In the same year, the Song State announced its annexation to the Yan State. (Baidu Search Gives Power Literature x.)

The Song State was not stupid, and saw that the situation on the continent had changed, and the strength of the Yan State was unstoppable.

Even if the Song State is now an ally of the Yan State, if he still can't see the situation clearly, he will be destroyed by the Yan State sooner or later.

There is no such thing as true friendship between countries.

Rather than having a stalemate with the Yan State and finally being destroyed and annexed by the Yan State, it is better to take advantage of the good relationship now and take the initiative to surrender, so that you can still get the same treatment as the Yue State.

Almost at the same time, Taixuanzong couldn't sit still, and after the Chess Academy and the White Emperor City, he also broke the rules of Wuliang Mountain and sent troops to the barbarian country to help the barbarian country rebuild the royal court and resist the Yan country.

Now the Yan State has merged the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yue and Song to become a super overlord.

This situation made all the forces of Wuliang Mountain afraid.

Only before ancient times, there was a unified power on the mainland, and at that time, even the major holy places of Wuliang Mountain had to obey the dispatch of the great powers.

The major holy lands of Wuliang Mountain are afraid, if they don't stop it, when the Yan Kingdom completely unifies the Seven Kingdoms and becomes the peerless overlord, then their transcendent status will completely disappear.

Taixuanzong's descent did not make Yan Guo afraid, but accelerated the pace of expansion of Yan Kingdom.

On the mainland, in addition to the seven hegemonic countries, there are actually 100 small countries.

In the past, the seven hegemons restrained each other, and there was no time to pay attention to these small countries, otherwise it would be easy to give other hegemons a handle and a tongue.

The speed of the Yan State was extremely fast, and before the other forces could react, it annexed more than thirty of the small states, which was equivalent to more than thirty more large states.

In this expansion campaign, there was something that was famous all over the world, and that was the gunpowder that was presented to Ning Qingyu by the Nebula Gate.

It was with gunpowder that the army of Yan was able to withstand the siege of the four countries at the beginning, and later it was able to break through the defenses of various countries so quickly.

However, at this time, the other forces of Wuliang Mountain also came to their senses, and did not let the Yan Kingdom continue to expand, and they were born one after another.

There were more than sixty small countries left, and behind each small country there was a holy land or giant support, which also made the expansion of the Yan Kingdom unable to continue, but could only be stopped.

However, since then, the stability of Wuliang Mountain and the rest of the mainland has also been completely broken.

The rule that Wuliangshan had made with the Seven Kingdoms not to meddle in the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms was already a null and void.

After the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms, all the voices against Ning Qingyu in the Yan Kingdom also disappeared completely.

Ning Qingyu's methods and talents have already terrified those opponents.

A woman, who completed the hegemony that countless kings could not complete after the ancient times, annexed the Three Kingdoms and merged the Four Kingdoms into one.

Moreover, if it weren't for the intervention of the demons and the forces of Wuliang Mountain, I'm afraid that Ning Qingyu would really want to dominate the Lingwu Continent.

In the first year after the end of the Seven Kingdoms War, Ning Qingyu adopted the advice of Song Xu and others to create the Central Emperor system.

He no longer calls himself a king, but embraces all rivers, is compatible with the cultures of all countries and ethnic groups, and adopts the "emperor" of the ancient leader and the "emperor" of the supreme realm of the warrior to constitute the title of "emperor".

Since then, she has become the first female monarch in the history of the continent, and the first emperor in the history of the Lingwu Continent, and has been called the first emperor.

Later, she synthesized her own and Song Xu's suggestions to abolish Taifu and Taishi and implement the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries to manage national affairs.

and built roads to connect the whole territory of Yan Kingdom; persuade farmers to mulberry, thin endowment; Guangyan Road, Du Slander; Stop expanding and recuperate.

In addition, the first to establish the imperial examination system, martial artists can rely on their strength to participate in the imperial examination, changed the previous recommendation system, reused the cold door, and broke the monopoly of the family gate lord.

Standardize the calendar, take the first first month after the unification of the four countries as the first month of the first year of the dragon, set the national flag as the five-clawed dragon flag, and set the dragon as the national beast.

The implementation of the hukou system, every Yanguo citizen, need to be registered, included in the hukou system, in order to count the number of people, and every Yanguo citizen, need to have an ID card.

This policy was met with great resistance at first, especially the people of the former Zhao State, Song State and Yue State, who thought that this was a restriction on personal freedom and was overbearing. The opposition was so loud that Ning Qingyu and Lin Mu did not expect.

Later, it was Song Xu who proposed a way, saying that this was actually to prevent the infiltration of demons.

This method was extremely effective, as soon as it was mentioned that it was to prevent the demon, all opposition voices disappeared, and the trauma caused by the demon to the living beings on the continent was too great.

But only Ning Qingyu, Song Xu and others knew that there were many suggestions in it, such as the title of the emperor, the Shenlong Banner, the construction of roads to connect the whole country, the imperial examination system and the household registration system, all of which were ideas put forward by Lin Mu.

For Lin Mu's idea, Ning Qingyu almost adopted it entirely.

However, Lin Mu's thoughts were not actually come up with by him, but learned from the stories of Shen Beiwei relayed by Li Ruoyu.

He thought these ideas were very good, so he told Ning Qingyu.

And there is another secret, the world does not know, the first day of the first month of the first year of Shenlong happened to be Lin Mu's birthday, and on this day of this year, Lin Mu was eighteen years old.

It can be said that the Shenlong Flag and the Shenlong Calendar are Ning Qingyu's birthday gifts to Lin Mu, because Lin Mu's favorite is the dragon.

"Four years have passed since the day I fell into the Meteorite Lake and got the Immortal Slashing Flying Knife."

Lin Mu was in the imperial study of Yan Kingdom, reading the martial arts books collected by the Yan Kingdom Emperor over the years.

After reading another book, he suddenly sighed.

Four years ago, King Yan was still out of reach for him, a god-like existence.

He still clearly remembers that in the Taiwu Mountains at that time, he was shocked to see the battle scene of Ning Qingyu and Ye Qianche.

Now, King Yan has been killed, Concubine Ning has become his "Sister Ning", and his own cultivation has also been promoted to the peak of Wuzun in the nearly one-year campaign.

For a while, he actually gave birth to a feeling of loneliness in life and a blank future.

"The most important thing in martial arts cultivation is to be determined, but now, my mind is shaken, this is a sign that the catastrophe is coming?"

Lin Mu quickly woke up.

He is no longer a rookie who has just entered the martial arts, in the eyes of countless people in the Lingwu Continent, he is already a supreme-level figure, and his knowledge has long been different.

With this in mind, he quickly realized that it might not be long before he faced a catastrophe.

Once he started the tribulation, it also meant that he had stepped into the realm of the Martial Saint.

However, instead of joy in his heart, his face was solemn.

"The timing is not good."

If it is a peaceful era, it will naturally be a good thing to become a martial saint.

But now, the demons are rampant, and the major forces of the Infinite Mountain are out of the mountain, and once he starts to cross the tribulation, he will fall into weakness, and it will be easy for people to catch the flaws at that time.

"Hey, no matter, the matter of the catastrophe is beyond the control of human beings, no one knows when the catastrophe will come, so they can only go with the flow and take one step at a time."

If you can see the prediction and control, then it is not a catastrophe.

"It's time to subdue those two demons on the Divine Song Continent."

Lin Mu is no longer entangled in the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation, the most important thing in martial arts cultivation is the state of mind, and he cannot be excessively disturbed by external objects, including the Heavenly Tribulation, otherwise it will become a heart knot, which will be even more serious.
