The first thing the Nine Temples did when they unified the Middle Realm was to flatten all the forces in the Middle Realm. Regardless of whether the forces surrendered or not, the Nine Temples wiped them out in one fell swoop. Even the small forces were not spared. Even those ancient families that had been living in seclusion were uprooted by the Nine Temples!
The Nine Temples took control of everything in the Middle Realm. The first order they issued was to ask everyone in the Middle Realm to cooperate with them in building hundreds of palaces!
The number of palaces that were to be built was as many as one hundred and eight, and the scale of each palace was extremely huge. Almost all the young adults of the Middle Realm were gathered at that time, and entered into the never-ending labor. The Nine Temples sent people to supervise their work, and if they were the slightest bit lazy, only death would await them.
Not to mention resistance, if anyone dared to raise any objection to the Nine Temples, they would be killed. Not only would their entire family be exterminated, their entire family would be implicated!
In the beginning, the entire Middle Realm could be said to be a bloody mess. How many people died in the hands of the Nine Temples? The corpses piled up were enough to form a mountain!
It was also because of that crazy suppression that no one in the Middle Realm dared to casually mention the Nine Temples. Everyone was afraid of the Nine Temples.
The middle-aged man was the first batch of labourers. When the Nine Temples issued the order, they only said to build the palaces. After the construction was completed, they would naturally be given a certain amount of remuneration and would take care of their families. Under the pressure of the Nine Temples, everyone had no choice but to come.
What they did not know was that this lasted for several years. After a few years, the people who survived could no longer remember the appearance of their families.
Every day, from sunrise to sunset, they only had ten minutes in the afternoon to eat and rest. The rest of the time, they were constantly working. Huge stones were dragged to the front of the palaces. These stones were so big that it required seven or eight adult men to work together to lift them. In the midst of jealousy and exhaustion, it was unknown how many people were crushed to death in the process of carrying the stones.
But even so, the dead people were dragged away directly. The rest of the people did not have time to grieve and were driven to continue carrying the blood-stained stones.
Day and night, those who survived did not feel that they were lucky, only despair.
"I don't know." The middle-aged man sighed helplessly.
The youth bowed his head helplessly, fiddling with his dirty clothes.
"Uncle Liu, I'm afraid …" The youth had just been brought to this palace half a month ago. Because too many workers had died here, the speed of construction had been seriously delayed, so Jiu Gong had brought a new group of people here. This youth and the youth who had just drunk the water had just arrived not too long ago.
"I miss my parents. They said … As long as the palace is completed, I'll be able to go back …" The young man spoke in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly. After being here for almost half a month, he had probably already discovered that this place was basically hell.
The middle-aged man looked at the young boy's face and couldn't help but feel a little worried. This child was still young and shouldn't have appeared here. But now that the Nine Temples had even summoned such a young child, it was obvious that they were a little anxious.
Over the past few days, they had been whipped more and more frequently, and the supervisors' tone was getting more and more impatient. It seemed that they couldn't wait any longer.
