The Barbarian Kingdom.
Terrifying qi surged towards Great Wei.
Under the absolute power, the Barbarian Kingdom did not have any hint of resistance.
The Barbarian Kingdom surrendered.
This surrender was somewhat sudden.
Neither the Primordial Yuan Dynasty nor the Sudden Evil Dynasty reacted.
It was a little too soon.
Here they were still fighting for you, but your side actually surrendered straight away?
You really didn’t give any face to the two dynasties.
Especially the fact that the Barbarian Kingdom had issued an edict of sin, this was something they hadn’t expected in any way.
The fact that the Barbarian Kingdom had issued an edict of guilt meant that they had admitted to the invasion war and deserved to be destroyed by the Great Wei.
Only, everyone in the world understood that it was not the Barbarian Kingdom’s early surrender, but Xu Qingnian’s Divine Martial Artillery, which was too terrifying.
A few cannons in a row was not enough, but what was even better was that Xu Qingnian had four Divine Martial Artillery Cannons.
No one could stand up to Xu Qingnian.
With these four Divine Martial Cannons, the barbarians would be defeated.
Even the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the First Yuan Dynasty could not protect the barbarians, Xu Qingnian said.
Therefore, if they surrendered directly now, they would at least be able to save a little bit, otherwise they would continue to but stubbornly resist, and if they P*ssed off Xu Qingnian, it would be a bloodbath by then.
The barbarian king surrendered to kill himself, in fact, is the best choice.
But the main reason was the attitude of the two dynasties.
Once the barbarians were defeated, the two dynasties did not hesitate to ask for resources.
In other words, he himself was nothing more than a pawn of the two dynasties, and the kind of pawn that could be discarded at the drop of a hat.
The barbarians knew this, but the barbarians did not expect the two dynasties to be so ruthless.
Since that was the case, it would be better to drag down the two dynasties before they died.
And with the surrender of the barbarians.
Great Wei had won this battle in its entirety.
It was a victory in a foreign war, and naturally, the Qi of the barbarian kingdoms surged towards Great Wei.
When a dynasty is in its prime, peace is the foundation, and once the country is settled, it is only a matter of expanding its borders.
When Great Wei finished opening up its borders during its heyday, it was only natural that the country’s fortune would be increased tremendously.
At this moment.
Above the capital of Great Wei.
The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron glowed brightly, and the sound of the dragon’s roar grew louder and louder.
Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Inside the imperial palace.
Someone’s voice could not help but ring out.
“Xu Qingnian, when it comes to the sky, it is really a great plan.”
“He had already counted on this step, he had thought of this step since before the barbarian invasion war.”
“The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron, has reached the time of metamorphosis, if it wants to truly metamorphose into the Dragon Cauldron of the Central Continent, it must expand externally.”
“He expected that the barbarians would invade Great Wei, so he has been holding back, preferring to sacrifice the lives of the people of Great Wei in twenty-three cities, just to forge the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent.”
“This man, he is too ruthless, I have miscalculated, I thought he was a Confucian sub-sage, he should have pity on the people of the world, but I never thought that he had made such a plan.”
The Sudden Evil Chancellor spoke.
He had counted on many things, but he had not counted that Xu Qingnian would make this move.
From the very beginning, Xu Qingnian had thought of everything.
“Does the prime minister mean that Xu Qingnian knew that the barbarians would invade Great Wei?”
“This son has such a deep heart?”
“Twenty-three cities, giving up twenty-three cities of people, for this?”
The hundred officials of the Sudden Evil were curious and looked at the Prime Minister of the Sudden Evil.
“En.”
The Sudden Evil Prime Minister sighed, he did not want to answer, but this was the truth.
When this was said, the Sudden Evil Emperor but couldn’t help but frown and look at his own Prime Minister and say.
“If this is the case, isn’t he afraid that I will join forces with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty?”
“Although Great Wei is strong, the two dynasties joining forces are not something that Great Wei can provoke.”
The Great Emperor of Sudden Evil inquired.
At these words, the Sudden Evil Chancellor could not help but sigh and look at the Sudden Evil Emperor.
“Your Majesty, if the barbarians had invaded before, Great Wei would indeed not dare to provoke the two great dynasties, but this time it was the barbarians who took the lead in invading, so naturally Great Wei has no fear.”
“Having stood above morality, this is also a common tactic used by Xu Qingnian.”
“Moreover, now that the barbarian kingdom has been defeated, it is highly likely that the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron will also be forged into the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron.”
“Xu Qingnian is gambling on this, if the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron is unable to metamorphose, then Xu Qingnian will let go, but if the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron is metamorphosing, then Great Wei will have no fear of the pressure from the two dynasties.”
The Chancellor of Sudden Evil sighed and said so.
As soon as he said this, the crowd understood what Chancellor Tu Xie had said.
“Then is there any other good strategy?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor asked.
When this was said, the Sudden Evil Prime Minister thought for a moment, and then slowly said.
“Your Majesty, I believe that right now there are two paths to take.”
He replied.
“Speak straightforwardly, Ai Qing.”
The Great Emperor of Sudden Evil spoke out.
“Your Majesty, at the moment, either we can build an alliance with Great Wei and request Great Wei to share the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon with me, and can be willing to share the hardships with Great Wei, which is the alliance policy.”
“The second way is to unite with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and exert pressure on Great Wei, after all, this battle is in the end the power of the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, or someone is secretly playing a role, no one can say.”
“One can use this matter to suppress Great Wei.”
The Chancellor of Sudden Evil spoke up.
But as soon as this was said, the crowd all frowned.
There was no other reason.
If the Tusi Dynasty were to meet with Wei at this juncture, it would not be a good thing for Tusi.
It was just that the ministers did not say anything, it was the fate of the country at stake, they could not say anything, they could only let the Emperor of Turkestan decide for himself.
“It is basically certain that this is the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
The Sudden Evil Emperor spoke out, emphasising the point.
Because the First Grade Martial Artist of Sudden Evil had made it clear that this was the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, it could not be that there was a First Grade secretly striking, and if it was a First Grade secretly striking, it would be even more dangerous.
But the Sudden Evil Chancellor shook his head and looked at the Sudden Evil Emperor and said.
“Your Majesty, no one can prove whether it is or is not, unless Wei gives the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon to the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the First Yuan Dynasty for a look.
The Chancellor of the Sudden Evil dynasty spoke up, looking calm as he said this.
“There is one more thing, Xu Qingnian took out four First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannons, which is not wrong, but the question is, at such a distance, who can be sure that they are real?”
“How difficult is it to refine a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, I think that if Sudden Evil doesn’t understand, doesn’t the Primordial Yuan Dynasty understand?”
“I understand that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty had already started secretly refining the Heavenly Thunder Cannon a few years ago, and until now has only refined the third grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“What makes Great Wei able to refine a first grade?”
“Even if he, Xu Qingnian, is heavenly talented and raises the power of his country, it is impossible to refine four of them, after all, this kind of thing requires extremely special materials.”
“Therefore, I conclude that there should only be one first-rate Heavenly Thunder Cannon in Great Wei, and the rest are just defective or half-finished products.”
“As long as the two dynasties join hands and ask for the remnants or semi-finished products from Great Wei, it would be good for both countries.”
“The process will certainly be difficult, but it is better than what is happening now.”
So said the Chancellor.
At this point, the crowd did nod their heads, thinking that the Prime Minister was right.
But the Emperor’s voice could not help but ring out.
“Would Great Wei, then, be so willing?”
He frowned slightly.
Nowadays, Great Wei was rich and strong, plus it had refined such a war divine weapon, so why should it be given to Sudden Evil?
With the help of such a thing, plus the number of First Grade martial artists that Great Wei itself possessed.
To be honest, the two dynasties are not really qualified to fight with Wei.
If they were to fight, it would be a lose-lose situation and no one would be able to benefit from it, and most likely the two dynasties would pay a heavy price.
Since Wei is not afraid of war, it is unlikely that it will be so easy to get what it wants.
“So your majesty will have to choose clearly whether it is the peace talks approach, or rather the strong attack approach?”
“The purpose of everything is for the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, the rest is fine.”
“Your Majesty must be clear, at the moment, Great Wei wants to forge the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron, which is a legendary divine artefact that can help the dynasty truly go to its heyday.”
“Would the Great Wei Dynasty give up on such a divine artefact?”
“And after defeating the barbarians, it doesn’t mean that Great Wei will be able to forge the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron, they still need time, and it’s a fact that if they want to forge the real Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron, they must unify the Zhongzhou.”
“Therefore, Great Wei will not choose to fight rashly either.”
“Barbarian kingdoms, it’s nothing, Great Wei doesn’t dare to meet the two dynasties in arms, and when it comes to a full-scale war, it’s not something that can be solved by a single one-cla*s Heavenly Thunder cannon.”
“Cannons are dead things, but people are alive.”
The Sudden Evil Chancellor spoke at length, analysing the battle.
When the words were finished, the Sudden Evil Emperor’s did come to a clear understanding.
“Then, according to Ai Qing’s meaning, which path should be chosen?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor asked.
If he made the right choice, he would be promoted to a higher rank, but if he made the wrong choice, he could go back to his hometown.
He was not stupid, he had reached this position, there was no point in adding to his rank, so he bowed his head and said.
“Your Majesty, I can’t choose for a moment.”
He gave his reply, bowing his head.
“Then you help me analyse whether both are good or bad.”
The Sudden Evil Emperor knew what the other was thinking, but was not annoyed and asked in a different way.
Gu/span “Back to Your Majesty.”
“The advantage of making peace with Great Wei is that we can negotiate slowly and not get to the point of no return, and the eventual consequences, I think Great Wei will definitely ask for all sorts of benefits, such as the materials to refine the first-rate cannon.”
“But I am also worried about one thing, that is, the Great Wei is openly making peace with us, but in reality it is secretly developing until it is strong, after all, I know something about the Dragon Cauldron in the Middle Continent.”
“Amongst the rumours, the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent, is a supreme divine object, once a dynasty has coalesced the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent, then the whole dynasty will be greatly transformed.”
“Mountain springs will turn into spiritual water, grain fields can grow spiritual rice, and even some precious and rare medicinal herbs will become extremely abundant.”
“Twenty to thirty years later, the people of Great Wei, just eating rice and drinking mountain springs, will be able to enter the ranks and become martial artists.”
“So if Great Wei has the intention to delay, it is very likely that the two great dynasties will be dragged down alive by Great Wei.”
Chancellor Tuo Xie spoke out.
He was very straightforward in his analysis, peace talks would definitely be the best thing to do, no one should hurt the peace, I want your Heavenly Thunder Cannon, I will give you whatever you want, even if it is a defective or half-finished product.
You can’t be the only one who has this kind of thing, or else we won’t be able to play.
The only thing that scares me is that the Great Wei is not refusing to make things happen and is willing to make peace, but peace talks take time, right?
A casual delay, half a year or even two or three years have pa*sed.
Now that the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron is about to metamorphose into the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron, who knows what kind of power the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron will have?
So, openly promise, secretly develop frantically, and when the development is mature, the three dynasties will kill each other.
Wei already has a certain advantage now, so if it takes another year or two to develop, will the Sudden Evil Dynasty still be able to hold out?
Not at all.
The Prime Minister made clear the pros and cons of this.
“No peace talks, what does it say?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor asked, his face very calm.
“In reply to Your Majesty, if we do not make peace, I, Sudden Evil, will have to be prepared for an all-out war.”
“And since it is to be an all-out war, it must be fought ruthlessly.”
“Fight until Great Wei is afraid, fight until Great Wei compromises, in that case, we can both restrict Great Wei’s Dragon Cauldron metamorphosis and force Great Wei to share the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“But if we choose this path, if we win, everything is fine, even if it’s a slight stalemate, the two dynasties are actually victorious.”
“After all, it has delayed the metamorphosis of the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.”
“But if we lose, or if there is too much of a stalemate, we will be in trouble, and with this and the other, Great Wei is not weaker than the two dynasties.”
“In my opinion, the main key point at the moment actually lies in the One Piece and the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
Once again, Chancellor Tuo Xie explained seriously.
“How so?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor asked.
“In the war between the three great dynasties, if the First Grade is not added, everything is fine, if the First Grade participates in the war, there is some trouble, the six First Grade experts of the Immortal Sect, although they do not participate in the dynastic war, but what if? There is also the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, and I am only guessing that there is only one in Great Wei.”
“But if Great Wei really has two, or even more than two, it would be a disaster for me, the Sudden Evil.”
So said the Chancellor of the Sudden Evil.
Breaking with Great Wei, uniting with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty to exert pressure and start an all-out war.
This worked well, not giving Great Wei time to delay, either taking out the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon and sharing it together, drilling it together, but also giving Great Wei some benefits.
Think of it as buying the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
But with this approach, it is afraid that Great Wei will be reckless.
Therefore, both the former and the latter are under great pressure. If they succeed, all will be happy, but if they fail, it may indirectly speed up the unification of the Central Continent by the Great Wei.
One is a little more conservative, the other a little more radical.
It depended on what the Sudden Evil Emperor chose.
For a moment, the Emperor was somewhat silent, this issue did make people hesitate.
“What do you all think?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor asked as he looked around the hundred officials in the hall.
Only, the hundred officials were slightly silent, even the Prime Minister did not dare to answer directly, so how could they dare to talk too much about such matters.
“Your Majesty, I respectfully follow Your Majesty’s wishes.”
In the end, the civil and military officials were unified in their meaning, and at this point in time, the only one who could choose was the Emperor of Sudden Evil.
Looking at the responses of the hundred officials.
The Emperor of Sudden Evil took a deep breath, and then spoke in a deep tone.
“In that case, let’s use both soft and hard methods.”
“Send someone to Great Wei, see if we can make peace, don’t provoke Great Wei first, Great Wei has also gained a lot of benefits from this trip, if they are willing to trade and share the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, everything is good for negotiation.”
“But the time limit is one month, if within a month, Great Wei does not give a clear answer, the Sudden Evil Dynasty declares war on Great Wei.”
“The matter of peace talks will be left to the Minister of Rites, and I would also like to ask the Prime Minister to go to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty to see what the attitude of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty is, just to think that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty should be more urgent.”
“What do you think, dear ministers?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor spoke out.
His proposal was simple, soft and hard, if Great Wei was willing to share it, everyone would be fine with it openly, it didn’t matter if they gave up some profit, after all, the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon was too important.
It is a war killing weapon.
It was the equivalent of a mobile First Grade martial artist.
By mastering this item, the Sudden Evil Dynasty would have the qualifications to defend and attack, and at the very least the three kingdoms could develop peacefully.
If he could not master it, he would only be dying a chronic death.
As the emperor of the Sudden Evil, how could he not know this?
He knew that there was no way that the Great Wei would hand it over.
But what he knew even more was that Wei did not want an all-out war now either.
Fighting the barbarians was fine.
Declaring war on the Sudden Evil and the Primordial Yuan, which is a chaotic war in the world, could not be the same as fighting the barbarians at a fraction of the cost.
A full-scale war, which might require the mobilisation of tens of millions of generals, or even tens of thousands of generals, could not be resolved by one or two Heavenly Thunder Cannons.
Hearing the words of the Sudden Evil Emperor, the ministers bowed towards the Sudden Evil Emperor.
“Your Majesty is wise.”
A united reply rang out.
This choice was, indeed, quite good, to go to war directly, it was easy to be too stiff, not to go to war, it was easy to be dragged, it was better to ask probingly, and then fight if it didn’t work, at least there was a bit of roundabout ground.
And so it was, the sudden evil dynasty stabilised.
The previous voices, faded away.
The barbarian kingdoms surrendered and they stayed out of it, treating it as a gift to Great Wei.
And in contrast to the stability of the Tusi Dynasty.
The Chu Yuan Dynasty was more or less unsettled.
It was mainly the Minister of Works, who kept screaming in the Great Hall that Xu Qingnian could never have two first-rate Heavenly Thunder Cannons.
He cited numerous examples that would confirm that Great Wei did not have that many First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannons.
But after all was said and done, the topic eventually came down to ‘what to do next’.
Unlike the Sudden Evil Dynasty’s decisiveness, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty was more hesitant, as they understood the power of the First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
That was why they were hesitant.
If Wei had two First Grade Heavenly Lightning Cannons, basically, even if the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Wei.
If there were one, it would be a bit of a struggle.
Therefore, the Primordial Dynasty as a whole was rather hesitant.
In the end, they deliberated for several hours.
The conclusion was the same.
We had to see what the attitude of the Tusi Dynasty was, and at the same time contact not only the Tusi Dynasty, but also all the major powers in the world.
Wei has such a powerful weapon.
If we let Great Wei continue to develop like this, the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the First Yuan Dynasty will be the first to be pushed out of the way.
Once Wei has unified the Central Continent, everyone will know what to do next.
Everyone understands what they will do next.
The Primordial Yuan Dynasty is a bit more far-reaching, they want to make alliances, more allies, and not just in the Central Continent.
Now, it was the whole world.
Only.
No matter how the two dynasties were negotiating.
As the Barbarian Kingdom’s national fortune continued to be added to the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.
After two hours of coalescence.
Suddenly.
In the capital of Great Wei.
With an earth-shattering sound of a dragon’s roar resounding.
It broke through everything.
And then, like a cocoon breaking, a true dragon was birthed from the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.
It was golden.
A five-clawed golden dragon emerged and blossomed with tens of thousands of rays, spilling countless rays of light into the rivers and mountains of Great Wei.
Mountain springs, grain fields, land, everything, everything within the territory of Great Wei, everything was nourished by this golden light.
A golden dragon censer.
It also came out in the same way.
“It is the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent.”
“Heaven bless my Great Wei, heaven bless my Great Wei.”
“It really is the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent.”
“Is this the legendary Dragon Tripod of the Middle Continent?”
For a moment, the whole of Great Wei was abuzz with excitement.
And far away in the middle of the Barbarian Kingdom.
Xu Qingnian also quietly watched all this.
A beam of golden light entered his body.
He could feel it.
The Three Demon Seals within his body had indeed been suppressed.
