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.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
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.
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.
