Chapter 79: The New Unrivaled That Can Only Be Used After Death
"How ridiculous!" Li Yuanba disdainfully looked at the moving metal puppet!
It's clear that all of this is being controlled by the spiritual body, and even the murmurs of the dead are emitted by that spiritual body. Li Yuanba didn't even bother to summon his hammer, and with just his bare hands, he dismantled all the metal puppets in the great hall. As expected, inside each of those human-sized metal puppets was a desiccated corpse! He directly summoned his true form, ignoring the metal coffin, and instantly grabbed out the hiding dog, swallowing it whole and merging it into his true body!
Li Yuanba walked out of the golden pyramid, letting the soldiers enter and move all the valuable items out, including the golden coffin with Pharaoh's body and the broken puppet.
The true Double Awakening Technique's derivation is still suspended due to insufficient energy, this represents that Li Yuanba needs to absorb more of such spiritual bodies!
Li Yuanba ordered the soldiers to collect all the valuable items from the Jinzi Tower and surrounding households, bury them in one place, bring enough supplies to go elsewhere to plunder, he wanted to plunder all the golden pagodas that could be found!
A lesson from the past, Li Yuanba summons the Flame Armor in this scorching land and charges forward to search for other Pyramids!
In the year 654, when Li Yuanba and his men had swept away all the golden pyramids of Egypt, led by his wife, leading half of the ships back to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was already a world of earth-shaking changes!
The growth of the new generation has nearly doubled the population of Datang, but this is still not enough to manage the vast territory! In order to govern, the high-level officials of Datang can only abandon some of the land they originally occupied and implement the policy of vassal states. The territories that were once part of Rosu are not considered for return, only small countries can apply to rebuild their nations. After rebuilding, Datang only sent a few hundred people's supervision team to supervise these effects, but did not allow them to have their own national army! The mining rights of strategic minerals such as mines are all managed uniformly by Datang, which guarantees the safety and stability of Datang's rule! During this period, there were many wars against Datang's rule, but without the protection of high-end military power, these weak resistances could only increase Datang's anger, and the bloody suppression resulted in those foreign people who had always been thinking of rebuilding their country to be heartbroken and desperate.
After years of rule and rapid technological advancements, the emerging technologies have brought about completely different changes in architecture and lifestyle within the Tang Dynasty. When Wang Ting and her companions returned to the Tang Dynasty, they thought they had entered a new world and almost didn't know how to find their way back home!
The enormous wealth of these tens of ships made Li Shimin overjoyed, but the current treasury is in a hurry, and there are too many places to spend money! Moreover, the previous management obviously couldn't keep up with the pace of the times, making Li Shimin feel powerless! Therefore, the institutional problems and changes in management are imminent, but this requires a large amount of capital investment to verify which institutions and management are suitable.
The arrival of this enormous wealth enabled Li Shimin to carry out a series of reforms. When they heard that Li Yuan would continue to conquer and the subsequent wealth would flow back to the Tang Dynasty, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty all put down their anxious hearts! The current Tang Dynasty has no living space for aristocratic families, under Li Shimin's iron-fisted management, all aristocratic families have been dispersed, and a large number of cold-door politicians have also made the previously arrogant aristocratic sons lose their protective umbrella, and can only nostalgia for the former glory.
If Li Yuanba comes back, he will be absolutely surprised to think that he has returned to modern times! The use of concrete and steel has led to the demolition and rebuilding of most of the flat houses in the Tang Dynasty. High-rise buildings are now popular all over the Tang Dynasty! Nowadays, ordinary people have a lot of money, and almost every family is building small high-rise buildings with various shapes and strange designs. Due to the vast land and sparse population, the residential buildings in the Tang Dynasty are huge and frightening. However, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty also strictly regulate road construction and absolutely do not allow private buildings to occupy three meters on both sides of the road! This is the result of Li Yuanba's suggestion to Li Shimin before he left: "We Chinese people have always been fond of building houses since ancient times. Now that people in the Tang Dynasty are rich, they will definitely build big houses in the future! It doesn't matter how big the house is, but the roads must be strictly restricted, otherwise traffic congestion and impassable roads will appear!"
At first, the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to these things. But when it came to building houses, the inferior nature of the Chinese people was fully displayed! Even in the middle of already built roads, there were buildings that intentionally expanded their mansions to the edge of the road, and those who did so were countless! This kind of excessive construction made people miserable, eventually leading to bloody incidents! Which of the Tang people today is not a bit fierce? Being arrogant and proud is not enough to describe these bloodthirsty Tang people! In the end, Li Shimin realized the severity of this matter and forcibly demolished all the obstructive and excessive buildings, rebuilding them from scratch. Those who refused were put to death! At the same time, this also proved the benefits of autocracy, where there was no need to consider anything else.
Li Yuanba finally absorbed enough energy, and a new Musou technique was also derived - Domain of the Gods!
This Musou technique can only be used once in a lifetime! It belongs to a special passive skill, and it's also an automatic skill! The moment Li Yuanba dies, the skill will automatically activate and form a huge spherical domain with itself as the center, covering thousands of miles! Anyone who enters the domain with malicious intent towards Li Yuanba's body will be annihilated by Li Yuanba! Its properties are similar to the Pyramid Guardian Spirit Body, but its effects are far superior to the Pyramid's!
It can keep Li Yuanba's body active at all times until the day the earth is destroyed! Anyone in the domain is deprived of any energy usage, and its reverse heaven auxiliary function makes Li Yuanba's corpse fearless of heavenly disasters! Most importantly, after Li Yuanba's death, as long as there is his bloodline using life as a price, it can make his body autonomously kill all living beings or puppets in the domain that want to kill him for a short time! If you want Li Yuanba's body to be destroyed, unless people develop a weapon that can instantly destroy a planet, it is impossible!
"Haha, it seems that I can only be truly invincible after becoming an undead... Li Yuanba looked at the introduction of this new Wu Shuang and was speechless! However, this also provides a guarantee that Li Yuanba's descendants will continue to thrive! But there is another restriction here, which is that after Li Yuanba dies, he can only stay in his position before death, and no one can move him!"
Li Yuanba is now leading a large army to the edge of the Byzantine Empire, and he needs to get himself in order! Although this new Musou technique can't be used yet, the spiritual skills that come with it can be applied to ordinary skills! Each time the flame scorching injury is added to the mental intimidation, the effect is terrifying! The range attack has increased from a few meters to tens of meters, especially the mental intimidation that directly affects people's willpower, making them become idiots even if they don't die, which is more painful than death!
The appellation of the Byzantine Empire in Chinese history is numerous, with Fulin being the term used in medieval Chinese historical texts to refer to the Byzantine Empire. In ancient times it was also known as Daqin (with the opening of the Silk Road in the 2nd century BC accelerating the exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations, China at that time considered the Roman Empire to be a highly civilized country like China itself, with Rome being located at the end of the trade route, thus naming it "Daqin") or Haixi. At different times in history, this name sometimes also referred to other regions on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean such as Syria. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, it was used to refer to the Seljuk Turks who ruled over Anatolia.
This name is written as "Pu Leng" in the Book of Wei, Gaozong Ji and Xianzu Ji. In the Northern History, Western Regions Biography, it is written as "Furuni (Fūrūmi)". In Volume 11 of Xuanzang's Records of the Western World, under the entry for the country of Poluo, it is written as "Fu Lun", while in Daoshi's Fayuan Zhulin, Volume 39, and the quoted Liang Zhi Gongtu, it is also written as "Fu Lun". In Hui Chao's Journey to the Five Sky Regions, it is written as "Da Fu Lin", while in Du Huan's Records of Travels, the Book of Sui, and the Old Book of Tang, it is all written as "Fu Qian". These various different translations are all phonetic transcriptions of the Iranian language family's Frwm (Sogdian language: Frōm), Purum (Parthian language: Prom), Hrōm or Hrūm (Middle Persian).
The culture and language of the Byzantine Empire were mostly Greek, militarily different from ancient Rome, after the Roman split into Eastern and Western Rome, Western Rome inherited the infantry phalanx combat method of ancient Rome, while Eastern Rome began to try to replace infantry with heavy cavalry as the main force. Since the 17th century, Western historians have introduced the term "Byzantine Empire" to distinguish the medieval Roman Empire from the ancient Roman Empire. This name comes from its capital Constantinople's predecessor: the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium.
Li Yuanba was completely unaware of these, but for him the names of any countries in this era were meaningless. What he had to do was to plunder! Leave his bloody legend in every country in this world!
