Prologue
The Xiachuan Continent gradually declined after the Xia Dynasty ruled for nearly 1,200 years after the peaceful and prosperous era, its thirty-seventh monarch Lingguang Emperor had a violent temperament, cruelty and inhumanity, and liked to torture people.
The tyranny of Emperor Lingguang caused the people of the Xia Dynasty to dare not speak out, which made the people panic, and after a long time, the people's hearts naturally dispersed.
It is rumored that Emperor Lingguang sought the elixir of immortality, and when Lingguang was fifteen years old, the palace of the Xia Dynasty had gathered nearly two hundred Taoist priests to refine the elixir for Emperor Lingguang.
In the winter of the eighteenth year of Ling Guang, Emperor Ling Guang died suddenly, and it was rumored that the cause of his death was caused by taking too many pills.
In the same year, Xia Xingshu, the second son of Emperor Lingguang, succeeded to the 38th throne of the Xia Dynasty, changed his name to Jingyuan, and was later honored as Emperor Jingyuan.
Emperor Jingyuan Xiwen, after ascending the throne, abolished Emperor Lingguang's policy of violent governance and implemented benevolent government, hoping to save the declining Xia dynasty.
It's a pity, it backfired, in the second year after Emperor Jingyuan ascended the throne, disasters continued to occur in various parts of the Xiachuan Continent, earthquakes, floods, droughts, and snow disasters followed, and Emperor Lingguang spent nearly eighty percent of the treasury in order to cultivate the elixir.
The people were suffering, the number of casualties in the disaster area increased exponentially, the world was in chaos, and the Xiachuan continent at that time was like a hell of Abi.
In the spring of the fifth year of Jingyuan, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty apologized for his sins on the upper floor of the imperial city, and with the fall of the supreme ruler of this era, the Xia Dynasty completely collapsed.
Then the forces that had already risen up began to plunder the territory more rampantly, according to statistics, at the beginning of a total of ten forces wanted to dominate in the troubled times, after five years of war, the Xiachuan continent was finally divided by Qian, Mo, Yuwen, Wu, and successively established Dongyue, Western Tang, Northern Desert, and Southern Xinjiang.
In the early days of the founding of the country, the four kingdoms were unstable, and the four monarchs all chose to live in peace in order to settle down.
After the country has stabilized a little, and then look at the situation, no country is a force that can be easily destroyed.
As a result, all countries are concentrating on developing their own economies, improving people's livelihood, strengthening their national strength, and establishing diplomatic relations with other countries.
After development, Dongyue and the Western Tang Dynasty comprehensive national strength is comparable, the Northern Desert is poor in food and other aspects due to the barren land, but its military strength is not lower than that of Dongyue, the Western Tang Dynasty, the Southern Xinjiang because it is in the tropics, the jungle is luxuriant, there are many snakes and insects, and the people of Southern Xinjiang are good at witchcraft, so that the other three countries are afraid.
Now that the four countries have been established for more than 200 years, the seemingly stable situation of each country is actually full of moths.
Among the countries, except for southern Xinjiang, the other three countries have long been ambitious, and the belief in unifying Xia Chuan is getting stronger and stronger, but they are afraid and dare not make rash moves.
In this situation, will the Xia Chuan Continent continue to maintain the balance of mutual quality among the four countries, or will someone take the lead in breaking this balance and causing a battle?
