Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 328 The mind is clear and the path is stable!

Xia He explained:
“This unknown land symbolizes infinite possibilities, but it may also contain huge crises and needs to be treated with caution.”

As she spoke, she controlled the purple-gold flame at her fingertips. The flame was like a nimble dragon, winding and swimming, and finally landed on the blank area.

The flame burned, but it was not scorching, but more like lighting up. The originally dark area gradually brightened up, revealing rolling mountains, rushing rivers, and dense forests, symbolizing new opportunities and challenges.

The originally monotonous picture has become more vivid and complete because of the changes in this area.

For the emperor, it is normal to control the "known" and explore the "unknown", and to include everything within sight into the territory and make it the territory. Therefore, this area represents "unknown" and "exploration".

Only in this way can the map be considered complete. Seeing this, everyone nodded and began to think about exploring strategies for conquest.

moment……

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said thoughtfully:
"Unknown places are full of uncertainties. I think we should put benevolence first, proceed steadily, explore step by step, and not rush things."

As he spoke, his eyes were deep, as if he had seen all the possible situations that might happen, and there was a hint of caution in his tone.

Sun Quan gently waved his feather fan and said slowly:

"Zhongmou believes that we should adopt a 'balanced' strategy, using the power of all parties to check and balance each other, so as to minimize the risks."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the light spots representing various forces in the picture, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said in a domineering tone:

"Might is supreme! We must quickly take control of this unknown land and leave no future troubles!"

There was a gleam of dominance in his eyes, as if he had already taken this unknown land as his own.

For a moment, everyone expressed their opinions and the atmosphere was lively.

Xia He listened carefully to their suggestions and integrated their ideas into his own understanding of the emperor's way, with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the flames on her fingertips danced more violently, and the mountains and rivers in the picture also changed accordingly. The originally rolling mountains gradually merged, and the rushing rivers gathered into a huge whirlpool, symbolizing the ever-changing situation.

Eventually, the vortex gradually stabilized and formed a huge "Tai Chi" pattern, with yin and yang blending with each other, circulating endlessly.

next moment……

Swish!
Xia He raised his hand and pointed, and the yin and yang separated. The yang rose and the yin sank, turning into a phantom of a world in which countless lives lived.

This is the projection of her own "little world", in which countless countries, races, creatures, humans and gods coexist, and monsters stand side by side.

Now that Xia He is a fox, she naturally represents the demon clan. The shadow changes, and a "Qingqiu" appears in the world.

And since she had just entered the "Jue Ding" and "the beginning of the world", this "Qing Qiu" was naturally the weakest, and he immediately asked for advice from all the "Jue Ding" to exchange the subsequent "opening strategies"!
Just like that, Xia He moved his fingertips, and the purple-gold flame transformed into the phantom of Qingqiu, floating in front of everyone, allowing everyone to see it more clearly. It was as fragile as a newborn baby, waiting for everyone's guidance.

Liu Bei first stroked his beard, looked at the Qingqiu shadow with a kind look, and said slowly:
"Qingqiu was just established, and the people's hearts are not settled. We should govern with benevolence, recruit talented people, improve people's livelihood, and plan slowly."

He paused slightly, then lightly tapped a barren area in the shadow with his fingertips.

"We can build water conservancy projects here, develop agriculture, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

He pointed to another empty space.

"We can build a school here to educate the people, cultivate talents, and lay the foundation for the long-term development of Qingqiu."

Sun Quan waved his feather fan, looked deeply at the shadow of Qingqiu, and said thoughtfully:

"Benevolence is important, but it won't last long if you only rely on it. Qingqiu is a complex place with powerful enemies all around. We need to strike a balance."

He tapped several locations in the shadow with his index finger.

"Support multiple forces, let them check and balance each other, compete with each other, but also depend on each other. Only in this way can we maintain the stability of Qingqiu and prevent one party from dominating and threatening the rule."

He paused and added.

"At the same time, we must develop commerce, exchange what we have and what we don't have, and strengthen Qingqiu's economy."

Cao Cao glanced sharply at Qingqiu's shadow and said in a firm tone:

"Benevolence? Balance? Humph! In troubled times, only might can stand firm!"

He put his five fingers together and chopped downwards like a knife.

"Quickly conquer the surrounding weak forces, expand Qingqiu's territory, and establish absolute authority. Only in this way can we deter the villains and make them dare not invade!"

He paused and said again.

“At the same time, we must also focus on military development and build an elite force to be prepared for emergencies.”

Xia He listened to everyone's suggestions and fell into deep thought. The flames on his fingertips leaped again, and the Qingqiu phantom also changed accordingly.

The towering palace rises from the ground, symbolizing the power center of Qingqiu. Around the palace, complex and exquisite formations emerge, symbolizing the consolidation of rule.

Countless roads extend from the palace to all parts of the world, symbolizing the development of trade...

In the end, a huge barrier enveloped the entire Qingqiu, symbolizing the protection of the homeland and resistance to foreign enemies.

Xia He opened his eyes and showed the perfected Qingqiu projection to everyone, seeking further guidance.

"My dear seniors, Qingqiu has already taken shape, but there are still many shortcomings. I hope you can give me more advice."

She spoke in a humble tone and looked at everyone sincerely.

Liu Bei stroked his beard and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist, you have already mastered the way of the emperor. This layout is quite benevolent, but you still need to be careful..."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the area in the Qingqiu shadow that represented people's livelihood.

"The people are the foundation of a country. We should put the people first, reduce taxes and levies, and be considerate of their feelings."

Sun Quan nodded in approval:

"You have used the balance technique properly, but you still need to be careful..."

His eyes fell on the spots of light representing various forces.

"The key to checks and balances is control. We must not allow any one party to become too powerful, otherwise the balance will be broken and Qingqiu will fall into turmoil."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed:
"Although Qingqiu has great power, we still need to be careful..."

His eyes fell on the area representing military power.

"War is a major issue for a country. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival or destruction. It must be carefully considered. We need elite soldiers and strong generals to defend our country and expand our territory." Xia He fell into deep thought again. The flames on his fingertips kept changing, and the shadow of Qingqiu adjusted accordingly.

She integrated Liu Bei's benevolent policies into people's livelihood construction, making the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is peaceful and prosperous...

She incorporated Sun Quan's balancing technique into the division of power, allowing the various forces to check and balance each other and develop stably...

She incorporated Cao Cao's strategies for power into military construction, making the army invincible and powerful.

Finally, a more perfect Qingqiu virtual image appeared before everyone. It was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace, all forces lived in harmony, and the army was strong, guarding the peace of this land.

"how?"

"Not bad!"

And then...

"Then, my fellow elders, now that Qingqiu has been formed and the Demon Kingdom has been established, there are still large tracts of territory in the world, and humanity is thriving. How should the gods and Buddhas in the heavens deal with it, and how should they further expand their territory?"

Xia He asked again, then narrowed her eyes.

After she finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. Liu Bei spoke first, his eyes were deep, and his tone was calm but powerful:

"Now that the demon nation has been established, the power of the human race is still huge and cannot be underestimated. I think we should adopt a gentle strategy to coexist peacefully with the human race and plan slowly."

He paused, then lightly tapped the outer edge of the Qingqiu phantom, which represented the human territory.

"Through trade, mutual commerce, and cultural exchanges, we will gradually resolve the hostility of humans toward demons, and ultimately achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and demons."

As he spoke, a hint of benevolence flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a bright future of harmonious coexistence between humans and demons.

Sun Quan gently waved his feather fan, frowned slightly, and said after a moment of hesitation:
"Lord Xuande's strategy is indeed benevolent and righteous, but in troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable. I think we should form an alliance with other demon forces to fight against the human race together."

He tapped his fingers a few times around the Qingqiu phantom, representing other demon forces.

"At the same time, we must develop our own strength and strengthen Qingqiu in order to gain a foothold in the troubled times. Only by becoming strong can we be invincible."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said in a domineering tone:

"Benevolence? Alliance? Humph! Pedantic! Severe punishments should be used in troubled times!"

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at Xia He.

"I advocate conquering the human race by force, establishing a new order where the demon race is supreme, and unifying the world!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from him, as if he was a king looking down on the world, declaring his ambitions.

He paused and added:
"Only in this way can we completely resolve the conflict between humans and demons and establish a permanent peace!"

Everyone expressed their opinions and there was a lot of discussion for a while. Xia He listened carefully to everyone's suggestions. She nodded, pondered, and frowned from time to time, incorporating their ideas into her own imperial strategy.

The flames at her fingertips leapt again, and the scene around the Qingqiu phantom changed accordingly. Human cities, immortal caves, Buddhist temples, etc. emerged one after another, forming a more complex world pattern.

The light spots that originally represented the "Family of Heaven and Earth" now have different colors of light. Red represents the human dynasty, yellow represents Buddhism, blue represents the immortals, white represents the rest of the demon forces, and black is still unknown.

Xia He controlled the flames and gradually expanded Qingqiu's sphere of influence...

She first followed Liu Bei's advice and established friendly relations with some human forces through trade, commerce, cultural exchanges, etc. These red spots representing the human dynasty gradually established connections with Qingqiu.

Afterwards, she followed Sun Quan's advice and established an alliance with other demon forces to fight against those forces that were hostile to the demons. The white spots of light began to connect with each other, forming a solid alliance.

Finally, she learned from Cao Cao's strategy of using force to conquer those forces that stubbornly resisted without hesitation, and incorporated their territories into the territory of Qingqiu.

With Xia He's manipulation, Qingqiu's sphere of influence continued to expand. Human cities, immortal caves, and Buddhist temples were successively incorporated into it. The originally complex world pattern was gradually controlled by Qingqiu, and eventually the entire human territory was incorporated into it, forming a new world order centered on Qingqiu!

It was not until this moment that her gaze was turned to "outside the sky".

"My dear seniors, world unification is not the end, but the beginning. The aliens are not friendly, but have ulterior motives. What should we do?"

Flames danced at Xia He's fingertips, and light spots representing "aliens" appeared around Qingqiu's shadow. These light spots emitted a strange black light, like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The flickering flames reflected Xia He's solemn face. She controlled the flames to simulate the scene of an alien invasion. The black light spots spread rapidly, trying to erode Qingqiu's territory. The mountains and rivers in the virtual shadows seemed to tremble at the approach of the black light.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood what she meant.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and slowly said:

"The aliens are powerful and unpredictable. We should focus on defense and consolidate our foundation. We must not underestimate the enemy and rush forward."

As he spoke, he tapped the area around Qingqiu's phantom with his fingertips, and a golden defensive barrier emerged, firmly protecting Qingqiu.

Above the barrier, golden light flowed, like golden dragons circling and dancing, guarding this new land.

Sun Quan, waving his feather fan and with a twinkling look in his eyes, expressed a different opinion:

"The aliens may not be a monolithic entity. We can try to divide and disintegrate them and win over some of them to serve us."

He controlled the flames to separate the black spots of light, and some of the spots gradually turned white, symbolizing the forces that were being won over. He smiled slightly, confident as if everything was under his control.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes:

"The aliens are not kind, we should defeat them with the force of thunder and lightning to deter the villains!"

He controlled the flames, turning them into a raging fire that devoured all the black spots of light. The flames swirled like the roar of a wild beast, displaying his dominance and determination.

Xia He listened to everyone's advice, took a deep breath, and his eyes became determined.

The next moment, she controlled the flames and built layers of defense around Qingqiu, like a solid wall of steel, guarding the peace of this land.

At the same time, she sent messengers made of white light spots to negotiate with some alien forces. The flames danced, and teams of soldiers ready to go appeared, symbolizing that they were ready to fight those stubborn enemies.

In the end, Xia He controlled the flames and perfectly combined Qingqiu's defense system with its offensive force, forming a powerful force with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Standing at the top of the world, he launched the final decisive battle with the aliens.

The flames billowed, the golden light shone, the black light and the white light intertwined together, forming a magnificent picture of war!

Xia He was concentrating on controlling the flames, like a general commanding a vast army...

Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but her eyes were firm and she did not hesitate at all:
"Win!"

Xia He whispered a word, and the flames vibrated violently. The golden light became brighter and suppressed the black light.

Her slender fingers trembled slightly, and the Qingqiu phantom also vibrated, as if responding to her will. The white light spots gradually gained the upper hand, while the black light spots continued to dissipate, symbolizing the retreat of the alien visitors.

At this point, her mind was clear and her imperial rule was stable!
