Chapter 717 The Tang Dynasty
The Lingshan Buddhist Great Power King Bodhisattva event seemed to be a watershed. Before the event, the great catastrophe of heaven and earth was imminent, but it seemed far away.

But after the Buddhist event, all the forces in the heavens and the worlds suddenly realized that the great catastrophe of heaven and earth was imminent.

The first to show signs of a great catastrophe for heaven and earth were the human race!
After constant conquests and wars, the human empires in the Southern Continent gradually became unified.

Five hundred years after the Lingshan Festival, the Tang Dynasty swept across the world and unified the Southern Continent. The Huoyun Cave and Shouyang Mountain, the ancestral land of the human race, jointly issued a clan order, declaring the Tang Dynasty the imperial dynasty.

After a long wait, the human race in the earthly immortal world finally ushered in a great unification and waited for another dynasty after the Great Zhou Dynasty during the Conferred Gods Tribulation - the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty gained the recognition of the human race's ancestral land, it gathered the human race's luck and became the orthodox human race in the earthly immortal world.

The human empires in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, Beijuluzhou and overseas islands, after sensing the changes in the destiny of the human race, also submitted to the Tang Dynasty.

The earthly immortal world is vast and boundless, and the human race is countless.

The Tang Dynasty was simply unable to directly rule the entire earthly immortal world.

Therefore, the entire Tang Dynasty tacitly accepted the submission of the princes from all over the world.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty was not willing to accept this, but its strength was limited. Unless it was promoted to the Tang Empire, it would never have enough strength to rule the entire Earthly Immortal Realm.

Although it was unable to completely rule the entire earthly immortal world, the Tang Dynasty did not give up on outward expansion.

The more vast the territory of an empire, the more lives it has and the more geniuses it will produce. Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty occupied the entire Southern Continent, it set its sights on the Eastern Continent.

Dongsheng Shenzhou!

The Tang Dynasty secretly formed an alliance with Taoism in Dongsheng Shenzhou, regarded it as the state religion, and used the power of Taoism to invade Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Although the cultivation world of Dongsheng Shenzhou is divided into three parts, belonging to the three religions of Taoism, Chan and Jie, the cultivation world is not the mundane world.

As for the conquest of the secular world, especially the human empire, both the Chan and Jie sects stood by and watched.

For the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, it doesn't matter to them whether the mortal human race is under the control of the Human Empire or the Tang Dynasty!

The Dongsheng Divine Continent is full of fairy mountains and blessed places. Their only interactions with the mortal race are to accept people as disciples and leave their legacy.

Therefore, with the Chan and Jie sects in seclusion and Taoism fully supporting the Tang Dynasty, the entire Dongsheng Continent was soon swept into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

After annexing Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Tang Dynasty finally reached its own limit.

As the policy of the Tang Dynasty began to shift from the outside to the inside, the entire human empire of the Earthly Immortal Realm breathed a sigh of relief. The Tang Dynasty was recognized by the human race's ancestral land, so it was justified to conquer them; moreover, the most important thing was that they were not as strong as the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was a terrifying dynasty that had carved out a name for itself among the countless empires in the Southern Continent, and the might of its military was astonishing.

Take the Tiance Army, the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty, for example. It would be a strong army even in the Heavenly Palace. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was full of brave generals and counselors, which was simply not something that other human empires could contend with.

The Earthly Immortal Realm, South China Sea!

On an island as vast as a continent, Emperor Hongwu looked towards Nanshanbuzhou with burning eyes.

Since the Ming Empire moved to the Earthly Immortal Realm, Emperor Hongwu has seen so many wonderful things! The gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters everywhere are no longer illusory legends, but the reality right in front of him.

As the founding ancestor of the Ming Empire in both the Jiuzhou World and the Qinghua World, Emperor Hongwu had long cultivated a state of mind that could remain calm even when facing a mountain collapse. After arriving in the Earthly Immortal World, this state of mind was shaken countless times. The horrors of the Earthly Immortal World that were beyond his imagination and cognition forced Emperor Hongwu to stabilize his state of mind again and again.

When he first came to the Earthly Immortal Realm, Emperor Hongwu had great ambitions. However, in less than three days, a battle between a giant sea beast and a terrifying golden eagle in the deep sea completely shattered all of Emperor Hongwu's thoughts.

Judging from the strength of these two giant beasts, even if the entire Ming Empire were to gather together, it might not be possible to kill them.

From then on, Emperor Hongwu sat in the Ming Empire and began to carefully explore the earthly immortal world.

Fortunately, this island was a reward from the human race to the Ming Empire, and the dangers on the island had long been sorted out by the human race. But even so, the Ming Empire suffered a lot of damage after exploring the entire island. After all, the dangers in the eyes of the human race and the dangers in the eyes of the Ming Empire are completely different.

After exploring the islands, the Ming Empire began to implement a long policy of recuperation.

After all, in the world of earthly immortals, strength is the foundation. Without sufficient strength, the Ming Empire is just a piece of meat on the chopping board. How can it have lofty ambitions?
In recent years, the Ming Empire has taken advantage of the abundant spiritual energy in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and its strength has soared rapidly. It is completely different from the Ming Empire in the Qinghua Realm.

Of course, in addition to governing the Ming Empire and enhancing its strength over the years, Emperor Hongwu also quietly went to the Southern Continent to observe the melee in the human empire.

This trip to the Southern Continent tore apart the slight smugness that Emperor Hongwu had felt because of the Ming Empire's soaring power. The terror of the human empires in the Southern Continent was truly shocking. With the strength of the Ming Empire, let alone participating in the human empire's hegemony, even if a human empire sent a small army, the Ming Empire would be destroyed.

After leaving Nanshanbuzhou, Emperor Hongwu put aside all his thoughts and began to practice and improve the strength of the Ming Empire.

The island where the Ming Empire is located is protected by the powerful human beings of Shouyang Mountain in the open, and is secretly protected by the gods under the command of the Tianqi Rensheng Emperor, so there is no disaster or catastrophe.

It is no secret in the earthly immortal world that the ancestral land of the human race has designated a region for the human race empire that has crossed over from the heavens and the myriad worlds, allowing it to recuperate and thrive. Therefore, the island where the Ming Empire is located, demons and monsters with a little background and strength will not come to make trouble. After all, the human race has always regarded the human race heroes who have crossed over from the Ming Empire as one of the future of the human race, so those who dare to provoke a cross-border empire like the Ming Empire are provoking the bottom line of the human race. Not to mention the myriad races in the heavens, even the human race empire will not embarrass the human race empire that has just crossed over.

For example, the Tang Dynasty, which gathered the luck of the entire human race in the earthly immortal world, naturally knew of the existence of the Ming Empire, and also knew that the Ming Empire had not submitted a letter of surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

If it were any other human empire, the Tang Dynasty would certainly send troops to destroy it.

However, the Ming Empire is still in the novice protection period under the protection of the human race's ancestral land. Even if the Tang Dynasty wants to make things difficult for the Ming Empire, the human race's ancestral land will not agree.

For the ancestral land of the human race, the Tang Dynasty is the present of the human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Ming Empire is very likely to be the future of the human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The human race's ancestral land has always attached great importance to the future of the human race, even if this future is false and illusory, even if the chance of success in this future is only one in a billion. The human race's ancestral land will never allow anyone to destroy the future of the human race.
