Chapter 147 Oath
Every one of you here is a shrewd person. Whether it's Bibai Mountain or Golden Claw God, their attitude towards Chenzhou is definitely not as simple as the so-called successor!
But does it matter?
unimportant!
The important thing now is that I can't be the last to pledge my loyalty!
"Ma Yunzhang swears to serve the young master to the death!"
"Chai Ruiyuan swears to serve the young master to the death!"
"Cheng Luochen swears to serve the young master to the death!"
"."
Every Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, and even Soul Douluo-level powerhouse was now vying to submit to a boy who was only ten years old and had the cultivation of a Soul Venerable.
Because in their eyes, the boy was no longer a boy. How could the person on Noah's Ark, who could unleash a great flood and restore order, be a mere mortal?
What they saw was the creator of a new era, the leader of history, and the master of the future. Chen Zhou's existence had long surpassed their imagination, even their understanding of power. He was not only a genius, but also a miracle creator capable of turning the impossible into the possible.
Inside the hall, shouts echoed through the air, each name as resounding as a vow, each promise as passionate as blood. Their gazes were fixed on Chen Zhou, as if awaiting his response, his approval.
Chen Zhou stood in the center of the hall, his gaze calm as still water, yet carrying an indescribable air of authority. His figure appeared exceptionally tall in the dim light, like an unshakeable mountain, suppressing the minds of everyone present. His crimson-gold eyes swept over each of the kneeling dignitaries, a subtle, meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Gentlemen."
Chen Zhou's voice was clear and cold, yet carried an undeniable power: "I accept your loyalty."
"Heroes rise and fall with the times; let us step into a new future, a new world!"
"I, the governor, wish to strive together with you all!"
Chen Zhou's words struck like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears. His voice, though calm, carried an irresistible power, as if each word was deeply imprinted on their souls. The atmosphere in the hall instantly reached its peak, all eyes fixed on Chen Zhou, their eyes gleaming with fervor and awe.
Chen Zhou slowly raised his hand, his fingertips lightly flicking the strings of fate.
In an instant, the lights in the hall suddenly turned on, the dim yellow glow replaced by dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall as if it had been brought to life. Chen Zhou's figure appeared even taller in the light, like a god descended to earth, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
"Qiao Chengyun is deeply grateful for the grace of His Majesty and vows to repay His Majesty's kindness with unwavering loyalty and utmost devotion. His Majesty shines like the sun and moon, and I, your humble servant, will serve as the stars in his presence, doing my utmost to assist him. I am willing to use my body as a shield and my heart as a sword to protect His Majesty's safety, uphold the nation, and devote myself to the cause until my dying breath."
In an instant, Qiao Chengyun, who had been a step slower in pledging allegiance, seized the opportunity, strode forward, and knelt down again, his vow resounding and powerful. His words, like a torrent, instantly shattered the silence of the hall, drawing astonished glances from everyone.
What kind of rhyme are you spouting, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes?!
Does it make you seem cultured?
Qiao Chengyun's actions caused a huge stir, instantly igniting everyone's loyalty. Unwilling to be outdone, they renewed their oaths, drawing upon their limited knowledge, and changed their tune, shouting their new vows:
"My lord! This old minister is willing to follow you, even unto death!"
An elderly man with white hair trembled as he made a loud vow, tears glistening in his eyes, his voice filled with boundless piety and determination.
Then, more voices rose up one after another:
"My lord! The Li family is willing to serve you faithfully, even unto death!"
"My lord! Our Wang family is willing to expand your territory, even at the cost of our lives!"
"My lord! The Sun family is willing to overcome all obstacles and follow you to the death!"
The entire hall was instantly filled with a chorus of vows, each voice brimming with fervor and loyalty, as if they were offering their lives and souls to the young man before them. Their gazes were fixed on Chen Zhou, their eyes gleaming with boundless admiration and awe.
The unexpected scene made Chen Zhou unable to help but laugh, feeling both amused and exasperated.
With a wave of his hand, a gentle breeze lifted everyone up. Then, amidst the fervent gazes of the crowd, Chen Zhou returned to the main table facing the entrance.
One after another, storage soul tools appeared out of thin air and landed in front of everyone.
“Take it and use it to persuade your people, colleagues, and subordinates.”
"Within a single day, I will take all thirty-eight cities of the East Sea under my control."
Chen Zhou's words were like an irresistible command, instantly sounding an alarm in everyone's hearts. They all looked down at the storage soul tool floating in front of them, a complex look flashing in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fervor and determination.
Chen Zhou's words were clear: what they needed to do now was to take these storage soul tools back and persuade their clansmen, colleagues, and subordinates to completely side with the Beast Merchant Guild and submit to Chen Zhou's rule.
In a single day, all thirty-eight cities in the East China Sea fell into his hands.
This was an extremely bold and audacious goal, but everyone present had no doubt that Chen Zhou had the ability and the courage to achieve it.
They were already impressed by Chen Zhou's methods and power. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds—to follow Chen Zhou and become the creators of a new era.
"As you command, Lord!"
The crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing like a torrent through the hall, causing the entire space to tremble slightly. They all reached out and took the storage soul tools that floated before them, their eyes gleaming with determination.
Chen Zhou nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, a cold glint flashing in his crimson-gold eyes: "Remember, time is running out. You only have one day. If anyone dares to delay or disobey, they will bear the consequences."
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the deepest fears in everyone's hearts. Everyone understood that Chen Zhou wasn't threatening them, but stating an unchangeable fact: the power of the Beast Merchant Guild was already too great for them to resist.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chen Zhou's gaze, but they had already made up their minds that no matter what, they would complete the task assigned by Chen Zhou within a day.
Chen Zhou waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave.
The dignitaries in the hall rose one after another, bowed respectfully to Chen Zhou, and then quickly left the reception hall.
As everyone left, the hall returned to silence. Chen Zhou sat in the main seat, his gaze deep, as if deep in thought.
I'm so sorry everyone, but I had a stomach ache today, and it hurt like a blender was running inside me.
