Chapter 118: Prime Minister, you didn't die!

This came from the recognition of the Human Dao, from the recognition of the Human Race.

Regardless of anything else, Nuwa is the Mother of the Human Race, the very existence who created the Human Race.

Now, Nuwa has chosen to eternally guard the Human Race, becoming a Saint of the Human Race in the truest sense.

Naturally, the Human Dao could not wait to recognize Nuwa.

And Nuwa also felt that surging torrent of the Human Race, the merit and Qi Luck of the Human Race.

At the same time, she also perceived that under the merit and Qi Luck of the Human Race, her strength had indeed grown a sliver stronger.

Although it was only a sliver of change, for Nuwa, it was already enough.

She had already confirmed one thing.

That was that the Heavenly Emperor had not been wrong; her path to the Heavenly Dao lay within the Human Race.

Now, the Honghuang Human Race had increased her strength by a sliver.

For a Saint, this sliver of improvement would normally take an unknown amount of time to achieve.

Nuwa was certain that as long as she reflected the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, walked through the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and gathered the merit and Qi Luck of the Human Race across the myriad worlds.

With enough accumulated merit and Qi Luck, she would one day be able to break through to a realm above that of a Saint.

The Heavenly Dao, or even the Great Dao.

Of course, this would require enough worlds to support it.

Nuwa was now even more determined to join the Heavenly Court and do her work well for the Heavenly Court.

These Heavens and Myriad Worlds were not so easy to discover.

At the same time, Nuwa also experienced a flash of enlightenment at this moment.

Perhaps Thick Earth being able to take that step and achieve the Half-step Heavenly Dao realm was also related to the Heavens and Myriad Worlds?

With Nuwa's intelligence, she naturally understood that perhaps Thick Earth was walking a path similar to her own.

Nuwa was even more certain that this Heavenly Emperor was absolutely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Nuwa spoke with the Heavenly Emperor, and then stepped into the worlds governed by the Heavenly Court.

She wanted to gather the merit and Qi Luck of the Human Race and enter the Heavenly Dao realm as soon as possible.

Of course, during this process, Nuwa would inevitably adopt various methods to help the Human Race of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds become stronger.

Only in this way could Nuwa truly obtain the recognition of the Human Race.

Three Kingdoms World.

After consuming the Immortal Medicine, Zhuge Liang began to take action.

Zhuge Liang summoned the generals of the Shu state, preparing to discuss how to deal a heavy blow to Cao Wei in this battle.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang already had great faith in the Heavenly Court and the existence of the Heavenly Emperor.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Court, if it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor, he might have already died.

The Heavenly Court must be the place where immortals reside, and the Heavenly Emperor is the leader of these immortals.

Zhuge Liang made a simple definition for the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also saw the messages in the group: as long as one joins the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor will bestow blessings.

These blessings are powerful forces capable of changing an entire nation, an entire world.

For example, in the group, the Heavenly Court had bestowed upon people from other worlds a Thousand-year Lifespan and Thousand-year Cultivation.

Or a Ten-thousand-year Lifespan and Ten-thousand-year Cultivation, or supreme cultivation techniques.

In short, if one joins the Heavenly Court, it is not just one person who can defy the heavens and change their fate, but an entire nation that can do so.

Zhuge Liang knew that if he were to lead the Shu Han to join the Heavenly Court now, he could immediately change the current situation of the Shu Han.

Wipe out Cao Wei, or even wipe out Eastern Wu, truly unify the entire world, restore the Han house, and rebuild the Great Han.

As long as one joins the Heavenly Court, everything will turn into easy mode.

The fact that Cao Wei's comprehensive national strength is far stronger than that of the Shu Han, or that the Shu Han is full of contradictions—none of that would be a problem.

As long as one joins the Heavenly Court, these problems can all be solved.

Zhuge Liang was no longer worried now; no matter what, he had the Heavenly Court backing him up.

Zhuge Liang had his own pride in his heart, thinking about whether he could rely on his own strength to wipe out Cao Wei, wipe out the rats of Jiangdong, truly unify the world, and rebuild the Great Han.

After all, even if he did not join the Heavenly Court now, he still had himself.

The wisdom of so many group members, the data in the group, including high-yield crops from other worlds, could all provide him with help.

Therefore, at this moment, even without joining the Heavenly Court, he could still completely change the fate of the Shu Han slowly.

He would join the Heavenly Court only when he had truly unified the world and rebuilt the Great Han.

At that time, the immortals of the Heavenly Court would descend, and it would be a mandate of heaven.

The third founding of the Great Han, the name of the Han Empire, would be deeply ingrained in the hearts of every subject, and even in their bloodlines.

Even if future generations were to overthrow the Han Dynasty, they would still identify themselves as Han.

Zhuge Liang thought about a great many things in his heart; in any case, he now had plenty of time to accomplish all of this and truly annihilate the Cao Wei regime.

The most critical thing at present was the battle before him, to wipe out Sima Yi, that sinner through the ages, in this battle and deal a heavy blow to Cao Wei.

Zhuge Liang summoned the generals of the Shu Han, and the generals were also very surprised to see Zhuge Liang as he was now.

"Prime Minister, you didn't die!"

A Shu Han general asked involuntarily.

After all, just a moment ago, Zhuge Chengxiang had already given them his final words, looking like he was on his last breath and about to die at any moment.

Several Shu Han generals were still worried about what they should do if Zhuge Chengxiang really collapsed here.

After all, Zhuge Liang was the anchor of the Shu Han; if Zhuge Liang died, the impact on the morale of the Shu Han would be enormous.

And if Zhuge Liang died, the Shu Han might fall into chaos.

Seeing Zhuge Liang looking full of vigor now, he was naturally surprised, but he quickly reacted.

"As long as he isn't dead, as long as he isn't dead, if he isn't dead we don't need to worry, the Great Han can be free of care."

The surrounding generals all glared at this general who had spoken.

Listen to what kind of talk this was?

If Zhuge Chengxiang ordered someone to behead him, he wouldn't be wronged.

The generals present confirmed again and again that Zhuge Liang was indeed fine, and they all finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Zhuge Chengxiang fine, perhaps they could not only avoid retreating but even continue the Northern Expedition.

The Great Han army had brought out their entire elite force this time, and they did not want to return empty-handed.

The generals present only thought that the appearance Zhuge Chengxiang had just shown was merely an illusion.

Now, as long as Zhuge Chengxiang was fine, that was all that mattered.

They truly could not afford the price of being without Zhuge Chengxiang, and the Great Han could likewise hardly afford it.

Zhuge Liang then spoke up, saying, "No, I have already died."

The surrounding generals could not help but look at Zhuge Liang and ask in confusion, "Zhuge Chengxiang, what does this mean?"

Some generals even looked at Zhuge Liang's shadow with some trepidation.

Could it be that Zhuge Chengxiang has really died, and this is Zhuge Chengxiang's soul?

Is this Zhuge Chengxiang, even after death, still unable to set his mind at ease regarding us?

The generals present had various thoughts in their hearts, mainly because this sentence from Zhuge Liang was too frightening.

Yet they heard Zhuge Liang continue, "My meaning is, I have already died; let Sima Yi inadvertently know, let the Wei army inadvertently know, that I have already died."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the Great Han generals' eyes could not help but light up.

Does Zhuge Chengxiang mean to use a ruse of feigned death to plot against Cao Wei?

As expected of Zhuge Chengxiang, one plan fails, and he comes up with another.

Zhuge Liang instructed the generals present, "Remember, it must be done inadvertently to attract the attention of Cao Wei, to attract the attention of Sima Yi."

If one were to just blurt out that Zhuge Liang had died, who would believe it?

Just a moment ago, what the Great Han needed to do was not let Cao Wei know the news of Zhuge Liang's death.

Only by concealing the news of Zhuge Liang's death could they successfully lead the Great Han soldiers back.

But now, it is the opposite.

Only by letting Sima Yi inadvertently know the news of Zhuge Liang's death will Sima Yi, that cowardly turtle, take the initiative to attack.

The generals present all understood Zhuge Liang's words.

Following Zhuge Liang's instructions, they began to take action.

Sima Yi also received word of the unusual movements of the Great Han army.

"Military Advisor, the Great Han army seems to have unusual movements; they seem to be about to take action."

Sima Yi said in a deep voice, "About to take action? Tell me in detail."

Facing an opponent like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi dared not be the slightest bit careless.

Sima Yi knew well that one moment of carelessness would lead to falling into the treacherous schemes of this Zhuge villager.

In the battle at Shangfang Valley, if not for the grace of Heaven, Cao Wei might have been disastrously defeated and suffered heavy losses.

And he, Sima Yi, or even the Sima Family, would have died there.

After all, this time he had brought the two sons he valued most.

The Great Han's Northern Expedition into the Central Plains this time was very well prepared.

Cao Wei had also sent out almost its entire elite force; if they were defeated this time, even with Cao Wei's national strength, they would feel the pain and suffer a heavy blow.

In that great disaster at Shangfang Valley, Zhuge Liang had almost achieved this goal.

The only thing Zhuge Liang had not anticipated was that it would rain.

Come to think of it, the mandate of Heaven is not with the Great Han; where is the mandate of Heaven?

The mandate of Heaven is with Cao Wei.

No, the mandate of Heaven is with his Sima family.

This rain came too timely; it extinguished that great fire and at the same time saved him, Sima Yi, and saved his Sima Family.

Does this not prove that the mandate of Heaven is with him, Sima Yi, and the Sima Clan?

Sima Yi's gaze carried a burning ambition.

Finally, he looked in the direction of Luoyang City, and this ambition immediately extinguished.

Cao Rui is not dead yet.

While Cao Rui is present, he dares not make any moves.

However, he estimated that Cao Rui would not live much longer.

According to the news from his informant buried in the imperial palace, the current Son of Heaven of Great Wei, Cao Rui, has already started coughing up blood.

Perhaps before long, this ambitious and talented Great Wei ruler will soon fall.

And the next generation of the Great Wei imperial clan has few who are capable.

Cao Rui also does not have a son who can inherit his will.

Perhaps it is Heaven envying talent; currently, his sons have not yet grown up.

At that time, he will support a young ruler of Cao Wei to ascend the throne and command the world in the name of the young ruler.

Cao Cao has already demonstrated it once: holding the Son of Heaven to command the lords.

One day in the future, this Cao Wei empire might very well fall into the hands of his Sima Family.

Sima Yi felt a burning sensation in his heart and let out a deep breath.

The key now is to lie low.

As long as Cao Rui is not yet dead, the power of the Sima Family is not yet sufficient.

Then he, Sima Yi, is the most loyal subject of Great Wei.

Sima Yi has never lacked patience; he outlived Cao Cao, outlived Cao Pi, and will outlive another Cao Rui.

He does not believe that when the time comes, the Sima Family will not have their chance.

The key now is to defeat Shu Han.

This heavy responsibility of unifying the world must ultimately be completed by Cao Wei, and the empire of Cao Wei must ultimately fall into the hands of the Sima Family.

Sima Yi listened to the reports from those around him and suddenly spoke, "You say the Shu Han army is packing up their things, seemingly preparing to attack our forces?"

This left Sima Yi baffled.

In the battle at Shangfang Valley, although Cao Wei suffered losses, a great fire saved the Cao Wei army.

This heavy rain encouraged the soldiers of Cao Wei; they did not lose morale because of it, but rather their spirit was like a rainbow.

After all, they had clearly fallen into a desperate situation, yet a heavy rain saved them from that dead end.

Does this not also show that the Mandate of Heaven is with Wei?

In contrast, on the other side, the morale of the Shu Han soldiers was low.

Under such circumstances, launching an attack is certainly not a good thing.

Sima Yi believes that Zhuge Liang cannot fail to understand this point.

Then what exactly is the Shu Han army preparing to do?

What kind of conspiracy is that "Village Peasant Zhuge" trying to hatch again?

Sima Yi frowned, truly unable to figure out what Zhuge Liang was trying to do.

For an old fox like Zhuge Liang, every move must have a deep meaning.

"Strategist, we have received news that in that battle at Shangfang Valley, that scoundrel Zhuge Liang seems to have vomited blood."

In that battle at Shangfang Valley, Zhuge Liang could not bear the blow for a moment and vomited blood directly.

Although Zhuge Liang tried his best to cover it up, it was still discovered by those with keen eyes.

After all, in public occasions, it is not so easy to hide.

Of course, the most critical thing is that Zhuge Liang had people intentionally guide it.

In reality, this ruse of feigning death by Zhuge Liang was always a mix of truth and falsehood, reality and illusion.

After all, before this, Zhuge Liang was indeed already on the verge of death.

If it were not for joining the Heavens Chat Group, they might have already been collecting his corpse.

Sima heard this and could not help but say, "The Village Peasant Zhuge vomited blood?"

He carefully recalled that on the battlefield at that time, the complexion of the Village Peasant Zhuge was indeed not quite right.

Suddenly he spoke, "The Village Peasant Zhuge might already be dead; the Shu Han army is preparing to run."

Sima Yi is, after all, a smart man, and he quickly combined all the signs to deduce this.

Zhuge Liang must be nearing the end of his life, or perhaps Zhuge Liang has already run at this moment.

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder this Northern Expedition of Shu Han was so hasty; this is the Village Peasant Zhuge preparing to make a final desperate struggle before he dies."

Sima Yi laughed heartily and said, "Zhuge Liang, oh Zhuge Liang, even if your strategy is peerless, it is a pity you cannot outmatch the number of Heaven."

The more Sima Yi thought about it, the more he felt that Zhuge Liang might already be dead.

That this old rival finally died on his own, and did not die at his own hands, made Sima Yi feel somewhat regretful.

However, as long as he is dead, that is fine.

Sima Yi felt exceptionally smug; it seems that living long is what makes one the winner.

In the future, he must continue to take good care of his health; as long as he lives, he will become the biggest winner.

Cao Wei is a generation of heroic masters of Great Wei, when facing Cao Rui.

Sima Yi sometimes even feels it is more terrifying than facing Cao Cao.

But Heaven is jealous of talent; perhaps before long, this Son of Heaven of Cao Wei will die young.

At that time, who else in this Cao Wei could suppress him, Sima Yi?

By relying on that group of good-for-nothings in the Cao royal family?

That old rival Zhuge Liang did not die young.

But he did not live long enough either.

Thinking about it carefully, it is only right that Zhuge Liang died.

Having to do everything personally, would he not just be worked to death?

Heh, even if this Zhuge Liang's strategy is peerless, now that he is dead, what other methods does he have?

Zhuge Liang, oh Zhuge Liang, you are indeed formidable, but you could not outlive me.

Sima Yi looked toward the direction of Shu Han, his gaze filled with unprecedented heat.

"Perhaps, it is time to wipe out Shu Han and take the first step toward unifying the world."

All along, Shu Han has relied on the territory of one province to block Cao Wei's steps toward unifying the world.

What is even more excessive is that this Shu Han occupies the territory of one province and does not honestly just scrape by.

Instead, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, they launched Northern Expeditions time and time again.

And under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, they really did cause quite a lot of trouble for Cao Wei.

Now that Zhuge Liang is dead, this Shu Han should also perish.

Zhuge Liang is already dead; who else in this Shu Han can stop him, Sima Yi, and who else can stop Cao Wei?

As for those rats of Eastern Wu?

The rat-like people of Eastern Wu are truly not worth worrying about.

Relying on Sun Shiwang, they simply cannot block the great army of Cao Wei.

Come to think of it, this Sun Shiwang is quite capable of staying alive.

Cao Cao is dead, Liu Bei is dead, yet Sun Quan lives.

Cao Pi is dead, Zhuge Liang is also about to die, yet this Sun Quan is still alive.

However, this old thing Sun Quan, living is merely just living.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei were alive, Sun Quan was suppressed by them.

Now that the Cao family has already changed several generations of the Son of Heaven, Sun Quan is still the same.

With a King of Wu like Sun Quan, Eastern Wu will sooner or later perish as well.

As for others, Sima Yi hopes for their deaths.

But as for Sun Quan, let him just live on well.

Sima Yi said with a smile, "Since the village rustic Zhuge has already died, if the great army of Shu Han wants to flee, assemble the troops immediately, block the great army of Shu Han, and keep them here."

Sima Yi has always been a cautious person, but that caution was faced toward an opponent with unparalleled wisdom like Zhuge Liang.

If it were just ordinary people, they would not be worthy of his caution.

If Zhuge Liang is dead, then this is a heaven-sent opportunity.

As long as the entire great army of Shu Han is kept here, it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to Shu Han.

It is even possible that by taking this opportunity, they might be able to directly destroy Shu Han.

With Zhuge Liang dead in battle, plus if they can keep this great army of Shu Han here, Shu Han will inevitably fall into chaos.

This is a heaven-sent opportunity.

Even though Sima Yi is a person of deep thoughts, he cannot resist the temptation of the merit of destroying a state.

In the Three Kingdoms era, how many strategists were there who could devise strategies within a tent and possessed unparalleled wisdom?

Guo Fengxiao, whom Heaven envied for his talent and who suffered ten defeats in ten battles; Jia Wenhe, who protected himself wisely and threw the martial world into chaos with a single word; as well as Li Ru, Xi Zhicai, and furthermore Zhuge Liang, and so on.

He, Sima Yi, had not been famous before.

But as long as he, Sima Yi, destroys a state, then he, Sima Yi, will be the strongest strategist of this era, and he will surely leave his name in history.

Who told those people to all die? Only he, Sima Yi, survived; only he, Sima Yi, destroyed a state.

Sima Yi looked toward the direction where the great army of Shu Han was located, and the burning heat in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

The Cao Wei generals present were still somewhat doubtful.

"Is that Zhuge Liang really already dead?"

"Do you think this could be a feigned death ploy by Zhuge Liang?"

It is mainly because they have been fighting against Zhuge Liang for so long and have been scared by Zhuge Liang's traps.

Hearing the words of the others, Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, pondering these words.
