Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"The blue sky is dead; the green sky shall rise!"

Before the sounds of the Northern Shuo Royal City had even faded, news began to spread rapidly across the thirteen states of the world, via the inter-state array platform, the immortal gate flying swords, and the Azure Sky Post Road.

The new Xuan King, Gu Changjin, beheads the Anling King and kills Princess Qiyang!

They conquered Hanchuan and divided the two provinces!

Establish the Qingtian Road, cut off the Great Yin edict, and sever the grain supply to the capital!

They've officially raised the flag of rebellion!

The world was shaken.

The Great Yin Dynasty has existed for over 18,000 years, and it is not without its rebellions.

On the contrary, in recent years, disasters have been frequent, people have been living in misery, and there are countless bandits, refugee armies, and large and small rebel armies in various places.

The one with the most momentum was naturally Lu Cheng'an, who raised an army in Jiuyuan.

With the support of the Huangting Dao Palace, he gathered refugees from humble beginnings, gradually swallowing up various rebel armies, and finally shouted "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!" He buried 300,000 of the imperial army's troops who were suppressing the rebellion at Chensha Plain.

Even so, Huang Tianjun started from a small town with a few thousand refugees.

Gu Changjin, however, was different.

He was originally a prince of a different surname personally appointed by the Great Yin Dynasty!

The lord of Beishuo Prefecture was a true high-ranking figure in the imperial court system!

Now, however, he has led a complete rebellion against the Great Yin Dynasty, bringing with him the former officials of the royal court, the officials of the prefectures and counties, the generals of the army, and the armies of the two prefectures.

This means that the enemies of the Great Yin Dynasty are no longer just the lowly people who cannot survive.

Even the kings who were originally seated high in the temple and benefited from the order of Heaven have begun to overturn this table with their own hands!

All factions immediately began frantically investigating the details of the Northern Shuo sacrificial ceremony.

Some people asked why Gu Changjin suddenly raised an army.

Some people were concerned about what methods he had used to suppress the seven prefectures of Beishuo in such a short time and then conquer Hanchuan Prefecture in a single day.

Many people, however, only care about one thing.

Why did Heaven not punish them?

Gu Changjin beheaded a prince, killed a princess, seized the Heavenly Scroll, split two states, and even shouted in public, "The heavens are dead!"

Such a crime, if committed by any other vassal, should have been stripped of their celestial status by Heaven, their fortune severed, and their cultivation suppressed.

But on the altar of Beishuo, the heavens offered no response.

Gu Changjin was not only unharmed, but the blue sky above him even publicly dyed the skies of two states blue!

This scene had a far more terrifying impact on the hearts of the people than the emergence of another righteous army.

In a prefecture, several generals who were originally loyal to the Great Yin Dynasty looked at the Azure Heaven Scroll in the governor's hand for the first time, their eyes becoming hesitant.

In a hereditary marquis's mansion that had been passed down for a thousand years, the old marquis summoned all his descendants overnight to begin recounting the mansion's troops.

Several other sects that had maintained neutrality quietly closed their gates and withdrew their disciples stationed in Tianjing.

Everyone is thinking about the same question.

If Gu Changjin can break free from the heavens, can't they do the same?

When people's hearts are stirred, the heavens begin to tremble.

This vast sky that covers the thirteen states is a result of the combined destiny of the Great Yin Kingdom, the fortunes of the thirteen states, and the aspirations of hundreds of millions of people.

When the court is strong and the people are in awe, Heaven can hang high over the world and suppress all disobedience.

But as more and more people began to doubt the heavens, and as the original thought of converging towards Tianjing gradually turned towards the yellow and blue sky, the blue sky also showed a dimness that was difficult to see with the naked eye for the first time.

A crack has appeared.

Once it cracks, it is very difficult to put it back together.

……

Huangtian Camp.

Inside the central command tent, a landscape map covering several states hangs in mid-air.

Lu Cheng'an's generals and Huangting Dao Palace cultivators gathered here, originally discussing a three-pronged attack to seize the next territory after Huangtian Army occupied the First State.

Suddenly, a monk in charge of intelligence rushed into the tent.

"My lord, an urgent report from Beishuo!"

"The new Xuan King, Gu Changjin, has openly rebelled against the Great Yin Dynasty by beheading the Anling King and killing Princess Qiyang in the royal city as a sacrifice to his banner!"

"He also conquered Hanchuan Prefecture, proclaimed himself the Daoist Master of the Azure Heaven Path, and now commands two prefectures!"

The tent fell silent instantly.

Several generals subconsciously looked at the landscape map.

Where Beishuo and Hanchuan are located, a bluish light has already appeared, facing the yellow territory controlled by Huangtian Army in the distance.

"Two states?"

Someone couldn't help but ask, "What about the governor of Hanchuan and those three terrestrial deities?"

"Two are dead. One was converted into a disciple of the Azure Heaven Path by Gu Changjin. Xie Linjiang, the governor of Hanchuan Prefecture, has already been beheaded!"

"Gu Changjin himself is suspected to be... a terrestrial immortal at the pinnacle!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed completely.

Not long ago, they only regarded Gu Changjin as a new king who seized power in a time of crisis after his father and brother died in battle.

While they were plotting how to take over the second state, the other party had already quietly acquired two states.

An elder from the Huangting Dao Palace pondered for a moment before speaking first.

"We can cooperate."

"Now that the rebel armies in various places are fighting independently, it has given the Great Yin the opportunity to suppress them one by one. If we can lead the Yellow Heaven and Blue Heaven armies to gather the rebel armies of the world and form an alliance to attack the Great Yin, we can first break through Tianjing and then discuss the future ownership of the world. This is not impossible."

"good!"

A burly general slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"If Gu Changjin can attack Hanchuan, then we'll attack the western border. We'll advance from both sides simultaneously and see which side the court can afford to defend!"

"My lord, I am willing to personally make a trip to Beishuo!"

The more people talked about it, the more they felt that this was feasible.

Only Gu Cangyue and his son, sitting in the corner, had increasingly grim expressions.

Soon, someone looked over with a smile.

"The old prince truly has excellent skills in raising his son!"

"Your father and brothers aided me in establishing the Yellow Emperor, while your second son established his own. Your Gu family has actually seized two paths to heaven!"

These words sounded like praise, but to Gu Cangyue and his son, they were more painful than being slapped in the face.

Gu Changming clenched his fists tightly.

Lady Liu was killed, and the throne of Xuanwang was seized.

Even Huang Tianjun, whom he has pledged allegiance to, is now discussing how to cooperate with Gu Changjin!

Some even jokingly asked, "Since the old prince is familiar with the new Xuan King, why don't you deliver this letter of alliance?"

Gu Changming suddenly looked up, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Gu Cangyue grabbed his arm and forced a smile.

"I am already a dead man in the eyes of Heaven, and it is not convenient for me to show my face easily. Besides, that rebellious son is unruly and probably won't care about any father-son relationship."

Lu Cheng'an glanced at him, not wanting to make things difficult for the others any further.

"General Gu is right."

"We will send another envoy with generous gifts to Beishuo. If the heavens are willing to join us in attacking the Great Yin, it will naturally be a blessing for all the people of the world."

His tone was gentle, but his gaze was fixed on the blue area on the landscape painting.

Gu Changjin is no longer just someone worth paying attention to.

But he is a true rival who can contend with him for the world and the will of the people!

The discussions continued in the main tent.

Gu Cangyue had no heart to listen anymore.

He was indeed shocked by the strength Gu Changjin displayed, and he never expected that this pawn, which he had used as a sacrifice, could stir up such a huge momentum in such a short time.

However, after the initial shock, a sense of relief rose in his heart.

Fortunately, I had sent the message to Wenren of the Taicang Immortal Sect in advance!

The bigger the commotion Gu Changjin makes, the stronger his awakened bloodline and abilities become, and the less likely those within the Wenren clan will allow him to continue growing.

So what if one is a terrestrial immortal in the highest realm?

Among the Wenren clan, there exists a powerful figure who surpasses even the terrestrial immortals!

Even if such beings are suppressed by the heavens and military formations after arriving in the Thirteen Provinces, the power they can unleash is far beyond what terrestrial immortals can contend with.

Moreover, some people want Gu Changjin's bloodline to continue, while others just want Wenren Zhaoxue's lineage to disappear forever.

No matter which side comes, Gu Changjin will not have a good ending.

Thinking of this, Gu Cangyue finally let out a slow breath.

Let you be smug for a few more days.

In the end, it's just doing the work for someone else!

You won't live much longer!

……

At the same time.

Taicang Immortal Sect, the ancestral home of the Wenren clan.

A long-dormant ancient lamp, representing bloodline, suddenly lit up.

Three words slowly emerged from the pale flames—Gu Changjin!

An invisible hand reached out and gently picked up the jade slip that had been passed down from the Great Yin Dynasty, which was under the lamp.

"Zhao Xue's child is still alive?"

"And yet, in the thirteen states... a clear sky has been established?"

After a brief silence, a voice, devoid of emotion, echoed throughout the ancestral land.

"Two people go."

"Bring him back before the other branches of the sect receive the news."

"Being alive is the best thing."

"If you refuse—a corpse will do."
