Chapter 902 – War Exempt Card

Prince already represented a huge power over a region, a ruler of a region. Hence, when Ouyang Shuo became a prince, he did not need the imperial city to give him his title. If that happened, it would instead be a humiliation to Ouyang Shuo.

The current Great Xia Dynasty was already on the same level as the nine imperial cities, and there were no differences between them.

The moment the notification sounded out, the world was stunned.

Everyone in the world knew that the Xia King had the highest rank in the world, but no one had thought that it was so high.

Just a month ago, American Region’s Jack had become the world’s second duke. Who knew that in such a short time, Qiyue Wuyi would actually become a prince?

It was a difference of heaven and earth between the two.

Ouyang Shuo was able to rise up so quickly. Apart from the few country wars, it was also because of the upgrade to Capital City and the establishment of the Dynasty; just the two had allowed him to gain him 500 thousand merit points.

Ouyang Shuo felt at ease and that it was justified, and he obtained his reward from the system.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuqi for obtaining a special reward, will you claim it now?”

“Yes!”

This was his third time obtaining a special reward. Each time, he received a different kind of surprise.

“System Notification: Starting to draw special reward…”

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for drawing special reward, obtaining a special tool – War Exempt Card, congratulations player!”

With a white light, a golden card appeared in Ouyang Shuo’s hand.

On the face of the card was a picture of a battle. On the back, a word written in traditional chinese – Exempt!

War Exempt Card: When the territory is fighting outside the territory, there is a chance to exempt war to prevent surrounding territories from attacking, Lasts for one month. Friendly Reminder: War exempt is only effective within the country and is effective immediately.

The War Exempt Card was similar to how territories were unable to conquer one another during a Battle Map except this item was locked on to one territory. Effective immediately meant that before Ouyang Shuo used the card, the territory was not protected.

Similarly, after using the card, if the territory was under attack, it would work immediately, teleporting the enemy troops out of the territory.

It was another rare tool with an interesting function. Who knows when he could use it?

‘Let’s hope that there would not be a time that I have to use it.’ Ouyang Shuo thought to himself as he kept the card in his storage bag. A System Notification sounded out in his ear.

“System Notification: The Battle of Fei River has officially ended, main characters from the Wei Jin northern and southern dynasties have entered the game progression.” … Although war was really frequent during those times, dynasties changed really frequently, and there were really few famous generals and civil servants. It was incomparable to the Three Kingdoms and Warring States eras.

Amongst which, one of the top 10 generals Ran Min, one of the four heroines Hua Mulan, Wang Meng, and one of the top 10 ancient strategists Du Yu were among the standouts.

During the Battle of Fei River, Wang Meng had already died to illness but what was undeniably one of the brightest lights in the northern and southern dynasties.

It was in the scientific and cultural domains that this period prospered, giving rise to a bunch of famous people.

Book saint Wang Xizhi, artist Gu Kaizhi, writer Zuo Si, poet Tao Yuanming, poet Xie Lingyun, writer of the records of the Three Kingdoms Chen Shou, and the like.

One could say that this was a time where the thinking domain prospered.

Although these cultural people were not like civil servants and generals, they could all influence the territory positively.

Slowly influencing was the effect of education.

With the influence of the Great Xia Dynasty, they would probably be able to attract a few of them over.

Following which, there was another System Notification. … “System Notification: Battle of Fei River has officially ended, Wudang, Shaolin, and Wulin have all entered the game.” … Along with the System Notification, in the mountains of the Zhongyuan Province, Jingchu Province Mountain, a huge white light shone and then faded. Wulin and Wudang had officially entered the game.

Huge courtyards were spawned by Gaia. Along with them were different leveled disciples.

In a quiet room in the Songsan Hinterland, a merciful looking old monk suddenly opened his eyes; he looked at the unknown wilderness and said, “Amitabha.”

At the top of Wudang, an old man looked afar and shouted, “Wuliang Tianzun.”

These two were the absolute giants of Wulin; these two leaders were legendary figures, leading tens of thousands of disciples. Their appearances in the wilderness would definitely stir up everything.

Apart from these two, the other sects and factions that were born during the northern and southern dynasties all appeared one by one for players to search for them. At the same time, the relevant dojos were renewed.

Any sect or faction that appeared in the wilderness, the dojo head would be instantly changed into an elite disciple or even an elder. The martial art techniques within the dojo were also renewed.

Apart from the basics, there was a new batch of intermediate and even advanced techniques.

The underworld was going to welcome a new era of conquest and fighting.

“System Notification: Battle of Fei River has offically ended, Emperor Wen Yangjian of Sui has moved into Quanzhou. Quanzhou automatically becomes the Sui Dynasty, Gao Jiong, Yang Lin, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Yu Ju Luo, Su Wei, Yang Su, Yuwen Shu, and the like all automatically follow him. … 581 AD, 2nd month, Emperor Jing of Northern Zhou gave up his throne to Wei Yangjian. He set his country title as Sui and announced his rule of the country.

One could say that Emperor Wen of Sui was the person who ended the northern and southern dynasty. On the other hand, the Sui Dynasty that came from North Zhou could be said to be the one that inherited the Wei Jin northern and southern dynasty.

Due to there being no famous emperors during that period, Gaia decided to combine Sui Dynasty with the northern and southern dynasty. Gaia chose Emperor Wen of Sui to move into Quanzhou, even though it should belong to the Northern Dynasty.

This meant that Sui Tang would not have its own Battle Map, and the next one would jump over it and directly go to Tang.

The generals and officials of the Sui Dynasty appeared together with the emperor, while those in the later stages of the Sui Dynasty would merge with the Tang Dynasty. The remaining would all appear in the wilderness.

Compared to the Wei Jin northern and southern dynasty, the generals and officials in Sui Dynasty were more eye-catching and enough to make one’s eyes turn red with desire.

The formation that appeared in the imperial city was no worse than that of Qin or Han. …… The successive System Notifications dazzled the China region players.

Especially the appearance of Shaolin and Wudang, which made the blood of the adventure gamemode players boil. The moment the System Notification ended, numerous people swarmed into the dojo.

Based on the rules set by Gaia, the sects and factions could not directly accept disciples. If players wanted to join them, they had to join the relevant dojos first.

If one passed and reached the standard required to join the sect, only then could they be officially accepted into the door.

Each sect and faction had different standards and test methods.

Ouyang Shuo’s expression was not relaxed; the generals and officials that the emperor had brought with him into Quanzhou would be a huge challenge to the Great Xia Dynasty that had taken down Minnan Province.

Yangjian was not an emperor who was happy with the status quo. After he got used to the imperial city, he would definitely do something about the awkward situation that Quanzhou was in, where they were surrounded by enemies on all four sides.

The relationship between the two dynasties would definitely sour. … 6th month, 21st day, Xia Palace, Imperial Reading Room.

Ouyang Shuo opened up the territory interface.

After becoming a prince, Ouyang Shuo could see the basic requirements to upgrade to an emperor dynasty and prepare in advance.

“System Notification: checking if the Great Xia Dynasty meets the requirements to apply to upgrade to emperor dynasty…”

“Requirement 1: Lord is at least a prince, requirement met!”

“Requirement 2: Lord’s reputation is at least well-known in the world, requirement met!”

“Requirement 3: Dynasty must at least occupy a third of the situated region, requirement not met!”

This requirement was a little high, especially to a huge region like China. The Great Xia Dynasty had four provinces, but they had not even reached 1/5th of the China region.

For it to become an emperor dynasty was a tough task.

“Requirement 4: Dynasty population must at least pass 5 million, requirement not met.”

With the growth speed of the dynasty, they would need two years to reach this requirement.

“Requirement 5: Dynasty must own at least one territory overseas, requirement met!”

An emperor dynasty must threaten overseas. Naturally, they must have land overseas. Luckily, the Great Xia Dynasty has done many overseas conquests and had long ago met this requirement!

“Requirement 6: territory fate at least reached the 3rd stage Purple fate, requirement met!”

“Requirement 7: At least take down one imperial city, requirement not met!”

This condition meant that for countries with only one imperial city, one emperor dynasty was their maximum. Only super regions like China and America could give birth to many emperor dynasties.

“Requirement 8: Destroy a country, requirement met!”

This requirement and the fifth one coexisted, except this was a little harder.

“Requirement 9: At least have one country advancing treasure, requirement not met.”

The item needed during country establishment was a country establishment treasure, and now it was a country advancing treasure. Although it was just one word, it was akin to the difference between heaven and earth.

Ouyang Shuo was not sure what a country advancing treasure was.

Out of the nine basic requirements, four were not met; the road to emperor dynasty was still a long one.
