Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

The demon race is not good at alchemy or weapon crafting.

Directly consuming spiritual plants and medicines not only greatly reduces their effectiveness but also wastes resources.

As for weapon crafting, it's simply a matter of roughly refining the materials.

They don't inscribe formations or restrictions on the weapons at all.

Human elixirs and weapons are sold to the demon race for several times or even dozens of times the price.

Niu Moshan stared intently at the rewards.

These elixirs can save one's descendants hundreds of years of cultivation time.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan's voice rang out again.

"Since you have pledged allegiance to my Great Xia..."

"From now on, you will be one of the Dharma Kings of the Underworld, and you will be in charge of establishing the branch in the Chaotic Domain."

King of the Underworld!

This made Niu Moshan extremely excited.

Thump!

His knees slammed heavily to the ground, and his head hit the ground with a thud.

"Your subject, Niu Moshan, hereby swears an oath: If I dare to betray Great Xia and Your Majesty..."

"I will immediately suffer the five signs of decay, and my soul will be scattered!"

After saying that, a sliver of light visible to the naked eye above his head disappeared into the void.

Good guy!

They even made a vow!

Now Ye Gucheng was completely convinced!

Who in this world would dare to make such a vow?

Once the backlash occurs, the soul will be completely destroyed, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot save them.

Who can understand the excitement that Niu Moshan is feeling right now!

In his eyes, this was the Dharma King of the Great Xia Underworld.

Not only will he hold a high position and wield great power, but as long as the Great Xia Dynasty does not perish...

My lineage will be passed down forever.

Who knows, they might even be granted a noble title in the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.

Even if you offered him the position of chieftain of the Bull Tribe right now, he wouldn't even give it a second glance.

What kind of bastard clan leader is he? Can he even compare to the incense of the Dharma King of the Underworld?

"Alright, get up!"

"If you encounter a crisis in the future, you can immediately call on the Underworld Emperors to rescue you."

Xia Zhaoyan also found it fun.

Anyway, I'm just idling around.

He's just the Dharma King; he gave it to them, so be it.

He wanted to see if this move would bring unexpected benefits in the future.

As for whether the Great Xia will accept other races in the future, he himself cannot decide yet.

There are too many races in the myriad worlds. Judging from the information that the Supreme Treasure passed on to him, he was envious of the talents of some races.

However, no single top-tier power in the heavens is composed of numerous races.

At most, it would be a case of one race being the main focus, with other races playing a secondary role.

Although it is called an assistant, it is actually the status of a servant.

After all, everyone understands the principle that those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

...

Today is not a legally mandated court assembly in the Chaotian Hall.

It was a court assembly that Xia Zhaoyan decided on the spot.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials, as well as the people from the Imperial Palace, were present in the imperial court.

"Gentlemen, we are holding a court assembly today."

"It's because I've obtained intelligence about our Great Xia!"

Next, Xia Zhaoyan recounted the intelligence sent by Niu Moshan.

At this moment, the expressions of most of the officials in the hall changed drastically.

After all, they were natives, and this was a joint attack on Great Xia by both the human and demon races.

Some officials were already completely paralyzed with fear!

Seeing this, not only did Xia Zhaoyan frown, but even the officials and military personnel felt ashamed.

"What a disgrace!"

"Guards, remove these people's official hats and drag them out!"

Xia Zhaoyan was furious at this moment, having had so many powerful figures under his command for so many years.

The fact that some people are unable to improve themselves shows how incompetent the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty are.

Don't worry about your fears or concerns; Xia Zhaoyan understands.

But it's unacceptable for you to be so frightened that you collapsed in fear in the imperial court!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger..."

...

"Your Majesty, I was wrong..."

A dozen or so officials were brought in by guards who removed their official hats and robes and dragged them out.

From then on, he lost his official status and became an ordinary citizen!

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng stepped forward.

As the Left Chancellor, he had to analyze the situation for the officials and calm their emotions.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty still cannot do without these people.

Although there are thousands of people in the imperial court, each and every one of them is indispensable.

Such a massive system cannot function without the execution of any one person.

"Your Majesty, the alliance between humans and demons is not so frightening!"

"Now we need to find out when they will start the war!"

"Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty to order the activation of our spies in the outer regions to ascertain the timing of the war!"

Xia Zhaoyan nodded in agreement, then looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, the Underworld, and other institutions.

Officials from several agencies immediately bowed and accepted the order!

"Gentlemen, with the current strength of our Great Xia, we are not afraid of the alliance between the human and demon races at all."

"Back in the battle in the East Sea, didn't both races' Dragon Transformation Realm experts still suffer a defeat?"

"I know you're worried about Heaven's intervention!"

"There's no need for you all to worry. If Heaven were to intervene, the human and demon races wouldn't have had to join forces!"

With just a few words, Zhang Juzheng reassured everyone's concerns.

In fact, these people are all exceptionally intelligent; they just hadn't thought about it deeply enough earlier.

After being reminded by Zhang Juzheng, they all realized what was happening.

Xia Zhaoyan, sitting at the head of the table, nodded to himself.

Finally, I don't have to lower my standards by comforting people anymore!

...

Xia Zhaoyan looked at the military personnel.

"After the court assembly, Great Xia will begin preparations for war!"

"You need to inform the generals of past generations and summon them from their ancestral lands."

"Any objections?"

After enjoying so many years of success, it's time to step forward and contribute my share.

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

How dare the military generals disobey the imperial decree!

...

Under Xia Zhaoyan's orders, the preparations for war in the Great Xia Dynasty were not carried out in a grand manner.

In his view, as long as Heaven doesn't intervene.

Neither the human nor the demon race can break in. Don't forget the Great Wall that guards the border!

...

As time went by, the preparations for war did not affect the development of people's livelihoods in the slightest.

On this day, Mu Wenhan, Wang Zhi, and Meng Zhou arrived at the palace.

In the Hall of State Affairs, the three stood at attention.

"Speak, what brings you here today?"

...

Meng Zhou and Mu Wenhan sighed inwardly.

Meng Zhou then stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, after this period of persuasion, almost none of those followers of evil and heretical doctrines have come to their senses and returned to the right path."

"This effort has failed!"

For two whole months, the authorities used both soft and hard tactics.

Very few believers have realized their mistake and returned to the right path.

Meng Zhou and Mu Wenhan admitted that they had underestimated the power of those temples.

The methods of bewitching and brainwashing are the most sophisticated.

Xia Zhaoyan smiled after hearing this.

"So, does my subject still intend to overturn the previous decision?"

Meng Zhou clasped his hands in a deep bow.

"I am ashamed; I have failed Your Majesty's trust!"

"You wasted two whole months of my summer vacation!"

...

"Let's get started." Xia Zhaoyan waved his hand.

He knew that Meng Zhou meant well.

However, one's perspective determines one's potential, and he had no idea how terrifying the incense and deity worship could be.

"I have already given those people a chance."

"They themselves didn't know how to seize this last chance to survive!"

Then he looked towards Mu Wenhan and Wang Zhi.

"Heavenly Punishment Bureau and Eastern Depot, heed my command."

"Effective immediately, your two organizations will lead the operation to destroy the mountain and demolish the temple!"

"Also, notify the Embroidered Uniform Guard to participate in the operation."

"The Golden Dragon Guards are at your disposal!"

This time, Xia Zhaoyan did not use his two direct-lineage legions.

...

"Heh, once we take action this time..."

"This is likely to unleash a massive, unprecedented wave!"
