“Emperor Zhou actually died? Is this news true?” Li Qing was stunned on the spot, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

“Of course it’s true. At the beginning, I also felt that it was inconceivable. Great Emperor Hongwu of Great Zhou died just like that, just like an arcane fantasy.” Xiao Bai said.

“Do you know the specifics?” Li Qing said.

“I’m not too sure either. I’m just an ordinary demon, and I’m not as expensive as you, the Holy Son of Myriad Devil Sect. How could I get any insider information?” Xiao Bai rolled his eyes.

“I can only find time to ask Yin Qianyu.” Li Qing said slowly, “The pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Emperor Hong Wu. If this person dies, the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably collapse very soon.”

Such things were common in history. Often, there was only one emperor in a country. After the death of the founding emperor, the huge dynasty instantly collapsed and became the smoke of history.

The situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was relatively good, and it was currently in a prosperous situation. Everyone was united, and even after the death of the Zhou Emperor, the situation could still be stabilized temporarily.

Xiao Bai said, “There are already some signs. After Emperor Hongwu died, Great Zhou shrank his defensive line and gave up the Central Continent. Daqian Dynasty has regained this territory, showing signs of revival.”

There were nine continents in the Central Region, and the most central location was the Central Continent. After the Great Zhou Dynasty gave it up, there were only three continents left.

In the current situation in the Central Region, Great Zhou and Great Qin occupied the three continents, while Daqian Dynasty occupied the Central Continent, faintly forming a long-term confrontation.

“The Great Zhou Dynasty has been able to stabilize itself and not collapse, allowing for a smooth transfer of power. It seems that Emperor Zhou must have made a thorough arrangement before crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.” Li Qing said.

“Who is the current Great Zhou Emperor?” Li Qing asked.

Xiao Bai’s expression was a little strange as he said, “It’s the original King Jin!”

“It’s him… Back then, King Jin’s son, Hong Anchen, had a grudge against me.” Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

King Jin was the ninth son of the Zhou Emperor, but he was clearly the first successor. The reason was very simple, because King Jin was the oldest, and all eight of his children had died from exhaustion of their lifespans.

Moreover, King Jin’s cultivation wasn’t low either. Although it wasn’t extraordinary, it could be considered a high-middle-class figure.

Therefore, it was not surprising for King Jin to inherit the throne.

“In that case, Hong Anchen is likely to become the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future?” Li Qing said.

“Who knows? Although Hong Anchen is the Crown Prince of Jin on the surface, he is just a piece of shit. His cultivation is pitifully low. How can he be qualified to take over the position of Crown Prince?” Xiao Bai curled his lips in disdain.

“That’s right. It’s just a piece of shit, and it’s also a sinister piece of shit. On the surface, he’s a modest man, but in reality, he’s a villain who has gone back on his word.”

Xiao Bai said, “Oh right, there’s another thing. Sect Master Myriad Devil, Yin Tianhong … he also crossed the seventh stage of the lightning tribulation.”

“What? He also crossed the tribulation?” Li Qing was immediately shocked.

“Yes, and he really succeeded!”

“Impossible. How can no one stop the Demon Lord from crossing the tribulation?” Li Qing asked.

“Because His Majesty the Demon Lord crossed the tribulation on the same day as the Zhou Emperor.” Xiao Bai said.

Li Qing’s gaze narrowed as he slowly said, “I understand. The Demon Lord took advantage of the Zhou Emperor’s tribulation to attract the attention of the majority of the people, while he secretly ran to a remote corner to cross the tribulation! Sure enough, it was quite sinister.”

“That’s right, using the Zhou Emperor to attract the attention of others was truly successful by Demon Lord Majesty! From now on, Sect Leader Myriad Devil will be a super existence of the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm. There are practically no enemies in this world, and your Demon Dao power is about to rise greatly!”

“The Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm can open up the Lesser Thousand Worlds. Such powerful figures are not common in history. Without the Sword God and some half-dead old monsters concealing themselves, there is no one in the world who can do anything to Demon Lord Yin Tianhong.” Li Qing sighed.

He finally remembered that when he saw the Fourth Elder of the Myriad Devil Sect in Lin Tianhao’s barracks back then, this person had said that the Demon Lord would make a big move. What was he referring to?

So it was actually crossing the seventh level of the lightning tribulation. It was indeed a big move!

One day later, Yin Qianyu received a message from Li Qing and arrived at the Liu Clan’s Jade Spirit Lake.

“You’ve finally returned. It’s been seven or eight years since you disappeared. I thought something had happened to you.” Yin Qianyu said with a smile.

“Have you heard that Lord Demon Lord has already passed the seventh stage of the lightning tribulation?” Li Qing said indifferently.

“That’s right. This matter has greatly increased the reputation of our Myriad Devil Sect. After the Demon Lord underwent the tribulation, a celebration of the Devil Dao was held. However, you weren’t there at that time, so you didn’t participate.” Yin Qianyu said.

“Is Emperor Zhou really dead?”

“That’s for sure. If countless people witnessed it with their own eyes, how could it be fake? No matter how powerful he is, it’s impossible for him to withstand the siege of so many forces after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation!”

“Oh? Were there many forces attacking Emperor Zhou at that time?” Li Qing said.

“There are a total of ten Dao Realm experts. Among them, there are some terrifying figures like Doasim Lord Zhulong. What do you think?”

“No wonder, ten Dao Realm experts attacked at the same time. No matter how powerful Emperor Zhou Majesty was, it was impossible for him to resist! It was truly surprising that such a powerful and fierce figure would die so easily.” Li Qing sighed and couldn’t help but recall the scene when he met Emperor Zhou in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

Speaking of which, Li Qing was able to unlock the power of fate within the Mortal Emperor Seal and bless himself thanks to the strand of fate of the Great Zhou Empire.

“It’s only because the Great Zhou Dynasty has provoked too many enemies! Many Dao Realm experts are eyeing them covetously. In addition, our Diabolism has already arranged for people. It’s not surprising that there are ten of them.” Yin Qianyu said.

“Is Emperor Zhou crossing the tribulation in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty?” Li Qing asked.

“To be exact, it’s in the skies above the capital of the Great Zhou Empire. It must be very far away from the ground. However, it can also use the power of the Great Zhou Empire’s destiny to increase its strength by a lot.”

“In the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, they were all besieged and killed. It seems like there are many dangers to survive the seventh stage of the Heavenly Tribulation.”

“Our Demon Lord’s Majesty is even smarter. Taking advantage of Emperor Zhou’s attention, he secretly crossed the Heavenly Tribulation and unknowingly reached the Seventh Tribulation! Now that our Demon Lord has completely opened up the Lesser Thousand Worlds, his strength has basically stabilized. Next is the time to unleash his might.”

Li Qing said, “Then I wonder if Lord Demon Lord has any instructions? What’s the next move?”

“We need to take things slowly. We need to make a temporary arrangement. Right now, Lin Tianhao’s army has swept across the entire Azure Province battlefield, annihilating the Great Wei Kingdom. We are about to complete the unification and establish a kingdom!” Yin Qianyu said.

Li Qing’s heart instantly trembled. He knew that Lin Tianhao’s army must have obtained the support of the Devil Sect to annihilate the Great Wei so quickly.

“After Lin Tianhao establishes his country, it will be equivalent to establishing a base in the Central Region to expand his influence. The next goal is to destroy Great Zhao and occupy the land of Yangzhou!”

Li Qing said, “Could it be that Great Zhou and Great Qin are watching helplessly as you move, not stopping you?”

“They are all in a chaotic battle right now. How can they have the time to interfere in the affairs of the Qing Yang Continent?” Yin Qianyu revealed a mysterious smile. “And more importantly, the new Great Zhou Emperor probably didn’t have the heart to look around. At this moment, he was immersed in the boundless power of the Emperor and dreamed of dying drunkenly.”

“Oh? And why?”

“This is a secret. Even if you are the Holy Son of Diabolism, I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell you.” Yin Qianyu said.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, and then he faintly guessed in his heart. Many of the successors of the Great Zhou Dynasty would probably bet on them. The Myriad Demon Sect should have helped King Jin back then, and they might have used some methods to influence him.

In fact, not only were there many successors to the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were also many successors to the Great Qin Dynasty who had countless connections with various major powers. This could be considered a common illness. Basically, they would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye.

‘”The Central Region is supporting a country and using this as its base, it is growing stronger and stronger. In addition, Demon Lord Yin Tianhong has passed the seventh stage of the lightning tribulation. From the looks of it, could it be that war is about to break out in a short period of time?” Li Qing guessed in his heart.

Yin Qianyu said, “Naturally, there will be people in charge of the matters in the Central Region. Your main task is to build many strongholds in the Southern Region! The elders have been staring at this place all the time. Don’t let them catch you by the foot.”

“Didn’t you always be in charge of the stronghold? How’s the progress?” Li Qing asked.

“The blueprints you took out back then were extremely useful. Our Myriad Demon Sect’s stronghold is progressing very quickly. It has already covered the entire Southern Domain and formed an effective network. We can immediately stand by!”

“I’ll leave this matter to you. I’m too lazy to pay attention to this.” Li Qing casually waved his hand.

“This is the main thing. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave first.” Yin Qianyu said.

Just as she was about to leave, Li Qing said, “The Ten Thousand Devil Sect’s plan should not be small, right?”

Yin Qianyu’s body stiffened. She turned around slightly and said, “You need to be ready at all times. The wind is going to blow soon.”

Looking at her leaving figure, Li Qing’s eyes shone with a purple light and he whispered to himself, “Looks like what I expected is not bad. The Great War of the Righteous Demons is about to start soon!”

“The Great War of the Righteous Demons has not begun for a long time. Every time a Diabolism tycoon reaches the level of the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm, and Diabolism’s power is restored to its peak, he will definitely not be willing to calm down and do something big.”

“Demon Lord Yin Tianhong has also reached this stage. Furthermore, he seems to be an ambitious person. Once his strength is completely stabilized, he will reveal his fangs!”

In history, there had been many great battles between the Righteous and the Devil. The number of battles, large and small, had penetrated the entire process of human civilization development.

Of these great battles, three were the most intense, the most extensive, and the most numerous.

The first time was of course the war between the Demon Ancestor and Daoist Patriarch. The second time was the battle between the Great Demon God and the Extreme Emperor. As for the third time, it was the battle between the Heavenly Demon Sect Master and the Fire God.

Of course, there were also many disasters that weren’t counted in the three great battles between the Righteous Demons, such as the Dark Chaos, the Beast God Tribulation, and the Heretic King Sect’s battle with the Sword God.

It could be seen that if the Great War of the Righteous Demons really happened this time, its scale would be far inferior to the three great wars of the Righteous Demons in history. The most important thing was its high-end combat strength. Demon Lord Yin Tianhong was only at the level of the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm, not comparable to the three great Diabolism giants in history.

‘”If there really is a great battle between the Righteous and the Demons, then I will definitely participate as well. Furthermore, I’m Holy Son of the Devil, and I’m afraid that I will be much more responsible than ordinary people.”

“If what I expected is correct, then I should be in charge of the battlefield in the Southern Domain and strive to open up a territory in Diabolism. Using this as a base, I will continue to expand outwards.”
