I Can Control My Ancestors

Chapter 676 - 111: A Seven-Year-Old Emperor—How Can He Rule the World

Sponsored

This is still a brilliant era.

Though not as universally known as the Three Kingdoms period, it is also full of countless human tragedies.

But what cannot be denied is.

In chaotic times—

it has always been the time for heroes to rise.

Various powerful figures use their methods, racing toward the supreme throne in this brilliant era.

Either they shine brilliantly until their death, or they end in obscurity.

Gu Yi has always been silently observing all of this, contemplating the path for the entire Kyushu amidst the changing times.

It’s worth mentioning that Gu Yi intervened with the family members through the Spirit Communication Jade.

Ambition is a part of human nature that cannot be avoided, and the Gu Clan members are no exception, thinking of using the Gu Clan’s immense reputation to achieve something in this chaotic world.

This is also another path.

However, in the end, Gu Yi will not act this way, whether to restore the Gu Clan early or to live up to the deeds of the ancestors, he needs to quell this fire.

In fact, it was not Gu Yi forcibly making the entire Gu Clan make this choice.

On the contrary, this is the choice of generations of the Gu Clan.

He once manipulated Gu Xiao to lead the rise of the entire Gu Clan, and later Gu Kang relinquished power facing the former emperor’s entrusted orphan, Gu Xi even helped the court with several affairs, and subsequent members of the Gu Clan did the same.

This is the choice made by generations of the most stunning geniuses within the Gu Clan.

People of their ability did so.

Not to mention these disciples of today.

Of course, this is just one aspect.

Gu Yi truly cares about the rapid recovery of the entire family.

To say nothing of...

The upcoming invasions from foreign races and the grand chaos of establishing a nation in the Kyushu land, the Gu Clan can no longer stay out of it.

This is certain.

The Gu Clan rose in Kyushu, its roots are integrated with Kyushu’s rise and fall.

It has protected the entire Gu Clan for hundreds of years.

And the Gu Clan will inevitably stand up in its weakest moment, this is the unavoidable responsibility of the Gu Clan.

This is what Gu Yi values most.

...

Time flies.

Chaotic times have always been like this; they make the whole world forget the passage of time.

Today it’s this reign title, and tomorrow it’s already another.

As the saying goes, the great waves wash the sand, and times never wait for anyone.

The idea of unifying Kyushu endows this land with unique spirituality and promotes the rise of generations of powerful figures, swallowing those supporting actors in chaotic times.

This chaotic world indeed is too chaotic.

Far incomparable to the original five dynasties and ten kingdoms in history.

The development of maritime trade greatly promoted economic progress, making various large clans earn a bountiful fortune.

And this also further fueled their ambitions.

To say nothing of other places.

Even in Hebei, there were large clans with other thoughts, even attempting to push the Gu Clan forward, which is also why Gu Yi had to decide to intervene.

It’s very clear.

Compared to the last chaotic time at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Gu Clan can no longer maintain absolute seclusion.

There are many reasons for this.

The most critical is the chain reactions caused by the great ethnic integration.

Someone always wants to drag the Gu Clan into the water.

Among them are good and evil, which are also the various challenges the Gu Clan must face now, and Gu Yi must personally intervene to stabilize all these.

Of course, it’s not just like this.

Gu Yi also chose to promote the concept of "unification" again through Gu Academy.

This is also a bit of Gu Yi’s personal desire.

Though within Kyushu, none of this needs Gu Yi’s worries, perhaps doing so can ultimately accelerate the end of chaotic times, and also keep the Gu Clan safe, no matter what Gu Yi must try it out.

It’s worth mentioning that Gu Academy’s development is quite effective now.

Even with the chaos in the world as it is.

But such chaotic times also bring about a booming development of academia, whether it’s Gu Academy or Yunshao Pavilion.

These two top sanctuaries played a very good role in these times.

They even have the appearance of swaying the world, which indeed was somewhat beyond Gu Yi’s expectations.

Besides, he’s made some interventions in Ryukyu Island.

Gu Yi has always been preventing Ryukyu Island from getting involved in the chaotic times of Kyushu through the Gu Clan, not for anything else, but to avoid possible splits.

Unfortunately, as time goes by, the influence of the Gu Clan continues to diminish.

Only Ryukyu can still be controlled.

And regarding the foreign races from all directions, once they discovered that whether it’s Kyushu or the Gu Clan, both were in a period of weakness, they finally broke free from the Gu Clan’s control.

And perhaps, they were also influenced by the Central Plains.

Even the foreign races, who mostly relied on alliances in the past, started fighting among themselves, trying to establish an unprecedented centralized dynasty.

A new era slowly unfolds amidst all this chaos.

Great chaos rages on from all directions.

Whether inside Kyushu or outside Kyushu.

Blood stains every inch of land.

Crying and the sound of swords and blades intertwine, as if no more sound of silence can return between heaven and earth.

And under the shadow of chaos, some people begin to explore new paths.

Feudal lords rise together, the powerful occupy regions, some proclaim emperors amidst blood and fire, others light lamps in the dark, refugees gather and disperse, soldiers change sides, loyalty and betrayal often take just a moment’s thought.
