Chapter 440: Chapter 23: The Mysterious Generation
“Zhong” in Stargazing Valley’s ancestral lands had calculated the appearance of an unexpected person. Thus, in the face of insufficient strength to oppose, he supported and exchanged in his own way—Yue’s escape was probably one of the conditions.
Otherwise, Stargazing Valley would have been annihilated, and it would have been nearly impossible for Yue to escape alone with detailed knowledge of the situation.
Yue believed Wang Sheng held more promise, therefore he entrusted everything he knew.
If direct confrontation were possible, no one would want to make the final choice.
Escape was simply the only solution conceived in despair, with no certainty of success.
Wang Sheng did not respond to these words.
Having already faced individuals from other worlds and exposed to some extent by the existence of the Spirit’s Eye, confrontation was essentially his only choice.
Without needing Yue’s input, he had no other options.
Compared to this situation, he was more concerned about how the people from thousands of years ago had discovered the impending invasion from other worlds.
Could this method be utilized?
“Do you know how the ancestors knew about the invasion from other worlds before the Destiny Dynasty was established?”
After hearing this question, Yue paused and then said, “The tradition of Stargazing Valley only emerged after the establishment of the Destiny Dynasty. Many records were lost due to the failure to resist the Destiny Dynasty, but a legend persisted, which claims the discoverer of the world invasion was called the ‘Apocalypse,’ all of which was a revelation from heaven.”
“A revelation from heaven, heaven informed the ancestors about the invasion from other worlds?”
Yue nodded.
“There were Apocalypses from both the Spirit Clan and Human Race. According to the original plan, we should not have feared, but the Destiny Dynasty…”
The emergence of the Destiny Dynasty led everything to a desperate situation.
The ancient ancestors of the Spirit Clan could only attempt to break the situation using the most extreme methods they had once used for resistance, and still, they ultimately failed.
That day, if Wang Sheng had not arrived, they would have ultimately perished at the hands of Jiang Yun, under the so-called Heavenly Demon True Monarch.
“Is that all?”
“There’s another saying, but even in Stargazing Valley, we cannot confirm it; that is, the invasion from other worlds is unavoidable, we can only face it head-on, and even our own world might have to invade other worlds under certain circumstances.”
“No way to avoid it?”
“Yes, rather than calling it an invasion, it’s more like the confrontation between two worlds, just our world had issues.”
“So, there was no room for easing the tension from the beginning?”
“Yes, even if we delay, the confrontation is inevitable. Of course, this statement hasn’t been confirmed and was only circulated among some powerful beings in the past without validation—several Apocalypses died soon after.”
The loss from resisting the Destiny Dynasty was greater than imagined, and the deaths of the Apocalypses halted certain legacies.
Wang Sheng did not inquire further on this topic.
He had pretty much clarified what he wanted to know.
Only one question remained.
“Border Army, how exactly did they manage to get all the dynasties to agree to send food?”
Faced with this question, Yue shook his head.
“I’m not clear about this. I only know that this was part of the fallback plan left by the group who established the Border Army. How they exactly did it wasn’t recorded, but the first commander, Qi, was said to have been critically hit, and it seems that was the opportunity.”
The events of the past were too distant, and what exactly happened was no longer clear.
“But they left this!”
Saying so, Yue produced a seemingly ordinary piece of fabric that looked very new.
“According to the Valley Master, this is the only thing left from before the Destiny Dynasty; the establishment of the Border Army also involved this object.”
Yue handed the fabric to Wang Sheng.
He had obviously made the decision before coming.
Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate and took the fabric.
Upon contact with his Divine Thought, he instinctively felt that this object was not simple, but he also couldn’t discern its intricacies at the moment.
“This object I leave to you, ancestor. It’s of no use in my hands.”
In fact, not only in his possession, even after being inherited through Stargazing Valley for so long, nothing had been discovered.
Handing it to this unknown powerful being might be a good choice.
Wang Sheng stored the fabric, naturally needing to keep it, as it might reveal some truths from thousands of years ago.
The initial people may not have been as powerful as now, but they were incredibly mysterious.
Being able to set this up for so long was no longer just a matter of strength.
After handing over the item, Yang obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Such things, if one lacks the power to keep it, were inherently a burden.
Before meeting Wang Sheng, he had been thinking about what to do.
“Senior, I have said all that needs to be said. Is there anything else you need me to do?”
Wang Sheng was extremely pleased with the information he had received today.
Next, it was time to initiate the real plan.
He looked at Tu Hong and asked, “Huangtian should have made contact with you, right?”
“Yes, senior. The people from the Taiping Sect have already entered the Border Army and started teaching.”
This past month, he had learned a lot about the Taiping Sect and came to know about the Datong United Nations.
He had to admit, the existence of the Taiping Sect was heretical to all dynasties, and without Senior Wang Sheng’s support, achieving their ideals would have been absolutely impossible.
But at the same time, he couldn’t deny that the state envisioned by the Taiping Sect was very appealing and would naturally garner the support of countless people.
With a powerful figure as their supporter.
No dynasty could withstand the onslaught of the Taiping Sect, be it in terms of power or ideology.
“The vast majority of soldiers within the Border Army were attracted by the ideology of the Taiping Sect. The education is going extremely smoothly. As long as I don’t organize resistance, there’s no need for my help in other matters.”
The ideology of the Taiping Sect was magical, and the world they depicted was overly beautiful.
As the commander, his non-interference ensured that everything proceeded smoothly.
“Is that so? Then continue as planned, and aim to start acting within a year.”
The Border Army was already a top-notch military force. Once the ideological transformation was complete, they could act immediately. Then Wang Sheng remembered something and took out a Jade Scroll.
“This object is called a Jade Scroll…” Wang Sheng introduced the usage of the Jade Scroll as usual, and amid a few astonished looks, he disclosed its contents, “It contains some military formations I’ve devised on my own, which should be of help to you.”
Although Wang Sheng hadn’t extensively researched military formations since the invention of the Array, his understanding of military formations was unparalleled in this world due to his Breakthrough abilities.
“I don’t know if it’s a problem with the Zhou dynasty, but their military formations actually have significant flaws. It seems somewhat like over-acceleration, although powerful. If it progresses step by step, the military formations would become even more powerful. Here are some processes I’ve sorted out, you can have a look.”
He had noticed the flaws in the current military formations as early as when he made a Breakthrough.
So, he had casually sorted out this material, never expecting it to actually be useful.
Although Yang wanted to see the effects of the Jade Scroll, he didn’t dare to delve into the military formations content first.
Tu Hong, however, was very interested, and began to read as soon as he took it.
The Jade Scroll was magical, and he quickly became aware of all its contents, his expression changing continuously.
“Senior, this object, for an army, is almost unparalleled. You must have put a lot of effort into it, right?”
“I did indeed spend quite a bit of effort, about a year or two.”
“…”
Tu Hong felt he shouldn’t have spoken.
He was still too naive. For such powerful beings, how could he judge them by common standards?
The content in the Jade Scroll would normally require generations of people falling one after the other, enduring countless bloody lessons to accomplish. Yet, for such a powerful being, it had taken just a year or two.
“Senior, you must be aware of the value of this thing, giving it away like this…”
“It only has value when it’s put to use. If you’re grateful, just make sure the task is completed well.”
“I will certainly not disappoint you.”
The content in the Jade Scroll would drive any commander or general crazy.
At that moment, Yang said, “Senior, I will also help.”
He knew the general plan and was very eager to achieve it.
Yue also remembered something and said, “Sir, I would also like to go out and help.”
His current strength might be the only one capable of assisting Wang Sheng.
“You decide for yourself!” Wang Sheng did not interfere.
The discussion concluded, the plan officially began.
All dynasties would eventually face their own demise.
After Wang Sheng left, three people remained at the scene.
Yang mused to himself, “This is the ‘sliver of hope’ the Valley Master often speaks of…”
