Unifying the world is such a trivial matter. In Yunhua's eyes, this matter is truly not difficult at all.
As long as sufficient power is demonstrated, a human dynasty can be established, and the emperor will be respected throughout the world.
In fact, although it is called a unified system, it is not unified because of the special nature of the cultivation world and the special nature of human destiny.
It would be enough if the powers in each region acknowledged the rule of the Kingdom of Stone, accepted its imperial decrees, and declared themselves subjects of the Kingdom of Stone.
After the Emperor's Seal is affixed with the imperial edict, the fortunes of all directions will flow into the Stone Kingdom and into the Emperor, just as rivers flow into the sea.
At that time, the Emperor, supreme and noble, will bestow titles upon his ministers, who will also enjoy the dynasty's fortune, greatly increasing their cultivation. Under the protection of the Emperor's fortune, they will be immune to all calamities.
This is the mystery of humanity. The Fire Emperor remained silent, indicating that he could not comprehend the thoughts of someone at Yunhua's level.
Meanwhile, the other outsiders continued to shout and sneer.
The other forces in the desolate region, however, remained quiet. They couldn't help but be quiet.
Having just survived a great calamity, the various forces in the desolate region suffered heavy losses, giving the major sects outside the region the confidence to say no to Shi Hao and the confidence to step forward at this time.
They wouldn't dare. Otherwise, who knows if they would be purged after the Emperor's Ceremony.
"This is the imperial palace, how dare you make such a racket?" Shi Hao frowned and glared at the crowd.
"Silence!" The Emperor's words were law, forming a decree that suppressed all noise.
Everyone was shocked, and even the Venerable One was shaken.
Xiao Shi's cultivation has progressed extremely rapidly, and his combat strength has not lagged behind either, reaching an unpredictable level.
He is absolutely capable of defeating the strongest among the Venerables while holding the rank of King of the Array.
"I'm just informing you, not asking for your opinions." Shi Hao's eyes shone brightly, his presence imposing.
"The eight regions are in chaos, each following its own path; there must be unified rules."
Chapter 1146 Celestial Change
"Heh," someone sneered, "So, you think Shi Guo is capable of being the one to set these rules?"
"This is the most ridiculous thing in the world."
"A force that will cease to exist after today, yet it harbors such grand ambitions, hahahaha."
The man laughed as he spoke, his laughter filled with sarcasm.
A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the sky, causing space to distort. Divine light filled the heavens, and a powerful pressure descended from the firmament. The heavens were in turmoil!
The commotion in the sky was immense, even greater than the last time the heavens had changed. Many people turned pale with shock.
"Has only been six months, and is another great calamity about to descend?"
"Heaven has annihilated all living beings!" Many people wore sorrowful expressions. The events of the last great calamity were still vivid in their minds. They never expected that such a short time had passed before it would happen again.
"Unifying the eight regions? What a joke!" a Venerable One sneered.
“After today, the Kingdom of Stone will cease to exist.”
“Those who are like ants forget their place once they gain power.”
"All eight regions must submit and recognize their own status as lambs."
Many of the Venerable Ones looked at Shi Hao with cold smiles. They were all people with backgrounds in the Three Thousand Provinces.
Furthermore, the reason why the second great calamity occurred today is that they specifically informed the forces of the three thousand provinces about Shi Hao's plan to hold the Human Emperor Ceremony.
This is why the cult leaders above were so eager to descend to the mortal realm and capture Shi Hao.
Otherwise, there would be at least a one- or two-year interval between each major calamity, giving those cult leaders ample time to prepare.
Shi Hao glanced at the sky, where the changes were becoming increasingly drastic. It seemed as if someone was about to cross infinite space, break through all barriers, and descend upon this world.
But Shi Hao's expression remained unchanged, still composed.
With his head slightly lowered, Shi Hao looked at the extraterrestrial venerables who were jumping around excitedly.
"Spreading heresies and misleading the masses, he shall be executed!" Shi Hao stretched out one hand, and the Kun fish swam out of the water and transformed into a Peng bird. Terrifying divine power exploded, striking many Venerables.
"You're ten years too early to be our enemy!"
Many venerable beings from beyond the realm spoke coldly, and they all attacked Shi Hao in unison.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Human Emperor!" Many Venerables from the Stone and Fire Kingdoms roared in anger and joined the battle.
"Boom!" It was as if the sky had turned upside down, as if the earth had been overturned. The Imperial Capital's grand formation unleashed a monstrous surge of energy that spread across the ten directions of the heavens.
Fortunately, the imperial capital's grand formation was activated instantly, suppressing the remaining power to the greatest extent possible.
Yunhua also secretly reinforced the formation; otherwise, most of the people present would have been killed by the shockwave.
"How did they suddenly start fighting?" Huo Ling'er's red dress fluttered in the wind as she stared in disbelief at the sudden turn of events.
How come they started fighting right after the ceremony was over and Shi Hao had just spoken?
"From the beginning, Little One never intended to waste any more words with them," Yunhua explained from the side.
"He stated his purpose directly, a purpose that many major sects from outside the region would absolutely not accept."
"There was simply no way to continue the talks."
"A great calamity is about to erupt; further discussion is useless, only war remains."
Shi Hao could have negotiated with these powerful sects from beyond the realm. If he hadn't immediately told them to submit, there would have been plenty of room for discussion.
For example, some powerful sects outside the region were even thinking of using the upcoming second great calamity to win over Shi Hao.
But Shi Hao revealed his true intentions directly and acted decisively, so there was nothing left to discuss.
Shi Hao has already made his move; they can't just stand by and do nothing.
Before he even had a chance to utter a few more harsh words and humiliate Shi Hao with his superior attitude, the battle broke out directly.
Not only was Huo Ling'er surprised, but even the Venerables from beyond the realm were taken aback.
At least give us a chance to threaten or try to win you over. If that doesn't work, then try some more verbal attacks!
That's breaking the rules. But Shi Hao's decisiveness is quite normal.
If I don't act cleanly and decisively, am I supposed to keep arguing with you, stalling for time, and waiting for the person behind me to arrive?
At the same time, it also saved us from a lot of arguments.
The battlefield was in chaos, and a single move could have far-reaching consequences. Shi Hao's reckless attack directly triggered a melee among dozens of Venerables.
Of course, not every Venerable One made a move.
For example, at Mount Bulao, they are not only revered figures, but even deities have come.
But none of them made a move; they remained on the sidelines, even deliberately keeping their distance, their attitude clearly: "Don't touch me."
The capital was greatly shaken; if it weren't for the Yunhua's blessing on the capital's formation, it would have been completely wiped out.
The combined power of dozens of Venerable Ones is devastating and difficult to resist for an imperial capital.
A shockwave swept across the sky and the earth, divine light filled the heavens, and different kinds of oppressive power shook people's hearts.
"Uncle Yun, aren't you going to help?" Huo Ling'er asked worriedly.
"Shi Hao is only at the Formation Realm. It seems very dangerous for him to be in such a chaotic battle among Venerables."
After considering for a moment, Yunhua said, "These people are too weak."
"If I intervene, people will say I'm bullying the weak."
Well, actually Yunhua didn't care about attacking the Venerable One, or bullying the weak.
But this is clearly an opportunity for Shi Hao to hone his skills!
"Trust him," the Fire Emperor said from the side.
He completely failed to understand why his daughter was so worried. What's the situation now?
Amidst a group of middle-aged and old men, Shi Hao, the only youth on the battlefield, was unparalleled. His imperial dragon aura shook the heavens and the earth, and most of the Venerables found it difficult to fight him for long.
Because they couldn't withstand Shi Hao's power. This is clearly a situation where they should be wary of the other Venerables...
Shi Hao trained diligently for another six months, and under various conditions, his cultivation greatly improved. Now, with the support of the formation and the great power of the imperial way, his combat strength has broken through the heavens.
Although the other Venerables from the Stone Kingdom and Fire Kingdom could not mobilize the power of the Imperial Way, they were also blessed by the Imperial Capital's Grand Array, which greatly increased their strength.
Therefore, although Shi Hao and his group were outnumbered, their quality was at least not inferior.
The Fire Emperor focused some of his attention on the battlefield, and he had lost count of how many times he had marveled at Shi Hao's talent and combat prowess.
He focused most of his energy on a few other people around the battlefield.
Those were several deities, deities from beyond the realm.
The Fire Emperor and Little Red Bird are confronting and restraining the other gods.
This is why no deity has intervened so far.
"Boom!"
The commotion in the sky grew louder and louder, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and the space crackling and splintering.
The sky has cracked, and there's a good chance it will develop a hole next.
Chapter 1147 Enemy from the Sky
Yunhua looked up at the sky and seemed to see a bell, a two-story pagoda, and a broken divine plate.
These three magical artifacts are only a part of the story; they are the harvesters that appeared during the last great calamity.
In addition, there were several other figures with hazy, indistinct shadows.
For example, a figure radiating immortal golden light, indestructible and eternal.
There was another figure, with yin and yang energies flowing around him, seemingly wearing a Taoist robe.
There were also several other extraordinary individuals. Although they were only vaguely visible, their divine power could be barely sensed.
In Yunhua's eyes, these objects and people were slowly moving towards the Eight Domains.
Every step forward seemed to be met with tremendous resistance, but they came with determination and at a considerable pace.
"Very determined," Yunhua murmured.
Descending to the Eight Realms is not as simple as just coming and going as you please.
There will be a price to pay, and many limitations will apply after its arrival. The biggest limitation is its duration.
At the same time, only a little over six months have passed since their last arrival, which is too long an interval.
This further increases the difficulty.
But these cult leaders remained resolute, determined to descend upon the Eight Regions and capture Shi Hao, no matter the cost.
This young man is simply irresistible.
"They're practically becoming Tang Monk's flesh."
Yunhua shook her head gently, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Tang Monk's flesh is the best! If it weren't Tang Monk's flesh, how could it attract others?
If you don't attract others, how can you encounter many formidable rivals?
How can one be tempered and refined without encountering many formidable enemies?
How can one make rapid progress without undergoing more trials and tribulations?
Seeing that Yunhua kept his head up, Huoling couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Yun, what are you looking at?"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there except for the increasingly violent fluctuations.
“I see a very enthusiastic group of people who want to visit me and are even preparing to give me gifts,” Yunhua replied.
Although I'm alone in a foreign land—well, I can't really call it a foreign land, since this is still the land of nine heavens and ten earths.
Although he was alone in his hometown in a different time and space, there were always such warm-hearted people who brought him warmth.
The reason behind it is heartwarming.
Huo Ling'er was somewhat surprised and kept looking up, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.
