Afterwards, he guided public opinion and directed the blame to the Dragon Han Dynasty in the Central Region.
In order to investigate the cause, the Empress of Longhan, Song Yanran,
He personally went to the Northern Region to negotiate with Empress Mu, but unexpectedly fell into Shen Zhao's trap of luring him away from his mountain stronghold.
After she left, Shen Zhao instigated the Xiongnu, who had long been dissatisfied with the Longhan Dynasty, to join forces with various countries in the Central Region to attack Longhan.
After this battle caused heavy casualties among the people of Longhan, Shen Zhao once again used spies planted in both regions to spread rumors, claiming that this was a war of revenge by the Northern Region.
At this point, the Northern Territory and the Central Territory became completely hostile to each other, and they fought each other endlessly, launching a protracted war.
The former alliance of four emperors thus broke apart, plunging the entire continent into a brutal war.
Shen Zhao remained silent, his pupils seemingly reflecting the scene of the two armies of the Dragon Han Dynasty and the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty clashing on the battlefield, with rivers of blood flowing.
"The breakdown of the Four Emperors' Alliance led to a series of suffocating chain reactions.
Daoyu and Yaochi went to mediate but to no avail and were forced to be involved in this war and unable to escape.
For a time, war raged across the land, leaving countless displaced people and a desolate landscape littered with bones.
In this war that lasted for nearly ten years, the great powers of Longhan and Xuantian, which influenced the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the Nine Realms, fought to a standstill.
Later, the nun Minghui from Wanfoyan came to the world to resolve the feud and invited Yu Qingzhu from the demon world to assist her. Finally, the two countries signed a ceasefire agreement.
A rare period of peace had finally arrived for humanity, but who could have imagined that this disaster was merely the prelude to a true catastrophe?
"And then?"
Shen Zhao pressed for an answer.
Su Yunying took a deep breath: "While the Northern and Central Regions were at war, Shen Zhao was secretly collecting the innocent souls of those who died in the war."
The seal of the Nine Netherworlds was quietly broken, and in an instant, the evil tide of the Nine Netherworlds surged into the human world, bringing another catastrophe. The first to bear the brunt were the billions of lives in the Eastern Region.
A bead of cold sweat rolled down Shen Zhao's forehead.
He simply couldn't believe that he himself in this world could be so worse than a beast.
"Since the Northern and Central Regions have been severely weakened after years of fighting each other, they, along with Yaochi and Dao Region, are also unable to take charge of the overall situation."
They could only watch helplessly as the Nine Netherworlds ran rampant and wreaked havoc in the mortal realm. Soon, the Eastern Region was the first to fall to the Nine Netherworlds, and Shen Zhao did absolutely nothing throughout the entire process.
After watching helplessly as the Great Yin Empire, which he had built with his own hands, collapsed, he took Empress Yu and went alone to the Demon Realm.
And then…”
"Commander Su, something terrible has happened!"
A hurried call interrupted Su Yunying's description.
A sturdy man holding a steel knife rushed into the house, panting, and said to Su Yunying: "A large group of Blood Nightmare minions were spotted outside the village, and they are coming towards us."
Su Yunying immediately stood up and said: "Quickly move all the people in the village to the tunnel.
"Gather all the cultivators and come with me to the village entrance to stop them!"
"yes!"
The strong man took the order and left. Soon, the cries of children, women and children, as well as desperate and frightened shouts were heard from the village.
Su Yunying looked determined. She picked up the lone goose and the diary and was about to go out.
As he passed Shen Zhao, he said to him, "You should hide too."
"I am also a monk. I will go with you."
Shen Zhao would never allow Su Yunying to face the crisis alone, even if the current Su Yunying was not the one from the original world, he absolutely could not accept letting her take risks.
"You are also a cultivator?"
Su Yunying looked at Shen Zhao in disbelief.
"Why can't I feel the spiritual energy fluctuations on you? Stop making trouble, I won't let anything happen to you, don't worry."
Shen Zhao shook his head: "I should be saying this to you. I can't let you face the crisis alone."
After saying that, he turned around, flicked his cloak, and stepped out of the room before Su Yunying.
However, the next moment, he was stopped by Su Yunying with the shaft of the Lone Goose Spear.
"There's no need to show off. If you really want to help, then just stop causing trouble and be obedient. Go hide in the cellar with the people."
After speaking, Su Yunying patted Shen Zhao on the shoulder, flicked off her tattered cloak, and strode towards the entrance of the village.
Watching Su Yunying's departing figure, Shen Zhao involuntarily clenched his fists.
