Chapter 700: Chapter 700:The world is divided into four parts

One year later, in the Guilong Imperial Dynasty!

Across a vast expanse, the Scenic Jade Disc had become a symbol—a symbol of making money. As long as one was associated with the Scenic Jade Disc, endless spirit stones would flow in.

In a city known as Bahuang City, within the residence of the newly appointed city lord.

Today, a grand feast for guests!

"Congratulations, Lord Lin, on becoming a Level Eight member! Just one step away from the top!" a man raised his glass in congratulations.

"Hehe, I haven't been the lord for a long time. Why do you still call me that? Isn't this making me uncomfortable?" Lord Lin smiled.

"Lord Lin, you're being too modest. Although the title of city lord has changed hands, everyone knows you're still the real lord here. The new city lord is just a Level Three member. He's been eager to replace you, but it's simply impossible!"

"Be cautious in your words, my friend," Lord Lin chuckled, though inwardly enjoying the compliment.

"Today, we high-level members gather to speak freely. Lord Lin, please don't hold back!"

"Hahaha, very well. But once we leave my residence, no more talk!" Lord Lin laughed.

"Of course, of course!"

Amidst the lively conversation, suddenly, a blue light shot up from outside, followed by countless other blue lights surrounding the mansion.

Lord Lin's face turned pale.

"Lord Lin, what kind of show is this?" a tipsy guest laughed.

"Not good, my lord, my lord! There are a large number of troops outside surrounding our mansion. They've set up an Eighth-level killing array. My lord...!" a servant rushed in, panting.

The cup in Lord Lin's hand dropped as he realized the severity of the situation.

The banquet fell silent.

Quickly, everyone followed Lord Lin to the entrance, where the gates were already enveloped by a grand array. There was no escape. Outside, a large army was led by General Iron Blood.

"General Iron Blood, what is the meaning of this? We were just drinking together not long ago. What's happening?" Lord Lin asked anxiously.

General Iron Blood's face showed no emotion as he glanced at those inside. "By order of His Majesty, the Guilong Imperial Dynasty prohibits pyramid schemes. Those involved will be executed on the spot!"

"What?" Lord Lin exclaimed in shock.

"Execute them!" Iron Blood repeated coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone trapped inside shuddered.

"You can't kill us all!" Lord Lin cried out.

"Lord Lin, for the first batch, execute members of Level Five and above. Those below Level Five, without the supply of Scenic Jade Discs, will naturally disperse. Blame yourselves for being too greedy, which has now threatened the nation!" Iron Blood shook his head.

"No, no, I have spirit stones! I have plenty of spirit stones! Let me go, and I'll give them all to you!" one person panicked and pleaded.

Iron Blood gave a cold glance.

"100,000? A million? Billions? All of it!" the person shouted.

"However, this northern turmoil has truly given the Guilong Imperial Dynasty a huge advantage. An imperial dynasty has swallowed seventeen others like a whale, making everyone sit up and take notice!" Li Si marveled.

"This is the scheme of Nie Fancheng. Nie Fancheng? During the siege of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, I already sensed he was no simple man. I didn't expect, after leaving the Small Thousand World, he could set up such a grand scheme," Ying nodded, sighing in admiration.

"Yes, the great Qin and Tai Sui each control thirty percent of the Shenzhou world, while Da Yong and Da Xiong each hold twenty percent. The division of the world is becoming increasingly clear: the world is divided into four parts - the great Qin, Tai Sui, Da Yong, and Da Xiong. Your Majesty, given the current situation, should we continue our conquest?" Li Si asked respectfully, bowing deeply.

"Four parts of the world?" Ying gently tapped the armrest of the dragon throne with his fingers.

Everyone waited silently.

"Rest and recuperate. Great battles are inevitable, but not now!" Ying declared.

"Yes!" The ministers responded in unison.

Thirty years later, the Shenzhou world had entered a rare period of peace, with no large-scale wars. Throughout the land, only four major powers vied for prominence: the great Qin, Da Yong, Da Xiong, and Tai Sui. For thirty years, these four powers had developed quietly without disturbing each other.

In a quiet valley at the southeastern border between Da Xiong and Da Yong, Xuan Yuan, the master of the Creation Divine Palace, meditated with his eyes closed. He seemed indifferent to the affairs of the world.

After all, the struggle for territory was the pursuit of those seeking fame and fortune. Xuan Yuan, however, focused on accumulating virtue and was naturally less concerned with such matters.

Hanging from Xuan Yuan's chest was a jade pendant, the shattered soul of his wife, obtained by Zhong Shan from the underworld.

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Xuan Yuan gazed at it tenderly.

"One day, I will restore you!" Xuan Yuan vowed with deep affection.

Carefully hanging the pendant back, he prepared to continue his meditation. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and his expression changed.

"Are invaders from the Grand Thousand World here again?" Xuan Yuan frowned.

"What audacity, to directly invade the Yang realm! Such boldness!" A cold light flashed in Xuan Yuan's eyes.

In an instant, Xuan Yuan disappeared, fulfilling his duty to the Creation Divine Palace by going to eliminate the invaders from the Grand Thousand World.

Two months later, in the Da Xiong Imperial Dynasty.

Zhong Shan presided over the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, where everything proceeded in an orderly manner. The priority for Da Xiong was to rest and recuperate. Thirty years had passed, but for Zhong Shan, it was still not enough; Da Xiong needed further development.

After the morning assembly, as Zhong Shan stepped down from the dragon throne, Liu Wushuang came to report.

"Your Majesty, the master of the Creation Divine Palace, Xuan Yuan, requests an audience," Liu Wushuang announced.

"Oh? Where is he?" Zhong Shan was surprised.

"I have led him to the Taihua Hall. However, it seems that Xuan Yuan is seriously injured," Liu Wushuang explained.

"Seriously injured? Who could have hurt him so badly?" Zhong Shan was even more surprised.

Quickly, Zhong Shan followed Liu Wushuang to one of the halls.

Liu Wushuang stayed outside while Zhong Shan entered.

Inside, Xuan Yuan's hair was somewhat disheveled, with three bloodstains on his face and his clothes tattered. He sat cross-legged on a cushion, seemingly healing his wounds.

"Xuan Yuan? Who did this to you?" Zhong Shan asked in surprise.

Xuan Yuan slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and then smiled bitterly, "This time, Shenzhou might be in great trouble."
