I Am Xiangyu, Here to Stop You

In the human world, at Jinhua Mountain.

Jiang Sheng had barely returned from the East Sea when news arrived from every quarter.

Universal Emperor Ji Zhang told Jiang Sheng that the Yu Dynasty was under attack on two fronts. The Qian Dynasty to the north and the southwestern tribes were throwing away lives to assault its border defenses.

Their frenzied attacks looked less like attempts to seize cities and land than attempts to die.

Gao Yan had also sent a succession of urgent reports from the Netherworld. They had stopped the Great Qian Ghost Dynasty's advance, but the gods worshiped by the southwestern tribes were attacking the Yu Dynasty's ghost cities, devouring its incense offerings and fortune bit by bit.
