The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 632

Chapter 632: 632

"It must be said that the role of the God and Demon side instances is no weaker than the peak of the God and Demon; they’re able to draw helpers."

Qin Jun sighed inwardly, knowing that when a God and Demon enters the side instance world, the system automatically arranges the most suitable point in time for development, and his presence in the side instance world is automatically erased, replaced by the God and Demon, it’s seamless.

Unable to restrain his curiosity, Sun Wukong beside him asked, "Why have they suddenly appeared? Is this your Divine Power?"

He had clashed with Li Jing and Nezha and knew it wasn’t possible to have the Divine Power to move armies, not even Sun Wukong himself could.

"Hmmph," Qin Jun gave a noncommittal cold snort, his mystery deep to the core.

Sun Wukong couldn’t stand his pretentious demeanor and snorted before leaving; he had intended to inquire with Yuan Hong but now lost all interest in doing so.

Watching Sun Wukong’s receding figure, the corners of Qin Jun’s mouth curled upward. Sun Wukong had already fallen into his trap, and the day he would pledge himself to Qin Jun was not far off.

Li Jing and Nezha had already returned, so presumably, Yuan Hong would be back in a matter of days.

The thought of Sun Wukong battling the Arm-Through-Monkey left even Qin Jun impatient.

Yuan Hong loved to fight as well, but was more composed and magnanimous than Sun Wukong, who was unruly and defiant, fighting beyond his normal capabilities.

Their great battle would surely be the talk of the ages.

"Wait..."

A bold idea suddenly came to Qin Jun.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately stood up and left to start planning for the scheme he had just conceived.

That night, Jiang Ziya and Evening Star arrived at Fox King Island, where Qin Jun received them in the palace. Chang’e and Sun Wukong, who were left to guard Fox King Island, were not summoned by Qin Jun at this time.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Ziya and Evening Star knelt down to pay their respects.

From the high seat, Qin Jun gestured for them to rise, smiling, "I’ve called you here to make plans concerning the battle in the Southernmost Sea."

Jiang Ziya was an illustrious military strategist, ranked even higher than Han Xin, capable of determining the Universe of the Southernmost Sea.

Evening Star laughed, "When it comes to warfare, Ziya exceeds me."

He knew his strengths and weaknesses. Compared to directing war plans, he was even less capable than Li Jing, so he willingly stepped aside.

Jiang Ziya shook his head with a smile, his relationship with Evening Star quite amicable. Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang were closer, but they were all civil officials, each with their own suspicions and competitive instincts.

Evening Star also harbored competitive instincts, but they were decidedly the least pronounced.

"In my view, with the current divine troops and mighty generals under Your Majesty’s command, conquering the Southernmost Sea will be straightforward and doesn’t require in-depth planning, only time. For the specifics, I will need to review the various battle reports," Jiang Ziya said with a smile, his gaze sharp as he looked at Qin Jun.

Following Qin Jun, Jiang Ziya felt he had truly encountered a wise ruler.

The people under the court of Great Qin lived in peace and harmony, with favorable weather for crops, and Qin Jun was a true monarch who served the people. At the same time, Qin Jun’s ambition soared as high as the heavens. Being kind-hearted yet ambitious was an opportunity a loyal courtier who wanted to support the state could hardly ever find.

Most importantly, Qin Jun was able to continuously attract strong generals and sages, which made Jiang Ziya feel like he had hit the jackpot.

At least with Qin Jun, he could spread his wings and be unbridled!

"Ding! Side quest triggered—Dominate the Southernmost Sea! Quest details: If the host subjugates the Southernmost Sea, they will receive a God and Demon summoning opportunity!"

The system prompt suddenly rang out, making Qin Jun pause, but the excitement hidden in Jiang Ziya’s eyes gave him a hint of understanding.

This old fellow was ambitious, too.

"Good, Ziya. Rest for tonight, and tomorrow morning, you can contact Bajie and Han Xin over the Southernmost Sea’s affairs," Qin Jun said, waving his hand with significant undertones.

Jiang Ziya glanced at Evening Star and nodded before turning to leave.

The hall was left with only Qin Jun and Evening Star.

Evening Star did not start speaking first but waited quietly for Qin Jun’s orders.

"I would like to invite the lords of the domains surrounding the Southernmost Sea to a grand feast here!" Qin Jun, with his right hand resting on his knee, spoke with a smile that was somewhat sly—his words made Evening Star’s heart skip a beat.

Invite the lords of the domains?

The ambition was enormous!

Evening Star calmed himself and inquired, "What is the purpose of Your Majesty’s move?"

"I plan to have Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong fight a great battle, simultaneously intimidating all the domains!" Qin Jun said softly with a laugh.

Sun Wukong!

Evening Star’s eyelids twitched. Sun Wukong was a force to be reckoned with, able to thrash even the lords of the God Temple. Even the most powerful Eastern Flame Domain did not possess a Daluo. If the lords of the domains were to witness the battle, they might get frightened enough to pledge allegiance to Great Qin’s heavenly court right then and there.

Qin Jun’s strategy was a direct strike at the heart.

Proving the power of Great Qin’s heavenly court with absolute strength!

Evening Star did not question Yuan Hong’s capability of taking on Sun Wukong in battle but took a deep breath and said, "I will need a great general to accompany me!"

"Granted. Who do you have in mind?" Qin Jun asked with a nod and a smile.

"Yang Jian will suffice!" Evening Star said with a grave voice. Although Yang Jian was not a warrior of the Daluo Realm, he was definitely invincible across all domains!

Apart from him and Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian, Nine-headed Insect, Sixth Golden Crow, and Lv Yue were also at the Southernmost Sea, leading troops directly into battle and not coming to Fox King Island immediately, which was part of Qin Jun’s prior arrangements.

Meanwhile, Great Qin’s heavenly court was the safest, guarded by Kua Fu and the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint.

"Granted. Go ahead with the arrangements. Tomorrow morning, I’ll give you a decree to find Yang Jian," Qin Jun said, waving his hand with a laugh.

Evening Star nodded, suppressing his excitement as he turned to depart.

If this endeavor were successful, it would indeed count as a great achievement and could even become a legendary tale to be remembered for thousands of years. As he played a pivotal role in it, how could he not be thrilled?

"Ding! Side quest triggered—Invite the Domain Lords! Quest details: If Evening Star manages to invite more than seven domain lords to the Southernmost Sea, the host will receive a God and Demon summoning opportunity and a skill inheritance opportunity!"

The system prompt followed, causing Qin Jun to pause with a bittersweet smile.

This was the first time he had triggered a quest that required completion by his subordinates, quite interesting indeed.

But most of the tasks he had before relied on subordinates, not much different really.

When only Qin Jun was left in the great hall, he rested his hands on his knees and looked down with a chuckle, "I will eventually reign supreme over this entire universe!"

Such arrogantly wild words came from his mouth as if stating a fact.

...

Time flew by quickly.

Three days after the arrival of Li Jing and Nezha, Qin Jun broke through to the ninth layer of the Immortal Realm!

Getting closer and closer to the True Immortal Realm!

In high spirits, he went straight to the palace where Sun Wukong resided on the island.

Fox King Island had hundreds of palaces, large and small, with the largest naturally being the Fox King Palace, now renamed the Saint Emperor Palace.

"Great Sage, I have a plan that will make you famous throughout the world. Would you like to hear it?"

Qin Jun walked in with a big laugh, seeing Sun Wukong sitting at a table eating fruit, resembling bananas.

"Oh? Become famous throughout the world? Let’s hear it!" Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow and asked.

Staying on Fox King Island, he was almost bored to decay, yet he couldn’t lower himself to wage war for Qin Jun.

Hearing Qin Jun’s words now, he immediately became excited.
