“Genesis Supreme, is it really you? If you’re okay, that’s wonderful!”

The imperial prison revolt had alarmed many people, including the spies An Yaluoshan had left in the capital. The news that Genesis Supreme had been ‘killed’ in the skies above the capital had been a major shock to the Youzhou group.

Even though Genesis Supreme had always treated them with unconcealed contempt, his vast cultivation and the enormous resources under his control made him the greatest backer of the Youzhou group.

In terms of gold, Genesis Supreme had provided hundreds of millions of taels, an enormous sum for any country. It was precisely because of this vast fortune that An Yaluoshan was able to recruit so many soldiers.

And this wasn’t even considering that Genesis Supreme had a.s.sisted An Yaluoshan in creating his strongest army, the Yeluohe!

“Hmph, did you really think I died?”

Genesis Supreme grunted in extreme displeasure.

The generals s.h.i.+vered and lowered their heads.

“Haha, how could that be? It’s fine as long as Venerable One is well!”

An Yaluoshan didn’t take the words to heart and laughed.

“There was a small problem, and I fell into a trap set up by that brat! But there will be no next time. Once I have changed into a new body, I will return, and then I will tear that brat’s body to pieces!” Genesis Supreme viciously said.

Everyone mentally trembled at these words, and Gao Shang slightly frowned, feeling both fear and something else.

From Genesis Supreme’s words, he could tell that the reports from the Imperial Palace had not been wrong. He truly had been ‘killed’ by w.a.n.g Chong, but somehow, he had not died.

For him, it seemed to merely be a matter of changing his body.

The death of a human was a light going out! This was a principle that all of them understood.

He had never heard about a situation like Genesis Supreme’s. It was beyond the realm of human understanding.

From a certain perspective, he really did seem like an immortal G.o.d.

“This G.o.d was listening to your conversation. There is no need for you to worry about the Great Tang’s million-man army, or that fortress in the northeast. This G.o.d has already made arrangements. In addition, I have already ordered my subordinates to send over the third batch of Yeluohe. This time, it is not eight thousand, but twenty thousand!

“When the time comes, send someone to receive them!” Genesis Supreme sternly said.

“What?!”

The generals glanced at each other in excitement.

Twenty thousand Yeluohe?

Together with the first two batches, didn’t that mean that Youzhou now had thirty-six thousand Yeluohe warriors?!

The Yeluohe were special soldiers created by the Youzhou group and Genesis Supreme. Each one was extremely powerful, capable of contending against one hundred– no, one thousand!

More importantly, Yeluohe warriors were extremely st.u.r.dy, seemingly able to survive even the most dire of injuries.

If they had thirty-six thousand Yeluohe warriors, what was there to fear about the Great Tang’s army of one million?

“Wonderful! If that’s true, we won’t even need to wait for the agreed four months and can just attack immediately!” Tian Chengsi excitedly said.

An additional twenty thousand Yeluohe was like four hundred thousand ordinary soldiers.

The boost this gave to Youzhou was inestimable.

“Very good! This was exactly what this G.o.d wanted to say! I do not give this batch of Yeluohe for free. This G.o.d has only one condition! You must attack early!

“This G.o.d cannot wait for even one additional moment. I want that brat crushed into powder!”

Genesis Supreme’s voice was suffused with immense hatred.

w.a.n.g Chong hadn’t even reached the Grotto Heaven realm, but he had almost died to such a puny ant, his soul nearly scattered. Genesis Supreme could not endure this sort of disgrace!

He had gotten in touch with An Yaluoshan this time precisely so that he could borrow An Yaluoshan’s strength to sow chaos in the realm and have w.a.n.g Chong killed early.

“So that’s what it was about! If you want to kill that brat, we have no objection. Once those twenty thousand Yeluohe arrive, we’ll immediately set out, crush their armies, and take the Central Plains!”

An Yaluoshan heartily laughed, agreeing without a second thought.

What sort of burden was this?

This was being gifted a pillow when feeling drowsy. They had just been talking about the fortress and the recruitment of soldiers, and now, Genesis Supreme had delivered twenty thousand of the supreme Yeluohe to them.

This was the most pleasant of surprises!

If this was the power of the ‘Child of the World’, then one could say that w.a.n.g Chong had helped him out.

“Very good. I will send those soldiers over soon. I hope that you will not disappoint this G.o.d.”

Genesis Supreme nodded, and with a thump, the phantom exploded into black smoke.

“I will wait for the good news.”

Genesis Supreme’s voice in the black flute dwindled away, after which the flute ceased to ripple with energy and returned to normal.

Once Genesis Supreme’s presence had faded, the mountaintop fell silent.

An Yaluoshan and his subordinates glanced at each other, their smiles quickly fading. An Yaluoshan twitched his wrist, placing a barrier of energy around the black flute that cut off all sound.

“This Genesis Supreme can’t be trusted, but we need those twenty thousand Yeluohe!”

An Yaluoshan’s face darkened as he turned to Gao Shang.

“Gao Shang, time is short. Write two letters asking Ü-Tsang and the Western Turks if they’ve made up their mind yet!”

“Yes!”

Gao Shang hastily lowered his head.

An Yaluoshan turned to Cui Qianyou.

“Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, if we’re beginning our attack early, we need to discuss the details of deployment with our allies.”

“Yes!” the generals called out, and lowered their heads.

An Yaluoshan nodded and said no more, immediately heading off for the Andong Protectorate headquarters.

In the main hall of the headquarters was a model that he had ordered to be made, detailing the geography of the Central Plains and the distribution of soldiers.

A very long discussion was ahead of them.

The group quickly dispersed, and a few moments later, messenger birds took flight to Ü-Tsang and the Western Turkic Khaganate.

As the snowstorm continued to wreak havoc, the temperature continued to drop, and the cold wave continued its ceaseless advance to the south.

At this time, high atop the Tibetan Plateau, tiny snowflakes drifted down from the sky and blanketed the region.

In the royal palace of Ü-Tsang, the Tibetan commanders had gathered, Dalon Trinling seated above them all.

In the center of the hall, upon that throne that had been pa.s.sed down for hundreds of years, sat the Tsenpo, his expression grave.

Ü-Tsang’s Imperial Ministers usually handled daily affairs, even more so during Dalon Trinling’s tenure, and the Tsenpo rarely took part in court sessions.

This was because Dalon Trinling was more than capable of handling the empire’s daily affairs, and if Dalon Trinling couldn’t handle it, the Tsenpo probably couldn’t handle it either.

But this time was different. The terrifying calamity the Holy Temple had prophesied several thousand years ago was imminent.

For many years, the Ü-Tsang Empire had relied on the unique terran of the plateau to avoid disaster after disaster, but not even the lofty alt.i.tude could protect Ü-Tsang from this cold wave.

Many cows and sheep had frozen to death, and the cold wave showed no signs of stopping. If this went on, the empire’s destruction was not far off.

The royal palace was fraught with tension.

“Your Majesty, Imperial Minister, this cold wave cannot be underestimated. We have already sent men to investigate, and we have found that Goguryeo, Youzhou, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates, the Western Regions, and our own Ü-Tsang are all feeling the effects of this snowstorm. Extreme cold and ice storms have pervaded the world from east to west. Such cold climate is unheard of, and even the Central Plains are showing signs of freezing,” a thick-bearded and hairy Tibetan general reported.

“If this trend continues, if nothing changes, the entire plateau will be covered in ice and snow in another one or two months, and countless people will have frozen to death.”

Another Tibetan general stood up and said, “It might not even be just one month. Already, tens of thousands of people in the empire have frozen to death, and one million head of livestock have died. We’ll be running into food shortages soon. The situation doesn’t look good.”

Ü-Tsang’s alt.i.tude made its situation somewhat better for now, but not by much.

“Can we really not endure this cold wave?” the Tsenpo suddenly blurted out, his brow furrowed in unease.

He had also received the reports on the snowstorm, and some places were probably in far worse condition than his generals reported. No one had ever encountered a situation like this, and n.o.body knew how to deal with it.

The hall was silent, and everyone began to turn to Dalon Trinling.

“It’s very difficult. It’s not showing any signs of stopping so far!”

Dalon Trinling shook his head and spoke calmly.

“Namri Songtian, have you done what I asked?”

“Imperial Minister, Tsenpo, everything has been taken care of. All of the shepherds are beginning to make their way south, and it should buy us a little more time. But this does not address the root of the problem!” Namri Songtian sternly said.

The snowstorm was moving from north to south. While the northern parts had been turned into a land of ice and snow, with countless livestock frozen to death or pelted to death by hail, the lands on the southern face of the Tibetan Plateau, those of the Ngari Royal Lineage, had not been as harshly affected, giving the Ü-Tsang Empire a chance to catch its breath.

For the lands of the Ngari Royal Lineage, rendered deserted by w.a.n.g Chong’s sheep plague during the Great Tang’s war of the southwest, to play such an important role during this calamity was truly surprising.

But all of them knew that if the snowstorm continued to advance, they would still not be able to escape.
