The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1399: Chapters 1346-1347 Life Simulation–Strong Rise God Race Alliance_2 Chapter 1399: Chapters 1346-1347 Life Simulation–Strong Rise God Race Alliance_2 In these years, Sui continued to implement the development strategy of Suiming City, governing his subjects while again increasing the number of soldiers.

Using those soldiers who had experienced the great war as the backbone, he formed dozens of new legions, the original army of sixty thousand multiplied several times, reaching more than one hundred fifty thousand.

Meanwhile, although a number of Cultivators at the Communicating with God Realm had died in the battle with the Rain Clan, those Demigod Strong who survived benefited immensely, coupled with Pei Xuanjing’s guidance and Sui’s vigorous support with resources, three more broke through to Demigod, and countless more advanced to the Communicating with God Realm.

Even though there had been no expansion in these years, as Suiming City grew stronger, naturally the area it influenced also expanded significantly, resulting in a manifold increase in its territory compared to before.

In this process, Sui consulted with Pei Xuanjing, and surrounding Suiming City, they again built three more cities, each guarded by three other Demigods commanding a part of the Cultivators and soldiers.

Unknowingly, more than thirty years had passed since they left the Royal Capital to establish Suiming City. Sui’s power had become formidable enough, and they needed to start implementing the second step of their plan: expansion.

Despite their current status being immensely greater than before, Sui never forgot his original intention. He aimed to establish a kingdom for the human race and in doing so, help the King of Fire Country ascend the throne.

One should know that so many years had passed, nearly spanning two generations for the Mortal Clan, and those of the new generation growing up in Suiming City revered it greatly, and Sui himself was held in utmost regard.

Moreover, due to the promotion of Martial Arts, those who practiced Martial Arts from a young age, even if they were of the Mortal Clan, found it quite possible to commence Cultivation comparable to the God Clan, and even if unable to switch to Divine Tao and continuing only with Martial Arts, they were not weaker than those of the God Clan in the same Realm.

Thus, the conquest began anew–the initial defeat and subduing of the Rain Clan by Suiming City, although they never received any part of the Rain Clan’s wealth, everything left by them had been divided among the other God Clans.

Therefore, Suiming City started demanding the God Clans that had acted initially to return the wealth that rightfully belonged to them.

This was unacceptable for the various God Clans, for they acknowledged Suiming City’s status in place of the Rain Clan only because the Rain Clan had failed, and the power displayed by Suiming City was a deterrent for them.

Even though Suiming City had developed swiftly in those years, these God Clans with profound and ancient heritage, having divided the Rain Clan’s wealth, had grown much stronger. How could they concern themselves with Suiming City’s demands, deeming it mere unwarranted troublemaking by Suiming City?

No one would willingly relinquish the meat already in the mouth, especially when they believed themselves to be the stronger party.

The lesson to be learned from history by living beings is to repeat the same mistakes.

The defeat of the Rain Clan, though not long ago, did not cause these God Clans to regard Suiming City highly.

Moreover, since the God Clans that divided the Rain Clan’s inheritance were not alone, by making such a demand, Suiming City was challenging them collectively, provoking their ire.

Some of them even harbored different intentions, believing that despite the Rain Clan’s defeat, Suiming City’s wealth was indisputable. If they could cooperate, they could completely annihilate Suiming City, accomplishing what the Rain Clan had failed to do: plundering Suiming City’s wealth.

Driven by huge interests, the reactions from these God Clans were swift. They rapidly organized a massive army of five hundred thousand soldiers, uniting ten Demigods, intending to annihilate Suiming City.

An army of five hundred thousand soldiers and ten Demigods, such combined forces in any kingdom could equivalently rank as a regional prince; this reflects that although these God Clans verbally belittled Suiming City, when it truly came to military confrontation, they took it very seriously, daring not undermine its importance.

At this time, even though the Sui People Clan, founded by Sui, comprised only four cities with a population of five million and an assembled army of three hundred thousand, there was not a trace of fear.

The cities still had slightly over ten thousand soldiers stationed for defense, while the rest, a formidable army of two hundred and fifty thousand troops, was led by Sui and a successor Demigod into battle. This time, however, Pei Xuanjing also joined Sui on the battlefield.

Although our side had almost entirely emptied their nests and left few soldiers for defense, they were not the least bit worried.

Because over these years, Pei Xuanjing had set up corresponding Arrays in each city. Once activated, even Demigod Strong could not destroy them, making short-term attacks impossible.

With Pei Xuanjing’s abilities, he could easily set up Arrays powerful enough to counter Gods, but sometimes even a skillful woman can’t cook without rice. The foundation of these cities was still not deep enough to support Arrays that could withstand Gods.

Nevertheless, these were sufficient, as Pei Xuanjing had not only reorganized an army of three hundred thousand over the years but had also implemented a military system: the conscription system.

For the Sui People Clan, if they wanted to grow, especially under the current circumstances, they naturally had to find ways to leverage their existing size to its fullest potential, and the conscription system was the best method.

One must understand the cruelty of this world where the struggle never ceases; every tribe or race was almost entirely militarized, and only the strong could survive these harsh times.

Therefore, leaving more than ten thousand regular troops in various cities for defense, with reserves and militia to help maintain order, was enough to deal with any threat and even buy some time should a Demigod intervene.

The most crucial point was the presence of Pei Xuanjing. After ascending to Demigod, statues for him and Sui were erected in the four cities, much like those in the Taoist Academy back then.

As the biggest helper in the eyes of the Sui People Clan, the leader, mentor, and pioneer of Martial Arts for Sui, Pei Xuanjing received almost as much reverence and credibility as Sui, with massive amounts of Qi Luck and Power of Faith.

This Qi Luck and Power of Faith, along with the spiritual consciousness left by Pei Xuanjing, were sufficient for him to condense an Incarnation in a short time to counter any Demigod Strong. Even if a God resorted to a shameless sneak attack, Pei Xuanjing was well capable of contending with them.

With their rear secure, Sui and Pei Xuanjing led the Sui People Clan’s three Demigods and the army of two hundred and fifty thousand to campaign against the God Race Alliance.

Although Pei Xuanjing joined Sui on this expedition, he was clear about his own role; he was more of a fail-safe presence, with Sui needing to take the lead more often to continue refining his abilities and to grow.

More than thirty years had passed since they left the Royal Capital, and Sui was now over fifty years old, an age considered elderly among the ordinary human race, usually surrounded by children and grandchildren.

Though still maintaining his youthful appearance, it was evident from his eyes that Sui had matured significantly, sporting a mustache above his lips, and his aura was starkly different from before.

With ten Demigods and five hundred thousand troops, this was an immense force. Despite past experiences of triumphing against stronger foes with fewer numbers, such adversaries still placed a significant strain on Sui.

However, for some reason, seeing Xi beside him with a faint smile seemed to influence him, dissipating some of the tension in his heart.

He began to calm down, contemplating his next moves meticulously to ensure a flawless execution.

As days went by, the two armies were less than a hundred li apart, with a battle about to erupt at any moment.
