"Oh, right. Inside your bloodline is a cultivation technique that is suitable for your Physique. Don't waste it. Look for it, comprehend it, and cultivate."
"Oh, okay." Having been loaded with a crap ton of amount of information and a lot of jaw-dropping things, Tiancai just nodded absentmindedly.
Matthias chuckled and waved his hand, "Anyways, except for the First Emperor of Alphan, you are the only mortal who talked to me this long. I gotta go." He saluted with his two fingers and jumped, floating away towards the sky, while Yi Tiancai looked at him blank-faced.
After finishing the talk, Matthias returned to the platform and watched the mortals below once more.
After being left behind, Yi Tiancai began to refine his qi and replace it with Primordial Qi. After doing so for a week, he started roaming the Southern Divine Continent and training to fight monsters.
A lot more beasts faced tribulations and entered the Ascension Stage. They unlocked their bloodlines and learned how to cultivate and utilize their power.
In the world named Tianxuan which is the world where Zhou descended, the Zhou Dynasty is finally facing off against an equally powerful and large foe; the Zhang Dynasty, led by Emperor Zhang Dayue.
When the Zhou Dynasty declared war, the dragon Zhou called out his brother Qin to watch, which was happily accepted by the dragon.
Bai and Wang were a little curious so they watched as well. Only Luo was able to stop the temptation forming inside her.
Matthias was also curious so he appeared behind them, scaring the four dragons.
"Father."
"Greetings, Father."
"Sorry, we're too relaxed. We're going back to our jobs." Zhou mumbled meekly.
"No, no. It's okay. I was just curious too. Go on, let's watch." Matthias waves his hand and dismisses them, making the four dragons happy.
"Thank you, Father!"
Matthias nodded and watched the two dynasties rumbling below.
In Tianxuan, after Zhou's declaration of war, they immediately gathered their vassal states and dispatched 50,000 troops to attack the cities of Zhang. They seized cities after cities.
"This is boring." Matthias mumbled, disappointing Zhou. He felt he did a bad job.
"Let's add some action." Matthias grinned with evilness, creeping out the four. He then waved his hand, sending tiny wisps of light to the Zhang Emperor and Zhou Emperor.
From the Zhou, the fourth Zhou Emperor gave Zhang a chance to peacefully surrender. From Zhang, the third emperor started to plot and build his army.
"Holy shit, this is thrilling!" Zhou exclaimed.
Matthias laughed out loud with victory, earning the praises of the four.
When Zhou didn't receive a reply for 3 weeks, they launched another attack, but when they reached the forest near the city..
"Argh!"
"For Zhang!"
A shout of more than ten thousand men echoed throughout the forest. Zhang ambushed the army of Zhou.
Zhou tried to counter but was met with Zhang's resistance. They had no choice but to retreat.
With this, the psychological war started between the two nations.
In the first year, Zhou attacked Zhang's border city of Kanai. Zhang's counter-attack was abandoning Kanai directly and attacking Zhou's border city Mashan and cutting the Zhou army by taking Suyue City and directly attacking the Zhou army on all four fronts.
In the second year, Zhou successfully countered Zhang by luring them to Sanguo Canyon and surrounding them with archers. Then Zhou retook both Suyue and Mashan City by instigating a coup d'etat in Zhang's army and absorbing them into their ranks.
Suddenly, Matthias smiled without anyone knowing. He quickly reverted back to his sightseeing expression so no one noticed anything unusual.
In the third year, the Zhou army fought the large army of Zhang in the frontlines of Sanshi Grasslands, not knowing that another army of Zhang with their vassals continued to conquer four cities until the Zhou army heard it. Zhou tried to retake the cities but was met with great resistance from the vassal states.
In the fourth year, Zhou had to relocate their capital because Zhang established an army of 20,000 strong in the city of Longyue, a city that is only a few kilometers from the former Zhou capital.
In the fifth year, after Zhou occupied the Zhangs' supply line, they continued to advance and retake cities, letting the city of Longyue starve to death, eventually making them surrender.
ln the sixth year, Zhang instigated a big rebellion inside Zhou by funding the commoners.
In a surprising turn of events, a vassal state of Zhou– Qin State– launched a surprise assault on the cities of the two dynasties and united with two other vassal states– Yuan and Su– to establish the Qin Dynasty.
Quickly, in the seventh, eight, and ninth years, Qin conquered cities after cities with overwhelming advantages. They started reforms and quickly established dominance over the two dynasties.
In the tenth year, Qin separated their army to siege both the Zhou Capital and the remaining cities. In the same year, Zhang surrendered and the vassal states were conquered.
After the war, everyone looked at the mischievous dragon smiling on the side.
"Your move was pretty amazing, Qin." Matthias grinned and ruffled Qin's dragon head.
"Hehe." The dragon chuckled and patted his neck.
"..You're evil." Zhou spoke half-crying.
After the show, Matthias returned to his platform and there, Shyra was waiting for his return.
"Master, the dragon Xuan is waiting for you below." Shyra pointed at a buff man with sharp eyes and thick eyebrow. The man who was overflowing with strength was currently standing atop of a plateau.
Matthias descended and was seen by the man. The man faced his direction and cupped his fist, bowing toward him.
"Father." The man spoke.
"Huh. You're quick, Xuan. You're already at Saint Rank?" Matthias nodded approvingly.
"It is thanks to Father's cultivation technique." Xuan answered respectfully.
"Don't be humble. I gave you the cultivation technique but if you didn't even cultivate it, you wouldn't reach this level." Matthias waved his hand.
"Now, I made you come to me because if you can't even properly fight, you are but a lump of strong flesh. Come with me." Matthias waved for him to come. He opened a portal and entered it.
Xuan nodded and followed him. They appeared in a hellish place. No, not hellish, it is a literal hell.
