The one-month truce period is the time limit for calling for war.
If the main world fails to return victoriously in time within a month, it will be sentenced to defeat and forcibly recalled.
Each country faces different difficulties, and the time it takes to return to the main world after victory or defeat is also different.
During the recruitment period, the country's lord and a considerable part of the core were absent.
Which neighboring country completes the recruitment task faster and returns early, wouldn't it be the first to launch a war?
Just like Zhou Bai, who returned in four days, if he did not abide by the truce period restrictions of the Heavenly Court and now personally attacked Dingguo and Dingxi Kingdom, he would definitely win consecutive battles.
Just because the core figures of the two countries are asleep, it is difficult to say whether the civil and military ministers who are left behind can realize the potential of the national war.
However, returning victorious in advance will naturally have advantages. At least there will be more time to digest the luck.
Once the truce period ends, Anbei Kingdom's overall strength will definitely make great progress, not to mention doubling.
Of course, when the human world returns to the human world, many people break the restrictions of this truce period.
For example, there are many separatist forces that are not eligible for recruitment, or small countries that were defeated early and did not receive any benefits.
In their opinion, instead of waiting for a winner like Zhou Bai to digest his luck and increase his strength, it is better to attack as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the one-month truce period ends, wouldn't it be like being at the mercy of others, and the national strength of both sides will not be at the same level.
Heaven can restrict those who abide by the rules, but it's really hard to deal with these stupid young people. They don't have any lofty ideals. They just want to separate themselves from one side and have a stable foundation.
On the third day of Zhou Bai's return, on January 14, the second year of Tongzhi, news came from Dongtai. The channel was Tianya Pavilion, which was very credible.
A separatist tyrant named Gai Hai brazenly launched a war during the truce, and was very successful, taking away a county from a neighboring country in one fell swoop.
In this way, Gaihai became a powerful faction in the region in an instant, and Gaihai even took this opportunity to establish a country, regardless of the truce ban imposed by the Heavenly Court.
According to private inquiries from members of the Tianya Pavilion, it turned out that Gai Hai accidentally obtained the secret fragment of the ancient humane imperial court and knew that the power of humanity was very powerful and once dominated the Tianyuan Continent.
In times of trouble, the power of humanity will be extremely active. Before God comes out, fights and mergers are all behaviors that conform to the general trend of humanity.
Therefore, Gai Hai believes that if heaven really wants to intervene, he will definitely be protected by the will of humanity.
Based on Zhou Bai's understanding of human nature and the history of the Human Emperor, he also believed that Gai Hai's judgment was indeed reasonable. In these troubled times, he clearly felt that heaven had less interference in the human world.
It's a pity that the first bird was shot. In order to maintain the supreme majesty of Heaven and to deter latecomers like him, Heaven must punish him.
On January 18, the Heavenly Court issued an edict to the world through the Tiangong Monument, declaring that Gai Hai was guilty of the crime.
Perhaps due to the awakening human will, the Heavenly Court did not directly send Heavenly Officials to the lower realms to punish, but used various other means.
Such as removing all the gods under Gai Hai's rule and declaring that the citizens of his country will no longer be protected by heaven, or bringing bad luck to the country and causing the country's destiny to quickly disappear...
In this way, not only did the country established by Gai Hai erect the pillars of heaven, but even the system and legal network were eroded by the misfortune from heaven.
Just because his newly established country did not have enough luck to kill the bad luck.
Within three days, the weather became erratic, with uneven rainfall.
Sometimes evil winds come and blow down people's houses, and sometimes an earth dragon turns over, making people panic.
Soon, this place became a paradise where evildoers and ghosts roamed wildly. The demons and ghosts from all directions knew that this country did not have the power to restrict them.
As long as they don't go to a few areas such as the capital, the human race's blood-food yang energy can be freely used, and even a city can be forcibly broken into.
Even the plague ghosts and plague spirits, which were banned by the gods from all over the world, appeared in the country of Gaihai, and a large number of people fled in order to survive.
Under such circumstances, the country will no longer be a country, and it will only be a matter of time before it is completely destroyed.
Gai Hai quickly gave in, placed a large number of tributes to offer sacrifices to heaven, and knelt down to pray for heaven's forgiveness. However, what was waiting for him was a thunder from the sky, which turned all the tributes and incense into ashes.
In view of this fate, the world fell silent, and some heroes who were ready to take action suddenly became frightened.
Only then did they remember a saying: "There is nothing to pray for if you have been punished by God."
Zhou Bai was not surprised by this. If it were a small country, Heaven would not be able to do anything to it, and the fate of the Tianyuan countries would not be harvested.
When you can really be strong-willed, you have to be as big as Daxu. No matter how others are abandoned by the Red Emperor, you can still go your own way.
The national policy of Daxu's senior officials to "confer princes with respect to Zhengshuo" is undoubtedly to continue the national destiny and continue to occupy the Dragon Vein of the Central Plains. This is obviously contrary to the goal of rebuilding a new dynasty in Heaven.
But so far, Daxu has been playing it safe and has not been publicly criticized by heaven.
Why? Because Daxu's current national luck is still the strongest in the world. Not to mention that the luck of the gods has not been lacking. Even if there is a fall in heaven's evil luck, I am afraid there will be nothing that can be done for a while.
The outside world is either turbulent or calm, and Anbei Kingdom only develops according to Zhou Bai's guidance.
On January 25th, Lu Ding and a group of core members returned. The national fortune of Dingxi Kingdom surged and the whole country rejoiced.
On January 27th, Lei Haomiao and a group of core members returned. The country's destiny was calm and the whole country was like a pool of stagnant water.
With these changes, it is obvious that one side wins and the other loses.
At this time, Zhou Bai couldn't care about the thoughts of the two countries. He was too busy.
I just finished inspecting the Lingtian in Cangshan Mountain, and now I have to check the enrollment status of new students in martial arts schools in various places.
The original requirement for admission to martial arts was that teenagers over nine years old and under fourteen years old must successfully exercise within one month.
Now that Great Yan's fortune is gradually digesting, Anbei's national fortune is growing day by day, and there are also people among the common people who are flourishing with fortune and stimulating their own talents.
Zhou Bai directly allowed all teenagers over seven years old and under twelve years old to directly screen for talent without successfully exercising.
This is a way to increase the talents of ordinary people, so as not to bury these young people who cannot afford blood food and take medicinal baths.
No parent would refuse to have a martial arts student in their family, who would be provided with food, housing and martial arts training. In the end, he would be able to become a junior military officer after completing his studies.
While testing martial arts talents, Zhou Bai also sent all the monks from Wuding Sect and Taoist Regiment to martial arts, just to select those suitable for practicing Taoism while testing martial arts talents.
On this day, Zhou Bai couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the elders in his hometown, so he went down to have fun with the people. In fact, he just participated in several field opening ceremonies.
The land that accepts sacrifices is trembling with fear when seeing the king coming in person, and does not dare to show any slightest care.
"Miracles" such as sprouting after sowing and taking root when transplanted, appear frequently.
These land gods are so sincere and frightened. Zhou Bai has the power of the Yangshi system and can dominate the people's beliefs.
What's more important is that people's hearts are like iron and official laws are like furnaces.
They were afraid of Zhou Bai's Tianxian in his mouth. Since the king came to Pingcang, the entire Pingcang County's legal net seemed to have more power than dragons and tigers, and those Pingcang officials also gained a bit more majesty.
Some land gods were surprised to find that even the ordinary iron official seal worn by the ninth-grade Xiangcheng could intimidate them, and it contained the power of a tiger.
This is not because the belief in evil gods in the northern grasslands has been introduced to the south of Cangshan Mountain. Zhou Bai ordered everyone to ban it and cut down the mountains and destroy the temples.
Anything that is not recognized by the Anbei court is a temple of obscenity and needs to be destroyed.
Unlike previous dynasties which required the leadership of Taoist officials, the removal of mountains and temples in Anbei Kingdom was led by local officials.
It doesn't require many magical means. As long as the militia and Yamen officers carry official documents and present them at the temple of obscenity, they can easily suppress the evil gods' abnormal movements.
Within two days, Zhou Bai Hui witnessed a temple destruction operation by Pingcang County officials.
In the northern wilderness, which is still a hundred miles away from Cangshan Mountain, a water pond suddenly appeared a month ago. A branch of the Zhou family passed by while grazing on Tuesday Cai, and was tempted by the treasure of the evil god of the water pond, so he worshiped it privately.
In just ten days, the belief spread to the countryside, and villagers set up earthen temples next to the pond to make offerings and pray for money and water.
A group of government officials from Pingcang County were on their way to the pond according to the location information.
A young government official asked doubtfully: "Captain, you said the Hongni Township Office didn't discover this evil temple for a month? I think it's unlikely. Could it be that they were also tempted by the evil god?"
After standing up, the capable and mature head catcher shook his head and said: "The Hongni Township Office is negligent in its duties at best. The county has already investigated the township chief and the mayor, otherwise they will destroy this small temple."
"Dereliction of duty?" The young government officials are still puzzled. Now that the politics are clear and the county assessment is so strict, they still dare to dereliction of duty.
"Hmph, young boy, don't be surprised if you don't know. Please tell me what's so special about Hongni Township." The head catcher hates the fact that iron can't turn into steel, so he'll give you a few pointers.
"It's special. Your Majesty is born from red mud, and the Zhou clan has always been rooted here..." The young government officer suddenly realized and quickly fell silent.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Qunshi Hall, the seat of the core power of the Zhou clan, was strangely quiet.
Just because of the aristocratic young man sitting in the main seat and the water mirror suspended in mid-air, which was broadcasting the conversation between the government servant and the head catcher in real time.
The several clan elders sitting below who had white beards and white hair and whose bodies were originally very strong suddenly turned pale. They all wanted to kneel down to apologize, but they were blocked by invisible forces and could not kneel down no matter what.
"Patriarch, please forgive me. It was our fault for not being strict in our discipline. They actually dared to suppress the township office without permission..."
Facing the confessions of the clan elders, Zhou Bai shook his head indifferently and said: "If you dare to let the township office do nothing today, will you be the county government tomorrow, and will you still be in charge of this country in the future? You said I will give you the title of king." how?"
No one in Qunshi Hall dared to sit still due to such heart-wrenching words. They all cried bitterly and begged Zhou Bai for forgiveness.
Zhou Bai allowed them to apologize and complain, but quietly looked at the water mirror transformed by Taoism. The group of government officials had arrived at the Yin Temple.
"Under the orders of the imperial court, we cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and cleared out obscene temples within the territory. Anyone who dares to stop them will be regarded as bandits..."
