Volume 9: Fighting alone with Heaven and asserting oneself for eternity Chapter 2736: The fate of the empire (2)

Chengtian Empire!

When the news of the Royal Alliance's disastrous defeat came, there was an uproar in the imperial city. An almost foreseeable victory ended in a disastrous defeat in just a few days!

They could not imagine what uncontrollable accident happened on the battlefield, which caused all the Huangwu Xianwu of that size to die tragically.

Sikong Yuandao forced himself to wait and wait calmly, hoping that a miracle would happen, hoping that the Ancestor and the others would retreat to the mainland immediately when the opportunity came up. As long as the Ancestor was still there, the empire would still be strong, and they would still be able to negotiate with Qin Ming. possible. However, what he waited full of hope for finally came was the news that his ancestor was missing, along with the bad news that he was most likely to be killed by the Xingtian War God.

The royal family tried its best to block the news, but in just half a day, the news that the ancestor and all the Huangwu were killed had spread throughout the imperial city, and even broke out of the towering city wall to the empire.

The entire imperial city immediately fell into turmoil and chaos, and the situation was out of control for a time. There was even a large-scale escape that day, forcing the royal family to order the city gates to be sealed, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting, and even opening a defensive formation to seal off the space. But the situation in the imperial city was barely under control, but the empire's territory outside the imperial city gradually fell into chaos as the news spread. Fear was like a dark cloud shrouding every town, forest, and permeating every sect and secret place. , not only ordinary people were panicked, but even the city lords, sects, and aristocratic families everywhere fell into an unprecedented panic.

Everyone understands that this is not just a national crisis caused by the wrong decisions of the royal family, but a real life-and-death disaster, a drastic change that far exceeds a normal national war. Once the Great Chaos Realm stabilizes the ancient sea and destroys the Royal Alliance, it will definitely want to dominate the world and will definitely seek revenge on the Chengtian Empire. With Qin Ming's temperament and the behavior of the people around him, they may even dare to carry out cruel massacres, especially for certain families and large sects who are now enjoying the glory and controlling the foundation of the empire. It is said that killing will really happen. Kill them all without mercy. Moreover, this time is completely different from the past. No one in the world will dare to take them in, and they have no place to escape. They can only stay here, waiting to be ravaged and beheaded. This unprecedented fear and despair enveloped the empire's top brass. Those ancestor-level figures who usually just secluded themselves in seclusion, or the core figures who were strong and conceited, began to prepare nervously, meet frequently, and discuss countermeasures.

But facing the current situation, what countermeasures can be taken? It's nothing more than...suicide! surrender!

Sikong Yuandao could imagine the panic and uneasiness in the imperial city and even the entire empire. He could also imagine what the ancestors of the forces who made up the top of the empire were doing. He was unwilling to accept the reality, but he had to accept that the fate of the empire was no longer in his hands, and he no longer even had the chance or ability to save it. Some families may even secretly unite to overthrow their royal family and surrender to the Great Chaos Realm.

It's not that the aristocratic families in the empire are cowardly, but that the situation has collapsed to the point of being beyond their control. After all, the world is now almost in the hands of Qin Ming. Although he has not shown up yet or expressed his position, no one denies this. With a huge group of powerful people, they can completely sweep any area, and they can All the forces that competed with it have been destroyed in the Great Chaos Realm.

If he were in Qin Ming's position and achieved such achievements, he would still wield his arms to conquer, enjoy the passion of killing people and controlling the world.

"Is there no news from the Great Chaos Realm yet?" Sikong Yuandao stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the luxurious palaces outside. His splendid robes could not hide his loneliness, and his voice that was full of energy in the past also became Low and tired.

An elder of the royal family slowly shook his head: "We have sent more than a thousand tribesmen into the ancient sea, and one will return every half an hour to ensure that the news can be transmitted back to the imperial city as soon as possible. But the Great Chaos Realm has been peaceful since the war. , neither appointed anyone to say anything, nor attacked the Royal Alliance. Maybe they were injured too much and were recuperating, or maybe they were discussing how to deal with us, our mortal enemies. However, they can't stay so quiet forever. It may start to show its fangs in a few days.”

"Didn't the Royal Alliance escape?"

"They had better not escape, otherwise the seemingly peaceful Great Chaos Realm will definitely carry out brutal suppression immediately. Those forces in Guhai who want to please the Great Chaos Realm will hunt them down all over the world. By then, the Royal Alliance will not even be able to negotiate The chances are gone.”

"Negotiation? Do they still expect Qin Ming's forgiveness?"

"This... there are no Huangwu in the Royal Alliance, and there are not many high-level Tianwu left. Facing the Great Chaos Realm, they don't even have the strength to fight back. If they choose to escape, they will become a lost dog and be hunted by the whole world. So...the royal alliance basically has two options, either to commit collective suicide to defend its last dignity, or to surrender. If there are hundreds or thousands of people, the possibility of collective suicide is very high, but there are royal families there. There are thirty affiliated groups and hundreds of millions of lives involved. The possibility of suicide is very small. Even if there is a suicide, it is only a part of it. The rest will eventually surrender to the Great Chaos Realm. There has been no action, and one possibility seems to be waiting for the royal alliance to surrender, which will better demonstrate their victory. "

This elder Zong is Sikong Yuandao's uncle. He has a very high status and his strength is at the peak of Tianwu. However, he is very careful about what he says at this moment, for fear of irritating Sikong Yuandao. The situation that the Royal Alliance is facing now is not the situation of their mainland empire. Although they have only participated in this once, whether they want revenge or unify the world, the Great Chaos Realm will not spare this place, especially their royal family! Therefore, their current choices are nothing more than to commit suicide or surrender.

No matter how reluctant you are to accept it psychologically, the facts are already in front of you.

Sikong Yuandao didn't understand this, but it was really difficult for him to accept it. From his birth to the present, he has been shaping his own legend in glory. He is praised by the empire and feared by powerful countries. He is the most dazzling star in the contemporary era of the mainland. Unsurprisingly, he will become the most powerful monarch in the history of the Chengtian Empire. One of them, was written into history, and the successive drastic changes in the world seemed more like creating opportunities for him to lead the Chengtian Empire to grow into the largest in the continent. But... everything became meaningless because of this battle in the Chaos Realm. Both he and the Chengtian Empire seemed to be suddenly pinched tightly by an invisible big hand. Life and death It's all in someone else's thoughts.

This loss, this powerlessness, this pain and despair made Sikong Yuandao exhausted.

Elder Zong didn't want to force Sikong Yuandao anymore, so he said: "Many sects of the aristocratic families in the imperial city have begun to contact each other secretly. Do you need me to control them?"

"That's not necessary anymore." Sikong Yuandao shook his head slowly.

"They should have just started contacting each other now, and they haven't fully reached a deeper level yet. After all, our royal family has controlled the Chengtian Empire for tens of thousands of years, and orthodox ideas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They dare not...well...rebellion, not to mention that the Great Chaos Realm still has Without clearly expressing their attitude, they dare not say anything casually. I think we can control them appropriately at this time, or give them a little warning.”

"It's unnecessary. If the Great Chaos Realm wants us to perish, no matter how we warn them, they will join forces to overthrow us. As long as the Great Chaos Realm wants us to continue to rule the empire, even if they have any ideas, they will continue to kneel before us and surrender. Haha... Is it ridiculous? The Great Chaos Realm hasn't spoken yet. The fate of our royal family and the fate of the empire are already firmly in their hands. Qin Ming, Qin Ming... What a victory that shakes the past and the present. "I'm a little jealous." Sikong Yuandao shook his head bitterly, why is it him? why it's not me! Why……
