Chapter 31: Heaven So High and Earth So Far Away
er text you'd like me to translate!That was pressure beyond imagination.From all directions, from everywhere that touched the water.His sturdy frame creaked and groaned. His bones rattled with the for..."How high are the heavens, ninefold Perhaps up to one of the upper city walls."
Below the city, thirty-nine steps, who lends the ladder to the blue clouds
This widely circulated short poem from You Guo accurately depicts the simple feelings of its people towards Shang Cheng.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Land of Youguo is a divinely blessed nation, and the Upper City is where the elite reside.
The most prosperous city stood on the back of a giant turtle, traveling around the border. Those who lived in the lower city could only gaze at it twice a year. Of course they wanted to climb up, to become someone important. But the path into the upper city was never plentiful. The positions of lord of the various cities,
The competition is extremely fierce.
Many years ago, Shangcheng was also the dream of a young man.
>
Today, he trampled the Upper City under his feet.
This ruined wall, the casualties of the carnivores, are just as he wished when he left this country.
But is that really enough
A mother has lost her son, a brother his sibling. The most gifted individual has been stifled in the cradle... What tragedy brought them to this point today
Having scoured the historical records, I found no mention of it. That period of history has been deliberately erased.
>
A tortoise beast with the bloodline of the Baji, suddenly appeared in this country, inexplicably manipulated by You Ting and became the national sacred beast.
Oddly enough, the "heaven" of Tianyouguo became a totem in the shape of a sacred turtle.
Many years ago, this place was a fertile land with abundant rain and sunshine, a blessed land favored by heaven...
Who orchestrated this entire affair Who manipulated this nearly century-long tragedy
Yin Guan had some suspicions, but he didn't have evidence to confirm them. It wasn't until today that Zhao Che confirmed it in his words.

Thus, everything becomes clear.
Why could Zhao Cang, with his cultivation level, lead the giant turtle that approached the True Power of the Cave
Why is it that this giant turtle, with only its physical strength, has already reached the pinnacle of divinity and approached enlightenment, yet its divine wisdom remains unclear
Because from beginning to end, this giant turtle was the pet of a powerful individual in Jingguo, not a naturally born, free-spirited strong being.
What Zhao Cang possesses is merely the key entrusted by the true master of the giant tortoise.
It was precisely through this that he usurped the right to rule Youguo, turning the sovereign into a puppet and controlling the government single-handedly.
Even Zheng Zhaoyang was blocked by the celestial and earthly separation for decades, so what could allow him to break through last year
But it was merely Jing Guo providing aid to protect Zhao Cang's life.
It's impossible for Jing Guo to send a master like Dong Zhen just to protect Zhao Cang. After all, one shouldn't live their whole life being a thief and expect to never be caught.
...theoretically, Yukio could handle it completely with just the power of his presence.
Thus, analyzing the overall situation of You Guo, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Cang has indeed utilized existing resources to the extreme and made the utmost effort.
The only thing he had overlooked was that he himself couldn't be there, and he wasn't aware of the depth of Yin Guan's talent. He didn't have any idea what level of combat power this kind of genius could possibly possess.

The gap between deities and deities can also be as vast as the ocean!

If he could truly understand Yin Guan's strength, he should realize that his resistance is pointless. The best option would be to abandon everything in Youguo and flee to the ends of the earth as soon as possible.
>
But perhaps... he just can't let go of all these years of hard work.
And after casting aside all his business and losing all his value, who would protect him How could he possibly escape the pursuit of hell's relentless doors
He made so much preparation, from public opinion, patriotism, and personal feelings, taking many aspects into account. If someone else had been in his place, perhaps Zhao Che could have survived...
But after all, he was facing Yin Guan.
He was a powerful being who first pushed the mystical arts to the realm of divinity. He was someone who forged his own path where there was none before.

Many people in the Land of You longed for Shangcheng, a place they regarded as heavenly. Now it can be destroyed with a mere flick of his hand.
Could he possibly be bound by mediocrity
According to the Daoli calendar, it was May 25th in the year 3921.
The king died, the prime minister perished, and the general was executed. The country was nearly destroyed.

On this day, Yin Guan sat quietly and watched the sunset for a while, and also listened to the wails for a while.
When the coroner Wang Xin came out of the coffin quite satisfied.
Yin Guan landed lightly from the sky and walked to King Bian Cheng's side. He calmly looked at the giant turtle in front of him and said, "The strongmen from Jing State are coming. We can't kill it today, let's go."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, Jiang Wang also heard the conversation between Yin Guan and Zhao Che.
Therefore, he could fully understand why Yin Guan stopped at this point.
Though this giant turtle beast is mentally confused, it has great potential in battle — if given enough time, they could potentially kill it working together.
It's a pity there's no time left.
The image of King Bian would naturally not sigh, so Jiang Wang merely coldly "hmm"ed, then left with Yin Guan side by side.
In less than three breaths' time, the Hell Gate that had wreaked havoc in Youguo was gone without a trace.
Only the bewildered Ukranian civilians and the gigantic turtle beast, already asleep, remained.
About two quarters of an hour later, a white rainbow pierced the sky and landed directly above Youguo.
From the white rainbow, a beautiful woman in palace attire materialized.
Her bearing was majestic, her aura as powerful as the sea. With every glance, noble elegance emanated from her. It was none other than Yan Yue, a real daughter of the Jingguo Imperial Family!
She stood high in the heavens, her terrifying presence bearing down upon them, as if she had lowered the entire sky by several degrees.
The massive turtle beast, who had been slumbering soundly, suddenly jolted awake, churning the vast celestial energy around it, appearing agitated and restless. But soon, from that familiar aura, it realized something and obediently lay down, showing its submission.
One after another, officials of the imperial court who emerged to command the military and civilians in rebuilding order saw this scene, and they all knelt down on the ground, calling the [blank] their "august master."
They had previously been unaware of the relationship between Jing Guo and the Guardian Divine Beast, a secret known only to the national prime minister. However, You Guo had always regarded Jing Guo as the superior nation. Although not formally part of its sphere of influence, it had always been submissive, providing continuous tributes. At this time, when all was in chaos after the loss of their leader, seeing the esteemed figure from the Upper Nation, they naturally prostrated themselves.
The dead king, the missing prime minister, the vanished general, the unconscious soldiers of the disgraced military banner, even the crumbling city and the kneeling officials—none could capture Ji Yan Yue's attention.
She just watched the giant turtle intently, making sure it wasn't fatally injured, before letting out a sigh of relief and casually asking, "Who did this"
Here is the translation:

"Report to the messenger, hell has no gate." Teng Bo, who was in charge of the city defenses on the upper level, stepped forward at this time and said: "Ten Yama kings have come, led by King Qin Guang Yin Guan, who was the lord of twenty-seven cities outside the city three years ago."
When he was wreaking havoc in the city without a gate to hell, he was the first one to hide. After True Person Jing Guo arrived, he was also the first one to stand up and respond. It can be said that he is a very efficient talent.

In two simple sentences, the matter was made clear. There wasn't a single superfluous word spoken.
Ji Yan Yue nodded slightly, probing the giant turtle's sea of consciousness while saying, "Would you be interested in being the sovereign"
Originally, Teng Bo couldn't even make it into the top three in Youguo Army. At this moment, he was overjoyed and immediately knelt down: "Little Wang has met Your Excellency! After a while, Little Wang will tidy up the palace, please Your Excellency to crown Little Wang!"
When Hell's Gate descended, judging Zhao Cang and Zheng Chaoyang as no match for him, he decisively hid to avoid battle.
After hearing Zhao Che's confession about the tortoise beast and Jing Guo's relationship, and seeing Ji Yan Yue's arrival, he judged that Ji Yan Yue would support a new ruling class and decisively stepped forward to pledge his loyalty.

He was very satisfied with his own judgment and decisiveness.
At this moment, please have Ji Yan Yue crown herself. This serves to demonstrate both respect and loyalty, showing that the interests of the Upper Kingdom will not be harmed. It also utilizes the prestige of the Central Empire of Daying to lend weight to her authority.
Afterward, he became the newly crowned king of Jing Guo. Who within You Guo would dare not obey
"Well, coronation..." Ji Yan Yue felt a bit amused and casually said, "Sure."
>
But at this moment, the turtle beast's eyes, large as houses, suddenly turned a murky green and became frenzied in an instant. It was about to rise and tear him apart.
A terror has arrived!
Ji Yan Yue casually pressed down, pinning it firmly in place. At the same time, she raised her eyes to the sky. A long black crack had just appeared in the heavens, like a gigantic vertical pupil staring back at her.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And from those vertical pupils, raging thunder and lightning twisted into beams of light, crashing down upon them!
This is the translated text:

This is the eye of a thousand calamities!
Yin Guan endured life and death struggles in the coastal islands, seizing the treasures left behind by Wanxian Palace from powerful factions surrounding places like Diaoluo Tower and Bajiao Island...
...but it is used here.
Boom!
The entire sky darkened.
The illusory lightning had coalesced into a tangible form, like a divine weapon from beyond the heavens, shattering the world's barriers.
This is definitely a terrifying attack that transcends the level of divine presence, possessing destructive power on a rule-based level.
The lightning pattern, woven from a multitude of bolts, contains countless possibilities for eruption.
But after all, a real person is still a real person.
Even in the era when the Nine Great Immortal Palaces reigned supreme, there was never any mention of a fairy treasure that allowed beings below immortals to challenge true immortals.
Ji Yan Yue flipped her right palm, and a bronze palace lantern rose into the air. With a gentle flicker of the wick, five-colored flames, existing between reality and illusion, spread across the sky like a sea of fire. Flowers bloomed like brocade, and the flames blazed like spring. It engulfed the entire lightning pillar without missing a single strand.
And then the five-colored flames rolled, and everything vanished into thin air.
The Eye of a Thousand Tribulations contains countless possibilities of tribulation, all of which are dispelled before they erupt. On the level of rules, they are not allowed to occur.
This is a real person of our time!
The heavens too had healed, as if nothing had ever happened.
Yin Guan's countermeasure proved futile, failing even to graze Ji Yan Yue's garment.
But at this moment, the ink-green in the turtle beast's eyes suddenly seemed like a layer of wallpaper peeling off, falling from its pupils. It floated and twisted in the air, transforming into a clear phantom, suspended in mid-air.
Long hair, handsome face, and an air of confidence.

It was Yin Guan.
>
He had no breath, and he was not lively, because this was just a still image.
This is the end of the paragraph.
As his long hair flowed, he spoke, "Mysterious expert of the Jing Kingdom, on behalf of myself and on behalf of Qin Guang Wang, the King of Hell's Unending Gate, I extend my greetings to you."
I don't know who you are yet, but I will.
Maybe you didn't know who I was before, but you should remember now.
>
I don't know why you made all of this, and I don't want to know.
In your long life, this might be a trivial challenge. But please remember, this challenge will make your life no longer long.
We will see each other again.

I believe that day won't be far off.
Then the sound dissipated, and the light and shadow vanished, leaving only emptiness between heaven and earth.
Ji Yan Yue raised her hand and gently tapped, pursuing that trace in the void. She delivered some of her power, but received little in return, failing to complete the capture.
Only then did she quirk her lips and say, "Interesting."
Just after Teng Bo had attained the supreme power of Youguo, he suddenly felt a bit dazed after witnessing this scene.
>
It was only then that he belatedly realized he had overlooked something.
The corpses of the king and the prime minister were right before his eyes, yet he had somehow forgotten how they died.
Once Zhao Che admitted the relationship between the Guoshi Sacred Beast and Jing Guo, and after the real person Ji Yan Yue of the present era appeared, Jing Guo would definitely support a new proxy to maintain the existing order. This is not hard to judge.
Then are other people really not as smart as him
Or are they just more afraid of dying
He felt a chill creep up his spine, unsure if he should be happy or afraid.
A private room in a certain restaurant.
Opposite Yin Guan, who was sitting with Jiang Wang, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The droplets of blood suspended in the air, were gently wiped away by Jiang Wang's touch, erasing their existence without falling on his face.
Yin Guan's mouth still had traces of blood, but he smiled and said, "Martial An Marquis, you have good skills. You were able to react to this."
Jiang Wang was both annoyed and amused: “You know you can't hurt a cultivator of today's era, so why provoke him face-to-face again”
Yin Guan said calmly, "Although I can't hurt her, she has already hurt me. Through this injury, we have created a connection. It's difficult for me to curse a real person for a long time, but I have enough patience."
It seems they were making arrangements for future conflicts.
Thus, even if a rare treasure was used, it would be worth it.
However, given Yin Guan's personality, he would never reveal such a matter concerning a future struggle for life and death. Unless Jiang Wang cautiously leaned back, widening the distance: "Master Jing Guo, I'm not convenient to take action. It would cause conflict between the two countries."
Of course, Marquis Wuan wouldn't be convenient." Yin Guan chuckled and said, "King Biancheng would be fine."

Jiang Wang stated very clearly: "I will not join the Hell No Door, our paths are different."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Who could force you As I said, you are free to come and go as you please." Yin Guan seemed to have just remembered something as he spoke, flipping his hand out a finely carved square jade box, placing it on the table and pushing it forward. "By the way, this is your payment for this operation."
"No need." Duke Jiang wasn't a greedy person. He shook his head and refused, "I haven't done anything. This trip is just to return the favor. From now on, we're even."
"The rules of our underworld are simple: you get what you put in. You don't owe me anything, and I dislike meaningless favors like that," Yin Guan said calmly. "So why not take a look"
As a high-ranking official with extensive knowledge and experience, Marquis Wuan simply smiled calmly. While casually opening the jade box with one finger, he said softly: "You have your principles, and I have mine. Regardless of what happens, this will be the last time I do something for you as King Bian."
"... Still to come..."

The jade box opened to reveal a solitary jade stone lying silently within.
This is a sample text.
A teardrop-shaped, luminous, eye-like jade.
Jiang Wang's heart almost immediately jumped out with a thought: the Eye-Seeing Immortal Canon!
"Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you," he finally choked out.
