The three envoys represented the Yellow Emperor tribe, the Yan Emperor tribe, and the Shang royal family. They were secluded factions that had formed deep ties with Shanhai City on the battle map.
Who would have thought that the establishment of Shanhai City would actually alarm the three great ancient tribes?
The descendants of Yan and Huang were honored.
The three envoys indicated that although the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Shang King could not come personally, they would arrange for their ministers to bring gifts to congratulate the Great Xia Dynasty.
Just as they finished speaking, Ouyang Shuo's mission column changed to: "Founding Mission 3: Congratulations from All Corners. 45/50." This meant that Gaia acknowledged the three ancient factions' congratulations.
Ouyang Shuo suppressed his excitement and sent the three envoys off.
Before the envoy of the Yellow Emperor tribe left, he said to Ouyang Shuo, "His Majesty the Yellow Emperor asked me to pass a message to you. He thanked you for taking care of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Also, although the mountain barbarians are descendants of Chiyou, they are also descendants of China. It is a great merit for you to subdue the mountain barbarians and ascend to the position of Barbarian King. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and immediately understood.
The three ancient tribes had come together because of the opportunities they had formed on the battle map. Ouyang Shuo's welcoming of the You Xiong Tribe from the underground world was also a huge plus.
Others could not be envious of such an opportunity.
As for the Yellow Emperor's attitude towards the mountain barbarians, it was a testament to the emperor's magnanimity. With the Yellow Emperor's' final verdict ', the discrimination the Han people in the territory had against the mountain barbarians would completely disappear.
After sending the envoy off, Ouyang Shuo immediately called Shen Buhai and Zhang Yi over. He got the Shanhai Guards to cooperate with the Chamberlain of Dependencies to secretly release the news of the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Shang King coming to congratulate them.
The world was shocked when the news was released.
It had been three years since the end of the battle of Zhuolu and the appearance of the Yan and Huang tribes in the wilderness. They had been living in seclusion, and no matter how the players searched, they could not find the seclusion of the two tribes.
No one expected them to appear in such a high-profile manner because of Shanhai City. It truly shocked everyone.
There was another heated discussion on the forums. It even overshadowed the hottest topic of the past two days, "Country and Beauty", and once again topped the trending list.
The founding of Shanhai City could be said to be the hope of the masses, and it was the will of the heavens.
At this time, the [Yan Huang Alliance] was in a rather awkward situation. They had used the name 'Yan Huang' in vain and boasted that they were the 'Yan Huang Alliance', but they had gone against the Yan and Huang Emperors on the issue of establishing Shanhai City. It was truly a joke.
The mockery on the forum was endless.
"What [Yan Huang Alliance]? Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang only acknowledged Shanhai City. "
"This is a slap in the face, a complete slap in the face!"
"[Yan Huang Alliance] is too ashamed to show its face. Let's change it to [Narcissistic Alliance], that's more appropriate!"
"I suddenly feel that [Yan Huang Alliance] is so pitiful. They can't even keep their name ~ ~ ~"
"From how I see it, what the [Yan Huang Alliance] should do right now is to bring their gifts to Shanhai City. That way, they'll at least be on the same side as the Yan and Huang Emperors. Otherwise, wouldn't that just be nonsense?!"
"Why does it feel like there's a sudden change?!"
…
No one knew how Di Chen and the others would feel when faced with such accusations. However, as soon as the news spread, some neutral leaders immediately accepted Shanhai City's invitation.
Ouyang Shuo's Quest Panel was constantly jumping, and by the afternoon of the 16th, it had reached 49/50. He only needed one more to complete the third Quest.
At this moment, an explosive piece of news came out.
Blood Red City's Battle Wolves had accepted Shanhai City's invitation, and would represent the [Yan Huang Alliance] at the Great Xia Dynasty's coronation ceremony.
As soon as the news came out, it caused another wave of uproar.
It was one thing for players to tease on the forum, but no one expected that the [Yan Huang Alliance] would actually lower their heads.
Although this was a small matter, it was very significant. It meant that the [Yan Huang Alliance] had officially admitted defeat to Shanhai City. It was likely that they had completely given up on trying to stop Shanhai City's rise, and only wanted to protect themselves.
From now on, the situation in China would definitely change.
There was no longer any dispute as to who would be the leader of the China region. It would definitely be Ouyang Shuo.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he thought even further than normal players. The [Yan Huang Alliance] made this decision after making an accurate judgement of the current situation, and in order to protect themselves, they made a huge change in strategy.
By lowering their heads, they were actually retreating in order to advance.
The [Yan Huang Alliance] was indeed an expert in politics, they were able to rise and fall with ease. The current situation in the wilderness was that Overlord City and Shanhai City were engaged in close combat, and a war could break out between the two sides at any time.
If they really fought head on, the [Yan Huang Alliance] did not have the confidence to win.
Rather than that, they might as well choose to lower their heads to Shanhai City, and admit that Shanhai City was the overlord of the China region. In exchange, Shanhai City would promise not to attack the [Yan Huang Alliance], and both sides would temporarily cease hostilities.
Under such a situation, if Shanhai City continued to attack the [Yan Huang Alliance], the [Yan Huang Alliance] would probably have a whole set of methods to slander Shanhai City.
The [Yan Huang Alliance] did not feel any pressure saying that Shanhai City only knew how to fight amongst themselves, and that their disciples would only exhaust the strength of the China region.
Ouyang Shuo indeed did not want to go head on with the [Yan Huang Alliance] at this point in time. The Great Xia Dynasty's strategy for the next period of time was to focus on external forces and not internal forces.
He did not forget the wild ambitions of the Japanese and other countries, who had always been eyeing the China region.
The [Yan Huang Alliance] definitely had an expert guiding them from behind the scenes, who could even be their elders. This move of "retreating in order to advance" cleverly resolved the crisis in front of them, and won precious time to accumulate their strength.
It looked like they had lost face, but in reality, they had won their foundation.
Perhaps in the future, they could divide the north and south of Shanhai City, which was a good choice for the [Yan Huang Alliance].
"A good crisis PR!" Ouyang Shuo commented.
After thinking through the entire situation, Ouyang Shuo let out a sigh of relief.
The [Yan Huang Alliance]'s temporary compromise allowed Ouyang Shuo to focus on overseas battles. The Mediterranean Sea, Morocco, Annam, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries were all waiting for the Great Xia Dynasty to explore and fight.
The world was boundless, why should they be content with just one corner?
After the Battle Wolf Warrior accepted the invitation from Shanhai City, a large number of lords immediately accepted the invitation. On the night of the 16th, the mission panel had become "Nation Building Mission 3 [Congratulations from All Sides], 57/50."
When the Battle Wolf Warrior accepted the invitation, Ouyang Shuo heard the system notification.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Don't Say You Have Nothing to Wear, Nation Building Mission 3 [Congratulations from All Sides] has successfully gathered 50 lords to attend the ceremony. Mission accomplished, congratulations to player!"
…
"System notification: Congratulations to player Don't Say You Have Nothing to Wear, all three Nation Building Missions have been completed. You can apply to establish a nation at any time, and build an extraordinary foundation. Congratulations to player!"
With this, the coronation ceremony the day after tomorrow could finally proceed as scheduled. Ouyang Shuo secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, the reason why Shanhai City was able to successfully complete the three Nation Building Missions was basically because they met the Underground World's You Xiong Tribe.
"Just because of this, I have to do my best to help the You Xiong Tribe." Ouyang Shuo understood how to repay kindness.
… …
Ouyang Shuo was relieved, but some people were regretting to the point of their intestines turning green.
Sky City, a small courtyard in the west of the city.
Night fell, and the Federation President was enjoying the cool air in the backyard. Sky City was situated above the clouds, and when he raised his head to look at the starry sky, he saw the dazzling stars, the upside-down Milky Way, and all the stars in the sky. It was an indescribable enjoyment.
Being here, it was as if he had become one with the entire starry sky, and he couldn't help but feel carefree. However, the Federation President wasn't in a carefree mood. On the contrary, he was a little depressed.
"I've really miscalculated this time!" The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gaia, who was standing not far away, gazed at the starry sky in the depths of the universe, and didn't turn his head.
The Federation President didn't mind, and he continued saying, "I didn't expect this young friend to have such a wide network, and such great fortune to be able to gain the appreciation of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang. Now, we've made a wrong move, and we've lost everything. "
When the Federation President knew that the Silver Hand was resisting Shanhai City's Nation Building Mission, he was ready to take action. As long as he mobilized the power of the Academies, he could immediately help Shanhai City complete the Nation Building Mission.
However, the Federation President's thoughts were complicated, and he wanted to forgive Ouyang Shuo first. In his words, "Let's take this opportunity to temper Ouyang Shuo's character. It can also be considered a kind of experience for the young."
According to the Federation President's arrangements, he was prepared to mobilize the power of the Academies on the 17th of April, which was the day before the coronation ceremony, to help Shanhai City at the last moment.
This was called sending charcoal in snowy weather.
Who would have thought that this time, he didn't expect that Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang would suddenly make such a move.
Now, even without the help of the Academies, Shanhai City had already completed the Nation Building Mission, and it was done very beautifully.
This made the Federation President feel awkward.
"I'm afraid that our young friend is going to have a problem with us!"
The Federation President shook his head in amusement. Once again, it was proven that the game was not reality. Things in the game were ever-changing, and it wasn't something that he, the Federation President, could control.
In the end, the problems in the game still had to be solved by the game itself.
This was called "learn from your mistakes."
Whether it was the [Yan Huang Alliance] or the [Silver Hand] that had just revealed their whereabouts, they were all frustrated and at a disadvantage in the competition with the "inconspicuous" grassroots force of Shanhai City.
One of the root problems was that they were still using the thinking of reality to solve the problems in the game.
As it turned out, they were too arrogant.
The game world derived from Gaia was far more complicated than they had imagined.
Every time Shanhai City averted danger and counterattacked, it was all because of the foundation of the game. In this regard, even the Silver Hand, which was so powerful that it made the Academies feel powerless, was far inferior.
The Federation President looked up at the starry sky and finally said, "I think we have to do something."
