Chapter 1106: Chapter 1054–1055 Life Simulation – Ambition Hard to Control, Burn the Boats_2 Chapter 1106: Chapter 1054–1055 Life Simulation – Ambition Hard to Control, Burn the Boats_2 “However, isn't this exactly the scenario I wanted to witness?” Pei Xuanjing rose to his feet, stood with his hands behind his back, and a gleam flashed across his eyes.
To Pei Xuanjing himself, all his efforts, assisting the Founder of the Da Ye Dynasty, were meant to provoke the latter's ambition, to escalate the calamity enshrouding the dynasty, and to attract more of the Will of Heaven and Earth. This way, once the dynasty changed hands, the gains would be much greater.
Of course, this wasn't Pei Xuanjing forcing the other's hand; all these choices stemmed from the Founder's own decisions. Pei Xuanjing merely presented the opportunities; ultimately, how to choose was still within the rights of the Founder himself.
If the other could manage to cut his losses in time, then Pei Xuanjing would not force him towards a devastating, final confrontation. Whatever decision was made, it would stem from the other's true desires.
If this Founder of the Da Ye could decisively let go, it would indeed compel Pei Xuanjing to regard him with great respect.
However, from what he observed of the whole situation in Da Xing City and the Da Ye royal family's preparations, the Founder showed no signs of giving up. He would inevitably fight a desperate final battle; otherwise, he would not be content.
Therefore, a final great war was unavoidable; it would surely be a peak clash that would affect the course of the Great Thousand Worlds' future.
“Righteous King? If you truly can achieve this, then I will not hesitate to support you once,” Pei Xuanjing thought of the message sent by his disciple, which mentioned the promise made by the Rebel King to him, and he gazed toward the horizon.
The final battle of the dynastic change wouldn't normally attract intervention from powerful forces spanning various religious sects and clans, as they generally wouldn't care much about such matters.
But this time was different. Due to Pei Xuanjing's intervention, the war of dynastic change had escalated. The power of the Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal and even the Eight Tribulations Ghost Immortal was no longer enough to control the situation, thus stronger forces would need to step forward.
As time progressed, vast armies of the rebel kings and princes marched toward Da Xing City, swiftly arriving at the gates of the Da Ye Dynasty's capital.
The majestic and formidable capital of the Da Ye Dynasty flew its banners high, yet it seemed imbued with an added sense of desolation and solitude, especially compared to the diverse flags of the surrounding rebel kings and princes.
One day, Emperor Xuanzong of Da Ye, dressed in his Emperor Robe, personally stood atop the city wall, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he gazed at the distant, vast camps.
As an Emperor who had revived a waning dynasty, even though he was prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a profound sense of loss when faced with today's dire situation.
“Father, when exactly will the Founder come out of seclusion?” The Emperor of Da Ye stood beside him, looking at the countless rebels, unable to contain his anger, wishing he could draw his sword and slaughter them all.
However, he knew that with his power, he could kill one or two, a hundred or two, even a thousand or two, but he couldn't kill all these endless rebels; likely, only the Founder and others could intervene.
“Just wait a few more days; the Founder will soon come out of seclusion. Just do your part,” Emperor Xuanzong also harbored anger, albeit not directed at the Emperor of Da Ye, but his attitude showed no improvement.
Because of the siege laid by various rebel kings and princes, the vastness of Da Xing City began to tense up. Indeed, ever since the continuous bad news started arriving not long ago, many within Da Xing City had already started leaving intermittently.
In the chaos of war, those most affected, and who faced the most upheavals, were actually the commoners. Especially in a world dominated by cultivation, ordinary people had virtually no ability to resist the invading forces.
As the Da Ye royal house fell into successive defeats, some of the wealthy families within the capital began to leave and relocate. Some sold their properties at low prices, and some even abandoned them altogether, just to avoid disaster.
Regardless of victory or defeat, after Da Xing City became a battlefield, these common people would suffer immensely, even potentially losing their lives–a common occurrence. All norms would be disrupted, and many would take advantage of the chaos to create more trouble.
Thus, any somewhat intelligent person understood that once the chaotic army entered the city, they would inevitably begin to burn, kill, and loot; this was a certainty and would not change under any circumstance.
It could be said that the current population of Da Xing City had decreased significantly, leaving only those who lacked the ability to flee and a few people of extraordinary status confident in their own strength.
Although the departure of these people caused considerable panic, Emperor Xuanzong not only didn't stop them, but also let them leave willingly.
It was not that Emperor Xuanzong was exceptionally merciful or particularly concerned about his citizens. As a ruthless emperor, he simply did not consider these matters.
His sole worry was that the upcoming siege by various Rebel Kings and Princes would inevitably be a fierce battle at the beginning, and the departure of these common people allowed him to proceed with his arrangements and setup formation techniques without any concern.
Now, Da Xing City had transformed into a massive military camp, countless formation techniques were activated, often emitting soaring killing intent and terrifying auras. These were the foundations built up by the Da Ye Dynasty, a collection of dreadful artifacts of slaughter, all of which had now been activated.
“How is Shankiao Taoist Temple doing?” Emperor Xuanzong asked the person beside him.
There was still a part of Da Xing City not under their control, and every keeper of those parts was troublesome; even now, they were not willing to break off relations with them.
Of course, they couldn't afford to sever ties, but that did not mean they didn't need to be wary and attentive, especially during this time when any situation that might affect their plans needed close monitoring.
Among the various forces within Da Xing City, the one Emperor Xuanzong was most concerned about was the Shexiao Taoist Academy, or rather, the mysterious Shenxiao True Monarch.
Towards such a powerhouse standing at the peak of the Great Thousand Worlds, even the now increasingly powerful Da Ye royal family did not dare to underestimate him.
The founding Emperor and Emperor Zhongzong of the current Da Ye Dynasty had already made their breakthroughs. Both had reached the peak of martial power and were now jointly refining a terrifying Divine Weapon, which would serve as their ultimate trump card.
However, just when the two had made their breakthroughs, Emperor Xuanzong had visited them to discuss their future plans.
Emperor Xuanzong still vividly remembered how, even after stepping into the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal Realm, standing at the peak of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Founding Emperor spoke of Shenxiao True Monarch with extreme caution.
“Sometimes, the closer you are to the mountain, the more you realize its grand and towering presence. After breaking through to the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal, I considered myself at the peak of the Great Thousand Worlds. I'm just a step away from the Immortal Realm of Immortality, but when I truly tried to probe into Shenxiao True Monarch, I still found him unfathomable, vast, and elusive,” the Founding Emperor said with a face full of caution and awe.
After breaking through to the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal, he thought his power was at its peak and was curious about the mysterious Shenxiao True Monarch.
Yet, when he actually tried to probe the other, he was repelled by a horrifying pressure before getting close, which alerted him to the potential life-threatening danger if he persisted.
As a cunning ruler who had reached this point, knowing the right time to act was his nature; he would never stubbornly proceed against his better judgment, quickly heeding to his inner feelings.
It was also for this reason that any arrogance he felt after his recent breakthrough completely dissipated, and he no longer underestimated any opponent.
“Since Shenxiao True Monarch is so terrifying, then Meng Wushang, who once contended with him, must not be much inferior. It seems I need to prepare some more trump cards,” the Founding Emperor thought to himself with caution rising in his heart.
His caution towards Shenxiao True Monarch led him to think of Meng Wushang, who had fought on par with the True Monarch. He considered this figure equally formidable, and likely, even after his recent breakthrough, he was probably not a match for him.
