Chapter 724: The Sky Is Clear and Dawn Is Coming!
The gods and Buddhas in heaven had never expected such a dramatic change in the world.
They watched the tragic scenes with great interest, finding them interesting and lamenting the impermanence of the world.
So, these gods began to place bets again, but gradually shifted their focus from the original Han people in the Central Plains to the newly emerging Hu people.
There was no way, the wise leaders among the Han people had already withered under the repeated bets of the gods, and none of them could survive for ten years after receiving the mandate of heaven.
The elite power of the Han people was almost exhausted by the gods, and the inventory was completely cleared.
It was precisely because of this that the Hu people had an opportunity to emerge and rise rapidly.
With the blessing of the mandate of heaven, the strength of the Hu leaders increased greatly, but at the same time, they seemed to be affected by the mandate of heaven, and their lifespans became extremely short.
Perhaps this is the price God gave them for power and glory!
Since the migration of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the south, the development trajectory of Han history has undergone major changes.
With the large-scale migration of people to the south, the economic structure originally dominated by the north was gradually broken, and the economic center began to shift to the south.
The influx of many laborers not only brought sufficient manpower to the south, but also spread the advanced production technology of the Central Plains to this place.
The court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actively promoted the policy of encouraging agriculture and sericulture, and vigorously encouraged agricultural production.
This measure has enabled the Jiangnan region to be developed unprecedentedly, the area of farmland has continued to expand, the water conservancy facilities have been gradually improved, the crop yield has increased significantly, and the economy has shown a steady growth trend.
At the same time, the shipbuilding industry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty flourished and became one of the important handicraft industries at that time.
Both the scale and technical level of shipbuilding have been significantly improved compared with the past, and the types of ships built are various, including merchant ships, warships, etc.
These advanced ships not only promoted trade exchanges, but also strengthened the maritime military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the north, the Hu people were rampant in the Central Plains. After the looting, they were somewhat at a loss, because after this looting, there was no place for them to loot.
So, they did not choose to leave, but stayed here to recuperate, and gradually formed the complex situation of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms.
They began to communicate and integrate with the Han people as rulers, and were eventually assimilated by the Han people's culture, thus opening a magnificent process of national integration.
After a century of fierce competition in the south, Liu Yu, a fisherman of humble origin, relied on his extraordinary wisdom and courage to finally stand out, seize the world, establish the Liu Song Dynasty, and open the prelude to the Southern Dynasty.
At this time in the north, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe among the Five Barbarians also successfully achieved unification, completing the gorgeous transformation from conqueror to ruler.
However, the north and the south did not stop the pace of competing for the position of the common master of the world, and the competition between them became more and more fierce, thus forming a situation of confrontation between the North and the South.
Since then, the Central Plains has experienced the succession of several dynasties, including the Southern Qi, Southern Liang, and Southern Chen.
Every change of power was accompanied by bloody storms, but the disputes in the Central Plains finally came to an end.
It was at this time that the one-year period was over, and the magical power that reversed yin and yang finally dissipated, and the magical power imprinted on the heavens slowly collapsed.
The chaotic heavenly secrets quickly returned to clarity, bringing a trace of peace and hope to this land devastated by war.
In that long and turbulent history, the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties were like a thrilling turbulent world, which ended after a full 365 springs, summers, autumns, and winters.
During this period of time, wars were raging, smoke was everywhere, and the death toll was as high as hundreds of millions!
However, this is only the number of people with household registration. The number of people who were hidden by the major clans and not counted is even more numerous.
At this moment, the endless darkness is about to disappear, and the dawn has penetrated the heavy fog and illuminated the earth.
All disputes and wars have come to an end, and the mysterious Tianji has been restored to normal operation, which also means that the shocking gambling game between the gods has officially ended.
Although some gods and Buddhas have not yet participated in it, under the clear revelation of Tianji, they can only give up in disappointment and are unable to continue the game.
After all, if you want to continue to wantonly disturb the Tianji of the whole world, unless you get the clear instructions of the great supernatural power, who dares to act rashly against the world's disapproval?
Such behavior is tantamount to seeking death.
As Tianji gradually recovered, all the spiritual chips used as bets were taken back by the existence named Xiao and returned to the hands of the gods one by one.
However, not all sentient beings in the world can remain sober and rational. There are always some gambling-addicted and almost crazy "gamblers" who still can't believe that this shocking chess game ended so hastily.
Just because the chips held by these "gamblers" are all huge wealth borrowed from others, if they fail to win the final victory, it means that they are simply unable to repay the debt.
And once they fail to repay the spiritual essence share, what awaits them will be the tragic fate of becoming someone else's cattle and horses and never turning over in their lives.
Faced with such a result, how can they accept it calmly?
Those gamblers who have lost so much that they are jealous and anxious actually tried to unite and launch a resistance action.
Obviously, these gamblers have lost their minds at this time and have completely forgotten where this place is.
You know, in the eyes of gods and Buddhas, the common people in the lower world are just delicious dishes on the table.
But even if they are lucky enough to become gods and Buddhas, if they fail to enter the upper class, then they are still like food on the plate, at the mercy of gods.
However, in the fierce game for a whole year, they had a few lucky victories from the hands of those with great supernatural powers, but they were so proud of it that they didn't know why.
Not only did they completely forget their original humble status, but they also ignored a crucial fact: the reason why the gods are called gods is not because they follow the rules, but because of their unparalleled strength!
Any gods who dare to cause trouble here will, without exception, become prisoners under the strong suppression of those people with amazing supernatural powers.
And the final fate waiting for these gods is to be ruthlessly thrown into the well of exile.
At that time, they will be cruelly deprived of all their spiritual essence, and their past memories will be erased, and they will be forced to endure the pain of reincarnation, and they will never be able to turn over.
However, apart from this group of gods who were furious and lost their minds because of losing money, other gods presented a completely different picture.
Some gods chose to stay out of it and not participate in this gambling game, just as if they had played for nothing; while some gods relied on their own strategies and luck to succeed and make a lot of money.
It can be said that every god has his own unique gains in this storm.
