Soon, over thirty thousand soldiers on the nine giant peaks expressed their allegiance to Ji Tianxing.
As for the remaining twenty thousand soldiers, as well as the four commanders and Divine King Yun Kuo, they were still hesitating and observing.
These soldiers were considered Dao Xingyun's direct subordinates. They were even more loyal to Dao Xingyun.
They looked at the four commanders and Divine King Yun Kuo to see what choice they would make.
Ji Tianxing's gaze also landed on Divine King Yun Kuo.
He did not say a word. His gaze was cold as he looked at Divine King Yun Kuo with a dignified aura. It exerted immense pressure on him.
At that moment, Divine King Yun Kuo was in a state of internal conflict. Not only was he enduring everyone's gazes, he was also experiencing immense torment inwardly.
Everyone knew that he was Dao Xingyun's final disciple.
At such a moment of life and death, the other soldiers could be selfish and choose to surrender for survival.
Even so, no one would scold them for being disloyal.
But Divine King Yun Kuo could not!
Even if Dao Xingyun was already dead, as his final disciple, he absolutely could not surrender to Kenshin.
Everything he had today was bestowed upon him by Dao Xingyun.
Dao Xingyun had been killed by an expert. He should be buried with Dao Xingyun to be worthy of his master's nurturing.
Divine King Yun Kuo naturally understood this logic.
However … he did not wish to die!
He had experienced so many hardships in his life before finally arriving at the Planet of Origins, the origin of all things in the world. It was the final sacred ground that hid the mystery of eternal life.
He had hopes of breaking through to the God Emperor realm here. He also had hopes of coming into contact with the mystery of eternal life.
For him to give up his life for his deceased master … that was too difficult!
He was in a dilemma.
He was hesitant about his choice.
If he refused to surrender, he could preserve his reputation for loyalty, but his life's efforts would be for naught.
Furthermore, the tens of thousands of soldiers could surrender and live. Why should he be the only one to be buried with Dao Xingyun?
If he surrendered to Kenshin, he could naturally live. In the future, he would have a chance of breaking through to the God Emperor realm.
However, the tens of thousands of soldiers would definitely criticize him behind his back and label him with all sorts of bad names.
Difficult!
It was too difficult!
At this moment, Yun Kuo wished that he was not making a choice in front of everyone. He would rather fight on the battlefield, where his life and death were up to the heavens.
The incomparable pressure and the choice between life and death made Yun Kuo turn nervous. His back was drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing said something at this moment.
"Every living being has the right to live. Compared to life and death, other things might not be that important."
It was this sentence that caused the twenty thousand soldiers who were still watching to stiffen, revealing thoughtful expressions.
It also made the hesitant God King Yun Kuo finally make up his mind. He closed his eyes and made his decision.
"Lord Kenshin, I, Godking Yun Kuo, am … willing … to submit!"
Although it was only a sentence, a short sixteen words, it seemed to have used up all of his strength.
After saying the word 'submit', Divine King Yun Kuo seemed to have obtained relief as he let out a long sigh.
As for the four commanders and the twenty thousand soldiers, they withdrew their gazes and revealed complicated expressions.
Of course, there were people who despised Divine King Yun Kuo for his cowardice.
However, there were also many soldiers who heaved a sigh of relief as they revealed expressions of relief.
In fact, while Divine King Yun Kuo was hesitating and in a dilemma, how could they not be tormented and wavering?
Thankfully, Divine King Yun Kuo finally made his choice.
Even if there was infamy, he had to shoulder it all alone.
Everyone was happy.
After Divine King Yun Kuo announced his submission, the four commanders did not hesitate as they also expressed their submission to Ji Tianxing.
The twenty thousand soldiers also had nothing to say as they obediently expressed their loyalty.
Although there were some who were more stubborn and were unwilling to surrender, they gave up after being persuaded by their companions.
In this way, Ji Tianxing used less than an hour to subdue more than fifty thousand elite soldiers under Dao Xingyun.
Of course, these soldiers only submitted verbally. They might still be conflicted in their hearts.
However, Ji Tianxing did not have the patience, nor did he have the time to slowly influence the soldiers and make them serve him willingly.
He used the simplest and crudest method to ensure everyone's loyalty.
It was the same old rules. Both the ordinary and the evolved version of the Heavenly Dao Oath were given.
The ordinary version of the Heavenly Dao Oath was prepared for the fifty thousand soldiers.
The more detailed evolved version was prepared for Divine King Yun Kuo, the four commanders, and the twenty plus generals.
Under Ji Tianxing's suppression, everyone followed the corresponding Heavenly Dao Oath and recited it together.
After everyone finished reciting the Heavenly Dao Oath, they saw an unforgettable scene.
The entire nebula world was covered by a worldly phenomenon.
The sky for billions of miles was filled with thunderbolts and divine flames. Everyone was dizzy from the continuous rumbling of thunder.
When everyone swore a Heavenly Dao Oath, it would cause a worldly phenomenon. It would summon a scene of lightning and divine flames filling the sky.
And when more than fifty thousand people swore together, the outcome was imaginable … The worldly phenomenon lasted for two full days before dissipating.
After recruiting the fifty thousand soldiers, Ji Tianxing left the nebula world.
He did not assign any missions to the soldiers, nor did he have many requests.
However, before he left, he gave Divine King Yun Kuo an order and assigned a mission.
The mission was very simple. It was to get Divine King Yun Kuo to pacify the soldiers and allow them to resume their normal cultivation as soon as possible, as well as conserve their energy.
In the future, when he needed these tens of thousands of soldiers, he hoped that Divine King Yun Kuo could produce an army with strict discipline and outstanding combat strength.
If this request was not met, it would not be Ji Tianxing who would be harmed, but themselves.
After all, soldiers were trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. Once they were needed in battle, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle.
…
Ji Tianxing had once thought of splitting up Dao Xingyun's fifty thousand soldiers and combining them with his fifty thousand soldiers to form two armies.
Then, he would let the generals under his command command these two armies to ensure the loyalty of the army.
However, doing so would be a waste of time. It would also cause the two armies to have prejudices against each other, resulting in many conflicts.
Even if there were commanders and generals to suppress them, the two armies that appeared united on the surface would not be able to unleash their greatest combat strength.
Rather than that, it was better to leave things as they were.
The soldiers under Dao Xingyun were still under the command of Divine King Yun Kuo and the four commanders. This would be more cohesive.
And the only difficulty was left to Ji Tianxing to resolve. That was … when and under what circumstances to use Divine King Yun Kuo's army was extremely important.
After settling these trivial matters, Ji Tianxing returned to the distorted spacetime and cultivated in seclusion for a few years.
Then, he left the distorted spacetime and returned to the God-Slaying Battleship.
According to his calculations, the God-Slaying Battleship had already reached the east of the Taiyu Shrine. It would not be long before it crossed the border.
