Chapter 12: Rebellion

In the 97th year after Yuan Hao fell asleep, the first city on the Tianyuan Continent was born.

The city was built by the Terrans, and its location is the narrowest of the gaps in the southern breaches of the Origin Mountains.

The main reason why the Terrans built this city was to deal with the possible attack of the Orcs in the future.

More than ten years ago, due to the increasingly fierce competition for various resources, the orcs and the terrans had several small conflicts in the gap in the southern part of the Origin Mountains.

Later, the Terran hierarchy issued a ban on the rising merchants within the tribe, prohibiting them from selling important goods such as iron tools and food to the orcs.

The prosperity of commerce is mainly due to the appearance of a kind of object.

More than ten years ago, because the aura of heaven and earth was too strong, some crystals produced after the aura was highly condensed slowly formed underground, and these crystals slowly became spiritual stone mines and were excavated by people.

The first to discover the existence of the spirit stone mine were the dwarves who were attached to the human race. Because of the dwarves' talent for ore exploration and excavation, after the human race stored an incomparably large number of spirit stones, other races slowly discovered the existence of spirit stone veins.

After the appearance of the spirit stone, because the spirit stone was incomparably helpful in cultivation, the high-level of various clans slowly regarded the spirit stone as a currency. Because of the convenience of carrying, when trading with various clans, spirit stones are often used for settlement.

After feeling the convenience of trading with spirit stones, the leaders of the various clans wanted to develop a currency that was the same as the spirit stones, which could be used for the daily transactions of the clansmen in ordinary life.

After a period of discussion, the clans traded three primary magical metals, gold, silver, and bronze, which were widely used in the field of magic.

After the massive popularization of money, it became convenient for people of all ethnic groups to trade. Under such circumstances, the profession of merchant began to flourish slowly.

In the last few years, the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy on the Tian Yuan Continent has slowly begun to stagnate.

In the case of more and more strong people, the demand for resources of various races is also increasing, in this context, the friction between the human race and the orc race is increasing, and small-scale conflicts between the two races are also occurring more and more frequently.

Just a few years ago, at a time when relations between orcs and humans were becoming increasingly strained. The strong man of the Terran proposed that in order to deal with the large-scale attack of the Orcs that might come in the future, the Terrans should set up some defensive measures against the Orcs within the southern gap of the Origin Mountain Range.

After much deliberation, the Terran hierarchy decided to build a city, the Bloody Battle.

The city is only divided into two directions, east and west, and the north and south sides of the city are the cliffs of towering cliffs, forming a natural city wall.

The westernmost wall of the Bloody Battle City was located at the narrowest part of the southern gap in the Origin Mountain Range, the wall was only three or four hundred meters wide, but it was more than 200 meters high.

The walls of the Blood War City are made up of huge stones tens of meters in size, which are neatly shaped and of the same size, and are carried from various places by the powerhouses of the human race.

To the west of the Bloody Battle City, there is no place to pass except for the gate in the center. After the walls were built, the Terrans cast them with molten iron, and in addition to that, the walls were covered with barbs.

After the westernmost wall, three identical walls were built in sequence every few hundred meters according to the standards of this wall.

The last three walls were 500 meters, 700 meters, and 1 kilometer wide, respectively, and each wall was followed by a barracks with thousands of Terran warriors stationed inside. In addition, the towers and passages of each city wall are covered with large war weapons made by the dwarven masters.

As for the eastern side of the Bloody Battle City, the Terrans only built an ordinary stone wall that was 10 meters high and nearly 10,000 meters long. Seen from the sky, the whole of Bloody Battle City takes on the shape of a trumpet.

After the establishment of the Bloody Battle City, Shennong, the leader of the Terrans, moved the core of the Terrans from the Terran ancestral land of the Fire Cloud Valley to the newly established city of the Terran Holy City in the center of the Terran territory.

In this relocation, Fu Xi and Nuwa chose to stay and continue to worship the Haotian gods in the Haotian Temple.

In the 101st year after Yuan Hao fell asleep.

The Terrans have built one city after another with various tribes as the core, and now the Terran territory has become full of cities.

In this year, Shennong, the leader of the human race, became the emperor and became the first human emperor. After Shennong became the emperor of the people, he divided the leaders of the various tribes of the human race as the lords of their respective cities.

After Shennong became the Human Emperor, the relationship between the various ethnic groups in the Tian Yuan Continent became more and more tense. Small-scale clashes between various races in private became more and more frequent, but the top leaders of each race still restrained their tribesmen and kept the situation as it was, not continuing to expand.

Time passed slowly, and under the efforts of the high-level leaders of the Tian Yuan Continent, the situation in the Tian Yuan Continent as a whole was still peaceful.

After more than a decade of this eerie peace, something broke the situation.

In the 128th year after Yuan Hao fell asleep, the various sea tribes in the West Sea were dissatisfied with the rule of the sea royal family, and began a long-planned rebellion.

The scale of this rebellion was huge, and the several races that organized this rebellion quietly contacted many sea tribes in private after a long period of secret operations. As soon as this rebellion was launched, more than half of the Sea Clan was swept in.

The merfolk who had been unaware before were caught off guard, and before the merfolk higher-ups could react, they had already suffered heavy casualties.

After the merfolk finally organized a decent defense, most of the merfolk territory had been lost, and more than half of the Western Sea Islands were out of the merfolk control.

After the merfolk organized the sea tribe to join the battle, the war between the merfolk and the rebels began to slowly stalemate.

After that, the merfolk who had slowly stabilized the situation sent a message for help to their allies, the Feather Clan.

After the Feather Clan learned the information, they quickly sent reinforcements to support the Merfolk Clan. After the arrival of reinforcements from the Feather Clan, the balance of victory in the war began to tilt in favor of the Merfolk Clan. Under the combined efforts of the Feather Clan and the Mermaid Clan, the rebels began to suffer more casualties, and they were defeated and retreated.

Seeing that victory was imminent, a huge bad news for the merfolk was born.

The merfolk suffered heavy losses in the war against the rebels, and after this heavy loss, the merfolk were no longer able to recover the West Sea Islands.

With the help of the Yu Clan, the Mermaid Clan was only able to stabilize the situation in front of them.

The Merfolk gave up recovering the fallen archipelago, consolidating the territory they now occupy, and began to confront the many Sea Tribes in the rebel army.
