My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

The grand inauguration ceremony has come to an end, but the hearts of the people are still unsettled.

What they saw and heard today is deeply etched into their souls, something they will never forget.

Li Xuancang did not want to hold such a grand celebration, but the low morale of the Divine Dynasty needed this grand event to boost morale, so Li Xuancang had no choice but to accept it.

Back in the courtroom, Li Xuancang kept examining the Sword of Judgment.

"Lord of the Court, this is an unparalleled weapon forged by the God Emperor for the Court of Judgment. Only the Sword of Judgment can activate the Imperial Capital's grand formation."

Yan Fa explained to Li Xuancang.

The Sword of Judgment is not only a divine weapon, but also a token for controlling the Imperial Capital's grand formation.

"Convene an eternal council."

When Li Xuancang takes over as the head of the Court of Judgment, he will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Divine Dynasty and make arrangements for it.

Before long, the Eternal Council convened, and Ling Yunxiao's seat was already vacant.

After everyone was seated, Li Xuancang asked, "With Marshal Ling dead in battle, the expeditionary force cannot be without a leader for even a day. Who do you think is capable of taking on this great responsibility?"

The expeditionary force was the largest army in the Divine Dynasty and the main force in resisting the Abyss and suppressing the mountains and rivers.

Now that Ling Yunxiao has died in battle, the expeditionary force is leaderless and in chaos, and it is necessary to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

"Lord Li, Marshal Ling made arrangements before he left. He recommended Nangong Cang to succeed him."

Zhang Mingyang replied.

Regarding the arrangements for the Grand Marshal of the Expeditionary Force, everyone decided to respect Ling Yunxiao's last wishes and did not obstruct them.

"Is Nangong Cang capable of commanding the expeditionary force?"

Li Xuancang raised a question.

Nangong Cang was only at the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, and his prestige was not as high as Ling Yunxiao's. Li Xuancang was worried that he would not be able to control the expeditionary force.

The expeditionary force not only consisted of the people of the Forsaken Land, but also, and more importantly, the armies of the Great World under the Divine Dynasty.

The armies of these great worlds are all arrogant and fierce, and they have many grievances against the Divine Dynasty.

If Nangong Cang is not capable enough to control the entire army, then the Divine Dynasty will need to clean up his mess.

Li Xuancang is now focused on fighting the Abyss and does not want any unforeseen complications that could hinder the expeditionary force.

"Lord Li, Nangong Cang has considerable prestige in the expeditionary force; he will not let us down."

The Eastern Divine Fire spoke for Nangong Cang.

Everyone knew something about Nangong Cang. Although his strength was only at the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, his abilities were beyond doubt.

"In that case, let Nangong Cang take over as Marshal Ling!"

Everyone believed that Nangong Cang could control the expeditionary force, so Li Xuancang said no more.

"How are the negotiations with the Holy Spirit realm going?"

Li Xuancang inquired about matters concerning the Holy Spirit Realm.

"The people have been returned to the Holy Spirit realm, and they have received considerable resources."

Yan Fa replied.

"Send people to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Realm to gather information. If the Holy Spirit Realm is invaded by the Abyss, that will be our opportunity to send troops."

The Holy Spirit Fire of the Holy Spirit Realm is something the Divine Dynasty is determined to obtain, and Li Xuancang is plotting to acquire it.

Forcibly entering the Holy Spirit Realm would result in being suppressed and killed by the Heavenly Dao of the Holy Spirit Realm. Li Xuancang needs to wait for the Abyss to invade.

Only by allowing the will of the abyss to suppress the Heavenly Dao of the Holy Spirit Realm can they have an opportunity to take advantage.

"I'll arrange it immediately."

The Lord of Xinghe Palace, Yun Xinghe, agreed.

The Star River Palace is responsible for gathering information from all the heavens and myriad realms, and is skilled in infiltration.

"I've released the news that I'm going to conduct a thorough investigation of all departments."

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's words, everyone trembled and turned their gazes toward him.

Yan Fa wanted to speak, but hesitated and stopped.

He knew that Li Xuancang was determined to thoroughly investigate all departments, but now was clearly not the time.

The others also looked grim, believing that Li Xuancang was completely disregarding the bigger picture.

"Rest assured, everyone, the court will not really conduct a thorough investigation, but the commotion will be huge and known to all."

Li Xuancang's words made everyone's pupils shrink, wondering what he was up to.

"Spark Palace will fully cooperate."

"The Night's Watch will be subject to a thorough investigation by the Inquisition."

"The ruling hall will fully support Lord Li."

"..."

Since Li Xuancang had already said all that, everyone had no choice but to compromise.

They hoped that Li Xuancang would keep his word and not pursue the matter further.

Each department is a behemoth with a large number of people, and very few of them are honest and upright.

If the court were to conduct a thorough investigation, at least 70% of the people would be imprisoned.

This is also why various departments resisted a thorough investigation by the court; no one wants to become a prisoner.

If 70% of the staff were taken away by the court, all departments would be completely paralyzed.

Driven to desperation, some people had no choice but to take risks, betray the divine dynasty, and join the Rebel God Cult.

The news caused a huge uproar.

"What? Another thorough investigation? Has the court gone mad?"

"Li Xuancang becoming the head of the court is not a good thing."

"Damn it, can't they just shut up?"

"..."

After the news spread, countless people were furious, followed by fear and unease.

Many people did not betray the Divine Dynasty, but they all committed some crimes to varying degrees. If the Tribunal investigates them, they will be in deep trouble.

People were filled with fear and trepidation, unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

"Damn it, Li Xuancang is in charge of the court now, and no one can stop him this time."

The traitor hidden within the Divine Dynasty was extremely anxious, more so than anyone else.

They knew that Li Xuancang had always wanted to investigate thoroughly, but for various reasons he had not been able to do so.

Now that Li Xuancang has become the head of the court, second only to the emperor, no one can stop him.

Once the court is given the opportunity to investigate thoroughly, they will be unable to hide.

"Immediately report to the Divine Cult, let them launch an attack, put pressure on the Divine Dynasty, and force the Inquisition to stop its thorough investigation."

Now that things have come to this, they can only resort to a diversionary tactic of attacking Wei to relieve the pressure on Zhao.

If Li Xuancang insists on going his own way and the various departments cannot operate normally, then the Abyss can take this opportunity to seize a large part of the Divine Dynasty's territory.

Amidst the widespread panic and turmoil in the Divine Dynasty, Li Xuancang made arrangements.

"Starsea, proceed to Blackrock Fortress immediately."

Li Xuancang's real purpose was not to thoroughly investigate all departments, but to make an example of them and force the hidden traitors to make the Rebel God Sect take action.

"Yes, ma'am."

Su Xinghai acted secretly, not leaving through the teleportation array, to avoid being discovered.

Subsequently, Li Xuancang ordered the Third Legion, which was suppressing the Xuantian Realm, to be on standby at any time.

As expected, in order to protect the people lurking in the Divine Dynasty, the Rebellious God Cult quickly joined forces with the Abyss to launch an attack.

Blackrock Fortress was the first to be hit, with hordes of monsters surging forth like waves.

While resisting the Abyss's attack, Blackrock Fortress also sought help from the Divine Dynasty.

Li Xuancang and various departments were well-prepared, and a large number of personnel were quickly deployed to provide support.

Meanwhile, Li Xuancang secretly met with Yun Xinghe, and the two talked for a long time before parting ways.

"Kill them!"

At Blackrock Fortress, the sounds of battle shook the heavens, smoke billowed, and the stench of blood lingered, making it resemble a living hell.

The abyssal monsters and the Rebel God Cult joined forces to attack, and the defense line was on the verge of collapse.
