Chapter 217: The Most Divine Artifacts!

Wuluo and the ministers saw this, and every one of them felt shocked in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, but if it goes on like this, the matter of secretly gathering troops and provisions that you requested will likely be discovered by those with ulterior motives very soon!" Guan Longpang could not help but say with worry from the side.

"There is no need to worry about this matter. For this gathering, I will invoke the will of the Imperial Dynasty to seal off all relevant news within the entire territory of the dynasty. However, even so, I still hope that you all will be as fast as possible!"

"We understand!"

"By the way, Minister Guan." Xia Fa paused his speech, then immediately asked Guan Longfeng.

"How is the preparation of the provisions I ordered you to prepare?"

"Reporting to my Emperor, the Provisions Department has sent word that the provisions for a population of one million have long been prepared, and at this time, they should be about to arrive at the border between the Imperial Dynasty and the four kingdoms (the imperial dynasties in the four directions of east, south, west, and north)."

"Mm, very good!" Seeing this, Xia Fa nodded with great satisfaction.

Then, as if remembering something, Xia Fa looked at the Civil Minister Guan Longfeng and the Military Minister Wuluo, and smiled slightly.

"I have decided to add a few more people to the First-Rank God Positions, or perhaps fill the positions to full capacity. If you have suitable candidates, you may submit them to me for personal selection!"

Once these words were spoken.

It immediately shocked everyone present.

One after another, they looked at Xia Fa with expressions of shock.

Several decades later.

The Xia Dynasty completed a rebirth at lightning speed.

Not only did the high-level combat power change from several dozen Great Luo Gods to the current more than one hundred Great Luo Gods, but the number of people had more than doubled.

Moreover, in these few decades, they had recruited an imperial army of fifty billion, and adding the original thirty-plus billion, the number of battle-ready soldiers had reached nearly one hundred billion.

One must know.

As one of the most prosperous dynasties of the Human Race, the population of the Xia Dynasty was already dozens of times that of other dynasties, reaching a terrifying number of trillions.

Such an army of nearly one hundred billion, while seemingly massive, was already a very low conscription ratio of one in one hundred thousand compared to that terrifying population of trillions.

Compared to other dynasties with ratios of one in five thousand, one in three thousand, or even one in one thousand, it was already relatively favorable.

Of course.

This was also attributed to the strong foundation of the Xia Dynasty, which was far from what other dynasties could compare to.

However.

It was precisely because the number of troops increased that the Martial Rice realms of the personnel in the army were uneven, and the average quality was lower than that of the past army.

Because the recruitment was carried out in secret, and the training was also conducted in a Small World.

Therefore, the surrounding dynasties did not notice anything amiss.

However, in these years, due to the descent of a large number of the God Race, many dynasties had become alert to this and were asking around in all directions whether something they did not know about had happened.

But the results were destined to disappoint them.

Because of the limit of the ten-thousand-year period, the God Race had not disclosed it to the other dynasties.

Only the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Long Dynasty, Jiang Dynasty, and the dynasties with some background behind the Zhou Dynasty knew a few words about it.

But they still had no deep understanding of the confrontation between the Mysterious Gate and the Divine Court after ten thousand years, nor the detailed objectives.

Time passed, and the years flew by like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.

During these ten thousand years,

The Xia Dynasty's army expansion plan had been completed, and the number of troops had reached a terrifying five hundred billion.

These were no ordinary troops; in the mortal world, most of these people were high-level martial artists with considerable cultivation.

Besides this.

The Xia Dynasty also spent a massive amount of resources to build an elite army consisting entirely of those in the Demigod Realm, with the number reaching as high as forty-eight billion, far exceeding the original plan of thirty billion.

Among them, there was even a secretly forged elite-of-the-elite unit, numbering in the hundreds of millions, and their cultivation was all above the Heavenly God Realm.

However, as time passed, many surrounding dynasties began to notice the Xia Dynasty's recruitment events.

Coupled with the existence of the ten-thousand-year period, the God Race generally would not tell other dynasties too much between the ten-thousand-year periods.

Now, it was fine; the time had come.

At the same time.

The Human Ancestors of the Human Ancestral Land, along with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race, together with the Divine Court and the Mysterious Gate, jointly announced the plan for the Human Emperor to achieve the sole Heavenly Dynasty.

In an instant, all the dynasties of the Human Race in the entire Primordial World felt shocked by this.

It was not just the Human Race, but also many of the ten thousand races of the Primordial World, such as the Demon Race.

They were also very concerned about this matter.

After all, it involved the vital interests of their own ethnic groups, so they naturally could not be careless.

Just as the many God Races of the Divine Court and the many sects of the Mysterious Gate were entering the world and stepping into the imperial courts, the Xia Dynasty in the Yellow River Basin launched a war that swept through most of the Yellow River Basin.

The first day.

With the Xia Dynasty as the center, on the day the Human Race made the announcement.

One hundred and eight dynasties surrendered to the Xia Dynasty on the spot, merging into the Divine Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop.

The tenth day.

Taking advantage of the fact that many dynasties were still recruiting troops on a large scale, the Divine Xia Dynasty raised an army of one hundred and twenty trillion, divided into twelve routes, and marched together toward the twelve large dynasties in the Yellow River Basin.

In an instant.

Wherever the twelve routes of the Divine Xia army passed, there was no one who did not surrender.

In just a few years' time.

The twelve routes of the army had captured more than three hundred dynasties along the way.

Combining the surrendered troops into one, the army of over one hundred trillion instantly became an army of three hundred trillion.

Of course.

The twelve large Imperial Dynasties in the Yellow River Basin were not without their own actions during this period.

As the Divine Xia Dynasty swept across everything in its path, the twelve Imperial Dynasties, with the support of their respective God Race, happily obtained large quantities of Divine Artifacts and resources, and one after another expanded in all directions.

They hoped that when confronting the Divine Xia Dynasty, they could seize some scattered small and medium-sized Imperial Dynasties to strengthen their own power.

Thus.

The twelve large Imperial Dynasties, along with the Divine Xia Dynasty, tacitly avoided encountering one another and began to launch large-scale attacks on the remaining small and medium-sized Imperial Dynasties in the Yellow River Basin.

Within a mere one thousand years.

The situation across the entire Yellow River Basin changed significantly.

By this time, the Yellow River Basin had formed a state where the Divine Xia Dynasty had grown dominant, standing in the central plains region of the Yellow River Basin.

The twelve Imperial Dynasties, with the Divine Xia Dynasty as the center, surrounded it in a semi-encircling posture, trapping the Divine Xia Dynasty.

At this time.

Because the Divine Xia Dynasty was powerful, the twelve Imperial Dynasties had formed an offensive and defensive alliance, together strangling and guarding the Divine Xia Dynasty within the areas of Tianya Pass, Qinghai Mountain, and Jiulong Pass.

With the Yellow River Basin like this, the Human Race Imperial Dynasties in other regions were naturally not to be outdone.

The ones with the greatest movements were naturally the Shang Dynasty, heavily supported by the Divine Court, and the Zhou Dynasty, heavily supported by the Mysterious Gate.

Within these one thousand-plus years.

It was not just the Divine Xia Dynasty that was developing and expanding.

The Zhou Dynasty in the Shouyang Mountain region, having received strong support from the Mysterious Gate Four Teachings, had by this time already taken over more than half of the Shouyang Mountain region.

Just as they wanted to break through regional limitations in one go and enter the Yellow River Basin or even the East Sea Coast.

They were intercepted halfway by an entity called the Dayu Dynasty.

Upon investigation.

It turned out that this Dayu Dynasty had long since accepted the support of over one hundred God Race, including the Divine Court's Divine King Lineage and the Star God Lineage.

While the Zhou Dynasty was wantonly seizing other Imperial Dynasties, the Dayu Dynasty was also secretly developing and expanding.

Although in these one thousand-plus years, the low-profile Dayu Dynasty did not match the Zhou Dynasty in terms of imperial territory.

Yet in terms of soldiers, generals, and resource support, it was already not much worse than the Zhou Dynasty.

One must know.

What the Divine Court had the most of was undoubtedly Divine Artifacts! As one of the Nine Kings Divine Lineage of the Divine Court, the Star God Lineage naturally did not have resources inferior to the Mysterious Gate Four Teachings.

Thus.

The Divine Court disgusted the Mysterious Gate Four Teachings in the Shouyang Mountain region, but the Mysterious Gate Four Teachings also secretly planted a nail in the vast East Sea Coast.
