After Qin Yin left, Tully returned to Claude's side and said respectfully, "Lord Juggernaut, who is this powerful woman? Why … "
"Tully."
Claude said, "She is the Goddess of Grace, Qin Yin, also known as Xiyin. She is Xi Yan's younger sister and was once one of the Battle Angels of the Western Divine Realm. From what Xiyin said, Xi Yan and Eva have already begun to rebuild the Western Divine Realm. You are a god under the jurisdiction of the Western Divine Realm. Go … do your best for the Mahayana Heavenly Dao and the world. This is something you must do as the Summer Goddess. You are still young and have a long way to go. Work hard and you may be able to reach Xiyin's level."
"Lord Juggernaut, I … Can I really do it?"
"Mm, rest for a night and ascend tomorrow morning. I believe that Xi Yan and Eva are waiting for you, the Summer Goddess."
"Yes, I understand!"
After Tully left, an old man in a black robe appeared behind Claude and said, "Juggernaut, are you really going to hand over the Western Divine Realm to the two traitors, Xi Yan and Eva?"
"What else can I do?"
Claude let out a bitter laugh. "The era that belonged to me has already passed. I will accept my fate. Furthermore … I also hope that the Western God Realm can rise and prosper once more … Elder Kate, do you still remember when I was young? I once swore to become a great seraph and bring glory to the Western Divine Realm … After so many years, it seems that these vows have long been forgotten. It was only when I lost my power and everything that I remembered my promise. I don't want … I don't want to get myself involved in that endless abyss again. "
Elder Kate smiled faintly and said, "Maybe you're right. Everyone has their own ambitions. Fine, let's see what Xi Yan and Eva can do!"
"Don't worry. Since Xiyin is already in the Western Divine Realm helping Xi Yan find the Luminous Primordial Stone, it means that Tang Xiaoxi, who is almost inseparable from Xiyin, is also in the Western Divine Realm. Perhaps the legendary Martial God Lin Muyu is also working for the Western Divine Realm. Xi Yan will do it. She will do everything that I want to do but am unable to do …"
Elder Kate: "…"
A shooting star streaked across the sky and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye. Humans were like this, and so were gods. The only thing that never changed was the universe. The only difference between humans and gods was the length of their lifespans. However, in the vast river of time, their lifespans were as short as a firefly's beam or a small boat's leaf.
…
In the Shattered Cauldron Realm, the spirits of all living things were gradually recovering. In the forest, an old man sat quietly on a flat rock. Around him were the sounds of deer chirping and wild apples eating … Wisps of spiritual light lingered around him. The old man's hair and beard had long turned white, but his face was still very ruddy. The Dragon Bone Staff in his hand was glowing faintly.
Swoosh!
A golden light fell from the sky and landed on him. He didn't even need to think to know what had happened. At that moment, he had an insight into the laws and the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao.
Around him, the barren grassland began to recover. The grass and leaves grew at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of a few miles had become a lush forest. It was very different from the early spring scenery in other regions.
This was the power of recovery, and it was also the power that Qu Chu was about to obtain.
Clang!
There was a muffled sound of thunder in the sky. The Heavenly Melody Scroll slowly unfolded, and Qu Chu's name was clearly written on it. Goddess Nuwa's Dharmakaya appeared in the sky and said in an extremely calm voice, "Qu Chu, you have distanced yourself from disputes and have compassion for all living things. You have obtained the approval of the Heavenly Melody Scroll of the Mahayana Heavenly Dao. Today, I will bestow upon you the Dharmakaya of a first-tier Middle God. You will be titled as the God of Recovery and will be bestowed with the power of recovery. I hope that you will inherit the Heavenly Dao and protect the Mahayana Heavenly Dao for all living things in the world!"
Swoosh!
A huge golden figure seeped into Qu Chu's body. That was his Dharmakaya. In the blink of an eye, Qu Chu seemed to have become much younger. His hair had turned white, and his face was rosier. He said joyfully, "Thank you, Goddess, for bestowing this Dharmakaya. Qu Chu will do his best to subdue demons and devils for all living things!"
Goddess Nuwa's figure slowly faded away. Qu Chu stood up and looked at the animals gathering around him. He smiled and said, "All of you, go and start your new life. It's time for me to leave. The Heaven Realm needs the strength of this old bag of bones."
The deer, rabbits, and other animals seemed to understand Qu Chu's words and dispersed one after another. Qu Chu took a deep breath and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
…
Tianji City.
Amidst the pavilions, a handsome man looked up at the sky and said, "Another one who has ascended to become a god … It's Qu Chu. Even Qu Chu has ascended. We, the younger generation, are still idling around here waiting to die …"
"Prince Xin, what are you saying?!" Lin Xun smiled and said, "Qu Chu's name has long spread across the world. It's only a matter of time before he gets his Dharmakaya. Moreover, we're not idling around here waiting to die!"
Feng Jixing smiled and said, "Zhang Wei, how's the military situation at the eastern battlefield?"
Zhang Wei cupped his fists and said, "There's not much resistance at all. After Chen Yu's henchmen were wiped out, basically all the provincial governors of the Celestial Empire surrendered at the mere sight of us. They don't dare to resist the cavalry of our Imperial Guards at all."
"That's within expectations."
Feng Jixing's lips curled up and he said, "We must pacify the entire realm within a month. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we don't need a month. Half a month will do."
At the side, Guan Xing cupped his fists and said, "Prince Xin, I have something to say."
"Mister, please speak."
"After discussion, the congress decided to establish two great congresses two days ago. After the vote, Guo Huaili will be appointed as the chief of the Lanyan City Imperial Congress, ruling over the entire Shattered Cauldron Realm. Meanwhile, the deputy chief, Jiang Qi, will rush to the Celestial Pole Continent as soon as possible to take up the position of the chief steward of the Celestial Pole Continent's Congress, taking charge of all the political affairs in the Celestial Pole Continent."
Feng Jixing furrowed his brows and sat down on the railing, remaining silent.
Zhang Wei said, "This so-called Congress is just creating trouble. Before Her Highness Ying left, she clearly said that all the important military and political affairs in the Celestial Pole Continent will be managed by Prince Xin alone. Why is this Jiang Qi creating trouble again?"
Feng Jixing nodded and said, "The fourth clause of the Empire's constitution states that all the political affairs shall be managed by the congress. It's within expectations that they'll send Jiang Qi to take charge of the political affairs. It seems that it's just as Yu said. Guo Huaili, that old fox, is already taking charge of all the political affairs in the world."
Lin Xun's gaze was filled with killing intent. "Why don't … I send someone to the Shattered Cauldron Realm to kill Guo Huaili?"
"No."
Feng Jixing waved his hand and said, "Now that the world is stable, the commoners need a stable life. Guo Huaili has long been recognized by the commoners as the most capable subject in the world. If we were to get rid of Guo Huaili now, it'd mean that we'd become enemies with all the people in the world and become the criminal warlords that Yu spoke of. Let's just bear with it. It's fine as long as Guo Huaili doesn't go overboard. As for that Jiang Qi, if he wants to take charge of the political affairs in the Celestial Pole Continent, then let him do so. I'm happy to see Xiaoyao!"
"But …" Zhang Wei said, "Are we just going to let these vile people defecate and piss on our heads?"
Feng Jixing smiled. "If he really dares to defecate, then I'll help him support him … Zhang Wei, you old brat, remember this. Don't mess things up. It's easy to kill Guo Huaili, but once you kill one, a second Guo Huaili will soon appear. From the previous emperor until now, Jin Yifan, Tang Lan, Su Muyun, Zhuang Yan, and so on have appeared one after another. Which one of them isn't a person that no one dares to approach for a while? But now, where are they? There'll always be someone controlling the political affairs, and we can't kill them all. What we can do now is to respect him a little, and he has to respect us a little. "
"I understand."
"Oh right, is there any news from Lanyan City? Are Chu Yao, Wei Chou, and the others alright? "
"They've arrived at Lanyan City safely." Guan Xing smiled. "Don't worry about that. Great Deacon Chu Yao is the person in charge of the Spiritual Medicine Department, and she's protected by the Dragon League experts. Lord Wei Chou is the commander of the Longdan Army Camp, known as the commander with the strongest military force. Guo Huaili wouldn't dare to touch the Longdan Army Camp even if he had ten thousand guts."
"Yes, that's right …" Feng Jixing nodded.
Times had changed. Back then, Zhuang Yan dared to act like a tyrant because he had 700,000 soldiers and had internal and external troubles. But now it was different. The world was stable, and the Longdan Army Camp was the strongest army in the world. 200,000 soldiers guarded Lanyan City all year round, serving as the imperial guards and imperial guards. It could be said that Wei Chou controlled the military affairs of the entire Shattered Tripod Realm single-handedly, and he also had the support of famous generals such as Ding Xi and Tang Zhen. Guo Huaili could at most be in charge of political affairs, but he definitely couldn't be in charge of military affairs.
Lin Xun suddenly coughed and said, "General Feng, have you agreed to Miss Si Kongyao's matchmaking for you?"
"What, what did you say …" Feng Jixing was dumbfounded.
Lin Xun said, "That … it's the Empire's Shang League's Shang Qian. Miss Si Kongyao said that as long as you give the word, she'll go and lobby for you. Shang Qian is also single now. She's pretty and rich. If I were you, I'd marry her."
"Marry your granny …" Feng Jixing said, "I can do whatever I want to do happily and freely by myself. Why do I have to marry a wife and have her manage me? You guys are still too young … Moreover, Shang Qian isn't my type. "
"Then … What type does Your Highness like?"
"Someone with a good disposition, a pretty face, big breasts, a good figure, a good temper, understanding, not clingy, and not mischievous. What do you guys have to introduce?"
Zhang Wei grinned. "Drunken Cloud Brothel's Little Lianxiang …"
"Alright." Feng Jixing clapped his hands and smiled. "Settle all the military affairs before dinner and then go."
"Yes, Your Highness is wise!"
Guan Xing was speechless. He said in a low voice, "How are they going to ascend to the Mahayana Heavenly Way if they're like this …"
…
Another night had fallen in the Eternal Sword Domain.
This time around, they did not stay in the mountains. After all, it was too dangerous. Lin Muyu, Lia, and Zhang Wei stayed in a tavern. This kind of tavern was protected by thick stone walls. It was like an ancient castle that could withstand the invasion of demons. It was a place that travelers often stayed in. However, the fees were very high. A single person did not need to pay for a night, but they had to pay 15 jin of food.
In the Eternal Sword Domain, food was money, and it was even more useful than gold coins. Lin Muyu paid the price of two bear legs to stay in the tavern. It was already a blessing from the heavens to be able to spend the night in peace.
