Way of Overlord-Chapter 285: The Intrigue and Schemes

Since, then the Surya dynasty ruled almost all of Yindu. But everything has its time. There is time to rise and time to Fall. Surya died, the Ages of Gods and Heroes ended

The world is in chaos, order is disrupted, chaos reign, and Yindu fragmented into a thousand pieces.

But the name of Surya still held a sway. Yindu has been used to it. It broke off, unified again, only to break again when there is new problems.

Each time, one of these kings and Queens would claim their lineage to Surya, found supporters among the people and they would try to unify back the Empire.

But that is easier said than done.

Unifying Yindu is very hard.

The people are many but the problems are also many.

Since the first ruler unified Yindu, it has been so long since a true unification of the land happens.

There are of course some rulers that claimed they had unify Yindu but mostly their claims is a misrepresentation of the fact.

For example, there was a ruler called Paudava that once said that he had unify Yindu but while he came close to it, he never did unify all of Yindu.

And after his death, the southern part of his kingdom rebelled and his kingdom split again.

Since the death of Surya, since the end of the Ages of Gods and Heroes, Yindu had never bene truly unified.

It came close but it never did.

However, fifteen years ago, destiny of a unifier came again.

Some wiseman look at the stars, look at the sky, seeing the secrets of the universe, seeing the fate and destiny that only they could see and they see the star of the unifier shines brightly in two direction

One of them, they see pointed toward the Great Steppe. The star that pointed toward the Great Steppe is a faint star of the unifier.

The fate is unclear and murky.

And upon it these wiseman sees that an old wanderer would aid. A divine fate, a divine intervention.

And on the other one, they see the star pointed toward Yindu.

Finally, there is a fate of unifier among the people of Yindu

The wiseman who has seen this secret, some of them would wait to see whether this child could truly grow up and fulfil that destiny.

Some wanted to have a more direct say, so they come down the mountain, wanting to seek this child.

When these wiseman come down the mountain, would they not add chaos and create a self-fulfilled prophecy?

These wiseman believe that the unifier would come. And if the unifier were to unite Yindu, he must win it with a force of arms

This is their prophecy.

But one must know that these wiseman that come down the mountains are not like ascetics that doesn’t eat or drinks , or do religious rituals to find the truth of the universe

These wiseman read books, hone their body and mind and they are all talented in art of war, strategy, and deceit

When these wiseman come down the mountain, they would surely try to find the ruler of Yindu who has this fate of unifier.

Then what does this mean?

Just because they come down the mountain and wanted to help the unifier in his grand undertaking, doesn’t mean that they have eyes that could see people fate and destiny

So, in the end, they have to choose.

When these wiseman roams the world and chooses princes, kings and warlords, each one believe that the one they chose has the fate of the unifier, wont the world be in chaos at that time?

Won’t they self-fulfill their own prophecy? freёwebnoѵel.com

After all, each of these wiseman is great talents that could govern the world and pacify the world?

These happens fifteen years ago.

And while these wiseman is coming down their mountain to roam the world and find their destined lord, in the city of Surya, there was a miraculous occurrence.

There is a spring near the Palace of the Saurya dynasty.

Since most of the royalty of the Saurya dynasty remember, this spring has always been dead.

But that day the spring sprang back to life. It is the same day, a young prince was born

Saurya dynasty could trace its descent toward the Surya dynasty.

The birth of the child coincided with the appearance of the spring and the mystic that is in the palace announce the birth of a great ruler.

The Saurya King Xesara and his Queen Arma welcomed their son, Ashok that day. This young child was born amidst a backdrop of political turmoil and military fervour.

And when Ashok grow to adulthood, he had shown his talent

Since he was a child, he was educated in the arts of war, statecraft, and spiritual wisdom, among a few of his subjects

His intellect impresses his teacher, his curiosity sometimes even made his teachers annoyed.

But all great quality sets him apart from his other brothers.

The early years of Ashok, is nurtured in the crucible of strife, poised to shape an era. And now, fifteen years later, Ashok is a young man with great talent.

There are some gurus around him, mystics and wiseman that believe that he is the one that have the fate of the unifier.

A month ago, the King had died. And from the moment he died, Ashok knew that he must be strong

The fight for the throne would begin. And the princes rises and wanted to fight against each other

A tempest of ambition and sibling rivalry.

This is what is happening in Yindu right now.

If this young man managed to fight and win against his brother, one would wonder what would be the fate of Yindu?

Will it be plunged into an eternal war like it has been for hundreds of years?

Or would the words of the wiseman rang true, and Ashok would be the one to unify these war-torn lands?

This is the situation in Yindu.

The death of a king, the battle of the princes, the question of who would wear the crown and wield the power would be decided and impact Yindu as a whole

Ambition simmered, the rise of a blood-soaked conqueror!

Yindu will bathe in blood!

......

On the other side of the world, another empire is about to reach its turning point.

It is Yan empire ruled by the Jiang family, a four hundred years dynasty that is about to collapse.

In Yan, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to come to an end, but the rebellion is not the cause of chaos but the symptom of the sickness of Yan.

The subsequent events that happened after the rebellion causes Luoyang to be in chaos, death is all over the lands, warlords rising one after another, ambitious men schemed and plotted for the world

The Yan loses the Mandate of Heaven, the deer is lost and all the people under the Heaven chase the deer!

In these troubled time, the one suffering the most is none other than the common people

The aristocratic family is betting all over the world, ambitious strategies scheming for the world, virtuous people looking for their wise lord

Emperor of Yan, Emperor Ling had just died, the palace was shocked by the news and the power fell to Jian Shuo one of the Ten Eunuchs

Emperor Ling thought that Jian Shuo could pacify the chaos after his death and make sure that palace did not fall into chaos after his death, but Jian Shuo is far less powerful than he appeared

And with Jian Shuo in power....old grudges must be settled

Even during the lifetime of Emperor Ling, Jian Shuo and He Jin had always been fighting against each other, for power and profit and the two had accumulated a lot fog hatred against each other.

But their conflict iso not only personal but also is related to public matter

Jian Shuo wanted to enthrone Emperor Ling younger son Jiang Xie and kill He Jin. Wanting to kill two birds with one stone

With Jiang Xie in the throne, he could remain as powerful as he is before.

But why does he wanted to kill He Jin

This is because He Jin youngers sister is the Empress of Emperor Ling and Empress He also has a son named Jiang Bian

Just as Jian Shuo wanted Jiang Xie to rose to the throne, He Jin and his family also want their own people on the throne.

Jian Shuo wanted Jiang Xie, He Jin wanted Jiang Bian

Old grudges and new grudges must be settled. And the prize is the throne.

However, this matter is destined to be a failure. Jian Shuo no matter how capable he is in intrigue and scheming in the palace, how could it compare to a true general.

Jian Shuo execution ability is bad and he overestimated himself. The plan to kill He Jin was leaked

And He Jin take action. Jiang Bia was enthroned as Emperor Shao. At this time, he was only thirteen years old. The meaning of the name itself is young Emperor

He Jin arrested Jian Shuo for his conspiracy and Jian Shuo not only failed to kill He Jin and install Jiang Xie, he also lost his life.

And following Jian Shuo to the afterlife is all his immediate family and his clan, all of them were killed

The blue bricks on the ground in Jian Shuo mansion is stained with red and there was piles of heads in the execution ground

General he Jin supported Jiang Bian to ascend the throne, the reign name change and He Jin younger sister is now promoted from Empress He to Empress Dowager He
