Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

And so, many people secretly began to make contact...

The [Slay the Shepherd Alliance] was established even faster, seemingly driven by unseen forces!
The crisis facing the Great Wilderness Territory has escalated to a new level.

Such an event, of course, could not be kept secret from the three strategists of the Great Wilderness Territory.

As if they knew Lin Mu was at a critical moment, they didn't even send him a single message through the Qiankun Mother-Child Book.

They did their duty while waiting...

No, it wasn't just about fulfilling their duties; they became even more frenzied. The efficiency of the various legions in the Great Wilderness territory in their attacks and plundering actually doubled. It was already doubled, and now it's doubled again, making it four times the initial value.

The Dong Zhuo camp, frustrated by the constant attacks, devised numerous traps, but they were either thwarted or anticipated... and all their efforts were in vain.

Left with no other option, we can only expedite the handover process for the households and expedite the signing of the Heaven and Earth Contract.

We had no choice but to compromise. As time went on, Dong Zhuo's camp was about to carry out their plundering plan!

Because the large army of civilians, after a long journey through mountains and rivers, is almost near Chang'an!
And so, in a spacious canyon, Dong Zhuo's army completely surrounded the canyon.

Afterwards, the main force of civilians entered the canyon... the plundering plan begins!
The recent ordeal has numbed many people... The plundering plan is proceeding exceptionally smoothly.

This plan not only accelerated the handover of households among the common people, but also allowed Dong Zhuo to plunder a terrifying amount of resources and wealth!

Five days after the appearance of the three-colored pillar of light, Guo Jia, representing the Great Wilderness Territory, and Li Ru, representing Dong Zhuo's camp, signed a contract atop a mountain.

"Three chances and we still couldn't destroy those two god-tier warships. Impressive." After signing the contract, Li Ru sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia nodded slightly without saying anything.

"Did you know that I would still take action after I learned that you possessed the supernatural power of 'Knowing Destiny'?" Li Ru asked meaningfully.

"Remember, once you enter Chang'an, you need to be careful," Guo Jia reminded Li Ru instead of answering him.

“I will abide by the rules after entering Chang’an. However, the plan to fundamentally destroy Lin Mu has already been implemented…” Li Ru said quietly.

"Would you be willing to make the difficult decision to release Youzhou and Qingzhou?" Li Ru asked before Guo Jia could respond.

Given Lin Mu's background, if he holds firm to his base in Yangzhou, there is a 90% chance he can survive in the scheming "Zhu Mu Alliance".

However, if Qingzhou and Youzhou are included, the situation is different.

Guo Jia and others must have considered this point... it all depends on their next choice.

Guo Jia smiled faintly, about to speak, but for some reason, a strange look appeared on his face, and he swallowed his words.

Li Ru naturally noticed Guo Jia's unusual behavior.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two parted ways.

After parting ways, Li Ru immediately went to find out about the situation in Luoyang, the capital city.

Sure enough, something was wrong.

The three-colored beams of light disappeared, and the capital city of Luoyang was shrouded in a thick white mist...

Because of the terrible things that happened before, no one dared to go in and investigate anytime soon...

The changes in Luoyang, the capital city, were beyond Li Ru's expectations.

"What exactly happened?" Li Ru was also completely bewildered.

Watching Li Ru's departing figure, Guo Jia silently thought to himself, "With the establishment of the capital Luoyang and the upcoming upheavals, I'm going to be busy!"

"But it's all good, the Fifty Tiger Luck directly blesses me." A look of joy appeared on Guo Jia's face.

Just then, Zhou Tai walked over, overjoyed, and said, "Strategist, I've been directly blessed with fifty Tiger Luck!"

"Our lord has truly accepted the mission of establishing a nation..."

"Good news...good news," Guo Jia said, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Something's not right..." Just then, Guo Jia exclaimed in surprise, as if he had just realized something. He then took out the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book and sent out some information.

He quickly received feedback.

"How is this possible?! Yuan Jianfeng, Feng Jinyouping, Wenze, and the others have all been blessed with fifty Tiger Luck, and the deputy legion commanders have also been blessed with ten Tiger Luck... It's already over five hundred!!" Guo Jia murmured.

"What did Dao Jiu experience there?!" At this moment, Guo Jia was also dumbfounded.

……

Lin Mu, the instigator, was unaware of what was happening outside.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and Lin Mu lost count of how many steps he had climbed. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his strength was greatly depleted, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, because he could feel that the top of the platform was almost within reach. As the distance closed, an even more magnificent, sacred, and alluring aura rushed towards him as if it were tangible.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he took a step, he was already a little dazed and felt the extreme tempering sensation in his body suddenly disappear.

He was covered in sweat and his face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes were bright and clear.

"I've reached the top!" Lin Mu looked at the small treasure chest right in front of him, a hint of regret flashing in his bright eyes: "I still haven't been able to break through to the God Rank!!!"

That's right. Just now, as he ascended the jade steps, he underwent extreme tempering, a transformative tempering of his body, dragon energy, and soul. But even after reaching the top, he couldn't cross that chasm.

Although he didn't break through, he felt that his overall state had changed significantly.

He immediately checked the attributes:

(I won't go into the details of the omitted parts.)
Some of his attributes have skyrocketed!!

Especially the basic attributes, all of them reached 89 points!!!
You see, although he really wanted to improve his basic attributes in a balanced way, his original free attribute points were limited. Even with all kinds of rare and precious materials, it would still be a long way to go to raise them all to 89 points. In particular, each subsequent point would require even more effort.

Unexpectedly, simply climbing the jade steps once resulted in such a significant improvement; the jade steps in this treasure vault are indeed one of the most precious treasures! (End of Chapter)
