As the alchemist’s head was severed in the void, Yang Hao slowly descended from the dozens of feet high sacrificial altar.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, after two years, the Great Han Dynasty has officially established itself in the Cangyuan World, a magnificent world is slowly unfolding!"
"Ding! Award the host ten million faith points!"
Listening to the system's message, Yang Hao smiled. Although ten million faith points were not a lot, it was an unexpected gain.
"System, check all the spoils!"
Hua Mulan, Fu Hao, Li Bai, and Li Si, from the peak of the Chang'an Imperial Palace, split and killed four ancient desolate creation powerhouses, gaining a lot of kill points. Coupled with unifying the southwestern region, ascending to the dynasty, and completing the main and branch missions, the harvest was also quite substantial!
"Ding! Host's kill points: twenty-four million, faith points: ten million, reincarnation power: two million five hundred thousand!"
"Ding! Host has completed the main mission, obtaining two opportunities to summon ancient heroes. Host has completed the branch mission, obtaining one opportunity to summon ancient heroes!"
"Ding! Does the host wish to summon!"
"Summon!" Yang Hao smiled joyfully. With the birth of the last two ancient heroes of the first level of the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Reincarnation, Hua Mulan and Fu Hao, the carved figures on the outer wall of the first level of the pagoda all disappeared, and the entire first level emitted a faint golden light.
Yang Hao was also extremely looking forward to the ancient heroes in the second and third levels!
"Ding! Successfully deducted one opportunity to summon ancient heroes!"
"Ding! The system is now summoning!"
The second level of the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Reincarnation suddenly flashed with golden light. The intensity of the golden light was even more dazzling than the first level. As the golden light flashed, the sounds of the Great Dao reverberated in all directions, a galaxy spread out, and starlight flowed, no different from the phenomenon of summoning ancient heroes on the first level!
The river of history spread out, and historical fragments flickered past. On the silver river, wisps of ethereal energy drifted.
For a time, the sound of the Dao permeated the air, resounding like the roar of gods. On the second level of the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Reincarnation, a carved figure suddenly lit up with golden light.
Yang Hao looked at the shining carved figure. He had summoned ancient heroes from the second level before, but not many, only one or two. Following the golden light, except for the fourth level which had no carved figures, the number of carved figures decreased significantly as one went higher, becoming rarer and rarer.
Yang Hao glanced at it and stopped thinking about it. Looking at the shining golden carved figure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Swish!
Boom!
A five-colored galaxy appeared, stars shifted and turned, shining brightly!
A figure, holding a long saber that seemed to have a faint flowing light, stepped out from the river of history!
The moment the figure stepped out, the lit carved figures on the second level instantly turned into specks of starlight and merged directly into the fourth level of the pagoda.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the top general from the river of history - Gao Changgong!"
"Huh?"
Yang Hao couldn't help but frown. Gao Changgong, the Prince of Lanling!
This Prince of Lanling who always wore a bronze mask when going into battle!
Gao Changgong was a member of the Northern Qi royal family during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. His main achievements were the Battle of Mangshan and the Battle of Bailang City, which were the highlights of his life!
He won battles repeatedly, and his fame and prestige spread far and wide, until his power surpassed that of the ruler!
Finally, a cup of poisoned wine ended his life!
What a pity!
As Yang Hao descended the stairs, his primordial spirit looked at the figure in the river of history and said faintly, "He deliberately withdrew, even feigning illness at home, but his fame was too great, and he had long been a thorn in the eye of Emperor Gao Wei!"
"Check Gao Changgong's detailed information!"
"Name: Gao Changgong"
"Also known as: Gao Xiaoguan, Gao Su"
"Dynasty: Northern Qi"
"Cultivation: Creation Layer Five!"
"Cultivation Technique: Divine Strike Saber Art!"
"Attached troops: Top-tier troops - Hundred Thousand Great Qi Elite Soldiers!"
Experience: Grandson of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, fourth son of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, mother unknown. A member of the Northern Qi royal family and general during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, enfeoffed as Prince of Lanling.
Gao Changgong was gentle in appearance but brave in heart, with a beautiful voice and appearance. As a general, he was diligent and meticulous, always sharing any delicacies he received, even a single melon or a few fruits, with his soldiers.
He was successively promoted to Prefect of Bingzhou. When the Tujue attacked Jinyang, Gao Changgong bravely repelled them. In the Battle of Mangshan, Gao Changgong led the central army and, with five hundred cavalry, broke through the Zhou army's encirclement and reached Jinyong City. Because Gao Changgong wore a helmet, the people in the city were unsure whether it was the enemy or our army. Only when Gao Changgong took off his helmet did the people on the city walls realize it was Gao Changgong, and they sent archers to protect him. Afterward, Gao Changgong successfully relieved Jinyong. Gao Changgong's prestige soared in this battle, and the soldiers sang his praises, which later became the well-known "Lanling King Enters the Battle Song."
Later, he served as Minister of Works, Minister of Personnel, Grand Marshal, Grand Tutor, and Grand Commandant. He campaigned with Duan Shao in Baigu and attacked Dingyang.
When Duan Shao fell ill, Gao Changgong took charge of his troops. He was successively enfeoffed as Duke of Julu, Changle, Leping, and Gaoyang for his military achievements. Later, due to his statement that "national affairs are family affairs," he incurred the hatred of Emperor Gao Wei of Northern Qi and was granted death by Gao Wei in the fourth year of Wuping. After his death, the court posthumously awarded him the title of Grand Commandant and the posthumous name Wu.

"Great Elder, the Fourth Elder Zifu has fallen!"
Within the secret realm, a man in blood-red clothes wearing a black mask spoke with a cold voice, showing no sign of grief over Zifu's death.
"Hmm, so he died. So be it!"
An ancient voice echoed in the cave: "How is the matter I entrusted to you proceeding?"
"Reporting to the Elder, it is proceeding very smoothly. Young Master Qianhua is full of praise for the Elder!"
The man in blood-red clothes lowered his head slightly, showing great humility.
"Hmm!"
"Since Young Master Qianhua likes it, then this matter is bound to succeed!"
"The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body suddenly appeared in the northernmost part of the Heavenly Demon Desolate Domain. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for the Barren Realm!"
"Great Elder!"
The man in blood-red clothes said in a deep voice, "According to the message from the tribesmen of the Holy Land, the Desolate Lord of Heavenly Stone, the Desolate Lord of Heavenly Sword, and the Desolate Lord of Bloodthirst have met at the Holy Land!"
"Whether it is a blessing or a curse, none of that matters now!"
"What matters is that the appearance of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body this time will surely change the pattern of the Barren Realm completely. After all, there is only one Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. No matter who among the three obtains it, it will surely provoke the armies of other desolate domains!"
"This is a hot potato. The Human Emperor of Wu is a lesson from the past!"
"You are right!"
The ancient voice was extremely satisfied: "Go and tell Young Master Qianhua that I will do my utmost to assist!"
"If that is the case, then I shall take my leave!"
...
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out: "Great Elder, is this matter truly feasible?"
"The Desolate Lord currently shows no anomalies. If we act like this, are you not afraid of dragging our Nine-Headed Serpent lineage into the abyss?"
