However, the Yellow Emperor did not care about what the people of the Wasteland wanted the most and what they needed the most. At that time, there were thousands upon thousands of people in the Great Wastelands, and what they needed the most was not the unity of the Five Great Clans or the unity of the world. They needed to live in peace and work. However, such a life was destined to never be fated with them, because what they met was the Yellow Emperor. He had great ambitions, and he wanted to unite the great wasteland. As a result, just as the disaster of the water clan Zhu Jiuyin ended, before anyone in the Great Wasteland could even catch their breath, they resisted the Yellow Emperor's determination to unify the world.
If the Yellow Emperor wanted to rule the world by himself, then the nobles and tribes would definitely not agree. They would definitely not be willing to give up their territory, so they could only resist and fight.
After the Yellow Emperor subdued those tribes and the Four Clans, he shifted his gaze to the Nine Li Clan, which was Chi You's tribe. Chi You belonged to the outer sect. He was very powerful. Although he was not one of the Ten Gods of the Five Emperors, his strength was not any weaker than the White Emperor of the Black Monarch. More importantly, there were numerous experts in the Chi You Tribe. Each one of them was a bloodthirsty person, and none of them were greedy for life or feared for their lives. Therefore, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You was extremely difficult. It was unprecedented and even more difficult than fighting against the Five Great Clans.
As for why it was so difficult, the reason was actually very simple. For example, why the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, had always been going smoothly, and it hadn't even been a few years, yet the powerful Xiang Yu had been annihilated. Other than Xiang Yu's personality, there was another advantage, and that was that everyone was a Chu person. Xiang Yu was a Chu and Liu Bang was also a Chu, so the war between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang was just a war between two hegemons. It didn't belong to the war between the dead, so the civilians and soldiers were not very active.
After Xiang Yu was destroyed, Liu Bang actually attacked the Huns and returned defeated. Even if he wasn't tricked, he was besieged. Even if he won the war, it would be very difficult for him to win, because Liu Bang had overlooked a problem. The battle between him and Xiang Yu was just a struggle for the hegemony of the two Chu people, and the battle with the Huns was just a battle between the two races.
When the Yellow Emperor unified the various races, everyone was a member of the Wasteland. Although they were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, they didn't treat each other as an outsider, but as an opponent. The war with the Nine Li Clan and the battle with Chi You Tribe would be a race battle, so the Yellow Emperor didn't have a smooth start.
After a long and difficult battle, when the Yellow Emperor destroyed the Chi You Tribe, the whole wasteland was in a state of despair, grief, and despair. Undead souls were everywhere. The Divine Monarch felt guilty and guilty. He built nine cauldrons and hid them in the Nine Prefectures of the Central Plains, preventing the air of grievance from spreading.
On the other hand, the Yellow Emperor had unified the Wasteland. Even though the Yellow Emperor's heart was heavy and his aura was overbearing, he had after all unified the Wasteland and merged together with the tribes of that era that were in pieces. However, the Yellow Emperor did not expect that the rivers and mountains that he worked so hard to build, the mountains and rivers that were built on countless bones, would not be able to be maintained forever, and eventually crumble as well.
As he walked through this secret passage, Wang Xiao felt as if he was looking at the scenes from ten thousand years ago, as though he was looking at a Divine Monarch whose Ancient Times was respected. Although he and Divine Monarch were people from different periods of time, the two of them were still separated by ten thousand years.
Wang Xiao shook his head and laughed bitterly, it was truly a wishful thinking, how could such a high and mighty man like the Divine Monarch have the heart to interact with him, a small fry like him? Even if he had transcended time and space, entered the Grand Desolate Era, entered that era where men were chasing after deer, and met the Divine Monarch, he still might not even remember him.
After the two of them walked in the secret passage for a few hours, they saw that there was a fork in the road in front. The tunnel was split into two, and the two corridors were pitch black, without an end in sight.
Could it be that this corridor was the same as the Misty Forest in the outside world? In the Misty Forest, one could still find water and food, but there was nothing here. It would be alright for it to go on for a short period of time, but if time passed, and himself would starve to death here.
Lver's deep eyes looked at the pitch black path, she did not know which path she should choose, it truly was a test.
"At the top of one of the corridors, there were four big words carved." "Nine out of ten."
On the other path, there were no words.
The four words "Nine Lives to the Death" were vigorous and powerful, like a flood dragon coming out, emitting a powerful pressure. Because there was no wind or rain in the tunnel, these words were still perfectly preserved.
Wang Xiao had never seen words that were so vigorous and powerful, like a flying dragon soaring in the sky. Even the greatest calligrapher of modern times could not compare to it. Especially the word 'death'. It gave people a feeling of having a narrow escape from death, the fear of death.
Looking at the four big words, Lver's expression was very serious. She was hesitating which path to choose. In truth, Wang Xiao was the same, one of the paths did not have any words, it was most likely not one with a slim chance of survival, but once he stepped into this path, he would definitely die.
As for which one he wanted to choose, or how he wanted to choose, Wang Xiao was momentarily unable to make a decision. Could it be that he had to choose this path with a slim chance of survival? However, the message written on the path clearly stated that a narrow chance of survival meant that one would not be able to return.
No, it wasn't a nine out of ten chance of survival, it was a ten out of ten chance of survival.
This was because for an expert of the Divine Monarch's level, once an extremely powerful formation was set up, the opponent he would consider would be an extremely strong one, or at least an opponent like the Azure Monarch or Zhu Jiuyin. This was why he would have a slim chance of survival.
Lver hesitated for a moment, then said to Wang Xiao: "How should we choose, and which path we should take?"
After thinking about it, Wang Xiao clenched his fists tightly. He had a huge decision to make, which would affect his own life and death, as well as the rise and fall of his Divine Monarch Sect. It was time to make his choice, and whether he lived or died, would depend on this time.
"Lver, let's go through this path that has a slim chance of survival." Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.
After hearing Wang Xiao's decision, Lver looked at him in shock, as if she couldn't believe it, as if she thought she had heard wrongly. Could it be that Wang Xiao had gone crazy? Could it be that Wang Xiao was illiterate, so even if he saw these four words, he wouldn't recognize it.
"Are you sure?" Lver asked seriously.
"Yes." Wang Xiao nodded.
Lver said: "Could it be that you have never read before, and do not know the words, or that your language teacher died too early."
Wang Xiao said: "Lver, I have indeed not read many books, I know your stories, but you do not know mine.
Lver never thought that Wang Xiao would encounter such an event when he was young, and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have said that to you."
"It's alright, I'm not being fussy." Wang Xiao said indifferently.
Lver looked at the four big words, then said seriously: "Wang Xiao, it says that there is a slim chance of death on it."
She felt that she had to remind Wang Xiao, so as to not follow him into this path where there was a slim chance of death. If he just died like this, wouldn't that mean that he would feel wronged and that his death wouldn't be worth it?
Wang Xiao said: "You don't need to remind me, although I haven't read many books, I still know those four words that have a slim chance of survival."
Give me a reason." Lver needed a reason, a reason that Wang Xiao could persuade her with. If Wang Xiao could persuade her, she would listen to Wang Xiao and enter the path that would most likely lead to death. If Wang Xiao was not able to persuade her, then she would choose another path.
Wang Xiao asked: "Lver, are you afraid of death?"
Lver did not expect Wang Xiao to suddenly ask this question, so she did not know how to answer. After pondering for a moment, Lver said: "Let's see how we die."
"For example, during this trip into the secret realm, if you have the chance to find treasures but have to pay with your life, are you afraid of death?" Wang Xiao asked again.
Lver very straightforwardly answered: "A person must have a goal in their entire lifetime, and in order to pursue something, they must always pay a price, or perhaps bear a price. If there really is a treasure, then even if there is a life threatening danger, even if there is a nine out of ten chance of death, I will not hesitate. "
"That's right, me too." Wang Xiao said.
"Can you give me a reason now?" Lver said.
Wang Xiao turned around and looked at Lver with his deep and serious eyes.
Seeing Wang Xiao being so serious, Lver was also very serious. Ever since she met Wang Xiao, in the past few days, it was the first time she realized how serious and serious Wang Xiao was. She never thought that Wang Xiao would actually be so serious when he was serious.
After looking at Lver seriously, Wang Xiao said: "Opportunity and danger exist side by side, the strong must have a brave heart, a heart that isn't afraid of death, if they are afraid of life and death and want to obtain treasures, how is that possible. Cultivators were like the fear of fire. How could one not take risks with their own body? Whether it was the Divine Monarch Yellow Emperor or the Azure Monarch, these experts of the Top Level had all experienced a narrow escape before in order to become a peerless expert. If I were a Divine Monarch, even if I were to intentionally give some treasures to my descendants, I would still have to consider whether the treasures I obtain are things that are cowardly enough to die … "
Following Wang Xiao's explanation, Lver felt that what she said made sense. If she gave the treasure to those who were afraid of death and had weak wills, wouldn't that mean that she would waste a genius' land and treasure?
"Idiot, I was convinced by you. Don't worry, I will listen to your arrangements." Lver said in a serious tone.
Wang Xiao was overjoyed: "Lver, thank you for believing in me. Please believe in me, I will not harm you, and even more so, will not use your life to joke around with me."
No one would ever joke around with their own lives. The reason why he made such a decision, was because Wang Xiao had thought about it, and if he had not thought about it, he would never make such a choice.
