Chapter 224: Chapter 146 [Huaxia·Main Chronicle] Full CG (7k two-in-one, please vote for monthly tickets!)_3
It’s as if we’ve returned to that chaotic era, only this time the enemies are the barbarians.
In the scene.
Barbarians on war horses whip the countless civilians, beneath the large cauldron far away, the kindling includes not only branches, clothes, but also corpses... The savage scene strikes the hearts of Blue Star netizens.
Especially Duan Yu.
Duan Yu, who survived for over three hundred days in Leningrad, thought he had seen all the world’s wickedness.
But now this savage scene.
Struck him even harder than Leningrad.
The people of Leningrad began that kind of behavior only after going mad, while in the video, those barbarians started with laughter and clarity, aware of what they were doing?!
Looking at the sinister smiles of those barbarians in the video, a shiver ran through Duan Yu’s body.
It seems that ancient times weren’t all idyllic either...
Slaughter breaks out everywhere on this land, revealing the frail people’s weaknesses. If they do not stand up this time, this nation that has existed since the Great Flood may disappear completely.
The scene shifts.
A notice in the city flew into the sky as a soldier failed to hold it steady, vaguely showing the words ’Kill the Barbarians’, followed by beacons and smoke rising everywhere.
This nation’s counterattack has begun.
Blocks of power representing the barbarians in dark black, black purple, and black blue started being expelled from the Central Plains, while those representing the Central Plains orthodoxy in red and yellow began to emerge independently.
Then... they fought again.
Witnessing this scene, Duan Yu was dumbfounded:
"What the heck?!"
"No way???"
Just drove out foreigners and now started internal strife again.
Newbie Blue Star players in the live stream were also dumbfounded, never expecting this nation to be so... incredible!
Unity seems to be an obsession.
Fighting all the way to the Central Plains, when only one color power block remained.
Grand projects began.
The virtual map appeared, showing excavation canals, building palaces, repairing roads, the Great Wall, granaries, dragon boats... these monumental projects made Blue Star netizens feel they had seen this scene somewhere before?
Perhaps in that dynasty of the emperor with the black and gold dragon robe?
And next...
Blue Star netizens vaguely guessed.
Indeed.
With these monumental projects, rebellions rose across the land, quickly fragmenting this mighty unified empire into various factions.
Scaring Blue Star netizens out of their wits.
Some netizens, using a map and notes, calculated with photon supercomputers.
[These ancients were too outlandish.]
[The canal is approximately 2700 kilometers long, the palace in Luoyang covers roughly 58 square kilometers, the Great Wall repair along that distance, and at that repair speed, conscripting no less than millions, with thousands upon thousands of dragon boats...]
[With this scale of work, even with full mechanization on Blue Star, it would take several years.]
[In ancient times, relying solely on human labor for these projects, millions would have died of exhaustion.]
Seeing this netizen’s comment.
Many in the live stream nodded, indeed... This isn’t about hundreds or thousands of meters.
It’s thousands of kilometers... relying purely on manpower for excavation.
The mere 58 square kilometers of Luoyang Palace may seem insignificant, but the only surviving Summer Palace (Forbidden City) ruins on Blue Star are merely 0.72 square kilometers.
In other words.
This palace renovation alone equals the size of 78 Forbidden City ruins.
No machinery in ancient times, pure human labor...
Hiss—
With the collapse of this dynasty, chaotic power blocks quickly merged and swallowed each other, until golden yellow power blocks completely occupied the scene, constantly expanding outward.
The scene shifts.
Slowly emerging large characters.
[Taiji Palace]
A dignified man in a bright yellow embroidered dragon robe, a nine-ring jade belt with dragon patterns, wearing an imperial crown, a twelve-strand white jade beaded curtain half-covering his face, sits on the dragon throne, surrounded by ministers standing sideways.
In the center of the great hall appeared variously clad barbarians, the leader stepped forward:
"The might of Tang shakes the world, awe-inspiring through time."
"We, from Gaochang, Shule, and Kangguo, among twenty-nine nations, have agreed to honor the Emperor of Tang with a title, called..."
With envoys from other nations, sincerely bowed to the man in the dragon robe above, deeply bowed:
"Tian Kehan!!!"
The sound echoed in the hall, watching this scene, Blue Star netizens couldn’t help but hold their breath; this is the dreamlike scene, though the man in the picture isn’t oneself, it doesn’t hinder the imagination.
Feeling vaguely excited.
Then the scene evolves, as this powerful golden dynasty spreads outward, it also faced invading powers.
Yet always maintained a mighty stance.
However, the end of this dynasty seemed to find counterparts, drought in eastern provinces, heavy levies and taxes, people struggling, uprisings everywhere, similar to the end times of the dynasty named Han.
Except this time the people no longer shout that Heaven has died, the Yellow Heaven shall rise.
Instead it’s [Heavenly Equality], "Fill the gaps, equalize wealth."
This was no longer a rebellion against the sacredness of the dynasty, but against the entire ancient social class system.
[Year 875 AD]
Wang Xianzhi rose in rebellion with the slogan of Heavenly Equality.
Casually, like the Han Dynasty, was quickly crushed, but its impact persisted in continuous chaos, various colored power blocks tangled and battled over the Central Plains.
years... 20 years... 30 years...
Until [Year 960 AD], only one colored power block remained in the Central Plains.
It was considerably smaller compared to previous dynasties.
