Chapter 73: Ancient Gods

The world is in turmoil, and the leaders of various provincial governments are watching and speculating, thinking about how to survive in the future.

Some provincial capitals directly formed alliances with local noble families, and then elected a leader to unify the forces within the province and county in order to protect themselves. Some provincial capitals had powerful factions in the local area, and the power of the government was relatively weak, so they had to rely on these large factions. In addition, there were remote provinces and counties where foreign ethnic groups gathered, and they simply returned to the state of autonomy and peace in the past.

The Plantagenet dynasty had ruled the world for hundreds of years, and its accumulated wealth was so profound that many organizations and families could not harbor any dissenting thoughts. Only now, when it collapsed, did they feel a little uncomfortable and unaccustomed. Most provinces and counties were still in a state of ignorance and adhered to the inertia of the past, and had not yet completely escaped the afterglow of the dynasty.

However, there were also some states and counties that were quickly unified and gathered through mediation. They did not become scattered sand, but were integrated into a framework. This was naturally not accomplished by one or two accidental geniuses, but by the powerful influence and power of several major sects. They also had the same origin, that is, the direct descendants of Qingluan.

After the Northern Army marched south, there was no force or individual in the northern continents that could resist the pressure of the Five Clans of Qingluan. In just half a year, they opened up the 31 northern continents, subdued the factions in each place, and took over the provincial governments. Until now, the time is finally ripe.

Among the vast mountains, a steeply inclined copper-green peak is particularly conspicuous. The green color on the mountain is not just the leaves, but also the reflection of exposed minerals, which is very rare. This is the mountain gate station of "Copper-Green Peacock Mountain" and the place where the blue bird landed on the jade branch in the past.

"Tie Lansheng, it's time for you to tell us your final trump card."

A group of people now stood on the towering cliff. Judging from their clothing and demeanor, they were all extraordinary. It could be said that each of them had the strength of no less than Sequence 8. Moreover, most of them wore green clothes and wore emerald jade on their waists. People who were familiar with them could recognize them at a glance. These people were the chiefs or leaders of the Five Qingluan Sects and were extremely powerful.

"Brother Denglou, why are you so anxious? Let me explain it to all of you in detail." A man in flowing clothes stood in the wind on the cliff. There were peacock feathers at the end of his clothes, reflecting the brilliance in the sunlight, which was very special.

"The five sects we belong to share the same origin. I'm sure you're all familiar with the legend of 'the blue bird carrying a branch, landing and giving birth to a country.'"

"The legendary era is so far away now, and the truth of many events has been gradually distorted during the process of transmission, leaving people with a foggy and unrealistic view."

"The area we are in today is where His Majesty Qingluan fought with the bronze giant." As soon as the young leader of Green Pine Peacock Mountain opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

In addition to several people from the 'Green Pine Peacock Mountain' faction, many core members from the 'Blue Lotus Sword Washing Palace', 'Ninglu Dyeing Green Square', 'Hanshan Yanxing Sect' and 'Biluo Xiaoyao Palace' were also present. At this moment, they looked at the mountains and the wide canyon below, thinking about something.

"It was because of the battle with the three-headed, six-armed bronze god that the emerald dew and jade branch fell from the blue bird's mouth. So now our five Qingluan nations should owe a debt of gratitude to that foreign god." As soon as he said this, many people present frowned.

"That foreign god is the enemy of His Majesty Qingluan. As the direct descendants of Qingluan, how can we thank the bandits?" A chief of Qinglian Xijian Palace stood up, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and stern.

"Why is Junior Brother Xian Ying so prejudiced? If you had read the sect's records about ancient times, you and I would have known that His Majesty Qingluan does not love the people of the Five Nations like me."

From an objective point of view, the five countries opened up among these mountains were indeed blessed by Qingluan, but emotionally speaking, Qingluan was somewhat cold and distant. Although she opened up the land of these countries and gave them nectar and guidance several times in the early days, compared with the other five phoenixes, she rarely got close to the people under her protection.

In the early years, the people of the Five Kingdoms lived in deep mountains and had little communication with the outside world, so they didn't notice it. But after the dynasty unified the world, the Five Phoenix branches gradually communicated more frequently, and some clues slowly emerged.

The Five Clans of Qingluan greatly envied the other Five Phoenixes' inheritances, which were so detailed and thoughtful, with numerous revisions and instructions. However, they retained very few of Qingluan's own handwritten texts, and even some legends were added by later generations for embellishment. It was like a child left alone by his mother: although he had freedom, he always felt a sense of loneliness.

However, the Five Clans of Qingluan also inherited Qingluan's proud nature, and rarely expressed these in front of the other Five Phoenix factions. Instead, they would swear that His Majesty Qingluan was so good, which made the other Five Phoenix inheritance factions dare not say anything too much or provoke them.

But today, the head of Green Pine Peacock Mountain revealed this pain and regret himself.

"Tie Lansheng!" Several people present glared at the leader of this group who spoke without thinking.

"I'm sorry, my words were a bit harsh." He first bowed respectfully to calm everyone down a little, and then he continued.

"What I mean is that the fact that we, the Five Clans of the Azure Luan, and the Five Nations, are where we are today is also due to the opportunity given by this Outer God."

"So, Senior Brother Tie Lansheng, what plans do you have?" A woman in a veil stepped forward, her eyes like clear autumn water, looking at the seat in front of everyone.

"That's right, Junior Sister Bishuang." He shook the folding fan in his hand, and then pointed to the emerald green tilted giant peak not far away.

"Everyone, you can see this huge mountain. In fact, according to our sect's records, this mountain was transformed from the giant spirit with three heads and six arms back then."
