After the empire unified the southern border of the Lingzhou Continent, the entire Tiansheng Empire, under the leadership of the royal family of the Tiansheng clan and with the assistance of the Zijin Pavilion and the Tianyu Sect, worked hard, and the development of the entire empire became more and more prosperous.

The only regret is that the Heavenly Saint Clan has never forgotten the entrustment of their ancestors, and wants to find a way to return to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the Lingzhou Continent. From the beginning of the establishment of the empire, to the unification of the southern border of the Lingzhou continent by the empire, to the entry of the empire into the "era of peace", the empire secretly sent a number of expeditions composed of the core personnel of the Tiansheng clan every year to the "Northern Cold Land" in the north, the "Cold Snow Mountain Range" and "Black Forest" in the east, and the "Kunlun Mountain Range" in the west , the southernmost boundless sea frontier to search, but after decades, the team has also been sent for dozens of generations, and there is still no result, especially many people sent out have not returned, and every news seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

In the end, even the clansmen of the Heavenly Saint Clan, especially those who had passed hundreds of years, were a little suspicious of the fact that they were the descendants of the Heavenly Gods, and they were even a little afraid that they would be selected to find the Immortal Ancestral Land.

However, even at such a great cost, the imperial family and the successive patriarchs of the Heavenly Saint Clan still insisted on it, and regarded this as the "clan mission" of the Heavenly Saint Clan. As a result, expeditions are still being sent every year at any cost, just for the hope of the so-called existence.

At the same time, the effect of the "Heavenly Wrath Curse", which had long been forgotten, was gradually revealed, and the result was that the Tiansheng Empire and the Tiansheng clan had fallen into decline, and the most obvious manifestation was that the population of the Tiansheng clan had decreased off a cliff.

In fact, according to common sense, the Heavenly Saint clan is the royal family of the empire, and they control all the resources of the empire, so the clan should grow stronger and stronger. But I don't know if it's because of the continuous expeditions that sent out the core force, or if it was really due to the effect of the "Heavenly Fury Curse", more than a hundred years later, the people of the Heavenly Saint Clan are withering away day by day, and there are fewer and fewer people, even less than some ordinary clans, and even less than the Tianyu Sect and the Purple Gold Pavilion.

This situation is most affected by the "Heavenly Saint Legion", which the empire is proud of and maintains the stability of the empire.

In the past, the Heavenly Saint Legion was based on the most powerful Heavenly Saint clan, and later joined the Zijin Clan and the Tianyu Clan, and finally after the unification of the empire, they joined the clansmen of other tribes. Although the composition of the soldiers is relatively complex, because the leaders of the legion at all levels are all served by the core members of the Heavenly Saint Clan, and the Heavenly Saint Clan has a natural combat advantage, the Heavenly Saint Army has basically maintained stability at the beginning, especially the fourteen Heavenly Saint Corps that are stationed in the Fourteen Prefectures and Yingzhou Island by the branches of the Heavenly Saint Army, and can still maintain stability throughout the empire.

However, this situation was eventually broken.

As time passed, the core members of the Heavenly Saint Clan became fewer and fewer, but the royal family and clan patriarchs still sent a steady stream of expeditions to the four corners of the empire. Since the clan no longer has a suitable clan available, in the end, there is no choice but to "draw people" from the Heavenly Saint Legion. This has caused a large decrease in the number of officers of the Heavenly Saint Clan in the Heavenly Saint Legion, especially in the Heavenly Saint Legion in the Fourteen Prefectures, and even there is no one from the Heavenly Saint Clan in many teams as the person in charge.

At the same time, on the other hand, because the empire's project to find and return to the heavenly immortal realm consumed too much manpower, material resources, and financial resources, the empire had to continue to increase the taxes of various states, which also indirectly caused chaos in the empire.

A great storm is coming, and the "era of chaos" of the empire has arrived.

The first to start the rebellion was the Linzhou region on the edge of the southern land of the empire, far away from the Heavenly Sage Great Plain and the imperial capital, where the Wanfeng tribe was already martial, and it was also a powerful tribe in the southern region of the empire. The Wanfeng tribe defeated the Celestial Saint Legion stationed in the Linzhou Domain, and captured the capital of the Linzhou Domain, "Linzhou", disbanded the local state capital of the Empire, incorporated all the local towns and populations into their jurisdiction, and established their own sect "Wanfeng Forest". After the establishment of the sect, Wan Fenglin's strength increased greatly, and he continued to march north, defeating the garrison stationed in the north, and according to the same pattern, he occupied the Suizhou domain north of the Linzhou domain, and became a big force occupying the two major states.

The other tribes that originally had a "wait-and-see" attitude towards the rebellion in Linzhou City found that the rebellion of the Wanfeng tribe was not vigorously suppressed by the imperial family, but instead won the victory and achieved a huge gain in the two major states.

The major tribes of the empire that had originally shrunk under the coercion of the Heavenly Saint clan "jumped" out, and they swept through the entire southern and western parts of the empire like wildfire according to the pattern of the Wanfeng clan. In the end, they defeated the local Heavenly Saint Legion in their dominant state, disbanded the state capital, took over all the towns and populations in the state, and established their own sects one after another. They are the Shenyu Sect that occupies the Bozhou domain in the south, the Tiejianmen that occupies the Luzhou domain in the south, the Huazong that occupies the Shengzhou domain in the west, the Linggu that occupies the Tengzhou domain in the west, and the Antarctic Sect that occupies Yingzhou Island and the South China Sea.

The same thing happened in the northern part of the Empire, especially the area north of the Heavenly Sage Great Plains, which was originally the foundation of the Tiansheng Empire.

Since the location of the Tianyu Sect is located at the junction of the three major states of Yingzhou, Dingzhou, and Yunzhou, the tribal rebellion of these three states was quelled by the Tianyu Sect, and after the rebellion, the Tianyu Sect occupied these three states. At the same time, since Wanfeng Lin, the most powerful in the south, had occupied the Suizhou domain on the southern border of the Tiansheng Great Plain, the southern barrier of the Tiansheng Great Plain, the Jingzhou Domain, was in danger, and at the behest of the imperial family, the Tianyu Sect sent troops to the Jingzhou Domain, and while quelling the rebellion in the Prefecture, the Jingzhou Domain was also included in the jurisdiction of the Tianyu Sect.

The Tianyu Sect suddenly monopolized the four major states of the empire, and properly became the largest force in the empire.

As the rebellion swept across the country, especially the Zhongzhou region, which is at the core of the Heavenly Sage Great Plain, is the richest, most urban, and most populous state in the empire, but the barrier state of the imperial capital, in the face of the rebellion in the Zhongzhou region, the empire has no army available, and the royal family has to ask for help in the Purple Gold Pavilion outside the imperial capital. The Purple Pavilion entered the Zhongzhou Domain as the "Guardian of the Empire" and incorporated the Zhongzhou Domain into its jurisdiction. In addition, the most important point is that the Purple Pavilion has given full play to its geographical advantages, and with the help of the fact that the Purple Mountain is located on the outskirts of the imperial capital, the imperial capital has also been included in its own sphere of influence in one fell swoop, and the defenders of the imperial capital and the imperial forest army of the imperial palace have all been replaced by the power of the Purple Golden Pavilion, and the entire imperial capital is only a palace left to the royal family of the Tiansheng clan.

Since the imperial family of the empire had exhausted itself to protect itself, the two major states in the north of the empire, the Xianzhou Domain and the Yanzhou Domain, were finally acquired by the local Wuji tribe, and the sect was designated as the "Wuji Gate".

And after the war began, I saw that I was powerless to return to the sky, especially with the shackles of "the wrath of the gods" pressing on the hearts of the clansmen. For the sake of the clan bloodline, under the leadership of the patriarch, the people of the Tianshen clan left the imperial capital and returned to the east to the "Cold Snow Mountains" where the ancestors of the clan were exiled by the gods of heaven, leaving only the royal bloodline to continue to be inherited in the imperial capital, symbolically indicating that the entire Tiansheng Empire still belongs to the Tiansheng clan.
