It had been mentioned earlier that the founding monarch of the Great Zou Imperial Dynasty not only became the Son of Heaven by sacrificing the world's origin from a blessed land to the Heavenly Dao, but also ensured that his descendants could also become the Son of Heaven by ascending the throne.
Possessing the ability to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.
Emperor Qingyan and all his princes, including the royal family members in the imperial capital, were annihilated. However, this did not mean that the entire royal family was wiped out. Some distant relatives who had been enfeoffed long ago were still alive, and some even preserved a modicum of their heritage.
It was precisely their unwillingness.
And their desire to seize the position of the Son of Heaven during this opportunity.
They expended all their resources to rebuild a small imperial court, construct a small Altar of Sacrifice to Heaven, and even sacrificed several Grandmasters of Martial Dao before finally managing to awaken the Heavenly Dao, hoping it would provide them with assistance.
The Heavenly Dao, under normal circumstances, remained dormant. It only awakened when offerings were made.
Furthermore, upon awakening, it rejoiced and even bestowed boons upon those who were beneficial to it and served its interests. Conversely, it would deliberately obstruct matters that were detrimental to it.
If, at this very moment, the martial world had been overturned by the Great Zou Imperial Dynasty by its own people, the Heavenly Dao might not have reacted significantly. After all, a change in the Son of Heaven was not something the Heavenly Dao found difficult to accept.
Indeed, it would have been delighted to have a more capable Son of Heaven who could bring it greater benefits.
However, for people from another world to undertake this task.
This was something it could not tolerate.
The instinct of the Heavenly Dao was to strengthen itself. If people from another world entered its world, conquered territories, and reshaped the land, and were successful, it would likely mean that this Heavenly Dao would be devoured by the Heavenly Dao of the opposing world. This was clearly unacceptable to the Heavenly Dao of the martial world. While it was ignorant of this before, now that it knew, it naturally had to hasten to expel those outsiders.
This manifested in all the outsiders encountering misfortune, with constant accidents occurring. The casualties began to exceed those from warfare. Additionally, natural disasters became increasingly severe in the regions ruled by outsiders. Drought-stricken areas became even drier, to the point where the underground water veins completely disappeared. Flooded areas continued to experience continuous rainfall, and even after turning into vast expanses of water, the rain did not stop.
Other disasters such as landslides and collapsing mountains.
Occurred with increasing frequency.
They were happening with a frequency that greatly deviated from the laws of nature.
Although the Heavenly Dao of the martial world could not directly attack the outsiders and strike them down with lightning, it could easily manipulate things, cause natural disasters, and cause their luck to plummet to negative numbers.
These various portents undoubtedly shook people's morale immensely.
In fact, if the situation continued to develop, some people speculated that an event similar to the meteor shower that annihilated the Xin Mang army in historical records might befall them. They frantically sent relevant news back to the interdimensional operations command center, seeking help.
Some personnel had already withdrawn from the interdimensional world.
Regarding this direct targeting by the Heavenly Dao, the interdimensional operations command center was also at a loss. They had no understanding of the Heavenly Dao, no knowledge of how to deal with it, and thus no solutions.
… In response, they could only search ancient texts and try their best to find the cultivator from before. In addition to this, they devised a contingency plan: if all else failed, they would withdraw.
After all, they understood the saying, "When the times favor, heaven and earth conspire; when the times turn, heroes are bound." If the entire world was against them, even their advanced weaponry would be of no avail. They also could not continuously rely on the local food supply to provide disaster relief to the people of the interdimensional world. Their willingness to provide relief earlier was because they intended to help the disaster victims for a period of time before assisting them in replanting high-yield seeds and restoring their normal lives.
However, with the Heavenly Dao's constant targeting and endless natural disasters, crops could not be planted. Even with China's strong capabilities, they could not indefinitely sustain so many disaster victims.
Therefore, if no solution was found, they would be forced to abandon their plan to occupy that world and instead deploy robots to mine there, or directly trade with the local forces of that world to purchase their resources.
When Ding Yun left, she did not leave any contact information, only leaving behind some martial arts techniques and a few dual-channel portals. With the dual-channel portals being difficult to expose, the interdimensional operations command center deliberated and decided to select the basic content from the martial arts techniques and compile it into the latest set of broadcast gymnastics, promoting it nationwide. Simultaneously, they issued a nationwide call for the compiler of the new broadcast gymnastics, expressing that the country needed their help and hoping they would come forward upon hearing the news, along with receiving copyright fees.
It had to be said that having the backing of the state was powerful.
The search for a person could even be broadcast nationwide.
The impact of this matter was so significant that it became a topic of public discussion. No matter how much Ding Yun traveled or how little she cared about major online events, she soon learned about it.
And then, naturally, she was very curious and disguised herself as the previous cultivator again. After her parents fell asleep in the hotel, she secretly went to the interdimensional operations command center late at night and finally understood the situation.
She then proposed three solutions.
"I understand the situation you've described. There are currently three solutions. You can choose yourselves."
"The first method is that I will give you a secret technique for sacrificing to the Heavenly Dao and drawing it forth. You will sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao in your world and then drive the Heavenly Dao of your world to fight against the Heavenly Dao of the opposing world. Although the spiritual energy in our world has only recently recovered, and the Heavenly Dao's strength will be somewhat weaker.
However, our world's humanity is flourishing. As long as you cooperate diligently, the probability of defeating the opposing world's Heavenly Dao is quite high. The drawback is that any damage sustained during the process will also significantly harm our world."
"The second method is to replace the Heavenly Dao with humanity. Overall, it means holding the belief that 'the heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall rise.' In that martial world, you will widely propagate the idea that the Son of Heaven is tyrannical, the heavens are dead, and humanity is flourishing.
As long as the majority of people in that world firmly believe this, you can establish altars of humanity, condense magnificent humanistic fortune, and temporarily suppress the Heavenly Dao."
"The third method is the simplest. I will accompany you personally. If there are no accidents, and you follow my plan, even if we cannot completely destroy the Heavenly Dao of that world, it should be severely weakened.
It will directly fall into a dormant state.
And be incapable of causing trouble or affecting you again."
These three methods were carefully selected by Ding Yun as the most likely to be realized. The final decision depended on the interdimensional operations command center.
