Chapter 2144: Chapter 2090–2091: Great Ming’s Response, Complex Situation
“No, the Fire Virtue Star Lord has completely reclaimed his Divine Soul back. What a terrifying aura; evolving through the reincarnation of countless centuries, each incarnation is the founder of the Fire Dao. What a terrifying and unparalleled aura!”
A startled voice rang out in the Heavenly Court; it was the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor’s twin eyes stared into the depths of the void, and his originally languid form suddenly stood upright, his gaze uncertain, as if he had realized something beyond his expectations.
He knew better than anyone that what the other party gathered was not only the brilliance of the Fire Dao and the civilization of the Fire Dao but also the Human Dao Dragon Qi. Hence, there is one more contender for the position of Emperor of Heaven.
Initially, regardless of the imposing presence of the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the Jade Emperor did not truly regard him seriously. Even if the Fire Virtue Star Lord harbored thoughts of further enhancing his own rank, it did not affect the Jade Emperor.
The Fire Virtue Star Lord belongs to the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Court and is also among the stars of the Great Emperor Ziwei. Even if he becomes the Fire Emperor, this rank first affects the Great Emperor Ziwei and is still far from the position of the Jade Emperor.
However, when he himself gathered a myriad of fires and still grouped so much Human Dao Dragon Qi gathered through countless incarnations, this posed a slight threat to the Jade Emperor. At least at this moment, the Fire Virtue Star Lord has the qualification to compete for the position of Emperor of Heaven.
Sometimes, whether one has the qualification for something can make a world of difference.
In any case, the Jade Emperor dare not slacken at all; now the name of the Fire Virtue Star Lord is added among his rivals.
……
On the Divine Land Continent, the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom occupied the Northern Border, its might overwhelming and its influence vast, inciting the wrath of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s Divine Lord, who dispatched the current Minister of War of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty to personally lead the army to address the matter.
The entire Great Ming Divine Dynasty began to rise with turbulence, knowing that the loss of troops in the Northern Border doesn’t matter to the resource-rich Great Ming Divine Dynasty, but the loss of several counties and prefectures in the Northern Border greatly influences the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
The Great Yu Imperial Kingdom originally blocked the path of northward expansion for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. They spent countless years and numerous campaigns, incessantly eroding to weaken the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom in anticipation of the final blow to annihilate them and completely open the path to northward expansion.
This time, losing the Northern Border is tantamount to the failure of accumulation over a millennium, and retrieving the lost ground enhances the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom’s strength further. Moreover, with the backing of Witch Deity Teaching, if they ascend to the Divine Dynasty, they will become a tremendously troublesome adversary for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
This loss of Northern Border undeniably angered the Great Ming Divine Lord, and the entire Great Ming Court became furious. Even the True Immortal of the Jade Emperor Lineage in the Heavenly Court was somewhat displeased.
Therefore, regardless of the approach, or the plans ahead, under this current circumstance, quickly reclaiming the lost Northern Border is paramount for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
This is not merely a matter concerning the reputation of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, but also relates to their forthcoming strategic arrangement. If this Northern Border cannot be reclaimed swiftly, as time prolongs and allows the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom to assimilate the Northern Border, the future adversaries they face will grow stronger.
Thus, as the decree from the Great Ming Divine Lord was issued, following the command, the Minister of War rapidly gathered numerous capable individuals, selected leaders and commanders from the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, began picking personnel, and invited powerhouses to march forth, preparing to reclaim the Northern Border.
Moreover, they now face not only the powerhouses of the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom but also the strong individuals of Witch Deity Teaching. The Great Ming Divine Dynasty seeks to amass more power. Without achieving victory in one battle, it would indeed result in a loss of face.
After all, losing it the first time can be justified by claiming Duke Dingguo led the forces away, and the other’s sneak attack caught them off guard.
But should they fail to reclaim the Northern Border after regrouping and preparing for battle, it would indeed indicate a lack of strength, leading others to ridicule and deem the Great Ming Divine Dynasty outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
At the same time, within the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom, upon learning of their offensive, the Great Yu Sovereign immediately turned his gaze forward, ordered the commencement of a morning meeting, gathered numerous civil and military officials of the Great Yu Imperial Kingdom, and looked profoundly at the many courtiers.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Many courtiers split into two sides and paid homage to the Great Yu Sovereign before sitting in their respective seats, quietly awaiting the directives of the Great Yu Sovereign.
This transcendent world is undoubtedly different from ordinary mortal beings; the civil officials and military generals of an imperial kingdom are not mortal, even amidst the distinction of ruler and subjects, truly ignoring the opponent’s strength is impossible, they must be granted sufficient respect, for there are their seats of honor on the court.
“Did none of our Taoist Friends from Witch Deity Teaching come? Send someone to invite them here. As the enemy approaches the Northern Border, this is merely a reconnaissance officer upfront. Since they want to obtain benefits, they must mobilize some power. Please come and discuss this matter together.” The Great Yu Sovereign’s gaze swept down but found no strong individuals from Witch Deity Teaching, his eyes suddenly changed, he said in a deep voice.
Although promised collaboration with Witch Deity Teaching, having reached an agreement between both parties, given enough benefits in times of crisis, Witch Deity Teaching must not stand idly by and must exert effort.
…
