Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change-Chapter 174
Chapter 174: The Emperor’s Return?
For humanity, the Celestial Sacred Realm was a name that carried sacred meaning.
To enter the Celestial Sacred Realm was to achieve ultimate glory.
However, since the arrival of the Divine Revelation System, only a select few had ever ascended to that realm—becoming true deities.
Among them were several ancestors of the Qin Family.
The Divine Revelation System had given humanity infinite possibilities for advancement. But at the same time, it had also shackled humanity’s limits in the real universe.
Anyone who reached a certain threshold of power would inevitably receive an “invitation”—And be taken to the Celestial Sacred Realm.
This meant that no human could ever surpass the set “red line” in strength while remaining in the real universe.
Why? Because the Divine Revelation System itself needed to protect its own authority. This was why the Qin Family sought to control the system.
If they didn’t take control of the Divine Revelation Terminal, they would forever remain mere pawns in its game. To some, being a part of the system was no curse.
– They would gain eternal life.
– They would become gods.
– They would hold absolute power within the system itself.
But to the Qin Family, that wasn’t enough. Because the Celestial Sacred Realm was completely isolated from the real universe.
And within the Divine Revelation Core, Qin Xian could still sense the will of his ancestors…
The Qin Family’s plan to seize control of the Divine Revelation System had been in motion for generations.
The previous Qin ancestors who ascended to godhood were merely part of this long-term strategy.
As Qin Xian sat deep in thought, Qin Li gazed at him with admiration.
She loved her brother. Especially when he was like this—thinking deeply, radiating an aura of absolute dominance.
He was so incredibly handsome. But what made her happiest was that—She could help him.
Her latest ability had awakened—[Instant Death], a skill that would be invaluable in the Divine-Demon Trial.
Meanwhile, Wen Yu was preparing to leave the Imperial Capital and return to the Eastern Military.
Many had assumed that after the political storm, she would have been completely purged.
Yet, against all odds—She had emerged unscathed. Before leaving, she held a small funeral for her brother, Wen Xu.
The ceremony was private, attended only by members of the Regent’s faction. At the funeral, Wen Yu didn’t wail or scream.
But the devastation on her face—the look of absolute sorrow—was so real that no one doubted the depths of her pain. She even fainted from grief at one point.
Before departing, Lu Ji summoned Wen Yu. Given the chaos in the capital, he wanted to ensure that the Eastern Military wouldn’t face any further complications.
Within the Regent’s Office, Lu Ji gazed at his disciple, sighing softly, “Don’t dwell on Wen Xu’s death too much.”
Wen Yu nodded silently.She didn’t need to say anything—her expression alone conveyed all the sorrow necessary.
Lu Ji continued, “The Military Affairs Bureau is now under our control. From now on, the Eastern Military will no longer be restrained by the Military Department.”
The Military Affairs Bureau was responsible for all personnel appointments, promotions, and command restructuring within the Imperial Military.
For years, the Eastern Military had been suppressed by the Military Department.
– Officers had been denied promotions.
– Generals had been forced to hold high positions under lower ranks.
– The entire command structure had been thrown into disarray.
But now, that oppression was over. With Lu Ji’s faction in control of the Military Affairs Bureau, the Eastern Military could finally operate freely.
Even after securing power, Lu Ji did not seem relieved.
Because so had the Qin Family and having fought against Qin Ming for so many years, Lu Ji knew how the Qin Family operated.
If they had been completely locked out of the Military Department, that would have been one thing.
But now that they had forced their way in—They would slowly infiltrate and consume the institution like a virus.
Now that Qin Xian’s faction had secured a foothold in the military, their influence would only continue to grow. Lu Ji’s burden had just gotten heavier.
“The Qin Family won’t stop at the Military Department. They will come for the Eastern Military as well.” Lu Ji’s voice was stern, “Be careful.”
Wen Yu nodded seriously, replying firmly, “I understand, Teacher. I will remain vigilant.” freeweɓnovel-cøm
Then, after a brief pause, she added, “Have there been any updates on the Emperor’s whereabouts?”
Lu Ji hesitated for a moment. Then, trusting his disciple, he nodded, “Just two days ago, we received confirmation that our advance team has located the general coordinates of the Dimensional Prison.”
He handed her a classified document. As Wen Yu opened it, her eyes widened in shock, “This is… much faster progress than we anticipated!”
Lu Ji let out a rare smile, nodding in agreement. This was, without a doubt, one of the few good pieces of news they had received in a long time.
If the Emperor returned—Everything would change.
Wen Yu’s voice softened, “If needed, the Eastern Military will fully support the operation.”
Lu Ji nodded. The Eastern Military was his most powerful asset, and once the Emperor returned, they would be the first forces he could directly command.
After a long discussion, Wen Yu finally took her leave.
As she left the Regent’s residence, Wen Yu’s convoy drove into an underground shelter—an area completely shielded from surveillance.
She stepped out of her car, walking toward a luxurious vehicle hidden in the shadows.
Opening the door, she looked inside—And there sat Qin Xian. The moment she saw him, her eyes filled with fiery devotion.
She fell to one knee, bowing her head reverently.
“Master.” Her voice trembled with worship, as if she would gladly die for him at any moment.
Qin Xian’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. The Ancient God’s Pest—the ability inherited from his mother’s bloodline—Was truly an incredible power.
Wen Yu respectfully presented a sealed document to Qin Xian.
As he opened it, his eyes darkened slightly. So, the Regent’s faction had already advanced their search for the Emperor faster than expected.
Unfortunately for them…Now that Wen Yu belonged to him—All of their efforts were meaningless.
