The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: The War Begins

Not long after, Di Jun entered through the grand gates of the Saint Emperor Palace.

His heart was filled with confusion; he didn’t know why Qin Jun had summoned him alone, especially after having just met with Immortal Zhenyuan and Yunxiao.

Could there have been some change in circumstances?

Di Jun felt unsettled but kept his expression as usual, calm and unruffled. He approached the high platform, knelt halfway, and cupped his hands as he asked, "May I know why Your Majesty has summoned me here?"

It appeared that only the two of them were in the Saint Emperor Palace, but Di Jun could sense several faint presences hidden in the shadows, none of them weak.

"Could those be the hidden troops trained by Your Majesty?"

Di Jun was secretly curious. It was said that Qin Jun had conscripted a group of beings above the realm of entering the sage realm to form the Emperor’s secret guard, consisting of very few members who were mostly hidden, responsible for transmitting messages, assassinations, and protecting Qin Jun.

The specific details about the Emperor’s secret guard were unknown to anyone; people only knew it existed.

Qin Jun’s eyes twinkled with a mysterious light as he smiled and said, "Di Jun, do you wish to become stronger?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun’s eyes widened, and his breathing grew rapid.

Seeing Fuxi ascending to sainthood had filled his heart with envy. Now, hearing that Qin Jun was willing to help him become stronger, how could he not be tempted?

Although he had just arrived in the Qin Immortal Realm, he had already heard many legends about Qin Jun helping his subordinates gain strength.

It was said that Qin Jun possessed mysterious and unfathomable Divine Power that could help people leap forward in their cultivation.

Initially, Yang Jian was merely at the level of Daluo, and now he had surpassed the Manifesting Saint realm. These stories greatly elevated Qin Jun’s image in Di Jun’s heart.

"Of course I do! May I know what Your Majesty requires of me in return?" Di Jun asked, struggling to contain his excitement.

"I am the sovereign, and you are the vassal; in the future, you simply need to serve me with all your heart and effort," replied Qin Jun with a smile, shaking his head.

Speaking, he commanded in his mind, "Let Di Jun return to his peak unswerving loyalty!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun immediately responded with fervor, "I will dedicate my life to Your Majesty’s service!"

Seizing all opportunities, as for the future, any promises would be easily broken in the face of ambition.

Soon, a black hole appeared above Qin Jun’s head. Di Jun did not resist and was directly sucked into it.

The palace became quiet once again as Qin Jun stood up and stepped down from the high platform.

He was prepared to inspect the recently summoned God and Demon Legion.

"She-Bishi Tribe, from mythology!"

"Number: Five hundred thousand!"

"Cultivation: From the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Realm to the middle stages of the Daluo Immortal Realm!"

"Legion Attribute: Soul of She-Bishi (can gather the war spirit of the ancestral witch She-Bishi; the stronger the scent of blood, the more formidable the combat power)!"

She-Bishi, a Divine Beast from ancient mythology.

"Da Huang Dong Jing" states, "There is a deity with a human face, dog ears, and a beast’s body, with two green snakes as earrings, named She-Bishi."

Beyond that, She-Bishi is also a renowned ancestral witch within Primordial Chaos mythology.

Capable of controlling the weather of the earth!

The arrival of the She-Bishi Tribe drastically increased the number of the Witch Clan. Adding to this was that the Heavenly Court of Great Qin already possessed the Demon Clan’s legions from the former world. Qin Jun worried they might clash.

Di Jiang, Qiang Liang, Fire God, Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Kua Fu, Chi You—all belonged to the Witch Clan.

Compared to the Witch Clan, entities such as Di Jun, Bai Ze, Yingzhao, and the Sixth Golden Crow seemed somewhat weaker.

Qin Jun hoped for the Witch and Demon Clans to check and balance each other and did not want any one side to become too dominant.

At the same time, gods and demons from Taoism, Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Buddhism also began to group together, although not as confrontational as in the previous world.

As long as Qin Jun remained in power, no one would dare act out of line below.

Because no one was more dominant than Qin Jun.

...

In the blink of an eye, a month swiftly passed by.

On this day, the Qin Immortal Realm made a resolute announcement to the universe, declaring war on the Black Dragon Star Territory, immediately causing a tremor throughout the three thousand great worlds.

"The Holy Sect is about to open the Mysterious Pond, and at this juncture, Heavenly Emperor of Qin dares to wage war?"

"Heavenly Emperor of Qin is too arrogant! He doesn’t even give the saints any face!"

"Poor Black Dragon Star Territory, with the Black Dragon Immortal Venerable imprisoned in the Qin Immortal Realm’s heavenly prison, the Black Dragon Star Territory is like fish on a chopping board to the ancient Immortal Territories, ready to be carved up at will."

"Courting death... The Qin Immortal Realm’s aggressive stance is over-the-top; it’s bound to capsize sooner or later!"

"Even Yang Beiming couldn’t handle Heavenly Emperor of Qin; in today’s universe, other than the Holy Sect, who can stop the Qin Immortal Realm’s march of conquest?"

All three thousand great worlds and countless Ten Thousand Dharma Islands were discussing this matter.

The next day, legions after legions flew out from the Qin Immortal Realm, including Immortal Soldiers, Witch Soldiers, Demon Soldiers, Human Soldiers, and more, numbering over a billion, heading mightily towards the Black Dragon Star Territory.

Nobody dared to block their path wherever they passed.

The leaders were Di Jun, Fire God, and Zhao Gongming, with subordinates such as the Sixth Golden Crow, Lv Yue, Yuan Hong, the Ten Heavenly Lords and others. Qin Jun had sent out one-third of the God and Demon, along with several hundred thousand Immortals and Deities.

Such a vast lineup was more than enough to easily swallow up the Black Dragon Star Territory.

At this moment, Di Jun had already returned to his peak loyal state; although his cultivation had not improved, his loyalty had reached full value. In his heart now, Qin Jun was the most important. This change was subtle and insidious, so much so that even he himself was unaware of it.

Before leaving, Qin Jun had given him a mission, and that was to capture Donghuang Taiyi.

In his prime, Donghuang Taiyi might have been able to contend with Di Jun, but the current Donghuang Taiyi still lingered at the cusp of entering the realm of the sage; how could he possibly be a match for Di Jun?

Moreover, Donghuang Taiyi might collapse if he saw that Di Jun was serving Qin Jun.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun summoned Di Jiang, the Perfected Person, Yang Zaixing, and Kṣitigarbha to the Imperial Garden.

"I will use Supreme Divine Power to send you back to your past worlds. Try to bring as many of your subordinates and friends back with you as possible!"

Qin Jun instructed, causing the four to look at each other in surprise.

Originally, Qin Jun had also wanted Yun Xiao to return to the God and Demon instance, but considering that Yun Xiao had just sworn allegiance to him and the feelings were not deep enough, what if his loyalty decreased upon immediately returning, especially when conspiring with her two sisters? That would be unacceptable.

Now, Qin Jun had accumulated eight chances to enter the God and Demon instance, but he was too lazy to summon again; he didn’t lack top-tier powerhouses but was in need of core supporters.

"As commanded!"

Di Jiang bowed and said, understanding Qin Jun’s intent to attract the other ancestral witches back.

The Perfected Person, Yang Zaixing, and Kṣitigarbha all felt a bit excited, as they understood this was an opportunity Qin Jun was giving them to expand their forces.

As the Heavenly Court of Great Qin became increasingly powerful, with more and more great worlds under its control, Qin Jun couldn’t possibly have a clear grasp on every single great world; naturally, he would distribute them to those below him.

This was also the reason why Qin Jun dared to summon the Emperor Di.

Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Jade Emperor, Heavenly Emperor!

You wish to proclaim emperors and bestow titles? Fine, there is plenty of territory under me, do as you please. But you must remain loyal to me!

Afterward, a black hole appeared above Qin Jun’s head, sucking in the four Gods and Demons.

God and Demon instance, return within a month at the latest.

In a month’s time, Qin Jun would be ready to head for the Mysterious Pond.

The Mysterious Pond was a famous place in the universe where the Holy Sect would also open.

Qin Jun planned to infiltrate the Holy Sect first, to assess the situation, find an opportunity, work from within and without, and overthrow the Holy Sect!

"Ancient Tiger Clan, I wonder how formidable you are, and whether the twelve ancestral witches can gather together?"

Qin Jun looked forward to this in his heart, and then he disappeared on the spot, returning to his own chambers.

He was ready to use a chance to listen to the Dao, to break through to the Daluo beginner Immortal Realm!
