Chapter 841 Kingdom War
August 20, 10798 in the Imperial Calendar.

The Tianhuo Star Cluster's Demon Dragon Star was destroyed by an unknown demonic species, resulting in the extinction of all living beings.

Against the backdrop of the Zerg Wars, the death of a powerful governor, though insufficient to be reported to the Imperial Court, caused a stir in the northern frontier, with some scholars even believing it to be a signal for war.

Unfortunately, the prophecy proved false, and the truth remained hidden behind layers of mystery, leaving the Northern Frontier Lords' Council with no clues.

Emerald Star, the nest capital of Surat.

At the top of the Nest City, in the Cloud Sea Garden, Jiang He lay half-reclined on a rattan chair, browsing the rankings and lists of the Emperor Dragon System.

Both the Authority of Power and the Authority of the Stars have been promoted.

His ranking among the top legends of the empire reached 1725th. Above him should all be "strong peak" and "unique skills", until the number one being the powerful life form - the Sword of the Empire.

"Any sub-mythical equipment or prop applicable to an individual costs no less than 3000 billion. Among them, space motherships and mechs should be even more expensive, but the cost has been reduced due to industrialized assembly lines."

Jiang He has his eye on the pure bloodline essence of some sub-mythical beings. This bloodline essence means the death of a sub-mythical being, but as long as he collects all twelve, his ability, King of Sin, can be the first to advance to the true mythical level.

Once something is associated with the word "myth," even with the prefix "Asian," its price still skyrockets.

"Roughly 50000 trillion in cash flow is needed."

The Rhine Star Trade Group currently has a total value of 48000 trillion yen, which includes a large number of fixed assets such as factories, shops, buildings, and land. Due to the large shortfall, it is difficult to cash out.

Meanwhile, the true financial situation of the Rhine Star Trade Group is far worse than it appears. The severe bubble in the stock market is secondary. The most important consolidation funds for a consortium in its initial stage have actually been largely converted into expensive cultivation resources. Without special authority to turn a blind eye, the Rhine Star Trade Group is a ticking time bomb.

"I have spared some attention for the Rainbow Bridge project, taking charge in my former knightly capacity. The project funds have been secured, and while the profits are steady, they are not enough to satisfy our thirst. We must find new sources of revenue."

"The slave trade was essentially an endless demand for cheap labor."

Jiang He's eyes were pitch black as he gazed inside the Nest City. The newly built 64 alchemy production lines were operating around the clock. The pinnacle technique of the Puppet Alchemy Myth, Living Alchemy, could turn a ton of steel into an Iron Man.

Iron Man's combat power can only suppress ordinary people, and his intelligence is low. However, he is a consumable with a very high cost-performance ratio. The cost of one ton of steel is 3000 star coins, and the current selling price of Iron Man is 10000 star coins, with a profit of over 300%. Rhine Star Trade strives to make it affordable for every citizen of Skyfire.

"I need more raw steel materials."

Jiang He signed the Nest Capital Order; the time was ripe to formally declare war on the Blackstone Kingdom and the White Oak Kingdom.

In the Cloud Sea Garden, on a banana leaf not far from the rattan chair.

Zhuang Ya awoke from her slumber, her silver-white dragon scales gleaming, her long black hair cascading down to her waist. Within her body, a personal demiplane was taking shape. Having devoured a massive number of her kind and encroached upon some space on the Demon Dragon Star, this demiplane was roughly the same size as the former Gluttony Paradise.

—A legendary being at the pinnacle of existence.

Gain permanent Legendary form, with all aspects boosted by 50%, and a 50% era total damage saving throw against lower-ranking creatures.

Zhuang Ya swallowed her own Myriad Laws Bodhisattva Fruit, and all the extraordinary factors in her body melted away one after another. This was an extremely rare and potent poison.

"Big snake."

Jiang He stood up and flashed over. The Gluttony Black Light completed its coverage before the extraordinary factor disappeared. He used the Myriad Laws Bodhisattva Fruit to "reset the character's points" and then reshaped it with the Great Sin of Gluttony. This was a rare opportunity to integrate his own system.

Holy Spirit level - the copying authority remains unchanged.

The true name of the dragon, the authority of the dragon and the authority of power are forged together into the Holy Spirit-level Dragon Authority. This will allow Zhuang Ya's true size to reach 100,000 miles. While retaining defense and power, his body length can circle the current planet.

Jiang He took out the mythical-grade material, the corpse of the ancient serpent god, which he had treasured for a long time. In the past, he would consume it little by little, but this time he would refine it all to serve as a source of extraordinary factors.

The abilities such as Slash Explosion, Petrifying Eye, and Mighty Mountain-Uprooting disappeared one after another, and together they evolved into a unique ability: Dragon Magic - Pale Dragon Breath. Due to the great help of the ancient serpent god's remains, this dragon magic reached the sub-mythological level.

The "Serpent Immortal Body" evolves into the sub-mythical level White Immortal form, providing massive stats and resistances in all aspects.

The Demon Race's innate ability, "Recovery of Energy," not only works on energy but also restores life, and it's now available once a day, no longer requiring the expenditure of a proportional amount of one's own energy or life.

The Nine True Sword Techniques have been iterated into the Nine Holy Spirit Level Dragon Sword Techniques, which originated from the Dragon Spear Techniques. The energy property, Poison, has been enhanced to the Holy Spirit Level Advanced Energy Property, Frost Poison LV1. He has digested all the medium-sized soul crystals produced in the Gluttony World recently, and his skill level has reached Sword Master LV50, on par with Si Ning.

"You actually have a tendency to evolve into a white dragon."

"However, Lilith's methods are very reliable, and there has never been any excessive signs of dragonification."

Jiang He combined the battle maid outfit and the five-dimensional ring, mixed them with the last remains of the ancient serpent god, and forged a holy spirit-level scale-shaped ring called "Heart of the Dragon".

"Ah."

Zhuang Ya watched as the other person put the ring on her finger, her eyes flickering slightly. If the giant snake were to propose, she would never refuse, no matter what.

"Alright, go have some fun."

Zhuang Ya: "..."

That tone is awful.

……

That evening.

The Dragonblood Kingdom declared war on both the Blackrock Kingdom and the White Oak Kingdom. The two kingdoms immediately united with more than a dozen small countries in the southern part of the Emerald Continent to form the Blackrock Alliance, led by the two kings, to fully resist the attack of the Dragonblood army.

7 month 21 day.

The five legendary dukes of the Dragonblood Kingdom, each leading twenty warrior legions, descended upon important cities of the Blackrock Kingdom, successively defeating their respective garrisons and attacking the Blackrock capital from five directions.

The allied forces were shaken, and the warrior and mage legions rushed to their aid.

June 7, afternoon.

The allied forces arrived at the Blackstone capital.

At the same time, the five dukes appeared in White Oak City, captured the kingdom's capital, slaughtered more than a thousand court nobles, looted gold, silver, jewels, weapons, scrolls, etc., with a total value of 700 billion star coins, and captured 160 million people.

King White Oak was furious and led his army to fight back.

7 month 24 day.

The small kingdoms of Salem, Mysore, Bangalore, and others were attacked, with over ten thousand nobles killed or wounded. The Blackrock Alliance disintegrated, and the kingdoms surrendered to the Dragonblood Kingdom. The White Oak King requested the Emerald Empire's intervention, and the Blackrock King headed straight for Surat's hive.

7 month 26 day.

The Blackrock King and his four dukes arrived at Surat's hive and then all disappeared.

The news drew attention from the empire.

The chief minister, the Imperial Hand, personally intervened to mediate the war. In accordance with the coordination policy that the Empire has always adhered to, a unified regime is never allowed to emerge in the southern part of the Empire.

7 month 27 day.

The King of White Oaks was assassinated.

The Dragonblood Kingdom occupied the southern part of the Emerald Continent, covering two-fifths of the empire's area. After seven days, the "Kingdom War" came to an end, and the Blackrock King was demoted to Grand Duke and regained his freedom.

……

Surat's Nest City.

Jiang He received the Hand of the Empire at the Cloud Sea Garden.

This was a middle-aged man with a withered face. As a giant who rose rapidly during the reign of the previous emperor, the Hand of the Empire had been in power for nearly a century. However, when he saw the white-clad girl beside the master of the Nest City, his pupils still couldn't help but shrink.

"who are you?"

It's hard to imagine that a legendary figure at the peak of his career would willingly become a maid.

"It's not important," Jiang He said calmly. "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll have time to work together in the future."

Zhuang Ya lowered her eyes, suppressing her murderous intent.

Unless the indigenous legends like the Hand of the Empire are courting death, there is no need for our side to kill them. The requirements of the joint advancement mission are occupation and development, the latter being equally important. And for the development level of a world, the level and number of the strongest beings are naturally of paramount importance.

In an instant.

The sky in the western part of the empire was dyed red, like the blood of hell.

The Imperial Hand paled; this was likely a sign of a demonic ritual, but its sheer scale was unprecedented, something he had never heard of before, and certainly never in the history of the Empire.

The western part of the empire is an endless desert.

The sky was filled with black spatial rifts, and gates like sand dunes emerged from them. Countless demons emerged, starting as bronze, gradually rising to gold and hero levels, and eventually even legendary demons appeared.

Behind the Demon Gate, the three Demon Grand Dukes spoke anxiously. Across from them lay a brand new world, filled with enticing aromas—a tremendous temptation for any demon race.

Unfortunately, the Emerald World will not allow three legendary peak-level demons to descend, and is intercepting them at any cost.

On the altar surrounded by countless demons.

The Knight of the Past, King of the Wild Hunt, stands with his hands behind his back.

Jiang He looked at the blonde girl's body before him with an unwavering gaze; the Peacock Princess's value was extraordinary.

The blonde girl trembled, horrified, and said, "What do you want? I've already given myself to you!"

On her first day back on Emerald Star, Princess Peacock offered herself to the emperor and in return, she secured a job as a gardener in the Cloud Sea Garden, where she could occasionally watch the sunset over the sea of ​​clouds.

Jiang He's expression remained calm.

In over a hundred different pleasures, he gradually realized the tedium of the activity, and recently he even grew tired of the Immortal Pig Body. From enthusiasm to perversion, and then to boredom, he even chose to let Pei Qinghan, who could be awakened, fall into a deep sleep.

"I have given up pornography."

Princess Peacock: "..."

You can just say whatever you dream about, right?

Before she could answer, the sacrificial ceremony began.

Compared to demons, the Tianhuo Star Clan, which once expanded on a large scale, is the greatest enemy of the Emerald World. Few beings can please the Emerald World more than the heir of the Tianhuo royal family.

Countless scars appeared on the peacock princess's body.

Life force flows with blood.

Jiang He watched the Peacock Princess die.

Although attempts to quit pornography will most likely end in failure, at least at this moment, he feels no regret. Whether to keep him in captivity or kill him depends solely on his own mood.

boom!
The altar and the girl exploded together.

The special authority of turning a blind eye largely concealed the threat of the demonic legion. The Emerald World favored the officiant of the ritual, allowing some inexplicable actions, and thus the Demon Gate was fully opened.

Three incredibly powerful auras descended.

Grand Duke of Bone Demon, Grand Duke of Flame Demon, Grand Duke of Succubus.

The three demon lords were all peak beings of the legendary era.

"A hero at the pinnacle of power is qualified to hold such a ceremony?"

"His taste seems a little off."

"How could she be born so strangely, with such allure..."

My thoughts stopped abruptly.

Because Jiang He disappeared from the spot.

Beelzebub, the Gluttonous King, King of Hell and Flies.

The unique title grants 65% true damage and damage immunity against demons, while the Hero Armor: Hell Lord further enhances this with a 30% special attack bonus against demons.

In short, Jiang He kills demons as easily as killing chickens.

boom!
A single punch shattered the body of the Bone Demon Grand Duke.

Just as the Flame Demon was about to make a move, a hand crushed his neck bones from behind, rendering his flame defense as fragile as paper.

The Succubus Grand Duchess flaunted her stunning beauty, but her alluring power was exempted from the title of "Succubus King." Jiang He kicked her chest, sending her flying thousands of miles away.

With two punches and a kick, all three dukes were on the verge of death.

Countless demons stared in disbelief, then bowed their heads in submission.

"From this day forward, you are my servants."

Jiang He turned to look into the distance at the attendants who were rushing from the direction of the capital. They probably didn't know what they were about to encounter. The only good news was that they were unlikely to die.

August 27, 10798 in the Imperial Calendar.

The demon army has descended upon the western part of Emerald Star.

As the Hand of the Empire moved south, the attendants immediately headed to the landing point, where they were besieged by four demon dukes and nearly perished on the spot, but managed to survive.

The news swept across the Emerald Continent, causing immense fear among countless living beings.

At the call of the Ganges Sword King, he signed the Emerald Alliance with the Hand of the Empire, the Divine Servant, and the Lord of the Nest City to jointly resist the Demon Legion. The Dragonblood Kingdom agreed to merge with the Empire and become the Southern Province, one of the Empire's five major provinces.

Meanwhile, in the capital, with the Imperial Hand and the Divine Attendant absent, the eldest princess launched a palace coup.

……

Jade Capital.

A giant city that has enjoyed a century of peace is engulfed in war tonight.

With the full support of the Ganges Sword King, most of the nobles defected, and a terrifying legion composed entirely of heroic elites, totaling 100,000 people, massacred the opponents, completely occupied the Imperial Palace, and took control of three sub-mythical level magic arrays.

The once magnificent imperial palace is now stained with blood.

The young emperor sat upright on the throne, trembling all over, yet refused to leave.

At the main entrance of the hall, a woman in a black dress arrived, surrounded by malevolent angels. Star-like fragments swirled around her, and ten snow-white fox tails swayed. Her every move exuded charm, but her exquisite and beautiful face was now filled with indifference.

"How dare you sit in my seat?"

Si Ning tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"Sister Wang!" the young emperor said angrily, "I trusted you so much, but now it seems that the rumors about the Hand of the Empire are no accident. You are a despicable person at heart."

The idea that the "Hand of the Empire" would gain legitimacy by marrying the young emperor is a claim that has many plausible aspects. This has led to the Emerald Family and the royalist camp gradually distancing themselves from the young emperor, since a bronze-level being surrounded by powerful figures would find it difficult to maintain autonomy.

"How can you speak to the Jade Queen like that?"

“Pull him down and lock him in the Emerald Tower.”
