Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 86: Mole or Not

"Venus retrograde!"

Wuqu Xingjun, who had been besieged, finally broke free. His eyes turned red, and he roared as he pounced on Jin Bing!

Kim Byung's smile remained unchanged, seemingly unconcerned about the attack.

Xuan Du and Ao Guang, the two left and right protectors, were quite startled. Although the prisoners of war had been suppressed by the Azure Dragon Ancestor's talisman, they were still Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals who had accumulated years of experience. Their physical bodies alone were enough to kill the Demon Emperor, a mere True Immortal!

If this Martial Star Lord were to injure the Demon Emperor, what would become of us?!

The two boys immediately rushed forward, pinning Wuqu Xingjun to the ground on either side, while simultaneously reprimanding the other prisoners of war.

Wuqu Xingjun was the first to be captured...

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The star lords and demon generals had no choice but to accept their fate and remain motionless.

Kim Byung laughed heartily:

"It is truly Jin Bing's good fortune that you celestial officials recognize a mere True Immortal like myself... However, since we are here, it would be best to cooperate."

Then Jin Bing added:

"I've come to tell you that the strength of the two Heavenly Courts has changed. They are now basically evenly matched, and my Equal Heavenly Court will only grow stronger. As for the Sun Star Lord..."

Upon hearing the name of the Sun Star Lord, everyone's faces fell:

That scoundrel is practically a spy from Shouyang Mountain who infiltrated the Heavenly Court. His act of ceding territory, like drinking poison to quench thirst, has almost fundamentally shaken the legitimacy of the Heavenly Court's establishment.

A Heavenly Court that upholds the principle of "equality among all races" actually ceded the Central Plains to the Wu Clan. The vast and prosperous Central Plains became the private territory of the Wu Clan in an instant, and the myriad demons of the Central Plains became slaves of the Wu Clan. The Heavenly Court lost all popular support!

Everyone knows that after this incident, the myriad demons of Zhongzhou were cursing and running away, fearing that they would be enslaved by the Wu Clan in Zhongzhou. Their escape route was naturally Shouyang Mountain, an enemy of the Heavenly Court.

The key point is that it's not just Zhongzhou. When the demons of the other four wastelands heard about the Sun Star Lord's heaven-defying behavior, they were also filled with fear and unease. After all, if the Heavenly Court can take away Zhongzhou, it can take away other places. Who is not afraid of their home being suddenly taken away?

So before Shouyang Mountain could launch a full-scale attack, many places surrendered voluntarily. After all, Shouyang Mountain couldn't be more powerful than the Sun Star Lord, and Chief Jin Bing was even the successor personally appointed by the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if people don't trust Jin Bing, they can still trust the Heavenly Emperor, right?

After weighing the options, many demons chose to bring their families and lands to Shouyang Mountain...

"That Sun Star Lord deserves to die!"

Suddenly someone cursed.

Jin Bing looked over curiously, only to see a familiar face who wasn't quite a close acquaintance:

Taiyi Xingjun.

This star lord is one of the highest-ranking and most powerful celestial officials in the Heavenly Court, and he also has a very good old friend: the Sun Star Lord!

The two were as close as brothers. In his previous life, their master, the Sun Star Lord, had repeatedly said that he would send Jin Bing to Taiyi Star to serve as his deputy. In a certain wrong side story in this life, Jin Bing did indeed go up there and serve as Taiyi's deputy for a period of time, so he was not unfamiliar with him.

The reason why such a big figure as him, who belongs to the same faction as the Sun Star Lord, was captured here can only be said to be that the Sun Star Lord had lost badly and hoped to send a good brother to keep an eye on the repeatedly defeated witch army.

The high priest under his supervision was named Hou Yi...

Basically, it can be said that Taiyi Xingjun was the one who hated Taiyang Xingjun the most among these three or four hundred prisoners of war!

Of course, Hou Yi, that treacherous traitor, can't escape either!

Jin Bing asked with a smile:

"Does the Star Lord wish to abandon darkness and embrace the light?"

The Taiyi Star Lord, who was still cursing, paused. Seeing that all his colleagues were staring at him, his voice immediately softened:

"That's not quite it..."

Jin Bing shook his head:

"In short, the Sun Star Lord has acted perversely and is on the verge of death. I believe everyone knows this clearly."

"At this rate, we should be able to reach the Thirty-Third Heaven within the next one or two Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese calendar)... But great battles always result in death. I hope everyone can consider the Heavenly Emperor's ideals and take a look at the Heavenly Court as it is now..."

"You want us to persuade them to surrender?"

Taiyi Xingjun frowned and interrupted him.

Jin Bing wasn't angry; he simply nodded.

"That would naturally be the best."

"So what will happen to the sun after you win?"

Taiyi Xingjun pressed on with an inexplicable question.

Jin Bing pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"He must die."

"good!"

Taiyi Xingjun gritted his teeth:

"I'm willing to try and persuade him to surrender, but I must see him die with my own eyes!"

Jin Bing was somewhat surprised. He had thought that this old friend of the Sun Star Lord would plead with him, but unexpectedly, the opposite happened...

But I can understand it.

There will always be someone who has to give their life to bring this protracted war to a close. That person is not Sun Star Lord, but Jin Bing.

It was clear that he had won; only the Sun Star Lord could die.

Even Jin Bing hesitated to kill his master from his previous life...

"However, I will not join your Equal Heaven."

Taiyi Xingjun seemed to have let go of some inner conflict, but his expression remained resolute:

"From the moment I took office, I swore to be loyal to the Heavenly Emperor. Now that the Heavenly Emperor is about to abdicate and the Heavenly Court is about to perish... I will no longer serve anyone else as my master."

"Me too!"

Finally, Wuqu Xingjun, pinned to the ground, gave up struggling. He gritted his teeth and said:

"I can try to persuade them to surrender, but I will not become your official!"

With the two highest-ranking star deities speaking, the other celestial officials naturally couldn't remain silent either:

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Same!"

"..."

"Same……"

Many celestial officials avoided eye contact, clearly not speaking their minds, but everyone was pledging loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor, and they couldn't be the first to stand out...

Jin Bing saw everything, said nothing, and left with a smile.

"etc!"

Suddenly, Taiyi Xingjun called him back and asked in a deep voice:

"Give me a straight answer... Hou Yi... was the Wu tribe a traitor?"

Jin Bing paused for a moment, well...

"no."

Jin Bing shook his head in denial.

Really?I do not believe!

Led by Taiyi Xingjun, the group of unlucky fellows looked at him with gloomy expressions, clearly not believing him.

Jin Bing sighed, turned and left...

In fact, Hou Yi was indeed the traitor, but it was definitely not acceptable to make it too obvious. Moreover, most of the Wu tribe members were not "equalists"; they were actually fighting very seriously.

The reason why we have this absurd phenomenon of "everyone being an actor" is simply because Kim Byung-sung did it on purpose!

After forming an alliance with Houtu, in order to disrupt the thinking and judgment of the Supreme Heavenly Court and to protect the traitor within, Jin Bing devised a battle strategy:

If we have Hou Yi, then let's concentrate our forces and give Hou Yi a good beating!

Even without Hou Yi, but with other Lich allied forces, then we'll focus our attacks on the Lich faction!

After defeating the witch army, they would deliberately let the high witches escape, only capturing the ordinary witch soldiers, and then focus all their efforts on the Heavenly Star Lords...

Therefore, in Dijiang's eyes, his defeat was clearly due to Shouyang Mountain targeting him, and the defeat was normal. He would not rashly suspect that the Houtu tribe were all traitors.

But in the eyes of the Sun Star Lord, the Wu tribe were all actors. Every time the allied forces were formed, the Wu tribe collapsed first, and the Heavenly Soldiers, who were originally fighting quite well, also collapsed!

The key point is that the Great Shaman always manages to escape, while his own Star Lord and Demon General are captured.

After a while, the Sun God will naturally start cursing!

This was used to sow discord between the already hostile Witch Clan and the Heavenly Court, exacerbating the conflict; the effect was truly remarkable...

Upon returning to the Demon Emperor's Palace, Jin Bing suddenly convened a court assembly and announced the battle plan to all officials:

"This time, the Wu tribe has gone mad, and even Dijiang himself is coming to oversee the battle."

"This is undoubtedly a huge challenge, but it's also a great opportunity for us!"

Jin Bing said solemnly:

"If we defeat the Lich Alliance in this battle, it will be a blatant slap in the face to Dijiang, and our prestige will reach its peak."

"And what follows is the real counterattack! Within two cycles, we will utterly crush the Witch Clan and the Sun Star Lord, and usher in a victory that belongs to us and to all living beings in heaven and earth!"

I am finally coming!

The officials, both excited and solemn, shouted in unison:

"Victory!"

……

[In the 374th year of the Demon Calendar, the second cycle of the eighth period, the enraged Emperor Jiang personally led the army, appointing ninety great shamans including Hou Yi, Xiang Liu, and Kua Fu as generals. He also conscripted all the capable shamans from Buzhou Mountain, and joined forces with the seven star lords of the Big Dipper and other celestial officials. The massive shaman-demon allied army marched straight towards the Eastern Wilderness!]

A crucial battle that will determine the future offensive and defensive posture of the two Heavenly Courts is now inevitable!
