Chapter 1598: Chapter 1598: Trust

Primordial Devil Cult’s leader?

The crowd was puzzled, and Mo Jingcang had no choice but to explain what Primordial Devil Cult was.

Primordial Devil Cult, within Primordial Chaos, was undeniably a significant sect that struck fear into all who heard of it.

Its leader was an immensely powerful figure, but his identity was shrouded in mystery. Few knew who he truly was. Whenever he acted, his enemies were certain to die, and he had never revealed his true face to the public. This sense of mystery made him all the more terrifying in the eyes of all beings.

"I don’t think it’s necessary. I trust His Majesty. Why don’t you?"

Xiling Empress shook her head and said. She stared at Mo Jingcang and continued, "His Majesty has made such a resolute decision. If you truly ask for the Primordial Devil Cult’s help, how would His Majesty perceive it?"

"The Great Qin Heavenly Court is not of the Demonic Dao. With the aid of the Primordial Devil Cult, Great Qin Heavenly Court’s reputation would plummet overnight."

"At that point, how would we be any different from the Nine Palaces Supreme?"

Looking at Xiling Empress’s resolute expression, everyone fell into silent contemplation.

Perhaps it was because their recent enemies were far too formidable, the Great Qin Heavenly Court was almost overwhelmed, forcing them to tread cautiously. But upon reflection, was Qin Jun truly the type to collapse under pressure?

"I’ve said all that I wanted to. Think it through carefully."

Xiling Empress left behind these final words and departed.

In her eyes, the courtiers of Great Qin Heavenly Court had placed too much importance on the court, even surpassing their trust in Qin Jun, hence leading to the current tense situation.

But she was different. Even if Great Qin Heavenly Court were to perish, she wouldn’t care. In her heart, there was only Qin Jun; nothing else mattered.

"Enough. Let’s just trust His Majesty!" Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said, recalling Qin Jun’s commanding presence within the Heavenly Emperor’s Palace. A bold thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that Qin Jun had truly become strong enough to disregard the Nine Palaces Supreme?

At this thought, Guo Jia couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat quicken.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor’s stone hall.

Qin Jun was playing with his children, a stark contrast to his imposing demeanor earlier.

Daji, Pipa, and Li stood nearby. Pipa also resided in the stone hall, spending most of her time taking care of the heavenly sons and daughters, like Qin Lingming.

"They all say His Majesty has changed, but why do I feel he hasn’t?"

Pipa asked softly, and Li nodded while carrying a fruit platter. She ate while saying, "Brother Qin Jun still spoils me as always."

This girl seemed like she’d never grow up, perpetually resembling a big child.

Daji gazed at Qin Jun and whispered, "His Majesty has changed, but he hasn’t gone mad. Not only has he changed; hasn’t everyone in Great Qin Heavenly Court also changed? His Majesty has grown more confident, while the celestial officials and divine generals have become less trusting of him."

"In essence, it’s because the Great Qin Heavenly Court has grown stronger and everyone’s desire for power keeps surging. They no longer wish to advance, only to remain stationary and enjoy their authority."

Her words caused Pipa to fall into deep thought.

Not everyone shared Qin Jun’s grand ambitions. For most of the celestials and divine generals in the Great Qin Heavenly Court, the accomplishments of today had already exceeded their prior expectations. They feared advancing any further, worried that everything before them would vanish like smoke and shadows.

Especially with the formidable enemy Nine Palaces Supreme standing ahead, their fears were magnified to the extreme.

"Can His Majesty truly defeat the Nine Palaces Supreme?" Pipa cautiously asked, frightened that Qin Jun might overhear her—unbeknownst to her, Qin Jun already had.

"He can!" Daji answered without hesitation.

Amid his sparring with Qin Tianwu, Qin Jun smiled subtly. No matter how he changed, Daji always believed in him. This unwavering trust warmed his heart.

"Father, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Tianwu attacked while shouting. Not only did he practice magic arts, but he also trained his physique. Having finally gained the chance to spar with Qin Jun, his fighting spirit was extremely high.

Qin Jun laughed and said, "You’re too weak. I’m starting to feel sleepy."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tianwu grew anxious and immediately intensified his efforts, launching frenzied attacks. Yet with just his hands, Qin Jun blocked all of Qin Tianwu’s moves without budging an inch.

Meanwhile.

The Nine Palaces Supreme had also received news.

"The Heavenly Emperor challenges me? He’s mad?"

The Nine Palaces Supreme furrowed his brow and asked. The demonic disciple kneeling before him didn’t dare to look him in the eye, trembling as he replied, "Unsure. The news has already spread across the Ancient Sacred Dao. Demon Ancestor, you must crush the Heavenly Emperor, or else where will your dignity lie?"

The Nine Palaces Supreme remained unmoved, suspecting that Qin Jun might have gathered some powerful allies. After all, he couldn’t have grown strong enough to oppose him within just a month.

Could it be Mo Jingcang?

The Nine Palaces Supreme’s eyes flickered before he instructed the demonic disciple, "Spread word to the Ancient Sacred Dao that ten days from now, I will head to Six Emperors City for the confrontation. Instruct the Heavenly Emperor to prepare to hand over Great Qin Heavenly Court to me!"

This was the primordial Demon Ancestor!

Arrogant and unparalleled!

What of Mo Jingcang? Sharing the title of Demon Ancestor, the Nine Palaces Supreme had never regarded him highly.

"Understood!"

The demonic disciple left in excitement. The greater the prestige of Nine Palaces Supreme, the more glory these subordinates received.

That very day, the news spread across the Ancient Sacred Dao, shaking countless universes in the following ten days.

Nine Palaces Supreme versus the Heavenly Emperor!

Almost no one believed the Heavenly Emperor could win. Who didn’t know that the Heavenly Emperor was rebuilding his cultivation, relying solely on his subordinates to vie for dominance?

Who was Nine Palaces Supreme?

The first master of the Great Dao from the very first Great Dao realm after the opening of Chaos. By seniority, the Ancient Sacred Dao itself was his junior, including the Heavenly Emperor.

Thus, even though Nine Palaces Supreme committed countless heinous acts, no one thought he could lose.

Ten days passed quickly.

Above Six Emperors City, divine generals hovered in the air. On the city walls, soldiers were on full alert, beads of sweat rolling down everyone’s faces.

Daji, Zhu Yanqing, You Fenghuang, Wang Xue, Li, and other celestial consorts sat upon the clouds. Even Qin Lingming, Qin Tianwu, Ruo Xin, and Qin Xue’er were present. If Qin Jun lost this battle, Great Qin Heavenly Court would cease to exist, so whether the children watched or not carried little significance.

If Qin Jun won, it’d set a fine example for them.

"Mother, can Father win?" Ruo Xin asked Liu Ruolai, worry etched across her face.

Liu Ruolai hesitated but did not respond.

She believed in the Great Dao of fate, yet it was said Nine Palaces Supreme stood above fate, making her uncertain. Not wanting to disappoint her daughter, she chose silence.

"Don’t worry, Father will definitely win." Qin Xue’er grabbed Ruo Xin’s hand, smiling playfully.

Nearby, Qin Tianwu and Qin Lingming shook their fists, laughing like two radiant suns.

In their hearts, Qin Jun was an unbeatable existence.

"Prepare for battle at any moment!"

The Evening Star instructed Yang Jian, Ying Zheng, and other divine generals. If Qin Jun couldn’t win, then the Great Qin Heavenly Court would storm forward. At the brink of life and death, who cared about promises?

Yang Jian and the others nodded; they shared the same resolve.

"Heavenly Emperor! I have arrived!"

The voice of Nine Palaces Supreme suddenly echoed from the depths of the universe. After speaking, he burst into rampant laughter, his voice filled with excitement as if he had already envisioned Qin Jun begging for mercy.
