The three envoys represented the Yellow Emperor Tribe, Fire Emperor Tribe, and the Shang King Palace; they were all people who had forged huge friendships or animosities with Shanhai City during the Battle Map.
No one expected that Shanhai City establishing their country could actually make these three ancient tribes act.
The three envoys all expressed that although the Yellow Emperor, Fire Emperor, and Shang King could not personally come, they would all arrange officials with gifts.
The moment they finished their words, Ouyang Shuo's quest panel changed to 45/50. This proved that Gaia recognized the well wishes of these three ancient powers.
Ouyang Shuo suppressed the emotions in his heart and sent away the three envoys.
Before the Yellow Emperor Tribe envoy left, he said, "The Yellow Emperor wants me to pass on a message to you; he wishes to thank you for taking care of his descendants. Also, although the mountain barbarians are the descendants of Chiyou, they are Chinese. You becoming Barbarian King is also a massive achievement."
Ouyang Shuo nodded; he understood.
This time, the three tribes came together was both because of what happened in the Battle Maps and also because Ouyang Shuo had welcomed the Youxiong Tribe.
Such an encounter was one that everyone envied.
As for the attitude of the Yellow Emperor toward the mountain barbarians, it showed his magnanimity. With his seal of approval, the biasness of the Chinese people toward the mountain barbarians in the territory would totally disappear.
After sending them away, Ouyang Shuo immediately called over Shen Buhai and Zhang Yi to ask the Shanhai Guards to work with the Honglu Temple to secretly spread the news that the envoys of the Yellow Emperor, the Fire Emperor, and the Shang King had expressed their well-wishes.
The moment the news went out, the world was thrown into an uproar.
Since the Battle of Zhuolu ended, three years has passed since the Yellow Emperor and the Fire Emperor had appeared in the wilderness. They had always remained secluded. No matter how players searched, they could not find them.
Who knew that they would reappear because of Shanhai City?
A hectic discussion took place on the forums, which even eclipsed the hot topic of Jiangshan Beauty.
Everyone was wishing for Shanhai City to successfully establish their country; it was like destiny now.
At this time, Yanhuang Alliance was placed in an awkward position. They used the name of Yanhuang, but they were going to go against the two emperors because of Shanhai City this time, what a joke.
There were many people mocking them on the forums.
"What Yanhuang Alliance? It was a title they gave themselves. The two emperors truly recognize Shanhai City."
"They have been slapped. Slapped!"
"Yanhuang Alliance has lost all their face. Why not change their name to Vain Alliance; it'll be a better fit!"
"I suddenly feel sad for Yanhuang Alliance; they cannot even keep their name."
"In my opinion, they should just bring their gifts over. At the very least, they can be in the same camp as the two emperors."
"Why does it feel like the sky is changing?"
No one knew what Di Chen and the others thought about the words of the others. However, after this news broke out, there were immediately neutral parties who accepted the invitation.
Ouyang Shuo's quest panel continued to jump; in the afternoon of the 16th, it was 49/50. He was one person away from completing the quest.
At this very moment, shocking news spread through the wilderness.
Zhan Lang from Blood Red City had accepted the invitation and would represent Yanhuang Alliance to attend the coronation.
The moment the news was out, it caused a commotion.
Players mocking the Yanhuang Alliance on the forums were one thing, but no one had really expected them to really yield.
Although this was a small matter, it had major meaning. It meant that Yanhuang Alliance had admitted defeat in their battle against Shanhai City. They probably had already lost hope of stopping the rise of Shanhai City and wanted to keep themselves safe.
After this, the situation in China was going to change.
In the future, there would be no competition for the role of China Region commander. It belonged to Ouyang Shuo without a doubt.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he saw further than anyone else. The Yanhuang Alliance made such a choice because they wanted to protect themselves and had to make a huge strategic adjustment.
They yielded so as to advance in the future.
As expected from the strategists that they were, they knew when to give up. The current situation was that King City and Shanhai City were connected and war was at risk of breaking out at any moment.
If they were really forced to go head to head, Yanhuang Alliance did not feel confident about winning.
Since that was the case, why not back off and choose to yield? They admitted that the position of head of China was Shanhai City's. In return, Shanhai City would not attack Yanhuang Alliance and both sides could be at peace.
If Shanhai City still wanted to attack Yanhuang Alliance under such circumstances, they could use the forums and other methods to spoil their reputation.
They would say how Shanhai City only knows how to fight amongst China and waste their overall strength.
Ouyang Shuo actually did not want to go head to head against them now. The following plans of the Great Xia Dyansty were geared toward the outside.
He did not forget about the ambitions of the Japanese.
These actions were probably guided by an expert; they were taking a step back to take two forward to solve the crisis and buy time.
It looked like they lost face, but they had won strength.
In the future, Shanhai City and Yanhuang Alliance would split north and south.
"A good way to solve a crisis!" Ouyang Shuo evaluated.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Ouyang Shuo heaved a sigh of relief.
Yanhuang Alliance's temporary compromise meant that Ouyang Shuo could focus on the Mediterranean, Morocco, Annan, Australia, New Zealand, and other foreign places.
The world was huge, so how could he keep to one small place?
Along with Zhan Lang accepting the invitation, there was a wave of other Lords who accepted. On the 16th day deadline, the quest panel read 57/50.
The moment Zhan Lang accepted the invitation, a System Notification sounded out in Ouyang Shuo's ear.
"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, the country establishment quest 3 has been completed."
...
"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for completing all three quests, you can apply to establish the country at any moment."
With that, the coronation day after could proceed as planned. Ouyang Shuo heaved a sigh of relief.
For Shanhai City to be able to complete the three quests, it basically stemmed from meeting the Youxiong Tribe.
"Just this alone, I must try my best to help them." Paying back gratitude was something Ouyang Shuo knew how to do.
Ouyang Shuo was relaxed, but there was someone who felt much regret.
City in the Skies, west city courtyard.
As night fell, the Federation President was relaxing at the back courtyard. The city in the skies was located above the clouds and one could see the stars if one looked up.
Being placed here was like being merged with the cosmos. However, the Federation President was not feeling really happy and comfortable. Instead, he was a little worried and depressed.
"I've totally misjudged!" He shook his head bitterly.
Gaia, who was looking on quietly, focused on the stars far away and did not turn back.
The president did not care and continued, "I did not expect this little friend to have so many connections and luck to be able to know both emperors. We made one wrong step and might even lose the entire plot."
After learning that Silver Hand had acted to suppress Shanhai City, the president was ready to act to help. If he mobilized the power of the academic faction, he could immediately help Shanhai City complete the quest.
However, he felt conflicted and wanted to test Ouyang Shuo. In his words, 'Use this chance to train his character.'
Based on the plans of the president, he was prepared to use the strength of the academic faction a day before the coronation and help Ouyang Shuo at the last minute.
It would be like sending charcoal in the winter.
Who knew that he had misjudged the situation? He did not consider the chance that both the emperors would appear.
Now, even without the help of the academic faction, Shanhai City had completed the country establishment quest and had done so beautifully.
This made it awkward for the president.
"Little friend probably has some views against us."
The president shook his head. The truth proved once again that the game was not real life. Many things could change in the game, and it was not something him as president could take into control.
The problems in game could only be solved in the game.
This could be called learning from one's mistakes.
Be it Yanhuang Alliance or Silver Hand who had just revealed themselves, in a battle against an unassuming grassroots Lord, they had faced successive losses and were forced on the back foot.
One of the core problems was that they used real life thinking to try and solve game problems.
The truth proved that they were too arrogant.
The game world Gaia gave birth to was far more complicated than they thought.
Shanhai City had turned danger into an opportunity, relying on their foundations to do so. This was something that even Silver Hand could not do anything about.
The Federation President looked at the stars and said, "I think we should do something."
