of thousands of years,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>fifty years did not amount to much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To most ordinary people,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it probably wasn’t any different from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the royal families of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>subtly perceived the slight abnormalities of the past fifty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It mainly involved the remnants of the Defying Divine Society, whose actions were growing increasingly bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Defying Divine Society, as an underground organization expelled and wanted by the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was always like a rat crossing the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To recruit new members, they always operated in a stealthy manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in recent years, these remnants of the Defying Divine Society became more arrogant, even daring to “pull in people on the streets”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most shocking thing for the royal families was that every time they launched an encirclement campaign,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the remnants of the Defying Divine Society seemed to receive advanced warnings, managing to escape coincidentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the royal families realize that the Defying Divine Society had come prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms stepped up their suppression of the Defying Divine Society even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, thirty-six and nineteen years ago, the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms even deployed ‘Divine Weapon Masters’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiming to harness the power of the Nation-Protecting Divine Weapons to deal a heavy blow to the Defying Divine Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the ‘Divine Weapon Masters’ of the Evil God Association intervened in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tying up the ‘Divine Weapon Masters’ of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms allowed most of the elite members of the Defying Divine Society to leave in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms possessed Nation-Protecting Divine Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By leveraging the power of Nation-Protecting Divine Weapons, they could train Divine Weapon Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Defying Divine Society did not have complete Divine Weapons, they possessed many Divine Weapon fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were known as Evil Soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Soldiers were essentially Divine Weapons in their essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provided an Evil Soldier’s completeness met a certain standard, it was possible to train a Divine Weapon Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms referred to such masters as ‘Evil Soldier Masters’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In direct combat, Evil Soldier Masters naturally did not match up to Divine Weapon Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the former could slightly interfere with the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the Divine Weapon Master invoked the full awakening of their Divine Weapon, it was difficult to capture an Evil Soldier Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In general, a Divine Weapon Master would not allow a Divine Weapon to fully awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because doing so meant their lifespan would be drastically reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul essence drawn by a fully awakened Divine Weapon would reach a horrific level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a Divine Weapon fully awakened, the Divine Weapon Master would live ten years less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a secret underground square,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a towering man sat cross-legged in the very center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him were scattered dozens of weapon fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were an Evil Soldier Master from the Defying Divine Society present, they would be horrified to discover that these weapon fragments were indeed Evil Soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Soldiers, the fragments of Divine Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although far less powerful than Divine Weapons, they too transcended the limits of the mundane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at the moment, these supreme Evil Soldiers were treated like ordinary items, carelessly strewn across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty years…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering man, Lin Yuan, slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the majority of those fifty years, he was cultivating, contemplating the essential nature of the laws within the Divine Weapon fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the many state affairs of the Greater Yan Dynasty… Over forty years ago, Lin Yuan had specially selected a group of capable and loyal officials, establishing The Cabinet to handle state matters on behalf of the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan only needed to return from time to time to check on things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Emperor, the most taboo thing is to micromanage everything—how many matters can one country have? If one were to inquire into each one, wouldn’t it be exhausting to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, like Lin Yuan’s long periods of disengagement, this was rare and typically a major taboo for emperors, as it easily led to being sidelined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Lin Yuan’s strength, who could afford to sideline him, as he held immense force in one body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Rank…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan looked towards the Divine Weapon fragments around him, his face falling into brief contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lin Yuan’s speed of cultivation, he had reached the Completion of the Heaven-Man Realm twenty years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Completion of Heaven-Man Realm, if placed in the Main World, would be considered just short of Fourth Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to break through further, to formally step into Fourth Rank… Lin Yuan was somewhat hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transition from Third Rank to Fourth Rank, even in the Main World, was a major bottleneck and shackles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any Evolver who could cultivate to the extreme pinnacle of Third Rank was one in a million, ten million, or even one in a hundred million—a prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, to cross this major bottleneck and shackles, one would need at least hundreds of years, with many dying old at the extreme pinnacle of Third Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was under the premise of having a complete Evolution Path for guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Lin Yuan, who was carving out an Evolution Path, every step taken on a completely unknown road, breaking through to Fourth Rank was going to be thousandfold or even ten thousandfold more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this ‘thousandfold or ten thousandfold’ is relative to Lin Yuan’s current strength at the extreme pinnacle of Third Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a higher-level Evolver, such as at Fifth Rank or Sixth Rank, overseeing from a high level, carving out an Evolution Path would naturally be much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even with the ‘thousandfold or ten thousandfold’ difficulty, with Lin Yuan’s unreasonable Against-Heaven’s Understanding, he should have broken through to Fourth Rank by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Yuan kept hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth Rank and Fourth Rank, are also not the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, a Heavenly Master who ascended through the Power of Taiyin or Taiyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is naturally of a different concept from one who ascended through the Dao of Taiji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, ascending to the Fourth Rank, Lin Yuan wanted to ascend through the essence of the rules contained within the Divine Weapon fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascending to the Fourth Rank in this way would definitely be the kind with the greatest potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past fifty years, Lin Yuan had collected dozens of Divine Weapon fragments, integrating their essence of rules into the Martial Tao Cultivation System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these fragmented essences of rules were still too few for Lin Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t enough to support his ascension to the Fourth Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Weapon Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, the Defying Divine Society had helped him collect Divine Weapon fragments that were naturally weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it, for Divine Weapon fragments had their own consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Sikong Lun borrowed help and coaxed, he could only fool those ordinary Divine Weapon fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the truly powerful Divine Weapon fragments, the Defying Divine Society wasn’t able to track them; usually, these fragments had already cultivated their own Weapon Masters and lay dormant within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Defying Divine Society and these Evil Soldier Masters tended to have a cooperative relationship—neither could command the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time the Defying Divine Society asked these Evil Soldier Masters to take action, a great price had to be paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the Defying Divine Society and these Evil Soldier Masters, under the suppression of the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms, were considered to be in the same camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Soldier Masters answered to Evil Soldiers, but Evil Soldiers were the losers of that war of a hundred Divine Weapons eight thousand years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broken by the strongest thirty-six Divine Weapons, scattered across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Evil Soldiers had a natural grudge against the thirty-six Divine Weapons,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their positions inherently opposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Defying Divine Society, it was a power made up of people who wished to rebel against the rule of Divine Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They, too, were opposed to the thirty-six Divine Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enemy’s enemy is a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Defying Divine Society and the Evil Soldiers naturally had an alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Antigod Association Headquarters of Sikong Lun was suppressed by fragments of the Martial Saint Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Lin Yuan had sent over twenty Martial Saints to trample that headquarters, a task completed too swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So quickly that the Martial Saint Realm fragments didn’t even react before the fight was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Yuan was deep in thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sequence of faint footsteps grew closer from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greeting the master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person arriving was Sikong Lun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty years had passed, and Sikong Lun had aged much, with many white hairs on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan glanced at Sikong Lun and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Sikong Lun had done quite well, continuously traveling between the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now many Antigod Association Headquarters were obedient to Lin Yuan, and Sikong Lun’s efforts were indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lin Yuan was immersed in cultivation and, to avoid attracting the attention of the real Divine Weapons, he made very few appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“State your business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan spoke bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fifty years of acquaintance, he knew Sikong Lun quite well and understood that the other wouldn’t come here without an important reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those Evil Soldier Masters… wish to meet with you to discuss the matter of a decisive battle with the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Central Plains…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Lun hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Decisive battle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t they afraid of another ‘Calamity of Soldiers’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Calamity of Soldiers’ referred to disasters caused by battles between Divine Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight thousand years ago, when the war of a hundred Divine Weapons ended, the situation was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty-six Divine Weapons each dominated a kingdom, feasting on the lifeblood of the living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why does the history of the Greater Yan Dynasty span only over three thousand six hundred years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just the Greater Yan Dynasty; the histories of the other Thirty-five States of the Central Plains were also three to four thousand years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cause lies in the great decisive battle initiated by many Evil Soldiers and the Defying Divine Society, three to four thousand years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That decisive battle enraged the thirty-six Nation-Protecting Divine Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All thirty-six Divine Weapons awakened and began suppressing the Evil Soldiers, who had regained significant strength at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their battles affected the lands of the Central Plains, leading to the downfall of dynasties and the lamentation of all beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty-six Divine Weapons suppressed on one hand and harvested the blood, spirits, and souls of the people on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resulted in a major setback for the Human Race, which only recovered after several hundred to a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the effects of the battle continued—old dynasties fell, and new Thirty-Six Kingdoms were established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the origin of the Greater Yan Dynasty and the other thirty-five states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This period was later referred to as—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Calamity of Soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>",1864,"2026-05-29T04:41:10.495Z","2026-06-01T04:29:10.544Z",1,"novelbin.me","c1cfef4630be6e9f5f823254bc74396297485589f9be720c8f472d2fcfefa9b9","comprehension-ability-creating-and-teaching-the--chapter-78","comprehension-ability-creating-and-teaching-the--chapter-76",1480,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomprehension-ability-creating-and-teaching-the--cover.jpg"]
