March 15th, Second Year of Han.
For over a month, the five great dynasties had been embroiled in a war, and half of the human lands in the southwestern region had fallen into darkness.
The northern front, formed by the Great Cloud Dynasty and the Holy Origin Dynasty, was locked in a stalemate with the Northern Cold Dynasty. Three armies fought fiercely in all directions, inadvertently breaching the borders of the Cangmu Dynasty. The Human Emperor of Cangmu issued an imperial decree, formally declaring war on the Great Cloud Dynasty, the Holy Origin Dynasty, and the Northern Cold Dynasty.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the Great Cloud Dynasty, the Holy Origin Dynasty, and the Northern Cold Dynasty simultaneously turned their attention to the Cangmu Dynasty. Millions of soldiers from the three great dynasties directly conquered over half of the Cangmu Dynasty's territory.
The three great dynasties used the Cangmu Dynasty's territory as their battlefield, engaging once again in bloody combat!
And for over a month, under the control of Li Si and other civil officials, the vast territory of the Great Han prospered. Countless resources were gathered in the Great Han's Ministry of Revenue, with seventy percent of these resources allocated to the Great Han's army.
After more than a month of development, the Great Han Dynasty's overall national strength had undergone a seismic shift, bolstered by the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny.
Especially the Great Han's army, which had been comprehensively sealed off. Only Li Si, Changsun Wuji, and others held detailed information about the military.
For over a month, the heroes of the Spirit Venerable realm, with the assistance of self-cultivation and the Myriad Venerable Pills, had all broken through to the Heavenly Martial realm.

"Open my status panel!"
Yang Hao closed the report on local affairs presented by Li Si. In the past month, he had continuously received system notifications. The ancient heroes summoned to this world had undergone earth-shattering changes in their strength and cultivation.
He himself had also diligently cultivated recently, breaking through five minor realms. Subsequently, after consuming Myriad Venerable Pills, he successfully broke through to the Heavenly Martial realm. After Yang Hao's breakthrough to the Heavenly Martial realm, the overall strength of the ancient heroes summoned to this world advanced once more, achieving a terrifying improvement!

The human lands have suffered from the slaughter of fierce beasts from the Ancient Desolation. Now, a group of dynasties wishes to quickly eliminate the Great Han. It is impolite not to reciprocate.

"Wei Zhongxian, report to the morning court tomorrow!"
...
Morning court at the Xuanzheng Hall, March 16th, Second Year of Han.
At this moment, in the imperial court, the ancient heroes had undergone a qualitative leap. Their formidable strength pressed upon the native officials, filling them with shock!
Cheng Yaojin, Lu Kang, Shan Xiongxin, and Zhang Han, who were in the Spirit Venerable realm, had already received Myriad Venerable Pills from the Alchemy Hall yesterday. With a little more time, they would surely step into the Heavenly Martial realm.
"Dispatch an imperial decree to Zhang Liao, to lead the Vermillion Bird Legion and attack the Blood Sun Dynasty. Limit the generals to two months to conquer it, then march north to attack the Heavenly Origin Dynasty!"
"Dispatch an imperial decree to Meng Tian, to temporarily lead the Azure Dragon Legion, the Sky-Splitting Rhinoceros Legion, and the Qiongqi Legion to attack the Holy Origin Dynasty. Order Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui, Wang Baobao, and Shan Xiongxin to temporarily accompany the three legions on this expedition. Limit the generals to two months to conquer it, then march east to attack the Northern Cold Dynasty!" Su Dan Novel Network
During Yang Hao's Qian Yuan Holy Festival, the Qiongqi Legion and the Qilin Legion were newly established. The Qiongqi Legion's commander was Meng Tian, with Zhang Han as his deputy. The Qilin Legion's main general was Qin Qiong, with Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin as deputies!
"Dispatch an imperial decree to Qi Jiguang, to confer upon Qi Jiguang the title of Commander of the Kui Niu Legion. Li Wenzhong shall be the deputy commander, leading the Kui Niu Legion to attack the Great Cloud Dynasty. Limit the generals to two months to conquer it, then march east to attack the Cangmu Dynasty!"
After Yang Hao stepped into the Heavenly Martial realm, he could leverage the power of Destiny to break through two major realms. As for realms beyond the Meld Heaven Realm, they were called the Heaven Transformation Realm. However, currently, in the southwestern region, every hundred years it would be suppressed by the Ancient Desolation. For hundreds of thousands of years, let alone Heaven Transformation realm experts, even high-level Meld Heaven realm experts were extremely rare.
As the imperial decree was issued, all the civil and military officials were shocked and aghast. Although rumors had circulated over a month ago that the King would declare war on the dynasties, they had initially thought it would only be against the Holy Origin Dynasty. However, they never expected that at the outset, King Han, Yang Hao, with a majestic gaze, had cultivated his Human King's aura to its utmost.
The war immediately commenced with declarations of war on three great dynasties!
This was the top-tier power in the human lands of the southwestern region. Although the war between dynasties had been ongoing for over two months, the foundation of these dynasties, accumulated over nearly one hundred thousand years, was far beyond what the current Great Han could contend with.
Yang Hao swept his gaze across the court, his majesty suppressing all!
"Changsun Wuji, Bao Zheng, ensure the selection of officials. Once the army captures a city, infrastructure and officials must swiftly arrive to pacify and construct!"
"Prime Minister, announce immediately that the Great Han declares war on the three great dynasties and issue a declaration of war to the human lands!"
On March 17th, Second Year of Han, a declaration of war swept through the human lands like a raging tidal wave.
"The Great Cloud, Holy Origin, and Blood Sun Dynasties are in decline. Their three Human Emperors have lost their lords and have no担当 as Human Emperors; their foolish orders are issued, yet they seek no wise strategists to win battles from afar; the empire is in decline, and it is difficult to find ministers to defend the nation and pacify the people; the holy war is imminent, yet they cannot consider the safety of the human race. They see no generals who can conquer, only seeking personal desires, and openly provoking a war between dynasties."
"The Eastern Desolation's southwestern region is filled with smoke and fire, stretching for thousands of miles. Half of the human lands are littered with corpses and starving people; the vast heavens and earth are like drifting logs for ten thousand miles."
"Now, the Lord of the Great Han Dynasty—Yang Hao, commands the human lands, and for the safety and peace of the human race, will march against the three great dynasties, for both family and national grievances."
