Chapter 1539 – The First Year of Qin Miao
The entire Canglan Continent was immersed in an excitement like never before.
However, Qin Nan did not attend the celebration feast or the meeting to disband the Anti-Heaven Alliance. He visited the Lost Herb Garden.
Every major faction was involved in the war, except the Lost Herb Garden.
"Are…are you serious that you want to marry the princess?"
The experts of the Lost Herb Garden gathered inside a palace. Martial God Tang Mu seated in the leading position was silent at the beginning, before his expression started to change upon hearing Qin Nan's following sentence.
"Yes, the princess's parents are no longer around. I can only ask fellow seniors here to give testimony."
Qin Nan wore a stern look.
He clearly understood his feelings when the princess was killed.
He was also clear of his feelings toward Jiang Bilan.
Even though it was normal for most experts in the Canglan Continent to have a few wives and concubines, he only wanted to marry the princess, just one.
"We…we won't be able to do it for now," Martial God Tang Mu slowly said after a long pause, "If what you said is real, you can come back when the princess has come back to life. After all, it can only be done with both of you here."
He let out a sigh as he finished the sentence.
It was entirely impossible to say that he did not feel any hatred toward Qin Nan, yet he had learned one thing when he saw Qin Nan's resolution.
Despite what happened, Qin Nan was a worthy person to be entrusted with the role of taking care of the princess for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, the misfortune happened.
"Seniors, you have my thanks." Qin Nan fell silent for some time before he bowed three times at the Martial Gods around him and said firmly, "I'll surely bring the princess back to life."
Following it, Qin Nan left the palace, but he did not leave the Lost Herb Garden.
He went to the princess' palace, to the tower where she cultivated in seclusion, to learn more about her life.
He was amused by what he learned. The princess was already so adorable when she was young.
"Princess, you won't need to worry about your people after we go to the Nine Heavens. I'll turn this place into a forbidden land that no one is allowed to trespass."
Qin Nan began to construct several formations. He even left quite a number of the successions he had received from Empress Feiyue, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, and the other authorities at the place.
The whole Canglan Continent went through a remarkable change during this period.
The ancient secrets and legendary stories were spread wildly among the cultivators after the ban was lifted.
People began to record down the series of events.
On top of that, after the South-Heaven Sacred Ground was defeated, the Battle Tribe, Heavenly Fortune Tribe, Nine Words Ancient Sea, and other factions took over its territories.
The Dragon Emperor chose not to ascend to the Nine Heavens. It was planning to rebuild the God Beast Forbidden Ground once Little Worm retrieved its flesh.
Sima Kong and Longhu went along quite well. They visited lots of factions to enjoy themselves and stole much valuable stuff.
Empress Feiyue decided to stay temporarily. She seemed to have some special feelings toward the Canglan Continent. She used a shocking method to restrict the primordial rules of the Heavens and Earth.
She had done so to prevent existence like the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking from reappearing again.
Meanwhile, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the other authorities spread the heroic sacrifices made by the cultivators who had fallen in the war after the Anti-Heaven Alliance was disbanded.
Every city and faction was only building statues of Qin Nan, but they soon added statues of Empress Feiyue, and the other cultivators too.
The second continent was specifically made a memorial ground.
It contained everyone's statue and records of the incident.
However, something happened during this period.
The Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the rest of the authorities did not tell anyone about what Qin Nan had gone through. They even asked everyone to keep it a secret, yet the truth was still leaked in the end
Even without anyone trying to spread the news on purpose, it quickly spread to every corner in the Canglan Continent.
In the end, everyone knew about the truth.
Many fell silent after learning the truth.
they never thought Qin Nan had already lost a soulmate when he first achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on his own. He then lost Princess Miao Miao when he was attempting to achieve the Martial God Realm.
He was basically the strongest cultivator of the entire continent throughout history, yet he was most likely suffering greatly instead of feeling any joy.
It would take him a long time to walk out from the pain
"Qin Nan has started a new era. We all owe him a favor, yet we have no idea how to repay his kindness. Why don't we set this day as the first year of Qin Miao?"
An authority suggested.
No matter how strong a cultivator was, everyone would die eventually. As such, many cultivators tried to leave their names behind by establishing factions, or recruiting disciples.
They wanted to leave something behind.
The Canglan Continent never had an era with a name, thus they decided to combine Qin Nan's surname and Princess Miao Miao's name as the name for the new era, since it had a great meaning to it.
Even Qin Nan's achievements would be lost in history one day, but the name would always exist, and would not be replaced easily.
"Today…is the first day of the first year of Qin Miao."
Surprisingly, the words were quickly spread to every corner in the Canglan Continent too. Many cultivators agreed with the name of the era.
However, someone soon mentioned about Jiang Bilan.
It was quite impossible to include her name too, thus they had no choice but to find another way to remember her contribution.
Some expert suggested setting every fourteenth of February as the Nanlan Day. On this particular day, all factions were not allowed to kill, and any marriage would be blessed abundantly.
However, some people did not agree with it. They changed the date to the seventh of July, before it ended up on the twenty-ninth of July.
However, it only happened after some time.
"It's time to head back."
Qin Nan entered the rift. He had yet to visit his father after he achieved the Martial God Realm. However, a message caught his attention when he just entered the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword.
Many people immediately fixed their eyes on the flying sword too.
It was because it was the first time someone was attempting to ascend since the start of the Qin Miao era.
The person was one of the greatest authorities, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
"Qin Nan, we shall meet again in the Nine Heavens!"
The Martial Serendipity Pavilion triggered the Tribulation of Ascension and successfully overcame it. It soon disappeared from the Canglan Continent.
Its action soon started a trend of ascension in the Canglan Continent.
