The Nine Provinces of the Human Race.

In an era of great contention, the Spring and Autumn Period witnessed the struggle for supremacy.

Initially, there were hundreds of kingdoms. As wars of annexation broke out frequently, small kingdoms were annexed by medium-sized kingdoms, and medium-sized kingdoms were annexed by large kingdoms.

The wheels of time keep turning, and the torrent of history keeps flowing!

Great powers rise to prominence only after undergoing multiple rounds of internal reforms, with power gradually falling into the hands of a few powerful figures.

These doctors were originally members of the royal family and nobility. In order to expand their power, they actively engaged in wars of conquest, and as a result, their power grew ever stronger!

The state of Jin expanded the most aggressively!

The states of Han, Zhao, and Wei joined forces to depose Duke Jing of Jin, and subsequently divided all of Jin's territory into three kingdoms!

Also known as: The Partition of Jin by the Three Families!

boom!

The calamity energy between heaven and earth suddenly surged!

The will of the Great Dao descends: The Spring and Autumn Period of contention ends!

One hundred days later, the second phase of the great struggle will begin: the Warring States period!

This is the story of the Spring and Autumn Period's struggle for supremacy and the Warring States Period's quest for do

The former competes for supremacy within the existing framework, while the latter seeks to establish a new framework that suits its own needs after the existing framework and order have collapsed.

The division of Jin into three states was one of the signs that marked the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period!

flood.

The countless powerful figures who witnessed the collapse of the Jin state's hegemon were shocked, exclaiming, "Holy crap! This is possible?!"

How could the State of Jin have collapsed so suddenly?

"This is so unexpected!"

"I don't understand! I really don't understand!"

"Fellow Daoist Yang Ju, are you there? What do you think?"

Yang Ju Daoist: "Watch it lying down, watch it sitting down..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the collapse of the Jin Kingdom must have been orchestrated by cultivators!"

"Rumor has it that the hegemon of Jin might be the reincarnation of the Chaos God... Who dares to covet the Chaos God's wealth?"

"The First Emperor?"

Master Yangju shook his head, "The reincarnation of the First Emperor has already committed suicide and returned to heaven. Don't throw all sorts of dirty water on the First Emperor."

Knowing that demonic spies had infiltrated the prehistoric world, Daoist Yangju couldn't help but have a bold guess: 'It's probably the work of the demonic path...'

Hongjun laughed until he was numb. "This? That's it? I'll laugh myself to death."

"You always look down on this old Taoist priest? Calling me a lowly demon god?"

"All my hard-earned savings vanished in an instant, haha!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on the auspicious clouds of the heavens, his displeased expression softening slightly, and his gaze fixed intently on the State of Zhao!

The Zhao state that divided Jin!

In his previous life, Yuanshi Tianzun failed to shine in the Hundred Schools of Thought, and his ranking was neither high nor low!

The division of Jin into three kingdoms! A new格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or power dynamics) and power structure have been formed!

For Yuanshi Tianzun, this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!

"Enter Zhao! Use Zhao as our base! Become the new hegemon!"

at the same time.

Deep within chaos.

The Demon God of Cause and Effect was furious. "Damn it! Damn it!"

The State of Jin is the foundation painstakingly built by the God of Cause and Effect!

In the blink of an eye, it was completely divided up!

They have lost the ability to compete for the top spot!

How could the Demon God of Cause and Effect not be angry?

"Rahu! That damned Rahu! He's been holding back for so many years!"

"A mere lowly demon god! How dare he destroy my foundation?"

"This feud must end in death! It must end in death!"

The rewards for the top three winners in this era of great competition are generous; more accurately, they are favored by the Great Dao!

How can it not be considered a foundation of Tao?

Without the foundation of their business, how can the God of Cause and Effect compete?

Relying on raising eyebrows and timing?

Although they are all top-tier demon gods, and it's a time for them to band together for mutual support, little do they know that each of them has their own agenda...

Yang Mei and Shi Chen gritted their teeth, "Who could have imagined that Luo Hou would pull such a drastic move?"

"There's no use getting angry about cause and effect; let's just give it our all."

"The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei originated from the state of Jin. The greatest principles are impartial and just; perhaps you could try joining one of these three kingdoms..."

At this point, there's no use in being angry anymore.

The God of Cause and Effect had no choice but to settle for second best and set his sights on the strongest of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei Kingdom, preparing to split his soul and enter the Wei Kingdom!

Beyond the primordial realm.

The Demon Palace.

Dressed in black, Luo Hou sat atop the Black Lotus of Annihilation, a slight smile playing on his lips. "My years of effort have not been in vain!"

Luo Hou knew his true identity perfectly well: a demonic cultivator!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, if Rahu rashly vie for the position of hegemon and exposes his identity, he will surely be besieged!

They were besieged by disciples of the Xuanmen sect!

After all, the Xuanmen sect is still the mainstream in the prehistoric world!

The three great demons may also take action against Rahu.

That damned Li Yu started the Yuanhui Demon Extermination, killing demons for ten thousand years, causing great damage to the demonic sect's vitality!

At that time, all the reincarnated disciples of the Xuanmen, the Human Race, the Jiejiao, and the Earth Immortal Mansion will besiege the Demonic Path!

It would be difficult for Rahu to achieve anything significant during the Spring and Autumn Period!

But picking up what's readily available is no problem!

Most of the states have been annexed, and a stalemate has been established!

No one dared to rashly send troops to fight against a country, for fear of being the one to "reap the benefits."

And so! Rahu and his demonic disciples lay in deep, silent dormancy! They would seize their opportunity!

To divide up the State of Jin!

The Great Way is impartial! Rahu has been plotting to divide Jin for so many years! He naturally deserves to rule one of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei!

Luo Hou intends to lead his demonic disciples into Wei!

Nothing more!

At the beginning of the division of the three states, the State of Wei demonstrated the greatest strength and had the best foundation.

at the same time.

The ancestral home of humankind.

bamboo forest.

Pangu, using the alias Gu Pan, absorbed five sets of his own three-piece set, and his remnant soul became much more refined.

"Seizing a sliver of hope... if the success rate was 60% before, it's now at least 70%!"

"Don't even mention 60%! For a sliver of hope, Pangu would risk even 10%!"

"Li Yu was right! Luo Hou was plotting behind the scenes, leading to the division of Jin into three states!"

Pangu couldn't help but exclaim, "Such keen insight...it's heaven-defying!"

Time slips away little by little!

The 100-day mark has arrived!

The Great Dao's Will Descends: The Age of Great Contention, Phase Two, the Warring States Period Begins!

hum!

The moment the will of the Great Dao descended!

All the myriad spirits of the primordial world transformed into countless streams of light, surging simultaneously toward the Netherworld!

To split one's soul and reincarnate, and gain the upper hand!

The Primordial Claw of Many Treasures shatters the void!

"Bitter Qin! I'm coming!"

The Qin relay race continues!

Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes shone brightly. "Amitabha! In this life! Chishi will seize the title of the leader of all schools!"

Chi means poverty, and is the name of a master of a school of thought.

"释" means "Western" or "master of a school of thought".

After the deaths of the divided souls of Jieyin and Zhunti, the disciple succeeded them and was promoted to the rank of Red Release!

Simply put: Whoever becomes the leader of the school is the Red Master!

"Let's get back to the world! In this life, I'll take some tonics and try to live a few more years!"

All the myriad spirits of the primordial world split their souls and entered the tribulation a second time!

This ushered in the turbulent Warring States period!

He entered Qi with his eyebrows raised, and remained the hegemon of Qi!

Destiny led him to Chu, and he remained the hegemon of the Chu state!

Rahu had many trump cards up his sleeve, which allowed him to defeat the God of Karma and successfully take control of the Wei Kingdom!

When the Demon God of Cause and Effect decided to settle for second best and enter Zhao, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and his disciples of the Chan Sect had already entered the Zhao Kingdom!

The God of Cause and Effect wept, declaring that he could only enter South Korea, the smallest and weakest of the three kingdoms!

Hongjun continued his journey into the Yue Kingdom. (In the prehistoric era, it had not yet been destroyed by Chu.)

Duobao continued his journey to Qin and became Duke Xiao of Qin.

All of this was within Li Yu's expectations!

Duobao steadfastly implements the national policy set by his brother-in-law:

Wars broke out frequently among the nations; the strong became strong, and the weak perished!

Qin, relying on the strategic passes of Xiaohan and possessing the land of Yongzhou, with its ruler and ministers firmly holding their ground while keeping a watchful eye on the world, harbored the ambition to sweep across the land, encompass the universe, and swallow the four seas, with a heart set on conquering all eight directions.
