This time, Zhao Fu obtained 45 billion people and 80,000 Cities. Because of the Heavenly Domain Boundary, most of the people and Cities had not been lost.
Now, the Qin Kingdom had 370 billion people, which was a shocking number. It also had 520,000 Cities, but it was a pity that City Lord Seals could not be used. Otherwise, 520,000 City Lords would be enough to sweep through everything.
After leaving behind a portion of the soldiers to continue clearing out the Corpse Pall World and obtaining full control, Zhao Fu led his army back to the Qin Kingdom.
Zhao Fu obtained the seven keys. These keys were quite strange; they were 30 centimeters long and were gray. They seemed to be made of iron, and there were divine beasts engraved on them: a divine dragon, a black tortoise, a vermillion bird, a white tiger, a qilin, a taotie, and a qiongqi.
Zhao Fu did not know what they meant, and after returning to the Qin Kingdom, he wanted to open up a passageway to the Underworld and explore this historical remnant.
However, a piece of infuriating news spread out – the Aeolian Empire announced that the Half-Beast World, Grassi World, and Elf World belonged to the Aeolian Empire.
Because this involved two Empires and one world, the Aeolian Empire was more courteous and only told them to leave. They did not tell them to scram like before and were incredibly arrogant and domineering.
Of the three Half-Beast Worlds, the Qin Kingdom occupied four, the Fishman World occupied one, and the Devil Horn Empire occupied the rest. Moreover, the Qin Empire and Devil Horn Empire were the two most powerful factions here, and the Aeolian Empire was quite wary of these two factions.
After destroying these two Empires, the Aeolian Empire would definitely suffer heavy losses. Moreover, the Aeolian Empire had enemies, so it could not mobilize all of its forces here.
However, as a Royal Kingdom in the inner regions, they had the confidence and power to directly pressure the Devil Horn Empire and Qin Empire to leave, in order to avoid unnecessary battles and losses.
The three worlds did not have any people or Cities at all, and they were like three empty shells. Because there were often chaos, no one moved their people or Cities over.
Some of the people of the three worlds had escaped to other worlds, some had been absorbed by the Qin Empire, and some had submitted to the Devil Horn Empire.
However, even though the three worlds had become empty shells, conquering them would still bring a large amount of Fate. However, the Aeolian Empire took them without any intention of negotiating. It did not place the two Empires in its eyes at all and domineeringly declared them to be its.
This was the most infuriating thing – it was not the Qin Kingdom's side that was angry, but the Qin 'side was furious. The Devil Empire was the most. The Devil Horn Empire had conquered the most Continents and had suffered the greatest losses.
This was especially so now that Great Qin had conquered the Corpse Pall World. It now had five worlds, while the Devil Horn Empire only had three. If it lost so many Continents, the Devil Horn Empire would be evidently weaker than Great Qin.
Right now, the crux of the matter was not whether or not they could give it to him, but that the other party was determined to obtain it. Against a Kingdom from the Inner Regions, neither of the two Empires was a match for it.
Yao Ming tried to contact the Outer Domain Royal Kingdoms that supported the Devil Horn Empire, but none of them supported. After all, it would be very difficult for them to defend against an inner Domain Royal Kingdom, so there was no need for them to pay such a heavy price for someone else.
Zhao Fu tried to contact the various factions, but the outcome was the same. No one was willing to help, and Zhao Fu sent this news to the inner Domains, hoping that some factions hostile to the Aeolian Empire would do something.
However, the outcome was disappointing. Even though they already knew about this, they did not do anything. As expected, they could not rely on anyone.
The Aeolian Empire gave them three days. Within these three days, the people of the three worlds had to evacuate, or else the Aeolian Empire would attack.
Seeing that they could not protect so many Continents, Yao Ming could only hope for some benefits, such as having the Aeolian Empire attack the Qin Empire or helping the Devil Horn Empire conquer another world.
However, the Aeolian Empire bluntly refused and did not give the Devil Horn Empire any face. They were a Royal Kingdom from the inner Domains and did not place the Devil Horn Empire in their eyes at all. How could they agree to the Devil Horn Empire's request?
This was the attitude of the Aeolian Empire. If they did not give them what they wanted, they would take them by force and not try to negotiate with them.
This caused Yao Ming to explode in anger; he had rarely suffered such humiliation. If it was an ordinary world, he would have long since attacked at all costs.
However, in the end, the Devil Horn Empire still retreated because it was not as powerful as the Aeolian Empire. They could not go all-out against it.
The Qin Empire was the same, and they could only give up on four Continents. Fortunately, the four Continents were just empty shells, so their losses were not too great.
Zhao Fu felt quite angry about this. It had not been easy for him to obtain the Continents, and he was about to go. However, he was not as strong as the Devil Horn Empire, so he could only take a step back and gather his strength before taking revenge.
At the same time, Zhao Fu felt a massive pressure because the Aeolian Empire's goal could not be any more obvious. The Charm Devil World, the Half-Beast World, the Grassi World, and the Elf World were now four worlds.
Obtaining four worlds so easily made others feel jealous. The Aeolian Empire was now the strongest in this world, and its territory was ranked second. Adding on the Wind Spirit World, which was still within the barrier, it had five worlds, which was the same as the Qin Empire.
The Aeolian Empire would definitely act against the Qin Empire, so Zhao Fu had to quickly prepare a way to deal with the Aeolian Empire. Otherwise, it was possible that the Qin Empire would perish at the Aeolian Empire's hands.
Now, Zhao Fu had two choices: the first was to continue to obtain points in the Outer World to deal with the Aeolian Empire, or the second was to obtain precious treasures and items from the Underworld historical remnant.
Zhao Fu thought about it and decided that he did not need to personally oversee the Outer World, so he left it to Bai Xihan and the others to go out and clear out Insects every day. They would be able to obtain large amounts of points, and he would have some free time to go to the Underworld.
After making this decision, Zhao Fu did not hesitate and called over the Black and White Impermanences. They were from the Underworld, and bringing them would save him a lot of trouble.
The first thing to do was to open the Underworld Gate. Zhao Fu went to the place where the Ghost Soldiers were created. This place had become a special treasure ground and was connected to the Underworld. Large amounts of Underworld Yin Qi flowed out from here, and it was the most suitable place to open the Underworld Gate.
Zhao Fu did not know what he would encounter, so he carefully prepared various things.
The Black and White Impermanences were quite happy to be able to return to the Underworld. They came from the Underworld and had family and friends in the Underworld, so they naturally missed the Underworld greatly. They had come to the Qin Empire during the Ten Thousand Ghost Festival and had been there for seven or eight years.
