"Zheng Guo was the first hegemon of Qi State, but the most prosperous ones were Jin and Chu."

Cao Ya shook his head, these two princes each have their own depth, and they have a clear king and a powerful ruler. They have a large population, a vast territory, and abundant resources. It is surprising that they cannot develop.

"The Zhou royal family in Luoyi no longer has any sense of existence, and the land of Wangji is also shrinking."

"However, the rise of Jin is also inseparable from the innovation of its internal system."

"However, there are six ministers who succeed and six ministers who fail. The final demise of the Jin Kingdom is that it was divided among the three families."

"The Chu State has the most extensive land and the largest population. It can be said that the foundation is the most powerful, but there are many large families. It is very difficult for the King of Chu to command. Only a talented and strategist can barely suppress it. The monarch is a little more stupid, but he just can't listen.

After hearing the announcement... Well, the situation is quite different from the situation in heaven."

Cao Ya secretly smiled, although there are gods in heaven who have returned to their thrones, how many of them may obey the orders of the Jade Emperor?

Although the King of Chu is not as good as the Jade Emperor, this situation can be compared.

"In addition to these four princes, there are Qin, Song, and finally, Wu and Yue who are competing for supremacy."

"The historical lines are pretty much the same, but the specific scenarios are quite different."

"The monarchs here often reign for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years!"

"It is inhumane luck. It is both an auxiliary and a 'poison'. Over time, the king will be lost and fall into madness. I am afraid that they will not be willing to abdicate."

"After all, after leaving office, if you don't master the destiny of humanity, your strength will decline rapidly."

"There are only a few people who can go to Huoyun Cave and maintain their Taoism."

"The requirements of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are still very high. It is impossible to accept any weak or mediocre king. Even ordinary monarchs with some minor achievements are not qualified. They must be heroes!"

There is no problem with this. Fire Cloud Cave is the holy land of the human race, and standards should not be lowered.

When Cao Ya cultivates, he will not completely ignore the developments in the outside world and always pay attention to them.

Occasionally, he would go down to the lower world and kill monsters.

People from all over the world have set foot there, and have seen the immortals and gods.

The prestige of Jidu Xingjun has spread throughout the world, and he is known as the pinnacle of quasi-sages!

He also went to Luoyi, and there was no old man named Li in the library of Zhou's room.

Cao Ya guessed that perhaps I was also traveling, and it would take a few more years before I could reach Luoyi.

In order not to expose himself and seem to be "peeping" into the future, Cao Ya said nothing and left naturally.

He went to Huashan again and communicated with Yang Chan. It was already the border of Qin State and he still worshiped the "Three Holy Mothers".

"The Qin State is very ambitious. It conquered the western border and wanted to go east, but was blocked and suffered heavy losses one after another." Yang Chan said, being on the earth, he knew the situation of the princes more clearly.

After bidding farewell to Yang Chan, Cao Ya did not go to the current capital of Qin. Duke Wen of Qin also died long ago.

He doesn't recognize the current Lord Qin.

Only after defeating a quasi-holy demon, Cao Ya returned to heaven.

However, Nanfangbuzhou was still in constant turmoil and wars were frequent.

After all, the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and the Zhou royal family moved eastward. It was true that they did not have much strength, and the human race seemed to be declining. However, the princes from all directions emerged one after another, which was beyond the expectations of those who were weak in Hunyuan.

Naturally, many big demons and evil spirits will not just sit back and watch the development of the human race, and are attacking.

The two kingdoms of Jin and Chu each led their allies to conquer the south and the north, and achieved great success in battle.

The names of the two overlords were so resounding that even the Zhou royal family could not keep up with them.

However, after recovering the fallen homeland, it is not easy to continue to expand the territory.

As a result, the two kingdoms of Jin and Chu fought with each other, but Jin won more and Chu won less.

But it was impossible for Jin to completely defeat Chu.

In addition, if the Chu State occasionally breaks out, it can also attack the Jin State and capture cities and territories, causing great losses to it.

Simply speaking, the two countries have peace talks and no longer go to war. At most, they are supporting other countries to fight "proxy wars."

In the corner of the country, the Qin State also rose, but was besieged by demons and quickly declined.

However, the Qin State still held on to the old western frontier territory it had conquered. They worked together as one, built military fortresses, and resisted the invasion of the demon army at all costs.

Due to serious casualties, the Qin State recruited talents, that is, ordinary people. As long as they were willing to join the Qin State, they were welcome and offered many preferential conditions.

But the dangers in the western border area still scare away the people.

A large number of Qin Jun died on the battlefield.

Not to mention the soldiers and civilians below!

In order to seek support, Qin, Jin, and Chu all had marriage alliances.

The two overlords also need the Qin State to serve as a barrier to the west and resist monsters and evil spirits, so they are naturally willing to provide support to a certain extent.

Of course, if Qin develops too rapidly and becomes a new first-class power, threatening the status of both, the two overlords will tacitly agree to take action to weaken Qin.

This also led to Qin's annexation being very unsatisfactory, and the eastward movement was even further out of reach.

Simply, Qin changed its target and no longer stared at the country of thousands of vassals of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, but looked to the west of the western border.

In those lands where demons are rampant, there are also human tribes struggling to survive.

It is time to march westward to wipe out the demons and rescue the people. This is not only a great cause, it will be praised all over the world, but also a large number of people will join us. The territory will be expanded, the resources will be rich, and the population will be more. It will also increase the national power, and the foundation will become more powerful.

Moreover, the two kingdoms of Jin and Chu had no foundation there and could not stop Qin's expansion.

The only thing I worry about is the big monsters and evil spirits!

But from the verbal promise of Emperor Zhou, the Qin State gradually developed into a second- and third-class powerful country in Nanfangbu Continent with empty words and no stronghold. It relied on the courage to fight, the courage to fight, and the fear of life and death!

Even Qin Jun was mentally prepared to be wrapped in horse leather.

What's more, many Qin people have been harmed by monsters, their relatives and friends have died, and they have a deep-seated hatred for big monsters and evil spirits.

This trip to the west can not only take revenge, but also rescue the people who are struggling to survive in the area. The morale of the officers and men is high and their military morale is available!

Of course, this process was not easy, and Qin's losses were also huge.

After tens of thousands of years of Western expeditions, the Qin State made its first achievements, expanding its territory by millions of miles, and its population increased ten to twenty times!

But if you go further west, it is unlikely. There is already a demon king at the pinnacle of quasi-sage, sitting in the dangerous mountains and large lakes.

From time to time, demons were raging in Qin's territory, killing people and refining spells and magic weapons.

It is also the top priority of the Qin State to strangle the cruel people who cause rebellion.

Furthermore, the development of the Qin State also attracted the attention of the princes, and the two countries of Jin and Chu could not help but be wary.

Amid internal and external troubles, Qin's national power was naturally unable to increase. To stabilize its vast territory, it had to expend countless energy and fill it with piles of resources.

Without rewards, the enthusiasm of soldiers will not be high.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The princes all have the same attitude towards demons.

But if other countries show signs of becoming stronger, they will also hold back and cause trouble secretly.

The rise of the two kingdoms of Jin and Chu also encountered such challenges, but they just made it through.

However, the two overlords, who had been peaceful for a long time, gradually began to become corrupt, and their national power began to decline.

At the same time, Luoyi, which was still under the control of the Zhou royal family, had a sage.

Known as "Laozi", he wrote the "Tao Te Ching" and was famous all over the world, but he was actually a weak Hunyuan!

After making inquiries from all parties, it became clear that "Lao Tzu" is the reincarnation of the Taoist God!

I was shocked at first, but I quickly regained my composure. Is it strange that the Moral Heavenly Lord has a weak Hunyuan clone?

In the territory of Nanfanbuzhou, there were also many disciples who were born one after another. Confucius once went to Luoyi and asked about Laozi. When he left, he couldn't help but sigh at the mystery of Laozi.

Unlike the princes, the princes were extremely talented and did not need human luck. They relied purely on their personal understanding to improve rapidly and reach the realm of quasi-sages one after another.

You must know that there are only some beings who can be called overlords - not seeking to be the overlord of the world, even a small regional overlord can do it - Fang, with the blessing of human luck, has reached the quasi-saint realm.

Others, mostly Daluo, such as fifth and sixth-level lords of small countries, golden immortals, and mysterious immortals, are all normal.

Only a handful of these monarchs were able to enter the Fire Cloud Cave in the end.

On the other hand, if you wish, you can go to Fire Cloud Cave at any time.

The difference between becoming a quasi-sage by oneself and relying on external forces is definitely huge.

The most obvious example is that human luck is so special, but why are there still many outstanding people who don't want to get involved? The side effects are too serious.

Regardless of the risk of getting lost, improving strength is closely related to national strength.

It is not easy to develop a country on its own. It is complicated and can easily slip into decline.

And after he abdicates, his strength will fall again, and he will no longer be as tyrannical as when he was in power.

In this case, even if human luck can help the king to cross various realms in a short period of time, touch the great Luo, and even become a quasi-sage, there are still few people who are willing to enter the game.

After all, if you become an immortal, you will live forever. You will have plenty of time to slowly understand the great path.

Due to the contention of hundreds of schools of thought, the hegemony of princes, and the destiny of the human race, Nanfangbuzhou declined for thousands of years after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Then it quickly recovered and continued to rise. It was even more powerful than the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties at their peak.
To be continued...
