"Imperial decree!"
"By order, Wang Zhongsi shall serve as commander of the Qilin Legion, to conquer the Dragon Nether Sacred Court and the Heaven Mending Pavilion!"
Several days later, the Dragon Nether Sacred Court and the Heaven Mending Pavilion jointly declared war on the Great Han Sacred Court. An imperial decree, issued directly from the Ministry of Military Affairs, announced this to all quarters!
Instantly, the fringes of the Immortal Realm were thrown into turmoil. It had been ten thousand years since such a grand war had erupted. The last time a powerful force on the Immortal Realm's edge waged war was before the Ancient Immortal Emperor's ascension, when he attacked the Dragon Nether Sacred Court. However, that campaign ended in defeat for the Ancient Immortal Emperor. Since then, a decade of peace had brought prosperity to the Immortal Realm's fringes!
And today, the Great Han, having advanced to the status of a Sacred Court, possessed immense power, bolstered by the Danxue Mountain, and rumored to have an Immortal Emperor of the human race, launched an offensive against the Dragon Nether Sacred Court and the Heaven Mending Pavilion, with its armies marching forth!
With its formidable foundation, the Great Han abandoned its past forbearance and stratagems, directly dispatching troops to declare war on the two factions!
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Outside Chang'an City, before the military camp.
Wang Zhongsi received the imperial decree, surveyed the three armies of the Qilin Legion, raised the imperial edict, and roared, "Qilin Legion, march!"
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
The vast Qilin Legion entered the Rice Granary Pass. On the coast of the Great Han, immortal treasure warships were already waiting.
The army marched directly towards the Dragon Nether Sacred Court and the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
...
"System, how much reincarnation power is needed to summon an ancient hero of the Immortal Emperor realm!!"
"Ding! Reminder to host, summoning an Immortal Emperor realm hero requires seventy-five million units of reincarnation power!"
"Use one billion killing points and one billion luck and merit points to exchange for reincarnation power!"
Yang Hao did not hesitate. He had no worries about conquering the Dragon Nether Sacred Court and the Heaven Mending Pavilion, but his concern lay with Mengzhou in the depths of the Immortal Realm, where he was surrounded by enemies and under immense pressure.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting one billion killing points and one billion luck and merit points, obtaining two hundred million units of reincarnation power!"
"Summon ancient heroes!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted seventy-five million units of reincarnation power, commencing the summoning of ancient heroes!"
"Weng~~"
At this moment, a golden river traversed the void deep within the Sea of Souls. Sails bearing banners passed by, moving from the Spring and Autumn period to the Three Kingdoms era of the late Eastern Han. Military bugles sounded across the land, ancient roads extended outward, and a simple carriage emerged from the river in the void!
The seventh layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower, a carved figure, flashed and shot into the fourth layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless renowned scholar from the river of history - Wolong - Zhuge Liang!!"
Upon seeing the figure appear, Yang Hao's heart surged with excitement. This Zhuge Liang, renowned for his wisdom and portrayed as almost demonic in the legends, had finally emerged. At this moment, he understood that the powerful heroes who had once suppressed their eras would emerge one by one!
Xue Rengui, Lu Bu... they were not far off!
Zhuge Liang!
Unparalleled scholar since the Two Han Dynasties, the foremost figure after three generations!
At this moment, in the depths of Mengzhou territory in the Immortal Realm, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, and even Zhang Liao, along with other heroes, all turned their faces towards Chang'an City, sensing the familiar aura descending upon this world!
"Chancellor!"
Guan Yu and the other heroes bowed respectfully to the prime minister who, even until his death, had planned the future for the Shu Han regime!
In the historical records, Zhuge Liang experienced the Longzhong Plan, his debut, the Battle of Red Cliffs, the consolidation of Jing and Yi, the entrustment of the heir by the former lord, the Northern Expeditions, and his death from illness, all dedicated to the Han cause!
Du Fu even said: "Zhuge's great name echoes through the cosmos, his loyal image stands tall and pure. He devised strategies for three divided realms, his legacy a feather in the vast skies."
In the legendary accounts, Zhuge Liang's exploits were even more brilliant, from burning Bowangpo; ambushing and drowning, then burning Cao's army; engaging in eloquent debates with the scholars, matching wits with Zhou Yu, burning Red Cliffs, and safely retreating; pursuing Cao's army, capturing Jiangling, and enraging Zhou Yu to death; later devising the plan for Chengdu; marching six times towards Mount Qi, extending his life with the Seven Stars, and after his death, eliminating Wei Yan, demonstrating a hundred strategies and predicting the enemy with divine accuracy!
"View detailed information for Wolong - Zhuge Liang!"
"Name: Zhuge Liang"
"Courtesy name: Kongming"
"Epithet: Wolong"
"Era: Late Han and Three Kingdoms period"
"Cultivation: Immortal Emperor, fourth layer!"
"Technique: Bagua Xiantian Jing!"
"Associated troops: None!"
Experience: Zhuge Liang, known as Wolong, possessed the talent to govern heaven and earth and schemes unfathomable by spirits.
Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, Xiangyang. It was Xu Shu who, upon leaving, recommended him to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's three visits to his hut, Zhuge Liang emerged and devised a plan to burn Bowangpo when Cao's army attacked, earning the admiration of Guan and Zhang.
Later, Cao Cao continued his southward advance, and Liu Bei was forced to retreat to Jiangxia. As they departed, Zhuge Liang set up an ambush, using water and fire to destroy Cao Cao's army, halting his pursuit.
To forge an alliance between Sun and Liu, Zhuge Liang journeyed to Jiangdong, where he debated with scholars and persuaded Sun Quan to jointly resist Cao Cao.
During their cooperation, he worked with Zhou Yu but engaged in strategic battles, burning Red Cliffs and predicting Cao Cao's great defeat. He had Zhao Yun, who was waiting with a small boat, come to escort him back safely. Upon returning to Liu Bei's camp, he dispatched Guan, Zhang, and Zhao to pursue Cao Cao, leading to the famous incident at Huarong Pass.
Zhuge Liang tricked Zhou Yu, captured Jiangling, counterattacked Jingzhou, and saw through Zhou Yu's feigned invasion of Guo strategy, enraging Zhou Yu, who died from his arrow wound exacerbated.
When Liu Bei entered Shu, Pang Tong died. Zhuge Liang instructed Guan Yu to "ally with Sun Wu in the east and resist Cao Cao in the north." He later entered Shu to support him, seized Chengdu in the process, and participated in the Battle of Hanzhong, persuading the officials to have Liu Bei declare himself king.
After Liu Bei's failed campaign against Wu, he entrusted Zhuge Liang with the care of his son Liu Chan and his two younger brothers, Liu Yong and Liu Li, at Baidi City, instructing them to recognize Zhuge Liang as their fatherly prime minister.
When Liu Chan ascended the throne, Cao Wei's Sima Yi devised a plan with five armies to attack Shu Han. Zhuge Liang, without leaving the prime minister's mansion, repelled all five armies.
Subsequently, Zhuge Liang deployed troops and generals, conquering the Southern Man tribes in seven campaigns by capturing and releasing Meng Huo. However, he felt that the excessive bloodshed during the burning of Wutugu had shortened his lifespan.
Later, Zhuge Liang led his army on a northern expedition, marching six times towards Mount Qi. Although he achieved some military successes, he failed to conquer the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty.
Before his life's end, he arranged the Seven Stars formation to extend his life, but Wei Yan inadvertently extinguished the lamp. He then passed on his lifelong learning and strategies to Jiang Wei before passing away.
"With Wolong - Zhuge Liang's emergence, Mengzhou can be secured!"
Looking at Zhuge Liang's figure, Yang Hao felt reassured. The resourceful Zhuge Liang would surely stabilize Mengzhou, and in the depths of the Immortal Realm, he would develop rapidly, laying a solid foundation for the Great Han's future expansion into the Immortal Realm's interior.
After closing Zhuge Liang's profile, Yang Hao calmed his excited emotions. Immortal Emperors, Quasi-Emperors, and Immortal Emperors were not far off. The peerless prodigies who shone through the ages would emerge one by one, expanding the Great Han's territory by tens of thousands of miles and establishing unparalleled merits!
