The Northern Border Rebellion

A thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of swirling snow.
This scene revealed a high wall dividing the silver-clad world into two halves.
And in the world beyond the wall, a vast forest lay hidden in the ice and snow.
That was the Ancestral Land of the northern Tianshuang Dynasty, protected by ancient exotic beasts and inherited from countless ages ago. Among them, the most famous seven exotic beasts were the Ice Soul Divine Dragon, the Green Water Golden-Eyed Beast, Zhulong, Taowu, the White Tiger, the White Ox, and the Tongbi Ape.
These seven exotic beasts possessed immense ice and snow power within their bodies, which was the fundamental reason for the existence of the entire northern ice plains.
The seven exotic beasts represented seven types of power and seven types of weapons. Each beast was a divine beast of the Tianshuang Empire, as well as a necessary condition to become an expert.
Within the Tianshuang Dynasty, people believed that the Ice Seed, which held the inherited power of the seven exotic beasts, was a necessary factor to become an expert. However, the seven Ice Seeds would not appear simultaneously.
Usually, they appeared once every few hundred years. An expert who possessed the power of an Ice Seed would become the brightest star of the Tianshuang Dynasty.
Even the Tianshuang Royal Family had to bow before these heroes.
Unfortunately, in the great war of several hundred years ago, the man known as the Martial God of the southern Great Gan Dynasty had stripped away their glory.
The man named Yue Wu had not only killed the possessor of the Ice Seed but had also forced the Tianshuang Dynasty to submit to the Great Gan Dynasty, initiating a centuries-long relationship of continuous political marriages. By now, even the Holy Maiden of the Tianshuang Dynasty had been taken to the wicked southern dynasty to become a mere concubine of its ruler, infuriating countless Tianshuang citizens! Now, within the Tianshuang Dynasty, undercurrents surged. Everyone harbored resentment toward the current Tianshuang King, Ge Lei.
It seemed all of this was tied to the weakness of the Tianshuang Royal Family! On this day, the entire ice plain suddenly began to tremble.
In the sky, numerous white meteors suddenly streaked across. Even as night fell, they fell like massive stars... The elders' eyes filled with hot tears. Such a familiar scene only appeared in the fairy tales of their childhood.
"The Ice Seed... the Ice Seed has appeared!"
No one knew who shouted, but the voice spread across the entire ice plain, throwing the Tianshuang Empire into a frenzy.
A brand-new Ice Seed had appeared, meaning the glory once stripped away by the Great Gan Dynasty could shine once more. However, before the people's hopes and ambitions could be fully displayed,
The top of the grand tent belonging to Tianshuang King Ge Lei was suddenly torn open from within... Tianshuang King Ge Lei, handsome and majestic, slowly emerged before the world, holding a white longsword.
Whether it was his thick dark eyebrows or his resolute jaw, everything displayed his tough style and robust physique!
"Tianshuang, war!"
"Great Gan, destroy!"
In the eyes of the Tianshuang King, who had once been highly anticipated, fire seemed to spit out.
The white longsword in his hand suddenly slashed toward the distance!
A massive White Tiger roared out from the sword, charging toward the distant horizon.
......
The massive White Tiger did not have a single stray hair on its body. In its blue eyes, the entire starry sky seemed to be hidden... The black character for "King" on its forehead looked as if space itself had been torn apart... Within the blackness lay surging power!
......
"It is the White Tiger!"
"The White Tiger Ice Seed has appeared!"
"Tianshuang has hope!"
......
On the city wall, the Great Gan soldiers were accustomed to guarding the distant horizon... There was no poetry or farmland there; there were only countless enemies and hidden dangers in the forest. Beneath the endless ice and snow lay their northern neighbor, who had always dominated the north, appearing docile yet harboring wild ambitions.
The soldiers on the wall kept their vigil... even if their lives were ultimately spent in the company of the dark night.
Countless sleepless nights, all for the peace of the lit lamps in every home.
Suddenly!
Someone felt the air grow freezing cold... Some strange change seemed to occur in the distant world.
Someone reported it to the commanding officer.
Unfortunately,
As a claw of the massive White Tiger, taller than the city wall, crashed down from the sky, everyone realized it was all in vain.
Whether they were Houtian, Xiantian, or even the Deputy General who had just broken through to the Upper First-Grade Realm and had not yet recovered from his joy, all were frozen beneath the dreamlike body of the White Tiger... Immediately after, amidst the earth-shaking roar of the White Tiger, they shattered into glittering fragments, merging with the world. No one knew where the frozen hands of the soldiers lay, nor where the final tears of the soldiers flickered with fear and courage.
Even as the White Tiger passed, the massive city wall collapsed, and countless vigils ultimately came to naught. The land behind them once again welcomed the trampling of a long-unseen enemy.
......
At this point, the Northern Border defense line was cut open with a massive gap by a single strike from Tianshuang King Ge Lei!
Countless ambitious warriors of the Tianshuang Empire poured in!
They wiped out the weak areas behind the Great Gan Dynasty's city wall.
......
The Northern Border Rebellion.
The Great Gan Dynasty was shaken from top to bottom.
Emperor Li, who was currently performing rituals, looked dazed, showing no interest in the noisy discussions of the ministers.
Finally, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a civil official stood up.
Emperor Li opened half an eye. "Well, Guangda Baola, what is the result of your deliberation?"
The civil official named Guangda Baola cleared his throat, speaking words that the ministers found unbelievable.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Northern Border Rebellion is not worth fearing!"
For a moment, the crowd fell into chaos.
However, Guangda Baola did not continue speaking, and Emperor Li remained silent. Gradually, even the proud ministers noticed something strange... Not a single person dared to speak.
Though many people stood in the grand hall, it felt as if there was no one.
......
Only then did Guangda Baola speak again.
"The Tianshuang Empire is likely only attacking our wall to save face and give their subjects an explanation... In my opinion, we only need to give them a warning to easily repel the enemy."
Emperor Li nodded. "What is the plan?"
Guangda Baola bowed. "We only need to banish Consort Li, who was presented by the Tianshuang Empire, to the Cold Palace, and dispatch someone to the Tianshuang Empire to warn them. We can then win without fighting!"
Emperor Li finally cleared his throat. "Is there anyone with a different opinion?"
......
The noisy road fell completely silent.
