Another battle had begun!
The Shaman and Demon Race could not stand the loneliness.
As long as they could find the slightest weakness of the other party, they would beat them to death. As the 'rumor' spread, the news of the Great Sage's death spread like a plague. The entire Demon Race army panicked and fell into chaos. Adding on the fact that the Four Sovereigns were injured, hiding, and scheming, the situation became even more chaotic.
Shi Jiuyin led the Shaman Race army and rushed over in a mighty manner.
Take his life while he's weak!
The Demon Race army's morale was low. On the other hand, the Shaman Race army's morale was high. They were ambitious and wanted to drive the Demon Race back to the Boundless Sea and reclaim their lost land. Another great battle broke out. This time, there was no suspense. The Demon Race army was at a disadvantage almost as soon as the battle started, even if they were in a defensive position.
Strength was indeed important, but morale …
It was also a factor that could not be ignored in war.
An army with high morale was like having absolute confidence. The strength it displayed was incomparably powerful! On the surface, the Demon Race army's strength was not weaker than the Shaman Race army, especially when the Shaman Race army was led by Shi Jiuyin. Shaman Emperor Dijiang was not present, but the result … was completely one-sided.
…
"Haha!"
"Hahahaha!"
In the military camp, Shi Jiuyin laughed wildly without restraint.
His gloomy and cold eyes flashed with a confident luster. He was incomparably excited about this carefree victory.
Swept away his depression!
During the period when he was temporarily the Shaman Emperor, he had suffered a lot. He was suppressed and beaten by the Demon Race. The final defeat was engraved in his heart. It directly caused him to lose the hearts of the people. He was deserted by everyone and stepped down from the Shaman Emperor's position, becoming an 'abandoned' pawn.
Who would have thought that things would take a turn for the worse? Shaman Emperor Dijiang, who he had regarded as an enemy, had nurtured him. This victory could be said to have pulled him back from hell!
With Dijiang's arrangement, he believed that he would be able to return to the Shaman Emperor's position in a short one year and lead the entire Shaman Race!
This time, it would not be temporary, but permanent!
He, Shi Jiuyin, would be the future Shaman Emperor!
Thinking of this, Shi Jiuyin's eyes burned with ambition. He was extremely obsessed with power, even more so than strength.
"Reporting to the Shaman King, the Earth Shaman King has arrived." The guard reported.
"Is that so? Let him in." Shi Jiuyin's eyes lit up as he waved his hand.
Now, as he turned hostility into friendship with the Witch Emperor Jiang, he and Houtu were no longer enemies. Of course, their friendship was also ordinary. After all, they were once enemies. It was impossible for them to shake hands and make peace in the blink of an eye. They were still very unfamiliar with each other.
"Nine Yin." Houtu slowly entered and nodded.
"Rare guest." Shi Jiuyin's lips curled into a cold sneer as he gestured for Huang Xiaolong to enter.
"There's no need. I'm just here to pass on a message." Houtu's eyes were burning as she spoke indifferently.
"Oh?" Shi Jiuyin snorted disdainfully and said with a smile that didn't look like a smile, "What kind of words could make the Houtu Shaman King come personally? Jiuyin is overwhelmed by the favor."
Houtu could hear the sarcasm in Shi Jiuyin's words. Her expression changed slightly, but she didn't take it to heart. She spoke slowly, "Pass on the Witch Emperor's message, the Witch Race army is to stop attacking and wait for further instructions."
Shi Jiuyin frowned, looking at Houtu with suspicion. "What kind of joke is this? My Witch Race's morale is at its peak. Our warriors are crazed for battle. On top of that, the demonic beast army's morale is low. With such a great advantage, you're telling me to stop the battle? Ridiculous! "
In Shi Jiuyin's eyes, it was indeed ridiculous!
It felt like there was food in front of you, but someone suddenly told you you can't eat it. Wasn't this a joke?
A light flickered in Houtu's eyes, but she said indifferently, "I'm just here to pass on the Witch Emperor's message."
"You!" Shi Jiuyin was enraged, but he quickly calmed down. He asked solemnly, "Where is the Witch Emperor? I want to see him."
Houtu shook her head, "I don't know, the Witch Emperor seems to have something to do."
"Is that so?" Shi Jiuyin narrowed his eyes, a sharp light glinted in his eyes. "Alright, I got it."
Watching Shi Jiuyin's expression change, Houtu's eyes narrowed. She said earnestly, "Let me give you a piece of advice, the Witch Emperor has his reasons for doing this. Don't play with fire." Without waiting for Shi Jiuyin's reply, Houtu turned and left, leaving Shi Jiuyin alone with a gloomy expression.
A long time later …
"Hmph!" Shi Jiuyin's eyes were filled with disdain. "Cowardly as a mouse, the opportunity is fleeting, it'll be gone if you miss it."
"Who knows if Houtu is telling the truth? Maybe the Witch Emperor didn't say so, or maybe he's just making up a rumor." Shi Jiuyin sneered, "Maybe he's resentful, unwilling to accept me as the Witch Emperor, and is thinking of ways to frame me. If I let the demonic beast army leave, my reputation will be ruined. I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River."
"The so-called message is unclear, even if he denies it, I can't do anything to him."
"There's no need to listen to his nonsense. Even if it's really the Witch Emperor's order, it doesn't matter. When a general is outside, the monarch's orders cannot be obeyed!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I must grab hold of it!"
Clenching his fists, Shi Jiuyin's eyes shone with determination.
Want him to give up the meat at his mouth, give up the best chance to make a name for himself …
He wasn't willing!

The war between the shamans and demonic beasts was in full swing.
On the other side, the Southern Region was also buzzing with activity.
A new broom sweeps clean, Lin Xiaotian was very clear about his identity and status. He also knew that Lin Feng had paved the way for him. Since that was the case, he had to strike while the iron was hot to secure his position. He didn't want to rely on Lin Feng's help every time. It was fine once in a while, but in the long run, it would affect the hearts of the people.
First, stabilize the internal situation, then deal with the external situation.
The policy of seclusion and locking the domain remained unchanged, but Lin Xiaotian put the 'selection' plan on the table.
Different from the God Creation Plan that Lin Feng had secretly selected, Lin Xiaotian's plan was more similar to Emperor Yao's plan when he was alive. Starting from the foundation, starting from the bloodline, the difference was that with the support of Lin Feng's resources, the level of the plan was different.
Covering the entire Southern Region!
It could be said that this was a subversive plan.
The entire region would be divided into different levels to select the elites and test their aptitude. As long as the cultivators had the aptitude, they would be carefully nurtured, and there would be no mistakes. Various levels of martial dojos would be established, a perfect system would be set up, and the citizens would be divided into different levels. Poor cultivators would be given relief, and the peace of the entire region would be maintained.
Buying the hearts of the people from top to bottom, and establishing a perfect legal system. For a time, the entire Southern Region was shaken.
Of course, there were more people who applauded. After all, the majority of the people were at the bottom of society. The series of measures could be said to be spending money like flowing water. In an instant, the state treasury's wealth poured out like a flood, but Lin Xiaotian was not reluctant at all. In fact, Lin Feng was even more indifferent. He had long 'regarded money as dirt'.
Money?
Lin Feng had too much.
In Lin Xiaotian's opinion, this was just establishing a cycle. If it was used for the people, it would definitely be taken from the people in the future. The more willing he was, the brighter the future of the Southern Region. Lin Feng naturally allowed his father to implement the new policies. He believed in his father's ability and believed that the Southern Region would become better and better under his leadership.
Most importantly …
Therefore, he was free.
…
In the Imperial Garden.
Lin Feng was completely at ease.
With two Deputy Region Masters, there was no need to worry about anything else. His father was in charge of internal affairs, and Shun was in charge of external affairs. The division of labor was clear, and he … mainly focused on cultivation. Just like in the Kingdom of Maru, there was no need to explain how important a leader with absolute power was.
What would happen to the Witch Emperor Jiang if the Witch Race did not have him? What would happen to the Demon Race if they did not have a Great Sage?
In the Dou Ling World, the strong were respected.
Heavenly Spirit was strong and was only stronger than the Witch Race and the Demon Race. Why could they only hibernate? One of the reasons was that it was difficult for the various neutral races to integrate. Another reason was that Heavenly Spirit did not have a real powerhouse who could convince the masses and stand out. He was comparable to the Witch Emperor Jiang and the Great Sage.
In the secret chamber.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged with a serious expression.
In front of him, there was a treasure that all powerhouses dreamed of — the Earth Pillar.
It was one of the three Heavenly Treasures.
"My main body already has the Shield of Truth. It's enough."
"In addition, the Earth Pillar seems to be used by a Heavenly Warrior. My main body mainly cultivates the Heavenly God lineage. It's not suitable."
"I should make the best use of it."
…
Lin Feng muttered softly.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to cooperate with the Earth Pillar.
Even though this Heavenly Treasure was quite "fierce", and even a supreme existence like the Great Sage was accidentally devoured by it, one could imagine how dangerous the Earth Pillar was. However, there was always danger. If he wanted to quickly increase his strength, how could he not take some risks?
And the Earth Pillar was definitely the best choice.
"The strength of my doppelganger is now inferior to my main body. It's only at the level of a Demonic Emperor."
"If I want to improve further and surpass my main body to compete with Witch Emperor Jiang and the Gray Great Sage, I can only rely on 'him'." Lin Feng's gaze was deep. He knew very well how powerful a Heavenly Treasure was. After Witch Emperor Jiang merged with the Heavenly Arc, his strength more than doubled. After the Great Sage merged with the Earth Pillar, he was also reborn. Of course, the backlash after merging with the Earth Pillar was not included.
And he believed that there would be no problem either!
However, all of these were just his own thoughts.
It was easier said than done to cooperate with a Heavenly Treasure! If he wanted to forcefully merge with it like the Great Sage, let alone a year, with his strength, he might not be able to do it even after eight to ten years. He might even be devoured by the weapon spirit that devoured his master and lose his life.
Back then, when he merged with the Shield of Truth, it was a fusion of bloodlines. There was also a bit of luck involved.
However, if the Shield of Truth could do it, it did not mean that the Earth Pillar could.
Many times, one could not jump to conclusions.
"Whew …" After letting out a long breath, Lin Feng's slightly confused eyes slowly lit up.
Whether it was possible or not, he would know once he tried!
"Earth Pillar." Lin Feng looked at the Earth Pillar in front of him that did not have any luster. He was indeed a little afraid. However, since he had made a decision, there was no need to hesitate. First, he would see if he had fate with this Heavenly Treasure. If he did, it would be like the Shield of Truth. Once he touched it —
Immediately!
"Can I have it?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
With a hint of anticipation and complicated emotions, Lin Feng slowly extended his right hand.
…
