Chapter 651: Chapter 651: The Great Sage’s Allegiance

"You lost!" Sun Wukong whispered, his face full of proud smiles.

This is the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, never hiding his emotions.

Laugh when he feels like laughing, rage when he feels like raging!

A look of unwillingness and indignation flashed in Yuan Hong’s eyes, but eventually, he took a deep breath and cupped his fist, saying, "It is I who have lost!"

Sun Wukong grew stronger as the battle waged on; if it continued this way, the one to lose would still be him.

Once he understood this, he let go of his reluctance.

Unlike Sun Wukong, Yuan Hong was a great general, versed in both literary and martial strategy. Losing meant losing; he wouldn’t act like a child refusing to accept defeat and demanding another fight. Besides, after the battle, he had come to admire Sun Wukong somewhat.

"Hehe, you are strong. If old Taishang hadn’t refined me for forty-nine days, perhaps I wouldn’t even be your match," Sun Wukong said as he waved his hand, unaware that his temperament seemed somewhat subdued after spending a long time in the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

Had this been before, he would definitely have mocked his opponent.

The two monkeys looked at each other and smiled, a smile that dissolved all grudges, and then turned to fly toward Dilin Island.

With that, the unparalleled battle of the two great monkeys came to an end.

Atop Saint Emperor Peak, Hou Yi exclaimed, "This Supreme Heaven Great Sage truly possesses the grandeur of our Witch Clan."

Kua Fu stroked his beard and said, "Yuan Hong is not bad either, but Sun Wukong’s physical body is more enigmatic, inscrutable."

Hou Yi nodded; even having reached the late phase of the Golden Immortal Realm of Daluo, he couldn’t understand why Sun Wukong could grow increasingly strong in battle. Could it be a natural talent?

Only this explanation made sense.

Qin Jun slowly rose to his feet and smiled at all the spectators of the Platform of War, "The competition has ended; how did you find this opening act?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the initially eerily silent Platform of War suddenly erupted into earth-shattering cheers:

"So amazing! This battle was truly earth-shattering!"

"Supreme Heaven Great Sage is so cool!"

"Hmph! General Yuan wasn’t bad either!"

"Great Sage, ah! Aah! So strong!"

"Hahaha! They’re both war gods of the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

All spectators roared with excitement, especially those Demon Kings from the Southernmost Sea; both Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong came from the Demon Clan. Seeing two peerless Demon Kings display such prowess, how could they not be thrilled?

At the same time, they began to feel a sense of belonging to Qin Jun.

By promoting two demon generals at such an important event, Qin Jun was undoubtedly treating the Demon Clan as his own people.

Furthermore, the Demon Clan itself adhered to a philosophy of revering the strong and the survival of the fittest. Now that the Great Qin Heavenly Court was more prosperous than during the Green Fox King’s reign over the Southernmost Sea, and Qin Jun displayed even greater kingly bearing than the Green Fox King, they naturally submitted to his rule.

The nine Lords remained silent, still not recovering from their shock.

The strength displayed by Yuan Hong and Sun Wukong left them in despair.

Now it seemed that the Great Qin Heavenly Court didn’t need to negotiate terms with them at all; where their armed forces pointed, rivers of blood would flow, territories would be wiped out.

"I have failed to meet Your Majesty’s high expectations!"

Yuan Hong approached Qin Jun, knelt halfway, and lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Qin Jun.

At this moment, he and Sun Wukong were both covered in blood, looking quite pitiful.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, personally helped him up, and consoled him, "I had no requirement for you to win; your performance hasn’t shamed me."

Despite this, Yuan Hong still felt ashamed.

At that moment, Sun Wukong also came before Qin Jun, knelt halfway, and chuckled, "Sun Wukong pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Ding! Side quest completed—subdue Sun Wukong! You have gained one God and Demon pinnacle opportunity, one God and Demon dungeon chance, and one random draw!"

As the system prompt sounded, Qin Jun stood there, perplexed, and asked, "Do you wish to serve me?"

He inexplicably felt as if he were dreaming.

With Sun Wukong’s unruliness, how could he possibly submit without winning a fight against him?

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and smiled, "Your Majesty has many strong warriors under his command, and I’m afraid I might not be the strongest. Moreover, Your Majesty has saved my life. I willingly swear allegiance to you!"

These words were indeed sincere.

He had always been supremely arrogant, never following any ruler, but his time spent with Qin Jun had led him to many realizations and understandings.

He found that he truly wasn’t fit to be a king. Even though his abilities reached the sky, he had barely ever considered how to govern his forces or to make them stronger.

In his previous life, although he had self-proclaimed the title of Supreme Heaven Great Sage, he was only a king in his own territory of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

It was a forced hand that led him to create Havoc in Heaven since he had no other choice.

A single phrase from Qin Jun profoundly struck him and he always remembered it: "A true king should not wait for enemies to come knocking before resisting, but rather sweep across the Eight Wilderness, and strike terror into the hearts of all enemies!"

"Hahaha! Having the Great Sage’s aid is like having an extra arm!" Qin Jun laughed heartily as he helped Sun Wukong to his feet.

The row of civil and military officials behind him all rolled their eyes.

Damn, that’s what you said to me at first!

How many arms do you need, exactly?

They sneered inwardly, but dared not speak their thoughts aloud.

Qin Jun walked to the edge of the high platform, his spirits soaring as he raised his arms, as if embracing the heavens—a sight that silenced the crowd, as they looked fervently at that peerless young Emperor.

The nine domain lords also stood up, having witnessed the opening spectacle, they were now completely intimidated and dared not put on airs.

"The God Temple is incompetent, oppressing us from all domains, and their temple master has even led troops to attack me. Today, I hold this banquet of ten domains for one purpose—to fight!"

Qin Jun slowly began, channeling his mighty energy, his voice spreading throughout the assembly, accelerating everyone’s heartbeat.

Fight?

The nine domain lords were terrified, seemingly guessing what he would say next.

"We fight for the land, we fight for freedom, why should the God Temple rule over us?"

Qin Jun’s mouth curved upwards, his tone suddenly becoming passionate, stirring a fervent excitement in the crowd.

"Great Qin’s Heavenly Court wishes to unite all domains, to strengthen ourselves!"

"Today will be remembered in history. In the future, the banquet of ten domains will expand to twenty, fifty, and even a hundred!"

Hisss—

The nine domain lords gasped. Was Qin Jun aiming to lead a hundred domains?

Wasn’t his ambition a tad too great?

"Next, a martial competition will be held, with General Li presiding as the judge. The fights will stop upon contact, and the top ten will be richly rewarded, even receiving titles and ranks!"

Qin Jun continued, exciting the millions of onlookers gathered there.

Then, with a glance at the nine domain lords, he turned and left, the domain lords looking at each other with wry smiles before departing.

The forthcoming meeting of the ten domains, naturally, could not be discussed in front of everyone.

Li Yuanba swiftly flew to the open space within the Platform of War, smashed his golden-winged hammer into the ground, and sneered, "The rules are simple, stepping outside of the Platform of War means defeat, one can also concede! If I judge that someone is about to lose, I will intervene to prevent injury—that’s the spirit!"

The rules were naturally arranged by Qin Jun, as having cultivators or Demon Kings die tragically that day would be unpleasant.

As soon as this was declared, many cultivators and Demon Kings were eager to try their luck.

The soldiers at the edge of the open space started to activate the magic arrays, raising a light screen that enveloped the ground to prevent harm to the spectators on the steps.

"Who wants to be the first to come forward?" Li Yuanba chuckled, "Survive ten consecutive victories to qualify for the next round. The preliminary round lasts only three hours, so make good use of your time!"
