Chapter 304: The Story of the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race
It was very quiet in the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
The increase of 1,000 immortals really had no effect on the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty at all. It didn’t cause any waves.
Especially when there were people breaking through from the False Immortal Realm every moment and becoming a true immortal.
To the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, it could truly suppress the world now. Not only was there Lin Jiufeng, but there was also a large group of geniuses.
The speed at which these geniuses broke through to the Immortal Realm was far beyond what the Myriad Races could compare to.
In the Myriad Races, a few people would break through to the Immortal Realm every day. On the better days, there would be around ten people who broke through to the Immortal Realm.
But how could this compare to the hundreds of people in the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty who broke through to the Immortal Realm every day?
Moreover, this was just the beginning.
Only when the Martial Temples fully exerted their strength and the young people of the entire country started working hard would the potential of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty be completely exploited.
Back then, Emperor De withstood the objections and established the Martial Temple. He truly achieved a long-term strategy.
Grooming talents was a long-term project.
Education is the number one policy for a nation to become strong.
On this foundation, Emperor De surpa.s.sed the contributions of any previous emperor.
He would be known as one of the wisest emperors throughout history!
The people of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty also called the recent three emperors the Three Emperors of Revival.
The three emperors started with Emperor Yuan and reached the peak with Emperor De. Now, the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty had a terrifying powerhouse like Lin Jiufeng to suppress the world. There were also the Martial Temples, constantly producing countless powerhouses.
The people of the world were improving by the day!
Because the immortals groomed by the Martial Temples supported Emperor De, Emperor De’s reforms were still continuing. The reforms went deep into every corner of the society and considered the benefits of the common people. All those things that were harmful to the common people were reformed. The imperial court managed the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty in an orderly manner.
As for the emanc.i.p.ation of the women of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, it also started with Princess Yulin breaking through to the Immortal Realm and becoming the first female immortal of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
Then, the number of female immortals who broke through to the Immortal Realm began to increase. Although they weren’t as many as men, there were still a certain number of them. At the very least, they were working towards the independence of women.
This was a good start.
The immortals who came from the Martial Temple were very respectful to Emperor De, who had a low cultivation base.
Every student of the Martial Temple had received Emperor De’s great grace. Moreover, when receiving education, patriotic education was one of the compulsory subjects.
Every immortal had a good understanding of the state of affairs of the dynasty. They knew that the reforms that Emperor De had implemented over the years were all about people and benevolence.
Hence, although they had broken through to the Immortal Realm, when these people saw Emperor De, they would willingly bow and have an audience with him in the manner of officials, giving Emperor De, the Emperor who worked hard for the dynasty, their own respect.
How could such a divine dynasty not last long? How could it not be glorious?
The Myriad Races really extinguished their thoughts of competing for glory with the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
How were they supposed to compete?
The number of immortals in the Myriad Races both on the surface and in secret only numbered a few thousand when added up.
But the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty caught up to this number in just ten days, and it was still increasing.
Could they win against the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty?
The population base was huge. Once they completely displayed the advantage of the population, the terrifying energy that would erupt from them was something that no one could match.
Therefore, the Myriad Races extinguished their thoughts of competing for glory and began to learn the methods of the Kunlun Mountains. They merged with the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and took the initiative to join the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty before the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty completely rose up in power. They became a member of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and enjoyed the advantage of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
Race after race began to surrender and came to see Emperor De, taking the initiative to join the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
The great integration of the Myriad Races began to become complete in this era.
Emperor De welcomed them.
After they joined the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty’s side, Emperor De didn’t ask them to pay much of a price. He only asked them to reform their cultures. The children of the younger generation were to enroll in the Martial Temple to learn the knowledge of the Martial Temple. As the students of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, they were to receive a patriotic education and the ideals of treating the common people well.
When these races joined in, they also had to completely follow the management system of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, freeing the slaves, a.s.sisting the poor, improving the roads, and improving the facilities…
They fully sided with the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
From culture to custom, from the higher-ups to the common people.
The Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty would lead the reforms, abandon the old shackles, embrace the new culture, learn the words of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, and learn the thoughts of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
Emperor De didn’t have any hope of changing those who had already formed a complete worldview, but he wanted to influence the children of the next generation of the Myriad Races. Those teenage children and newborn babies were Emperor De’s goal.
The education of these children had to start from a young age.
Generations of people would grow up and then age.
There would always be people growing and also people aging.
Emperor De only needed to catch the young people of every generation and nurture them, instilling in them the ideals that they were all the people of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
In less than two generations, the Myriad Races would completely integrate into the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
From the fundamental, he would destroy the possibility of the Myriad Races rebelling.
There were also wise people among the Myriad Races who saw through this scheme, but facing the glorious situation of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, they were very powerless in their hearts.
The Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty didn’t even need to use Lin Jiufeng and it was already enough to make the Myriad Races fear it.
As for the immortals who came from the Celestial Realm, they thought that they were top existences in this world.
Although they were unable to act fearlessly due to the restrictions of Great Emperor Jiufeng, as long as they didn’t provoke the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, it was still very comfortable.
Moreover, even if they had provoked some humans, the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was so big, how could Great Emperor Jiufeng know everything that happened?
But who would have thought such a situation would happen?
After they descended to the mortal realm, the world was overturned. Immortals emerged endlessly, and incomparably powerful strength erupted from them.
They suddenly discovered that after spending more than 10,000 years in the Celestial Realm, the mortal realm had become unfamiliar to them.
At the very least, it wasn’t the mortal realm that they thought it was.
When these factors were stacked together, they created the incomparable ruling power of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
…
Compared to the disturbances of the outside world where the world had completely entered the era of immortals, the Cold Palace was relatively very quiet.
Lin Jiufeng and Bai Mao’er lived here quietly just by themselves.
After accompanying Bai Mao’er for a few days to ease her longing for him, Lin Jiufeng went to look for Zuo Muyun.
Zuo Muyun lived in seclusion in the imperial capital.
Compared to the newly broken through immortals who were high-spirited, prosperous, and in the limelight, Zuo Muyun was much more low-key.
He enjoyed living an ordinary and quiet life as a nameless person.
Especially with the addition of a neighbor, Zhou Qing!
The two of them gathered together when they had nothing to do and chatted about their respective pasts. In the three months in the immortal realms, they became companions and good friends. Their personalities and their experiences were very similar.
Zuo Muyun had once made a mistake. He betrayed the Human Race and joined the ranks of the G.o.d of Darkness.
Zhou Qing also made mistakes and became the lackey of the Immortal Court’s descendants, serving them for more than 10,000 years.
Now, they had realized the error of their ways and were tired of their former lives. They had experienced the trials and tribulations of the world, and their mentalities were completely different from that of young immortals. They chose to live in seclusion peacefully.
Lin Jiufeng came to look for Zuo Muyun. He found him in his courtyard, cooking a delicious meal and preparing to eat with Zhou Qing.
Knock knock knock!
Lin Jiufeng arrived and knocked on the door.
Seeing that it was Lin Jiufeng, Zuo Muyun opened the door to the courtyard in surprise. He said happily, “Great Emperor Jiufeng, your presence truly graces my humble house.”
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, shall we have a drink together?” Zhou Qing invited Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng nodded in agreement. “Sure, it just so happens that I have something to ask you guys too. I’ll ask as I drink.”
“As long as it’s something that I know, I will definitely tell you everything.” Zhou Qing patted his chest and agreed.
Zuo Muyun took out the wine and said proudly, “These are all good wines that have been around for 10,000 years. I personally buried them back then. It’s been 10,000 years, they are peerless-grade wine now.”
“You can still find wine that’s 10,000 years old?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
Zuo Muyun smiled helplessly. “I found the wine from 10,000 years ago, but I couldn’t find my family and friends from 10,000 years ago. There was no trace of them at all. They disappeared in the long river of history.”
“It’s been more than 10,000 years. Too many things have been buried in history. Back then, my family members also pa.s.sed away one after another. I had nothing holding me back in the mortal realm, that’s why I joined the Celestial Realm.” Zhou Qing laughed at himself.
“Then let’s toast to the people who have existed in the past but disappeared. Although they have disappeared, they will never disappear in our hearts. They will definitely continue to exist in the future.” Lin Jiufeng raised the wine cup. The wine in the cup was crystal clear and light blue. After experiencing the baptism of time, its taste became increasingly delicious.
The three of them raised their cups and drank the wine in one gulp.
After three rounds of drinks, Zhou Qing asked Lin Jiufeng, “Great Emperor Jiufeng, what do you want to ask me?”
Lin Jiufeng looked at Zhou Qing and said, “I want to know about the true Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race. Tell me whatever you know.”
“The true Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race…” Zhou Qing smacked his lips and fell into his memories.
“Actually, speaking of which, in the Celestial Realm, there are very few people who know the true grudges between the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race, including that group of remnants. Most of them were born at the end of the era of the Immortal Court. When they were slightly more mature, the war between the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race had already ended.”
“At that time, the true powerhouses of the Immortal Court had already been wiped out. The G.o.d Race were fully killed too. According to this situation, the Immortal Court could have continued to recover. After waiting for a few thousand years, it could have suppressed the world again.”
“But at that time, an old man came to the Immortal Court. He suppressed the Immortal Court with his lone strength and wiped out the last of the Immortal Court’s powerhouses. He even shattered the Immortal Court. It was at that time that those descendants saw that the Immortal Court could no longer be saved. They stole the world’s source energy and escaped. They built the Celestial Realm and then recruited me.”
Zhou Qing shared everything he knew. He explained it clearly.
Lin Jiufeng and Zuo Muyun listened attentively.
“The old man who destroyed the Immortal Court is called Elder Universe, right?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
Zhou Qing nodded. “I also heard it from the remnants of the Immortal Court. They have a deep taboo against this name, so when you mentioned Elder Universe previously, my reaction was very big. It’s because they told me these things.”
Lin Jiufeng nodded. He knew that Elder Universe had destroyed the Immortal Court.
But later on, he learned that the main destruction of the Immortal Court was in the hands of the G.o.d Race. At that time, he was puzzled as to why Elder Universe had said that he destroyed the Immortal Court.
Now that he heard Zhou Qing’s explanation, it turned out that after the war between the G.o.d Race and the Immortal Court, the G.o.d Race had yet to completely destroy the Immortal Court. Some of the powerhouses of the Immortal Court remained.
This also proved that the Immortal Court back then was really powerful. The G.o.d Race did their best, but they weren’t able to completely eliminate the Imperial Court.
If it wasn’t for Elder Universe delaying the recovery of the Immortal Court by a few thousand years, then the Myriad Races wouldn’t have been able to develop.
Hence, it was also possible for Elder Universe to say that he could crush the Immortal Court.
“Then, how much do you know about the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“I did read some records about the G.o.d Race in the books in the Celestial Realm. The G.o.d Race is a very huge race. They have two major factions, light and darkness. They are like the front and the back of a world, or maybe they are Yin and Yang. Light and darkness don’t deal with each other, but for the sake of the Immortal Court, they actually joined forces to resist the Immortal Court together,” Zhou Qing said.
“Light and darkness!” Lin Jiufeng drank a mouthful of wine.
“Yes, I know that too. For example, the previous G.o.d of Darkness. He was originally the G.o.d of Light, but after the Immortal Court was destroyed, for some reason, he gathered a lot of dark energy and ultimately transformed into the G.o.d of Darkness. After he fell into depravity, his strength became stronger,” Zuo Muyun chimed in.
“I know that. I killed him with my own hands. He’s indeed very dark.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.
“How many powerhouses are there in the Immortal Court?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“It’s recorded in the Immortal Court that there was a Lord of the Immortal Court, four Great Emperors, and 38 Combat Generals. These were all top powerhouses, and there were also countless powerhouses below them. At that time, the Immortal Court was really high and mighty. This was also the reason why the group of remnants of the Immortal Court was so lofty and proud,” Zhou Qing said.
“But it has already been destroyed now,” Lin Jiufeng said.
The remnants of the Immortal Court were too weak, but they were still acting high and mighty. They couldn’t even defeat him, so how could they recover the Immortal Court?
If the Immortal Court relied on them to recover, that would really be the greatest joke in the world.
“Why did the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race have a conflict that caused the light G.o.ds and dark G.o.ds to actually join forces to resist?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.
This was something he didn’t understand.
“Competing for territory? Or competing for control of the world?” Zhou Qing guessed. He shook his head, not knowing.
“I didn’t find any answers in the books in the Celestial Realm. When I asked the remnants of the Celestial Realm, they didn’t tell me. I felt that they didn’t know either. This is a secret that only the higher-ups of the Immortal Court know.” Zhou Qing added.
“Some of the old and young descendants of the Immortal Court survived, then didn’t anyone from the G.o.d Race survive too?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.
“Didn’t the G.o.d of Darkness survive?” Zuo Muyun asked with a smile.
“He doesn’t count.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
When the G.o.d of Darkness was in power, that was during the era of the Myriad Races. Moreover, he had clearly betrayed the G.o.d Race.
The key was that he was probably still young when the G.o.d Race was fighting with the Immortal Court, just like the remnants of the Immortal Court.
“The remnants have also discussed this problem,” Zhou Qing said.
“What’s the outcome of the discussion?” Lin Jiufeng looked at Zhou Qing curiously.
Zuo Muyun was also very curious.
“The outcome of the discussion is that the group of people from the G.o.d Race back then has completely disappeared with the counterattack of the Immortal Court. But the bloodline of the G.o.d Race should have been pa.s.sed down, it’s just that we don’t know where it is,” Zhou Qing said.
“The bloodline from the G.o.d Race has been pa.s.sed down?” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up.
It was good if the bloodline of the G.o.d Race had been pa.s.sed down. If this bloodline still existed, he would be able to find it and continue investigating the sealed history of the past.
[Listen to the past of the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race. Do you want to Sign in?]
A line of words suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes. He was stunned.
He could even sign in to this?
It seemed that this piece of history really had a lot of significance.
