Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 710 - 714: Discussion_1

In all the heavens and myriad worlds, the All Clans and the human clan are mortal enemies. If one side grows strong, it will suppress the other without mercy. In the past, when the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court existed, the All Clans devoured and nibbled away at human territory. They constantly encroached on the living space of the human clan, forcing humans to operate only in the eastern starfield, never daring to step out. Stepping out of the eastern starfield meant being killed by the All Clans. But now, with the rise of the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, what methods would they adopt to deal with the All Clans?

Thinking of this, the powerful cultivators among the All Clans shuddered. Some strategically-minded powerhouses from the All Clans had already secretly dispatched agents to establish contact and discuss countermeasures. They all realized that the Red Dragon Starfield was undergoing a monumental change. Next, a period of turmoil would begin.

「Ten days later.」

In the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, within the Imperial Palace, Qin Wudao was dressed in imperial robes and wore an imperial crown. He emitted an irresistible imperial majesty, vast as the ocean, overwhelming and all-encompassing, deterring any direct gaze. Below him, the civil and military officials bowed respectfully, their faces beaming with joy.

"Today, the Qin Dynasty has two joyous occasions!" Qin Wudao declared loudly after the ceremonial rites concluded.

The civil and military officials were taken aback, exchanging puzzled glances. A great victory on the front lines is certainly one joyous occasion, but what could the other be?

Qin Wudao's authoritative voice echoed throughout the court, "Summon Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xiang Yu!"

BOOM!

The officials were slightly startled and turned their heads towards the entrance of the hall.

Under gazes filled with anticipation, respect, and nostalgia, four figures walked into the great hall.

Among them, two were elegant and scholarly, adorned with feather fans and silk headscarves. They possessed profound strategies, capable of encompassing the universe, and ambitions that could swallow heaven and earth.

The one on the far left was clad in armor, wielding the Hegemonic Spear, an unparalleled hegemonic aura erupting from him, capable of annihilating all existence and suppressing the cosmos.

The one on the right, dressed in a black robe, had a faint, enigmatic smile on his lips. His eyes were profound, glinting with a cold light, like a venomous serpent concealed in darkness, poised to deliver a fatal strike at any moment.

Zhuge Liang and the other three walked to the center of the hall and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

Qin Wudao raised his hand and said, "You may rise!"

Zhuge Liang and the others rose and turned to face the officials. There were familiar faces among them, as well as some new ones. They smiled and said, "Colleagues, it has been a long time!"

The civil and military officials quickly returned the courtesy. "Gentlemen, long time no see!" they replied.

With the precedent of Gui Guzi, Yan Yun's eighteen knights, and others having been resurrected, they were not overly surprised by the return of Zhuge Liang and the other three, though they felt somewhat wistful.

After a round of pleasantries, the court gradually quieted down.

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were reappointed as Prime Ministers, standing at the head of all officials.

Xiang Yu joined the ranks of military commanders, standing beside Song Jiang.

Jia Xu still stood in a corner, very inconspicuous, yet no official in the court dared to underestimate his presence.

Qin Wudao continued, "Next is the second piece of good news." He then announced, "Luo Yi, leading Yan Yun's eighteen knights, has conquered the Extreme Demon Hall. Zhao Yun and Lv Bu, leading their armies, have also captured the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court!"

A great victory on the front lines!

Although this news had already circulated, hearing it affirmed once more still sent a tremor through the hearts of the civil and military officials. The Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Demon Hall were not minor powers; they were entities at the very pinnacle of the Red Dragon Starfield. Now, both had been vanquished by the Qin Dynasty's formidable forces.

From this day forward, the Qin Dynasty alone would reign supreme in the Red Dragon Starfield!

"The Qin Dynasty's development is accelerating!" an official from the Ministry of Punishments remarked.

At the same time, he felt immense pressure. As the country grows stronger, the demands on its court officials will inevitably become more stringent. If I wish to continue following His Majesty's footsteps and secure a place among these distinguished officials, I must improve my cultivation or enhance my governing abilities. If I choose to remain idle and only aim to get by, I will inevitably be eliminated sooner or later.

He was not alone in this sentiment; the other court officials also felt a sense of crisis. No one wanted to be left behind.

All the court officials knew clearly that as long as they followed Qin Wudao, they would surely stand at the pinnacle of the world. Even an ordinary official could surpass the so-called 'favored ones of heaven.'

Indeed, there were quite a few such officials. Take, for instance, the Temple Chief of the Ministry of Justice. He had been merely an ordinary man, for whom breaking through to the Immortal Realm seemed utterly impossible. But now, thanks to his unwavering loyalty and competence in handling matters, he had not only broken the barrier between mortals and immortals but had also advanced to the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Qin Wudao leaned lightly on his imperial throne, looking at the excited court officials with a smile, and said, "My beloved officials, let us now discuss our next course of action!"

Upon hearing this, the lively court temporarily quieted down.

The civil and military officials fell into deep thought. Having been in the Red Dragon Starfield for some time, they understood the relationship between humans and the All Clans. Now that the Qin Dynasty held the upper hand, it was natural that the All Clans would be suppressed. This was beyond doubt and would greatly benefit the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court.

After a brief moment, a minister stepped into the center of the hall, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this humble servant suggests a strategy: win over one group, suppress another, and eliminate a third. This way, we can gradually take control of the Red Dragon Starfield."

This plan was sound and conventional.

Qin Wudao listened without expressing support or opposition.

The issue at hand was not just the internal affairs of the Red Dragon Starfield; Qin Wudao also had to consider the All Clans in the surrounding Starfields. If we suppress them too harshly, the All Clans in the surrounding Starfields will undoubtedly retaliate. They might even put pressure on the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court. But if our suppression is too light, we will be dissatisfied, especially considering how unscrupulously and relentlessly the All Clans oppressed the human race when they had the chance.

"Your Majesty, the All Clans have long harbored the intent to exterminate the human race. This humble servant advises enforcing severe punishments!" Jia Xu stepped forward at this moment and declared.

Severe punishments! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia's hearts tensed, but they remained silent.

"Explain in detail!" Qin Wudao raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

In previous court assemblies, Jia Xu had often remained inconspicuous, rarely speaking except on matters of intelligence. His speaking out proactively this time was rather unusual.

What Qin Wudao didn't know was that a person who had experienced death would inevitably undergo some change in mindset. The Jia Xu of the past, though matchless in wisdom and strategy, had been cautious. He preferred to safeguard his own interests. This led him to always operate from behind the scenes, viewing the world from a detached, third-party perspective, watching the rise and fall of all things. However, after experiencing death, his mindset had changed. My talent should not remain hidden. I must exert all my effort to strengthen the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court!

"Your Majesty," Jia Xu began, his voice steady, "after my resurrection, I studied the histories of the myriad worlds and found that in recent years, conflicts between the human race and other races have become increasingly frequent. In this kill-or-be-killed struggle, there can be no room for pity or leniency. Now that we have the upper hand, we must press this advantage to completely control the Red Dragon Starfield! Furthermore, the human race throughout the myriad worlds is not weak. The better the Qin Dynasty performs, the more attention we will attract from the upper echelons of the human race! Only by attracting the attention of the human race's upper echelons, and by convincing them that the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court is valuable—capable of leading the human race to greater strength—will they offer their unreserved support!"

Jia Xu spoke with conviction, a fierce glint in his eyes, as he bowed and reported, "This humble servant proposes that we seize all Minor Worlds belonging to the All Clans within the Red Dragon Starfield and banish their inhabitants to ordinary worlds!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into a deathly silence. The civil and military officials stared wide-eyed, in utter disbelief.

Seizing the Minor Worlds of the All Clans! That's pushing the All Clans to utter destruction!
