The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1364: Hooking Chen! Guan Zhong!

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Hooking Chen! Guan Zhong!

"The news is true! The Heavenly Emperor has already begun lecturing in the Heavenly Emperor’s Great World, and if nothing unexpected happens, after this lecture, there will be several more saints in the Heavenly Emperor’s Great World..."

The serpent-bodied elder cautiously replied. In recent years, the blood-devouring God and Demon Clan had frequently invaded the Heavenly Emperor’s Great World, likely bringing calamity upon the Devil Clan.

To the Heavenly Emperor, that supremely exalted existence, even the Demon Ancestor had to behave respectfully in the face of the Heavenly Emperor, not daring to act rashly.

Cang Shekui slumped on the bed, looking dispirited and a touch of fear could not be concealed in his eyes.

"How has he returned... it’s all over now..."

Cang Shekui murmured to himself, vividly remembering the words Mo Jingcang had said to him before going into seclusion.

"In this world, you can offend any creature, but you must never provoke the Heavenly Emperor, or even I cannot save you!"

These words echoed once again in his mind, chilling Cang Shekui to the bone.

The demonesses around him covered their mouths and exchanged glances, all a bit panicked; they knew all too well that Cang Shekui had often spoken ill of the Heavenly Emperor. Should the Heavenly Emperor learn of this, it would certainly spell great trouble.

Cang Shekui, gritting his teeth, asked, "How much longer before Father comes out of seclusion?"

The serpent-bodied elder paused, then replied helplessly, "How would I possibly know that?"

Even the son of Mo Jingcang had no idea, much less these subordinates of theirs.

He inwardly despised Cang Shekui, a wastrel who knew only pleasure, thinking of what a prodigy Mo Jingcang was, building the Devil Clan from nothing to now dominating the universe. Looking then to the blood-devouring God and Demon and Cang Shekui, one a slaughterous monster and the other a wastrel, indeed a lamentable contrast.

"Summon Cang Baitian and Cang Taichu!"

Cang Shekui spoke in a weak voice; Cang Baitian and Cang Taichu were his two sons, who were the favorites of his affection.

"Yes!"

The serpent-bodied elder bowed and replied, then promptly vanished from the spot.

Cang Shekui, with no mood for frivolity anymore, dismissed the demonesses.

"The fate of the Devil Clan..."

Worry filled Cang Shekui’s eyes, and suddenly recalling something, his expression grew uglier.

...

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for summoning Emperor Gouchen, from mythology. Would you like to restore his past life memories?"

Just as Qin Jun lectured, the system prompt sounded again, making Qin Jun raise an eyebrow in response.

Emperor Gouchen!

One of the Four Imperial Sovereigns of Taoism!

Along with the Jade Emperor, Ziwei Emperor, and Her Highness Houtu, Emperor Gouchen is counted among the Four Imperial Sovereigns, with equivalent status, all commanding myriad gods.

Beyond the Four Imperial Sovereigns, there is also talk of Six Imperial Sovereigns, adding the Emperor of Longevity and Qinghua Emperor.

"Summon! Do not restore past life memories!"

Qin Jun decided in his mind. As one of the Four Imperial Sovereigns, Emperor Gouchen was undoubtedly powerful, with immeasurable potential.

If he survives until the Inner Universe era, he would definitely be of higher status than the Human Clan emperor Xia Shenwu!

"Emperor Gouchen, from mythology!"

"Identity: One of the Four Imperial Sovereigns! One of the Six Imperial Sovereigns! Emperor of Gouchen Upper Palace! Heavenly Emperor of the Supreme Taiji in the West!"

"Cultivation: Mid-stage of Manifesting Saint Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Imperial Heaven Technique!"

"Divine Powers: Evolution Battle Soldiers! Murderous Aura from the West! Waves Wash the Sand! War Armor Soldiers!"

"Treasured Items: Map of Ten Thousand Gods! Cloud Killing Sword!"

"Special Attribute: Soldier Emperor Might (In the midst of warfare, combat power will be enhanced, and the extent of the enhancement increases with the scale of the war)!"

"Loyalty: 83 (Full value 100)!"

Such an awesome feeling!

Legend has it that among the Four Imperial Sovereigns, Emperor Gouchen ranks third, controlling the matters of warfare in the human realm and holding an extremely high position in Taoist mythology, second only to the Three Pure Ones.

In other mythologies, Emperor Gouchen might not be very famous, with people only knowing about the Jade Emperor, unaware that in the heavenly court aside from the Jade Emperor, there are three other Great Emperors, each ruling over one direction of heaven!

Because of "Investiture of the Gods," it’s widely believed that Lei Zhenzi is Emperor Gouchen, but in reality, Lei Zhenzi only received the title "Gouchen," and is one of the divinities under Emperor Gouchen, who is a martial god in Taoist mythology.

Qin Jun looks at Emperor Gouchen’s attribute list with a satisfied smile, eagerly anticipating the splendor Emperor Gouchen will reveal in this world.

"Specify the summoning of the strongest mythical version of Guan Zhong! Restore past life memories!"

Qin Jun orders in his mind. There are many versions of mythological legends, creating countless parallel universes, so he wants to game the system. What if in some universe Guan Zhong’s cultivation reached the heavens?

Who is Guan Zhong?

He is a famous strategist in Huaxia history, adept not only in warfare but also in politics, deeply favored by Duke Huan of Qi, making Qi the foremost of the five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period in just a few short years!

The famous tale of Guan-Bao’s Friendship originated from him.

So much so that later generations praised him, and even Confucius said: "Without Guan Zhong, we would still be like barbarians, hair disheveled and clothes reversed."

Meaning without Guan Zhong, they would still be like primitives, disordered in dress and appearance.

Of course, Guan Zhong’s fame in later generations mainly comes from Zhuge Liang, who often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi to attract the attention of heroic leaders.

The reason for summoning Guan Zhong is that Guo Jia is too unreliable, and Qin Jun needs to recruit another strategist. Moreover, Guan Zhong is even more versatile than Guo Jia.

He has a premonition that the time of his return to his original era is getting closer and closer.

He must quickly set up his strategy; relying on strength alone is not enough, intelligence is also necessary.

With abilities from She-Bishi, Huo Qubing, Royal Lord Dong, Confucius, and the strategies of Guo Jia and Guan Zhong, only then can the lineage of the Heavenly Emperor truly be everlasting.

Countless ages later, Qin Jun hopes they will be waiting for his return somewhere!

"Bring up Guan Zhong’s attribute list!"

Qin Jun commands in his mind, the legendary Guan Zhong, whom he has long admired.

Regardless of which version of the history of strategists’ rankings, Guan Zhong is always in the top ten.

"Guan Zhong, from mythology!"

"Identity: Human Clan Strategist!"

"Cultivation Method: Heavenly Performance Technique!"

"Cultivation: Third level of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

"Loyalty: 92 (Full score 100)"

Only at the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm?

It seems Guan Zhong is not fated for immortality.

Then let me lead you to an unprecedented peak!

Qin Jun confidently thinks to himself, then focuses on his preaching.

Both chances of the God and Demon summoning and one specific God and Demon summoning chance have been used up, but the results are good and do not disappoint him.

Guo Jia, Emperor Gouchen, Guan Zhong!

Just the three of them teaming up could establish a powerful force!

Meanwhile.

Guo Jia strolls within the city, everyone is listening to Qin Jun’s preaching, but he has no interest for now; he is more curious about the local customs here.

Along the way, there are figures meditating everywhere on the streets, countless pillars of spiritual energy form, and the strong winds it creates are refreshing for Guo Jia.

At this moment, he suddenly sees a transformed being also wandering around, which greatly piques his curiosity, and he immediately goes over.

"Brother, what is your name? Why are you not listening to the sermon?"

Guo Jia pretends to be righteous and solemn as he asks, as if he’s a blind follower of the Heavenly Emperor.

Hearing this, the transformed being turns to look at Guo Jia, dressed in brown animal hide, unkempt and dirty as if a beggar.

"My name is Xuandang, what do you want?"

He asks back in a deep voice, full of vigor, and his tall stature makes Guo Jia stop in his tracks.

Guo Jia suddenly remembers that the beings here are outrageously strong, even a child could crush him; he must not act rashly.
