"Decree of the Ten Elders!"
Before the grand hall of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty's palace, a cultivator at the Rontian Realm held the imperial decree of the Ten Elders of the Human Emperor Hall, standing in the void.
A multitude of civil and military officials of Great Yan knelt on their knees. The Human Emperor of Great Yan, with a frown, stood before the hall. The ten great imperial dynasties, aside from the Sacred War, were not under the jurisdiction of the Human Emperor Hall. Moreover, the current Human Emperor of Great Yan was the Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall and therefore did not need to kneel.
The Human Emperor of Great Yan looked at the Rontian Realm cultivator holding the decree of the Ten Elders in the void, his brow furrowed. The Sacred War was still some time away; why would the Ten Elders suddenly issue a decree?
"Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, Human Emperor of Great Yan, Elder Han's decree!"
"The Sacred War is imminent. The billions of cultivators in our Southwestern Region face an unprecedented great change. The seal has shattered, and our Southwestern Region will be completely connected to the Ancient Wilderness. The pressure has increased dramatically. Yet, the imperial dynasties are still embroiled in war. We hope the Human Emperor of Great Yan will shoulder the responsibilities befitting the Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, halt unnecessary self-consumption, and hope that the imperial dynasties can bear the heavy responsibility!"
"Hall Master, receive the decree!"
The Rontian Realm cultivator smiled faintly, handing the decree to the Human Emperor of Great Yan. He then turned and departed.
"Strange!"
The Human Emperor of Great Yan looked at the decree in his hand. The Ten Elders never interfered in the affairs of the imperial dynasties, yet today's events truly baffled him. To be honest, in his hundreds of years as the Human Emperor of Great Yan, he had never met the Ten Elders. If not for the continuous decrees issued during each Sacred War, they would have almost forgotten that the Human Emperor Hall had such a force.
The Ten Elders were too mysterious; their realms and cultivation levels were unknown.
The Human Emperor of Great Yan looked at the decree in his hand. He had long been displeased with the wars between the imperial dynasties. Now that he held the decree of the Ten Elders, he could officially enforce the Hall Master's decree and stop the conflicts.

On the twenty-third day of the fourth month in the second year of Great Han, the Human Emperor of Great Yan, holding the decree of the Ten Elders of the Human Emperor Hall, issued a ceasefire order to the Great Han Dynasty, the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty, the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty, the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty, the Northern Cold Imperial Dynasty, and the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty.
At once, the Southwestern Region erupted with immense fervor. Billions of cultivators called for a truce and cessation of hostilities. With the Sacred War approaching, anyone who engaged in self-consumption or instigated war was an enemy of the entire human race in the Southwestern Region!
A heavy label was instantly affixed to the Great Han Dynasty, the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty, the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty, the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty, the Northern Cold Imperial Dynasty, and the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty. Protests in the entire Southwestern Region intensified, and pressure mounted. Su Dan Novel Network.
On the twenty-third day of the fourth month in the second year of Great Han, after the Hall Master's decree of the Human Emperor Hall was announced, the Sacred Origin Human Emperor Ying Zhong, taking advantage of the situation, ceased hostilities and responded to the Human Emperor Hall's call. The army of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty withdrew from the battlefields of the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty and the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty.
That night, the guard of the west gate of the capital of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty, holding the imperial order of the Sacred Origin Human Emperor Ying Zhong, met with the commanders of the three legions, Meng Tian. The two engaged in a lengthy discussion throughout the night and drafted a ceasefire agreement.
First: Acknowledge the territories of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty occupied by Great Han.
Second: The Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty shall cede fifty western cities to Great Han!
The next day, an agreement officially took effect with Yang Hao's tacit approval. Great Han received fifty western cities from the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty, and from then on, all western cities of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty belonged to Great Han.
On the twenty-fourth day of the fourth month in the second year of Great Han, under Yang Hao's royal command, Qin Qiong led his troops to the outskirts of the capital of the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty. The Azure Sky Human Emperor was forced to sign an unequal treaty.
First: The Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty shall annually provide a massive amount of cultivation resources to Great Han.
Second: Half of the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty's territory shall belong to Great Han.
Third: The Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty shall abolish its imperial title and be demoted to a dynasty, acknowledging the King of Humans of Great Han, Yang Hao, as its sovereign, becoming a subordinate dynasty of Great Han.
If not for the need to avoid unnecessary public outcry, Great Han would have immediately annihilated the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty!
With the Sacred War approaching, Yang Hao also wished to win over the hearts of the people in the Southwestern Region, so he could strategize for the vast lands of the Southwestern Region!
As the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty was demoted to the Azure Sky Dynasty, the war between the imperial dynasties in the Southwestern Region came to an end!

"Ding! Prompting the host, do you wish to open them!"
"Open!" Yang Hao looked at the dense array of platinum blind boxes, filled with anticipation. Although not as thrilling as summoning ancient heroes with the power of reincarnation, the items obtained from blind boxes were also extremely important, especially elixirs and army sets.

Yang Hao instantly breathed a sigh of relief, followed by immense joy. With the birth of a powerful army, the ancient heroes under Yang Hao each had their own units, and their cohesion was further enhanced!
"System, another ten million faith value for Platinum Blind Boxes!" Yang Hao looked at the Taotie Army sets and decided to go for another round, to see if he could acquire the banner of the Taotie Army.
The remaining forty million faith value was sufficient to cover the consumption of Great Han soldiers in the barracks!
"Ding! Successfully deducted ten million faith value!"
"Ding! Obtained twenty Platinum Blind Boxes!"
"Ding! Notifying the host, remaining faith value is forty million!"
Instantly, the silvery-white brilliant light that had just disappeared reappeared. Dense platinum blind boxes floated before Yang Hao's eyes, emitting a strong silver glow!
