Chapter 858: Chapter 858: I Want to Be the Emperor of a Hundred Realms

Resist destiny?

Qin Jun remained silent, watching as Liu Ruolai soared towards the Eye of Destiny; he could only pray for her safe and strong transformation.

From another perspective, this might not be such a bad thing.

As a Child of Destiny, Liu Ruolai’s future should be dazzling and splendid. The resources Qin Jun could provide paled in comparison to what destiny had in store for her.

"Take good care of our child!"

Qin Jun shouted, and with these words, Liu Ruolai’s figure trembled. She looked back at him with a complex expression and then nodded.

Then, Liu Ruolai flew into the Eye of Destiny. The surface of the Eye seemed to have a transparent entrance that allowed her to enter, and her figure disappeared.

"Now that you’ve made a choice, why waver? The Child of Destiny is very strong. The previous one dominated three thousand worlds and rarely met any opponents. After all, Liu Ruolai is one of yours; you essentially have control over a future Invincible power."

Ji Yongsheng consoled Qin Jun in his mind. His tone turned complex when he mentioned the Child of Destiny, but Qin Jun didn’t notice.

Without responding, Qin Jun continued to stare at the Eye of Destiny amidst the thunderclouds, which remained indifferent and heartless.

As the old saying goes, the grand path is emotionless. Destiny is part of this grand path. While it repelled the Extreme Flame Demon God, it didn’t truly wish to kill Qin Jun. Such is the rule of destiny; apart from the Child of Destiny, it treats all beings fairly. Absolute fairness is in fact ruthlessness.

After Liu Ruolai entered the space of destiny inheritance, the Eye of Destiny slowly closed and then rose, vanishing above the cloud sea.

All returned to calm, with only the collapsed Sacred City and the frozen buildings serving as proof of the recent fierce battle.

"I need to rest for a while now."

After Ji Yongsheng said these words, he fell into a deep sleep, and the Extreme Flame Demon God dissipated into the Samadhi Real Fire in the sky.

Without Ji Yongsheng’s power, Qin Jun began to fall. His body was badly injured, with broken bones all over.

"The host need not worry too much. Having obtained the inheritance of destiny, Liu Ruolai may even have the opportunity to become a saint. Although under the influence of the inheritance, her emotions will gradually be erased, as long as the host becomes strong enough to reverse destiny, you can find the original her."

The system’s voice sounded, causing Qin Jun’s gaze to flicker slightly.

Becoming a saint!

If ordinary beings pursue becoming immortals or gods, then immortals and gods strive to become saints.

To become a saint is to be immortal, to live as long as the Heavenly Dao.

"When you come out, I must prove to you that I am qualified to contend with destiny!"

Qin Jun’s fighting spirit burned fiercely. He wasn’t discouraged but instead felt more motivated.

His woman was going to grow stronger, and he should be happy about it. A man should not hate this but find a way to become stronger himself!

Bai Ze swiftly flew over and caught Qin Jun. Looking at his weary face, she sighed, "Why bother?"

After saying that, Bai Ze flew towards Saint Emperor Peak, holding Qin Jun in her arms.

She found it hard to understand Qin Jun’s actions. To fight against destiny for a woman?

From the standpoint of a dominant leader, it was extremely unwise.

...

The battle of the Sacred City did not spread but was instead covered up by the Great Qin Heavenly Court. After all, it was a disgraceful affair.

The next morning, Qin Jun summoned the courtiers to hold court in the Junzheng Hall.

Clothed in the Nine Dragons Supreme Emperor’s Robe, Qin Jun’s features were stern. Having recovered with the medicines from the Mythology Mall, he was completely healed overnight.

The great hall was silent. The thousands of civil and martial officials looked at Qin Jun, filled with awe.

Yesterday’s performance by Qin Jun had shocked all the creatures of the Sacred City. No one expected that, apart from being an expert strategist, Qin Jun was also tremendously powerful in combat. War generals like Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba couldn’t help but want to dissect Qin Jun to see what kind of monster he really was.

And Qin Jun wasn’t even twenty years old yet!

Unprecedented and unrivaled!

In ancient times, those beings born with an innate connection to the heavens and the earth had also been nurtured for countless years. How could a being not even twenty years old possess such combat power?

"Today, I have but one thing to say,"

Qin Jun scanned all the beings present with a somber voice. Whether it was humans or demons, none dared to meet his gaze.

After yesterday’s events, Qin Jun seemed like a different person, becoming even more distinguished and authoritative, perhaps due to the profound impact his performance had on the civil and military officials.

"Prepare for war. First conquer the surrounding territories and gradually expand!" Qin Jun declared, enunciating each word.

Upon hearing this, the civil officials turned pale, while the military generals became excited.

For generals like Xing Tian and Sun Wukong, war was their greatest pleasure.

The civil officials, however, had to consider the nation’s well-being. The Western Regions had just been subdued, and the Great Qin Celestial Court’s domain was in the midst of stable development; it seemed inadvisable to rush into war.

But seeing the expression on Qin Jun’s face, no one dared to object.

"I’ve been nearly bursting with impatience. Your Majesty, just say who to fight, and I’ll fight them!"

"Haha! My hammers are almost rusting from disuse!"

"Hmph, it should be my turn to campaign this time! None of you should try to snatch it away from me!"

"With so many territories, we should each take one!"

Generals like Sun Wukong, Li Yuanba, Luo Shixin, Xiang Yu, Nine-headed Insect, and Sixth Golden Crow started to dispute among themselves.

The territories surrounding the Great Qin Celestial Court are weak, far inferior to those around the central wastelands.

Liu Bowen couldn’t help but raise his hand to ask, "Your Majesty, aren’t we acting a bit hastily? The day when one of the Nine Emperors will be decided is close at hand, and we must prepare thoroughly."

Compared to the Nine Emperors, the surrounding territories were hardly worth mentioning.

To become one of the Nine Emperors, how many strong forces would flock to Qin Jun’s banner, how many domains would come to seek his favor?

"Divide our forces into two groups. I will personally lead a few favored generals to Juetian Plain," Qin Jun dismissed with a wave of his hand.

Only the rulers listed in the top hundred on the Dominance Leaderboard are eligible to attend, each ruler may bring a few guards, and although the exact number is not specified, it certainly cannot be too many; otherwise, it would incur the wrath of the Hall of Heavenly Destiny.

Liu Bowen hesitated to speak, but seeing Qin Jun’s resolute face, he held back.

Upon reconsideration, it was clear that the Great Qin Celestial Court was in an unparalleled boom, indeed there was no need to worry about depletion.

"In five days, I will head to Juetian Plain. Thus, within these five days, you all must come up with a battle plan!" Qin Jun said, leaning on his knees, his gaze falling upon Bai Ze, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Ziya, and Shen Gongbao.

Liu Bowen was in charge of domestic affairs and did not need to interject in matters of war.

Moreover, the talents of Bai Ze and others were no less than Liu Bowen’s. It was only that Liu Bowen had joined Qin Jun earlier, and distributing authority would allow them to check and balance each other.

"My goal is clear! Within one month, I want to be the emperor of ten territories!"

"Within one year, I wish to control thirty territories!"

"And within three years, I intend to become the emperor of a hundred territories!"

Qin Jun stood up and declared emphatically, his declaration stirring the passion of the civil and military officials.

Emperor of a hundred territories!

In the present world, there was no emperor who controlled a hundred territories!

Not even the mightiest, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny stood aloof, with the Hall of Heavenly Destiny being far from mundane affairs, and he did not control many territories.

"We will conquer in all directions for Your Majesty, assisting Your Majesty to ascend to the throne of the emperor of a hundred territories!"

Liu Bowen was the first to bow and shout, and as his words fell, the civil and military officials followed suit, raising their voices together. The momentum was substantial, reverberating throughout Saint Emperor Peak.
