24. A new era
According to the instructions of the god, Li Bo rewrapped the swaddling clothes, and then, injected a divine power into the swaddling clothes, so that all the blood was removed from the swaddling clothes. As for the blood on the child's body, it was not cleaned up, after all, the blood still had a relatively strong breath of life. When all this was done, the Divine Lord and the six God Kings took the child back to the Xizhi Continent using the fragments of the large array on this island. Then, he flew directly to the palace where the god was located.
About two months after this incident, the god suddenly issued an edict to the world, saying that when he was deducing and comprehending the power of the origin of the world, he had discovered that there was a secret hidden in the sea of Sivir to become the king of the world, and that whoever found that secret would surely be able to achieve immortal deeds. If someone else were to say this, then people would think that this person is crazy, but the person who said this is the supreme god of the whole world, and no one doubts it. With this trust, countless strong people have poured into the Sivir Sea. In this process, many people were blinded by the word "king of the world", and they did not consider their own strength, and soon after entering the Sivir Sea, they either directly became the food of some creatures in the ocean, or were slapped to death by some adventurers. The dream of the king of the world has not yet begun, but it has directly become a ghost of hell. In view of the fact that these ignorant people had suffered too many casualties, the great god kings could not bear it, so they directly issued an edict to several empires in the world, demanding that strength testing institutions be set up in each port of the sea, and that all adventurers who had not reached the semi-saint level would not be allowed to enter the Sivir Sea. Since then, people have vaguely begun to understand a truth, the Sivir Sea is the world of the strong, if it is not a strong one, it is better not to enter the Sivir Sea, because the starting standard of the "King of the World" is that the strength must reach the semi-saint level.
Although because of the words of the god lord, the Xizhi Continent and the northern continent called the Sea of Miracles also began to enter the Age of Exploration one after another, but what is strange is that the god lord and several god kings did not enter that ocean, and what is even more strange is that a god-level powerhouse suddenly appeared on every island of this ocean. It's just that not many people know about these strange things.
The "King of the World" is like a whirlwind, carrying infinite magic to sweep the whole world, and the whole world is boiling because of it, some people say that this is an age of sailing, but some people say that it is an era of adventurers. But no matter what you say, this era belongs to the Sivir Sea, to every island in the Sivir Sea, to every strong man who roams the ocean.
There is a city, which is not magnificent, and it has neither the mansions nor the imposing imposing of other big cities. But it is more prosperous than other cities, a kind of simple prosperity. Some people say that prosperity is always accompanied by drunken money, ostentatious mansions, unbridled girls, etc., but to everyone's surprise, there are no such situations here, and perhaps because of this, the city is called simple and prosperous. But it is such a city that is not magnificent, but it reveals a different kind of prosperity, but it has a particularly great name: Xizhi. A city named after the continent. The reason why this city is called Xizhi is actually very simple, this city was the imperial capital of the Xizhi Empire. Twenty-nine thousand years ago, a genius appeared in the royal family of the Xizhi Empire, who not only changed the weak situation of the empire in a short period of time with his own strength, but also spent just twenty years to unify the entire southern continent in one fell swoop, and later this continent was directly named after Xizhi. However, for some reason, just five years after he unified the entire continent, the god lord suddenly visited, one was the king of the southern continent, and the other was the god lord, and after two days and one night of talking, the god lord left. And a month later, the Lord suddenly disappeared. People say that the country cannot be without a king for a day, but how can the tiger father have a dog, the five sons of the Ming lord have launched an endless campaign for the lord of the continent, but after nearly ten years of fighting, the result is that the forces of all parties are holding each other. In order to put an end to this chaotic situation, the God King Wei Lei visited these princes one by one after inviting a large number of god-level powerhouses, and finally reached an agreement, and the parties ceased war and formed an empire each. However, the matter is not over here, these five characters who have just become emperors of a country from princes want to use the imperial capital of the year as their imperial capital. The reason is actually very simple, they all want to use this imperial capital to show the world their legitimacy, or rather, he is the real lord of the continent. These five emperors have all seen through this layer, and as a result, for the sake of this city, all parties almost have to fight again. Seeing that the world was about to fall into war again, the god king Wei Lei and some god-level powerhouses approached them this time, and after holding a six-party meeting, the last five emperors reached an agreement, deciding that this place should be a neutral place, and that neither side could make this the imperial capital, and at the same time, in memory of their father, it was decided to name the city Xizhi. In addition, all parties also made a hard rule: no empire can spread the flames of war to Xizhi City, otherwise the other parties will fight together. This rule effectively ensures that the city can be preserved in its entirety for a long time to come. Because of its history, the city has been thriving for a long time. However, the simple character of the city comes from another strange agreement reached by the five empires, which stipulates that in addition to the ordinary people of Xizhi City, all the wealthy people must move out of the city, and those who do not leave will face the fate of extinction, and the outsiders must be famous scholars, artists, Only martial artists or students with certificates of study issued by the empires can enter the city, and other uninvited people will be designated as illegal immigrants, and not only will they face the fate of being wanted in Xizhi City, even if he finally leaves Xizhi City, the other empires will continue to be wanted until they have received the punishment they deserve, but even if such illegal immigrants accept the due punishment, they will never be allowed to set foot in Xizhi City in the future. But it was also because of this strange agreement that the city had another name: the City of Academics. For such a city with a special status, the selection of managers must be a very prudent matter, and it also involves the distribution of interests of all parties in the empire. And every time the city manager chooses, of course, it becomes the best stage for several empires to show their strength. In fact, the competition between empires is everywhere, and the war military is the direct embodiment of national competition, showing the hard power of a country, and this level is showing the soft power of a country. After all, the city's managers are chosen to select outstanding people from various fields to manage. For example, outstanding people at the academic level, outstanding people in martial arts, etc., and these belong to the soft power of the country to a large extent. In terms of the choice of urban management mode, it is not the general form of city lord management that is chosen, but the form of parliament. The members of the council are chosen to be among the more prominent members of the city. However, since the city only issues residence permits for a certain number of years, and of course the indigenous residents are not included in this range, each foreign resident has their own nationality, so this nationality has become a direct criterion for their country's strength here. Originally, Xizhi City implied the meaning of the lord of the Xizhi continent, so if the personnel of a certain country occupied a majority of seats in the management of the city, then the monarch of that country would always enjoy a special honor, as if to show that he was the potential lord of the continent. For kings, ordinary wealth has no meaning to them, but this glory has a special allure. Therefore, the emperors of various empires have always spared no effort to encourage and support outstanding people in various fields to enter Xizhi City, in order to win that unique glory. But there's something special about it. Among the managers of Xizhi City, there is a special existence, this special existence is a family, but this family is not located in this city, but every time the council members are changed, this family will always send two people to this city to hold important positions, without going through layers of selection. Although some people felt particularly strange about this special existence, when these people understood the particularity of this family, they stopped talking.
Such a city, because of the gathering of the top elites from various countries, therefore, the various colleges in this city have become the top colleges in the entire continent. While several empires had imperial academies, most of those were for the nobility of the empire. There was once a relatively ignorant nobleman, thinking that as long as he had money, he could send his children to a certain academy in Xizhi City, but as a result, the wealth was spent a lot, and when he finally came into contact with a teacher in this academy, the other party only threw him a sentence coldly: "The crown prince of your empire is not up to par in terms of character and other aspects, we still don't accept it, just your son, don't even think about it." "This nobleman's son is a little unscrupulous, but he is also a little talented, but because of a sentence from a certain academy teacher in Xizhi City, his son has since been equated with gentleness and ignorance, not only becoming the laughing stock of the nobles, but also becoming the negative material for other nobles to teach their own children. In the end, the nobleman had to move his family to another place for the sake of his son, and to make amends for his stupidity, in order to avoid the endless taunts of the nobles. However, after this incident, the nobles of various countries also understood a truth, if their children are not good enough, they should not rely on other means to enter some academies in Xizhi City, or stay in the Imperial Royal Academy honestly, and it is better to divide the degree of gold. Of course, if you think your child is good enough, then you will be assessed according to the rules set by those colleges.
It's a pity that even Xizhi City, which has such a special status, has also been hit to a certain extent in this new era. These shocks were mainly focused on the martial arts of the city, after all, the basic requirement for entering the Xiwei Sea's personal strength was to require it to reach the semi-saint level. And the martial artists in Xizhi City are almost all above the half-saint level, and as a result, most of the martial artists in this city have entered that sea area. However, many of these martial artists are calling for the country, and some of them are stepping on that sea in order to pursue the realm of martial arts, after all, there will be countless strong people in that sea because of the temptation of the "king of the world". Of course, there are some people who have not left Hee Chi City, because they either think that the "King of the World" is too far away from them, or they think that the "King of the World" has nothing to do with them. Either way, the new era has had a profound impact on the world.
