Transmigrating to the Primordial Era as a Peerless Great Witch, Changing Fate in the Primordial Worl

The projection of Wei Xiaobao stood alone on the star-gazing platform at the highest point of the city lord's mansion.

Looking down at Yangzhou, a city more prosperous than ever before, its lights shining like a galaxy in the night, I felt a surge of pride and my thoughts were racing.

The "Statue of Creation" sub-body in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and the light of creation flowed, as if echoing his determination at this moment.

The vast and pure power of faith from Yangzhou and the newly occupied regions flowed like a warm tide.

It constantly washes over and nourishes his body and soul.

This allows him to more clearly "perceive" the flow of the "national destiny" and the subtle changes in the world's overall situation.

The time is ripe.

Once the mind is made up, there is no more hesitation.

He immediately turned around and gave a stern order to the guards standing in the outer corridor:

Order that all civil and military officials in Yangzhou City, regardless of rank, be summoned to the council hall of the city lord's mansion immediately.

Important matters need to be discussed, and there should be no delay.

"Yes, Lord City Lord." The guard replied sternly and hurried off to relay the order.

Before long, the city lord's mansion, which had been quiet due to the night, was once again brightly lit and bustling with people.

Upon receiving the urgent order, civil and military officials at all levels, whether on official business or already resting, dared not delay in the slightest and quickly dressed themselves.

They rushed from all directions and gathered in the spacious and solemn council hall.

The huge tallow candles in the hall illuminated every corner as bright as day.

Because Zhou Yu was leading his western expeditionary army in fierce battles against Qing troops and local forces on the front lines in Fujian and Zhejiang,

Li Shize was dealing with the remnants of Wu Sangui's forces and local chieftains in Yunnan, and neither of them were present.

But almost all the other important officials were present.

The civil officials, led by Yang Wen, looked respectful.

The newly promoted military officers, those who had surrendered from other forces and were entrusted with important responsibilities after being assessed, all had solemn expressions and piercing eyes.

Even more noteworthy is the Legislative Cabinet Chairman, Li Dian.

He also stood at the front of the civil officials' ranks, accompanied by Zhao Yun and several other elite guards whose auras were composed and clearly indicated they had mastered external martial arts.

His expression was calm, but his eyes shone with wisdom and determination.

The crowd stood in order of rank, and although the hall was crowded, it was completely silent.

All eyes were focused on the still-unseen main seat, and everyone wondered what the city lord wanted in such a late-night summons.

Could there be a major change at the front?

Or is another powerful enemy about to invade?

Before long, a series of steady footsteps came from the back room.

The projected Wei Xiaobao was dressed in plain black clothes, without armor, but his gait exuded an unyielding and authoritative majesty.

He slowly walked to the head seat, but did not immediately sit down.

Instead, his gaze swept slowly across the faces of every official in the hall, as if it could penetrate their hearts, causing everyone to subconsciously straighten their backs and become even more respectful.

"Lord of the City, what urgent military or national matter warrants your summons us here so late at night?"

With Zhou Yu and Li Shi absent, Li Dian, as the head of the civil officials, stepped forward first, cupped his hands, and asked in a steady voice, breaking the silence.

The projected Wei Xiaobao withdrew his gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly as he once again surveyed the crowd.

It was as if they wanted to take in everyone's reactions.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears, carrying an unwavering and unquestionable determination:

"The world is in chaos now, war is raging everywhere, people are displaced and living in misery."

Yangzhou has well-trained soldiers and ample provisions, newly established laws and regulations, and the people's hearts are with us; our fortunes are at their peak.

Now that we have this strength, we can no longer stand idly by and watch the people of the world continue to sink into misery, nor can we allow this land of China to be ravaged by endless war and bloodshed.

He paused, then his tone suddenly became impassioned and resounding:

"I, the city lord, have decided that from this moment forward, I will devote all the strength of Yangzhou to launching an expedition to pacify the world and rebuild the universe."

Let's end this chaotic world, restore peace to the people, and bring back a clear blue sky to the world.

This war is not for the private gain of any one family or clan, but to save all people from suffering and to usher in an era of lasting peace.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire council hall fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and earth-shattering decision.

Although I know the city lord aspires to rule the world, and although Yangzhou has been expanding rapidly recently,

But no one expected that this day would come so quickly and so decisively.

To pacify the world?

This means waging a full-scale war against all the remaining forces in the world, including the crumbling but still powerful Qing Dynasty, the ruthless and cunning remnants of the Three Feudatories, the elusive Heaven and Earth Society, and other warlords who control their own territories.

This is an ultimate gamble that will determine the fate of the nation.

However, after a brief moment of shock and silence, there was no questioning or opposition.

Rather, it was a long-suppressed fervor and excitement that erupted in everyone's hearts like a volcano.

Yangzhou's current prosperity is entirely due to the city lord's great talent and strategy.

Which of these followers didn't hope to one day follow their lord to conquer the world and leave their mark on history?

"My lord, we will obey your orders. We swear to follow you to the death, to pacify the world, and to rebuild the universe."

After a long while, led by Yang Wen and Zhao Yun, all the civil and military officials in the hall, whether civil or military, knelt on one knee, clasped their hands in salute, and roared like a mountain collapsing.

His voice was filled with excitement, fervor, and unconditional trust.

They believed that under the city lord's leadership, Yangzhou would be invincible.

Li Dian gazed at the projected figure of Wei Xiaobao, tall and straight as a pine tree with piercing eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and an indescribable excitement and pride welling up in his heart.

He thought to himself:

"Are we finally going to make a move?"

OK, great.

I practice the Legalist way and study the art of governing a country so that one day I can promote this philosophy to the world and establish a legal order that will last for all ages.

Now that the city lord has made his decision, it is time for me, Li Dian, to realize my grand ambitions and govern the world with the rule of law. This chaotic era will end, and the new dynasty will be founded on the "law" in my hands.

"Li Dian".

The projection of Wei Xiaobao's voice pulled Li Dian back from his turbulent emotions.

"Your subordinate is here."

Li Dian immediately composed himself, stepped forward, and bowed in response.

The projected Wei Xiaobao gave him a deep look, his eyes filled with trust and entrustment, and gave the order in a deep voice:

"I, the city lord, command you to immediately muster 30,000 elite troops, carrying sufficient provisions and weapons, and rush to the Yunnan front to join Li Shi."

Your official mission is to oversee the army, but in reality, you are to assist Li Shi in coordinating the war effort in Yunnan.

We must completely defeat Wu Sangui's remnants and pacify Yunnan in the shortest possible time.

Not only must we achieve military victory, but we must also closely follow the military advance and rapidly implement the Yangzhou New Laws throughout Yunnan to establish effective rule.

"You can completely transform Yunnan into a secure rear base for Yangzhou, as well as a source of manpower and supplies. Can you do that?"

In recent years, Li Dian has not only achieved remarkable political results, but also implemented new laws with swift and decisive action.

It seems that, because of its position at the core of "legislation" and its wielding of legal authority, it has a subtle connection with the "national destiny" of Yangzhou.

His own martial arts skills are profound, and his control over his spirit and "momentum" has improved by leaps and bounds.

Sending him to the front lines would allow him to utilize his strategic planning abilities and establish order through law, thus preventing any signs of warlordism. This would be a perfect example of making the best use of his talents.
