In the early spring of the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, the four major cults successively announced the establishment of a holy state, shocking the world.

The White Lotus of Mengyuan, the Heavenly Principle of Jin Liao, the Red Sun of the Western Regions, and the Smell of the Western Fan, among which the White Lotus Holy Kingdom is the strongest, occupying almost one-third of the territory of the Mengyuan Empire, and encroaching on part of the border of the Tang, Ming, and Liao Kingdoms, and the territory of the remaining three holy kingdoms is also similar to that of Jin Liao.

For many years, except for the small countries in the Western Regions and the continuous change of regime, the number and territory of other countries have basically remained constant, and the national Zuo is almost the same as that of the three countries of China, and there has been no new country for a long time.

In the name of the Holy Country, the four major cults wantonly occupied the buffer zone between the countries, cut four new countries from the original countries, and vigorously promoted the **** governance method, which greatly violated the interests of the original empires in Dongshengzhou, weakened the strength of the empires, and hit the ruling strata of various countries.

Originally, when the four major cults rebelled in the Three Kingdoms of China, all countries outside the region secretly supported the four major cults in their war with the Tang, Ming, and Song dynasties, so as to contain the energy of the three kingdoms and weaken the national strength of the three kingdoms.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he was burned to the ground, the four evil spirits turned into the four saints, and the poison of the four holy kingdoms to the foreign countries even exceeded the harm to the three kingdoms of China.

The Four Holy Kingdoms have extreme ideas and cruel methods, and the teachings of the four religions are similar, and they help each other and form a brotherly alliance, also known as the "Four Holy Alliance".

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the four countries were founded on the dissemination of doctrines, and immediately after the founding of the country, they launched holy wars regardless of the agricultural season, and frequently attacked and harassed the surrounding countries, making the surrounding people miserable and miserable.

The Three Kingdoms of China and the countries outside the region had to temporarily put aside their grievances and go all out to deal with the attack of the Four Holy Alliances.

In the autumn of the fourth year of the Heavenly Sage, all the foreign countries met in Mengyuan to discuss the matter of resisting the Four Holy Alliance.

Yun Ding, the dean of the Taiyi Academy of the Song Dynasty, went to the capital of Mengyuan in person and was treated like a national teacher, and Dean Yun actually gave a speech in six languages commonly used by foreign countries at the conference of the alliance, exposing the reasons for the emergence of the Four Holy Alliances, the background, and the huge conspiracy hidden behind them.

The four major cults have a long history and have been repeatedly banned, and in any era in history when disasters are frequent, the four major cults will take advantage of the opportunity to rise, but because their doctrine of destroying their families and abandoning their relatives is not accepted by the majority of the people, it is very difficult for them to gain lasting and stable support.

However, this time it is different, the four major cults have rebelled in a normal and prosperous year, and they have developed to the current scale, which deserves the attention of all those in power.

This time, the four major cults have made a comeback, paying more attention to the spread of eschatology, propagating the concept of rebirth in the last days, and preaching that only by believing in the holy religion in the last days can we avoid disasters and protect our families, and even if they die in the face of force majeure, they will become gods and Buddhas, and they will have the opportunity to be reborn in the world at the end of the doomsday in the future.

This set of rhetoric is more attractive, so it attracts a large number of believers.

In addition, in recent years, the number of natural disasters in Dongshengzhou has gradually increased, the climate has become colder in winter, and the number of believers in foreign countries has grown explosively, while the three kingdoms of China have been well governed, the people are rich, and the development of believers has been slow, so it is not surprising that the four major cults have shifted their bases outside the territory.

However, even so, the four major cults should not have such great strength to conquer cities and territories, establish a state and become kings, and still stand firm under the encirclement and suppression of other countries.

After several years of investigation, the Taiyi Academy finally discovered the secret, the four major cults are supported by a terrifying force, which is a power from under the dark clouds of the north.

Speaking of the northern clouds, most of the kings and lords attending the meeting were not clear, their countries did not have a complete historiography system of the Three Kingdoms of China, and most of the princes and nobles were not clear about the history as far as 10,000 years ago or 100,000 years ago, while those who accompanied the alliance were shocked.

The teaching of the northern clouds has always been recorded in the native sects of the Western Regions such as Shamanism, Bon, and Tianfang, and is regarded as an apocalyptic disaster, but because of the long interval between each time, many people think that it is a myth and legend, and only a few people know what the real northern clouds are.

The great witches and masters of the original sects of these countries have extremely high prestige in the country, especially after the four major cults have caused trouble in various countries, their status has become more transcendent, and their influence on national policies and political situations has been greater.

It was only under the explanations of their respective great witches and gurus that the kings of all countries realized the seriousness of the incident, and they all expressed their willingness to listen to Dean Yun's guidance.

The three thousand worlds and the one hundred thousand small worlds have been running in the universe along different trajectories, and the orbits of the human realm and the celestial realm are similar, and they have been running in parallel along similar parallel orbits, so the two worlds of heaven and man have always been able to maintain continuity.

The orbit of the underworld is different from the two worlds of heaven and man, it will approach once every 100,000 years, and the remnants of the nine netherworld clans affected by the underworld will awaken and multiply, and try to conquer the two worlds.

The Nine Netherworld are from the underworld, they are the necromancers of the other world, and the beings of the heavenly and human realms are naturally opposed, and the beings of the underworld are in order to destroy the living souls and transform the army of necromancy, and wantonly create killings in the living soul world, so as to obtain corpses and soul primordial embryos that can be transformed, and then refine them with secret methods to form an army of the underworld.

The corpses of living beings can be refined into all kinds of zombies and rotting corpses that do not die and are fearless, and the captured souls can be refined into murderous and tyrannical souls, which are collectively called Hades Soul Masters.

Therefore, in this big war with the Hades, in addition to eliminating the Soul Master of the Hades, it is also necessary to minimize the number of deaths of the Terrans, otherwise every dead Terran may become a new member of the Hades.

And the Four Holy Kingdoms are likely to be the forces secretly controlled by the Hades, causing a large number of casualties through rebellions and conquests, and the corpses and geistins produced can quickly expand the number of Soul Divisions of the Hades Army, and when they accumulate enough troops, they will wave their troops south.

The kings, advisors, and gurus of the foreign kingdoms trembled when they heard this, for them it was a terrible thing for their bodies and souls to be controlled by the underworld, even more terrible than death.

The nations immediately swept away their previous arrogance and vigilance, and sincerely asked Dean Yun for advice.

Yunding said that if you don't want to lose the country and the species, there are currently five strategies:

First, the countries of Dongshengzhou formed an alliance, watched and helped each other, had no selfish intentions, and went all out to resist the enemy;

the second is to actively prepare for war and mobilize all domestic forces to prepare for the Great War of Nine Shadows, which occurs once in 100,000 years;

The third is to make every effort to exterminate the four holy kingdoms, so as to prevent the four countries from opening up channels to connect their territories, which will block the connection between the three kingdoms of China and the foreign countries, and the isolated foreign countries will be easily wiped out by the underworld in advance;

Fourth, countries have changed their funeral habits, all in the form of cremation, whether they die in battle or natural death, the corpse must be disposed of to avoid becoming a rotting zombie, and at the same time, the undead are exceeded, so as to avoid the spirit from becoming a soul;

Fifth, abandon prejudices, let go of selfishness, and have the determination not to stop until the underworld is wiped out.

Only by doing these five points can the Terrans have the possibility of winning the battle of the Nine Shades.

These five points are easy to say, but difficult to do, not to mention anything else, it seems that the simplest changes in funeral habits are extremely difficult to implement, let alone the others.

Among the kings, advisors, and gurus, the first to express their support for the clouds were the religious gurus.

The emergence of the four major cults has had a great impact on the original religions, causing them to lose many followers and causing their status to decline, so they must stand up and defend the status of their own sects.

And Yun Ding's proposal to exceedite every undead spirit is very much in line with the needs of religion at this stage, and it is a good opportunity for them to regain control of the people's hearts.

When the opportunity arrived, these lamas who appeared to have no desire but wanted to promote their sect immediately felt a sense of urgency, and no one could prevent them from returning to the political forefront.

Later, the advisors echoed the advice of the gurus, who were the most judgmental of the situation, and when the interests of the king and the interests of the state conflicted, many would choose the interests of the state, provided that their own interests were protected.

The most difficult decision to make is the kings of various countries, once this great alliance is established, they will undoubtedly lose a lot of power, and they will lose countless money and people in a big war, if there is no money and people, how can they enjoy the pleasure of power and a drunken life.

Gradually, an awkward atmosphere appeared in the venue, and the choices and interests of the king, his advisers, and the teachers were not uniform, which could easily lead to a lot of domestic wars and even a change of dynasty.

It's something like this happening at this time that everyone doesn't want to see.

The Mengyuan Empire is the most powerful empire among the foreign countries, and at the same time borders the three holy kingdoms of White Lotus, Tianli and Hongyang, and is the empire with the greatest loss in this cult state, so Mengyuan's attitude will directly affect the choices of other countries.

The current king of Mengyuan, Tuo Muba, is also a generation of male lords, is a rare cultivator among the kings of Mengyuan in the past dynasties, has been in charge of the country for 600 years, and usually compares himself with the monarchs of the three kingdoms of China, in order to coerce foreign countries, as if he is the head of all countries.

This time, the Mengyuan Empire, which suffered the most serious losses from the Four Evil Founding Countries, although its strength is still the first among all countries, it no longer has the absolute advantage it had before, and many big countries in this alliance want to see Tuomuba's jokes.

Tuomba is also relatively low-key this time, from the beginning of the meeting to the present, he has not spoken a word, just silently drinking or listening to others' speeches.

At this moment, after listening to Yun Ding's suggestion, Tuo Muba actually spoke: "Dean Yun, about the matter of the northern clouds, it is also recorded in the classics of Meng Yuan, it is indeed terrifying and abnormal, every time the Dongshengzhou human race and other creatures join forces to barely win, but it is difficult to do the whole thing, which is caused by our internal disunity."

This time, our extraterritorial countries will definitely form an alliance with the Three Kingdoms of Huaxia, but how can Dean Yun guarantee that the Three Kingdoms of Huaxia will not count our extraterritorial countries afterwards. ”

As soon as Tuo Mupa's remarks came out, he immediately aroused strong reactions from countries outside the region.

"The Huaxia people are extremely cunning, and we don't trust you. ”

"Every time the Great War of the Nine Shadows is a war in which the foreign countries pay a lot of casualties, and the Three Kingdoms of China sit back and enjoy the success!"

"Yes, you occupy the land of abundance, but you want us to be cannon fodder. ”

“......”

All of a sudden, the representatives of various countries were filled with resentment, as if the natural and man-made disasters in the countries outside the region in recent years were caused by the three countries of China.

Yun Ding smiled slightly and did not answer, the alliance has been successful by this time, and these people who are clamoring for opposition are nothing more than wanting to get more support from the three countries of China after the alliance, so they pretend to be not enthusiastic about forming an alliance, in exchange for the initiative in negotiations later.

Tuomba did not stop the people from choking, and only after the opposition weakened did Tuomapa say:

"Dean Yun can also see that the foreign countries lack trust in the Three Kingdoms of Huaxia, so you must show enough sincerity before we can conclude an alliance.

Otherwise, when Jiuyou goes south, we will not be able to resist, and we will have to flee to the territory of the Three Kingdoms of China. ”
