Inside Cao Cao's army camp tent, Cao Aman stared grimly at the two junior commanders kneeling below.
He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the Martial General standing on either side, and asked, "Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"
" Ghost Soldier attacking the camp? Ha, what a joke! If there were Ghost in this world, the wronged spirits in your hands would have already torn you to pieces. Why wait until today?"
Having said that, he pointed to the two junior commanders kneeling below and said coldly, "These two are sowing discord among the troops. Drag them out and behead them!"
"My lord, we are innocent! My lord, we did indeed see Ghost Soldier!"
"My lord, my lord, we have not spoken falsely. We beg you to see the truth!"
The two voices faded into the distance, and soon, the tent returned to silence.
Cao Aman glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on a thin scholar in a blue robe standing near the door.
" Wenhe, why are you laughing alone?"
Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, was a strategist under Cao Aman. He was renowned in later generations for his ruthless schemes and made many contributions to Cao Aman in his later years.
However, Jia Xu is a cautious and prudent person. Although he has long been under Cao Aman's command, he has not yet shown any talent.
He knew that entering the imperial court was like entering a deep sea, and that the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin, so he often chose to protect himself.
However, the Jia Xu in the present moment is not the real Jia Xu, but Ling Yi. As for the real Jia Xu, he should be fast asleep in the woodshed.
"I scoff because you, Cao Aman, have taken two more innocent lives."
"You scoundrel! How dare you address your lord like that? You are truly audacious!"
"Such disrespect for their lord deserves death!"
"My lord, this man speaks frivolously, disregards the law, and has committed insubordination. I beg you to execute him!"
Before Cao Aman could speak, the Martial General and scholars jumped out first.
"Shut up, all of you!" Cao Aman roared.
Once everyone quieted down, Cao Aman stared intently at Ling Yi, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent.
Ling Yi, however, did not care at all. He stepped out from behind and slowly walked to a position less than five meters away from Cao Aman.
Seeing this, Xu Chu was worried that Ling Yi would harm Cao Aman, so he immediately stepped forward to block Ling Yi.
" Zhongkang, step back!" Cao Aman, dismissing Xu Chu.
"These two have spread rumors and sowed discord among the troops. Now that a great battle is imminent, how can we tolerate their nonsense? Are they not to be killed?" Cao Aman coldly.
Clearly, he wanted to have a serious argument with Ling Yi.
"They are telling the truth, so why kill them?" Ling Yi shouted.
"This is utter nonsense! If what they say is true, could it really be Ghost Soldier attack on our camp?" Cao Aman in anger.
"You feudal lords fight for supremacy, yet you bring suffering to the people; you call yourselves heroes, yet you commit countless acts of slaughter."
At this moment, Ling Yi's voice became erratic and hoarse.
Black mist emanated from his body, quickly enveloping him and obscuring his human form.
"Oh no! This is a demon! Protect our lord!" Xu Chu exclaimed in alarm. Since he was unarmed, he raised his fist and punched Ling Yi.
But the next moment, Xu Chu was sent flying backward, crashing to the side, his fate unknown.
Then, countless streams of black energy, as if they had eyes, enveloped the others, and the next moment, they all collapsed to the ground.
The black aura surrounding Ling Yi grew increasingly dense, constantly transforming into various human faces. Sometimes it was a commoner with a pained expression, sometimes a child with their mouth open as if wailing, or sometimes a soldier in armor with a distorted expression.
"The world is in chaos due to war, and the people are suffering. Nine out of ten houses are empty, and corpses are everywhere. You feudal lords have walked on corpses, leaving a trail of blood to this day. Are we supposed to live like ants?"
Ling Yi's voice became increasingly the Ethereal and eerie, as if countless people were pleading together.
Even Cao Aman was terrified by this scene.
Forcing himself to calm down, Cao Aman a deep voice, "Everything I have done is for the sake of the people. If we can unify the world, we can end this chaotic world as soon as possible."
"Haha, since you all revere slaughter, then let's fight my Ghost Soldier Ghost General to our hearts' content."
"To die and be born, to be born and die, countless bitter souls soar to the heavens in resentment, you who call yourselves heroes are nothing but idiots."
"I am the Motian, the battle never ends, I am immortal. Since you can contend for this world, then I, the Demon, will also contend for this world."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he flew up with a surge of black energy, and the next moment he broke through the top of the tent and soared into the sky.
Cao Aman, pale-faced and trembling, looked up at the gaping hole in the ceiling.
" Motian, there really are demons in this world! The world is in grave danger!"
At the same moment, a similar scene unfolded in the main hall of the Eastern Wu.
However, unlike Cao Aman's side, Ling Yi's Clone did not transform into anyone, but instead descended from the sky with a monstrous black aura, rushing straight into the main hall.
He told Sun Quan directly that the Ghost Soldier Ghost General were all wronged souls who had died unjustly, and that he, Motian, would use these wronged Ghost Soldier to contend with you, the feudal lords, for supremacy.
Two days later, an island appeared out of nowhere on the river.
This was taken directly from the green planet on the Star Ring by Ling Yi.
The island juts out very high above the river, surrounded by steep cliffs, making it inaccessible to ordinary people.
At the very center of the island stands a city, or more precisely, an imperial city.
Ling Yi went directly to Xuchang, moved the imperial city of Xuchang into the Star Ring, and then placed it on this island.
The island was teeming with Ghost Soldier, and black mist hung in the air.
Every now and then, thousands of Ghost Soldier would fly out from the island and disappear without a trace.
Cloned Clone, Multiple Shadow Clone, and Transformation Technique are the origin of countless Ghost Soldier.
With Ling Yi's current attributes, he can create a maximum of 1,000 Cloned Clone. Each Cloned Clone can then create 1,000 Shadow Clone using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. These shadow clones can be transformed into different forms using the Transformation Technique, and with the black Armament Haki covering them, they look no different from real Ghost Soldier.
In other words, theoretically, Ling Yi could create a maximum of one million Ghost Soldier.
Ling Yi did not directly attack the feudal lords; he needed to spread the news of the emergence of the Ghost Soldier throughout the world.
Let everyone know that the Ghost Soldier are the vengeful spirits of the dead. War and slaughter caused resentment to rise in the world, which gave birth to the Motian and these million Ghost Soldier.
Ling Yi wanted to see what choices these Three Kingdoms warlords would make under the threat of his million Ghost Soldier.
The " Ghost Soldier " sent out were merely there to make an appearance in various places and prove Ghost Soldier existence.
Suddenly, the whole country was in a state of panic, and all the feudal lords were in danger.
Cao Aman and Sun Quan first joined forces and Unification their armies.
Afterwards, the two sides jointly issued a proclamation to expel the demon, inviting all the lords of the world to join forces in eliminating the demon.
The audience who watched the entire process were incredibly excited and expectant, eager to know how the story would unfold next.
The live chat was incredibly lively.
[ God Ling really knows how to play the game; he turned the warring states period into a war between humans and demons.]
[Now I finally understand why God Ling always gets such high ratings; he completely disregards the original script and creates entirely new ones for himself.]
[The key point is that this method of forcibly creating a script is something other actors can't do. Even if they knew the method, what good would it do?]
[ God Ling is no longer on the same level as the other actors.]
Aren't you all curious about where God Ling's power comes from? From Wing Chun at the beginning to his current Infinite Clone, how did he acquire these skills?
[A treasure chest, right? Of all the actors who played the role, only God Ling received a treasure chest. That treasure chest must be extremely valuable.]
With God Ling suppressing the competition, how could other actors have a chance to get high scores? Without high scores, where would the treasure chests come from?
[Upstairs, even without God Ling's suppression, getting a high rating won't be easy, but it's foreseeable that the actor will cause even more trouble in the future.]
[Making trouble is fine, but it has to fit the script. Haven't you noticed that although God Ling's actions are all quite big, they all conform to the movie script's setting?]
[That's right, to put it simply, you need a theme, either following the plot's theme or creating your own.]
[You see, the theme of God Ling's work this time is very clear: war brings disaster, disaster incites resentment in heaven and earth, and resentment gives rise to Motian and Ghost Soldier who then turn against humanity. This clearly has an anti-war message.]
[The explanation upstairs immediately made it sound more sophisticated.]
[It's suggested that other actors don't try to create their own themes like God Ling; it's better to follow God Ling's themes, which might help them achieve higher scores.]
That makes sense!
While Cao Aman and Sun Quan were busy gathering together the various warlords, Ling Yi was not idle either.
He flew around alone, searching for seeds of various crops and filling his Star Ring with all sorts of creatures.
From tiny ants, earthworms, bees, butterflies, small fish and shrimp, to enormous creatures like wolves, tigers, leopards, horses, elephants, whales, and sharks.
Basically, he would put whatever he saw into the Green Star in his Star Ring.
Sometimes they would even take the entire city and its inhabitants, along with the nearby farmland.
Ling Yi acquired six such cities with farmland.
After all this commotion, Green Star finally stopped Death Qi and gradually became lively again.
However, the disappearance of the six cities and the imperial city spurred the unity of the various feudal lords.
The Motian are erasing cities one by one; if this continues, sooner or later the Tianxia Society become a dead zone inhabited only by demons.
September 19th, the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD).
Inside the main tent of the Alliance forces, Cao Aman sat in the main seat, flanked by Sun Quan and Liu Bei on his left and right.
Following them in order are Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, Xu You, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, and other top-ranking civil and military officials from various Martial General.
"Gentlemen, our battle against the demons concerns the lives of all people under heaven. We can only win this battle; we cannot afford to lose," Cao Aman stood up and said loudly.
"Now is the time for us all to unite as one. Since His Majesty has appointed me Cao Mengde, as the commander of the allied forces, I, Cao Mengde, will make this clear from the outset: if anyone disobeys orders, refuses to follow instructions, or acts out of self-interest, then don't blame me, Cao Mengde, for showing no mercy."
Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and the others all lowered their heads, a flash of disdain passing through their eyes.
The current emperor is being manipulated by you; your position as commander of the allied forces is illegitimate and unjustified. Who is willing to submit to you?
But with the battle against the demon imminent, no one will dwell on this matter at this time.
After surveying the crowd, Cao Aman narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The demons are powerful, Ghost Soldier are numerous. I wonder what your opinions are? Please feel free to speak."
Everyone frowned. Although they were not convinced by Cao Aman, what Cao Aman said was true.
Most people have absolutely no idea how to deal with demons.
Just then, Zhuge Liang stood up, shook his feather fan, and said, "Gentlemen!"
All eyes were on him.
"I wonder what strategies Strategist Kongming has?" Cao Aman asked.
"According to what that Motian said, these Ghost Soldier were born because of our war. Could it be that if there were no war, and the resentment of heaven and earth gradually dissipated, the strength of these Ghost Soldier would decrease?"
