Time flies like an arrow, and five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

There is a palace.

The palace is surrounded by clear, green pools, while the inner area is planted with various flower petals, their delicate fragrance wafting through the air.

In the very center of the spacious palace stood a magnificent golden throne, upon which were carved a dragon and a phoenix, so lifelike they seemed poised to take flight.

Wu Xiao lay on the throne, her full breasts and curvaceous figure exuding a languid aura.

Unexpectedly, five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

She went home for the Chinese New Year.

After spending about a month with her mother-in-law in the retirement village, she returned to the Great Martial God Dynasty to take charge of the overall situation.

She needs to consider all kinds of definitive suggestions before making a final decision.

Fortunately, she had several capable assistants: the Left Prime Minister Huang Muyu, the Right Prime Minister Shao Siming, the Central Prime Minister Su Xu, and the Imperial Advisor, which could lighten her workload.

The central minister guarded the east, preventing the void from invading Dongsheng's territory.

The Imperial Preceptor, along with the Divine Dynasty and the Immortal Sect, explored the wilderness, aiming to open up new paths.

The Right Chancellor, Shao Siming, conducted sacrificial rites in various vassal states to consolidate the power of the Great Martial Dynasty.

The Left Prime Minister gathers intelligence and reports various information.

She, on the other hand, was stationed in the chaotic and turbulent capital city of the Divine Dynasty—the Divine Capital.

His daily routine consisted of attending court and listening to reports from civil and military officials on various important and minor matters.

After returning from court, I had to deal with the memorials to the emperor.

After finishing his business, he took a short rest on the long throne.

After a short rest, I began my cultivation.

Over the years, she has finally managed to stabilize her position in the face of adversity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare move from the bamboo forest back to the newly renovated palace.

Whenever he had free time, he would write and chat with Li Ming, listening to him tell stories of the strange people and events that had fallen into the Yunmeng Sect. Unexpectedly, five hundred years had passed.

She lazily crossed her legs, found a comfortable position, and yawned.

Just as I was about to rest, I suddenly heard a noise outside.

Two birds flew in.

They are the ninth and fifth divine birds under the Hundred Birds Gate, which is commanded by the Left Prime Minister. The White Night Bird and the Three-Legged Golden Crow are the latter two. The Three-Legged Golden Crow is a bird in form.

The White Night Bird transformed into a little girl and began rubbing against the Queen's face, sticking close to hers.

He then returned a broken tile to Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao retrieved this broken tile from the Thunder Swamp Forbidden Land. At the time, he had a feeling that this thing was extraordinary, so he immediately sent the Ten Divine Birds to investigate it.

However, they found nothing and didn't even know what the material was, so they had to give up the investigation.

"Your Majesty, why don't you try dripping your blood?"

Jinwu suggested that she knew many treasures might only be effective after being infused with blood.

Wu Xiao squeezed out a few drops of blood from her fingertips, letting them drip onto the tile and slowly seep in.

Bai Ye and Jin Wu both watched, waiting for a miracle.

I was very disappointed with the result.

Wu Xiao threw the broken tile back into the Sumeru Ring that Li Ming had given her.

They had finally returned, and Wu Xiao asked them to accompany her on a stroll around for two days. Then they left, leaving Wu Xiao alone again. She returned to her desolate palace.

Touching the phoenix-shaped Sumeru Ring, he planned to take out a sword from it to cultivate.

As a result, her sword disappeared.

When he probed with his divine sense, he discovered that many of his treasures had disappeared.

That's a ghost story.

She found it unbelievable, but soon a thought came to mind, and a bold guess emerged in her mind. She was right; that broken tile was actually secretly eating her spiritual treasure.

This was the first time she had ever heard of a treasure that could be consumed.

She knew she had truly found a treasure.

I was very excited, so I immediately bought a lot of spiritual treasures, put them in my Sumeru Ring, let it eat them, and quietly waited for its transformation.

Should I tell Li Ming about this?

Wu Xiao thought about it and decided to wait until the broken tile had completed its transformation before telling him, so as not to be disappointed.

"I wonder what he's doing now?"

...

Li Mingzheng was sitting cross-legged in the red jade crystal coffin, attempting a breakthrough.

During the five hundred years.

He wasn't idle either; besides chatting with Wu Xiao, playing with the green ivy, and beating up the dog, he spent his days doing other things.

It involves receiving all sorts of characters who drop in.

The first one is Wang Mang.

Wang Mang was born in the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. His father was Wang Man and his brother was Wang Yong. When Wang Mang was young, his father and brother died one after another, and he lived with his uncles.

In the first year of the reign, he deposed Ruzi Ying, proclaimed himself emperor, changed the era name to Xin, and established the reign title "Shijian Guo". The capital was Chang'an.

After Wang Mang became emperor, he used the pretext of restoring the old ways and reforming the system to order reforms.

The main contents of Wang Mang's reforms:

(1) The land was renamed the "King's Land" and private individuals were prohibited from buying and selling it. The land problem was solved by restoring the well-field system.

(2) They were to be converted into private servants and were not allowed to be bought or sold.

(3) Implement the Five Equalizations and Six Managements, that is, set up Five Equalizations Offices in the capital Chang'an and five major cities. The government manages the Five Equalizations' credit and prices, collects commercial taxes, and the government operates salt, iron, wine, minting coins and collects mountain and lake taxes.

(4) Reform the currency system.

(5) Reform the central government agencies, adjust the division of prefectures and counties, and change the names of officials and places.

(6) Change the names of ethnic minorities and the titles of their leaders.

This ultimately aroused public anger and widespread discontent, and the regime was on the verge of collapse and falling into ruin.

Li Ming happened to know the reasons for Wang Mang's failure, so he described them to him: the reforms were too hasty, and the policies he introduced violated the objective historical laws of the time, among other reasons.

Four days later, Wang Mang left Yunmeng Sect.

The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards players with Qi Refining Level 80 and the dagger "Chaotic Wilderness".

Just go for it.

...

The second one is Liu Xiu.

At this time, a Taoist priest whom Wang She served observed the celestial phenomena at night and saw "a comet's tail sweeping across the Emperor Star".

Therefore, it was concluded that the Liu family would soon regain power, and the person leading them would be named Liu Xiu.
