"The master has succeeded!!"

Within Jiangnan, the people of the Shen Family who had been waiting for news were now incredibly excited.

Since they pledged allegiance to Chen Qing, they felt that Chen Qing could accomplish great things, but they didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

Secret histories within the Shen Family’s archives recorded many ancient events, and the Shen Family’s successive ancestors merely wished to acquire an ancient identity and become a part of it.

The greatest desire of the Old Ancestor Shen back then was nothing more than to become an outsider Dragon Clan member in the Dragon Palace, with a chance to live for thousands of years.

But since pledging allegiance to Chen Qing, from the Dragon Palace, Celestial Serpent, and now Heaven’s Court, all those once unattainable entities seemed to be unexpectedly conquered one by one.

Heaven’s Court was something they had only seen recorded in the Dragon Palace—an unparalleled Ancient Secret Realm, the top power of ancient times overlooking the earth, where even an ordinary Heavenly General could eat dragon meat.

A force of such magnitude, incredibly, was taken down by their master’s single scheme?

For a moment, even Shen Er, who was usually strict, felt a bit like being in a dream.

Yet the strong Power of Faith was indeed real, and beams of light suddenly appeared, descending onto Jiangnan from the sky, causing countless Jiangnan citizens to look up.

They didn’t know what had happened, but they clearly felt like they’d hit a stroke of luck, their bodies feeling light and refreshed, as if they were having a remarkable streak of good fortune.

This feeling was exceptionally strong, causing many people’s moods to float skyward.

For a time, the atmosphere in Jiangnan improved immensely, and the side effects of being influenced by the Buddha Light significantly dropped to a minimal level.

--------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the distant Vermilion Bird City of the Southern Wilderness, Three-Eyed stared blankly at the sky.

He never thought the place he had guarded for so long was so fragile, did he?

All along, he had thought that Heaven’s Court had amassed enough power, but now it seemed he was mistaken.

Heaven’s Court perched on high for many years, fostering corruption at the upper levels, with the Heavenly King’s Army consuming the best resources yet contributing the most negative impact, the lower-tier Heavenly Soldiers and Generals filled with resentment, especially after this Heavenly Pond "killing the goose to get the eggs" incident, which further eroded the loyalty of the demon-born soldiers at the bottom.

Coupled with a traditionally conservative Elder Long making a radical decision, a single fracture led to a complete collapse...

But no matter what, it is still Heaven’s Court, right?

With millions of years and such a robust foundation, it was taken down by a gambler, truly...

"How?" King of Qin felt extremely conflicted about this result.

In the depths of his heart, he wasn’t particularly eager for Chen Qing to succeed; strong people tend to trust themselves more. If Chen Qing failed, he could effortlessly take over Jiangnan, and he believed Chen Qing’s forces under his command wouldn’t fare poorly.

But Chen Qing succeeded, and despite his unwillingness, he had to admit that Chen Qing was indeed more formidable than him.

He dared to gamble, dared to use all means to strategize, dared to imagine things he didn’t dare to consider.

Despite having the same memories as Pu YunChuan, he was constrained by the shackles of his own body’s memories, harboring a lingering respect for those lofty ancients, which remained a significant hindrance.

And Chen Qing proved with facts that he was the one who could lead them to seize hope.

"Indeed formidable..." Three-Eyed sighed, "Chen Qing was formidable before, and now he seems more unconstrained, even more formidable. I must admit, as a leader, he is far more courageous than Elder Long."

"What is your choice?" King of Qin looked at him.

"Let’s go..." Three-Eyed sighed and walked toward the nearby glowing teleportation beam.

King of Qin broke into a smile; now that Heaven’s Court was Chen Qing’s territory and Chen Qing was the Master of the Divine Path there, entering that place meant that even someone as mighty as Old Liu wouldn’t necessarily retreat unscathed.

Three-Eyed dared to go alone, representing his resolved understanding.

From now on, among the world’s top powers, there would be a place for Chen Qing!

-----------------------------------------------

"That kid... has really succeeded!" Victorious Fighting Buddha sat atop the Imperial Palace in Yundu, watching the changes in Heaven’s Court, his expression complex.

Once belittled by Elder Long, he dreamed of one day leading an army to topple Heaven’s Court, hanging the realm upside down for a beating so that it knew the serious consequences of belittling him.

Everyone said he was reckless, but he always believed he could lead the Buddha Kingdom’s army to level Heaven’s Court, never considering, nor daring to imagine, achieving this alone.

This guy... is the real wild one.

He bragged for many years but never set foot in any territory of Heaven’s Court, while the other party, barely in their twenties, managed to defeat Elder Long and truly claimed the throne of Heaven’s Court.

"Truly formidable..."

He never acknowledged anyone, including Three-Eyed, who, without the assistance of numerous Heavenly Generals, would hardly have been his opponent, yet Chen Qing accomplished what he could not.

"Indeed overly formidable."

At some point, Old Liu also took a seat on the roof, gazing at the sky, in a daze.

He released Chen Qing, recognizing him as a threat, but the extent of his growth was staggering.

The deeds Elder Long accomplished over the years were unpalatable, yet he was the one who suppressed all the forces for so many years, even in the real world, wielding the means to entirely curb his military exploits, proving his exceptional prowess.

Such an individual lost so easily?

Perhaps everyone underestimated this Chen Qing fellow.

Now even he began to doubt if releasing Chen Qing to disrupt the game was a wise decision—his growth was too swift, and now controlling Heaven’s Court posed a threat potentially more daunting than Elder Long.

"Old man, what’s the plan?" Victorious Fighting Buddha said calmly.

"Let’s consolidate our own forces first..

." Old Liu returned a smile and said, "No need to panic, he’s expanding too fast. His subordinates can’t handle so many forces; excessively dispersed troops are becoming increasingly severe.

Ultimately, the foundation is too thin, and the appetite too vast. Carelessly, he’ll have to regurgitate everything he gobbled up! "

Victorious Fighting Buddha nodded slightly upon hearing this.

They had studied Chen Qing’s forces many times; this time even the Jiangnan main body nearly lacked reinforcements. Occupying Heaven’s Court, it would be impossible for the recently surrendered soldiers to fully control there.

He would surely deploy his direct troops to fortify the defenses.

But does he have any to deploy?

In the Northern Wasteland, the Warrior Army was tasked with guarding multiple forces, while his Jiangnan Gateway’s Western Sea Army suffered significant losses.

Would he dare use the newly surrendered forces to defend the gateway?

If he dares, this side dares to incite rebellion.

A force newly established around a decade ago, as Old Liu said, the foundation is too weak, progress too rapid; swallowing it all at once to grow fat is not so simple.

Moreover, his time is running out.

The great war... will likely begin by the end of the year!
