Chapter 553 Universal Nation (Finale)

Above the Holy Empire, Xiao frowned. Since he fought with the Dragon Mother, the Abyss Gate behind him has been severely deformed, and every hour, a part of it will be broken.

The broken Abyss Gate formed a halo, round and thin, surrounding him.

Xiao checked the Abyss Gate behind him, but he couldn't find the reason why it happened. He could only attribute it to the battle with the two witch kings, which caused him to have some sequelae, or the witch king secretly cast a spell on him to reduce his power.

This is all possible.

For thousands of years, he can calculate others, and others can calculate him.

He hides behind the scenes and is not easy to be tricked, but it is hard to guard against. This is a small trouble for the immortals. In the endless years, you may always come into contact with something, and once you come into contact, magic can follow. This is also the fun of magic.

Xiao is not a person who likes magic, but he also knows a little about it.

Xiao no longer pondered why the Yuanmen was a little broken. After he regained the throne and strengthened his power again, any problem would be suppressed by absolute power. At this moment, he looked at the ground with a burning heart.

That was his empire.

It was very different from the ancient civilization, but the times were progressing, and he wanted to make this empire reborn from the ashes again.

Xiao took a step forward. "The gods can't do anything to me. The witch king's dark spell is like a passing cloud. I usurped the supreme power of hell. Hell will not intervene. I am the king of hell."

"I have also arranged plans for the powerful hidden in the Black Magic Forest to make them fall into trouble one by one and unable to deal with me."

"The nations have wasted their national strength before, and because of the discovery of the New World, they put most of their strength there."

"For thousands of years, I have been waiting for this time, and this time has finally appeared."

"I may only have more than ten years to do whatever I want, but this is enough."

Xiao took a step forward, and the abyss behind him broke out a small hole again, which made Xiao frown. He used the abyss again to summon the past warriors from history, and let the warriors attack the city and capture the land, to destroy the scattered laws on the land, to destroy the earldoms, viscountries, and even duchies.

Xiao knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, so he just stood in the void and watched his army expand the territory within the territory of the Holy Empire.

A few months passed, and Xiao looked at the cracked abyss behind him and frowned. "The witch king's spell is really troublesome."

"It has been disintegrating my power. Unfortunately, they still underestimated the national law. My law is circulated in different countries in various universes. As the father of enlightenment, my power is constantly regenerated. This trick is useless."

"It's just a facade. My decline is just the appearance. It happens that I can use this to lure out the enemies who may still be lurking in the dark."

These days, Xiao is still challenged by many strong people living in the magic black forest. Some are powerful thousand-year-old immortal witches who take alternative paths, and some are powerful knight dukes who have pulled out famous swords such as the Excalibur.

There is even a former knight king who came to challenge him and asked him to abide by the unspoken rule of the separation of gods and humans and get out of the black magic forest.

But Xiao defeated them all.

Xiao disappeared in the sky and landed on the ground, accepting the map presented by the former God Blood Warriors. From the map, half of the territory of the Holy Empire has been controlled by Xiao's army. Foreign countries have tried to stop this trend, but have been repelled several times.

Moreover, national laws have disintegrated universal values, and those countries can no longer unite.

The Papal States have been besieged by Xiao's army.

The pagan empire has also been torn apart.

"In this case, I think the princes' resistance consciousness will also be gone." Xiao scanned the map, "Order them to convene the Imperial Parliament."

"Immediately, hold it today."

"In the evening. I want to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and I can also commemorate my victory over the Dark Queen."

The general of the God Blood Warrior immediately knelt on one knee, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Before the start of the Imperial Conference, Xiao opened the Abyss Gate alone and went to the three kingdoms with the strongest resistance will in the Holy Empire, the Kingdom of Potsdam, the Kingdom of Saxony, and the Kingdom of Bosilia. Then he will go to the Kingdom of Alsace.

Because Arthas was in the north, and his army started from the weakest part of the Holy Empire, in the south, so until now, Xiao has not controlled these four kingdoms.

At the same time, the three kingdom-level bishoprics are also a problem.

Xiao first went to the Kingdom of Bosilia. He was not polite and went directly to Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bosilia, and came to the sky above Prague Castle. This is the base camp of the city of learning. There are academies and books everywhere, and scholars are debating next to the fountain.

When Xiao's Yuanmen pressed on this kingdom, squeezed the laws of this kingdom, and interfered with the politics of this kingdom, the scholars of the city of learning protested against him seriously, and the army of the entire capital took action and began to prepare for a counterattack.

Xiao summoned the God Blood Warrior Corps again from the past, and frowned: "It turns out that you are planning to resist stubbornly. After this period of defeat, you have not given up resisting me. Why do you want to resist stubbornly? It's ridiculous to fight against your emperor for the interests of individual feudal lords."

He threw the infinite Yuanmen behind him directly to Prague Castle, and the laws that ruled this land suddenly caused serious friction between the two sides.

Just like the gravitational forces of two planets colliding with each other, the stronger side will tear apart the weaker side, but after all, it is a kingdom-level law, and even Xiao needs a long time to destroy the law here.

Xiao was anxious. For the sake of the parliament held tonight, he began to wreak havoc. He fished for the power behind the Yuanmen, and even did not hesitate to damage his own source of power. He had to speed up the suppression of the laws of this kingdom, and then use the God Blood Warrior Corps to capture the capital, so as to let this kingdom fall into war first.

At the same time, Xiao went to the next target, where he could continue to suppress with the Corps and the Yuanmen. Anyway, the Yuanmen was extremely vast, and suppressing one law was suppression, and suppressing several laws was also suppression.

‘Although it is a bit risky, there is no one in the Black Magic Forest that can threaten me. ’ Xiao went to the second stop, the Kingdom of Saxony. He first stated his intention, hoping that the Big Head Queen could submit to him, dissolve the Kingdom Parliament and the court, and then dethrone and be demoted to a duke.

Of course, the Big Head Queen did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately threw a bottle of Heart Erosion Magic Potion at Xiao, hoping that Xiao would be corroded into bones by the magic potion.

Xiao did not hesitate and immediately attacked her and her kingdom.

Xiao: "It's ridiculous. The Witch King was defeated by me. Am I still afraid of you?!"

He then went to the next stop.

The Kingdom of Potsdam.

When he arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Potsdam, the witch queen who ruled Potsdam did not waste time and attacked Xiao with magic aura. The two sides clashed fiercely again.

Then, Xiao went to the next stop, the Bishopric of Mainz.

As Xiao went to a place, he used the Yuanmen to summon the legion in the past, and then used his Yuanmen to suppress the local laws and start a war against the capitals of various countries.

He went to seven places in a row and actually dealt with seven kingdom-level countries at the same time by himself.

Then, Xiao went to the sky above the Kingdom of Alsace. Xiao did not say a word and took action directly. Anyway, this was Ivita's direct force and it was impossible to surrender to him.

Xiao wanted to achieve the feat of suppressing eight kingdom-level forces at the same time!

"The Frankish Kingdom can also be conquered by the way." Xiao thought: "I left a lot of tricks there, just in time to merge this country into the Holy Empire... Hmm?"

Xiao glanced at the Abyss Gate behind him, his eyes became solemn.

Because the Abyss Gate behind him was already covered with deep cracks at this moment, Xiao just took a small step forward, and a large piece of debris fell off, and the entire Abyss Gate began to lose its original shape.

It couldn't even maintain its planetary shape, but turned into a pile of rubble rotating around a certain center, which was like the shape of the universe.

Xiao was extremely puzzled: "Why does my Abyss Gate break faster every time I suppress a kingdom in the Holy Empire. I am obviously the father of enlightenment and have unlimited power, why does my Abyss Gate begin to fail to maintain. The eight kingdom-level laws are just the fragmentation of universal laws. Even if I face universal laws, I am not afraid at all, so why is this so?"

"What is that?"

Xiao noticed that there are many schools in the Kingdom of Alsace and many countries close to the Kingdom of Alsace.

Xiao felt uneasy and teleported to a school. After entering the school, he saw adults in robes teaching students some knowledge, but what they taught was not the common religious classics, but something else.

A teacher was patiently explaining to a young child. "What this sentence means is that a person should respect his elders, because only those who respect their elders will love others and the society will be safe."

"Why should we respect them? If we just give our elders some food and daily necessities, is that enough? We also give food and shelter to pets, so we should respect our elders, whether they are alive or dead."

"What that sentence means is that if you don't want to do something, don't ask others to do it. So, we humans are all kind and benevolent. If an intelligent creature is kind and benevolent, then he is a human being, no matter what his origin is. And as long as he is a human being, he is a citizen of our empire."

The children at the desks were confused. "Then are people from different countries, teachers, also people from the same country as us?"

The man laughed. "Yes. As long as they learn our culture and act according to our culture, we are brothers. Will you be alienated from your brothers just because they are from different countries? So the country and the nation can't stop us."

The children laughed.

"Then we are a family, and there is no difference between countries and nations."

The teacher smiled. "That's right. But if an intelligent creature does not learn our culture, then even if he is from the same country as us, he is completely different from us. He is even less worthy of being a human being."

Xiao couldn't listen any more and scolded him hurriedly: "Nonsense. If a pig, a dog-headed man, and a mermaid also learn your so-called culture, can they also be called human beings? The appearance is so different, how can you deceive yourself?"

The teacher looked up, as if he had just seen Xiao at this time, and whispered: "Old friend, it turns out that you are here, hello."

"Even if it is a pig or a dog, as long as he can learn our culture and act according to our way, he is a human being."

"Old friend, you are too narrow-minded. Didn't you realize that if there is an intelligent creature that can really understand us, then his living habits are close to us, and he is compatible with us? Have you not noticed that ordinary people World law has the advantage of universal values, but lacks cohesion, while nationalism, although strong in cohesion, can only be limited to one time and one place. Then I combined the two to form universal nationalism."

"Speaking of which, this is my first time talking to you, but you and I are like old friends we haven't seen for many years."

Xiao's eyes widened. "Ivetta? Haven't you entered a special state and are not in this world?"

Xiao soon calmed down, looked up and down at the middle-aged man in front of him, and suddenly sneered. "I see, your body is still not in this universe, not in the Great Void Realm, but you used illusions to enter this man's mind and specifically waited for me here."

"Ivetta, you are really good at talking nonsense."

"You are here because you want to stop me. It's too late. I have crippled most of the countries in the Holy Empire. I have suppressed eight kingdoms. My men can even survive within two days. Capture the Frankish Kingdom."

"The Papal Kingdom has reached a desperate situation. It would be too late for you to send an illusion clone to intervene at this time. Even if your true body comes, it will be of no use."

Xiao said: "In that case, I will capture you and bring you to the Imperial Parliament. Tonight, I can force you to abdicate."

Ivita shook her head. "I'm not here to stop you. Whatever you want to do, just do it."

Xiao looked at Ivita suspiciously.

Ivita tells the children to get out of here. "Actually, not long after I entered the state of complete meditation, I reached the point where I could use illusions to come to this world. It may take hundreds or even thousands of years for me to enter this state. I was a little worried at first. , But then I didn’t worry anymore. Xiao, everything you did was to make a wedding dress for me.”

"What!" Xiao sneered. "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?"

Ivita replied: "You should have noticed it. As you suppress the countries in the Holy Empire, your power continues to decline."

"Today you performed a heroic feat and suppressed eight major countries in one day. As a result, your power declined to the extreme."

"You've reached your limit, Xiao."

Xiao sneered. "I thought you were going to say something, but you only know one of them, not more. I am the father of enlightenment, and my weakness is just a facade I use to deceive the enemies hiding in the dark. You actually believe it, Hahaha, it seems you are nothing more than that. I have unlimited...power..."

When Xiao wanted to mobilize the power of national laws in other universes in the Great Void Realm, he was shocked to find that he was like a mortal who had been hungry for several days, but in fact he had already lost his strength.

‘Click~’

The abyss gate behind him was shattered again, and even the national law and the abyss of human existence began to separate.

Xiao's expression was extremely solemn. He looked at Ivita and said, "What did you do to me?"

Ivita shook her head and sighed. "It is precisely because I have done nothing that you are like this. You are hostile to the princes in the Holy Empire. In essence, you are strengthening the imperial power. You spent more than half a year to eliminate these privileged classes, but you forget that I am the emperor. I am the emperor." It is the people who benefit the most from it. The privileged class is depleted by the war, and then our country can be unified. War is indeed the biggest way to deplete the privileged class.”

"All your previous actions only allowed you to get some petty profits, but you never thought that the person who benefited the most was me."

Xiao Bing had a face.

Ivita continued: "And you spent thousands of years planning and triggering changes in national ideological trends. I borrowed your layout to turn national ideas into universal national ideas."

"Whether you believe it or not, I have indeed seen a place where, although the people there claim to be a certain ethnic group, they do not refuse others to join this ethnic group, but instead open the door to others."

“The limitations of the nation, the fragility of the universal, are thus overcome.”

"Xiao, what I didn't expect was that all your actions would ultimately make me successful. Before I realized you, I had already started building books, building schools, recruiting talents, and starting to change the people of my country and serve them in their hearts. Establish a universal nationalism. You said nationalism is the only correct way, but you are at war with the Queen of Darkness, why do your national laws fail to keep up and have flaws? "

Xiao stared at Ivita, his eyes filled with coldness, and he said stubbornly: "I don't believe it."

"This is impossible."

"Ivetta, I'm going to kill your head."

The next moment, the Yuanmen behind Xiao rose again and smashed towards Ivita.

Xiao was furious. "Speaking of a thousand words, you now are just an illusion in this universe. You don't even exist!"

The middle-aged man incarnated by Ivita was obliterated by the Yuanmen.

The expression on Xiao's face relaxed slightly. "Iveta, this brat, is just a child. What am I serious about doing with him? How much of what he says is true?"

"Yes, there is still a chance to save it now."

The next moment, Ivita's voice sounded in his ears. "Yeah?"

The expression on Xiao's face froze. He slowly turned his head and saw Ivita standing at the door of the house. At this time, Ivita showed her true form. "How is it possible? Although it is just an illusion, it is impossible for things killed by Yuanmen to be resurrected. Your illusion can no longer be projected into this universe. Yuanmen can kill any phenomenon and prevent it from being resurrected again. !”

Xiao sighed and raised his fist. "That's all. I'll do it myself."

Xiao once loved watching gladiatorial fights, so he was also good at hand-to-hand combat. With a random punch, he had already locked in all of Ivita's evasion directions and possible counterattacks, but Ivita didn't move at all, allowing him to shatter her illusion.

The next moment, a new Ivita appeared outside the window. "Xiao, old friend, I know your vocation. Your vocation is violence, and you are the god of violence."

"Xiao, your power is not pure. You have the so-called source power of the Sea of ​​Chaos. The Sea of ​​Chaos once invaded this world, so it left behind the so-called Warlock profession. The Witch Kings came into contact with me, and then I understood what happened."

There was no expression on Xiao's face, and he smashed the window and Ivita outside the window with one fist, but soon Ivita appeared beside him again.

Xiao finally became serious as he watched Ivita's vision reappear. "The fact that you can detect that shows one thing. You have risen to a level similar to mine in a short period of time."

Ivita did not refute. The power of the Six Gods was continuously poured into herself, and her own magic network resonated with the universe of the Black Magic Forest. It developed towards the many universes in the Great Void Realm and became stronger and stronger. This led to the fact that at this moment, she was even equivalent to a full moon. The Queen infuses magical power into the Dark Queen's state.

Moreover, it is more harmonious in strength.

But that's not the point.

Ivita said to Xiao: "I came to see you just to tell you, Xiao, you lost. Nation-states are stuck in their ways and can easily create divisions. If you allow the Holy Empire to transform into a nation-state, it will tear the Holy Empire apart. It turned into dozens of small countries and the emperor’s crown lost its original glory.”

Xiao frowned. He thought carefully, sometimes raising his eyebrows, sometimes frowning more, and then he said: "I have expected this. As long as I become the emperor, the country will not be divided."

Ivita shook her head. "Then you will only be attacked by a group of people."

"You have provoked too many enemies. You yourself know that even if all your plans succeed, which is unlikely, you will only have a few years to do whatever you want. When the enemies you provoke react, your country will only will be shattered. In the final analysis, the nation-state has excluded its allies and friends, denied potential resources due to national issues, is full of internal divisions, and provokes troubles externally. It is completely inferior to the universal nation I established. "

Xiao heard the words and immediately wanted to attack Ivita again, but he was shocked to realize that his power was constantly passing away, the abyss gate behind him could no longer be maintained, and the abyss of human existence was constantly separated from him, escaping from his control.

Iveta said to Xiao: "Actually, it's not that my intelligence is much better than yours, it's just that I stand on the shoulders of giants and can see further than you. Your idea was wrong from the beginning, or it's not as good as mine. , then I don’t have to put in much effort at all, I just need to wait for you to destroy yourself.”

"Xiao, of course your power will decline. At this moment, my universal national thoughts will be guided to countless universes along with the changes you initiated. Eventually, the civilizations in each universe will undergo corresponding changes."

"And you don't have to bother attacking me. You are the one who attracted my illusions. You are the one who keeps provoking my illusions."

Ivita appeared next to Xiao. "This matter cannot be solved by force, so I will not fight with you."

"It's just that I advise you to give up. Your Yuanmen has already broken itself. If you continue to fight, you will only gain for me..."

Xiao shook his head violently and looked into the distance fiercely. "No, absolutely impossible. Since you are an illusion without power, I simply don't care about you. As long as I subdue those kingdoms, I can still regain the throne at the imperial meeting."

Xiao Fei flew into the air and left alone, as crazy as a demon.

Ivita watched him leave and shook her head. Xiao was defeated. Xiao's next thought would only benefit himself, and after losing Yuanmen, his combat power may not be much stronger than a powerful god.

But he had to face eight kingdom-level forces alone, and even more potential enemies.

Ivita shook her head and simply stopped talking to Xiao. Instead, she used illusion magic to transform into an ordinary middle-aged man and walked into the next school.

Education is the foundation for shaping the cultural cohesion of a nation.

…

The melee lasted for a full ten years, and finally ended with Xiao Huo burning down his palace. The armies he summoned from history were all sealed, and could never be summoned from history again.

Although the emperor of the Holy Empire rarely appeared in front of everyone, he used war to eliminate a large number of privileged classes and began to centralize the country, transforming the Holy Empire into a normal centralized country.

At the same time, education was promoted in the Holy Empire, universities were built, compulsory education was provided, and a universal nation was built. More and more small countries began to take the initiative to join the Holy Empire. There were also some kingdoms that wanted to remain independent, but took the initiative to sign agreements with the Holy Empire. Various treaties have made it a de facto semi-vassal state.

Thirty-six years after the war, the Holy Empire was thriving. Because the Magical Black Forest was relatively unified, there had been no war for a long time.

Next to the lake in the capital of the empire, the city of Alsace, Ivita's vision was fishing in the lake. Suddenly, a tall figure with a serious face appeared behind Ivita. "I thought about it carefully and I think you are right."

“A universal nation is indeed much better than universalism and national thinking.”

"So I extended the war for ten more years to clear the way for you. Today's development is just as I wanted, but the material of the Chaos Sea continues to float over. The Holy Empire has been transformed, although it can withstand more than before. It’s chaos and disorder, but if this continues, sooner or later the tragedy of the past will happen again. What are you going to do?”

Ivita did not look back and continued fishing. He said softly: "That's a big problem. We can find a solution together."

"I have an immature idea. I discovered before that the energy generated when a person makes a good wish can purify the energy material transferred from the Chaos Sea. This is also the reason why the flower fairies fulfill people's wishes again and again. I think maybe We can make the Magical Black Forest, the source of magic, a truly ideal world. We may be able to create a wishing machine that will allow everyone who takes action and works hard to get the rewards they deserve."

"Let everyone who works hard get the happiness they want."

"Of course, this is a big project."

"By the way, we can ask the Hearthstone Witch to help us think of a solution. I heard that she is still cheating and abducting recently. I didn't expect that even after she regained her kindness, she would still be the same as before she met me. It's just that she finally recovered. No more dead people.”
