Chapter 105: Battle of Fate and Becoming Enemies with the World

That day, Wang Chen was buried. The grave that Jiang Jian helped build was near the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest.
Hua Jianxin and Bai Qi had already expected this day to come, so they were not too sad. However, the young Jiang Jian was a little sad. After all, this was the first time he had experienced the death of someone around him.
Ever since he was young, Wang Chen had been by his side. He had become accustomed to seeing Wang Chen every day. In his heart, Wang Chen was closer to him than other imperial relatives.
Jiang Changsheng silently looked at the tombstone for a while and said, “Let’s go back to the courtyard.”
Bai Qi came up and asked, “Do you want to recruit a disciple to sweep the floor?”
“There’s no need. You can sweep the floor in the future.”
After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng activated the blessing function.
[Blessing of Incense: It can consume a certain amount of incense points to give to a reincarnated person. If the other party is not born, it can increase their qualifications in their next life. If the other party is born, it can bring good luck. The degree of enhancement and good luck depends on the amount of incense points consumed.]
He had already blessed Chen Li. However, Chen Li had already been born at that time, and the incense points could only bring him good luck. He wondered how that guy was doing.
Naturally, Jiang Changsheng would not be stingy with Wang Chen who had accompanied him for dozens of years. Taking advantage of the fact that he had yet to reincarnate, he blessed him and allowed him to become a martial arts genius in his next life.
Jiang Changsheng silently sent 20,000 incense points, twice as much as Old Chen. After all, Old Chen did not give him as much as Wang Chen did.
After doing all this, Jiang Changsheng continued to cultivate.
Only by becoming stronger could they meet the people he cared about for generations. If even he died on the path of cultivation, then their fate in this life could not continue.
Wang Chen’s death did not cause any commotion in Longqi Temple because most of the disciples had never seen him before. Even if they had, they did not care.
After Qing Ku, Wan Li, Ming Yue, and Ling Xiao learned of this, they were very sad. However, they had become accustomed to sending old people away often over the years.
Especially Qing Ku. He knew that he did not have many years to live.
After the old left, the new entered the temple. The Longqi Temple alternated between the old and the new, and so did the Great Jing Dynasty.
Even though the people were changing, the green mountain was still there.
A few days later, Jiang Ziyu and Jiang Xiu learned that Wang Chen had left through Hua Jianxin. They also personally went to Wang Chen’s grave to mourn.
Wang Chen had also accompanied them as they grew up, and in their hearts, he was also their family.
The father and son stood in front of the tombstone for a long time in silence.
Jiang Ziyu suddenly said, “I will die sooner or later, but I hope that Great Jing will be strong forever. If Great Jing is always here, then my will will always be here.”
Jiang Xiu tilted his head and looked at him. He knew what he wanted to say.
Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath and said, “I don’t know how many years I can live. When you ascend to the throne, I hope you won’t be like the previous Emperor who only cared about pleasure.”
If it were not for the fact that Jiang Yu was his nominal father, Jiang Ziyu would not have given him a posthumous title. However, during Jiang Yu’s reign, Great Jing had reversed its crisis. If he did not acknowledge this contribution, the future generations would definitely say that the Jiang Family loved to kill father and son.
Jiang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, “I will abide by my father’s will.”
In the 38th year of the Qianwu Era, Huang Chuan had arrived at the front line of the East Forest. The scouts had also sent back information to Si Province, but they did not find any Golden Body realm experts in Great Wilderness.
Great Wilderness was different from Great Jing. A hundred years ago, it was already a Luck Dynasty. Even though it had declined, its martial arts world was prevalent. All the martial artists knew about the Golden Body realm. The phenomenon of luck caused by that Golden Body realm expert had also made them extremely nervous. If a person from Great Wilderness really achieved the Golden Body realm, they would definitely be famous throughout the world.
When Jiang Ziyu learned of this, he immediately gave an order for Xu Tianji to be the commander-in-chief and launch a war with Great Wilderness. He would not stop until the capital was destroyed!
In the court, Jiang Ziyu’s voice was filled with oppression.
“Even if that Golden Body realm expert comes from the vast Great Wilderness where such an expert is hidden, I am not afraid. Great Wilderness will definitely perish!”
The officials looked at each other and could only say in unison, “Your Majesty is mighty.”
A few officials understood in their hearts that His Majesty must have gone to Longgi Temple to gain confidence.
The Dao Ancestor was the pillar of the Great Jing Dynasty!
The imperial decree was speeded up and sent to the front line three months later. Xu Tianji, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led 100,000 Heavenly Strategy troops to the border of the Great Wilderness. After that, there were still other armies to respond and surround the logistics and ordnance army.
With this move, the entire army numbered more than 1.5 million, and many of them were from the Donglin Dynasty.
As the neighboring dynasty of Great Wilderness, the Donglin Dynasty paid tributes all year round and had long been their enemy. They could not stand the Great Wilderness.
The war between two Luck Dynasty broke out!
When the Great Wilderness army discovered this, they immediately launched an attack. The first war between the mountains and plains extended for hundreds of miles.
The first battle ended with Great Jing’s victory. Ping’an repelled two True Gods alone and smashed a small mountain with his hammer, blocking the logistics route of the vast Great Wilderness. This battle caused the name of Ping’an to spread throughout the vast Great Wilderness!
In the next few months, the battle between Great Wilderness and Great Jing spread throughout the world.
How many years had it been since there was a war between the Luck Dynasties? Normally speaking, it was the Luck Dynasties that annexed ordinary dynasties. Luck Dynasties would often avoid each other and did not dare to easily fight.
A hundred years ago, Great Wilderness fought a war with a Luck Dynasty and both sides suffered heavy losses. They even forced the Chao Sects to attack before they stopped. Unexpectedly, Great Wilderness got into another war.
The good news from the front line continuously spread back to the 49 states of Great Jing. The commoners did not expect the Emperor to go to war. Fortunately, there was good news and the world was jubilant.
October.
Yu Yanyi from the Fuyue Family came to visit Jiang Changsheng.
She came to the Earth Spirit Tree and bowed respectfully. “Senior, were you the one who instigated the war between Great Jing and Great Wilderness?”
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and asked, “Why do you ask? Could it be that the Fuyue Family wants to interfere?”
Yu Yanyi hastily shook her head and said, “Of course not. It’s just that this junior wants to remind Senior that if a Luck Dynasty goes to war, it will easily escalate. After all, Luck Dynasties occupy a huge amount of luck and vast territory. If two Luck Dynasties fight, the winner’s luck will increase. It seems simple, but from the perspective of the continent, countless people will definitely die if Luck Dynasties go to war. In the end, the continent as a whole will lose a large amount of luck and affect the martial arts world. Once too many people die in the battle of luck, the Chao Sects will definitely join hands to stop it. Although Senior is powerful enough that the Chao Sects are not your opponent, but what if the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven also comes forward?”
“A hundred years ago, Great Wilderness won, but they were also punished by the Chao Sects. Due to the fact that Great Wilderness had slaughtered too many people, ever since then, the future rulers of Great Wilderness no longer dared to fight and only wanted to enjoy themselves. This is a secret, and I heard it from my father.”
So that was the case.
Jiang Changsheng came to a sudden realization. No wonder Luck Dynasties did not dare to start a war easily.
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “This is the will of the Great Jing Emperor. He is my disciple, and I will naturally support him with all my might. If the Fuyue Family is afraid of trouble, you can sever ties with me. I will not vent my anger on you. I understand this.”
He had a favorable impression of the Fuyue Family.
However!
The world must belong to Great Jing!
Yu Yanyi was stunned. She did not expect Jiang Changsheng to be so unyielding after knowing about this.
She gritted her teeth and said, “The Fuyue Family naturally supports Senior.
Even if the Fuyue Family is afraid, I am willing to support Senior to the death.” Bai Qi looked at her with a teasing gaze.
Hua Jianxin revealed a mysterious smile, but she was not angry. Outsiders did not know about her relationship with Jiang Changsheng. She was already over 90 years old, so if Jiang Changsheng were to find another woman, she naturally would not object. She also hoped that Jiang Changsheng would not be lonely after her death.
Even if she did not die, she would not have any objections if Jiang Changsheng accepted many women. Her life was given to her by Jiang Changsheng, so how could she dare influence Jiang Changsheng’s choice?
Jiang Changsheng knew Yu Yanyi’s intentions, but he was not moved. “Then go back and watch. Your words are enough. Great Jing does not need the Fuyue Family to take action.”
Yu Yanyi nodded, bowed, and left.
When she left the courtyard, she was puzzled. Why was that unrecognizable old Daoist priest gone?
Jiang Jian came over and crouched in front of Jiang Changsheng. He asked excitedly, “Grandmaster, is Great Jing facing the entire world?”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s not that bad. Once someone suffers a setback, the rest will not dare to show their faces. Jiang Jian revealed an expression of admiration.
As expected of Grandmaster.
He was even more arrogant than Huang Chuan!
On the cliff, the gray-robed old man and the brocade-robed man stood side by side as they looked at the battle in the distant wasteland. The army there was densely packed, and they could not count how many people there were. They could also see martial artists fighting in the air. It was a battle between True Gods.
The man in the brocade robe sighed and said, “They still fought. The Dao Ancestor of Great Jing is really arrogant. To indulge his disciple like this, it seems like he does not care about the Chao Sects and Xiansheng
Grotto-heaven.”
The gray-robed old man had a calm expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes and said, “He does have the qualifications.”
The man in the brocade robe said helplessly, “With the aggressive nature of Great Jing and Great Wilderness, the people will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering. In that case, Destiny will have no choice but to take action. This time, Great Jing has launched a war. If we want to stop the war, we can only face the Dao Ancestor. To be honest, I don’t dare to face him. Although
I didn’t see him move a mountain with my own eyes, even if it’s fake, the Dao Ancestor had really killed a Golden Body realm expert. I’m afraid he has already stepped into the legendary realm, the realm known as the Heavens.”
The gray-robed old man said, “Things are different now. Destiny can no longer be domineering. Right now, there are six Luck Dynasties in the world and their luck has increased greatly. It’s time for many geniuses to appear. Let’s take more of them in.
The man in the brocade robe nodded.
The two of them continued to watch the battle with no intention of interfering.
“Tsk tsk, that guy named Ping’an is really fierce. There shouldn’t be anyone among True Gods who is his opponent, right? Perhaps Great Wilderness will be defeated quickly. In that case, we don’t have to face the Dao Ancestor,” the man in the brocade robe teased.
“That’s not right. Even though the Golden Body realm expert born not long ago does not belong to Great Wilderness, that expert is related to the imperial family of Great Wilderness.”
“What is their relationship?”
“I’m not sure for the time being, but at least it’s related. The specific information is still being investigated.”
“Alas, how troublesome.”
The man in the brocade robe shook his head and turned to leave.
The gray-robed old man glanced at him and said, “The Evil Lord is currently heading south. You can guide the Evil Lord into Great Jing to absorb the martial artists there, see if you can force the Emperor of Great Jing to stop the war and turn his attention to hunting the Evil Lord.”
The brocade-robed man stopped in his tracks and smiled. “You’re such an old fox. I can’t hide anything from you. This plan of killing two birds with one stone is pretty good. I’ll go and meet that Evil Lord now.”
He leaped up and transformed into a purple streak of light before quickly disappearing into the horizon.
The gray-robed old man looked at the battlefield again and muttered, “Human King, when will you be willing to come out of seclusion? A new Universe realm expert has been born in this world.. Without you to protect the world, Destiny will have a hard time… Alas…”
