Chapter 833 Bad Woman

On the battlefield, countless lives were lost.

The battle in the sky is about to be decided.

When beings of the Galactic Empire ascend to the Legendary level, they can create their own unique dimensional fragments, typically the size of a city, to store resources, raise servants, and protect their kin.

Upon reaching the pinnacle of legend, the sturdiness and size of the dimensional fragments will be further enhanced, evolving into a "personal demiplane," as large as a county. The holder can draw upon the elements of heaven and earth within it for their own use, and the demiplane can also absorb damage for the holder.

The process of becoming a ruler continues until a being is qualified to steal the entire external world, thus completing its personal dimension.

In the legendary era, peak beings were equally overwhelming to lower beings, with a qualitative difference in both damage taken by demiplanes and energy endurance.

The reason why the beings of the mythological era are high above is because their planes are completely formed in terms of their outer shells, lacking only the most crucial rules of heaven and earth. When they take action, their planes/worlds are empowered with authority, which is called "divine authority," and their power far exceeds authority and power.

When Duke Baiyuan used a dimensional fragment to shield himself from a deadly legendary spell, everyone knew that the final outcome of this battle was already the victory of Duke Longblood.

"Following ancient traditions."

"Get your family ready to pay the ransom!"

The Dragonblood Duke laughed wildly. Despite being covered in blood, his fighting spirit was high. In his left hand, he gripped a dark mass, which was none other than the legendary magic, Shattered Stone Dark Current. In his right hand, he wielded a greatsword as black as night. As a magic swordsman, he could temporarily convert his battle aura into magic power.

Duke Baiyuan was somewhat unwilling, but he had indeed reached his limit and was even about to perish.

"Your Highness, please make a move."

"As I expected, you are not worthy of my trust."

Amidst the dust-like fragments of space, a majestic figure stood tall in the sky, wearing a crown of thorns and a noble robe covered in barbs. It was none other than the strongest being of the Thorn Kingdom—Turnat.

Legendary elites are present.

The entire battlefield seemed to fall silent.

On the Dragonblood Territory side, more than one hero fled on the spot, and the previously stalemate in the battle suddenly collapsed.

The Thorn King said coldly, "Dragon Blood, give me a reason not to kill you. A stubborn fellow like you couldn't possibly be obeying that little emperor because you've gone mad. Does a little girl really have the determination to carry out a complete change? Heh."

The empire is far away, and the relationship between the Imperial Hand and the Divine Servant is extremely hostile. This transformation is not insurmountable.

Moreover, the Hand of the Empire may not actually be that loyal.

With the royal family almost wiped out and the matter shrouded in mystery, Princess Cecilia, a legendary figure skilled at escaping, is difficult to control. The imperial hand placed the current young emperor on the throne, perhaps intending to wait until he came of age and then use marriage to seize supreme power.

The so-called reform is nothing more than a preemptive strike to purge the supporters of the old royal family's legitimacy.

The King of Thorns didn't believe it; a duke couldn't see through such a thing.

The Dragonblood nobles were fleeing, and the territorial army was collapsing, but the Dragonblood Duke showed no panic. He simply spoke in an almost pitying tone:
"You are fortunate to soon have an audience with the gods."

"He really's gone mad." Thorn shook his head and chuckled.

The next moment, the world fell silent.

At the edge of the battlefield, Frisis felt a chilling wave rise up, and then his expression froze on his face.

The clouds stopped flowing, and the flames of war froze.

The relentless deaths on the battlefield came to an end.

The jade world, flowing endlessly through countless years, paused for Jiang He at this moment.

—The Final Time Ring: The Silver World.

This is a world-class time stop lasting five seconds.

Wow!
A golden path of light pierced into the sky, and Jiang He walked on the light, arriving in front of the Thorn King.

A Holy Spirit-level straight kick was delivered, shattering the body beneath the Thorn King's head into dust. The sinful poison, at the sub-mythical level, annihilated the soul, which was then refined by the "Resurrection Flag" before being obliterated.

"Unfortunately, the Silver World only happens once a day."

Jiang He took the head and examined it closely. He wasn't very interested in the corpses of ordinary or elite legendary figures these days, but he could collect the head as a work of art.

Five seconds passed, and everything returned to normal.

Jiang He even had time to seduce Duke Bai Yuan.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Francis's forehead; he was probably the only one on the entire battlefield who had vaguely noticed the strangeness that had just occurred.

"Time! He has actually controlled time!"

Francis was practically roaring inside. He didn't know why the other party was so openly displaying the power of time. After all, no one could ignore such a powerful force. But no matter what, easily killing a legendary elite was definitely the mark of peak strength.

Francis Chickman.

"Rhine Alexei".

Jiang He did not refuse the chairman's invitation to shake hands, and the two formally introduced themselves to each other in an equal manner.

Francis smiled and said, "A 30/70 split is a very reasonable allocation for Your Excellency's Rainbow Bridge project. I will handle the minor issues regarding the Rhine Jewelry Company, but you will have to be careful with Artur Alexei yourself."

"When you have time, I'll arrange for your niece to meet you."

Jiang He understood.

The royal trade patent license truly did not come out of thin air.

Jiang He calmly replied, "I'm looking forward to it."

Francis carefully examined the other person's expression, and after confirming that it wasn't sarcasm, he chuckled and said, "You won't be disappointed."

Jiang He had no reservations about arranged marriages. If he could ascend directly to the Mythical Realm and be married into one of ten thousand families, he would have no complaints. In this respect, Lustful Half-Body was definitely not the one who would gain an advantage.

Jiang He swung a palm at the battlefield.

Among the White Mandarin Duck's forces, there were 27,000 warriors and nearly 10,000 mages. One-third of them were instantly beheaded. The process was random. The decapitation technique, which reversed the status of the head, not only severed the body but also the soul.

"President, what's wrong with you?"

"Where's the vice president's head?!"

"War, didn't you say you would lead us to the pinnacle?"

The Duke of Night, his three main forces, and more than twenty core players were all wiped out. Only then did some heroes realize that the Thorn King had vanished without a trace.

"Dragon Blood, White Mandarin Duck, clean up the battlefield."

"clear."

In Jiang He's hand, the Rejuvenation Flag, a sub-mythical level treasure, fluttered in the wind. Souls from the battlefield flew over to refine it before their demise. He transferred the space of this flag to Lao Hei. Lao Hei's capacity was far from enough to control a sub-mythical item, but fundamentally, he was the one bearing the pressure of the Rejuvenation Flag.

When Lao Hei activated it, it was actually Jiang He who was making a move from a distance.

……

August 18, 10798 in the Imperial Calendar.

The Battle of Dragonblood Plains has ended.

With the Thorn King missing, the Dragonblood Duke and the White Mandarin Duck Duke made peace and divided the western half of the Thorn Kingdom, including the capital Thorn City. However, the two dukes in the east refused to surrender and instead sided with the Blackrock Kingdom.

The Thorn Kingdom was renamed the Dragon Blood Kingdom.

Dragonblood City will become the new capital.

Thanks to the Dragonblood King's strong support for the imperial policies, the imperial court strictly prohibited the Blackrock Kingdom and the White Oak Kingdom from sending troops, and the situation temporarily stabilized.

The Dragonblood Kingdom fully implemented the new policies and established the Dragonblood Guard to enforce the new laws within its borders. This guard consisted of one hundred elite heroes who had never appeared before, and on the day of its establishment, it imprisoned more than 30,000 people in the Surat Prison.

In a sense, the expeditionary fleet had already completed its transformation from a trading post to a military and political entity.

at the same time.

The undercurrents around Tianhuo Star have also completely subsided.

An unprecedented and shocking news broke—the president was assassinated while giving a speech at Congress. The heinous nature of the incident sparked large-scale protests across the planet Tianhuo. According to the court's investigation, the murderer was a cursed sub-mythological magician.

Unfortunately, even with the Imperial Court's Grand Inquisitor's personal prophecy, the specific culprit was still not found, highlighting the exceptional effectiveness of the Sin Hunter profession.

Mythical Prophet? Is the Grand Judge a Worthy Title?

"The Conspiracy of the Four Pillars of Destiny: Pay Attention to the Insect Swarm!"

Lord Tianhuo makes a public appearance, demanding severe punishment for the murderer!

For a time, the entire main star was in turmoil.

Chairman Frisis is acting as president, and the entertainment industry is ordered to undergo reforms, resulting in dozens of popular stars being exposed for tax and private life issues. The president's personal medical team is thoroughly investigated, which in turn affects the entire medical industry. Among these issues, false rumors about Rhine Jewelry Company have led to the imprisonment of more than a dozen experts.

The president's assassination affected the entire Tianhuo Star Cluster.

Niatburg.

Niat and Atu sat facing each other in silence.

The Secretary-General of Family Affairs reported: "The Chairman of the Green Forest Consortium politely declined the invitations from the two gentlemen. He said that the atmosphere in various places is tense recently, and some excessive actions need an opportune moment."

"The chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said that Rhine Jewelry's financial statements are very good and there are no other problems. He said he couldn't help with the delisting..."

Atu waved his hand to interrupt the report, and sneered, "How dare they? A mere chairman and a securities regulator, how dare they do this? It seems that Rhein Alexei has found a powerful backer."

Even ordinary planetary governors wouldn't confront the two major families. Those with such authority are extremely rare in Tianhuo Star; not counting Tianhuo King and the two sub-mythical beings, there are no more than five in total.

“Francis Chickman,” Nyat Jr. said in a deep voice.

A legendary peak being, a member of the Skyfire royal family, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and now also the acting president, as well as the Skyfire King's blood brother, he wields immense power and can single-handedly contend with the heads of two major families.

Atu's expression changed slightly.

As the head of the family and governor of Planet Three, it's normal for Little Niat to have better access to information than I do, but it's truly unbelievable that Francis would stand up for that family's scoundrel. "Francis, isn't he the one who hates the Gem Princess the most? I remember he once publicly said that the princess was ignorant and incompetent."

"how could I know."

Little Niat was a little annoyed. Francis initially supported the Jewel Princess to inherit the throne, but the princess went to become an idol singer, causing all his initial investment to go down the drain. It was normal for him to feel disgusted.

Currently, the first heir to the royal family is Princess Peacock, who has begun to take control of all affairs, including the royal family's largest underground organization, the Black Gloves. Because of her extremely bad relationship with Princess Gem, Francis's attempt to switch his support to her is difficult due to her past "dark history."

Little Nyat said, "I have already cooperated with Princess Peacock. The Quenching Pirates plan to secretly enter Emerald Star through smuggling channels, led by an ordinary legend, to ensure everything goes smoothly."

A regular legendary assassin at the peak has a 100% chance of winning.

Atul frowned. "Princess Gem is Rhein Alexei's fiancée."

“That’s why there’s room for cooperation with Princess Peacock.” Little Nyat sneered, “Besides, do you think legendary pirate crews are easy to find? Which of those legendary pirates doesn’t have a secret background? They’ll kill you and then silence you. If the Quenching Pirate Crew hadn’t been suspected of siding with the Pillar God, Princess Peacock wouldn’t have been willing to give them up.”

Just as the two were talking.

The Secretary General brought over the reports from Rhine Jewelry Company.

Tianhuo Bank acted as the sponsor, the second evaluation by the court's chaplaincy passed, and the accounting and law firms it hired previously belonged to the Duke's private fund. Rhine Jewellery's shares are now listed on the Tianhuo Stock Exchange for their initial public offering.

"My lords, the second batch of 1250 tons of gemstone ore from Rhine Jewelry arrived at Tianhuo Star this morning. At the same time, the native duke supported by the expeditionary fleet won the Battle of Dragonblood Plains yesterday and occupied half of the Thorn Kingdom. Rhine Group expects to raise a huge sum of money."

"Going public." Atu nearly crushed his teacup.

The first colonization discovered the only passage.

They found a super-large mineral deposit as soon as they arrived.

The Duke who supported the victory won a great triumph.

Chairman Francis gave his full support.

Amidst a flurry of rumors, the president was assassinated.

“It’s going too smoothly, so smoothly it’s terrifying.” Atu was lost in thought. “This is the first time I’ve felt so powerless. It feels like I’m fighting against the Duke.”

"He received the Mandate of Heaven?" Little Nyat said coldly, "Impossible. The Chosen One can only be a native of the planet. Besides, the Chosen One is nothing special, just a high-end commodity. We must find out his real backer!"

The room fell silent.

The two powerful figures remained silent for a long time, and Rhine Alexei's rise seemed unstoppable.

……

August 20, 10798 in the Imperial Calendar.

Rhine Jewelry's initial public offering has concluded.

By retaining 40% of the shares, Wuhe raised 78 billion Star Coins, and the jewelry subsidiary under the Rhine Interstellar Trade Group officially became a giant enterprise with hundreds of billions of Star Coins.

Beneath some false financial statements.

Wuhe spent 250 billion to buy fifty magic crystals of high-level poison-type magical beasts. The Great Scorpion Flower was already sold out, after all, the scorpion insect race that had fallen in the Great Scorpion Star Cluster in the last thousand years was not endless.

Another 400 billion Star Coins.

Wuhe purchased fifty Chaos Stones, a rare material left behind by the Chaos Champion upon his death. These stones can enhance Chaos energy and are relatively expensive.

With the remaining 130 billion Star Coins, besides maintaining the group's operations, Wuhe purchased two standard legendary battleships, nine hero cruisers, fifty gold destroyers, and two hundred and ninety silver frigates to appease external investors, preparing to build an Emerald Fleet led by the Saint Lilith, to be piloted by Evil Soldier and Dawn Intelligence.

As for the soldiers of the future Emerald Fleet, they will naturally be the native legion of Emerald Star.

"Boss, all 30,000 criminals from the Dragonblood Kingdom have been sold in the trading alley. The price of an ordinary slave is between 3000 and 10000 star coins, while the price of slaves of various levels of superhumans is equivalent to one-twelfth of the price of a warship. A total of 700 million star coins were sold. After the equity dividend, we kept 30%."

"Keep it for yourself, as pocket money for you and Aya."

"clear."

Emerald Star, Surat Port City.

Jiang He obtained cultivation resources from the Rainbow Bridge.

After complete digestion, the energy properties undergo a dramatic transformation.

[Hint: Sub-Mythical Sinful Poison LV50 → Mythical Sinful Poison LV1. You awaken the ultimate ability - Great Poison - deals 225% additional flesh and soul damage, and the Sinful Poison effect is enhanced by 125%]
Jiang He only saw the pure numerical values.

[Hint: Sub-Mythical Chaos Level LV1→LV50, Constant Ultimate Ability: Energy Annihilation]
The most terrifying aspect of Chaos is its ability to erode energy. All four pillar gods are rulers of the Chaos system. Taking the Chaos Champion as an example, he always has a huge advantage when facing a Legend of the same level.

[Occupation Development Progress: 3.8% (Joint Promotion Mission)]
[Hint: Main Quest ② has been released]
[Task Name: Capital Warrior]
[Task Requirement: Net worth reaches trillions]
[Quest Rewards: Sub-Mythical Level Skill Enhancement Scroll *1 / True Attribute Points *4 / Large Soul Crystal *4]
[Task Time Limit: 100 calendar days]
[Task Penalty: None]
[Note: The total value of the 10th consortium of the Tianhuo Star Group is 11.8 trillion, and the total value of the leading Tianhuo consortium is 220 trillion. A trillion is the threshold for super-enterprises in the Galactic Empire.]
The gemstone market has reached its peak at the hundreds of billions level, and it is difficult to see another period of explosive growth unless it is unified by the Tianhuo Star Group and merges the entire gemstone industry. Therefore, Rhine Jewelry's future development direction will mainly focus on derivative fields such as raw material gambling stones and art processing.

Old Hei arrived at the Surat administration building and delivered a report.

Jiang He signed a series of orders.

With Dragon Blood Kingdom as its raw material base, subsidiaries such as agricultural and livestock companies, textile companies, department stores, and tourism companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Shuguang Intelligent and its professional Shuguang talents have solved the problem of operating costs.

In just half a month.

With 700 million tons of spices produced by the Gluttony World arriving at Tianhuo Star, Rhine Interstellar Trading Company began to venture into two fields: edible spices and daily-use spices. The latter includes ancillary industries such as perfumes, cosmetics, and beverages, which have huge potential.

August 1, 10798 in the Imperial Calendar.

After three evaluations, the Rhine Interstellar Trading Group successfully went public, raising huge amounts of money from equity and profits from spices. Wuhe bought an entire building on Skyfire Avenue and five of the latest Holy Spirit-class battleships to deal with financial scrutiny from all sectors of society. Finally, he bought up all the Chaos Stones on the market.

Nevertheless, there is still 700 billion yuan in funds.

Jiang He's photo appeared in the annual issue of Tianhuo Newspaper, ranking him first among the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs of the year.

The total value of Rhine Star Group is estimated at 3200 billion, and it is constantly growing.

"Boss, I can't take it anymore."

"The funding gap is too large, and the economic investigation team from Tianhuo Bank has already moved into the Rhine Building."

"I'm going to jail!"

Jiang He heard Wu He's plea for help while in the Surat administrative building. Normally, the other party wouldn't bother him if they could handle it, and Tianhuo Bank had Francis's influence.

However, this economic investigation was mainly because the behavior of "Rhine Star Trade Group" was too ugly. The group was practically an empty shell, and more than half of its funds had disappeared. If Jiang He hadn't been in Emerald Star, he would have been taken to jail.

"Don't panic."

Jiang He used his special authority to turn a blind eye.

This time, the resistance is unprecedented.

The economic problems of Rhine Star Trade Company have attracted the attention of the entire Skyfire Society. There are countless legends and heroes involved. The influence on the minds of such a large number of beings is so great that "turning a blind eye" almost failed on the spot. Fortunately, it only made everyone overlook one thing. If you want to deeply interfere with the minds of a massive number of beings, only a ruler who specializes in this field can make it possible.

The power of the Wrathful Sin erupted, and the economic problems of the Rhine Interstellar Trade Group were thus ignored.

Jiang He had beads of sweat on his forehead and his eyes looked slightly tired.

He has done his best to achieve such an impact as a hero.

Jiang He digested the Chaos Stone.

[Hint: Sub-Mythical Chaos LV50 → Mythical Chaos LV1]
With both of Jiang He's energy properties reaching the mythical level, the balance of power between Jiang He and the peak of the legendary realm is quietly shifting.

"Use all 700 billion to buy Holy Spirit-class warships. First, upgrade the Holy Lilith to the Sub-Mythical level. Once the warships are in place, I'll go back for a visit."

"clear."

Suddenly, Jiang He received a message on his smart communicator.

"Someone's coming to kill you, hehe."

At the end of the message, there is also a small bird character.

"Want to know who it is? Hehe."

"These guys are not easy to deal with. Is the Dragonblood Duke willing to fight to the death for you? Hehe."

The three giggles are infuriating to watch.

Jiang He ignored him. In the entire Tianhuo Star Clan, unless the Tianhuo King himself intervened, no one could kill him. As for the Emperor or the Four Pillar Gods coming in person, that would depend on Lilith's abilities.

"Why don't you speak?"

"I'm reporting you for transferring over a hundred billion dollars. Although you're a big fraudster, you're quite capable, managing to get the economic investigation team to drop the case. Do you have connections with the judge?"

Jiang He narrowed his eyes, ignoring this guy was ineffective. Within the star cluster, there was either the Heavenly Fire King or an important figure whom the Heavenly Fire King was willing to protect at all times. Considering the Heavenly Fire King's single-minded pursuit of the Dao, the answer was obvious.

"The new president, or the heir to the throne."

The former is because the former president had just been assassinated, and it would be inappropriate for him to die again; the latter is justified.

Jiang He asked Frisis about the new president and was told that there was no candidate yet. Then she searched online for the royal heir and found that the current one was the seventeen-year-old Peacock Princess.

Suddenly, Jiang He's pupils contracted slightly.

In related searches, the songstress Doriya ranked first. The girl has beautiful long brown hair, gentle yet lively eyes, and a delicate and perfect face.

“Lilith!” Jiang He whispered.

“This isn’t my projection,” Lilith said.

"What happened to her?"

Without answering, Lilith began to feign death. Jiang He frowned deeply as he looked at Doriya's photo. No matter how beautiful she was, it was not surprising, but the fact that she looked exactly like Mirai Kamishiro was an impossible coincidence.

When he personally killed Mirai Kamishiro.

Jiang He confirmed that the person's soul and spirit had been destroyed, but at that time, there was indeed someone who possessed the power to switch the beams and pillars.

"You're getting more and more outrageous." Jiang He was slightly annoyed. If it weren't for Lilith saving his life in the Nine Provinces world, he would have broken ties with this wicked woman.
