Divine Brilliance - Chapter 984
Chapter 984: Things Are Just So Coincidental
“Not only one? Which means that person has attacked already?”
Zong Shou looked around as his qualms were slightly relieved.
Just now, he found it weird, after all Li Wuque was a Saint Venerable and couldn’t have decided to retreat after just clashing with Tan Kongbian.
He was probably forced to do so and had no choice.
At this moment, he had a rough understanding of the strength of the Lu Family Hall Heads.
Alone, they couldn’t fight an End Realm, but when there were two or more they could win.
“If he didn’t, how could Li Wuque be forced back? Today, I finally witnessed how overbearing the Sky Burning Lu Family. Li Wuque was helpless. A Sky Burning Saint Dynasty had the fighting strength of close to 12 End Realm Saint Venerables, not to mention the three actual ones who retired. They had dozens of Saint Realm Elders and tens of thousands of Heaven Grade Dao Soldiers. Even I am worried of such strength. Your Great Gan is still too far away from challenging them…”
Zong Shou acknowledged and didn’t reply.
He knew what Dragon Shadow mentioned was the strength they showed on the surface.
Who knows whether or not they had any other hidden cards?
However, just this portion was already a huge beast to him.
But he wouldn’t fall so easily to this pressure and lose his confidence.
So what if they had 800 medium-sized worlds?
His Great Gan would rule over it one day!
In the past, he didn’t bother much about those who ruled ten thousands worlds. He only did all he could and treated them seriously.
He felt that if he used his identity as the Crown Prince to take over to help his Mother and Lu Beiwu, he would never be able to straighten his back.
Then, what about crushing this arrogant and overbearing Sky Burning Saint Dynasty under his feet one day?
As he thought about this, his lips curled up and a smile appeared.
He felt that the sense of loss around him since he came out of the Nine Extreme Death Jail had all faded.
However, this path was extremely far. He should work hard from this moment on. He had to grab each chance and each possible moment he had.
He needed more Dao Soldiers, he needed to control more worlds and he needed more cultivators.
He also needed stronger cultivation and strength.
When one day his sword would be invincible, then Great Gan would become the ruler of all worlds!
Luckily. the Dao Soldier system of Great Gan had already formed and he had Aokun and Aoyi helping.
It could get into the swiftly expanding train.
Yuanlian World and the region around would be stabilized in at most three years.
Then, where would he cast his eyes to next?
His heart suddenly moved as he thought about Tianfang World.
That was an important location.
It was a great strategic spot, the World River was connected all around and it was at the chokepoint.
If the Night Demon and Shadow Demon Races wanted to invade the Cloud World, although they might not have to go past, it would definitely be targetted.
The smartest decision would be to not worry about it.
However, if he occupied this spot, just the income from trade alone could let him feed another 300 Source Ocean Warriors and 10 God Realms!
This meant a complete Great Cycle of Heaven Imperial Demon Slaying Sword Formation!
At this moment, he had enough reason and enough of an excuse.
However, the price would be a head-on collision against the Night Demon Race!
It was a really tough choice…
Zong Shou entered deep thought.
After Tan Kongbian killed Liu Muchen, he didn’t worry about anything else.
He turned toward Zong Shou and bowed, “I came on orders from the Saint Emperor to welcome Young Master back. Young Master, please board the carriage…”
Only then did Zong Shou come to his senses, and he looked at that empty carriage and shook his head, “When I am free, I will return. But not now!”
His tone was really decisive and he wasn’t to be doubted.
Tan Kongbian wasn’t surprised, he smiled and didn’t bother to convince him. He bowed once more, “Since that is the case, then I will follow your intentions! Emperor and Princess misses you. If you are free, please return soon.”
After he said this, he waved his sleeves in a straightforward manner and brought the carriage and the group of people back.
In just a moment, it was totally gone.
“Who knew that after a few years of not meeting you actually became the Sky Burning Lu Family top heir.”
Yuan Wushang looked okay, but only until the last petite servant left did he turn to speak to Zong Shou.
“The head of the top of the three aristocratic families of this region, future Sky Burning Saint Emperor. Why do you seem unwilling instead?”
“It is tough to tell you about it all!”
Zong Shou wasn’t willing to say more and swept around. After the two of them left, they left a huge mess here.
However, on closer inspection there wasn’t much he had to do.
The battle of the hundreds of Spaceships had reached the end after the defeat of the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.
After Liu Muchen was killed, the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty side had no more will to fight.
Even if the commander had great ability, he was unable to turn the tides.
However, Shi Ruolan, that brat, was probably disappointed and annoyed.
The battles were decided due to the heads of both sides.
Her talents weren’t able to be shone out.
Next would be the more than 40 God Realm Experts here who were all nervous.
They were terrified under the suppression of Aokun and Aoyi.
A portion of them belonged to Jijue Celestial Dynasty and Xuanling Guild. However, there were 70% who belonged to Liu Muchen.
If Liu Muchen was still here, they would have had to return to Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.
However now that he died, 33 of them would escape and definitely wouldn’t return.
That was a waste.
Thinking about it, Zong Shou’s brow rose up as he asked, “Are you all willing to swear to serve my Great Gan?”
Naturally, they would perform the most important heart soul oath, otherwise he wouldn’t be at ease.
Those God Realm Cultivators were all stunned. But moments later some people came to their senses, bowing without any hesitation.
“My Country is already dead, I am willing to be a subject of Great Gan!”
The other people were quick too. Before some could hesitate, seeing that the people around did that, they all bowed too.
Actually, there was no need to hesitate. On one side, it was the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty which was already gone while the other was Great Gan, led by the top heir of the Lu Family. It was obvious which side had a brighter future.
One could tell just from the Saint Realm experts, Dragon Shadow behind him, and those strong Dao Soldiers.
As long as one’s heart wasn’t clouded, one would know that this faction which was just born had an unlimited future.
There were 40 of them, much more than the 33. Only five kept silent, they were subjects of Jijue Celestial Dynasty and Xuanling Guild.
Zong Shou didn’t mind. Since they weren’t willing, he could exchange them for ransom.
However, that was a huge number of people…
Yuanlian World had a total of 44 small-sized worlds around and it was lacking.
Since Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was destined to be wiped out, then Zong Shou didn’t mind taking more benefit.
With these people surrendering and taking the lead, Great Gan would have more of an advantage as compared to others.
The problem was that Great Gan itself wasn’t strong and had too little Dao Soldiers of the four different grades.
Even if they occupied those worlds, they might not be able to defend it.
Only Tianfang World which was smaller but if ran well could provide income equivalent to 10 medium-sized worlds.
It seemed like he had to act on starting from this place…
Even if there were future problems, he had no choice.
With his mind made up, Zong Shou stopped hesitating.
However, at this moment, he wasn’t in a rush to deal with these Saint Realm Cultivators.
The heart soul oath wasn’t easy and needed time to prepare.
Zong Shou first reached out to grab that golden Geng Metal Energy in his hand.
As expected from a Heaven Grade spiritual item, it was born extremely sharp. It also had its own sentience, jumping about Zong Shou’s hand.
With his strength, he was actually unable to hold onto it tight. Several wounds were cut on his right hand and fresh blood flowed out.
This item concerned whether or not his second soul could be formed so he paid close attention to it.
Just as he was guessing what item it was, Yexuan said, “It is the Xiantian Purple Chenxuan Metal Energy! This time is really sharp but is hard to shape. Once one succeeds, it will become a top sword artifact, having the ability to become a God Treasure.”
He also said, “No wonder that Liujue didn’t craft this into a weapon and benefited us.
If it was crafted my a normal blacksmith he would end up ruining it. To make it into a sword one would need a top swordsmith.”
Zong Shou’s brow rose up, yet another problem. His Illusionary Spirit Sword Forging Technique crafted a soul sword and he walked the second soul method. He wasn’t as problematic as Yexuan.
However, this One Origin Soul Sword was what he used to gather King Path Energy.
Before crafting, he needed to ask someone to craft this energy into a sword fetus before he could start.
He had to suppress this King Path Energy with purification and Essence runes.
He was worried about handing it over to normal blacksmiths.
Top blacksmith, was that person considered one?
At most, if he had no choice, he would have to ask the Kongqi Sect Ancestor to help.
“Talking about crafting weapons, I also need Zong Shou you to take responsibility.”
Yuan Wushang suddenly spoke and pointed at his puppet.
Zong Shou looked out and saw that the Jade Puppet was covered in numerous marks.
The surface of it should be jade white and flawless but now it seemed extremely tragic.
Without needing to ask, he knew that it was done by the two Saint Realms from the Taoist Faction.
A smile that was worse than someone crying appeared on his face, “I suffered so many losses because of you. How can you not bother…”
Zong Shou burst out laughing, this puppet was made by the Mohists so who could repair it?
He had an idea. Speaking of which, that person might have some connection with the Mohists.
What a coincidence, he also was going to make a trip to Tianfang World.
