—------------------—
Now, for the Xingluo Empire, the six provinces in the rear are more important than the Mingdou Mountains.
When marching and fighting, what we fight for is supplies and resources.
There are frictions between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire in the Mingdou Mountains. A large number of troops are stationed there all year round, and the support of these troops depends entirely on the provinces in the rear. Now that the Samsara Empire has directly occupied six provinces, the anxiety of the Xingluo Empire can be imagined.
Even Chen Ming could imagine Xu Jiawei's expression after being rejected when he asked for help from Shrek and Tianhun Empire.
"I don't know how long it will take for Mu En and Long Xiaoyao to return to Douluo Continent. By then, the cucumbers will be cold."
Chen Ming sneered.
Without Mu En in charge, Shrek would never dare to act rashly.
As for the Haotian Sect, Chen Ming didn't care at all.
If Da Ming and Er Ming dare to come for revenge, then keep both of them as well.
Now that everything has been exposed, Chen Ming no longer pretends.
His strength has reached its limit.
With three soul bones plus a spiritual soul core, Chen Ming's strength is unquestionable.
He came out of the Douling Palace and looked towards the west.
"The Sun-Moon Empire is also about to take action against the Tianhun Empire."
Chen Ming is waiting.
"Senior Sister has returned to Tiandou City. I don't know how the negotiations are going now."
All he wanted was a unified empire. On this basis, he didn't have to kill all the Tianhun royal family. He was not that bloodthirsty.
He had no intention of reorganizing the existing aristocratic order.
In a world full of extraordinary power, it is impossible to eliminate the gap between classes. The strong must have privileges, otherwise there will be no motivation to climb up.
Where there is distinction between the strong and the weak, there is class differentiation.
Chen Ming would simply choose to reform within the unified empire so that more civilians would be eligible to climb up.
Even if he wanted to eradicate them, he would only target the nobles who tried to monopolize the channels for upward mobility.
"The construction of the Samsara Palace has also encountered a bottleneck. We still need to build a second channel between Douluo Continent and Samsara Continent as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, a dagger appeared in Chen Ming's hand, a dark blue dagger.
The deep blue breath passed through the space, leaving a spatial crack.
Chen Ming held the Breath of Deep Sea and stabbed it into it.
At the same time, a series of complicated spells came out of Chen Ming's mouth, and various elements around him gathered together, among which the element of light was the most abundant. As Chen Ming's spells changed, they finally gathered into a huge magic circle.
The dagger pierced into the space crack and entered a mysterious space.
The magic circle formed by the power of light formed a mark, which fell on the breath of the deep sea and was also marked in the space layer.
Chen Ming recited the spell over and over again, tirelessly, constantly imprinting the space between the layers with the power of light.
Time passed, and after three days and three nights of branding, he finally completed the first stage of fixation.
He used his mental power to control the breath of the deep sea and suspended it in front of him.
Seven soul rings, one black and six red, emerged, the fourth of which was flashing a blood-red light with a silver texture.
Silver dots of light appeared and gathered around.
Finally, Chen Ming opened his eyes, and the pupil of destiny between his eyebrows opened. A blade-like red light shot out in an instant and slashed fiercely on the Breath of the Deep Sea.
boom!
At this moment, it was as if the world was created, instantly activating the spatial force within the Deep Sea Breath, causing an unprecedented explosion.
Inside the Breath of the Deep Sea, the force of space was in chaos, but it began to spread in a special structure, echoing the spatial layer that Chen Ming had previously imprinted, and then began to expand.
Chen Ming probed into it with his mental power, condensed a spiritual body, and watched the entire space begin to spread around from nothing.
In the deep blue void space, the silver spatial force quickly constructed layer upon layer of spatial barriers, which echoed the imprint of light in the distant spatial interlayer, and continued to be laid out around it, imitating the spatial structure in the interlayer, and quickly constructed a subspace.
When the space was almost opened up, Chen Ming continued to imprint the mark of light, connecting with the power of space within the breath of the deep sea, and guiding the laying of the power of space.
Because the purpose was clear, Chen Ming chose to open up this space into a long strip.
He planned to name this space the Samsara Corridor.
And just like that, another half month passed.
Chen Ming probed into the breath of the deep sea with his mental power, looked at the subspace he had opened up from a macro perspective, and fell into silence.
Why not straight?
This bridge is curved!
The middle is arched and looks like a bridge.
"Almost done. It will take more than a day to perfect the demiplane. Let's first fix this subspace node and build a bridge between the two continents."
Chen Ming was quite accepting of the bridge-shaped subspace he constructed. After all, it was a bridge between two continents, and it was reasonable to build it in the shape of a bridge.
He asked for a soul-guided plane, and flew it to open the space gates in the southeast forest and the film city in the Samsara Continent.
"It's slightly stretched, but the material of the Deep Sea Breath is very good and it can withstand it. The space inside is also expanding and extending under this stretching."
It's all easy to accept.
After everything was done, Chen Ming traveled back and forth ten times on this bridge spanning two continents, bursting out his soul power from time to time, and even tried to shake the space to ensure its stability.
After confirming that there were no problems, he allowed the Samsara Army, which had already been ready to go, to set out from the Samsara Continent and head towards the Southeast Forest.
With the addition of this mysterious army, the Samsara Empire, which was in a stalemate with the Xing Luo Empire, began to counterattack and actually advanced in the opposite direction. It not only recaptured half of the province it had previously lost, but also quickly expanded outward and occupied an additional province.
The first large army joins the frontal battlefield.
Afterwards, a large number of construction personnel selected by Su Su for Chen Ming joined the Douluo Continent Samsara Empire and began large-scale construction within the Douluo area and the seven provinces of Xingluo. They quickly built the Samsara Tower, and at the same time, they filled in as grassroots personnel and joined the Samsara Palace to awaken the martial spirits for ordinary people.
There were not enough people at the beginning, but as the martial spirits awakened, there were always new soul masters with soul power.
According to Chen Ming's request, the Samsara Palace did not force them to join, but only registered them.
Even so, more than 20% of people still directly joined the Samsara Palace and entered this team to help others awaken their martial spirits.
With such compound interest, in just one month, more than 99% of the people in the territory ruled by the Samsara Empire completed the awakening of their martial souls.
At the same time, the power of the Samsara Palace also expanded to its peak.
Douling Palace.
Chen Ming received the envoy from the Tianhun royal family.
"Meet the Lord of Samsara."
Chen Ming has announced that he calls himself the Lord of Reincarnation and wants to let the name of Reincarnation be spread in every corner of the continent.
The envoy of the Tianhun royal family had a complicated expression.
Mo Feiyun, he had hunted souls with Chen Ming before. When Chen Ming was looking for his second soul ring in the Sunset Forest, he had gone with him.
"Has the Tianhun Royal Family figured it out?"
Mo Feiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has decided to cooperate with the Samsara Empire. I hope the Lord of Samsara can show leniency to the Tianhun Royal Family as we agreed before."
"No problem. After all, you are my senior sister's family. You can continue to take root in Tiandou City in the future. Except for the need to declare that you belong to the Samsara Empire, everything else remains the same." Chen Ming said lightly.
Mo Feiyun had a bitter look on his face.
He glanced at Chen Ming and felt that Chen Ming was too optimistic.
"The Sun and Moon Army has already carried out three soul bombings on Tiandou City. Tiandou City has been completely destroyed. I hope the Lord of Samsara will send troops as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, the strong men of the Samsara Empire have already taken action."
Already taking action?
Mo Feiyun frowned, not understanding what Chen Ming said.
Seeing Chen Ming waving his hand, he could only bow and leave the palace.
Three days later, news came that the Sun and Moon armies began to shrink and a large number of troops were withdrawn. Even in the Mingdou Mountains that had been captured during this period, the Sun and Moon side had lost their forces and were all being recalled.
After continuing to gather intelligence, they found out that within the territory of the Sun-Moon Empire, in the rear area, the Nanyuan Province, there was actually a large army of the Samsara Empire hidden.
A Samsara palace was built deep in the Sun and Moon Empire!
The outbreak in Nanyuan Province was very fast. Du Busi led the team personally and directly attacked the two surrounding provinces. In just half a month, the territory of the Samsara Empire expanded by two more provinces.
Such news naturally shocked the entire continent.
The first was the Sun-Moon Empire, which had no countermeasures at all for the Samsara Army that appeared in the rear, and could only mobilize forces from the front lines to defend.
After realizing that the Samsara Empire would continue to expand outward and that the three provinces were not enough to satisfy its greed, Xu Tianran decisively gave up the blockade of the Holy Spirit Church and used all the troops that were blocking the Holy Spirit Church to blockade the three southern provinces.
There is no doubt that the rise of the Samsara Empire caught all empires off guard.
Be it the destroyed Douling Empire, the Xingluo Empire whose rear was invaded, the Tianhun Empire which was forced to agree to surrender to the Samsara Empire, or the Sun and Moon Empire which was also attacked from all sides and had three provinces bitten off, they all had no time to react.
No one could understand how this was done.
How dare they?
It was obvious that the Samsara Empire sent troops at the same time at both ends of the continent.
Once these old empires are angered, they will give up fighting in the center of the continent and directly gather all their forces to encircle and suppress the Samsara Empire. What will the Samsara Empire do?
The Sun-Moon Empire was crazy enough, and Xu Tianran was very decisive. He gave up suppressing the Holy Spirit Church, withdrew the frontline troops in the central region of the continent, and directly counterattacked the Samsara Empire with all his strength.
However, the power of the Samsara Empire was beyond his expectations.
Nanyuan Province actually has nine-level fixed-type soul guide shells, as well as an endless supply of eight-level soul guide cannons. Various types of war soul guides emerge in an endless stream, and there is almost no obvious gap with the Sun and Moon Empire.
As for the Xing Luo Empire, it also gathered all its forces, even transferred the Duke of White Tiger back to the rear, to recover the lost territory of the Samsara Empire, but it did not make any progress. Instead, it was overwhelmed by the endless army of soul masters and quickly lost the territory of three provinces.
The changes lasted for three months, that is, a total of five months had passed since the establishment of the Samsara Kingdom, and the continent changed drastically.
The territory occupied by the Samsara Empire directly jumped to nearly 40% of the entire continent!
Bang!
"What a Samsara Empire!"
Xu Tianran gritted his teeth.
Now, the Samsara Empire has occupied the territories of the original Tianhun and Douling empires, and even occupied the territories of ten provinces of the Xingluo Empire, and is approaching Xingluo City!
In the rear of the Sun-Moon Empire, a huge gap was torn open, and three southern provinces were occupied. After holding on for three months, the rule of the Samsara Palace gradually gained popularity, and various preferential policies had begun to win people's hearts.
If this is the case with the sun and the moon, the heavenly souls, heavenly spirits and the people in the Xingluo area are even more supportive of the Samsara Palace.
Ju Zi was pushing the wheelchair with a dazed look in his eyes, obviously in a daze.
She had never imagined that the war would have such a big turn of events.
She had studied the situation on the continent for so many years, but she had never imagined that a new empire like the Samsara Empire would rise up and be so powerful.
"Do you understand clearly? How does the Samsara Empire support each other?"
Xu Tianran's voice interrupted Ju Zi's thoughts.
Ju Zi's eyes were dim.
"Your Majesty, I have not investigated the matter thoroughly. All the soldiers of the Samsara Empire who knew the information never spoke until they died."
Xu Tianran took a deep breath and slammed the armrest of the wheelchair hard.
Click.
The armrest is broken.
Juzi hurried to Xu Tianran and half-knelt on the ground.
"It's not your fault. You've followed me for so long and learned all the tricks I could. You still can't force them to tell you the reason. This only shows that the Samsara Empire's confidentiality measures are too effective."
What kind of methods can make the soldiers under his command so loyal?
Xu Tianran slowly closed his eyes, lay in the wheelchair, raised his head and faced the sky.
What is it?
Shrek Academy.
Sea God Pavilion.
Mu En convened a meeting of Sea God Pavilion.
Yes, Mu En is back.
After returning to the mainland, he had learned about the changes that had taken place on the mainland in the past few months on his way back to Shrek.
Mu En looked grim.
Xuan Zi and others did not dare to ask Mu En where he had been during this period of time. He and Long Xiaoyao disappeared for almost a year at the same time. What on earth did they do?
It was not just because Mu En was angry at the moment, but also because they felt the deep fluctuations of Mu En's soul power.
Mr. Mu has become stronger.
This is Xuanzi's most intuitive feeling.
"Mr. Mu, this is the current situation. Where should we go?"
Old General Song reported everything, detailing all the actions of the Samsara Empire since its founding and the current distribution of the continent. She then asked Mu En with a hint of confusion.
She did not ask Mu En how to salvage the situation.
The current situation is where Shrek will go.
Should they continue to support the Xingluo Empire, the only one still struggling, or remain neutral and wait for the Samsara Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire to eliminate this holy land of soul masters that transcends the power of the empire?
Or, which side to join?
Mu En looked grim.
"Have you found out the situation of Haotian Sect?"
He did not answer Mr. Song directly, but asked about the situation of Haotian Sect.
"I have a rough idea. It was Tang Zhen who attacked the ordinary soul masters of the Samsara Palace in Nanming City. Then the Body Sect took advantage of the absence of Tang Zhen from the Great Ming and Second Ming to destroy the Haotian Sect."
Mu En took a deep breath, helplessness flashing in his eyes.
What kind of teammates are these?
He is getting stronger, he is working hard, and he has already reached the threshold to go further. Why don't you give him more time?
