The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Even if they lose everything now, as long as they win the final battle, everything lost can be reclaimed anew.

Even using the words of Emperor Taizu, without these religious sects and noble families blocking the way, even if the battle smoke rises everywhere, it would be no big deal for me to once again wield a three-foot green blade and sweep across the universe, reclaiming the world all over again.

This is the confidence of a pioneer. He believes that without external influences, even if he has to start over, he can still win and become the ultimate victor.

Many powerhouses have such confidence. Although they value their foundations, they are not overly concerned about them, confident that even if they smash these bottles and jars, they can still acquire something better.

For those in the Da Ye Dynasty right now, what they want to do is to win at all costs, even if it means a pyrrhic victory, to instill fear in the opponent, make them weigh the pros and cons, and thus, fight for a glimmer of hope for themselves.

So, in the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong, their opponents are not just the Rebel Kings, but also time.

Because these religious sects and noble families have clearly realized this, they have seen through the plans and goals of the Da Ye royal family, and hence, they are advancing their attacks at all costs.

Both sides are racing against time, vying for every moment.

All cultivators and martial artists in Central State have been drawn into this turmoil, with some falling and their grievances making the calamitous energy even more potent, while others use this opportunity to achieve breakthroughs and tread further on their cultivation path.

The aim of the Da Ye royal family is to concentrate all their strength in the final battle. The rest of the provinces are just a means to delay time; whether they can hold their ground or not is irrelevant.

Therefore, according to Emperor Xuanzong’s plan, the time for each province to hold is fixed. Once the expected duration is reached, if further delays would mean loss of strength, he would decisively order a retreat and give up the provinces.

Thus, while it seems that Rebel Kings are continuously conquering lands and the Da Ye Dynasty is being forced to retreat, in reality, the vital forces of the dynasty are being preserved without much damage.
