Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 144 Even the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints came to me for a job interview.

The foundation's initial victory caused a public uproar, and the values ​​of onlookers were thrown into turmoil!

"[Breaking News - This isn't war, it's a one-sided slaughter of two million pigs!] Hongmengtian reports that the pass connecting Zhuolu in the East China Sea is called Tianhe Pass. Tianhe Pass has always been known for its easy defense and difficult attack, a crucial geographical advantage for Zhuolu in defending against invasions from the East China Sea. The Zhuolu alchemists have set up a protective array here, but even the best arrangements cannot overcome the folly of the commanders. The protective array was ignored, allowing the Foundation's mech army to rampage through Shanhaiguan Pass. How could flesh and blood possibly withstand the steel torrent of mechs! In nine hours, two million defenders were completely annihilated, and Tianhe Pass was lost—a defeat Zhuolu has never suffered before! We find it hard to believe that Zhuolu, ranked among the top five in military strength among the Eighteen Blessed Lands, truly possesses such power. Is it not inflated?"

"[Breaking News: Donghai and Zhuolu, each weaker than the last, truly a case of hidden dragons and phoenix chicks] Hongmeng Heaven reports: It was already a disgrace that Zhuolu's two million soldiers were slaughtered like pigs by the Foundation's mech squadron. Even more unacceptable is that there's always someone stronger! Donghai, in alliance with the Four Dragon Lords, launched a million-strong army to attack Jianye City in Aolai Kingdom. These four mighty Dragon Lords, four Martial God-level ancestors at the tenth realm, were utterly intimidated by Qin Feng, a mere third-realm warrior. On the walls of Jianye City, Qin Feng single-handedly annihilated 300,000 of their troops! It turned out Qin Feng was using an empty city stratagem; there wasn't a single guard inside. Utterly humiliated and utterly irrational, they attempted a full-scale attack, only to be slaughtered by the arriving expert Jinghong, suffering over half their casualties! The four Dragon Lords were even abducted by a Saint and have vanished without a trace! Donghai's Four Palaces have lost three locations, existing in name only!"

"[Breaking News - Foundation's First Battle a Success, Public Announcement Issued] The Foundation has successfully established itself in Aolai Kingdom after conquering Tianhe Pass in the east and sweeping away the remnants of the Four Seas in the west. The Foundation headquarters has issued a relocation order and will move from the far side of the moon to Jianye City in Aolai Kingdom within three months. A public announcement has been issued to all aquatic creatures in the East Sea: anyone who voluntarily surrenders and repents will have their past crimes forgiven by the Foundation. Anyone who can expose the crimes of the Four Seas Dragon Kings will also be richly rewarded. The Foundation's entry into the East Sea is not an invasion of the East Sea by the Seven Outer Universes, but rather in the name of the Human King, to sort out the human legacy left by King Yu the Great and protect human territory. There is absolutely no intention to interfere with the Eighteen Grotto-Heavens. All Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands, please rest assured that the Foundation will not interfere with the normal operations of other Grotto-Heavens..."

Throughout the Three Realms, public opinion was abuzz with discussion.

Some people are saying that the Li and Yang families are incredibly stupid. It's impossible to catch two million pigs in ten hours. They managed to gain such a huge advantage, but the foundation completely wiped them out.

Some are saying that the Battle of Tianhe Pass was nothing compared to the Battle of Jianye City, where the guild leader blocked a million-strong army with a single sword strike. For the first time, a mech of the Heavenly Rank [Premium] level joined the war, and the [Wu De] mech alone was able to slaughter 300,000 East Sea Allied Forces!

Some even say that the most crucial battle was the battle in the heavens, where the Four Dragon Kings, each in their true form, were all at the Great Perfection of the Tenth Realm, yet they encountered the Three Saints and the Chef. It remains to be seen how this battle in the Outer Heavens will end.

Some people also realized that Mencius had not appeared throughout the entire war and did not know where he was now.

Amidst the dense and heated discussions, the most entertaining topic was undoubtedly the arrival of powerful figures at the last moment. One by one, they descended from the sky to assist Qin Feng, disrupting the formation of the demon army. Whether it was the archer Zilu or the mecha in command, various headlines and breaking news emerged one after another.

Some rejoiced, while others grieved. While the seven kingdoms were overjoyed, the eighteen blessed lands remained silent, their moods unpredictable.

Several radical demon clan factions, led by Hongmengyuan, all believed this was a great thing.

These demon realms and blessed lands are more like the North Sea period in terms of their relationship with the human world, where people coexist peacefully, do not interfere with each other, and ideally can trade.

The Human Foundation has officially announced its entry into the East Sea, one of the Eighteen Blessed Lands, and the establishment of a permanent base. This means that the barrier between the outer and inner universes has been broken. In the future, if you want to trade with the Seven Kingdoms, you will no longer need to smuggle. You can directly transport goods to Aolai Kingdom in the East Sea for sale. Aolai Kingdom will definitely have goods from the Seven Kingdoms. From now on, everyone will follow the formal and official procedures for transactions. It is simple, convenient, and the delivery is fast!

As for traditional demon clans and forces like Kunlun Hongmeng Heaven, they dislike the Li and Yang families of Zhuolu, as well as the newly arrived Foundation. However, given the Foundation's current formidable strength—its ability to conquer two blessed lands in one go and win—it's clear that the Foundation has the power to take over blessed lands. Based on the principle of might makes right, the conservative demon clans are willing to acknowledge Qin Feng's status as the master of the blessed lands, but Qin Feng must swear not to invade any other blessed lands outside of Zhuolu in the East Sea, and not to interfere with or incite the destruction of the order of other blessed lands.

As for Zhuolu, it is in the most difficult situation now. The Li family, the Yang family, and the unassuming Ji family already make Zhuolu very crowded!

Now, the remnants of the Four Seas Dragon Clan have arrived. This is still a large army of hundreds of thousands, making them a top-tier force in Zhuolu.

The main forces of the Li and Yang families were originally concentrated at Tianhe Pass. Now that Tianhe Pass has been breached, their main forces have been wiped out. The Li and Yang families are no match for the fleeing demons of the East Sea. In a short time, large territories of the Yang family, the Li family, and even many other martial arts sects have been occupied by the remnants of the East Sea.

The remnants of the East Sea were also ruthless towards these established forces in Zhuolu. After all, if I can't beat the Foundation, can't I at least beat the Foundation's defeated underlings? Moreover, the Yang and Li families were also human. The Foundation's hatred for the Four Seas Alliance was transferred to the Li and Yang families by the Four Evils Alliance. For a time, the Li and Yang families' armies were being chased and beaten by the East Sea Alliance in Zhuolu, which was quite a scene.

The foundation, Jianye main city, president's office, a 3D projection telephone is in progress.

Qin Feng was extremely busy, and his lips were practically worn out from talking so much.

First, he reported to the kings of the seven kingdoms, informing them of his gains and losses, and requesting their approval for the next steps in his work plan.

Then there's the division of the interests demanded by the seven kingdoms. The cities and counties of Aolai should be divided into seven kingdoms, each with its own territory, and the winners should be chosen based on who contributed the most and who received the most.

Without a doubt, the major shareholder, Qin, made the first move, and Ying Zheng, without any hesitation, declared, "The Dragon Palace of the East Sea is mine! Although it hasn't been completely conquered yet, I'm not in a hurry. I have plenty of time to wait until all the guys inside are dead, and all the treasures inside will be mine! I've even thought of a name for it: Xianyang Palace!"

The second largest shareholder, Zhao, was equally assertive. "If you want the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, I'll take the Dragon Palace of the South Sea and rename it Handan Palace."

The third shareholder, Qi Guo, declared, "I want to rename the North Sea Dragon Palace to Linzi Palace."

The fourth shareholder, Wei Guo, stated that the West Sea Dragon Palace belonged to him and should be renamed Luoyang Palace.

When the five major powers of Chu saw that the Dragon Palace had been divided up, they simply took Aolai Kingdom's second largest city, located on the coast of the East Sea, and renamed it Sanghai City.

The sixth shareholder, South Korea, chose the third largest city and renamed it Xiaopingyang.

After the seven kingdoms of Yan had exhausted their options for cities and the Dragon Palace, they turned their attention to a land of a thousand islands and named it Yanziwu.

Although the territories of the seven kingdoms have been allocated, on the surface, to avoid danger, they will still be uniformly referred to as belonging to Aolai Kingdom and under the jurisdiction of the Foundation, in order to prevent the traditional demon race from developing persecution complex.

At this very moment, in Jianye City, in the chairman's office, Qin Feng rubbed his temples while looking at documents.

At the table, the seven kings and seven bosses all praised Qin Feng's current work, and hoped that Qin Feng could work harder and try to conquer Zhuolu within the year.

The seven nations guarantee that they will increase their bets in the upcoming war!

In particular, the states of South Korea, Yan, and Chu, which had raised their bets less last time, have become even more aggressive, indicating that they will increase their bets and even double down!

These three countries missed out on the Dragon Palace this time, losing countless treasures. They were extremely envious as the four royal families who obtained the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas dispatched their professional teams to receive the Dragon King's legacy, began recruiting soldiers and horses on a large scale, and consolidated their territories.

The development of the four seas is an absolutely huge business opportunity. In the eyes of the four kings, those are not just seas, but golden mines, economic hotspots that can support millions of laborers. Just by building some giant sea cities, how many people could they support! With a large population, the strength of the seven kingdoms will change!

Why can the Qin state be called an empire? Simply because the Qin state possessed more than half of the total human population! The other six states, due to environmental costs, have always had limited populations. Now that the East China Sea is a new population growth point, how could they not take notice?

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "President! A distinguished guest wishes to see you."

Qin Feng was preoccupied with writing a work report for Ying Zheng and had no interest in meeting guests. Without even looking up, he said, "No interest! Send him away!"

The foundation guard at the entrance said, "The person who introduced you calls himself Nine-Headed Insect and says he is your student, Chairman."

Qin Feng was taken aback. Nine-Headed Insect? This kid disappeared after our last meeting at Flower Fruit Mountain, and now he's come to see me, bringing people with him! Could it be that he's had some kind of extraordinary encounter recently?

Qin Feng stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Inside the reception room, three figures stood hesitantly.

The young and handsome man at the head of the group was none other than the Nine-Headed Insect. To the left of the Nine-Headed Insect sat an old man with white beard and white hair, and to the right sat a dragon girl with bright eyes and a pure heart.

The old man kept saying, "Little Jiu, are you sure the chairman will see us? We've never even met him before..."

Nine-Headed Insect laughed, "Old man, don't worry, although I've only met this gentleman once, he's a very reliable person! Just wait and see!"

The Dragon Girl chimed in, "Father, Ninth Brother said everything's alright, so nothing will go wrong. It would be best if we could settle in the East Sea! The sea here is so vast! It's so much better than that wretched place of ours, Luanshi Mountain!"

Nine-Headed Insect said smugly, "Of course! My master values ​​talent and will certainly make arrangements for you, sir."

Just then, a voice came from outside the door, "The president has arrived!"

Outside the door, the Foundation's guards stood in a line. Qin Feng, dressed in a long trench coat, strolled in with a broad smile. "We meet again, Nine-Headed Insect!"

Nine-Headed Insect hurriedly bowed in the disciple's salute, "Student Nine-Headed Insect greets Master!"

Seeing this, the old man and the dragon girl behind them were relieved. The Nine-Headed Insect really was the other party's student! It was truly unbelievable! This ordinary-looking demon boy actually had such a powerful teacher.

Qin Feng grabbed the Nine-Headed Insect's arm and said, "Since we parted ways at Flower Fruit Mountain last time, I've been busy with the war. I just finished and was thinking of sending someone to find you, but you came by yourself."

Nine-Headed Insect laughed and said, "Sir, you are incredibly powerful. You single-handedly slayed a million demon soldiers, conquered Zhuolu in the east, and swept through the East Sea in the west. You defeated the Dragon Lords of the Four Seas and made the Li and Yang families dare not raise their heads. You are truly a genius. I have come here to congratulate you."

"These are all trivial matters!" Qin Feng glanced at the old man and the dragon girl. "And who are these two?"

Nine-Headed Insect hurriedly pointed at the old man and said, "After our parting at Flower Fruit Mountain last time, I was swept by the black water to a lake, and that's when I met you, old man. He is the Dragon King of the Jade Pool in Chaotic Rock Mountain. He has a very high seniority in the dragon clan, even several generations higher than the fathers of the Ao family! The dragon clan calls him the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King. In the Investiture of the Gods war a few years ago, he was driven out of the sea by the Four Seas Dragon Lords because of his differing opinions. He fled to Chaotic Rock Mountain and became a wild dragon king. Now that I heard there are changes in the Four Seas, I asked you to come back and help Aolai have good weather and abundant harvests."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng glanced at the dragon girl with interest. "So this must be Princess Wansheng?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl quickly lowered her head, her face filled with shame, and said, "I dare not accept such praise!"

Is this the same woman who was once hailed as the epitome of a scumbag, Pan Jinlian among immortals?

He cuckolded the White Dragon Horse and even robbed Tang Sanzang with the Nine-Headed Insect. He could be said to have done enough to die, but because of his background, he just couldn't die.

These are all internet celebrities and goddesses!

I never expected them to come to me looking for a job.

The Dragon King of Bibo Pool has come to the East Sea at this moment, intending to make rain by riding the clouds and mist, which is also a great merit!

With this merit, his destiny becomes abundant. Even if Qin Feng doesn't pay him a salary, it's still a deal that he can't lose money no matter how you calculate it!

It would be difficult for Qin Feng to refuse, firstly because the task of making it rain has always been the dragon's task.

Just like the Weak Serpent lineage, a powerful aquatic tribe, they put in a lot of effort this time. But the Weak Serpent can't fly, and it can't rain. Even if it spits water, it's poisonous. All Qin Feng can do for the Weak Serpent lineage is to give them some benefits and promise them that they will always be allies.

So, for this rainy day job, we still need to find a dragon to do it.

At this moment, the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints took out a proclamation and handed it over, saying, "Please take a look, Lord Qin. In all these years, the old dragon Bibo Pool has never delayed the rain at Chaoyun Tomb."

This manifesto is a work record. Qin Feng flipped it open and glanced at it. It was full of attendance records. It was clear that the Old Dragon King was a workaholic. He could do such a good job even in a godforsaken place like Luanshi Mountain. Now that I've been transferred to a first-tier core city, I will definitely work hard.

Qin Feng set the proclamation aside. "Old Dragon King, do you have a suitable place to stay?"

The Dragon King of All Saints said awkwardly, "We have not yet found the dragon's nest."

Qin Feng said, "I have a place, the Three-Eyed Water Mansion, right opposite the Xianyang Water Palace! This mansion was originally a first-class VIP villa in the East Sea, but it's empty now. I wonder what the Old Dragon King thinks?"

The Dragon King of Halloween was extremely grateful. "Thank you for the arrangement, sir. This old dragon is deeply grateful. Quickly, thank you, Lord Qin."

Princess Wansheng also knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Lord Qin."

"You're too kind!" Qin Feng helped Erlong up. "You two are friends of my student, which means you're friends of me, Qin Feng. As the saying goes, Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher are the four cardinal directions. My student doesn't have any background. If I, as his teacher, don't treat him well, who else will care about him? I must give my student face."

"You two are new here! You probably didn't bring much money with you!"

"Someone! Write this down: 'The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints has bestowed upon my East Sea the blessings of clouds and rain, a great act of merit. The Foundation hereby grants him ten million spirit stones, thirty pairs of luminous pearls, sixty sets of coral, thirty maidservants, thirty servants, and two dragon carriages!'"

The two dragons were both excited upon hearing this, saying, "Thank you, sir."

The nine-headed worm also bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, you are truly magnanimous!"

Nine-Headed Insect was deeply moved. He had thought that he had come here just to have the master arrange a job for the two dragons, but he did not expect that after arranging the job, he would also have a place to stay. The place to stay was the No. 1 VIP Water Palace of the former East Sea Dragon Palace.

This water palace is quite significant; in the minds of aquatic creatures, the better the dwelling, the higher their status.

The old Dragon King's status means that even if other dragons come to join him in the future, they will be ranked lower. The Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King is the number one Dragon King under the Aolai Kingdom.

Furthermore, the gentleman casually spent tens of millions of spirit stones, along with countless luminous pearls, corals, and other treasures!

This is absolutely giving her, the student, the most face!

Nine-Headed Insect has always had feelings for Princess Wansheng, but he is too ashamed to speak up. The master has given him so many gifts in one go, even his own parents would not have done so much.

With such a gentleman, what is there for me, Nine-Headed Insect, to feel inferior about? No one in the world would dare to look down on me!

In his view, Qin Feng's actions were not only a favor to the Nine-Headed Insect, but also a drain on the fortunes of the East Sea.

Ying Zheng gave Qin Feng a death order: clear out Xianyang Palace as quickly as possible, and I will arrange for Fusu to come to Xianyang Palace to carry out my work.

But at the Crystal Palace, the dragon race's fate had not yet completely dissipated.

How can I make the bad luck of the Crystal Palace dissipate quickly?

Either go all out and kill all the water demons in the Crystal Palace! Or let the water demons scatter and run away on their own.

With Zhang Bairen's clone now in charge, Qin Feng doesn't dare to fight Zhang Bairen's clone one-on-one!

The second method is the only option.

The water sprite must have had an excuse to escape.

I'll build a second water palace for the old Dragon King next to the Crystal Palace. This Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints has such a high seniority that it's terrifying to dragons. Even the Dragon Lords of the Four Seas are like little brothers to him.

With it around, wouldn't all those water demons flock to the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints?

When that time comes, Zhang Bairen will be unable to stop the demons from leaving, and the Crystal Palace's fate will be sealed!

Then I can give Brother Zheng a satisfactory answer!

Qin Feng then took the opportunity to invite Wan Shenglongwang and his daughter, along with Jiu Tou Chong, to a banquet. During the banquet, amidst the clinking of glasses, the student Jiu Tou Chong was extremely enthusiastic, his eyes constantly glancing at Wan Shenglongwang.

Qin Feng knew that these two exceptional individuals were bound to have a story, so he simply dragged Wan Shenglongwang along to the side hall, giving the two young people some space to spend time together.

Old Dragon Wansheng was sensible enough to leave with Qin Feng, letting the two young people be affectionate.

While Qin Feng and Lao Long were chatting, Lao Long got drunk and started talking about old stories from years past.

"Has Qin Jun ever heard of the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Of course, on the Investiture of the Gods Platform, Taigong conferred titles upon the gods, and all the deities received their titles, each performing their duties to maintain the order of heaven and earth."

"Qin Jun only knows one side of the story, not the other. This Investiture of the Gods is not an original creation; it was made by the patriarch based on the Myriad Demon Banner of Kunpeng, the demon master from the ancient Heavenly Court!"

"Is that so?"

"The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons and the Investiture of the Gods are two names: one is condemned as evil, the other as good. The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons is seen by the gods as the embodiment of all evil, the gathering of ten thousand demons. The Investiture of the Gods is a list bestowed by the gods, yet it is hailed as a representation of the proper order of heaven and earth. But ultimately, they are the same thing! They are simply meant to rectify the order of heaven and earth and solidify the hierarchy of gods and demons!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly looked at the old Dragon King in front of him with newfound respect. He had actually come to understand the different levels of class struggle. Indeed, there was a reason why the old Dragon King had lived so long!

Qin Feng asked, "What became of the Myriad Demon Banner and the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Hehe!" The old Dragon King, holding his wine cup, said to himself, "The world is ever-changing. To expect to secure eternal prosperity through temporary gains is simply asking for trouble. The Ten Thousand Demon Banner and the Investiture of the Gods are both destined to fail!"

"But there are always some gods in this world who are unwilling to give up. They are unwilling to see the Investiture of the Gods fade into obscurity, so they devised a new Heavenly Court, attempting to use the destiny of the old Heavenly Court to suppress the Investiture of the Gods, and then confer titles upon all the demons in the world, thus forever solidifying the status of the gods."

"But to establish a Heavenly Court, we first need to find the ruins of the previous Heavenly Court, right?"

"And this celestial ruin is hidden within the Banner of Ten Thousand Demons!"

"Hehe! They can't build a new Heavenly Court without the Myriad Demon Banner!"

Qin Feng listened to the old Dragon King's words and seemed to understand the implied meaning: "Is the Myriad Demon Banner still in this world?"

The old Dragon King laughed, "As long as the demons remain, the Myriad Demon Banner will naturally remain!"

"But to find the Myriad Demon Banner, one must achieve the same feat as the Demon Emperor Donghuang Taiyi Dijun, which is to make the demon race flourish and produce a Great Sage! After experiencing hardships and understanding the coldness and warmth of the human world, he becomes the Heavenly Emperor of the demon race. Only when he achieves his goal after suffering can the Myriad Demon Banner be condensed."

"This creates a problem: the gods want to obtain the Myriad Demon Banner, but they cannot tolerate the appearance of a powerful figure like Donghuang Taiyi Dijun! That would be a catastrophe for them!"

"Therefore, for so many years, the demon race has never been able to stand up, and similarly, the gods have not dared to openly attack the Heavenly Court, for fear of angering the demon race."

"After all, the demon race genuinely wanted to cultivate a great emperor. The last one who came closest to becoming a demon emperor was the demon race's ancestor, Yuan Futong!"

"Unfortunately, Yuan Futong was born at the wrong time and was killed by the patriarch. Otherwise, a demon emperor would have appeared in the North Sea and could have inherited the ancient Heavenly Court, and the scene of harmony between humans and demons during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period would have reappeared."

"Back then, there was no such thing as gods. During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, gods were always a minority and did not have the status they have today in the Three Realms."

Qin Feng listened to the old dragon's words and felt a deep sense of fear. If things had been allowed to develop as they were, the moment the monkey became a Buddha after going through so many hardships, the Demon Emperor's karma would have been divided between the Western Paradise and the Heavenly Court. In that case, the Ten Thousand Demon Banner would not have fallen into the monkey's hands and would have become someone else's spoils of war.

This clearly shows that the great calamity of Journey to the West had already begun during the time of the Investiture of the Gods.

I started planning a little too late.

Fortunately, it's not that we're afraid of finding out late, it's that we're afraid of not taking any action. We can just work a few more overtime shifts in the future.
