Ten days passed in the blink of an eye!
The Dahan Imperial Dynasty's memorial ceremony for the dead citizens of Three-Mountain City was known by the entire nation. It had even spread throughout the world.
It was the first time in the world that the emperor and ministers of the Imperial Dynasty had personally come to pay tribute to the dead citizens of a city. It seemed that the small nations and sects of the past had suffered greatly from the destruction of a city. That was why they had reluctantly come to pay tribute and appease the people.
For an Imperial Dynasty with more than a hundred cities, it was almost impossible for the entire nation to pay tribute to a city. At most, they would seek revenge for the city and gain the support of the people.
However, at this moment, the Dahan Imperial Dynasty had nearly eight hundred cities. It was such a huge entity. However, the destruction of a city had risen to the level of a national strategy.
Not only did the entire nation attach importance to it, but they also invited some sects and countries nearby to come.
At this moment, the various peaks in the surroundings were already filled with people. There were the leaders of the four factions who were invited, the citizens of the Dahan, and countless experts from all over the world who had come because of the reputation. These experts had also heard of the entire nation paying tribute to the dead citizens of a city for the first time, so they all came.
After all, the citizens of this city were said to have been killed by the Spiritual Mountain's holy land. Paying tribute now seemed to be a signal.
This included the leaders of the three Imperial Dynasties and three sects who were preparing to deal with the Dahan.
The experts of the six factions were invited. They stood at the peak of a mountain outside Three-Mountain City and looked at the city that was already filled with chrysanthemums in the distance.
One of the emperors revealed a cold smile as he looked into the distance. "Gu Hai, he really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"Yeah, he actually invited us to watch the ceremony. Hahaha, is he going to send the Dahan into the abyss of destruction?" Another emperor sneered.
"Everything is ready. We are only waiting for Gu Hai to show up!" A third emperor said coldly.
"What did Dragon God Ying and the Spiritual Mountain say?" A sect leader at the side asked in a deep voice.
"Dragon Deity Ying agreed. Three Mountains City is the border between the Great Ying Empire and the Dahan Empire. When the Boundless Celestial Capital arrives, Dragon Deity Ying will mobilize the entire Great Ying Empire. His strength is comparable to that of the Tongtian Sect Master. He'll make a move then!" said a sect leader.
"There aren't many people coming from Mystical Mountain this time. However, there are also quite a few. Sakra, Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, and even the South Sea Dragon King will be coming! Perhaps they have already arrived. "Another sect leader sneered.
"Sakra, Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, South Sea Dragon King, Dragon God Ying, and the six of us. Today is the day of Dahan's destruction!" An emperor said coldly.
The leaders of the six forces sneered as they looked at the large number of soldiers guarding the Three Mountains City.
Halfway up another mountain, there was a group of people in black. The two in the lead were quietly looking at the Three Mountains City.
If Gu Hai was here, he would definitely recognize one of them. It was the Great Yellow Dynasty's Emperor Kong. He had once represented the Great Yellow Dynasty in the Thousand Saints Conference. He was Empress Ji's trusted aide, Emperor Kong.
The man beside Emperor Kong was an extremely handsome young man.
The young man looked at the Three Mountains City in the distance and narrowed his eyes. "Emperor Kong, His Holiness wants us to go to the netherworld. Why did you bring me here? To watch a funeral? "
Emperor Kong smiled. "Mister Wu Xing, don't you think the Three Mountains City's public funeral is very interesting?"
"Oh?" Mister Wu Xing was puzzled.
"It has only been twenty years. Heh, have you seen a dynasty rise so quickly? This Gu Hai is too dangerous! "Emperor Kong frowned.
Mister Wu Xing frowned slightly and nodded. "That's right. Gu Hai always surprises people and his methods are outstanding. In a short time, he destroyed the Great Emperor Dynasty. Oh, today, all the cities of the Great Emperor Dynasty should have fallen into the hands of the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, right?"
"That's right. The news just came. The five hundred cities of the Great Emperor Dynasty all belong to the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. Now, Gu Hai has eight hundred cities. You should know that the Long Zhanguo's Da Qian Celestial Dynasty only had fifteen hundred cities!" Emperor Kong said with a gloomy expression.
"Half of the Celestial Dynasty's cities. However, the difference between a Celestial Dynasty and an Imperial Dynasty is not determined by the number of cities! Back then, Chiyou's Nine Li Imperial Dynasty had more cities than this, but it still didn't become an Imperial Dynasty, right? "Mister Wu Xing sneered.
Emperor Kong shook his head. "Mister Wu Xing, you've only been in the Great Yellow Dynasty for a short time, so you don't know much about the Battle of Zhuolu three thousand years ago. Chiyou was qualified to become a Celestial Dynasty at that time, but because he was entangled with Jiang Lianshan, so …!"
"Oh?" Mister Wu Xing looked at Emperor Kong.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about what happened back then. Look, Gu Hai and the others are here!" Emperor Kong suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at a fleet of huge flying boats in the distance.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!" In the south of the Three Mountains City, countless officials suddenly bowed respectfully.
Gu Hai had arrived, so the Limitless Celestial Capital should be near.
Everyone looked toward the south. Indeed, from afar, a huge city slowly flew over from the horizon. It was the Limitless Celestial Capital.
The Limitless Celestial Capital was still moving slowly, but Gu Hai had already arrived with a group of officials in ten flying boats.
On the flying boat, Gu Hai held onto the railing and looked outside the Three Mountains City. Countless people had already gathered in all directions to offer sacrifices, as well as countless experts from all over the world.
Around the Three Mountains City, the Immortal Demon Army had returned and was stationed outside the city. Only top experts could get close.
In the south of the city, Mo Yike, Gao Xianzhi, and Chen Tianshan had already been waiting there for a long time. As Gu Hai's flying boat approached, they all bowed respectfully toward the sky.
In the city, all the buildings had already been repaired, as if they had never been damaged before. However, the entire city had sunk. It was as if the entire city had sunk into a deep pit. In the deep pit, there were a total of two hundred million coffins, which naturally contained the corpses of the people of the Three Mountains City.
Around the coffins, there were chrysanthemums scattered, as if they were remembering their fallen comrades.
As the three armies respectfully welcomed Gu Hai's arrival, the surroundings of the Three Mountains City became quiet. Everyone looked at the leading flying boat.
The flying boat slowly landed in the plaza outside the Three Mountains City. Gu Hai led all the officials off the flying boat and slowly walked toward the entrance of the Three Mountains City.
Not far from where the leaders of the six factions were, an emperor sneered, "Gu Hai really dared to come. He actually brought all the officials of the imperial court!"
"Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Mosquito Daoren, Ao Shun, Guqin, and Montes? They're all here? In that case, the Limitless Celestial Capital has already become an empty city? "Another emperor narrowed his eyes.
"The Spirit Mountain Sacred Ground, Dragon Shenying, and the others are in charge of destroying the Limitless Celestial Capital first before joining us. Haha, we'll catch Gu Hai right here and now!" A sect master sneered.
In the middle of the crowd, Gu Hai didn't pay attention to anything else. Instead, he slowly led all the officials to the entrance of the Three Mountains City.
"Woo woo woo woo woo woo!"
The people from the Ministry of Rites slowly blew the mournful and grand horn of a bull.
The national memorial ceremony had officially begun.
The three armies all stood in formation. Gu Hai had used the military training methods he'd passed down when he'd founded the nation. The scene of all the soldiers standing in formation immediately appeared. All the soldiers stood in line after line, adding a sense of might and majesty to the already solemn occasion.
This sense of might and majesty seemed to carry a powerful influence that made the faces of the countless spectators turn solemn.
"This army's appearance is really impressive!" Emperor Kong said with an ugly expression.
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such a neat formation. There aren't many in this world, right?" Mr. Wu Xing frowned.
"It's not that there aren't many, it's that there aren't any. Haha, looking at the army of the Dahan Empire and looking at the armies of other nations, I feel that the others are all unorthodox! Including the Great Yellow Dynasty! "Emperor Kong said with a solemn and bitter smile.
"An army can't be formed just by standing in formation!" Mr. Wu Xing shook his head.
"But in the end, their spirits are higher, and they make people feel a sense of might!" Emperor Kong frowned.
On the other side, a hint of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the people from the six factions.
"Hmph, what's the use of standing in formation? We have to win the war!"
"That's right. Hmph, if they want to train to stand in formation, we can do it too. We won't be any worse than them!"
"What's the use of these unorthodox methods?"
… … …
… … … …
… …
The leaders of the six factions were jealous.
However, no matter what the six factions thought, the people who came to watch the ceremony all showed stunned expressions. When they felt this might, their confidence in the Han Imperial Dynasty unknowingly increased by leaps and bounds. Everyone stared at the center.
After the officials stood respectfully behind Gu Hai, Gu Hai walked to the front and stood in front of a huge table. There was a large amount of wine and delicacies on the table, but at this moment, no one would have an appetite because these were all sacrifices.
Slowly, Gu Hai picked up a cup of wine.
At this moment, the attendants walked in, and the civil and military officials immediately took a cup of wine.
"Golden Dragon of Luck, Dahan Empire, the emperor and officials will sacrifice to the people of Three-Mountain City and announce to the world!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Roar!"
In the distance, the Golden Dragon of Luck sensed Gu Hai's shout. Immediately, the dragon roared loudly, and the voice spread to the ears of all the people of the Dahan Empire.
In the 800 cities, whether it was the newly conquered cities or the old cities of the Dahan Empire, all the people were shocked when they heard Gu Hai's voice.
"People of Three-Mountain City, I have already helped more than half of you to reincarnate, but I was unable to protect you. In the end, it is my fault. Today, I will toast you with this cup of wine to apologize to all the people of Three-Mountain City who died in the disaster! I hope that everyone will have a safe journey! "Gu Hai shouted.
As he spoke, Gu Hai poured a cup of wine on the ground in an extremely Solemnly manner as a toast to the people who died in the disaster.
The civil and military officials immediately imitated Gu Hai and toasted Gu Hai in an extremely Solemnly manner. "May you all have a good journey!"
The people of Dahan nodded, feeling Gu Hai's sincerity. Of course, the people who had just conquered the cities sneered. They didn't seem to care, thinking that Gu Hai was being hypocritical.
"This second cup is to swear to the people who died in the disaster. Your vengeance is the vengeance of the Dahan Empire. If we don't take revenge, Spiritual Mountain will never be destroyed. The Dahan will never ascend to the heavens!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Wow!"
Everyone suddenly looked up at Gu Hai in shock.
From the Limitless Celestial Capital to the north of the divine continent, everyone had guessed that the Dahan Empire wanted to ascend to the Celestial Empire. But now, what did Gu Hai mean? Not taking revenge? Never ascend to the Celestial Empire?
How much determination did this require? Was this the rhythm of perishing together with the Holy Lands of the Spiritual Mountain?
The ordinary people in the eight hundred cities of the Han Royal Dynasty also felt stunned. This was especially so for those who said that Gu Hai was hypocritical. Their expressions immediately froze. Han Royal Dynasty? The current trend of the nation was clearly heading towards the Celestial Empire. His Majesty said that he would never ascend to the Celestial Empire if he didn't destroy Spiritual Mountain? This, this was him fighting to the death with himself. How was this hypocrisy? This was clearly a great determination.
Gambling the fate of the nation for the deaths of a city? Suddenly, no one thought that Gu Hai was being hypocritical. At the same time, the people's attitude towards Gu Hai gradually changed.
Solemnly, Gu Hai poured a cup of wine into the ground. All the officials also poured wine into the ground to honor the people who had died.
Solemnly, Gu Hai said, "I'll keep this third cup of wine here today. I'll wait for the day of your vengeance to come again!"
"Whoosh!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew around Three Mountain City. It was as though the people who had died had sensed Gu Hai's sincerity.
"Fill the ground!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Rumble!"
The soldiers all around immediately flew into the air and began to fill up one mountain after another. That enormous crater, Three Mountains City, was slowly being filled up.
At the same time, Gu Hai also formally gave a memorial speech.
"The grand Dahan, the illustrious civilization. Benevolence spread far and wide, traveling the world.
Invading the Spiritual Mountain, destroying our three mountains. Slaughtering Li Shu, corpses turning into life.
Two hundred million dead, nursing grievances in Three Mountain City. The sun and moon are dim, the universe is shocked.
The brutality of the beasts is unheard of. What are our compatriots, the country is in trouble.
Today, Three Mountain, tomorrow, I will return. If the demons are not eliminated, the world will not be at peace.
Sorrowful soldiers rise, golden spears beat drums. Brothers of one heart, vow to destroy the evil demons. "
