Chapter 57: The Start of Becoming a God
Li Yuanba's decision forced Li Huan to send his elite troops to fully accept the entire territory of Mohe. The reason why each dynasty did not accept this place was that once they occupied it, the martial arts would spread here. The consequence was that the ruling officials were assassinated, and a great chaos broke out again, making them extremely annoyed! Now Li Yuanba wants to make this place his own territory, so there is no possibility of being assassinated, after all, this place has never appeared a legendary master, even if there is one, it can't cause any harm to Li Yuanba! Just like Yuwen Chengdu, once the people here have the true energy running method, they can almost challenge across levels!
As soon as the army entered this place, Li Yuanba led his men to attack Goguryeo! The reception was simple, and the leader of the local forces was swept away, and no one dared to come out and resist!
At that time, Goguryeo was a national regime existing in the northeastern region of our country and the Korean Peninsula from the 1st century BC to the 7th century AD, together with Baekje and Silla, known as the Three Kingdoms period of Korea. Its people were mainly Xianbei and Buyeo, later absorbing some Mohe people, ancient Koreans and Samhan people. Due to Goguryeo's special geographical location, its territory spanning today's China, South Korea and North Korea, all claim that Goguryeo is the original nation of their own country.
Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla these three countries have a unique ability due to the environment and customs here. This ability is that they can change the terrain of their location, the higher the power, the larger the range! If they will share their powers with each other in an array, it can be comparable to the legendary abilities of "moving mountains and seas" and "turning deserts into oceans". Unfortunately, this ability can only be shown on a personal level.
Conquests between nations are devoid of mercy, and those who dare to follow the great army all have a bit of military might. Ordinary people cannot keep up with the marching speed of the great army! The great army led by Li Yuanba only kills capable people, while the locust-like army behind can be said to be plucking feathers from a goose! A pack of hungry wolves, as long as they appear in front of life, are all about killing, looting and burning - the three lights policy!
In terms of aggression, China is absolutely number one! Especially with its profound cultural heritage, this heritage is also the most terrifying! The Chinese culture is basically a fusion of all cultures, and no other cultural heritage in the world can match the splendor of the Chinese mainland. From a cultural perspective, it is absolutely unique in its ability to absorb and integrate all other cultures. Even the shadows of later Western cultures can be found in Chinese culture! It's said that Chinese culture is implicit, while Western culture is direct, but if you say so, then the person who proposed this view is absolutely pseudo-scientific! How could the profound and subtle Chinese culture be covered by a single word "implicit"? In terms of aggression, this is also a manifestation of Chinese culture, which is like fire. How can it be implicit? The phrase "catch the king first" can illustrate the cultural expression, which is pure and direct!
The power of these sticks can be said to be the nightmare of those who cultivate external skills! A single swamp technique can kill a Tang Dynasty person at leisure.
But for those who have reached the state of controlling their breath, this ability is just a mere novelty, only looking fresh! With a bit of true energy inside, using the body-lifting technique, which is also known as qinggong, this ability is not that difficult to deal with!
They say that in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. This group of locusts followed Li Yuanba and his men to rob things, rob wealth, rob resources... In the end, those who couldn't even get anything started robbing people! They robbed both men and women, these were all labor forces, if they couldn't get any wealth, they could still make them create wealth for themselves when they got back! Moreover, the role of women was even greater.
In this way, the locust army expanded unimaginably! Li Yuan and his men swept through Goguryeo, taking advantage of the momentum to clear out all reachable places one by one, except for those island nations that were too much trouble. They also happened to sweep through Baekje and Silla! Since these places didn't have any benefits worth occupying, Li Yuan's men didn't bother sending troops to occupy them either. However, these places were great for training soldiers - the harsh terrain was perfect for tempering their bodies and willpower! And so, a rule was established where every five years, new recruits would be sent there for training...
Four years later, Li Yuanba dispersed the army and returned to his new territory, the location of the "Andong Duhu Fu" in Liaodong Prefecture, which is now Shenyang!
Li Yuanba's sweep this time directly led to the extinction of some rubbish countries in later generations, and there will never be any history of Korea or other countries here! Incidentally, for example, famous Khitan, Jurchen and other foreign tribes lost their soil for development and became a place for various dynasties to practice martial arts!
"Are you our father? But why haven't you come back to see us for so long?"
Li Yuanba returned home and saw that his children's first words were... Led by Li Yilin, the adorable little face was full of discontent.
Li Yuanba's appearance hasn't changed at all after these years of battles! As soon as he returned to the mansion, he took off his armor and the aura of brutal killings also dissipated, leaving only the lovingness of a father.
"Haha, lovely Yilin, Daddy is doing something big! Come, let Daddy give you a hug!" Li Yuanba hugged the children in his arms and kissed each of them one by one.
"Hey! My father's self-proclaimed titles are too many! One moment it's 'father', the next it's 'dad', I don't know what to call him anymore!" Li Siyue said with a hand on her forehead, feeling frustrated.
"Hmm! Anything is fine, just call me anything! But it's still better to call me Dad, it feels more intimate. Does Little Si Yue miss her dad?" Li Yuanba asked with a loving tone, so similar, just like Du Ling Yue, mischievous and clever!
"Hey! As soon as you come back, you're being affectionate with the kids. Have you forgotten about us?"
Li Yuanba suddenly raised his head, looked at the four girls' resentful eyes, and patted his forehead: "Hehe, why compete with the kids for favor? Hehe, isn't it long at night?"
"You're not afraid of spoiling the child! Let's go and let him play with the kids!" Li Ting said with a blush, and then walked out first.
"What's wrong with Mom? Why isn't she playing with us?" asked four-year-old Li Xing in puzzlement.
"Heh heh, why are you asking so many questions, little kid! Right, Dad?" The cunning and mysterious Li Siyue asked with a strange smile to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba looked at this little elf and felt very depressed. Is this child really only four years old? Could it be that Ling Yue had crossed over from somewhere else?
"Second sister, you have so many ideas! Dad, let's go to the garden and play, there are a lot of fun things to do, and there's even a swing!" Nian Cong looked at Li Yuanba with expectation.
"Let's go, Ningning! Come on, Daddy will take you guys out to play!" Li Yuanba said, picking up Ningning and patting the other three kids as they walked out.
"Alright! I'll lead the way!" Li Siyue waved her hand like a big sister and proudly ran to the front.
"Sister, wait for me! I'll show you the way!" Li Xing rushed out!
"Hehe, Daddy, you have to hold me too!" Li Siyue suddenly jumped into Li Yuanba's arms! Li Yuanba quickly wrapped one arm around Nian Ning and the other around this mischievous imp. Laughing, he said: "You're so spirited! Come on, hurry up and follow us!"
These few children are Li Yuanba's treasures, and the heavenly treasures that were dug up were all sent over by someone. These few spirits had acquired postnatal sevenfold power at a young age! The most direct manifestation was when they played on the swings, with a hundred different moves, scaring Li Yuanba into shouting loudly: "Ah, be careful! Siyue don't do flips on it ah, Ah, Yilin be more elegant ah! Li Xing, you little stinker, are you swinging or is the swing swinging you?! And Nianjing... this little girl, you've turned the swings into a tangled mess..."
In the children's laughter and Li Yuanba's loud shouting, the sky darkened! After dinner, all the children followed their nanny away. Li Yuanba came to the master bedroom and had a fierce battle with the fourth daughter who had been suppressed for four years until dawn! The fourth daughter took turns attacking, but was defeated by Li Yuanba's mighty dragon...
The next day, several children finished their morning exercise and came to shout for Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba easily got rid of the entanglement of the four girls' limbs and took the children to play in the mountains and waters! Li Yuanba's doting made these children so excited that they couldn't bear not seeing him for a day!
The four girls also complained about Li Yuanba, these few kids didn't look for them anymore!
Half a year later, Li Yuan sent news that the large ships had been completed! Under the efforts of skilled craftsmen, the wooden ships were transformed into semi-metallic ships! The increase in defensive power and volume greatly restricted the speed of the large ships. They created a combustion engine based on the principle of true energy circulation, using external true energy to propel the ship! This machine was extremely complex in design, with a huge volume that often malfunctioned! It could only be used while being repaired, so if they were to set sail, they would need to bring a large number of spare parts and technical personnel.
Li Yuanba looked at it and felt that this technology had jumped over several basics, so he proposed whether the jet could be modified to use gears as an auxiliary, driving a swirling thing to achieve the purpose of propelling large ships! However, the jet technology still needs to be simplified and cannot stop the development of this technology. This jet technology is a good thing, and airplanes rely on it!
Due to the locust army's sweep, it brought a large amount of labor force to the Great Tang, making the Great Tang see the benefits of conquest, so they hoped that Li Yuanba would go and sweep other surrounding countries before the big ship was successful!
Li Yuanba wants to spend more time with the kids, so he lets the High Hand Army sweep through the surrounding small countries next week. If they encounter any tough ones, they'll notify him!
Li Yuanba changed his original solitary behavior and was able to take care of others' emotions, which made Li Yuan and the others feel happy! As a result, the interactions between the brothers in the Li family and the next generation improved significantly. The more they interacted with each other, the closer their relationships became! The happiest ones were the children, as the number of playmates directly affected their mood!
But Li Yuanba's family members were always on the move, and he often couldn't see his own children running around to play! However, Li Yuanba was still very reassured, with a legendary master as their bodyguard, who wouldn't be at ease!
The four women's cultivation was also brought to mythical levels with Li Yuanba's help, which made the four women even more moved and dependent on Li Yuanba.
Unfortunately, the people of this world have cultivated to the level of myth and there is no possibility of further improvement! As a result, their self-cultivation has become the only hobby that ends with their lifespan. For example, Wang Bo's dullness uses true energy to develop the effect of invisibility; Yuwen Chengdu also develops a true energy armor for self-defense, which can change shape at will...
Every myth has a different effect, but Li Yuanba can ignore everything and apply it to himself after knowing the principle, which makes others numb!
Li Yuanba's children were in awe of their father when they realized how extraordinary he was, and their admiration for him reached the point of worship!
So Li Yuan's initial deification has been successful! In the eyes of the people of Great Tang, Li Yuan is now a living god - the War God of Great Tang!
