
"Ding! Successfully deducted four hundred thousand strands of Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! The system is beginning to summon!"
The Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda emitted waves of Dao sounds, its aura magnificent and its celestial sounds mysterious and ancient. The entire pagoda was still bathed in golden light, with waves of Dao sounds tightly surrounding it.
The first layer of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda was filled with golden light, and Dao sounds echoed in all directions. The Milky Way stretched out, and starlight flowed!
The river of time only flowed out points of starlight, not extending grandly outwards. Golden points of light swirled around the Spring and Autumn period!
At that moment, Dao sounds filled the air, like the roars of gods. A figure on the first layer of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda gradually appeared, emitting faint golden light.
As time flowed and stars clustered, banners unfurled and rolled. A carved human figure on the first layer of the pagoda suddenly shone with golden light!
A figure stepped out from the river of history!
The moment the figure stepped out, the carved human figure illuminated on the first layer of the pagoda instantly turned into points of starlight and directly merged into the fourth layer of the pagoda.
