Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Or was it because the late king had an extraordinary foundation, unlike ordinary people?

Upon returning to Wangdao, King Jiwu first visited Xiangling and Hanyancui in their palace.

The Slaughter Isles are located in a sea area and consist of countless islands. The largest is King Island, followed by Thorn Island, Shi Island, Ling Island, and Heng Island.

In the center of Wang Island stands a towering jade pagoda tree, the very tree from which she was born.

Luxurious prayer halls, sacrificial halls, and meditation halls were built beside the royal tree, and these palaces were occupied by the elders.

The only things belonging to King Jiwu were the royal palace for deliberation and the sleeping quarters behind it.

Seeing that King Jiwu had returned alone, Xiangling looked curiously behind her and asked, "Brother, where is your special envoy, Miss Yu? I haven't seen her since she returned several days ago."

"She has something to do."

"Strange, I always feel that the special envoy looks a little like me, don't you think so, Sister Cui?"

"Perhaps all the women of your Slaughtering Isles are blonde with big eyes."

King Jiwu changed the subject, saying to Han Yancui, "The Demon Prince has been released. He wants you to return to the Fire Prison. What do you mean?"

"what!"

Panic flashed across Han Yancui's face. She gripped Ji Wu Wang's royal robe tightly and pleaded, "Ji Wu Wang, please let me stay on Slaughter Island. I absolutely do not want to see the Demon Prince."

Chapter 109 The First Batch of Supplies Delivered to the Land of the Dead

Through the gate of the Heavenly Burial Mountain, Luo Hou comforted Shao Hao.

"Nine Demon Wings Princess sacrificed herself for the country, rather than dying in a pointless internal strife. Her death will be forever recorded in the annals of the fallen kingdom."

“Godfather, I wish to personally lead the army into battle to avenge the Venerable One.”

"Hao'er, your existence represents the benevolence of the Dead Kingdom. Its vast land, abundant resources, and powerful army cannot bring happiness to its people."

How can we bring happiness?

"My godfather was also a failure... The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will explore it with you."

"Does Godfather intend to unify the Bitter Realm?"

Even though they were separated by the gates of the land of the dead, Rahu still smiled.

There are so many reclusive masters in the Bitter Realm, each with their own territory. Why bother with demolition projects that end up creating countless holdouts?

"The Bitter Realm not only has the four major martial arts worlds of the East, West, South, and North, but also the Central Plains and numerous independent organizations. The process of unification will inevitably be bloody. My godfather has tried it before and has no interest in doing it again."

"Conquest and resistance, rule and independence."

“I have heard of the feudal system in ancient times, which is a good solution. I am the Zhou emperor, and the rest are feudal lords.”

Shao Hao seemed to ponder for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Sister Jun let me read all the books in the Heavenly Capital Library, but Hao'er doesn't remember the enfeoffment system and the Zhou emperor."

“What I saw elsewhere.”

"If it's convenient for you, godfather, could you please bring this book to me?"

"..."

At the same time, the celestial beings and the earthly beings are also in dialogue.

Shao Hao established a cemetery at the northernmost part of the capital, backed by the capital of the Kingdom of the Dead and facing the endless sea.

A grave mound was built in the cemetery, and a tombstone was erected.

The tombstone was carved from a single piece of gray-white boulder, and inscribed with "Tomb of the Nine-Winged Demoness" in both the script of the Dead Kingdom and the script of the Bitter Realm.

The Earth One reads to the Heaven One.

This is the first tomb in the history of the Dead Kingdom.

In the past, the bodies of those who died in battle or were killed for crimes were simply thrown into the Endless Sea.

The Earth One was puzzled: "Heaven One, life is created from nothingness and returns to nothingness after death, so why bury the remains in the earth?"

The Heavenly One said, "This is a custom of the realm of suffering, representing remembrance."

The term "地者" refers to a custom that is superfluous or unnecessary.

The Heavenly One said, “It is laughable that those lowly lives do not understand what commemoration is, yet they blindly follow this ritual.”

The Earth One: "The Son of God has greatly changed the Kingdom of Death."

The Celestial One said, "But the death of the Nine-Winged Demoness has also made the people of the Dead Kingdom begin to doubt his divine power."

Earthly One: "The Demon Prince's Moth-Sky Evil Flame should not be underestimated."

The Celestial Being said, "The Demon Prince is a more terrifying being than the Lord of Curses, and our God of War is too upright and kind."

The man on the ground was eager to try: "Shall I go and meet him?"

The Celestial One immediately became displeased: "Earth One, have your injuries healed?"

"It's 80% recovered; we can rebuild Sin Island now."

"Preserve our strength and wait for the opportunity to arise."

"What do you mean?"

The Heavenly One said, "As long as Asura is defeated and the two Venerables who accompanied him on the expedition die, the prestige of the Son of God will be completely destroyed."

The Earth One was very surprised: "Heaven One, as long as the Kingdom of Death is united, conquering the entire Four Realms will not be difficult. Why do you wish for the Asura to be defeated?"

"After possessing the entire Four Realms, will the Kingdom of the Dead still need you to build the land, or me to create life? Land, at that time, both you and I will be abandoned by the people of the Kingdom of the Dead."

"As creators, I believe the dead will always remember us."

The Heavenly One's tone revealed a sense of helplessness: "Like the Nine-Winged Demoness? You and I will become two memorial graves."

The earth-dweller was bewildered.

On the wasteland, the first batch of supplies delivered by Wanyi Commercial Castle arrived: 100,000 cattle and sheep, plus a number of daily necessities.

The supplies were delivered by someone arranged by Cui Wanyi. I heard that Cui Luohan and Huang Quan are still overseas.

The cattle and sheep huddled together, staring at the 100,000 soldiers about to set off for war.

Under the command of Yama's Lock, hundreds of makeshift stoves were erected on the wasteland, a giant copper pot was hung up, and a fire was lit.

The water in the pot boiled, bubbling and spewing white foam.

The Kingdom of the Dead selected 100,000 of its strongest warriors to march on the Shattered Island, and the first batch of cattle and sheep served as their farewell feast.

If it weren't for the presence of Death, Asura, Silver Moon Wolf, and Ghost Prison Evil God, as well as the cold gaze of Night God, these warriors would have already pounced on them and devoured the cattle and sheep.

Right now, all that's left is drooling.

My stomach was even hungrier.

Ghost Prison Evil God looked disdainfully at Silver Moon Greedy Wolf's drool: "Have some self-respect. Many of your subordinates are watching you now."

"Hehehehehe, I haven't eaten beef or mutton in a long time."

"Didn't you have a hearty meal in the Burning Buddha Hell not long ago?"

"The monsters and demons in the Buddha Prison are hard to eat, they are fishy and smelly, unlike the chewy and delicious creatures of the Xi tribe."

"You've wiped out the entire demon race."

"Nonsense, they were clearly wiped out by the Night God."

"Shh~"

The Ghost Prison Evil God appears rude, but he is actually shrewd beneath his rough exterior and understands that this is a taboo topic.

Night God walked into the cattle and sheep, and with a flash of bright light, the cattle and sheep were killed before they could even scream.

Then, blades flashed, fur fell off, and the massive body fell into the boiling copper pot.

The soldiers rushed over, reaching out to grab the boiling meat from the pot.

"slow!"

Yama roared, "No salt yet! Only meat with salt is real food!"

Immediately, Yama Suo tossed the hundred-pound bag of salt into the air, and the snow-white salt grains flew through the air, fluttering and falling into the pot.

Some of it landed on the soldier's face, and the soldier stuck out his tongue to lick it, immediately shouting:

"What is this smell?!"

"It's so exciting!"

When the aroma of meat wafted out, the King of Hell's Lock could no longer stop the soldiers' uprising, and 100,000 hands tore at the food in the boiling water.

Silver Moon Wolf howled and revealed its true form, charging into the ranks of the warriors: "This pot is mine!"

The Ghost Prison Evil God had been elegantly tearing off a leg of lamb to gnaw on, but when the first piece of meat entered his mouth, he choked for a moment, then let out a deafening roar: "This pot is mine!"

Asura gazed upon this desolate wasteland.

The fire leaps, and the people feast.

The Kingdom of the Dead finally ended its history of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

When will the land of the dead be like the land of suffering, where green fungus grows everywhere and crops flourish?

He then looked towards the direction of Earth Sin Island, where there was still a huge, deep pit.

Earth Sin Island was originally the best region in the Kingdom of the Dead, and the most likely area for farming and grazing, but the Heavenly Beings and the Earthly Beings have always avoided it and never mentioned when Earth Sin Island would be repaired.

Thinking of this, Ashura clenched his fists.

I must conquer the Four Realms!

Even if Heaven has ulterior motives and Earth abandons this land, the people of the Dead Kingdom can still migrate to the Four Realms.

As he was deep in thought, Shao Hao walked over.

"Asura, when the war has progressed to a certain point, it is time to sit down and negotiate."

"Hmm? Please, Death, speak plainly."

"The purpose of war is never war itself, but to obtain the greatest benefit."
