Zu Liming crushed all the way and unified the surrounding small countries one by one.
But even if he dealt with those who surrendered at will, and sentenced some people from surrounding small countries at will, the number of people was far from reaching one million.
Especially in ancient times, the population was originally small. Unlike the Central Plains, it could easily reach hundreds of thousands, millions, etc. The surrounding small countries had a population of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, which was already a very large population. .
Moreover, Zu Liming could not kill all the people from the surrendering country at once. If he does this, other countries will definitely fight to the death with his army in the future.
Therefore, he could only target fighting soldiers, surrendered nobles, officials, and some criminals.
If the number of people does not reach one million, then his road to unification is still far away, and he will still have to resort to war against surrounding countries.
It was at this time that some countries also saw the ambitions of the Khmer. Therefore, in order to protect themselves and prevent being destroyed, they spent a lot of money to invite extraordinary people and wanted to kill Zu Liming directly. Reduce the purpose of war.
With this, the battle between ordinary people has risen to a war between extraordinary beings.
Originally, Zu Liming had nothing to do with the battle between ordinary people. Anyway, the losses had little to do with him, it was just a few dead people. But there are many problems among extraordinary people.
There is not a single extraordinary person. If you kill him, you will kill him. Some extraordinary people have families, or sects. Therefore, after killing ~, the people behind him will also appear.
The extraordinary people recruited by some countries are not very strong, but their backgrounds are great. It also gave Zu Liming a headache sometimes. Just kill him, it will cause some trouble. If you don't kill them, these people may still get slapped on the nose.
This is still considered good. Compared with him, the strength of extraordinary people is much lower. However, there are still some countries that have spent all their money to recruit extraordinary beings who are also very powerful, equivalent to extraordinary beings in the elixir-holding stage.
Even some extraordinary people came from the country and became worshiped by a country. As long as they took action, they would attract warriors from the domestic families.
'Why! 'Zu Liming sometimes has a terrible headache with this kind of thing.
But no matter what, he had to take action to solve it, and he couldn't just put it somewhere after getting it halfway. Besides, he may also have a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder in his bones, although he doesn't know it's called obsessive-compulsive disorder.
We just know that the Blood Domain Demonic Vine Flower can bear up to ten flowers and extend its life by ten years, but it requires the blood of at least one million people. So if he only had enough for two pills, or half the amount, he would always feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, we began to take action against the extraordinary beings of these countries, and only after they were eliminated could these countries be bulldozed.
However, some countries' offerings, that is, extraordinary beings, or some extraordinary beings invited, are still quite strong. There are even some special types of extraordinary beings, such as some special practitioners in Southeast Asia, and even a few ascetics who claim to be Buddhas, and they are all very powerful.
When he met these extraordinary beings, he suffered several losses. He was even injured twice, but fortunately he escaped with the help of runes and elixirs.
In the end, in order to execute the plan smoothly, he directly used his most powerful second body to fight against these extraordinary beings. Anyway, at this time, he is not afraid that the country will know that he is here, because now his strength has almost reached the peak of the third level of the foundation stage. If the Hu and Li families come with a few more masters of holding pills, he will be able to run away without being able to defeat them.
As for transformation, fighting these extraordinary beings is much simpler. With super strong defense and some special runes, such as breath gathering runes, etc., through assassinations, sneak attacks, formation calls, etc., all the extraordinary beings in the way can be killed one by one.
As for whether assassinations, sneak attacks and other actions are harmful to cultivators, for Zu Liming, it can only be haha!
As long as the opponent can be killed and the country protected by the opponent is wiped out, all methods are fine. Everything else is just before the victor.
These extraordinary beings died in his hands and became part of the blood pool's offerings. In particular, the blood of these extraordinary beings has more energy, which speeds up the germination of the blood domain devil vine flowers, which is also one of his big gains.
Naturally, the use of Hydra as an attack method was also seen by some people on my side, and many rumors began to spread.
Of course, the winner will have the benefits of the winner, and rumors can become legends, a belief, etc.
So, in order to strengthen his rule, he began to create gods. This is also to portray him as a man of heaven, patrolling on behalf of heaven, and strengthen the legitimacy of his rule.
In ancient times, rule required legitimacy, and people still believed in this. Therefore, there will be a god-making operation. Of course, this kind of action was not something he thought of, but his subordinates naturally proposed it for him.
His second body, the Hydra, was transformed into a legendary creature, said to have powerful magic power and be able to become the guardian of the country and so on.
Therefore, now there are Nagas in temples in many places in Cambodia, and it is from him that they gradually became popular. In fact, the legend of Naga has existed since ancient times, especially in Buddhism.
But he took it and made good use of it. Even because there are legends of Nagas in Buddhism, and because Cambodia has been greatly influenced by Buddhism, Cambodia was allowed to introduce Buddhism, and also modified certain doctrines and became the belief of the entire country.
Moreover, because he was seen by many people when he was cultivating his second body, the Hydra, there was also a legend that the Cambodian royal family was a descendant of the Nagas.
Jayavarman II used force to unify all the surrounding small countries, and then began to build Angkor Wat.
Although there are various rumors about the construction of Angkor Wat, the ultimate goal is to build an underground breeding base for the Blood Demon Vine Flower.
Moreover, he planned the entire underground blood collection pipeline early without opening the area around the blood pool. This is also the reason why when Chen Mo went to the underground space, he saw two floors mixed with blood channels.
During the war, he captured a large number of prisoners, and after escorting them back, he began purposeful killings in the name of sacrifice. Then the blood of these people will flow into the underground along the collection pipes on the ground, and then all will be gathered into the blood pool.
Moreover, after slaughtering these prisoners of war, he did not let these people go. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of building the underground palace to throw all the slaughtered bodies into the four pits in the underground space, where Chen Mo entered. When he was on the underground temple platform, the four deep pits he saw were filled with the bodies he had thrown.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the underground space, prevent humans from entering, and ensure the collection of blood and the normal growth of the Blood Demon Vine Flower, he also thought of various ways to breed some cuties.
Among them, there are some creatures he collected from his previous adventures in various places, including spiders, mice, and green wolves. The most important thing is the black beetle, which is simply a natural guardian of the underground space. By.
Of course, these things were only launched after the construction of the underground space was completed.
In order to ensure a continuous supply of blood to the underground space, the construction of Angkor Wat above ground cannot be too fast. Because of this, the construction of Angkor Wat took decades from start to finish, and even after his descendants inherited the throne, the construction was not completed.
Of course, Angkor Wat on the ground is just a cover, so it doesn't matter to him whether the construction is completed or not.
In addition, it was to ensure his continuation of Khmer rule. So he had to start breeding offspring here and marry women.
However, just for the sake of reproduction, he always has only one favorite in his heart, and that is Ayaka. It was also for Ayaka that he would kill millions of people in order to survive and see her.
However, because it was a thousand years ago, millions of people were not so easy to gather. Even the surrounding countries were conquered by him, and the Khmer Empire became the Angkor Empire, and its territory was even very large.
Killing millions of people, but some cannot be done blatantly. He still needs to continue this country, so after slaughtering the prisoners of war, the number has not reached one million.
Therefore, they could only conquer a large number of people in the surrounding conquered countries and began to rule with an iron fist for the purpose of building Angkor Wat. Therefore, when Angkor Wat was being built, many civilians also died.
Anyway, it’s just one reason. In order to increase the blood supply, delay the attack, construction errors, incorrect construction, etc., all the reasons can be used to slaughter these conquered civilians in batches, and then continue to conquer the next batch!
Therefore, the construction speed of Angkor Wat was not very fast, but the loss of civilians was very fast. For a time, a large number of people in the surrounding area were lost, and the population decreased rapidly.
Even after the Angkor Dynasty retreated from this guy, due to population problems, it eventually fell apart in a short period of time and became several small countries again. There is no longer the vast empire that he had when he was on the throne.
Therefore, the Angkor Dynasty of the Khmer period is also remembered by future generations. Their ancestors also had a great emperor.
In fact, it's just that this guy wants to collect enough blood pools for breeding, that's all.
Therefore, sometimes the reason behind some seemingly heavy history is very simple. After the actual situation is told, future generations may not believe it, but that is the truth.
The truth is, sometimes it's that simple.
When Chen Mo saw this, he also sighed inadvertently. He did not expect the history of Cambodia to be such a history.
