Thunderbolt: I Became the Human Emperor in the Bitter Realm

"That's true, but now that the catastrophe has struck China, the damage to the Divine Pillars is even more terrifying, I'm afraid..."

Chen Yu nodded after hearing this. This was a great catastrophe, but it was something that could not be reversed, and it was hard for people to resist.

"Catastrophe is imminent; we must deal with it."

This is the only thing he can do; it's not something he can stop now.

In truth, he didn't intend to do much to stop it; he simply wasn't strong enough to do so.

It can only be said that it was a result of helplessness, and it's not really a problem, though it's quite obvious.

"It can only be left to those big shots. I'm just a junior and can't do anything. It's been a long time since I've been back, and I should go back for a visit."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiaxian immediately panicked. How could they abandon their responsibilities? Shouldn't they be taking charge?

Okay, so you just say you're a junior or a junior and that's it? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

But Chen Yu left without hesitation, showing no intention of staying.

Qin Jiaxian was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Of course, some people feel that it is indeed not advisable to get involved now. The time is not right, and since they cannot change the overall situation, what can they do? They can't do anything.

It's better to stay put and quietly accept it.

This is a fact, and it reflects Silent's inner thoughts, which are quite evident.

Understanding is one part, and ability is another; there's no need to overthink it, it's just the best outcome.

Chen Yu's retreat was not out of fear of the Otherworld, but rather to better prepare for the upcoming war between the demons and gods.

"Don't worry, he can't avoid this battle, and there's no way for him to escape it. You'll find out later."

Tan Wuyu understood even more clearly that no one involved in all of this could escape it; this was just the beginning.

"Besides, Senior Yi Ye Shu and the others are already making preparations. They will naturally enter the arena when the time is right."

"Alright, we understand."

"Let's disperse. The main thing now is to ascertain the time, especially any possible accidents. We need to pay attention to these, otherwise it could become a major disaster. These kinds of consequences need to be dealt with."

0...0

"Alright, let's do it this way. Hopefully, more strong individuals will join us so that we can save this place from peril and danger."

They are all ambitious people, so they naturally know the pressure involved.

At this moment, Ye Xiaochai was also controlled by the demon, which made the people of the Bitter Realm tremble and worry.

Countless conspiracies are constantly unfolding, and clearing them away is no easy task, so it's impossible to easily adopt a hostile attitude.

The machinations of numerous forces within the Bitter Realm Central Plains have brought even greater disaster to the righteous path.

The consequences are also undeniable.

But what is destined to happen will happen eventually. Nothing is impossible, and the final result will be the most domineering consequence.

At this moment, the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm is once again plunged into a great crisis. While many righteous people are busy running around, they are even more curious about what kind of inner realization this is.

The changes at this moment are an undeniable fact, and also a memory in one's heart, which is quite evident.

This kind of changing situation also shows that the general trend is inevitable.

Chen Yu's departure from the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm at this moment was not intentional avoidance, but rather for other purposes.

The purpose of this was to address the impending crisis in the Northern Corner, which required his return to oversee the situation.

Furthermore, all preparations need to be made, since the collapse of the Divine Pillar of China is already predetermined, and he needs to handle it properly to avoid any mishaps.

Chapter Sixty-One: Setting Up Defenses in the Northern Corner

North corner, north corner.

When Chen Yu stepped back, it had changed quite a bit.

The people lived in peace and contentment, commerce flourished, roads between villages were unobstructed, and thieves did not exist.

While it's not quite a case of "no one picks up lost items on the road" or "doors are left unlocked at night," life is still quite peaceful.

The intention behind it is evident that there is repression within, but it is also an explanation of one's inner thoughts, which brings both satisfaction and joy.

Chen Yu was quite pleased to see this scene. In fact, this was the reason why he had never wanted to get involved in the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm.

Although the northern corner is not large, at least the people live in peace and contentment, leading a tranquil and peaceful life. This is a good thing, and it is a fact that reflects the change in people's hearts. So there is no need to worry about it. All these plans are naturally understandable.

What one desires in one's heart is where one's destiny lies; once this is understood directly, there's no need for pretense.

Listening to the cheerful "090" sounds is the best way to enjoy life.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

“Get up! You have all done a good job. The people are living in peace.”

"It's all thanks to His Majesty's good instructions. With the general direction in place, we can then take action."

The general direction for Chen Yu is quite effective; as long as he persists, he will naturally be safe and sound.

All of this destiny is not predetermined; as long as you persevere, it is not difficult to achieve.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

After everyone returned to the palace, Chen Yu changed his clothes and sat on the throne, with the ministers standing on both sides.

He glanced at it and said, "This solo journey through the Bitter Realm of the Central Plains has been quite fruitful, but I also have a premonition that great calamity is coming. Dangers in the Bitter Realm are probably everywhere, so we need to make arrangements in advance."

Grand Tutor Yu Jie flew forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this so-called danger?"

Chen Yu did not hide anything: "The demon god behind the Otherworld is about to descend upon the Bitter Realm. Although the Central Plains is his main target, it is not without danger. The power of the demon god is ultimately too vast. I do not want the Northern Corner to be affected."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood the reason, and the emperor hurriedly returned.

"Your Majesty, even so, how can we prevent this?"

This is a very troublesome matter. Once the demon god descends, even if he does not launch an offensive, it will still endanger the northern corner.

The ministers couldn't help but feel worried.

"There is no need to worry about this for now. The purpose of returning is to cover up the northern corner of the land and use the natural order of heaven and earth to temporarily avoid this calamity."

"The Way of Heaven and Earth?"

Everyone was puzzled. At this moment, Lonely Marquis and the others who had rushed over to see Chen Yu were all curious.

Mu Shaoai couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu looked at Lian Emei and said, "Senior Lian Emei, do you possess any items related to the Five Elements?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Emei waved her hand and said, "These are the five elements I have collected. Your Majesty may take a look."

Looking at it, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of a senior, he had so many good things. These five elements should be enough to achieve the most perfect result.

"That should be enough, but just in case, we need to build cities or military fortresses in these places. Those are the most dangerous places. Once the power of the five elements becomes too much to resist, we will need their contribution."

The ministers all understood his meaning. As soldiers of the dynasty, they naturally had to fight for the dynasty their whole lives. All of this was known and was a fact. As long as they persisted, it would be the best way.

Fighting for the benefit of more people is their glory.

"Your Majesty, we understand."

"Alright, I won't say much more. Let's get started right away. I'll be going back into the Bitter Realm afterward. I can't let the Demon God notice the Northern Corner. I can't stay in the Northern Corner for long, or I'll be targeted."

Lian Emei and the others knew about his affairs in the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm, so they naturally had plenty of information. They also knew that he was confronting the Otherworldly Demon Realm, so they naturally became the top priority. Although he had returned to the Northern Corner, it was hard to guarantee that the other side would not give up.

It's clear that Chen Yu's purpose in returning this time is to improve the security of the Northern Corner.

Soon, five military fortresses began to be built in the area between the northern corner and the central plains of the Bitter Realm.

In addition, the northern corner is located in a remote area in the north of the Bitter Realm, which is overseas, so the area is not large.

As for the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm, it is a very large area, but in fact, many places called the Central Plains are actually quite different. It is just a boundary. The Central Plains is the one that occupies the dominant position in the Bitter Realm.

With the establishment of the five military fortresses, Chen Yu arranged the five elements and began to set up the formation.

"Refine the five elements, transform all things, merge with the earth's veins, protect the northern corner, unite..."

The five military fortresses, appearing according to the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, provided people with even more opportunities.

Improved military defenses will be a great help in the future, whether or not they are used effectively.

Each of the five military fortresses is garrisoned with over five thousand soldiers, all skilled warriors who have cultivated martial arts, so their combat prowess is naturally quite good. This forms the foundation of the Seven Star Dynasty in the Northern Corner.

After securing the five major military fortresses, the remaining outer perimeter construction began.

There's a lot to do this time.

In the geomancy study, Chen Yu and other experts worked together.

This is to prevent the earth's veins from collapsing, causing the ground to crack and mountains to crumble, which would be even more disastrous.

Lian Emei and the others understood perfectly well that it was indeed to stabilize the earth's veins, and if absolutely necessary, they could only protect themselves by avoiding the fissures in the earth and forming a natural fissure zone with the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm.

This is a last resort, and it hasn't happened yet. All we can say is that we hope things don't go as badly as they could, otherwise we really won't be able to handle it.
