Infinite war begins with Cao thief.

Chapter 412 Black Myth: Sui and Tang Dynasties

Dong Huang's performance on the history of Sui and Tang dynasties was not ideal.

But Dong Huang had many people under his command who were well versed in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

For example, Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao was a talented woman who was well-read in poetry and literature, but Dong Huang had no shortage of talented women under his command.

The greatest value of a talented woman is not her mastery of classics and history, but her ability to compose poems and couplets when she is proficient in them.

Talent is also a kind of sentiment and even more a kind of style.

Ornate words are always more exciting than simple babbling nonsense.

Whenever Dong Huang visited talented women like Cai Zhaoji and Li Qingzhao, he always liked to let them face the mirror while composing poems and singing about their own personal experiences.

This is much more exciting than those selfies, candid photos and videos.

However, Dong Huang would easily forget his important tasks when faced with any stimulating situations.

The result is often that Li Qingzhao's Trinity was mastered, but Dong Huang still did not learn much about the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties from her.

However, when Dong Huang received a new task prompt, he suddenly felt that it would be better not to learn the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

[Quest World: Black Myth: Sui and Tang Dynasties (High Martial Arts Fairy)]

The name of this mission is different from the introduction in the previous mission world. When introduced in the previous mission world, it was simply called "The Struggle for Supremacy in the Sui and Tang Dynasties (High Martial Arts)", but this world directly changed it to "Black Myth" and "High Martial Arts Fairy Heroes".

There is no doubt that the level of this mission world has been upgraded and the danger is absolutely incomparable.

The introduction of the mission also proved Dong Huang's guess.

[World background: Since the end of the Han Dynasty, China's fortune has declined. The Sima family brought disaster to the country and the people, leading to the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. The evil barbarians brought chaos to China. The losers of the ancient war of gods turned into demons to stir up trouble. Foreign monsters turned into Hufos and watched covetously. The achievements of the First Emperor of Qin who cut down mountains and destroyed temples and the two Han dynasties who slayed demons and eliminated evil were all destroyed in one day!
Although the Great Sui Dynasty was established and the world was unified, it failed to eradicate the evil spirit, clear up the universe, and restore the glory of the human race. Instead, a new crisis was brewing because of the Sui Emperor Yang Guang's vanity!
At this time, various forces are ready to make a move, and a bloody and cruel struggle for supremacy is about to unfold around the supreme authority of Shenzhou. 】

[Main Quest——The Human Race Should Prosper! ]

【Task Introduction：
When the earth was still barren, humanity's will to survive was already endless.

As human beings, we should serve the human race with all our strength!
Before the ninety-nine-year mission ends, kill at least three alien war agents.

Every time you kill a foreign war agent or complete a war mission, you will be rewarded with war points, and you will also receive rewards in terms of arms and skills depending on the difficulty of the mission. 】

[Mission failed: Eradication! ]

[Special reminder, this mission world is a chaotic battle mission world. Whether you kill creatures from the enemy's war agent forces or indigenous creatures (mythical level three and above), there is a chance to improve the qualifications of the war agent and his subordinates. The stronger the strength and higher the qualifications of the target, the greater the improvement you will get!
Kill demons, ghosts, immortals, Buddhas, gods and witches, and you will have a chance to obtain their qualifications and magical powers!
This mission world has been upgraded by integrating multiple world mission cards, and the difficulty has increased again!

The world of this mission is in a period of rising spiritual energy, and many small worlds of blessed places have appeared!
There is a small chance that golden elixir, godhood, and relics exist in this mission world! 】

[Solemn reminder: Don’t ascend! Don’t ascend! Don’t ascend! ]

[Warm Tips: People below the mythical level or those at the mythical level but weak will have a high chance of being oppressed to death by the density of spiritual energy in this world if they enter this world! ]

[Initial identity: Due to the influence of many factors such as the fate of the emperor, the initial identity of the war agent should be the emperor. Because the fate of the Sui Dynasty is still strong, the war agent cannot descend into the Sui Dynasty and become the emperor.

Due to the influence of other national fortunes and personal authority attached to the war agent, the identity of the war agent is one of the main gods of Yingzhou - Sanguizi Taiyi! 】

[Side quest released: Three expeditions to Goryeo! ]

[Mission Description: It is the seventh year of Daye. Next year, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty will launch his first expedition against Goguryeo. This will be the war with the largest number of elite troops since the founding of the Sui Dynasty! ]

[Mission Reward: Defeating the Sui army will earn you a large amount of war points, merits, and reputation! At the same time, you can annex part of the Great Sui's luck and gain a very high legitimacy bonus! Defeating Goryeo will also earn you war points, merits, and reputation, and you can also gain part of Goryeo's luck! ]

(General situation map of Emperor Yang of Sui's conquest of Goryeo)

[Side quest released: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! ]

[Mission Description: This world is a carnival for demons and ghosts. The East China Sea is a paradise for all kinds of demons and ghosts. In Yingzhou, hundreds of ghosts roam at night. If you don't subdue them, you will be attacked by them in the end!]

[Task Rewards: Killing monsters will earn you war points and upgrade your qualifications. The bodies of monsters are also good materials for refining equipment, refining pills, and casting spells!]

[Side quest released: Queen's Era! ]

[Mission Description: In this era, empresses appeared in Yingzhou, Silla, and Tang! A hen crowing at dawn may not be a good sign! Find them, conquer them, whip them, and let them know who is the real master! ]

[Task Rewards: Improved national fortune, improved legitimacy, and improved qualifications of concubines in the harem! ]

[Other notes: omitted...]

This mission world and the main and side missions contained so much information that Dong Huang didn't know where to start for a moment.

In short, this world is a complete fantasy world and it must not be viewed with the previous perspective.

Monsters, ghosts, losers in the ancient war of gods, Hoover...

These elements always give Dong Huang a sense of déjà vu.

"Could it really be as I thought..."

Dong Huang had a bold guess, but because it was too bold, he didn't dare to think about it.

"The missions in this mission world are also problematic. Killing the war agents and the indigenous creatures will improve their qualifications. This is forcing the war agents to go on a killing spree!"

"Killing three alien war agents may not seem like much, but how can there be so many aliens in Shenzhou? Now we are forcing the war agents to expand outward! If we want to expand outward, the universe must be unified, otherwise how dare we cause trouble for the alien war agents?"

"So for most war agents, the prerequisite is to join a faction, achieve unification as soon as possible, and then expand the territory. This also means... the second phoenix will receive an epic enhancement?"

"Of course, there are probably more people who want to kill him. The rewards for killing Li Er are definitely very rich. Not only will there be war points, but also improvements in qualifications and other aspects. Whether it is military strength, strategy, politics or lust, Li Er is the best in this era!"

"The side quest of the Three Expeditions to Goryeo is also very urgent and tempting! I'm afraid that many war agents of the Zhuxia God System have received tasks such as defeating Goryeo? I'm afraid that Goryeo's war agents have also received the task of defeating Sui Emperor Yang Guang. We must join this feast."

"However, the most urgent task now is to determine the location of the location, test the strength of the elite in this world, release the army as soon as possible, and determine the strategic deployment!"

Dong Huang quickly gathered his thoughts and decided to call out all the external brains as soon as possible to arrange the next steps.

The mission deadline for this world is ninety-nine years, so there is definitely a lot to be done.

When Dong Huang calmed down and was about to take action, he heard a creaking sound, and the door opened, and a mature and beautiful woman with noble temperament walked in.

The woman had a charming yet dignified and beautiful face, with bright eyes and fair skin like snow. There were traces of time between her eyebrows, but she did not look old. Instead, she had a unique and mature charm.

It's like meeting a mature and sexy female teacher when you are just starting to fall in love, or like meeting a mature female chairman who has been in a high position for a long time when you just started working.

The woman wore a golden oath on her head and a glittering twelve-piece dress. The cloud-like embroidery highlighted her noble status and graceful figure.

He was holding a fan in his hand, and his fingers holding the fan were clean and slender, with no nails on his index and middle fingers.

After the charming lady came in, a maid closed the door and she knelt on the ground, praying devoutly: "Honorable Amaterasu, Moon Blasting, Taiichi, the descendants of the Japanese Emperor Otabe, ask the gods for mercy. If I have blasphemed, please punish me and forgive my sins!"

After saying this, the charming lady lifted up her skirt...

Dong Huang:......

Is this a show that you can watch without money?

It’s even more exciting than when I first arrived in the Song, Liao, Jin and Xia world!
[However, the Empress...]

Dong Huang's knowledge of Yingzhou's history is far less than that of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but since the other party claims to be the emperor, there is no doubt that he is the Queen of Yingzhou in the side quest.

At this point in time, it should be the first female emperor in Japanese history, Empress Suiko.

In ancient times, Japanese emperors generally had two posthumous titles, one was Japanese style and the other was Chinese style. Empress Suiko's posthumous title was Chinese style. Her Japanese style posthumous title was Toyomishukiyahime Emperor.

This Japanese posthumous title,

In fact, this seems to be the case.

"Ah~"

Dong Huang also saw his situation clearly - he had actually become a statue in the Yingzhou Temple.

There are three statues in this shrine. The one in the middle is Amaterasu, the one on the left of Amaterasu is Yuedu, and the one on the right of Amaterasu is Dong Huang, also known as the great god Taiyi.

At this time, the great god Taiyi was staring at the Queen of Yingzhou, but Dong Huang could not see clearly because of the angle and the complicated clothes.

"How dare you, a slut, blaspheme against God!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Dong Huang shouted angrily, and the stone fragments on his body fell off, revealing Dong Huang's true form.

“Tai…Taiichi God…Ah…!”

The startled female emperor shuddered.

But this time, due to great fear, she could only kneel at Dong Huang's feet, kowtow and confess her guilt tremblingly.

I felt pity for his miserable appearance.

"My...my God...I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again...I beg you, my God, to give me a chance!"

The first female emperor of Yingzhou burst into tears.

Clearly, when she first offered herself before the gods, she drew lots here and it showed a good luck, so she dared to come to the temple again and again to pray to the gods for blessings. But who could have thought that the gods would really appear!

The Empress was terrified when she thought about how she had done this many times in the temple.

She is afraid of death.

She was even more afraid that her life would be worse than death. She was also afraid that her soul would not rest in peace after death!

But, this is really not her fault!
Who would have thought that Taiyi God, one of the three noble sons, who usually had no reaction and was not as effective as the grass-headed gods in the wilderness, would actually show up today!

[Could it be that this is the correct way to pray to God? ]

For a moment, the empress actually had such a ridiculous idea.

However, no matter how ridiculous it was, she did guess right.

As soon as Dong Huang had an idea, Jiuer understood it immediately. She immediately tied up the tablets of Amaterasu and Yuedu, placed Yuedu in the position where Dong Huang was before, and placed Amaterasu in the position of Yuedu, leaving the main seat for Dong Huang.

Amaterasu: You will regret this!

Dong Huang: I am the Lord God!

Yingzhou has a tradition of the weak overthrowing the strong. After receiving help from Yue Du Renxing in the previous world, Dong Huang had succeeded to some extent.

Even if he arrived in Takama-ga-hara, he was the common husband of Amaterasu and Tsukiyomizu. Based on this identity alone, who dared to say that he was not the main god of Takama-ga-hara?
After changing the shrine, Dong Huang sat carelessly on the main seat, glanced at the female emperor coldly, and said, "Shouldn't it be common sense to show your breasts when admitting your mistakes?"

Empress: ???

The empress was stunned for a moment and blushed, but she did not hesitate at all.

She obediently began to undress herself layer by layer, as if peeling garlic.

[Perhaps this is really the etiquette of Takama-hara's apology... Even if it's not, it's good to be able to conceive with Taichi's blood! ]

The Empress was very excited.

While taking off her clothes, she flirted with him with all her seductive eyes - Hime Chikiya's husband was the previous emperor, so she was able to become the first female emperor in the history of Yingzhou!

But Dong Huang only wanted to punish her and didn't want to reward her at all.

What happened to the Queen?
Why should I be rewarded?

Thus, the great battle that the empress had been looking forward to eventually turned into Dong Huang sitting firmly on the ground, not leaving his house.

You know everything.

The Queen has never been punished like this.

The Empress is going crazy.

She finally understood the consequences of angering the gods.

She wanted to ask for forgiveness from the gods, but she was afraid of further angering them, so she did not dare to speak.

After a quick finish, the empress, who was almost going crazy, cleaned Dong Huang's feet herself =>(ˊ０ˋ), tidied her clothes, and then prostrated herself on the ground, answering the questions of the gods and their subordinates obediently.

Her question also explains why she can only let herself go in the temple.

"Demons live together, hundreds of ghosts roam at night, and the imperial power is lost..."

Jia Xu concluded, squinting his eyes and stroking his beautiful beard.

Yingzhou in this world, and even the entire world, is infested with demons and monsters. It's just that in some places humans are respected, in some places humans live together as mixed groups, and in some places humans are slaves and food of the demons and monsters.

The situation in Yingzhou is almost a mixture of humans and demons.

Yingzhou claims to have eight million gods, but in fact they are just eight million demons and monsters. Amaterasu, Yuedu and Taiyi in this world are theoretically also one of the eight million gods, but they have not appeared for a long time.

According to the female Empress Seafood Princess, they encountered an invasion of demons during the period of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China in this world. Although the three noble sons finally defended the royal family and repelled the invading demons, they never responded to the call of the royal family again.

From the previous main god who would grant all wishes to the current empress who would force all wishes to be granted, it seems like only a difference of one word, but it foreshadows the further decline of royal Shintoism.

Without the protection of the gods, the imperial power in Yingzhou naturally began to fall into the hands of others. Powerful families such as the Soga clan and the Mononobe clan seized power and even worshipped various demons and monsters as gods.

In the beginning, people mostly worshipped local demons and monsters as gods, which was pretty much the same. But later, the Soga clan took a different approach and worshipped the god from the far west - Buddha!

The head of the Soga clan, Soga no Umako, built the earliest Buddhist temple in Yingzhou - Hokyoji!

Even Prince Shotoku, a member of the royal family in power, began to believe in Buddhism, and cooperated with the Soga clan to almost wipe out the Shinto Mononobe clan.

Afterwards, Soga no Umako instigated Tokai Naokoma to murder Emperor Sushun, and afterwards supported his niece Empress Suiko, the empress who is now a stepping stone for Dong Huang, to ascend the throne and took control of the court power.

Nowadays, the main power in the Yingzhou court is actually in the hands of Soga no Umako and Prince Shotoku. The empress can only avoid being monitored in this shrine.

If she were to be branded as a concubine in the harem by those monk soldiers, her life would be in danger, and she might even be made into a flesh lotus.

"Buddhism flourished, or should I say Western religion flourished?"

Fa Zheng pondered.

Sui and Tang Dynasties, demons, Buddhism...it's hard not to think in this direction.

In some myths and legends, Buddhism only truly flourished in China after Xuanzang traveled west to seek Buddhist scriptures, and this is connected with some myths about Journey to the West and prehistoric times.

The Buddhism at this time was not the Buddhism in the later sense of Blue Star. The Buddhists at this time were more like the Hindu Brahmins and enjoyed economic privileges. Monks not only did not engage in production and did not perform military service or labor, but also had a large number of servants and land, and even had monk soldiers, and pursued political status.

In the history of Blue Planet, Buddhism did not enter the localization stage until the four destructions of Buddhism by the Three Wus and One Zong, and then it integrated Confucianism and Taoism.

But there are demons in this time and space, which makes it very uncomfortable.

It's not like there's another Journey to the West, is it?

"It shouldn't reach that level, right?"

This is also what Dong Huang has always been worried about.

"Not really. I have just released the ghost of Otsutsuki Hamura to test it. There is no place near the capital, except for Hokyoji Temple, that he cannot enter."

Jia Xu quickly reported the results of his investigation.

In the previous mission world, the ones who benefited the most were not the three goddesses of Empress Dowager He or Concubine Yan who had received epic enhancements, but Jia Xu who had always been as steady as a rock and Fa Zheng whose life was threatened at any time.

In the previous mission world, Jia Xu obtained the soul of the god of death with some divinity. That soul was at the quasi-six-path level, equivalent to the peak evaluation of the sixth level of mythology. Now it has been refined by Jia Xu into the core of the incarnation and ghost army formation.

In addition, Jia Xu also got the residual soul of Otsutsuki Hamura, which is also a quasi-mythical sixth-level residual soul. Now it has been nurtured by Jia Xu to the level of just entering the mythical sixth level.

Fa Zheng obtained the residual soul of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, which is equivalent to the peak of the sixth level of mythology. This is a life-saving trump card given to him by Dong Huang, so that if he dies accidentally, at least his soul will be protected by someone.

After all, Fa Zheng had too many enemies. Even though she didn't do much in the last world, she still had a mortal enemy, Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan even prepared 600 billion detonating talismans for her...

Ghosts are still very useful in Jia Xu's domain. Just now, Jia Xu asked the residual soul of Otsutsuki Hamura to take a large number of residual souls out to explore, and they quickly understood the surrounding situation.

"Hokoji, isn't it the temple built by the Soga clan to enshrine Buddha statues?"

Dong Huang had already known the past and present of Faxing Temple from the Seafood Queen.

The first Buddha statue in Yingzhou was the Maitreya Buddha statue and the Joyful Buddha statue that Soga no Umako brought from Baekje. These statues are now enshrined in Hokkoji Temple.

Faxing Temple is a temple where monks and nuns live together. Huibian, a Korean monk, is the abbot of the temple. Sima Dao, the daughter of Sima Dadeng, a Han Chinese from the Liang Dynasty, became a nun and took the Buddhist name Shanxin. Shanxin also has two disciples, Chanzang and Huishan.

"My God, Hokyoji Temple is the place where the Soga clan worships evil gods. However, there may not only be evil gods inside. They have also subjugated many other gods over the years. They are very powerful. My God, please be careful."

The Queen couldn't help but interrupt.

Even though Dong Huang humiliated her by forcing her not to leave the house, the Seafood Queen still enjoyed it.

In any case, her god finally appeared again, and as soon as he appeared, he summoned so many subordinates, as if he was going to destroy the Soga clan and the evil god. How could she not be happy!

But after the happiness comes worry.

She was afraid that her god would not be able to defeat the enemy.

When the Mononobe clan was destroyed, they assembled a hundred thousand divine troops, but they were easily wiped out by the enemy.

"How strong?"

Dong Huang was still a little curious.

Although Dong Huang almost killed his way through the entire mission space in the five mission worlds and made a lot of money, this still did not change his cautious character.

He knew the nature of space very well. Space almost exploited the war agents and forced them to grow. In the previous mission world, they could be called the elite among the elites, but in the next mission world, it would be good enough if they could become regular soldiers.

In each mission world, the power system is at least one or two levels higher than the previous mission world, and these are conventional powers.

There is no way to compare unconventional powers, such as the Blue Dragon Seven Stars in the Qin world and Kaguya Otsutsuki in the Naruto world. These cannot be defeated by normal power.

Therefore, Dong Huang was not afraid of a fair battle between two armies, because he believed that the elite in his own army was enough to resist the elite in this world. What he was afraid of were some unconventional forces such as the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I just found out that many of the so-called gods in this country are only at the second or third level of mythology. There are very few gods at the fourth level, no more than a hundred. The elite soldiers of this country are also basically at the second and third levels of mythology! In the entire city, except for the Faxing Temple, there are less than 200 people who have reached the fourth level of mythology.

According to this strength ratio, how strong can the guys in Hokyoji be? At most, they are only at the sixth level of mythology? Otherwise, how could they tolerate the existence of so-called gods of a large number of alien beliefs in Yingzhou? How could their influence still rely on the Soga clan to go beyond the capital?
I even suspect that the reason why the evil Buddha, with the support of the Soga clan, is still expanding slowly and not even daring to destroy your majesty's temple and become the state religion is probably not only because of the lack of monks, but also because their evil Buddha was injured in the previous battle or lacked strength! "

The shrewd Jia Xu deduced.

"Since we have come here, we must destroy these local forces. I can't just lead you all to flee without a fight, right? Let's go straight away. Xiaozhi will lead the troops to occupy the capital. As for the Faxing Temple, I will lead the troops there myself!"

Dong Huang had been emperor for a hundred years. His previous hesitation was due to his fear of too great a loss, but once he made up his mind, he was very decisive.
