Shendou Continent

Chapter 5 God Fight Continent
The land they live in is called the Shendou Continent, which has existed for countless years. 2000 years ago, a god fighter unified the continent and named it the Shendou Empire, hence the name of the continent.

Surrounded by the sea on all sides, the land is vast, 1 miles from east to west, and [-] miles from north to south, with a population of about [-] million.The four seas are named after their directions and are called East, South, West, and North Seas respectively.This continent has existed for countless years, and there have been more than [-] countries in history, but except for the Shendou Empire a thousand years ago, it has never been unified again. Now it is mainly dominated by Loulan, Mengliao, Baishan, Hanhai, Guangchu, Xishu, The Eight Great Empires of Nanling and Ouyue dominated.

The lands of the Eight Great Empires are more than 3000 miles across, occupying more than half of the land in the mainland; the Baishan Empire with the smallest population is about 8000 million people, the largest is the Guangchu Empire with 5000 million people, and the average population is about [-] million.In addition, there are about fifty large and small vassal states attached to the eight empires, with a population ranging from tens to several million.In addition to large and small countries, there was also a fighter organization in the last years of God Dou—the Holy See. The headquarters of the Holy See is located in Saint Dou City, and it has set up large and small branches. The leader of the Holy See is called the Pope, who is elected by the cardinals of the Temple.

The relationship between the Holy See and various countries is similar to religion and secularism, but more precisely, it is a relationship between a transnational organization and a sovereign state. However, after thousands of years of development, this transnational organization has the strength to confront any country, and even surpass any single country. .

For thousands of years, the Holy See has penetrated among countries, coexisted peacefully with them, and mediated disputes among them, acting like an authoritative organization on the mainland.The country owns the army, subjects and land, and the Holy See also owns the army, congregants and land. The subjects of the country can be ordinary people or fighters. Fighters can transcend the country and become church members, or they can be subjects of various countries. You have me, I in you.

The most special thing about the God Dou Continent is that supermen like fighters live like ordinary people, but they have soul power and produce powerful combat power.The soul power must be awakened by the soul. After the awakening of the soul, the lifespan and combat power will be greatly improved.

Fighters in the Shendou Continent have existed almost since the beginning of human beings. People who become fighters usually awaken their souls with the help of certain external forces when their bone age is between 5 and 8 years old.Those who can awaken the soul will have soul power, and the soul power will drive the stellar qi to form a powerful combat force.There are 99 levels of soul power from low to high. Levels 1-9 are entry-level fighters, advanced levels 10-19 are realm-passing fighters, and advanced levels 20-29 are mirror-asking fighters, and so on. Brahma Realm, Transformation Realm, Void Realm, Mysterious Realm, Holy Realm and God Realm fighters.

Holy fighters with soul power over level 80, also known as holy fighters, are already the peak existences in the continent, and the whole continent is also rare, with extremely powerful strength.It is said that, except for the well-known palace masters of the Zodiac Palace in the Holy See Temple of the Holy See City, the rest are scattered in various countries and sects. It is the core figure of the suzerain or the great elder of the great sect.As for the God Fighters, they are also honored as God Fighters. In the entire God Dou Continent, there are only sporadic existences in each era. The most famous ones are the founders of the God Dou Empire and the successive popes of the Holy See.

Not everyone can achieve the awakening of the soul. In fact, ordinary people only have a chance of less than one percent, and it requires external force, and there is a strict age limit.The annual Awakening Day of the Holy See is to help people on the mainland to awaken their souls.Helping potential fighters awaken their souls is also an important way for the Holy See to observe and recruit talents.

There are about 600 million people in the mainland, and only about [-] million people are qualified to be fighters. These people are mainland elites and are an important talent base for the development of the Holy See.Of course, in addition to the Holy See, nobles, sects and even individual fighters who have reached the realm of superstition can help awaken the soul.There are nearly [-] countries, large and small, in the mainland. There are countless nobles and thousands of sects, but the eight major sects are the leaders, and each empire has one.But nobles and sects are mainly responsible to their disciples, and generally don't worry about the outside world.

The Holy See cooperates with other countries to start from the villages, and everyone can participate in the spiritual awakening. This is equivalent to conducting a blanket investigation on ordinary people in the mainland to search for potential talents.Once these people are found, they are eligible to enter the schools affiliated to each country to study, and after further study, they can join the bureaucratic system, sect or Holy See and other organizations of each country according to their own wishes, and start a bright fighter life.Xiaodong is already a fighter and has a bright future.

And the Ouyue Empire where they are located has nine provinces, one capital, about 5000 cities and [-] counties, with a population of about [-] million.This land is the same as the entire continent, where the imperial dignitaries, the Holy See, and sects are intertwined with various forces, especially the number of dignitaries and sects is quite large.Relatives of the imperial family and high-ranking officials above the third rank belong to the powerful, while sects are more widely distributed, not only sect organizations or strong families, but also business names and other forms of existence.The empire set up provinces, the provinces governed the prefectures, and the counties under the prefectures were a bit similar to the Song and Ming Dynasties in China in this world.

Tong County of Yanzhou Prefecture, Lin San’s hometown, belongs to the Qiantang Province. It was originally a wealthy province, but Yanzhou has many mountains and few people. , low-lying.The Ouyue River is called the Wuyun River in the prefecture, and the river flow is not smooth. If there are a few more heavy rains in a year, it will cause floods in Tongxian and Chunxian counties near the river.Therefore, people's livelihood in Yanzhou is difficult, and it is notoriously a backward area in Qiantang.

But it is because the high mountains and dense forests also bred the aura of heaven and earth, which is suitable for cultivation, so a powerful sect like Wuyunmen was born.As the number one sect of the empire, although Lin San knew little about it, he had witnessed the strength of the fighters with his own eyes, and they were absolutely incomparably powerful.If Lin Youzhen could awaken his soul and join such a sect to become a talent, Lin San would die in peace.

Speaking of the Ouyue Empire, Lin San once begged and wandered in several provinces, and he also had some experience.The surname of this empire is Qian, and the founding emperor Qian Chong used to be the Ouyue Jiedu envoy of the Shendou Empire. When the world was in chaos in the last year of Shendou, he married ten brothers and led them to rebel.Qian Chong himself is a holy fighter, he is like a god descending from the earth on the battlefield, he is extremely brave, and he attaches great importance to strategy and appoints people as sages, so he conquered the Ouyue River and Mountains in the troubled times.

But fighting the country is different from defending the country. Qian Chong used a trick of "a cup of wine to release the military power" to take over the military power of the ten brothers and stabilize the regime first.Then take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, like other big and small countries, they pay attention to recruiting fighters, so they make friends with the Holy See, which is rising at the same time, and work together to discover potential fighters to cultivate and win over, so as to consolidate the foundation of the country; Wen's students were given higher treatment, and they overwhelmed military attaches at the same level in terms of power, so as to facilitate the imperial court's check and balance.

Therefore, the civilization and military of the empire almost developed at the same time. Unlike other empires where martial arts prevailed, Ouyue had developed industry and commerce, a large variety of goods, and a phenomenon of cultural prosperity.It is also because the Ouyue Empire is one of the few developed countries that continuously supplies the needs of the mainland. This is also valued by the Holy See and other organizations, consciously or unconsciously maintaining the stability of the empire's environment.

Of course, in order to deal with the threat of powerful empires and fighters, in addition to setting up standing armies to recruit high-level fighters, countries will also support some ruling sects as backing.And this Wuyun Sect has good relations with the royal family of the Ouyue Empire, and it is also the most famous sect in the territory of Ouyue, so it is naturally relied on by the Ouyue Empire.

Talent alone is not enough. In order to survive for a long time in the imperial jungle and command the army and hundreds of officials, the heirs of the Ouyue Empire can only choose princes with fighter potential and secretly train them.Although the probability of an ordinary person becoming a fighter is non-existent, the probability of a person with the blood of a fighter is half.Therefore, the Qian family still has a choice of successors, and with the efforts of the top management of the empire, they can generally reach the cultivation level of a fighter above the Void Realm, which is enough to deal with some situations.Occasionally, when the emperor reaches the level of a saint warrior, he will have the strength to compete for power among great powers.

However, due to the intentional or unintentional intervention of the Holy See and the delicate balance among countries, although there have been minor wars in the mainland for nearly 500 years, the overall situation in which the eight empires were ruled by the Holy See is still generally stable.They are also aware of the cruelty of war and are well versed in the principle of "prosperity makes the people suffer; death makes the people suffer". They oppose war, and the typical example is the Holy See.When the Shendou Empire collapsed thousands of years ago, the mainland experienced about 200 years of war, and the population dropped from 9000 million to [-] million. How tragic?No one wants this phenomenon to happen again.But there are also those in various countries who want to catch up with the former glory of the Shendou Empire, and they are also thinking about how to expand their territories.

In addition to these geography and history, Lin San also told Xiao You a lot of common sense of life. When seeing the chief’s question, he should bow his head and answer with a respectful expression; It should be hidden in the inner pocket of the clothes, and cannot be taken out when not in use; when traveling in the wild, it should be close to the water source...

Xiaoyou listened quietly. He knew that he would embark on a difficult and dangerous road in the future. He would leave his hometown and have no one to rely on. His father would be gone in the future. He wanted to tell his son everything he knew, but he just wanted to fulfill his duties as a father again. ...
