Traveling through time 1 years late, I was forced to become a powerful person

Chapter 374 Forced into the Palace
Jingzhou, the imperial capital.

After the great changes in heaven and earth, the Great Xia Dynasty lost actual control over large tracts of land, leaving only three states.

Jingzhou, which possesses an incomplete humanitarian formation, is the core hinterland of the Great Xia Dynasty and the greatest reliance of the Great Xia Dynasty to maintain its rule.

The Empress Xia Yunqiu sits in the imperial capital, and as the Emperor of Man, she controls the destiny of humanity. She can activate the incomplete human formation covering Jingzhou, which is enough to suppress all practitioners below the level of refining emptiness.

This is an insurmountable natural barrier. Even the most ambitious forces can only choose to retreat when facing the Jingzhou formation.

However, as the world of Xuanhuang Realm further revived and was already large enough to accommodate the emergence of powerful void-refining masters, the incomplete humanitarian formation had become meaningless.

After the ten-day strange phenomenon disappeared, figures that looked like gods appeared from various caves and blessed places, the divine courts and dragon palaces, and descended on the land of Jingzhou across tens of thousands of miles.

There are more than twenty Lianxu Zhenjun, and their might is like the sun across the sky suppressing everything.

The incomplete human formation and the incomplete status of the Emperor of Man are simply unable to contend against so many True Lords of Refining Void.

Xia Yunqiu stood proudly in the sky wearing a scarlet gold imperial robe. With the supply of resources from the Great Xia Dynasty, she had already broken through to the realm of Return to Void. Being in the land of Jingzhou, the blessing of humanity allowed her to possess a powerful strength that was no less than that of Lord Lianxu.

Beside Xia Yunqiu, the space around Zhong Buwen of the Imperial Observatory floated, revealing his cultivation level of the Refining Void Realm.

However, the originally elegant and handsome Qin Tianjian now had white hair and beard, and his realm of refining emptiness was not stable. His body continued to lose vitality like a broken hourglass. It was obvious that in order to break through the realm of refining emptiness in the first place, he paid a huge price.

The body that had already been severely injured could hardly support itself after such a stress, even with the three thousand years of layout of the Imperial Observatory.

But Xia Yunqiu and Zhong Buwen are the only two fighters in the Void Refinement Realm of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the only remaining foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The number of True Lords of Lianxu above the sky is more than ten times that of Daxia, and there are also True Lords of Lianxu in distant places rushing towards Daxia.

Faced with so many powerful people, Xia Yunqiu did not show any fear.

"Why did you all suddenly visit my Great Xia Jingzhou? What is your intention?"

A cold voice responded from the crowd:
"Why does the Empress ask this question when she already knows the answer?"

“With the coming of the revival of heaven and earth, Daxia has completely lost control over many states in the following years.

Although the power has been lost, Daxia still has three thousand years of rule over the states and has an unquestionable legitimacy, which will affect other things. "

There was a slight pause in his speech, and the tone of the True Lord Lianxu gradually became profound.

“For example, human luck!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the True Lords of Lianxu from various forces changed slightly, and they looked straight at Xia Yunqiu with their sharp eyes.

“The destiny of humanity is the foundation of the human race in the Xuanhuang Realm. Daxia is nothing more than a corrupt imperial court that cannot even retain its rule over the Eighteen States. Naturally, it is no longer qualified to continue to monopolize the destiny of humanity.

I have come here today to ask the Empress to issue an order to abolish Daxia's rule over the eighteen states from a legal perspective, allowing the states to govern themselves, and their incense, vows, and human destiny will all be controlled by the states."

"If today's matter is accomplished, all the True Lords will turn around and leave. From now on, the Great Cave Heaven Blessed Land and the Divine Court Dragon Palace will never offend the Great Xia court in the slightest!"

Although the words of this true lord were understated, every word was heart-piercing.

The destiny of humanity is the foundation of the Humane Dynasty and the cornerstone of the throne of the Human Emperor. The major caves and blessed lands want to seize control of the destiny of humanity from Xia Yunqiu, with the intention of completely abolishing the Great Xia Dynasty.

Once Xia Yunqiu agrees, the already incomplete throne of the Human Emperor will inevitably collapse completely, and the crumbling Great Xia Dynasty will also come to an end.

By then, even if Xia Yunqiu can still occupy Jingzhou, he will be just a force at best. In essence, he is no different from the blessed land, and naturally he will no longer be regarded as a threat by the blessed land.

The expression of the Imperial Observatory changed drastically.
"How dare you! Our Great Xia is the orthodox of humanity. We are favored by humanity and should be in charge of the destiny of humanity. This has been the way it should be since ancient times.

If the emperor is unkind and the dynasty is corrupt, then the destiny of humanity will choose destiny to change the dynasty. How can it be controlled by you, the blessed land of the cave?"

A True Lord with a human head and a dragon body sneered and said:

"If Daxia had not been corrupted, how could there have been the Twilight Rebellion a few years ago, causing the Twilight Realm to invade Xuanhuang?"

Another dignified True Lord said proudly:
"This is the end of the dynasty. You were able to cultivate to the realm of refining emptiness in just ten years of spiritual energy tides. How could you not understand the reason?"

"The Humane Dynasty, which bears the great cause and effect of destroying the connection between heaven and earth, should have been swept into the dust of history long ago, just like the Dayin Dynasty thousands of years ago."

"The Great Xia Dynasty has already found a way to die!"

The attitudes displayed by many Lianxu Zhenjun from different forces at this moment were surprisingly consistent.

Such remarks made the Imperial Observatory laugh out of anger:

“Since the spiritual energy tide, Daxia has worked hard to maintain order and stability and protect thousands of people.

Instead, you are the ones who, under the guise of the demon race, invaded the lands of various states in order to seize the ruling power of various states and counties, and used this to steal the destiny of humanity and cut off the foundation of our human race. You are the real traitors to humanity!"

After the words fell, Xia Yunqiu, who had been watching coldly, spoke.

"No need to say more, Supervisor."

Xia Yunqiu looked normal, and didn't seem to be disturbed by the pressure from various forces.

Looking directly at the True Lord Lianxu who looked like a huge purple sun in the front, Xia Yunqiu asked in a dignified voice:
"May I ask True Lord Zi Yang, is today's event the will of Xiao You Qing Xu Tian?"

As he spoke, the eyes of the twenty or so True Lords Lianxu present all focused on True Lord Ziyang.

This True Lord Zi Yang was none other than the Xiaoyou Qingxu Heavenly Sect Leader of the previous spiritual energy tide era. If it weren't for the limitations of heaven and earth, he would have already broken into the Hedao realm. He was also the one with the highest status among the many True Lords present.

True Lord Zi Yang responded calmly: "This is not the will of a certain force, but the general trend of the Xuan Huang Realm. Why should the Empress go against the trend?"

"it is good!"

Xia Yunqiu swept his eyes across the various forces present, and then his gaze fell on the five gods representing the five major divine systems and said:

"If the gods are willing to withdraw, Daxia is willing to take out the incense secret treasure of the Dayin Dynasty ten thousand years ago, and worship it with Daxia's hundred years of incense."

The God from the Canghai God System sneered:
"A hundred years of offerings from Daxia? Since you can't even protect yourself today, what's the point of promising incense and offerings? Why don't we come and get it ourselves?"

Xia Yunqiu's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at the four gods with dragon heads and human bodies in the crowd.

"If the Four Rivers Dragon Palace is willing to withdraw, I can give up the Human Emperor Dragon Qi to return to the Dragon Clan and help the Four Rivers Dragon Palace rebuild the Dragon Gate."

As soon as the words fell, a Dragon Clan True Lord said sternly:

“When the spiritual energy tide just arrived, Daxia suppressed my Jidu Dragon Palace many times, and even used the power of the Supreme Taoist to seize my Jidu Dragon King’s position.

You think you can get rid of us with just the Human Emperor Dragon Qi?"

The leader, the Yellow River Dragon Palace Master, was also silent and then said coldly:

"If Daxia is willing to allow the water tribe to govern themselves, the Four Rivers Dragon Palace can withdraw from today's affairs."

"impossible!"

Xia Yunqiu rejected it outright.

The power of incense and vows is a shackle on the Four Rivers Dragon Palace. If it weren't for this shackle, the Four Rivers water creatures would be able to do anything with their character.

Xia Yunqiu doesn't want to do something that will cause long-term harm just to solve the current trouble.

Jidu Dragon Palace Master sneered coldly: "There is no sincerity at all. Is this the attitude of Daxia?" Xia Yunqiu did not speak, but looked deeper beyond this world.

As the fate of humanity lingered before her eyes, she could clearly see the other underworld separated from the present world.

At this moment, more than ten powerful ghosts and gods from the underworld came to the land of the underworld projected from the land of Jingzhou. Their cultivation aura was not inferior to that of True Lord Lianxu.

Xia Yunqiu said in a clear voice: "Daxia once had an alliance with the underworld, and I hope you can help us!"

A green-faced ghost with fangs said mercilessly: "Your so-called underworld covenant is nothing more than a covenant made with those two humans."

The red ghost shook his head and said:

"As a mere human being, what qualifications do you have to represent the underworld and sign a covenant with Daxia?"

The ghost god who looked like a mountain of flesh patted his belly and laughed:
"Don't count! Don't count!"

Xia Yunqiu remained silent. She knew very well that the underworld's refusal was not only due to the hostility of these senior ghosts and gods towards Baihu and Zhuque.

More importantly, Daxia has lost too much territory and it is difficult to provide enough incense and vows to the underworld. If these ghosts and gods in the underworld want to maintain their divine duties, they must have already had intricate ties with various major forces.

At this time, the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be placed on the dining table, waiting for various forces to hold knives and divide it up completely.

"I wonder what the Empress thinks?"

The words of True Lord Zi Yang rang out again.

Xia Yunqiu pondered for a moment, then said solemnly:

"Can you give me three days to think about it?"

"Three days?" True Lord Zi Yang smiled, and his smile was full of sarcasm that seemed to see through everything.

"The Empress wants to delay time and wait for the Supreme Daoist to arrive, right?

To tell you the truth, the Supreme Daoist had already gone to the Qilian Mountains a month ago and had been confronting the five demon kings outside the Qilian Demon Realm for a full month. He simply couldn't get away in a short period of time."

“And even if the Supreme Daoist really suppressed the five demon kings, what would happen?
There were as many as twenty-seven True Lords of Lianxu present, and each of them represented a powerful force that was well-known in the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if the Supreme Taoist came in person, he would have to give way.

What we represent is the general trend of the Xuanhuang Realm, and no one can go against it!"

"Really?"

The plain voice seemed to echo across layers of space and above the sky of Jingzhou.

As the mirror-like space shattered, a fairy-like figure in white clothes, with his hands behind his back, walked out from the void.

"When will you be able to represent the trend of Xuanhuang Realm?"

Shen Yuan swept his gaze across the many Lianxu Zhenjun present. Without any magical power or pressure, it made many powerful people present feel a chill in their hearts. They subconsciously took a step back and dared not look him in the eye.

"Supreme Daoist, why are you here?"

The arrogance on Master Zi Yang's face had completely faded away, and there was even a hint of barely perceptible fear in his eyes.

On the surface, there are only five demon kings in charge of the Qilian Demon Realm, but True Lord Zi Yang, who is the former head of Xiaoyou Qingxu Zhitian, knows better than anyone what kind of horrible killing situation there is in the Qilian Demon Realm.

A killing formation that uses the entire Qilian Demon Realm as a sacrifice, a demon saint at the peak of the Hedao realm, and a Hedao Taoist who carries the Ten Realms Soul-Chasing Altar.

Such a lineup is enough to destroy most of the forces in the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, this killing plan set up for the Supreme Taoist did not work, and the Supreme Taoist still appeared in the capital of Daxia.

"Could it be that he didn't enter the Qilian Demon Realm at all?"

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, True Lord Zi Yang heard a whisper that seemed to be very close.

"What are you afraid of?"

True Lord Zi Yang suddenly woke up. Shen Yuan, who had appeared out of thin air, had already approached him at some point, his eyes lowered with deep meaning.

The many Lianxu True Lords who were originally surrounding Zi Yang True Lord all turned into lights and fled away from this place, with uncontrollable fear in their eyes.

Only a few True Lords from the five major pantheons and the Four Rivers Dragon Palace remained where they were, but there was fear in their eyes.

Jidu Dragon Palace Master gritted his teeth and said sternly:
"He is no longer the supreme Taoist who dominated the world thousands of years ago. He has been unable to defeat the five demon kings of Qilian Demon Realm. We don't need to be afraid of anything anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a round object fell from the void in front of True Lord Zi Yang.

It was an old head, which exuded an almost tangible Taoist charm. As the head appeared, it seemed as if the scene of sunset was about to appear here.

“The remains of the Hedao, this is the Cangwu Demon Saint!”

True Lord Zi Yang recognized the origin of the head at a glance and could no longer suppress the horror in his heart.

"What? Cangwu Demon Saint?"

"That peak demon saint from ten thousand years ago is still alive?"

"That head came from the Cangwu Demon Saint. Was it the Supreme Taoist who killed him?"

True Lord Zi Yang's words exploded like a thunderclap, and many True Lords Lian Xu were in an uproar.

Originally, they were afraid of the Supreme Taoist, but it was only because of the various legends from tens of thousands of years ago and the battle records from several years ago. In fact, deep down, they did not think that the Supreme Taoist alone could pose a threat to the more than 20 True Lords of Refining Void present.

But now, the head of a demon saint who has lived for ten thousand years is placed before everyone, which has made everyone realize the reality before them.

All parties received the news before arriving at the imperial capital that the Supreme Taoist was still confronting the five demon kings in the Qilian Mountains.

However, in just a few hours, the Supreme Taoist accomplished the feat of killing a Hedao Demon Saint without any harm himself.

Just when many True Lords were in doubt, a space fluctuation suddenly appeared in the crowd. The Dragon True Lord from Jidu Dragon Palace tore open the space crack and tried to escape without any hesitation.

If we were to ask which force present has the deepest grudge against the Supreme Taoist, it would undoubtedly be the Jidu Dragon Palace.

In addition, since he had been the first to speak out, once the Supreme Taoist chose to take action, the outcome would be still unknown. However, the True Lord who came from the Jidu Dragon Palace would inevitably be the first to be liquidated, and his only chance of survival would be to escape.

“Smart choice.”

Shen Yuan looked at the opened space crack, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"What a pity, it's useless!"

Earthly Evil·Hutian!

The space crack that could have allowed him to escape suddenly turned into a terrifying void storm. The powerful force that was enough to give birth to a realm expanded at this moment and easily crushed the Dragon Lord who was trying to escape.

Then, Shen Yuan looked down at the many True Lords present.

"You all here, do you want to return the authority to the states?"
