Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Following the decree of the Pure Lotus Dharma King, Xiao Guang led the Great Snow Region Allied Forces to capture the Tianbi Mountains in one fell swoop, restoring the Great Snow Region to its former glory.

As mani stones inscribed with scriptures spread throughout the Tianbi Mountains, the prayer flags of the Great Dharma King also blew across the entire snowy region.

The entire snowy region was enveloped under the will of the Great Dharma King.

The soul came from the world of ingenuity. Xiao Guang, who was once a marketing master in the world of ingenuity, also completely merged his soul with his body in this process, achieving the realm of Heavenly Martial Saint and extending his lifespan to two hundred years.

Like Ye Lin, Xiao Guang also has his own cheat code.

A library filled with Buddhist scriptures.

Each Buddhist scripture in the library contains a special power, which enabled Xiao Guang to gain a foothold in the Great Snow Region and even be valued by the Pure Lotus Dharma King.

With his authority restored and new scriptures obtained, the Pure Lotus Dharma King, though unable to break through the limitations of the snowy land, glimpsed new possibilities.

After regaining full authority, the Pure Lotus Dharma King issued a new decree.

They will remain steadfast in their defense of the snowy plains, no longer vying for supremacy.

The following year, the abbot of Hongshan Pure Land Temple in northern Tibet attained the status of a terrestrial deity, and another Dharma King was added to the Tibetan Plateau.

……

The Great Snowfield halted its offensive, but the other two forces showed no sign of stopping.

Since the Qin King started his rebellion in Jiaozhou, he has won many battles over the years, successively capturing twelve states located east of Daqi and dominating the eastern side of Daqi.

The most prominent region, the Southern Frontier, was unstoppable, conquering nineteen prefectures in three years and showing signs of dominating the world.

Ye Lin worked diligently day and night, bringing him one step closer to his dream of playing with the Empress.

In fact, if Ye Lin hadn't acted cautiously and adopted a gradual encroachment strategy, the army in the southern border region would probably have already reached the walls of Qi'an.

Of course, according to Ye Lin's own words.

If Bai Xi hadn't always disguised herself and sneaked into the military camp, slowing down his advance, it would have been a different story.

He had already draped the dragon robe over Bai Xi's body.

Bai Xi expressed his deep understanding of such complaints, and that very night he changed into a dragon robe and stayed in the tent for three days and three nights.

For three consecutive days, the staff officers and generals in the southern border region stayed far away from their tents, afraid of hearing anything they shouldn't hear.

If you say something you shouldn't, or if Ye Lin sees it, you're definitely in trouble.

As everyone knows, Marshal Ye Lin is petty and incompetent, yet he's afraid of his wife and doesn't allow anyone to say anything about it.

Coincidentally, the greatest king of the Southern Frontier was also a wicked man who always deliberately tormented the marshal.

The two were having a great time, but the generals were in a bad mood.

……

Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

In chaotic times, countless heroes will emerge to adapt to the times.

September of the 91st year of Qiming.

Just when everyone thought that Southern Xinjiang was the most likely to be the final victor, another unexpected event occurred.

A celestial phenomenon has appeared in Jiaozhou, with a thousand-foot-tall imperial statue standing tall in the east.

The puppet emperor in the eyes of the world, King Mingle of Qin, quietly ascended to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Having ascended to the status of a terrestrial immortal, Jun Mingle changed his previous decadent style and overturned the situation in one fell swoop, taking all the forces that were originally dependent on the Zhu family into his own hands.

The opportunistic Zhu family immediately bowed and handed over their entire fortune, even though they had already married their eldest daughter to Jun Mingle as empress.

Jun Mingle did not hold a grudge against the Zhu family. Instead, he continued to acknowledge their original official positions and retained their original troops to continue attacking cities and capturing strongholds.

In the same month, Meng Yan, Jun Cheng'an, and Lin Daofu arrived in Jiaozhou with their respective teams.

Jun Cheng'an, in the name of the royal ancestors, recognized Prince Qin, Jun Mingle, as the new emperor and designated Jiaozhou City as the new capital of Daqi.

When the news spread, countless local forces, whether loyal or wavering, switched sides and sided with Jun Mingle.

Anyone with eyes to see understands that with four terrestrial immortals in charge, even if the new emperor cannot restore the Great Qi to its former glory, he can at least dominate a region in this chaotic world.

……

The departure of the three terrestrial deities dealt an unprecedented blow to Qi'an City, and also caused the Great Qi to be completely divided into two parts.

Because both Qi'an City and Jiaozhou City claimed to be the legitimate successors of the Great Qi Dynasty, people referred to the Great Qi court in Qi'an City as the Western Qi and the new court in Jiaozhou City as the Eastern Qi for easy distinction.

Thus, the Great Qi Dynasty was plunged into a situation where two courts, one in the east and one in the west, coexisted.

……

In October of the same year, after three years of adjustment and having completely seized power in Qishan Road, the new ruler of Qishan Road, Mu Yong, issued an edict ordering four million troops to advance in four routes, attacking simultaneously from the southeast, northwest, and southwest.

Each of the four armies had a million troops, and each army was accompanied by a small air force.

Years ago, when Mu An had nothing to do, he built some miniature versions of the Apocalypse warships and gave them to Mu Ling'er as gifts.

Because Mu An had a fondness for crafting weapons by hand for a period of time, he made extra ships while building them, eventually creating an entire fleet.

Later, in order to play military sand table games with Mu Ling'er and make the battle between the two armies more realistic, Mu An simply built three more fleets.

The four fleets utilize space technology and are mostly in a miniature state in the outside world, resembling handmade toys.

But if they were restored to their original state, they would be hundreds of giant ships, each a thousand meters long, capable of soaring through the heavens.

When Mu An and Mu Ling'er have nothing to do, they play chess in the Four Symbols World, using the warships as a real-life military sand table.

Later, when Mu Yong took over the affairs of Qishan Road, he asked Mu Ling'er for this sand table toy.

What was once a toy in Mu Ling'er's hands has, after being armed and modified, become the most powerful weapon of war in the hands of Qishan Dao.

Generation after generation, the officials of Qishan Road, eager to make achievements, endured for over a hundred years before finally getting the chance to be promoted, ennobled, and appointed as prime ministers.

As the war began, the four armies rushed to take the lead, fearing that others would steal the credit.

In just two years, the army conquered eight states in succession, its momentum unstoppable.

While maintaining its elite troops to fight independently, Qishan Dao recruited soldiers as it fought, entrusting a small number of elite soldiers with training for the later recruits, and sending all of them to the front lines.

The abundant reserves of money and grain allowed the Qishan army to grow larger and larger with each battle.

After the slogan that soldiers would be able to eat three full meals a day and receive rice and noodles upon joining the army was proclaimed, people everywhere immediately defected to the enemy.

Southern Xinjiang only provides two meals a day, while Qishan Road raises the standard to three meals a day and guarantees that there will be oil and fat every day.

Such treatment made those people who couldn't afford to eat every day extremely envious.

Wherever the Qishan army went, the local people would eagerly wait outside the city, each carrying a wooden stick and a kitchen knife, holding pots and pans, waiting for the royal army to distribute food to them.

Under the onslaught of food, the Qishan Road's advance encountered almost no significant resistance, easily expanding its territory to four times its original size.

It wasn't until they clashed with the armies of Nanjiang, Datongdao, and Dongqi that the three armies—the eastern, southern, and western routes—slowed down their offensive.

Only the northern route remained, still advancing towards Qi'an City.
