Chapter 346 Surrender to Great Xia, Selecting Soldiers and Generals
Aid from the Great Xia Dynasty flowed continuously into the disaster-stricken countries, and the people who were struggling under the invasion of demonic smoke pillars finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Food, medicine, cloth, and the selfless assistance from the soldiers and doctors of the Great Xia Dynasty nourished their parched hearts like sweet rain.
In the Great Qian Kingdom, a young soldier, after receiving aid from the Great Xia Kingdom, remarked to his comrades with emotion, "Look at these Great Xia people. Not only did they not take advantage of the disaster, but they also extended a helping hand. Our royal court appears so powerless in the face of calamity, while Great Xia was able to quickly restore order. This is what a truly powerful kingdom looks like."
In the land of Brahma, after receiving treatment, a monk clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude to the physician of Bactria: "Amitabha. Our previous prejudices were truly narrow-minded."
The people and soldiers of these countries began to discuss in private that they admired the decisions and actions of the Great Xia.
The Great Xia not only protected its own people during the disaster, but also selflessly helped other countries. This magnanimity and strength won them their heartfelt respect.
At a temporary camp, an old general looked at the busy soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty and said to his deputy with emotion, "The national strength and military discipline of the Great Xia Dynasty are indeed worthy of our learning. Their emperor and national advisor have foresight and wisdom, and their decisions are truly for the benefit of the country and its people."
Gradually, they began to learn about the language and culture of Bactria.
The envoys of Great Xia were warmly welcomed in various countries. They spread the divine beliefs of Great Xia, and at the same time brought Great Xia's friendship and more cooperation.
In the Great Brahma Kingdom, after some discussion, the members of the Mahaprajnaparamita decided to accept the aid of Great Xia and establish closer ties with Great Xia.
They realized that only by cooperating with Daxia could they better protect their followers.
In some smaller countries, some far-sighted officials have even suggested that they should learn from Great Xia and reform their domestic systems to enhance national cohesion and resilience against disasters.
Upon learning of this, the emperor nodded with pleasure.
He believed that as time went on, the influence of Great Xia would grow, and the countries affected by the disaster would gradually move towards prosperity and stability.
At the same time, the emperor was also thinking about how to make better use of this opportunity to spread the influence of the Great Xia to more distant places.
At this moment, Princess Jin'an arrived to pay homage to the emperor, bringing with her a newly revised version of the Heavenly King Talisman.
The emperor, deep in thought, seized the opportunity to ask her for advice.
After a moment's thought, the princess proposed a selection plan for "heavenly soldiers and generals".
“Father, the divine path has been developing smoothly recently. The Four Heavenly Kings believe it is time to expand the ranks.” Princess Jin’an’s voice carried a hint of determination. “After becoming ‘Heavenly Soldiers and Generals,’ even mortals without a divine title can enjoy the blessing of a small amount of incense and prayers, making them exceptionally brave.”
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the emperor's eyes.
He knew this was a good opportunity to enhance the faith and cohesion of the people of Great Xia.
By selecting "heavenly soldiers and generals," not only can the power of the divine way be enhanced, but the people can also become more devoted to the divine way, thereby strengthening the national power of the Great Xia.
"Jin'an, your suggestion is excellent." The emperor nodded approvingly. "We will hold a grand selection ceremony to select the most outstanding 'heavenly soldiers and generals'."
The news that the Great Xia Dynasty was about to select "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals" quickly spread throughout the Nine Provinces, causing a nationwide uproar.
The people were discussing this unprecedented selection process.
The selection criteria are very simple: strong and courageous, with unwavering faith.
This is not only a test of personal strength, but also a trial of faith and loyalty.
For the people of Daxia, this was not only an opportunity to showcase themselves and change their destiny, but also an unparalleled honor.
Upon learning of this grand event, the Daqian and other states couldn't help but feel envious.
They witnessed the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty and the glory of its divine way, and longed for their own country to possess such power and faith.
However, when they learned that the selection was open to all nationalities and that anyone who believed in the Four Heavenly Kings could apply, their joy was palpable.
"No nationality restrictions? Is that true?" an envoy from the Great Qian Dynasty asked excitedly after confirming the news.
"That's right, this selection is open to all believers of the Four Heavenly Kings," the official from Great Xia replied affirmatively.
When the news reached the Great Qian Kingdom and other countries, it immediately caused a huge reaction.
People and soldiers from all over the world flocked to the Great Xia, hoping to participate in this special selection.
On the border of Great Xia, candidates from various countries lined up in long queues, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing.
Among them are seasoned veterans, inexperienced young men, highly skilled martial artists, and devout believers.
They come from different countries and different ethnic groups, but they all share the same goal—to become "heavenly soldiers and generals" and serve the Four Heavenly Kings.
At the selection site in the capital city, the contestants displayed their martial arts skills and faith.
They either brandished weapons, displaying their strength, or knelt before the altar, praying devoutly and expressing their faith.
The judges observed carefully and made fair judgments to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the selection process.
This selection process is not only about choosing talent, but also a great opportunity to spread the belief in the Four Heavenly Kings and enhance the influence of the Great Xia Dynasty.
On the day of the event, Madam Lan and others also put aside their work to come and watch.
The fact that the divine path allows one to easily gain power without cultivation makes them both envious and secretly wary.
While the path of the gods is desirable, this power is not one's own. Once one chooses the path of the gods, one is destined to be subject to others for life, and ultimately cannot compare to the great power that belongs to oneself.
Princess Jin'an watched from the sidelines, observing the excited and agitated people, lost in thought.
Since it was she who brought this up, she naturally took it more seriously and thought about how to do it better.
……
As time passed, danger quietly approached.
After news of the Water of the Demon Abyss leaked out, the true victims—the Jiu Clan—moved quickly and dispatched people to search for the lower realm where the spatial coordinates were located, hoping to seize back the treasure first.
The demon clan woman Ying followed in the shadows, hoping to take advantage of the chaos. The communication stone in her hand flashed intermittently, as if she were exchanging information with a mysterious ally.
The Parasitic Clan, because the Parasitic Plague God suddenly became enraged and personally issued a warrant for his extermination, took this matter to an unprecedented level of importance.
The high priest and all the clansmen felt immense pressure, believing that only by killing the woman who had provoked the plague god's wrath on the spot could they quell the god's anger.
Therefore, they will spare no effort to complete this mission.
In this operation, the Parasitic Clan dispatched several sixth-tier Nascent Soul stage experts to lead the charge, a seventh-tier Mahayana stage master to oversee the operation, while the Nascent Soul stage cultivators could only play a supporting role and be responsible for the cleanup work.
Such a lineup is enough to demonstrate how much importance the Parasite Clan attaches to this operation.
So much so that both the Ju clan and Nyoei were puzzled after learning about the situation.
Transcending Tribulation cultivators rarely venture out; those at the Integration and Mahayana stages are already considered high-end combatants in their respective realms.
While the waters of the Demon Abyss are indeed rare, why would the Parasitic Clan mobilize such a large force in this mere lower realm? Could there be some other reason they haven't yet discovered?
Or is it that their trip is not for the waters of the Demon Abyss, but for some other purpose?
Chu Lengyu was unaware that she had become the target of multiple forces.
She continued to cultivate quietly in the Immortal Capital Cave, preparing for her next tribulation.
However, as time went on, she gradually sensed something unusual. Her intuition told her that danger was approaching.
Chu Lengyu suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze piercing through the thick fog, as if she could see the changing winds and clouds in the distance.
A storm is brewing.
And she was at the center of this storm.
