Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 68
Chapter 68: The Hundred Dynasties War Begins
Buzz!
A buzzing sound rang out. On Hundred Dynasties Mountain, three pillars of light lit up. Following this, imperial cultivator leaders from various empires slowly emerged.
At the center were those from the Leizhou Dynasty. At first glance, there were many Transformation God Stage cultivators; at least eight.
Yunzhou also had seven.
Qingzhou had the fewest, only one, and it wasn’t even from Qingzhou; it was Zhou Qitian, the Sovereign of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The strength disparity between the Three States was clearly evident at this moment.
Ye Fan, who could be considered the sole ruler of Qingzhou, was as docile as a child in front of Zhou Qitian and the others.
“That’s Ye Xuan? ” Zhou Qitian glanced toward the Qingzhou Alliance, asking.
“Yes, that’s my son, Ye Xuan. ” Ye Fan stepped forward and spoke, his face brimming with pride.
Zhou Qitian merely glanced at him indifferently, his gaze falling on Ye Yu. After a long moment, he chuckled playfully, “Your judgment is quite good. ”
Ye Fan seemed completely oblivious to the sarcasm in Zhou Qitian’s words, his face still full of pride.
There were no pleasantries; they quickly began distributing the identity tokens. All the empires were eager to obtain the Dao Artifact.
When it was Ye Yu’s turn, only four tokens remained for the Great Qin Dynasty. Qin Ruoxian, who was ahead in line, took one.
Originally, the Great Qin Dynasty had ten spots, but they had been forced to give five to the Great Yan Dynasty.
Ye Yu took the token and examined it.
This token was rather special. It could be considered a type of unique storage ring. Resources obtained in the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield would be collected into this token and converted into points.
Finally, the results of the Hundred Dynasties War and resource allocation would be determined by the score on the token.
The Hundred Dynasties Battlefield possessed a unique aura, so forgery was impossible.
Taking the token, Ye Yu took a deep breath and then transformed into a stream of light, rushing into the spatial rift.
Qin Wushuang watched this scene and finally let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Ye Yu put him at ease.
“Tsk tsk, Sovereign Qin, knowing you couldn’t even gather enough people, those three spots would have been better given to my Great Yan Dynasty. ” Ye Fan sneered, looking at the three remaining identity tokens at the registration office.
Hearing this, Si Tu Guang and several people’s expressions immediately darkened.
“Hehe, Sovereign Ye, some things aren’t decided by numbers. ” Qin Wushuang chuckled lightly.
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, his eyes becoming playful. He said, “It seems you’re quite confident in that good-for-nothing. I just wonder how long that good-for-nothing can survive inside. ”
“What do you mean! ” Qin Wushuang’s expression changed, questioning.
“Nothing much. It’s the Hundred Dynasties War; a few deaths are normal, aren’t they? ” Ye Fan chuckled faintly, then turned and left, leaving Qin Wushuang with a livid face.
As soon as he stepped into the spatial rift, Ye Yu felt an extremely strong smell of bl00d.
After passing through, even Ye Yu couldn’t help but gasp at the sight.
In his past life, Ye Yu had not been able to enter the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield. This was his first time seeing this ancient battlefield.
As far as the eye could see, there were traces of a great battle: the earth was broken, buildings collapsed, and bones were visible everywhere. Even the ground was still crimson.
Just how fierce was the battle that had once erupted here?
Currently, Ye Yu hadn’t seen any records of the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield, and didn’t know what had happened in this place.
After adjusting his mentality, Ye Yu looked for the direction and headed towards the area where a Dao Artifact was suspected to have appeared.
At present, the major empires should not have the intention of collecting resources.
Sure enough, when Ye Yu arrived, the area’s outer perimeter was already filled with people. Before them stood a stele.
This stele indicated that beyond it lay unexplored territory.
Ye Yu looked around, finding no trace of the Ten Great Super Empires, nor even the Phoenix Dynasty and other stronger empires.
“Have they already gone in? ” Ye Yu murmured. Just as he was about to enter, a commotion arose from below.
Ye Yu looked and saw that the Qingzhou Alliance had been pushed to the forefront by others, forcing them to go first.
Ye Qingshuang’s face was livid. Just now, she had witnessed an Imperial Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage enter the area before them and be swallowed by an exotic beast. The speed was too fast to react to.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yu understood. Naturally, the powerful empires wouldn’t send anyone to scout the way. They were confident in their strength and aimed to seize the initiative.
But for the remaining weaker empires, the spineless Qingzhou Alliance became the perfect vanguard.
Faced with the pressure from surrounding forces, the people of the Qingzhou Alliance were all livid but unable to resist. They could only grit their teeth and stand there in humiliation.
“Alright, everyone, you’ve all given us the first opportunity. You’ve been very considerate. Let’s go first. ” At this moment, Ye Xuan spoke with a smile.
The people from the Yunlei Two States were surprised, but then smiled faintly. This fellow was very discerning.
“Alright, the Great Yan Dynasty has spoken. What are you all hesitating for! ” A cultivator from Leizhou said.
He then grabbed a Golden Core Late Stage prince and threw him in.
Roar!
The instant the prince landed, a roar came from underground. Then, an exotic beast tens of meters tall sprang out and swallowed him whole, before he could even scream.
The faces of those watching turned pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Ye Yu looked at the exotic beast and frowned. This beast was only at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage; it wasn’t really a threat to these people. They were just scared, that’s all.
The key was, how many of these beasts were there?
“No… no… I don’t want to die such an unclear death! ” A Qingzhou prince cried in terror, trying to run back.
But it was too late. The retreat had already been blocked by the cultivators of the Yunlei Two States.
“Hurry up, or you’ll anger our Daoist Friends. ” Ye Xuan spoke again.
“You talk so nicely, why don’t you go! ” someone gritted their teeth and said.
Ye Xuan waved his hand. He and the people of the Yunlei Two States had similar ideas; these people were merely cannon fodder.
The Yunlei Two States would support him, because they needed someone who could speak for them in the Qingzhou Alliance.
The Qingzhou people dared not speak out, but then one prince’s eyes caught sight of Ye Yu standing in mid-air. He immediately said, “Ye Yu! Save us! ”
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Yu. Ye Qingshuang also looked over, her lips moving as if wanting to say something, but ultimately she remained silent.
Ye Yu glanced at that person indifferently, and said, “Who are you? “
