That night, the uninvited guest appeared on Zhou Di's bed. Zhou Di thought that he was an assassin and was shocked.
The uninvited guest did not do anything to harm Zhou Di. He only told Zhou Di that he was an immortal from the Celestial World and that he wanted to turn the Cangxuan Continent's history back on track.
Zhou Di was initially suspicious of his words. After that, the uninvited guest asked him to gather all the worshippers of the royal family. Zhou Di did as he was told.
In front of more than ten worshippers of the Great Zhou Empire, the uninvited guest introduced himself again. The worshippers were all very powerful and arrogant. They were not as gullible as Zhou Di. They did not hide their suspicions, including the Inky Great Deer.
The uninvited guest used a simple and crude method to dispel everyone's suspicions. His body jerked and a terrifying True Celestial aura exploded from his body. The worshippers of the Great Zhou Empire could not withstand the aura of a True Celestial and all knelt on the ground.
After that, the uninvited guest used a miraculous technique. As he clenched his fist, the void space around him shattered like a mirror. The Inky Great Deer and the rest were shocked as they saw this. They completely believed that the uninvited guest was an immortal from the Celestial World. That was because only immortals could shatter void space. Even someone as powerful as Su Changcun could not do this.
After shocking everyone, the uninvited guest tempted them with benefits. He told the Inky Great Deer and the rest that as long as they helped him turn the Cangxuan Continent's history back on track, he would give them the opportunity to become immortals. The Cangxuan Continent's path to immortality was broken. There were very few cultivators who reached the Old Age Stage, much less those who ascended. But he could reconnect the broken path to immortality and allow everyone present to become immortals.
The worshippers were attracted by the Inky Great Deer's offer. As cultivators, becoming immortals was their greatest dream and pursuit. They had no reason to reject it and they could not reject it.
Therefore, everyone, including Zhou Di, promised the uninvited guest that they would help him turn the Cangxuan Continent's history back on track no matter the cost.
The uninvited guest said that the reason why the Cangxuan Continent's history had gone astray was all because of Su Changcun. He shouldn't have died, but he had violated some sort of taboo in the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm, which led to his death. The butterfly effect he had created had completely overturned the original course of history.
If Su Changcun walked out of the secret realm alive back then, his descendants would definitely have extremely high statuses. But according to the uninvited guest, Su Changcun only had a single granddaughter left and her status in the Grand Xia Empire was extremely low.
In order to restore the original history, the uninvited guest asked Emperor Zhou to use the name of Crown Prince Zhou Gan to propose marriage to Xia Wan 'an to the Xia Dynasty, allowing her to regain her noble status.
However, a few days after the marriage request was made, the uninvited guest suddenly changed his mind. He performed a Tianji Hexagram and came to the conclusion that history could only return to the right path after the Xia Dynasty was destroyed. This was the general trend, so he asked Emperor Zhou to cancel the marriage and declare war on the Xia Dynasty.
For the opportunity to become an Immortal, Emperor Zhou obeyed him and did everything according to his wishes.
The uninvited guest didn't only operate in the Zhou Dynasty. He used the method of subduing Emperor Zhou and the Zhou Dynasty's worshippers to do the same to the Han, Qi, and Qin Empires. He made the four empires declare war on the Xia Dynasty at the same time and join forces to destroy the other side.
In addition, the uninvited guest also asked the four empires to send their most powerful worshippers to form an assassination team and sneak into the Xia Dynasty's palace to kill the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty. He wanted this war to end as soon as possible.
That was the complete story of the four empires' alliance.
…
…
"Did that mysterious person who called himself an Immortal really come from the Immortal World?"
Although Xia Wan 'an looked calm on the surface, many thoughts were surging in her mind.
The memory of the Ink-Black Deer had a huge impact on her. She was most concerned about that mysterious Immortal. She didn't expect that the person who wanted to destroy the Xia Dynasty was an Immortal!
After the battle with the Ink-Black Deer, she thought that she was invincible with her thousands of years of cultivation. Now, it seemed that she had thought too much. At the very least, she was no match for that mysterious Immortal. She couldn't make all the worshippers of the imperial family kneel down and submit to him like the mysterious Immortal. She couldn't shatter the void with a punch like him.
"No matter how powerful the mysterious Immortal is, I can't let him destroy the Xia Dynasty!"
Xia Wan 'an thought to herself. No matter who it was, no one could stop her from becoming the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Actually, she had another question in her mind. Was the Immortal World that the mysterious Immortal came from the same Immortal World as the Internet Cafe's boss?
She thought of that dark and quiet alley. There were strange-looking buildings on both sides of the road, and immortal weapons that emitted light were casually inserted into the roadside.
"Maybe I was wrong from the start. The Internet Cafe's boss might not be from the Immortal World, but a world even more mysterious and powerful than the Immortal World …"
…
…
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior. I can't thank you enough!"
Just as Xia Wan 'an was digesting the information she obtained from the Ink-Black Deer's memory, Jia Nanfeng suddenly walked up quickly and thanked her respectfully.
Xia Wan 'an glanced at her coldly. This was the woman who caused her and her mother to be so miserable. After knowing that she was about to marry into another country, she even sent people to assassinate her time and time again.
The dramatic thing was that the other party still didn't know who she was and didn't know that she didn't save her but didn't want her to die in the hands of others.
The moment she made eye contact with her "savior", Jia Nanfeng felt an inexplicable chill. She had goosebumps all over her body, as if she was being stared at by an extremely terrifying monster.
She swallowed her saliva and braced herself to continue. "I'd like to ask you to go to the Heart-Nurturing Palace to support His Majesty. Since this group of thieves tried to assassinate me, they'll definitely attack His Majesty. I'm afraid the worshippers of the Xia Dynasty won't be enough to stop them!"
After a moment of silence, Xia Wan 'an said coldly, "Your father was besieged by assassins in order to save you. Instead of asking me to save him, you're asking me to support the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Aren't you being too heartless?"
In fact, she was a little jealous. She was jealous that even someone like Jia Nanfeng had a father who was willing to risk his life to protect her. On the other hand, her father didn't have any concept of kinship with her at all. He even imprisoned her and her mother in the Cold Palace for more than ten years. He was heartless and even crueler than her enemies.
"Senior, my father's cultivation level has already reached the elderly realm. Even if he can't defeat those assassins, he can still escape in the end. However, it's different for His Majesty. He's the ruler of a country. Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is in a precarious situation, if anything happens to him again, the Great Xia Dynasty will be destroyed in the blink of an eye!"
Jia Nanfeng answered carefully, worried that she would be repulsed by her words.
Xia Wan 'an thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. Although she was very hostile towards her father and even wished that the assassins could kill him, she had to admit that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't die now.
