Chapter 1766: The Lotus Order Crumbles

?

But, with the split, old regional area, most of them could no longer be depended on or claimed about.

Usman himself is a person that is on Boris faction.

He was given he authority by Boris to look Asia Minor.

But with Boris imprisonment and the suppression by the Jean faction, he always had desire to return back to independent regime he had set up before he join the Senate.

And he is not the only one that have such ideas.

Most of the warlords in Asia also find out that they no longer need to fight against the Lotus Order for land because if there is one thing the world does not lack right now, it is land.

What it lacks however is populations.

The Three Great Powers has great attraction ability for security, conveniences and even power and ambition.

But for the other world powers, they lack that certain reputation.

Lotus Order hated the warlords yet at the same time without the warlords, Asia would not have any populations.

And that is what happens.

After the split these warlords quickly resettle their people in other continents.

Some still stay at the continent of Asia but they live so far from the central government that the central government could not order or have any power over them

Mots however choose to go to other continent to create their own independent power.

Those that did not clash with the Emperor and there is tug and pull between the Emperor and the other warlords.

Even though the one in old China called himself Emperor, that title is only applicable in that

area

Most of Asia did not deign to respect it.

Because even though this Emperor did not have any harsh measures for the warlords, nor does it able to implement such measure against the warlords, there is a stigma of attaching themselves to China

Like the Revolutionary Army is composed of Russian who fears the growing influence of Americans on the World Government and choose not to join, the Asian regime also has such feeling for that Emperor who claimed China

But twenty years for the people of the world has eroded some of the loyalty toward nations.

The people of World Government did not say that they were Americans or Japanese or Canadians.

They regarded themselves as the citizen of the World Government, their leader is the President.

Pandemonium is also the same.

A land of opportunity, led by Death Monarch, and they are proud to say that they are the people of Pandemonium.

Even the people of the Republic even though they are ruled by the Senators, they all have the right to be heard and their complaint would be solved by the Senate and the Three Chancellors of the Senate as their rulers.

There is a commonality between all these three great powers. It is that they were the original three great powers.

Thye manage to subvert the loyalty toward nations to their new world order.

Of course, there is still some people who held a torch for their old nations and for their old ways.

It is not the old ways was wrong.

One could even say that most of the world powers actually inherit many of the old ways of governance only in a different scale and a different interpretation with mostly the top position held by beings that could not even be regarded as humans.

A godlike being that rules over mortal.

While success could be found in the three great powers, the other four great powers have varied experience trying to subvert these old allegiance.

Even more so in the case of Lotus Order.

The most badly destroyed territory in Asia is Old China.

By the end of it, the population of China decreased to only a few million people.

There is already a lot of old people in China and the Fall only exacerbated this problem. They were the first to die.

And the young, the children, the woman and the youth also was not spared.

Korea on the other hand was small but got the after effect of old China destruction. The monsters swam across the sea and ravages the cities all over Korea from Seoul to Busan and kills everything it could get its hand on.

Japan was the least affected in the Asian continent which is why Ashikaga Hirate could found the World Government

The fact that Lotus Order was able to appear at all in that region is remarkable.

And the fact that the Lotus Order could become so powerful and manage to convince Death Monarch to give it to Lotus Order instead of other forces and organization ins Asian at that time is because their defensive abilities

Lotus Order in their record always loses once they go out of the Central Plains. This shows that the warlords, regimes and forces and organization outside of the Central Plains could easily supress any force of the Lotus Order

Their attacking power is not strong at all. But not once anyone is able to destroy the Lotus City and breach the walls of the Lotus Palace in Beijing.

There was a fight where thirty-nine warlords besieged the Lotus Palace.

Each one holds a thousand men army. Before the Fall, a thousand men besieging a city probably does not look like a formidable force.

But these thirty-nine people are all people with powers beyond normal men. Leading them are either False Disk Formation realm leveler or Seed Forming realm leveler.

And there thirty-nine of such people. And each one brought a thousand people. Thirty-nine thousand people, even the weakest level of them is in Energy Disperse Stage.

Thirty-nine thousand people besieging that wall

They besieged it for a year, using all of their powers, fighting outside the palace but nothing could break the walls of the Lotus Palace.

Not because the Lotus Palace wall was built with some magical bricks but because of Lee

Sangmin.

That Sage of Array Formation Lee Sangmin.

Without him, Lotus Order would not be so hard to break.

Death Monarch himself sometimes wonder whether he could break the Array.

Because the array he crafted is not a projection array nor is it a concealing array or an

illusionary array.

The array formation he created uses the people will.

It touches the Concept; it touches the Law of the Soul.

It is not something that could easily be broken by physical methods.

That is why even the strongest person in the world wonder whether he could break it.

No, maybe there is a way to break it. But he did not dare to break it. Because there is certain

line that Death Monarch would keep for himself.

Hence, the fall of the Lotus Palace shocks everyone.

But the fall of the Lotus Palace would not happen if not for the death of the Emperor.

Lee Sangmin fled the Lotus Palace because the Emperor dies.

To understand why such chaos happens would require deep understanding of the intricacies

of the relationship of people inside the Lotus Order and actually not many world powers knows what changed after the splitting of the Ten realms.

Each realm focus on their development. Only when something big happened, a meeting would

be held.

There is the emergency meeting that could be called whenever something that threaten Earth stability and peace and there is the Three Years Meeting where every three years the world powers would meet with each other and mingle to solve their misunderstanding and tries to find a way to solve things without resorting to war

In the Lotus Order however, five years after the split, the Emperor of Wei was assassinated. Some said it was the Dark Syndicate assassins.

Some said it is an assassin that wanted to gain fame.

Others said it is an internal job and that the assassin comes from one of the Lotus Order

nobles.

Whatever the truth was, the reality was that the Emperor dies and the Lotus Order stability

break in an instant.

At that time, Lee Sangmin was not in the capital. He was out. This alone shows that the one who planned this was very wise.

If Lee Sangmin was in the capital, with his authority and prestige, the Lotus Palace would not

fall.

Because he was not there The Lotus Palace was infiltrated and the defensive formation was

put down and the capital fell.

It is said that when he heard the news that the Emperor dies and the Lotus Palace defense has been breached, he just shook his head and said "Lotus Order is finished"

And then he disappears.

Some said that he went to the Free Continent. Others said that he goes to the World

Government.

There are also some that swear that they saw Lee Sangmin chilling on the back of the famous

turtle

And what about the Lotus order? It is maintained by the group of warlords that started the

whole chaos.

The news of this finally spread to the world a year later. And even then, only the closest

continent got the news.

Far away continent still thought that the Lotus Order is alive and well. But for the people in

the Lotus Continent, the Lotus Order has fallen.

A world power created by Death Monarch has crumbled.
