The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1102

Chapter 1102: Chapters 1050–1051: Life Simulation–Fighting for Time The Confidence to Restart_2 Chapter 1102: Chapters 1050–1051: Life Simulation–Fighting for Time The Confidence to Restart_2 Even if they lose everything now, as long as they win the final battle, everything lost can be reclaimed anew.

Even using the words of Emperor Taizu, without these religious sects and noble families blocking the way, even if the battle smoke rises everywhere, it would be no big deal for me to once again wield a three-foot green blade and sweep across the universe, reclaiming the world all over again.

This is the confidence of a pioneer. He believes that without external influences, even if he has to start over, he can still win and become the ultimate victor.

Many powerhouses have such confidence. Although they value their foundations, they are not overly concerned about them, confident that even if they smash these bottles and jars, they can still acquire something better.

For those in the Da Ye Dynasty right now, what they want to do is to win at all costs, even if it means a pyrrhic victory, to instill fear in the opponent, make them weigh the pros and cons, and thus, fight for a glimmer of hope for themselves.

So, in the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong, their opponents are not just the Rebel Kings, but also time.

Because these religious sects and noble families have clearly realized this, they have seen through the plans and goals of the Da Ye royal family, and hence, they are advancing their attacks at all costs.

Both sides are racing against time, vying for every moment.

All cultivators and martial artists in Central State have been drawn into this turmoil, with some falling and their grievances making the calamitous energy even more potent, while others use this opportunity to achieve breakthroughs and tread further on their cultivation path.

The aim of the Da Ye royal family is to concentrate all their strength in the final battle. The rest of the provinces are just a means to delay time; whether they can hold their ground or not is irrelevant.

Therefore, according to Emperor Xuanzong's plan, the time for each province to hold is fixed. Once the expected duration is reached, if further delays would mean loss of strength, he would decisively order a retreat and give up the provinces.

Thus, while it seems that Rebel Kings are continuously conquering lands and the Da Ye Dynasty is being forced to retreat, in reality, the vital forces of the dynasty are being preserved without much damage.

On the other hand, as the Rebel Kings, along with the apparent weakening of Da Ye, gain control over less territory, their attitudes change as their power increases.

At first, with a common goal and a formidable opponent before them, they could set aside personal interests and temporarily unite and cooperate.

But now, as their influence has expanded, these Rebel Kings have become swollen with pride, believing that the Da Ye Dynasty poses no significant threat and that its downfall is imminent.

The once collaborators, other Rebel Kings, have become their competitors, their biggest threat.

The Rebel Kings who have made it this far have not only been instigated by the noble families and religious sects behind them but also possess immense ambition, intent on overthrowing the Da Ye Dynasty and establishing their dominion.

Now that the fall of Da Ye seems near, these Rebel Kings have started to focus on their opponents, and various overt and covert struggles have begun to emerge.

Actually, it's not just now; one could say that during the attack of these Rebel Kings, such instances have always been occurring, never once stopping.

Originally, there were over a dozen Rebel Kings who took up arms, but as time changed, some were crushed by the Da Ye Dynasty, others were absorbed by fellow Rebel Kings, and now only four or five remain.

Among these Rebel Kings, one is known as the Righteous King, ranking among the top three forces of the many Rebel Kings, and Sun Liang, a disciple sent by Pei Xuanjing, happens to serve there.

It must be said that the rivers and lakes are where one can truly temper oneself. Originally, under Pei Xuanjing's tutelage, and with a profound foundation, within just a few short years of joining the struggle of dynasty succession, Sun Liang had transformed his foundation into combat power, achieving several breakthroughs.

With the strength of a peak Martial Saint and having survived three Thunder Tribulations as a Ghost Immortal, he is part of the upper echelon in the forces of the Righteous King, even though he is the latest to have joined these people.

However, sometimes seniority becomes a barrier, but when one's merits are significant enough, seniority simply cannot hold them back.

After joining the Righteous King, Sun Liang was always the first to charge into battle, braving the forefront. Rising from an unknown and insignificant soldier, he accumulated merits through numerous battles, which naturally led to rapid promotion.

Perhaps at other times, he might have faced suppression, but during the initial stage of any group's creation, it is the fastest time for promotion, and no one could stop Sun Liang's advancement.

And when his achievements and status reached a certain level, even though Sun Liang deliberately concealed his identity, someone eventually saw through it, and the Righteous King himself became aware that his ranks included a big fish.

The supporter behind the Righteous King was none other than the Dao of Supreme, backing him to this day.

But as he grew stronger and his understanding of the truths of Heaven and Earth became clearer, the Righteous King also understood his own identity and purpose.

He knew that he was like the heroes vying for power after the fall of the previous Da Xu Dynasty. Even if he were to be as successful as the founder of the Da Ye Dynasty, after centuries of dynastic changes, today's Da Ye Dynasty was the future of himself.

As the saying goes, without long-term concerns there will be immediate worries. Even though the Righteous King had not yet become the ultimate victor among the various Rebel Kings to replace the Da Ye Dynasty and establish a new one, as one of the most competitive contenders, he indeed had the right to consider such matters.

Although he rose with the support of the Dao of Supreme, he was clear that once he truly succeeded in establishing a new dynasty, he and the Dao of Supreme must inevitably end this honeymoon period and become strangers, or even adversaries.

This was irrevocable for anyone unless one was willing to be manipulated, or the Dao of Supreme was willing to let go of their agenda, allowing the dynasty he would establish in the future to continue to prosper.

Since neither will could be changed, the Righteous King needed to focus on the future and begin planning for future situations to grow stronger and free himself from control.

So when he learned that he had an extraordinary person in his ranks, naturally, certain ideas arose in his heart.

As an ambitious man aiming for dominance, there are many things one can be ignorant of, but the powerhouses that can influence the worldly affairs of Heaven and Earth must be understood.

The name of Shenxiao True Monarch, the Immortal Taoist, was very familiar to the Righteous King. He knew that although this individual did not have as many followers as the Dao of Supreme or the Creation Dao, he was a powerhouse who stood at the pinnacle of the universe by himself, surpassing countless cultivators.

Therefore, the Righteous King had also thought about finding an opportunity to establish ties with Shenxiao True Monarch, but unfortunately, there had never been a chance.

Now that he had learned that a disciple of Shenxiao True Monarch was under his command, although he did not know why the other party had chosen him, whether it was Sun Liang's own decision or Shenxiao True Monarch saw potential in him as a point of contact, such an ambitious figure would definitely not miss any opportunity.

“Your subordinate pays respects to Your Highness, the Righteous King,” Sun Liang said as he bowed with a fist salute to the Righteous King.

Originally on inspection duty, Sun Liang received a message that the Righteous King wanted to see him. He then handed over his duties to his deputy and went to meet the Righteous King with a few personal guards.

Today's Sun Liang was no longer the novice he had been at first. Years of campaigning and experience had matured him greatly, and with his rising status, many had gathered under his command.

Naturally, those trusted by him were the personal guards around him, because they all came from the same place, the ShenxiaoTaoist Temple.

As he ventured out to gain experience and as many disciples of the ShenxiaoTaoist Temple reached a certain realm in their cultivation, quite a few thought of taking action. Without other directions to choose from, joining Sun Liang, their senior brother, was an almost instinctive choice.

Over the years, not a few disciples from the ShenxiaoTaoist Temple had gathered under his command, most of whom he had personally taught. Although they had no formal master-disciple titles, they had a genuine master-disciple relationship, so he trusted them deeply.
