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

These young people, determined to change the status quo, believe that only in this way can they change their country, lead it to the future, and enable all people to live happier lives.

Peasant uprisings, rebellious aristocratic families, reformist students...

Countless forces are secretly contacting the Empire, hoping that the Empire can provide them with support to save the people of Chengtian Domain and the faith of the "Great True Lord".

……

The eastern sea area of ​​Chengtian Domain, Jinliu Sea, Baise Islands.

Inside the increasingly sophisticated military base, the Allied Marshal sat in the first position on the left, flanked by a series of high-ranking generals.

They sat upright, their eyes fixed respectfully on His Majesty the Emperor, who sat in the main seat.

Yes, as a diligent and conscientious emperor, Mu Zhaoyang was still worried about the war in Chengtian Region and chose to go to the front line in person to take command.

At this moment, listening to the reports of victory coming from the front and looking at the forces representing the empire on the map, Mu Zhaoyang smiled.

As expected of someone who can follow the Great True Lord, Fairy Qing is truly skilled!

At the current pace, we should soon be able to find out exactly what methods the Samsara Pavilion has!

……

On the afternoon of the conversation with Mu Zhaoyang, Qinghe returned home, dragging a storage bag full of things.

As usual, she cooked dinner for Mu An and brought up the matter of Cheng Tianyu at the dinner table.

"Sir, today I met the emperor of the Great Spirit Empire. He told me that the empire is going to war with some small countries controlled by the Reincarnation Pavilion."

Qinghe's voice was calm and even, as if she were talking to Mu'an not about a war, but just casual conversation at the dinner table.

"Mm." Mu An picked up a piece of cucumber salad, her attitude even more casual than Qing He's.

With something in her mouth, Qinghe looked up at Mu'an and mumbled something indistinctly.

"The Samsara Pavilion is a force cultivated by the Samsara Palace. Fighting against them will likely result in many deaths."

Mu An continued moving, as usual, picking up two more chopsticks from the plate of cucumbers.

After taking three bites, he put down his chopsticks on time and calmly looked at Qinghe.

"What war doesn't result in death?"

Looking at Mu An like this, Qinghe pursed her lips, "That's true, but they are fighting for your beliefs, sir, so they should at least be given some help."

Under Qinghe's gaze, Mu An shook his head. "I don't need their faith, nor have I ever asked anyone to believe in me."

"Is that so..."

The dinner table fell silent. Mu An sat at the table without saying a word, watching Qing He pick at the food in her bowl.

Unlike most people in the Great Spirit Empire, Qinghe doesn't like to eat rice. The ratio of rice to vegetables in her bowl is often 1:10.

After fiddling around for a while, Qinghe suddenly raised her head again, her bright, watery eyes staring straight at Mu An.

"I've been playing games for almost a hundred years, and I'm considered a top-tier gaming expert on Tiangongxing.com."

"Um?"

"Although I've always been clumsy, I consider myself quite skilled at games. If reality were a game, I'd like to give it a try and see if I can change the course of the story."

Seeing Qinghe lower her gaze again as she spoke, Mu An remained silent for a long while.

Is Qinghe stupid?

The answer is obvious.

Ever since we got to know each other, she's been incredibly slow-witted, like a dim-witted little penguin who just can't seem to learn anything.

Thinking about it carefully, she really is quite stupid, so stupid that she can't understand the things in the world, and can't understand the ups and downs of life.

He has been by Mu An's side for almost two hundred years, and it remains the same.

"It's a good thing to have things you like. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can ask me for help."

"Really? Are you being so generous this time, sir? I won't ask for much, just give me a hundred or so systems!"

"Knock knock knock—"

……

Unlike Mu An, who was indifferent to everything, Qing He was quite concerned about the future of the Great Spirit Empire and the war between the various countries of the Tongcheng Tianyu.

As one of the top gamers on Tiangong Star Network, Qinghe believed...

So-called war is not much different from a game.

In the war games on Tiangong Star Network, Qinghe herself doesn't even know how many large-scale battles she has commanded.

In this respect, Qinghe is a professional!

With the idea of ​​making a big splash, Qinghe obtained information about the Samsara Pavilion from Mu Zhaoyang and gave Mu Zhaoyang a detailed introduction to the relationship between the Samsara Palace and the Samsara Pavilion.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of Mu Zhaoyang's strategic plan, Qinghe offered a different opinion.

"In the art of war, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy, while attacking cities is the worst; psychological warfare is superior to physical warfare."

The Empire's enemies have never been the small countries of Chengtian Domain, but the unfathomable Reincarnation Pavilion.

Rather than fighting to the death with the Reincarnation Pavilion, whose methods are unknown, it would be better to incite turmoil within the Chengtian Domain and let the people of Chengtian Domain overthrow their king and their regime themselves.

The empire doesn't need any forceful measures; it only needs to send warships over the cities, drop leaflets, secretly provide some weapons, and support some factions to easily stir up the situation in these small countries.

In this way, the allied forces can stand by and wait for the right opportunity.

During uprisings and rebellions in various countries, the forces supported by the empire can naturally help the empire probe the Reincarnation Pavilion's backup plans.

Once the Empire understands the methods employed by the Reincarnation Pavilion, it can respond with composure.

Even if we can't win, there's a buffer zone so that we don't suffer too much loss.

……

365th year of the Gregorian calendar.

The chaos in the various kingdoms of Chengtian Domain intensified further, with one separatist force after another emerging.

Armed with weapons "scavenged" from deep in the mountains and forests, they launched a fierce attack on the ruling groups of various kingdoms.

On the coalition's military sand table, the blue area representing the coalition's controlled territory continued to expand, gradually merging into one.

Many small countries have already turned half of their land blue.

Everything is proceeding according to Qinghe's plan.

At the current rate of development, within ten years at most, these capitals will be completely covered in blue and become vassals of the empire.

In front of the sand table of the command camp, Qinghe, wearing a long blue dress, stared intently at the illusory projection on the map.

Just like the Two Elements Immortal Island of the Old Celestial Master back then, with Mu An's sponsorship, Qing He obtained a sand table that could observe the situation of the Nine Domains.

At this moment, Qinghe stared at the sand table again and again, and finally asked Mu Zhaoyang, who looked puzzled.

"Is the Samsara Pavilion still making no move?"

"Aside from a few combat puppets, I haven't seen them have any other tricks up their sleeves. Qingxianzi, rest assured, the Empire has plenty of ways to destroy combat puppets."

After thinking about it for a while, Qinghe suddenly raised her hand and pointed to a small country called "Ying" on the map.

"Tomorrow morning, dispatch one hundred warships to capture the capital of Ying Kingdom and arrest all members of the royal family!"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes! I've already contacted Sister Li Yin. We'll start our operation as soon as she arrives tomorrow!"
