Chapter 5
I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

“What’s happening?”

“Why did the earth suddenly shake? Could it be a dragon turning over beneath us?”

“That shouldn’t be possible…”

The 200,000-strong army of the Mo Kingdom was thrown into chaos.

Just then, at the heart of the iron mine, there was a sudden, thunderous roar. The ground split open and collapsed downward, forming a massive pit. Dust swiftly rose into the air, obscuring the sun and darkening the sky.

However, this was far from over; the collapse rapidly spread from the inside out.

It was as if the earth had opened a gaping maw, devouring everything from the outside world.

Boom, rumble, rumble

The army of the Mo Kingdom panicked!

“Disaster strikes, the iron mine has collapsed!”

“The collapse is so fast, run for your lives! If we don’t run now, we’ll be dead!”

“Run… Ah! Help!”

His Highness the Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom, who was standing on the periphery, was also thrown into panic at this moment.

“Your Highness, the iron mine has suddenly collapsed, the situation is extremely critical, we must escape quickly!”

The Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom did not hesitate and nodded: “Right, let’s hurry!”

“Your Highness, riding horses is too slow, allow me to carry you!”

Immediately, an Innate expert stepped forward, hoisted the Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom onto his back, and dashed swiftly towards the outside.

At that moment, the entire Mo Kingdom’s army was fleeing for their lives without a care.

However, their speed of escape was no match for the speed of the mountain collapsing. More and more soldiers and horses, unable to run fast enough, were swallowed by the deep pit, their fate unknown.

The rumbling noise continued as if thunder was striking from the heavens.

Amidst this tremendous din, there were cries for help filled with despair.

But now, everyone was only concerned with saving their own lives, who could spare a thought for others?

Thus, more and more people were consumed.

About half an hour later, it all came to an end.

The entire mountain had vanished, leaving only dust swirling in the air.

The Crown Prince of the Mo Kingdom looked around at the few remaining people and the immense pit before him, his face pale and drained of strength, he collapsed, muttering, “It’s over! Everything is over!”

After uttering those words, he fainted.

“Your Highness!”

“Wake up, please, Your Highness!”

……

This event spread rapidly throughout the land, leaving everyone in the world stunned.

“The iron ore mine collapsed, burying 200,000 troops of the Mo Kingdom?”

“This land was only ceded less than a day ago, and such a bizarre incident has already occurred!”

“The Mo Kingdom has suffered a devastating loss. They paid so much in gold, silver, and jewels, not to mention the most beautiful woman of the Mo Kingdom, and in the end, they gained nothing but lost 200,000 troops! It is said that the Crown Prince of the Mo Kingdom fainted on the spot!”

“How could he not faint? 200,000 soldiers gone just like that—what country could bear such a loss?”

“Indeed, the total military strength of the Mo Kingdom is only 600,000!”

“F*ck! With this move, the Xia Kingdom has made a killing!”

“Indeed, they’ve struck it rich! They’ve got money, food, and beautiful women, and even the threat at the border has been eliminated. Could it be that the heavens are favoring the Xia Kingdom?”

“This luck is truly defying the heavens!”

……

The entire Mo Kingdom is in mourning, while the Xia Kingdom is in jubilation.

Within the Xia Kingdom’s court, officials sing praises and extol virtues.

“Your Majesty, it is said that just as the 200,000-strong army of the Mo Kingdom had settled into the iron mine, a collapse occurred! Because it happened so swiftly, not a single one of the 200,000 soldiers of the Mo Kingdom managed to escape; they all perished and were buried there!”

“In the end, only the Mo Kingdom’s Crown Prince and a few generals managed to flee!”

“The threat from Mo Kingdom has been greatly diminished!”

“Your Majesty, what does this indicate? It indicates that Heaven favors Xia Kingdom, that the heavens themselves are protecting us!”

“Heaven favors Xia Kingdom? It is clearly… Heaven favors Your Majesty!”

“You are right, it is clearly Heaven favoring Your Majesty!”

“May Heaven bless Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!”

Flattery came rolling in, puffing Lin Beifan up until he was quite disoriented.

And so, Lin Beifan couldn’t help but laugh proudly, “Haha… My dear officials, what you say is true, but let’s not speak of it anymore! I am an upright person, a noble person, someone who has risen above base interests, and I can’t stand flattery and sycophantic praise! So, in the future, pay attention and just give a little compliment, that will suffice. Too much and I can’t take it, haha!”

The officials bowed their heads and averted their eyes, their hearts filled with sneers.

Shit!

He dares to call himself an upright person!

A noble person!

Someone who has risen above base interests!

And claims he can’t stand flattery and sycophantic praise…

Your damn mouth is twisted in such a grin that you can’t even open your eyes!

First, straighten out that expression on your face before you say that to us!

However, faced with Lin Beifan, who is the Emperor, they could only say anxiously, “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Lin Beifan laughed triumphantly, “Now, who dares to say that I favor beauties over the state? Who dares to call me a foolish emperor? Clearly, I have far-sighted wisdom, having seen through the true worth of the iron mine long ago. That’s why I ceded that land, to lure the enemy into a trap! Now, do you understand the painstaking efforts I’ve made? Haha…”

The officials sneered in their hearts once again.

I don’t believe you for a second!

It’s clear that it was your lust for beauty that led you to cede the land!

But as it turned out, it was a blessing in disguise!

Such dumb luck!!!

“His Majesty is wise!” the officials once again said in unison.

Lin Beifan continued to laugh proudly: “Haha…”

The entire court was filled with his smug and arrogant laughter.

The officials were feeling so uncomfortable inside, it’s better left unsaid.

After laughing, Lin Beifan cleared his throat and said with all seriousness, “Alright, it’s time to discuss serious matters! Now, the Mo Kingdom has lost 200,000 troops, leaving their national defense vulnerable. This is a godsend opportunity for our Xia Kingdom! I have decided to dispatch 200,000 troops to invade the Mo Kingdom, to conquer cities and expand our territory! My loyal ministers, what are your thoughts?”

    wtf? he can literally just delete any troops like this by just shuffeling it around....
    also that shouldn't even have worked. it clearly wasn't his territory. so moving the iron mine should have not been possible.

        What? He took the iron so it comapsed. And at this point it was already sold to the mo cuntrie and occupied by there army. Otherwise the colaps would have not killed them.
        It was therfor not in his theretory. Which is supposedly the premise of his power.
        If he did it bevor it would have collapsed bevor theynocupied it.
        If he did it after it was not in his territory.
        Regardless it makes no sense.

          Well The core of the issue is when the system recognised that territory has been lost or gained

          Byt perhaps in this instance the wording of the deal is significant
          Since he only agreed to trade the territory instead of the initial proposal

          In which case, despite the territory on which the mine resides was lost
          The mine itself was not traded, therefore still being within his jurisdiction

          If he tried to move the mine into enemy territory it most likely wouldn't work
          But since he was just moving it back to within his borders there was no issue

            That is not how the system works. It is territory based which is made clear multiple times. Would also be nonsensical outherwise. How would it even Destin guess the ore repository from the rest of the territory?
            It simply matters where his territory is.
            And even if that was the case at the latest when it was taken over by soldier it should very clearly have counted as captured territory. So even then it would not have made sense.

          What happened is that when removing all the iron ore it left a large hole under the ground, and when that large number of soldiers passed through that ground it could no longer resist and collapsed. Because that soil without the iron mineral was left with a very thin layer of soil 😅

            If you remove millions of tons of ore the mine IS going to colaps instantly. Simply no way around that. And even if would magically not then few tons of soilders is not gonna change that.
            That is simply not how physics works.
            Like your logic is literally this: a bridge get hit by a giant meteor and doesn't colaps. Then someone walks on the bridge and it collapsed.

            This is not a cartoon where physics adapt to whatever is funnier.

                Oh yes the good old "my argument makes no sense so now physics do not work cause.... Fantasy" argument.
                A classic. Yet such a dumb argument as you can very clearly see gravity working just normally in all other situation... Like just accept it makes no sense.

                  Yes gravity work wonders, sword energy, flying sword, heavy hammer, running speed almost like F1 cars, energy sield without battery or external energy all from human body, all that's can be explained with common sense, so fantasy novel must have common sense, so why bother to read it? Just read slice of life not fantasy, fantasy in itself is explained everything,

                  This is like saying "oh planes can fly so gravity isn't real".
                  Magic can (like technology) *counteract*gravity. That does not mean that it does not exist.
                  Now if his ability was "moved the ore and make it colaps when you want" that would make perfect sense. But it is not. It is simply to move it.
                  Magic can do things that are not possible In reality (or we haven't figures out yet) but only if that is what it is actually supposed to do.
                  Magic and technology basically work the same. They do a certain thing (you might without them think is impossible) but only that thing and without messing with basic forces (unless that is what the magic does).
                  Just because someone can fly with magic doesn't mean that they can fly without magic. Gravity still applies.
                  Just cause a plain can fly doesn't mean you can.
                  This dumb "if there exist magic reason doesn't" is illogical. Magic is like any other natural force in reatly just more controllable.

          lemme join this discourse... he can literally see everything in his kingdom, and as the wording has said it was the land with the iron mine which was given, not the iron mine itself. He just took the iron when the army was standing in the most collapsible part of the mine.

            That is not how it works. The land of the iron mine *does* involve the iron mine. Caus it is on that land. borders don't work like that. Like just look at any political map.

              yes, but you see you are working on the logic of our world, just like how the system has an unclear definition of what belongs to him and what's not, it has an all-seeing eye on everything(
              . So it could very well consider land as land, and resources as resources, separate categories. Maybe it works like how most games work nowadays, with you just buying the rights to play the game, and not anything in it
              .

                It is a territory system. It only recognizes territory (and what is on that teritory logically)
                There is a difference between ownership and absolut ownership. A cuntry can own stuff in other countries. But the absolute land ownership (which is what Territory is) can only be by 1 country and is only based on Territory. In terms of absolut ownership stuff like that simply doesn't exist.
                It also isn't to related to what world. The system clearly only recognizes landownership and nothing else. It is made rather clear overtime something like this happens.

                  The system treats it as a leasing type, just like how even though he gave land to his people it was still his. Unless earned through conquering, his land will always be his.

                  No as I said this simply does not exist...
                  That is the difference between absolut and normal land ownership... I literally just wrote that. The difference is not that comilicated... if you buy a Hause in brazile it is still in brazile. Even if you bought it. There simply is always absolut and legal landowership. Those are 2 separate conzepts.
                  His system clearly only recognized absolut landownership. And most defiantly not only throw cobquest. Regardless this is going nowhere.
