1176: Chapter 381 Once Seen in the Annals of History, Eternally Unchanging (Monthly Ticket 14,000) 1176: Chapter 381 Once Seen in the Annals of History, Eternally Unchanging (Monthly Ticket 14,000) This round of the Inner Court Selection tournament has concluded.The first seven to secure spots in the main competition are Lin Zhengren of Zhuang Country, Ye Luzhi of Liao Country, Yin Wenhua of Song Country, Xiao Shu of Dan Country, Beigong Ke of Yong Country, Huang Su of Liang Country, and Xie Ai of Snow Country.

This list is quite intriguing.

To begin with, the prodigies from the Inner Mansion Realm of both Zhuang Country and Yong Country have concurrently advanced into the main event of the Yellow River Gathering.

Lin Zhengren, while not well known from historical records, rose prominently after Zhu Weiwo left.

And this Beigong Ke, is the direct grandson of Beigong Jade, the Duke of the State of Yong Country.

Initially, during the talks held in Irredeemable City among the younger generation of geniuses between Zhuang, Luo, and Zhuang Countries, Zhuang Country’s prodigy Zhu Weiwo fought against two adversaries alone and triumphed overwhelmingly, dazzling all who were present.

However, people from Yong Country claimed that this was only because Beigong Ke, their own number one ranked peer who was reigning at that time, was not present as he was abroad on travel.

Yong Ting underestimated the situation and did not recall him but instead sent the second-ranked young talent.

This was the true reason for Yong Country’s loss of face at Irredeemable City.

Some also believe that it was precisely this diminished outcome from the meeting that later emboldened Zhuang Luo to join forces and dare to invade the borders.

Beigong Ke has a notable background, exceptional talent, and strength, boasting a splendid track record of achievements.

During the wartime between Zhuang and Yong Countries, he stood steadfast on the frontlines in Jing’an Prefecture under Qi Maoxian, the State Minister of Yong Country, resisting the Red Horse Guards.

There he stood unyielding on the city walls, battling for three days and nights without retreat, and after the battle, Qi Maoxian credited him with the first merit of Jing’an Prefecture.

Such a person is, naturally, the pride of Yong Country.

Now that the great war between Zhuang and Yong Countries has temporarily ceased, and with a history of grudges entwined for hundreds of years, it is no wonder that a great deal of attention is drawn to the unfolding events at the Yellow River Gathering.

With Zhuang Country’s newly emerged prodigy Lin Zhengren and Yong Country’s indisputable number one, Beigong Ke, contending side by side, the eyes of countless people are focused on them.

Whose path will lead them farther is of the greatest interest to many.

Next is Huang Su from Liang Country.

The relationship between Liang Country and Da Xia can be described as deeply rooted, with a rich history.

Geographically, Liang lies to the southeast of Da Xia.

The vastness of Da Xia’s territory is remarkable.

For instance, the ancestral lands of the Nan Yao Lian family from Qi Territory are now within the boundaries of present-day Da Xia.

Before the age of martial deities, Great Da Xia was at its zenith, once spanning the Eastern Region and the Southern Territory.

It contended for dominance with Qi Country in the Eastern Region, annexing countless nations in the Southern Territory.

Sadly, Liang Country was one such nation swallowed up by Da Xia.

Da Xia relocated the last emperor of Liang to their capital, but within less than three years, the last emperor of Liang died.

The cause of his death remains controversial and unresolved to this day.

Subsequently, during the war for supremacy between Qi and Xia, Da Xia suffered a severe defeat and completely withdrew from the Eastern Region.

Da Xia’s court suffered heavy casualties in the great war and needed to reallocate a large number of troops to guard the northeastern border to prevent Qi from advancing south and obliterating a nation, leaving them without the power to suppress turmoil elsewhere.

Liang’s Imperial Clan member Kang Shao raised his arms to call for followers in the market of Bian City, swearing an oath to restore his nation.

Instantly, thousands of Liang citizens joined him, collectively killing the stationed Da Xia soldiers and thus raising an army.

With loyal citizens driven by remembrance of their former country, in less than five days, signals of war blanketed the entire territory of Liang.

In just two months, Kang Shao had reclaimed the entire realm of Liang, reestablishing the Great Beam state rites.

In Bian City, he made sacrificial offerings to pacify ancestral spirits and ascended the throne as emperor, continuing the “Liang” dynasty name.

The enmity between Liang and Da Xia runs deep and is indelible.

A glimpse into the history of the relationship can be seen in the records of the last emperor of Liang in the annals of both nations—

The “Da Xia Record” says: …that year, the Marquis Xian was relocated to the capital… Three years later, he passed away from a serious illness.

(hong)

The “Liang Record,” on the other hand, records it this way: …that year, the Emperor Min was forcibly moved to Da Xia’s capital, not three years passed, and he was murdered with poison, perishing in a humble abode, wrapped only in a bamboo mat.

When the people of Liang heard this, they beat their chests and stomped their feet in immense grief and lamentation.

The unfortunate emperor of Liang was simply named “Nian,” his posthumous title “Min,” and was conferred the title “Marquis Xian” by the emperor of Da Xia when he surrendered.

The people of Da Xia claim that the last emperor of Liang, Kang Nian, died of a serious illness, whereas the people of Liang assert he was poisoned by the Xia.

Such is the depth of hatred between the two nations, and naturally, the citizens of both countries find it difficult to coexist, continuously in conflict.

And now, at today’s Yellow River Gathering, Huang Su, the prodigy of Liang Country’s Inner Mansion Realm, has already secured a spot in the main competition, while Da Xia’s Inner Mansion Realm prodigy Chumon met the formidable Lin Xian of Rong Country, exposing his trump cards too early.

Today, he encountered Xiao Shu from Dan Country and was fiercely targeted, losing the battle prematurely.

He now has to compete with other losers for the remaining three spots in the main competition.

A small victory for Liang Country, it can be said they have let out a sigh of relief.

Speaking of Xiao Shu, who defeated Chumon, is also worth mentioning.

Like Xuan and Qiao Countries, Dan Country also resides in the central area between the two Overlord Countries, Qin and Chu.

However, Dan Country is significantly stronger than Xuan and Qiao, being a regional power in its own right, and enjoys political independence, unaffected by any manipulation from either Qin or Chu.

To the south of Dan Country lies the Valley Plains; further north are Mo Country, Cheng Country, and Zhuang Country.

Its geopolitical environment is quite complicated.

Qin and Chu mobilized enormous military forces for a fierce battle on the Valley Plains.

This battle could be said to have been bone-breaking for both Overlord Countries, but what was even more tragic was the fate of the Valley Plains, which had been turned into their battlefield.

As a result of this war, all of the smaller nations on the Valley Plains were erased from existence.

The citizens of these nations either fled south or sought refuge in Qin and Chu.

Or some—those who refused to leave—were buried in the ruins.

The entire Valley Plains became a desolate wasteland.

The various nations of the Valley ceased to be.

In contrast to Dan Country’s position, Xuan Country and Qiao Country are situated to the south of the Valley Plains.

Dan Country faces Xuan and Qiao Countries across the expanse of the Valley Plains.

But the nations that once thrived between them no longer exist.
