Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Reincarnation of the War God Shakes All Directions

The following morning dawned.

Qin Jun, Hou Yi, Kua Fu, and Xiang Yu flew out of the colossal cave. By now, the area surrounding the cave had been leveled to a plain, with countless tents erected swiftly across the land. Soldiers were on guard in circle after circle, and among them were not only soldiers from the Human Clan but also from the Demon Clan.

Nezha’s formidable Spirit Demon troops were all from the Demon Clan, but now that the Great Qin Heavenly Court had legislated equality between humans and demons, no chaos ensured.

Apart from the Spirit Demon troops, many soldiers from various imperial dynasties in the Southern Domain had arrived to support them because, given their cultivation levels, the cultivators of the mortal world could hardly stir up any trouble.

Upon seeing Qin Jun and the others emerge from the giant cave, all the soldiers promptly knelt down.

"We greet Your Majesty!"

Millions of soldiers all knelt and cried out in unison.

Especially the soldiers from the mortal world, whose faces were filled with fanaticism.

The legendary Holy Emperor of Qin appearing before their eyes left them tremendously awestruck, even bringing some to tears.

In the distance, members of the Xuanling Sect stood on a mountaintop, watching the figures of Qin Jun and the others fly into the sky.

"Aren’t you going to find him?"

Zhuo Junjie frowned and asked, clearly aware of what his little junior sister constantly longed for.

Chang Tianyou and the other elders and disciples also turned their gaze to Chang Qianqian, who shook her head and smiled, "Let it be. I do like him and want to strive to stand by his side, not to enjoy the grace of his imperial favor."

She understood that, although Qin Jun seemed glorious, the enemies he faced and the pressure he bore were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

She wanted to be a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Jun, not a consort who hid behind him, enjoying wealth and prosperity.

But voicing this sentiment, her heart still ached.

As if something had shattered.

This time, she did not cry but quietly watched Qin Jun’s voice fade into the horizon, a moment that seemed eternal. How many years would pass before she saw him again?

Perhaps the seas would change into mulberry fields.

Perhaps there would be no more meetings.

...

As noon approached.

Qin Jun and company returned to the celestial world of the Southern Domain. He flew back swiftly, even foregoing his golden palanquin, all to seize more time for cultivation.

This time, he had collected numerous extinct treasures from the Immortal Tomb that could be processed into body-strengthening elixirs, surely enabling him to advance by leaps and bounds.

As for the Sword Master, he had disappeared the night before, leaving only a message echoing up from ten thousand meters below: "The Soul-Returning Pill has been found. I owe you a favor!"

A favor from the Sword Master was indeed very valuable.

There were few people in the world who could defeat the Sword Master; in the future, should the Great Qin Heavenly Court face the threat of destruction, they could call on him for help.

Of course, it would be best if such a crisis never occurred!

Meanwhile, news of the Immortal Tomb in the Southern Domain spread like wildfire everywhere, utterly impossible to suppress, because it involved several important figures.

"Have you heard? An Immortal Tomb has appeared beneath the Great Qin Heavenly Court in the Southern Domain, and from it has escaped an ancestor of the Demon Clan!"

"Really? I’d only heard that the Ghost King Sima Mengmo was scared off by a subordinate of the Holy Emperor of Qin!"

"Hiss—didn’t you know that the Nether Emperor and the Sword Master also went to that Immortal Tomb?"

"This is even bigger than the Divine Tomb upheaval in the Central Wilderness. Though there were no fierce battles, it’s very rare for such important figures to gather all at once in thousands of years."

"Tsk tsk, with the Nether Emperor, the Sword Master, and the Ghost King pressuring him, for the Holy Emperor of Qin to keep the Immortal Tomb is remarkable!"

Gossips and rumors swirled through hundreds of domains, and the affair of the Immortal Tomb skyrocketed Qin Jun’s fame exponentially.

Before long, the Nether Emperor released another startling piece of news to the world.

The Holy Emperor of Qin was the reincarnation of the world’s strongest from one hundred and thirty thousand years ago!

Upon this revelation, the world was profoundly shaken.

For a time, various messages about the Holy Court and the God of War, Ji Yongsheng, were unearthed. Ancient texts once destroyed by deities always had omissions, which some keen individuals dug up and circulated throughout the world, exacerbating the situation.

In the desolate Central Wilderness, within the Nether King City.

"What? The Holy Emperor of Qin is the reincarnation of the God of War from 130,000 years ago?"

The Nether Dream Demon sovereign stood up abruptly from the throne, her eyes revealing shock behind the mask.

The Nether King attendant kneeling before her said in a deep voice, "Yes! Even the Demon Emperor, the progenitor of the Demon Clan, knelt before him!"

The Nether Dream Demon sovereign slumped back onto her throne, as if she had lost her soul, muttering, "No wonder... no wonder..."

No wonder Qin Jun’s rise to power was so dominant!

Half a year ago, Qin Jun hadn’t even unified the Southern Domain, yet now he has grown strong enough to trample on empire-level forces.

Truly unprecedented and likely never to be surpassed!

She began to contemplate making amends to Qin Jun, to ensure he bore no grudge against the Nether King Palace.

Once Qin Jun regained his former stature, who in the world could stand against him?

Ji Yongsheng, the God of War, was a being who dared to challenge the deities for all eternity!

...

In the Donghuang Territory, this was the domain of the Demon Emperor, spanning twenty regions. Although it was somewhat inferior to the six palaces, it had carved out most of the Demon Ruins for itself.

Atop the endless wilds, the Demon Emperor Palace stood quietly, and at the very top of the grand hall sat Donghuang Taiyi on his golden throne, resting his chin on one hand, listening to a demon soldier report.

Dozens of Demon Kings sat on either side, their cultivation all above the level of Taiyi Mysterious Immortals.

"The Demon Emperor has appeared and his whereabouts are unknown. Before he left, he knelt before the Holy Emperor of Qin, proclaiming him to be the reincarnation of the God of War. This message was personally declared by the Nether Emperor, hence its authenticity is extremely high," the demon soldier rapidly recited, the scroll in his hand dissolving into specks of starlight.

The dozens of Demon Kings immediately began to discuss among themselves.

Donghuang Taiyi sat still on his golden throne, murmuring, "The reincarnation of the God of War?"

His lips curled in a smile as he shook his head, "Clever boy, I indeed wasn’t wrong about him. With this identity alone, he will certainly be useful in the future heaven-breaking endeavor!"

Even knowing Qin Jun was the reincarnation of the God of War, he felt no fear or intent to kill.

What of the reincarnation of the God of War?

Even if he was the God of War, he didn’t regard him as a significant threat.

Because he firmly believed himself to be invincible!

...

Mountains spanning thousands of miles, resembling picturesque scenery.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, dressed in red, played his zither atop a mountain peak as usual. The zither’s melodious tones, akin to a gently flowing river, tranquilized the mind and soul of any listener.

The attendant beside him couldn’t help but marvel, "Great Emperor, the Holy Emperor of Qin is actually the reincarnation of the God of War? Is it true or could it be slander from the Nether Emperor?"

"It’s unlikely. Although the Nether Emperor has a dark temperament and resorts to any means necessary, he wouldn’t dare make such claims in this matter, as it could go against Destiny," the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny replied with a chuckle, his handsome face sporting a serene smile, resembling a scholar.

It was hard to associate him as the strongest of the current era.

"If the Holy Emperor of Qin is indeed the reincarnation of the God of War, should we invite him to join the Nine Emperors’ plan?" the attendant asked cautiously, blinking her eyes.

Having accompanied the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny for tens of thousands of years, she might appear to be just a girl, but her understanding was clear, and she was the most trusted person to the Great Emperor.

"So what if he is the reincarnation of the God of War. Ji Yongsheng challenged the divine might, met his demise, and the glory of the Holy Court came to an end. Do you still expect him, thirteen thousand years later, to challenge the deities again?"

An air of pride radiated from the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s brows, revealing some disdain as well as pity for Ji Yongsheng.

"Perhaps Ji Yongsheng truly was strong, but his reincarnation may not necessarily return to the peak. How many great beings have reincarnated after death only to become ordinary in the end?"

"If he can defeat Tathāgata of the Western Region, then he’ll be qualified to be a contender for the Nine Emperors."

"Of course, that’s merely being qualified."
