Chapter 72: Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne

【Three thousand Taiyi Golden Immortals, this is already more than the Taiyi of the Dragon Clan during its heyday. In other words, compared with the ancient dragon clan, you are now only lacking a group of top-level strongmen. The number of the rest of the middle and lower levels and the size of their territories have reached or even surpassed that of the dragon clan!】

[But since you have already made up your mind to fight violence with violence and use force to defeat the opposition represented by the Sun Star Lord, then three thousand Taiyi Golden Immortals are not enough.]

[Three thousand Daluo, you dare not think about it. After all, Daluo Jinxian talent, understanding, and opportunity are all indispensable, and it takes hundreds of Yuanhui to accumulate before it is possible to achieve. The number of genuine Daluo Jinxians with names and surnames in the entire prehistoric world from ancient times to the present is probably only this number...]

[But you must have at least a hundred Daluo no matter what, because your opponents are about the same number, or even more! ]

[So you are not satisfied and continue to cram...]

[But you soon discovered that if the transition from Jinxian to Taiyi is still possible when all conditions are met, then it is not realistic to catalyze Taiyi to Daluo.]

[After two rounds of cramming, after a whole epoch, the progress of the elites of the human race is pitifully small. They are still a long way from the middle stage of Taiyi, and even farther from Daluo. It will take at least nearly a hundred epochs for someone to break through...]

[You realize this belatedly: If cramming is useful, wouldn't the saints have printed and distributed Daluo Jinxian in batches long ago? ]

[Among the saint's disciples, the strongest ones are Guangchengzi, Duobao and a few other Daluo Jinxians. If forced catalysis was useful, the current situation would definitely not be the case.]

[After figuring out this truth, your wholesale plan for Daluo will fall apart halfway...]

[But it doesn’t matter, you are the chief of the human race, so you have a great advantage: merit! ]

[Although most of the merits are on me, other humans don't have that much, but merits can be continuously earned.]

[You directly selected one hundred people with the highest cultivation from the three thousand Taiyi Golden Immortals, and then appointed them as the front-line pioneers responsible for the core area of ​​the human race in Shouyang Mountain, and do their best to provide various assistance to the human race.]

[I think with this method, the time it takes for these one hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals to ascend to Daluo will be greatly shortened...]

[After completing these long-term arrangements to strengthen the top level of Shouyang Mountain, you were finally able to turn around and start focusing on dealing with the dragon revival issue that troubled Xuandu last time.]

[You directly launched a rectification campaign, publicly exposing the nature of the old dragon clan's oppression to the public, allowing the people to spontaneously resist. ]

[Then he would start to clean up Ao Guang and his faction, forcing Ao Guang to cut ties with the old dragon clan. Then he would promote Ao Guang personally, suppress the remnants of the old dragon clan, punish the guilty, educate the innocent, divide, attack, and create internal friction and disputes...]

[In no time, the dragon clan problem that troubled Xuandu was basically resolved, and only a group of diehard old people and young people were left. Let time change the stubborn ideas of these people.]

[Facts have proven that, with the old dragon race already destroyed, if Xuandu had used tougher tactics and more maneuvering at the beginning, it would not have caused a bigger conflict.]

[So, Xuandu still needs to be taught! He still needs to be beaten! He needs to be taught harshly!]

【Xuan Du: ……】

[Having solved the problem of training high-level forces and cracked down on internal problems, Shouyang Mountain, which has been in great order for a while, can finally expand again! ]

[In the third period of the second cycle of the 370th year of the demon calendar, under the personal leadership of the great chieftain Jin Bing of the human race, Shouyang Mountain, which had been settled for a whole cycle, began to send out a large number of pioneers.]

[It is still the tried and tested combination of punches: assistance, reporting, succession to the chief. Although simple, it is very useful! ]

[The pioneers expanded from the East Wasteland to the North, South Wasteland and Central Province. Most of the time, three moves would be enough. However, not all tribal chiefs are corrupt. In addition, many chiefs were reminded by the "anti-confinement" incident and forced to change their ways, which greatly affected your expansion plan.]

[But you did not feel disappointed. Instead, you continued to send out a large number of pioneers to infiltrate other states frantically. Every time you arrived at a new tribe, you did your best to help the poor and eliminate illiteracy.]

[The pioneers will do what the local chiefs have not done, and the pioneers will do better than the chiefs have done! ]

【Roll up! 】

[Chiefs: You roll your @#*#@! ]

[As the story unfolds, the chiefs gradually become unable to hold on, and their prestige and value are gradually replaced by the more outstanding and more ambitious human pioneers...]

[At the end of the volume, the chiefs started to fight directly, either shutting themselves in and pretending to be blind, or directly resigning from the Heavenly Court, and the plan to seize the land of Shouyang Mountain gradually took effect. ]

[Of course, there were also some chieftains who thought they had high cultivation and launched attacks on the human vanguard in anger, attempting to defend their own territory with force.] [But this would only bring severe retaliation from Shouyang Mountain. Nearly three thousand Taiyi Golden Immortals were ready to fight at any time. How could a group of local chieftains possibly defeat you? In the end, they could only lose all their territory...]

[Just like that, the territory you have taken over is getting bigger and bigger, and is gradually covering the entire world! ]

[But you have always maintained your unparalleled loyalty to the Heavenly Court, and have never shown any signs of disloyalty. Every time a human pioneer became a local chief, you would personally go to the Heavenly Court to register and be entered into the immortal register.]

[You hold great power, but you never seek personal gain. After so many years, you are still a pitiful little immortal. You have devoted yourself to the billions of monsters in the prehistoric world, and you are almost dead. Many officials in the heavenly court were moved to tears by you: We are ashamed to have such a loyal person...]

[But even so, you still have a heavy heart, because you have given up the simple method of seizing power by popular support, and have turned to the method of seizing power by popular support and force. If you want to secure your position as the Emperor of Heaven, the opposition led by the Sun Star Lord must be ruthlessly defeated! ]

【But, what is your reason for declaring war on them? 】

[This question is very important. If you start a war rashly, regardless of whether you can win or not, you will not be able to pass the moral test. Once the war starts, you will be labeled as a traitor, and all the public support you have accumulated before will be lost...]

[In short, we must not take the initiative! ]

[You are so depressed every day because of this, and when you are in a bad mood, you start to scold Xuandu.]

【Xuan Du: ……】

【Day after day, year after year. 】

[One luck, one meeting, one yuan...]

[After three full epochs, you finally took over the power of the grassroots in the four wastelands and four seas with your unspeakable loyalty! ]

[But even so, the opportunity you've been waiting for has yet to come...]

[You really want to complain to my face: What? Are you really just waiting for me to take over the management of the prehistoric world? You are too generous, why weren’t you so generous in the previous branch? ! ! ]

[And just when you almost couldn't hold it anymore, an unexpected but reasonable opportunity finally appeared! ]

[One day, Xuandu timidly brought a joint letter, which was written by veteran pioneer chiefs from all over the country. In the letter, they complained that they had made great contributions, but the Heavenly Court had no intention of promoting them.]

[Why are we so competitive? We just want a promotion! Now we are almost dying, why are the rewards from the higher-ups gone?! ]

[This letter is to ask for your reward! ]

[When you received the letter, you were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: Didn’t the Heavenly Court fight back against Shouyang Mountain? In fact, it has always been fighting back! ]

[Suppressing merit and not giving promotion is the most malicious countermeasure, but I just haven't reacted to it yet...]

[So... isn't this the excuse? ]

[You were delighted at first, but then you were furious and slammed the table hard.]

[“The Heavenly Court has accumulated merits but has not been promoted. This cannot be the work of the wise and enlightened Heavenly Emperor. It must be the result of treacherous people deceiving His Majesty and spreading slander!”]

[The time has come, let’s start the war today!!!]

[In the 373rd year of the Demonic Calendar, the great chief of the Shouyang Mountain tribe, Jin Bing, launched a large-scale anti-Heaven war in the name of "clearing the emperor's side" to eradicate the treacherous villains around the Emperor of Heaven! ]

[The war is about to break out. 】
