Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 74

Chapter 74

For the Central Plains Thirty-Six States with a history spanning thousands of years.

Fifty years doesn't seem like much for the majority of ordinary citizens.

Perhaps, it doesn't differ much from the past.

However, the royal families of the Thirty-Six States vaguely sensed subtle changes in the past fifty years.

Mainly, it's the remnants of the Anti-God Society, whose actions are becoming increasingly bold.

The Anti-God Society, as an underground organization rejected and wanted by the Central Plains Thirty-Six States has always been treated like a rat crossing the street.

When trying to recruit followers, they usually adopt secretive methods.

However, in recent years, these remnants of the Anti-God Society have become more arrogant, even daring to 'abduct people on the street.'

What surprised the royal families of the Thirty-Six States the most is that every time they launched a siege, the remnants of the Anti-God Society seemed to have received information in advance and miraculously escaped.

This made the royal families of the Thirty-Six States realize that the Anti-God Society was well-prepared.

As a result, the suppression of the Anti-God Society by the Central Plains Thirty-Six States further intensified.

Thirty-six years ago, and nineteen years ago, the Central Plains Thirty-Six States even mobilized 'Warrior Commanders.'

They wanted to use the power of the most powerful divine weapons to heavily defeat the Anti-God Society.

Unfortunately, the 'Warrior Commanders' on the side of the Anti-God Society appeared in time.

Delaying the 'Warrior Commanders' of the Thirty-Six States and allowing the majority of the elite members of the Anti-God Society to leave in advance.

The Central Plains Thirty-Six States possess divine weapons to protect the country.

By using the power of these divine weapons, Warrior Commanders can be cultivated.

Although the Anti-God Society does not have complete divine weapons, they have many divine weapon fragments.

These are called Evil Weapons.

Evil Weapons are essentially divine weapons.

As long as the completeness of the Evil Weapons reaches a certain standard, Warrior Commanders can be cultivated as well.

Of course, the Central Plains Thirty-Six States call these Warrior Commanders 'Evil Warrior Commanders.'

In direct combat, Evil Warrior Commanders are naturally not as powerful as Warrior Commanders with divine weapons.

But the former can slightly interfere with the latter.

As long as the Warrior Commander does not activate the divine weapon to fully awaken, it is challenging to capture the Evil Warrior Commander.

Generally speaking, Warrior Commanders do not allow the divine weapon to fully awaken.

Because if that happens, it means their own lifespan will plummet.

A fully awakened divine weapon, in terms of absorbing the soul essence of the Warrior Commander, will reach a terrifying level.

Every time the divine weapon fully awakens, the Warrior Commander's lifespan will be reduced by ten years.

In a hidden underground square.

A robust man sits cross-legged in the center.

Around the robust man, there are dozens of weapon fragments scattered.

If there were 'Evil Warrior Commanders' from the Anti-God Society present, they would be shocked to find that these weapon fragments are, in fact, Evil Weapons.

Evil Weapons are divine weapon fragments.

Although their strength is far from that of divine weapons, they surpass the limits of the mundane.

However, at this moment, these supreme Evil Weapons are casually thrown on the ground like ordinary objects.

"Fifty years."

The robust man, Lin Yuan, slowly opens his eyes.

For the majority of the fifty years, he has been mostly practicing and comprehending the fundamental rules within the divine weapon fragments.

As for the various political affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Yuan established a cabinet with loyal ministers more than forty years ago to handle the affairs of the country on behalf of the emperor.

Lin Yuan only needs to go back and check every once in a while.

As an emperor, the last thing you want to do is to be personally involved in everything. There are so many affairs of the country; if you get involved in each one, wouldn't it be exhausting?

Of course, someone like Lin Yuan, who neglects things for a long time, is also rare and is a taboo for emperors. It's easy to be marginalized.

But with Lin Yuan's strength, gathering immense power in himself, who would dare to marginalize him?

"Fourth Rank."

Lin Yuan looks at the divine weapon fragments around him, his face sinking into brief contemplation.

With Lin Yuan's cultivation speed, he had reached the Celestial Realm perfection twenty years ago.

And achieving Celestial Realm perfection, if placed in the main world, is equivalent to a quasi-Fourth Rank.

However, when it comes to the breakthrough to officially enter the Fourth Rank, Lin Yuan is somewhat hesitant.

The transition from the Third Rank to the Fourth Rank, even in the main world, is a significant bottleneck, a great shackle.

Evolvers who can reach the pinnacle of the Third Rank, each one is a genius among millions, tens of millions, or even billions.

Even so, breaking through this major bottleneck and shackle would take at least hundreds of years, with many succumbing to old age at the pinnacle of the Third Rank.

This is based on the premise of having a complete evolutionary path guide.

For someone like Lin Yuan, who is forging his own evolutionary path, each step is taken on a completely unknown road. Breaking through to the Fourth Rank is a challenge multiplied by a thousand or even a million times.

Of course, this 'thousand or million times' is based on Lin Yuan's current strength at the pinnacle of the Third Rank.

For higher-level evolvers, such as those in the Fifth or Sixth Rank, with a broad perspective, opening up an evolutionary path is much easier.

In fact, even with this 'thousand or million times' difficulty, with Lin Yuan's unrivaled insight, he should have already broken through to the Fourth Rank.

However, Lin Yuan has been hesitating.

Take, for example, the promotion of a Celestial Master using the power of Yin or Yang.

In this promotion to the Fourth Rank, Lin Yuan wants to advance using the fundamental rules within the divine weapon fragments.

This method of advancing to the Fourth Rank undoubtedly has the greatest potential.

Over the past fifty years, Lin Yuan has collected dozens of divine weapon fragments, incorporating the fundamental rules inside them into the martial arts cultivation system.

However, these shattered fundamental rules are still too few for Lin Yuan.

They cannot support Lin Yuan's advancement to the Fourth Rank.

"Evil Warrior Commander."

Lin Yuan squints his eyes slightly.

Over the years, the divine weapon fragments that the Anti-God Society has helped him collect are naturally those of the weaker variety.

There's no way around it; divine weapon fragments have their own consciousness.

Even if Sikong Lun tries to manipulate them, he can only deceive those ordinary divine weapon fragments.

As for the truly powerful divine weapon fragments, their whereabouts are simply not something the Anti-God Society can control. These divine weapon fragments are generally already cultivated into Warrior Commanders, sleeping within the bodies of the Warrior Commanders most of the time.

The Anti-God Society and these Evil Warrior Commanders tend to have a cooperative relationship; the former cannot command the latter.

Each time the Anti-God Society asks these Evil Warrior Commanders for help, they need to pay a significant price.

Even so, when facing the suppression of the Central Plains Thirty-Six States, the Anti-God Society and these Evil Warrior Commanders can be considered standing on the same side.

Evil Warrior Commanders obey Evil Weapons, and Evil Weapons are the losers from the battle of a hundred divine weapons eight thousand years ago.

Their bodies were shattered by the strongest thirty-six divine weapons, scattering in all directions.

So, Evil Weapons naturally harbor resentment towards the thirty-six divine weapons.

The two have an inherent opposition in their positions.

As for the Anti-God Society, it is a force composed of people who want to resist the rule of divine weapons.

They are also opposed to the thirty-six divine weapons.

The enemy's enemy is a friend.

Therefore, the relationship between the Anti-God Society and Evil Weapons is a natural alliance.

In the previous headquarters of the Anti-God Society, there was a fragment of a divine weapon suppressing it.

However, Lin Yuan dispatched more than twenty Martial Saints and swiftly annihilated that headquarters, too fast for the fragment of the divine weapon to react; the battle had already concluded.

Just as Lin Yuan was contemplating,

Faint footsteps approached from a distance.

"Greetings, my lord."

The person was none other than Sikong Lun.

Fifty years have passed, and Sikong Lun has aged considerably, with many more white hairs on his head.

"Mm."

Lin Yuan glanced at Sikong Lun and nodded slightly.

Over the years, Sikong Lun has indeed done well, tirelessly working in the Central Plains Thirty-Six States.

Now, many headquarters of the Anti-God Society obey Lin Yuan's orders, and Sikong Lun's contribution cannot be ignored.

After all, Lin Yuan is immersed in cultivation, and he tries not to attract the attention of those true divine weapons, so he rarely appears.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Lin Yuan said directly.

After fifty years of interaction, he has some understanding of Sikong Lun. He knows that if Sikong Lun doesn't have anything significant, he won't come looking for him.

"My lord"

"Those Evil Warrior Commanders want to meet you, to discuss matters related to the decisive battle with the Central Plains Thirty-Six States."

Sikong Lun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"A decisive battle?"

"Don't they fear another 'calamity of war'?"

Lin Yuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The so-called 'calamity of war' refers to the disasters caused by the battles between divine weapons.

Eight thousand years ago, the battle of a hundred divine weapons concluded, and the situation was settled.

Thirty-six divine weapons each guarded one of the thirty-six countries, enjoying the blood offerings of sentient beings.

But why is the history of the Great Yan Dynasty only a little over three thousand six hundred years?

Not only is the Great Yan Dynasty like this, but the histories of the other thirty-five Central Plains countries are also around three to four thousand years.

The reason lies in the great decisive battle initiated voluntarily by many Evil Warrior Commanders and the Anti-God Society three to four thousand years ago.

That battle directly angered the thirty-six divine weapons.

All thirty-six divine weapons revived simultaneously, beginning to suppress the resurgent Evil Warrior Commanders.

The battle between them affected the entire Central Plains, leading to the downfall of the dynasties and the cries of the people.

While suppressing, the thirty-six divine weapons harvested the life force and souls of the people.

This caused severe damage to the human race, and it took hundreds or thousands of years for them to recover.

However, the impact of the decisive battle persisted, resulting in the overthrow of the old dynasties and the establishment of the new thirty-six countries.

This period is known as the

Calamity of War.
