If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

Su Mingyue was stopped by Zhou Ming and did not insist on continuing on this matter.

She also knew Zhou Ming's character and never wanted to waste time on such formalities.

Su Mingyue turned around and walked back to the dragon table, sat down again, flicked her sleeves, and once again regained her calm and imperial demeanor.

But the light in her eyes was like two clusters of charcoal that had been rekindled.

"How is the situation in the Spirit Void World?" Su Mingyue asked Zhou Ming.

Su Mingyue had a general understanding of the battle situation in the Spirit Void World.

She knew that after Zhou Ming returned, he almost single-handedly turned the battlefield of the Spirit Void World upside down.

There are quite a few Mahayana stage cultivators who have died at his hands.

Although Nightingale was constantly sending messages back to the inner circle, Nightingale was, after all, just a spy. No matter how fast the messages she sent back were, they couldn't keep up with Zhou Ming, the person directly involved.

Zhou Ming met Su Mingyue's gaze and, without keeping her in suspense, spoke directly.

"Your Majesty, the Azure Wolf Clan of the Spirit Void World has been subdued by me."

"Sister Dongmei is currently receiving information from the Spirit Void World. It shouldn't be long before news comes back."

"What? You've subdued him?"

Su Mingyue's voice rose several decibels, and she suddenly stood up from the dragon throne. Her usually cold face showed a rare and obvious tremor.

She could hardly believe it.

How long has it been since the Nightingale sent back the battle report?

From the time news of the great battle in the Spirit Void World reached her ears until now, it has only been a few hours at most.

In just a short while, Zhou Ming had already subdued the Canglang clan.

That's the Azure Wolf Clan, who reign supreme in the Spirit Void World, not some mere chickens or dogs.

"right."

Zhou Ming nodded, his tone remaining calm.

"The Mahayana stage cultivator of the Canglang clan has handed over his soul core to me."

"I then handed over those soul cores to Sister Dongmei."

"Now that those Mahayana cultivators have bowed their heads, even if the people below are still dissatisfied, they can't cause any trouble."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Su Mingyue said "good" three times in a row, her voice getting louder with each utterance.

She could no longer sit still, so she came out from behind the dragon desk and paced back and forth in the Qian Yuan Hall.

Although she maintained the dignity of an empress on her face, her steps were much faster than usual.

The Spirit Void World was the first gateway for the Ming Dynasty to all the heavens and myriad worlds.

If they were to completely conquer it, the Ming Dynasty would have essentially torn a gap in the Federation's territory, a gap large enough for it to establish itself.

She couldn't help but start planning which people to send to manage the newly acquired land, and how to connect its resources with the Qiankun Pearl World.

Zhou Ming stood aside and clearly saw Su Mingyue's unusually anxious appearance.

He knew that once this woman entered a "planning" state, she wouldn't be able to stop anytime soon.

Zhou Ming didn't want to just sit idly by and wait for her to finish "planning".

He had no choice but to interrupt: "Your Majesty, I have another immature idea."

Su Mingyue paused, turned around to look at him: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Zhou Ming cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although the human race in the Lingxu World has been rescued, there are still hundreds of millions of human races under the rule of the Federation of Myriad Races who are suffering in dire straits."

"As fellow human beings, I truly do not wish to see my fellow human beings suffer such a calamity again."

"Furthermore, the population is the lifeblood of the nation, and the survival of the people is the foundation of the state."

"If the Ming Dynasty wants to dominate all the worlds, it needs an extremely large population as its foundation."

"If the population is insufficient, no matter how large the territory, there will be no one to guard it or cultivate it."

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue's eyes slowly brightened.

She didn't rush to speak, but nodded slightly to Zhou Ming, signaling him to continue.

Zhou Ming didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Therefore, I would like to implore Your Majesty to issue a proclamation to all the races of the Federation in the joint name of myself and the Great Ming Dynasty."

"They are to send all the enslaved, captive, and oppressed humans to the Spirit Void World within three months."

"As long as all ethnic groups comply, this debt can be temporarily dropped."

"If it really comes to that, I can't guarantee I'll be able to stop myself."

Su Mingyue was stunned after hearing this.

Her phoenix eyes stared intently at Zhou Ming, as if she were rapidly weighing her options.

After a moment, she asked in a deep voice, "Coming to demand someone's return? How confident are you that you can get away unscathed?"

Without hesitation, Zhou Ming replied, "Your Majesty, if it's just a matter of escaping unscathed, I am absolutely confident."

"However, these worlds are not close to the Lingxu World. I do not currently have their exact coordinates. If we were to actually fight, just getting there would probably take a lot of effort."

"Good! Good! Good!" Su Mingyue said "good" three times in a row.

She took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Ming again, her eyes filled with undisguised passion.

"Zhou Ming, you don't need to worry about anything else. You only need to act when I need you to."

"Leave the rest to me. I guarantee that those alien races will obediently hand over the humans they have."

Zhou Ming looked up and met Su Mingyue's eyes, which were burning with fire, and he immediately understood.

These great worlds of the Federation, though each one more remote than the last.

However, after more than 20 years of development, the Ming Dynasty also benefited from the technology and heritage it inherited from the Fox Clan and the Thunder Fang Tiger Clan.

The Ming Dynasty of today is no longer the small dynasty that could only travel back and forth by air.

The Ming Dynasty had already grasped most of the coordinates, teleportation points, and locations of various races in the Federation world.

All they lack is strength.

Now there is this figure who dominates all the races of the Federation.

This gave Su Mingyue the confidence to wage war against various races.

Moreover, he believed that once the announcement was made, no matter how arrogant those alien races were, they would have to think twice.

The Azure Wolf Clan, Thunder Fang Tiger Clan, and Fox Clan of the Spirit Void World serve as cautionary tales.

If they know what's good for them and hand the person over, Zhou Ming will save himself a lot of trouble.

If they are oblivious and pretend to be deaf and dumb, then he will have a reason to draw his sword.

And the Ming Dynasty now had a legitimate reason to attack.

As Zhou Ming pondered this, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Su Mingyue.

"In that case, Your Majesty, I will trouble you. I shall take my leave now."

After he finished speaking, Su Mingyue nodded and he turned and walked out of the hall.

Su Mingyue did not try to stop him.

She stood in the Qian Yuan Hall, watching Zhou Ming's departing figure, and remained seated for a long time.

It wasn't until the light outside the hall began to slant and Chunlan quietly entered to change the tea that she slowly turned around and said to Chunlan.

"By my decree, immediately summon the Six Ministries and the Cabinet for a meeting."

"In addition, have Nightingale double-check the coordinates of all the great worlds of the Federation, especially those races that enslave humans the most, and don't miss a single one."

Chunlan accepted the order and quickly withdrew.

Su Mingyue sat back on the dragon throne, her fingers lightly tapping the dragon table, her gaze fixed intently on the outside of the hall.

She knew very well that once this proclamation was issued, the Ming Dynasty would have no way out.

But so what?

The game has come to this point, and Su Mingyue has never considered backing down.

She was able to rise from a mere noblewoman to her current position, and she can also rise from this realm to conquer all the myriad realms.
