Chapter 1066 First Planar War (II)

1066 First Planar War (II)

w.a.n.g Wei teleported to the second to check on Li Jun, who was preparing his armor and soldiers for this war.

"Why are you here? Shouldn"t you be busy?" asked Li Jun.

"I came to check on you."

"Check on me?" An idea suddenly popped into his mind. "Do you think I wouldn"t be alright with Tie Gang"s position as Commander?"

"Just wanted to make sure."

"I"m fine, and I think he deserves it," explained Li Jun. "Anyway, I"m just happy to partic.i.p.ate in this war." His eyes flashed a pure intent of killing and slaughter.

"Do you plan to have your Slaughter Spear absorb more Slaughter Aura?"

"Yes. I plan to turn it into a special Source Technique, so I want to train it as much as possible before I prove the Dao."

"That"s an excellent idea," praised w.a.n.g Wei before glancing at his men. "Are you partic.i.p.ating in the Legion Layer?"

"No, Jun Menyao will be in charge of this layer. I will dominate the Mortal Combatant Layer." With Li Jun"s Immortal Tier Strength while still being a mortal, he has the right to say he will dominate that layer. In fact, Tie Gang"s plan counts top Heaven Chosen dominating that layer and overwhelming the Martial Hegemony World.

"Him?"

"Does he have his own legion?"

"He wanted to create a Military Spearmans.h.i.+p, so he asked me to train with my legion, and he"s quite talented as a general.

"Does he have his own legion?"

"He"s planning to but hasn"t gotten to it."

"That"s fine," nodded w.a.n.g Wei. He hoped Jin Mengyao could train a peerless Spear Legion to increase the sect"s overall military strength. "What about Cai Song?"

"She"s not partic.i.p.ating. She said she prefers partic.i.p.ating in individual projects to ma.s.s productions."

"What is this? Did she suddenly develop an artistic soul or something?"

"Artistic Soul? That"s an odd way of putting it," said Li Jun. "But you"re correct. She was inspired by some of the mortal crafts and decided to take more pride in her works."

"So, did she stop ma.s.s-producing puppets for us? Why haven"t I been notified of this?"

"That"s because she didn"t. It"s not her main focus, but her work has not stopped; she left a clone to deal with it."

"Well, that"s fine," nodded w.a.n.g Wei, who thought he had lost his Skynet Manufacturing Base. He decided to check on her and ensure there was no problem. So, after his chat with Li Jun, he checked on Cai Song and found that everything was fine. She was just focused on creating more powerful and unique puppets, and w.a.n.g Wei was fine with that as long as her other work did not stop.

He returned to the court and oversaw the final preparations before the deployment.

Star Beast World:

Tong Ruobing received the information about the recent court meeting. She handed it to Mu Lei, and he said, "What are you thinking?

"Is it really not possible for us to also begin to expand?"

"You know that"s currently impossible."

Of course, Tong Ruobing knew. Their world was in a unique and awkward situation. The Star Beast World is a high-level member of the Commerce Hub because of the insane amount of resources it consumes. Simultaneously, the hub is currently the enemy or opponent of w.a.n.g Wei, which is their ally- a fact already public. In other words, the Star Beast World has become the middle link between those two fighting t.i.tans.

The internal att.i.tude of the Commerce Hub is that no member will create their own Heavenly Court or expand until their enemy is dealt with. An exception was made for the Star Beast World since they had already created a court before the decision was made. However, if they expand their borders, the situation will become complicated.

As members of the hub, there should be repercussions for breaking the rules. And if the Commerce Hub decides to attack or sanction the Star Beast World, w.a.n.g Wei can use this excuse to start a fight with them. Suppose they ignore Mu Lei and Tong Ruobing breaking the rules. In that case, the Commerce Hub"s status and influence will be diminished, considering the Endless Void will see this as an act of cowardness and fear toward the First Heavenly Emperor.

Ultimately, their world has become the key factor in determining when w.a.n.g Wei and the Commerce Hub will officially break off and begin fighting.

"The best move is to wait patiently," said Mu Lei. He believed in w.a.n.g We"s side more than the commerce, so the result is already doom. His only concern is to prevent his world from suffering untold casualties and loss during this confrontation.

"I know this, but my heart aches every time I think of the benefit we are losing," sighed Tong Ruobing. She did not expect navigating the interpolitical relations.h.i.+p between her current world and homeworld to be this difficult.

"I"m going home," said Tong Ruobing, standing up from her cultivation cus.h.i.+on.

"Why?"

"Although I cannot partic.i.p.ate, I can ensure the Great Talisman City acquires as many benefits as possible."

"That"s a good idea. I will keep watch on things here."

Tong Ruobing teleported back home.

Martial Hegemony World:

Qian Heng was overviewing the court"s construction. He had already built the location in a few days, but the thing could only be called shabby. There was only a Small World with a white palace at the center - in other words, nothing extravagant. In this dangerous time, he saw no need to build any lavish court as this would be a waste of resources. The only thing remaining was refining the Conferred G.o.d List, the ceremony, and the test to determine whether he was worthy. All these things will take some time, but time is what this world has the least of.

While Qian Heng was supervising the establishment of the court"s arrays, he received notification that someone wished to see him. He immediately frowned after using his Divine Sense to check. After a brief ponder, he summoned the visitor.

An elderly man dressed in Taoist robes walked into a white room. He looked at the formation above this room before focusing on Qian Heng, "Your Majesty." He bowed politely.

"I"m not the Heavenly Emperor yet, so there is no need for the formality," said Qian Heng cooly. "What brings you here, Reverend Tranquility?"

"The Peaceful Life Palace would like to partic.i.p.ate in this war and offer our servitude."

Qian Heng was silent as this was not a simple offer. This world hated Taoism, including Martial Taoist Sects, which was common during the previous Era. However, all these sects were eventually eradicated after the Rising Dragon Sect led them to their freedom, leaving only one - the Peaceful Life Palace.

This faction was able to survive the clean-up for a few reasons. They partic.i.p.ated in the war against the Celestial Harmony World and contributed immensely. And as a reward for their achievements. The Dragon Subduing Emperor granted them amnesty, and everyone respected that.

Of course, this was not enough to ensure their survival. Although people respected the Dragon Subduing Emperor, he had been gone for a while, so it would be understandable that someone with a grudge would have gone back on their words.

Another reason why they survived for so long was a "rebranding" and their strength. The Peaceful Life Palace changed its original name even to the detriment of its Qi Luck. They wanted their faction"s name to reflect their ideology; they were a peaceful group of martial artists who used Taoist Ideologies to train their minds and spirits.

With this foundation, the Peaceful Life Palace has become the de facto leader of all professional resources in the Martial Hegemony World. They dominated every field, especially Pill Refining. Martial Artists used a great deal of resources, especially in the three realms of Life, Death, and Nirvana, and the Peaceful Life Palace had the best pills.

Lastly, they only trained Professional Dao Emperors besides their sect"s founder. Of their five Great Emperors, four proved the Dao with a Professional Dao, and they were all talented, three of them being Pseudo-Eternals and the other reaching 20% Grand Dao Source but failing to condense their Dao Will.

Martial Artists used a great deal of resources, especially in the three realms of Life, Death, and Nirvana, and the Peaceful Life Palace had the best pills.

Ultimately, although the world loathes them because of their connection with Taoism, they have also become indispensable to the Martial Hegemony World. Of course, some past Emperors have tried to eradicate them, whether out of hatred or greed for their resources and foundation. However, no one has succeeded in breaking through their sect"s array.

"Are you sure?" asked Qian Heng after over a minute of contemplation.

"We are," replied Reverend Tranquility, and Qian Heng sighed. People will not like this decision, but it is the correct one to make. They need support for this war, and the Peaceful Life Palace is the one that can provide the greatest. Most top factions focus too heavily on individual power and do not have the best system regarding Profession Daos.

"Very well," nodded Qian Heng. Despite his mistrust of these people, he knew it was their best choice to partake in this war. Maybe this world will be more accepting of them after defending it for a second time.

"Your Majesty, about the others?"

"Don"t worry, I will convince them."
