Chapter 1471: 981 Possesses the Land of Three Continents_2

Times have changed, the Ancestral Land in the hearts of the Human Race has become more and more sacred. Not to mention these ordinary people, even those cultivators who have achieved a state of immortality also yearn to enter the Ancestral Land.

That place once housed the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as the generations of the Human Race that lived there. Living there, under the majesty of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even doing nothing, one would eventually become immortal.

Who wouldn’t yearn for such a sacred place? It is even more desirable to mortals than the Heavenly Realm!

"Tsk tsk..."

"So, you want to go to the Ancestral Land?"

Perceiving the disappointed expressions of the people, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel amused.

Indeed, being part of the Human Race, who wouldn’t yearn for the Ancestral Land? To think that earning a spot to enter the Ancestral Land is even harder than becoming an emperor.

"Your Majesty, who wouldn’t yearn for such a sacred place like the Ancestral Land?"

During this period, the people had also come to understand Jiang Chen’s character. How to put it, all their thoughts could not be hidden from him. In front of the Human King, they had no secrets at all.

So, they just said what they thought, there was no need to hide or keep anything, because even if they didn’t say it, Jiang Chen would know. This was even more powerful than mind reading, seeing through the future at one glance.

"There’s nothing good about the Ancestral Land!"

"Take myself for example, all added up, I have not lived in the Ancestral Land for more than a year. If the Ancestral Land were really that good, why would I ever leave it?"

"Moreover, when I speak of Xianyang City, it is not Chang’an, but a top-level Divine City built by the First Emperor using all the resources of Heaven and Earth."

"Looking across Heaven and Earth, there are few cities that can compare with it, even the divine palaces in the heavens are not as good as Xianyang City."

"That is the future of the Human Race, you need not linger in longing for the Ancestral Land. After stabilizing the nation, you will have plenty of opportunities to go to the Ancestral Land."

Thinking this over, Jiang Chen comforted the people.

The Xianyang City left behind by the First Emperor was extremely formidable, Jiang Chen knew this, but his subordinates did not.

This point had to be clarified, as there are two Xianyangs, one of the First Emperor and one of Qin the Second, which is now Chang’an.

If this was not clarified, it would be embarrassing if people ran to Chang’an. Also, revealing the origins of Xianyang City helps to bridge their feelings of disappointment.

They thought they were going to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race, filled with expectations, but then Jiang Chen suddenly said they were not going; understandably, they might feel emotional, which is human nature.

"It’s not about moving to Chang’an, but isn’t it the Xianyang City that was recorded in ancient texts to have disappeared along with the fall of the First Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, people realized their misunderstanding; the Xianyang the Human King had referred to was not the present-day Chang’an. They thought that Jiang Chen’s memory was still in the Qin Dynasty, mistaking Chang’an for Xianyang.

But no matter how well Jiang Chen spoke of Xianyang, it could not erase their longing for the Ancestral Land. The prestige of the Ancestral Land has been ingrained in the hearts of millions over thousands of years, how could it be shaken by just a few words from Jiang Chen?

"Your Majesty, can we really go to the Ancestral Land?"

Ultimately, the yearning for the Ancestral Land prevailed, and someone boldly asked.

"You can, as long as you can achieve great feats, not to mention going to the Ancestral Land, even moving your entire tribe there wouldn’t be an issue."

"Moreover, the Ancestral Land is the ancestral land of the Human Race, there has never been a rule forbidding our people from going there. As long as you are strong enough and think of the Ancestral Land in your heart, you will naturally sense where it is."

Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

The method to go to the Ancestral Land is simple, yet the Ancestral Land lies deep in the void, and without someone to guide, only cultivators who have become celestial beings can enter.

There seems to be no threshold, but the absence of a threshold is the biggest threshold. Just the fact that it is located deep in the void has already prevented more than ninety percent of our people from going to the Ancestral Land.

"You all go and prepare, I allow you to bring your families into Xianyang City, consider it your reward."

Waving his hand, Jiang Chen let everyone leave to discuss the matters of relocating the capital.

"Your Majesty, according to your words, there should be no common people within the ancient city of Xianyang. If we are to relocate the capital, should we bring some common people along to populate the Imperial Capital?"

"Furthermore, during this trip to Li Mountain to worship Heaven and Earth and our ancestors, whom does His Majesty plan to invite? It seems we few may be too short-handed."

Upon sensing Jiang Chen’s intention to leave, someone immediately spoke up.

Other founding emperors wouldn’t lack attendants; their civil and military officials were numerous.

But Jiang Chen is different, due to his overly aggressive means of seizing power, he directly killed a majority of the former dynasty’s officials and even the powerful aristocratic families, resulting in a government devoid of people.

Except for the hundreds of strategists who joined him, there was no sign of other officers. As for local officials, there were none; everything was suppressed by the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers through force.

To put it bluntly, even a makeshift ensemble would look better organized than Jiang Chen’s newly established dynasty.

How could one govern a country like this? Not relying on powerful families but suppressing everyone with overwhelming force. Anyone who disobeyed was killed immediately, frightening everyone into silence.

"And, Your Majesty, what about the territory of our Great Dry? Are we inheriting the full expanse of the Great Han?"

At this moment, someone asked the most crucial question.

It’s almost ridiculous that up to now, they still do not know the exact size of the nation they govern, or how much land they control. Is there any state more absurd than this in the world?

"No need, Xianyang City is a sacred place. Those who have not contributed to the country are not qualified to enter. Only national heroes, great sages of the Human Race, and their families are eligible to reside in Xianyang City."

Indeed, there is currently not a single person in Xianyang City; this was intentionally arranged by Jiang Chen.

In his vision, Xianyang City is a Divine City, where ten thousand gods gather, akin to the Ancestral Land, extraordinary, not just anyone can reside there.

"As for the Heaven Worship Ceremony, just spread the word, anyone who wishes to come is welcome."

Jiang Chen said indifferently, though many felt that he lacked subordinates, in reality, his followers were not few. There are so many ancient clans of the Human Race, not everyone is thinking of rebelling against him.

Just think, at Jiang Chen’s command, numerous Innate Dao Sovereigns, Innate Dao Monarchs, and even Great Luo Golden Immortals are under his influence.

If he can mobilize these individuals, then why not their descendants or disciples? These forces, upon hearing about the Heaven Worship Ceremony, will certainly rush here to pledge their loyalty to Jiang Chen.

"As for the territory of our Great Dry, let me put it this way, the entire Nanbuzhan Continent, which includes the Nine States, no, not just the Nine States."

"It should be said this way, these four large continents, except for Dongsheng Divine Continent, the remaining three continents, all belong to our Great Dry."

"Whoever does not submit, I will send troops to conquer them!"

Speaking of territory, Jiang Chen became enthusiastic. Great Dry is really vast, even larger than Great Qin, which ruled the entire Nanbuzhan Continent.

Because, both Beijulu Continent and Xiniuhe Continent have also been conquered by Jiang Chen. These are all his territories, naturally part of Great Dry.

"So vast..."

Hearing this, everyone was astonishingly taken aback, never expecting Jiang Chen to give such an unbelievable answer.

These days, they have been hurriedly learning the knowledge of the cultivators’ world, no longer ignorant novices. Naturally, they know that the world is divided into four major continents.

Dongsheng Divine Continent belongs to Immortal Dao, Beijulu Continent to the Demon Clan, Nanbuzhan Continent to the Human Race, and Xiniuhe Continent to the Buddhist door. And Great Han is just one large nation within Nanbuzhan Continent.

Now, Jiang Chen tells them that besides Dongsheng Divine Continent, the other three continents have been conquered by him, how could this not shock them?

"To let you know, the current leader of the Buddhist door, the Grand Mighty King Buddha, is my incarnation. And the Demon Clan of Beijulu Continent has been destroyed by my troops, and by this, I ascended to the position of Human King."

"For now, don’t worry about the affairs of these two continents. After stabilizing the Nine States, it won’t be too late to deal with these two continents."

Jiang Chen explained the reasons behind.
