But before that, there are some things that need to be taken care of. After all, I destroyed the Investiture of the Gods, and I can't just ignore the mess that followed."

Yuan Shen's lips curled up slightly, a hint of teasing flashing in his eyes, and he said with a half-smile.

"Is Madam finally planning to live a carefree life? Back when I held the position of one of the Three Dukes and achieved my heart's desire, I stopped concerning myself with court affairs."

Actually, I could see His Majesty's apprehension at that time. The powerful clans were becoming increasingly strong, but it was just a case of adding fuel to the fire.

If we continue to maneuver in the imperial court, the Yuan family will likely build a vast network of relationships there, and our daughter might even become an empress and a member of the imperial family's maternal relatives.

The rise of a family to its peak is the beginning of its decline, so I stepped back in time.

Since Madam is unwilling to interfere in the change of dynasties, then we only need to resolve the lingering issues of divine retribution, and leave the rest to fate.

If Ji Fa still possessed the ability to rule the world, he would naturally be supported by his subordinates and ascend the throne.

Tang Yu nodded slightly; she shared the same thought.

Although this world is very different from what she remembers, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods has been resolved, and Heaven will no longer wantonly send down divine punishments to harm the people. The greatest crisis has been resolved.

What happens next is up to fate.

If Ji Fa continues to follow the will of the people and move towards the predetermined historical trajectory, she will naturally not interfere.

After all, in this world where even mortals can cultivate immortality, Yuan Shen can also cultivate immortality.

Rather than scheming against a bunch of people, it's better to roam the world freely.

Moreover, after Yuan Shen cultivates immortality in this world, the two of them can live even longer.

So Tang Yu revealed his plan.

"The divine punishment that Heaven sent down has dissipated. No more innocent people will be infected with the plague, no more infants will die in the South, the crops in Xiqi will grow normally next year, and the water sources in the East will be restored to normal."

Therefore, I only need to send someone back to the south, and following the previous methods, I will be able to completely resolve the spread of the plague. However, the forces behind Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao still need to be dealt with properly.

These two individuals, one seeking to use the Investiture of the Gods to save the world, and the other plotting to seize it, are unaware of my intentions and will undoubtedly cause much trouble in the future.

We all have families in this world, and if this problem isn't resolved, our families will inevitably be affected.

Yuan Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with certainty.

"What you say is absolutely right, Madam. This matter concerns the safety of our family and cannot be taken lightly. Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao are backed by powerful and complex forces. We need to plan carefully and figure out the intentions of those behind them."

Once these troubles are resolved, I will travel with you to all the wonderful places in this world, making the most of this precious time.

After saying that, Yuan Shen gently grasped Tang Yu's hand, and their eyes met, filled with determination and expectation for the future.

The next day, Tang Yu went to see her family first.

The moment she stepped into the house, her father and brothers' eyes lit up with joy when they saw her.

"Yu'er, you're finally back!"

Hearing her father say that, Tang Yu smiled and spoke.

“I’ve been acting unilaterally lately, which has caused you all worry.”

Mr. Tang quickly shook his head. When the whole family moved to this unfamiliar place, he thought they would have a hard time surviving.

After all, being far from home and without the support of family, it is not easy to settle down in a new place. If you are not careful, you will be bullied by others.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Nanbo and his son showed great care for their family, not only arranging comfortable accommodations but also securing official positions for them in the Marquis's residence.

If they wished to return to their old business, the Marquis generously provided them with connections and resources. Such kindness overwhelmed the family with gratitude.

During that time, the family often gathered together at night, whispering among themselves: "Why is the Marquis of Nan so highly regarded?"

It wasn't until Prince E Shun frequently visited and helped solve their problems that the family began to vaguely guess the relationship between Tang Yu and E Shun.

After recounting his family's recent life, Tang's father spoke with great respect for the Marquis of Nanbo and his son, but then he sighed.

“Yu’er, the young master is exceptionally talented and a gentleman, but we are of lowly status. I’m afraid that you will suffer if he marries a legitimate wife in the future.”

The elder brothers and sisters-in-law nodded in agreement, their faces showing concern.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu was taken aback at first, then smiled broadly.

“Father, elder brother, sister-in-law, you need not worry. I am a cultivator. If the young master accompanies me, we will embark on the path of cultivation together in the future. I will only be his one and only wife. He will not bully me, and I will not bully him.”

As she spoke, she reached out and a sword radiating dazzling spiritual energy instantly flew into her hand.

"Look, I've slain quite a few demons with this sword."

The family was immediately stunned by this amazing scene, their faces filled with amazement.

Tang Yu then recounted his childhood adventures, fabricating a backstory to claim he had a powerful lineage and was destined to become an immortal.

"Father, I may not be able to come back often in the future because of the many affairs of my sect."

This is a communication bell. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis or emergency, be sure to use it to contact me.

After saying this, she gave her family several amulets before leaving to find Yuan Shen.

At this moment, Yuan Shen was also discussing his future plans with his father, E Chongyu.

He and Tang Yu had no intention of following the rules of power struggles in the human world; they simply lived a quiet life in their fiefdom.

After dealing with the aftermath of the Investiture of the Gods, they wanted to live as a pair of carefree immortals in this world.

“Father, you are a loving father. I know that the continuation of the family line is very important, so you might as well remarry and have children so that the family line can continue.”

E Chongyu first looked surprised, then couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

“My son, how could I be sad or dissatisfied? You have embarked on the path of cultivation and will be able to live forever. I only hope that your future will be smooth and that you will become a carefree immortal. That would be more enjoyable than living in the mortal world. How could I possibly stop you?”

I just hope you'll come back to visit often when you have time. After you become an immortal, you should be able to come back, right?

Yuan Shen immediately smiled and nodded.

"Of course, Yu'er and I won't be restricted too much, we just won't stay in one place for long."

Upon hearing this, E Chongyu laughed even more heartily.

"Alright, then I'll remarry! If I don't have a son, I can adopt one from the family; none of that matters."

"But I'm currently worried about the situation in the south. Do you know what news has come from Chaoge?"

Yuan Shen looked bewildered, his expression questioning.

After leaving his father's courtyard and reuniting with Tang Yu, Yuan Shen hurriedly told her about what had happened in Chaoge.

Tang Yu was shocked after hearing this.

"Wait, did I hear that right? Wasn't Yin Shou killed by Ji Fa? We both saw him fall from the city wall after being stabbed. How did he come back to life?"

Yuan Shen shook his head helplessly.

"I was also shocked when I heard it from my father today. To come back from the dead, Yin Shou must have had a master helping him."

"Could it be the person behind Shen Gongbao? Yuanshi Tianzun absorbed a lot of magic power when he revived Yin Jiao. The person who can revive Yin Shou must be as powerful as Yuanshi Tianzun."

After Tang Yu finished his guess, Yuan Shen agreed and nodded in agreement, after all, the forces behind Shen Gongbao were no ordinary people.

However, Yuan Shen's expression turned serious, and he brought up another matter.

"This matter is not the most important right now. Today, Father gave me an even more pressing matter. In addition to Yin Shou's resurrection, another urgent matter in Chaoge is the return of Wen Zhong, who has been fighting in the North Sea for ten years."

His troops were all elite soldiers and generals of the Yin Shang dynasty, arguably the strongest fighting force of the Yin Shang. Now, because my son and I fled, Ji Fa rebelled and killed Yin Shou, and Wen Zhong will likely soon lead a large army to attack us.”

Tang Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Wen Zhong's strength should not be underestimated; we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

The two decided to go to Chaoge to check on the situation. Then Tang Yu learned the reason for Yin Shou's resurrection: it was actually the fox spirit Su Daji who had been resurrected.

So, Su Daji is even stronger than Yuanshi Tianzun?

What a magical world.

Chapter 10 Investiture of the Gods

After Tang Yu finished complaining about Kunlun Mountain and Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuan Shen spoke up thoughtfully.

"When we were attacking Su Hu, the Marquis of Ji Province, Su Daji herself was already dead. This fox spirit possessed her at that time."

Yuan Shen hadn't talked much about his life in Chaoge lately, so Tang Yu immediately asked out of curiosity.

"You hostages, having left your homes at a young age and grown up in Chaoge, have you only learned military strategy and tactics?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shen was taken aback at first, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the laughter grew louder and louder.

Seeing this, Tang Yu became a little annoyed. She reached out and gently pinched Yuan Shen's cheek, scolding him angrily, "Don't laugh at me. Tell me quickly, what's wrong with what I said?"

Yuan Shen gently took Tang Yu's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and then explained with a smile.

"Madam, please don't be angry. How could I laugh at you? It's just that your question reminds me of the incredibly foolish tactics used by the Chaoge army."

I fought half my life in my previous life and thought I had seen many battles, but the way the Chaoge army fought was truly unbelievable.

Take Grand Tutor Wen's ten years of campaigning in the North Sea, for example. In my opinion, it wasn't that the opponents were too powerful, but rather that they fought without any strategy or method.

I really can't understand it. Was this how wars were fought in ancient times, or is it that no one in this world has yet come along to teach them the methods of warfare? Otherwise, how could they have made so many foolish mistakes?

Tang Yu's curiosity was completely piqued, and she urged him on.

"Stop beating around the bush and tell me in detail how absurd this is?"

Yuan Shen sighed and began to recount his story.

"In military campaigns, logistics and supplies are of paramount importance, followed by military discipline and training, and then favorable weather and terrain."

Take the last battle against Su Hu, for example. Yin Shou actually chose to fight in the coldest winter, in a snowy and icy place.

In previous battles, both sides had suffered countless casualties. When Yin Shou led the hostage army and the Yin Shang army to attack the city gate of Jizhou, the enemy set fire to the city gate, and countless cavalry and warhorses perished in the flames.

Training a cavalryman and a warhorse is no easy task, yet Yin Shou insisted on sending his army into the sea of ​​fire, resulting in the loss of most of his elite cavalry.

Although we ultimately won this war, in my opinion, it was utterly foolish.

"Fighting in the freezing cold, logistics and food supplies were hard to keep up. There were no cotton-padded clothes in those days. Only our Proton Regiment could wear thick clothes. Most of the soldiers in the army died of hunger and cold. More died on the battlefield than from hunger and cold."

"Madam, now you understand why I laughed just now. This kind of fighting has absolutely no military strategy whatsoever; it doesn't even understand the most basic principles of timing and terrain. It's utterly laughable."

Tang Yu's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this.
