140: A god belonging to Kyushu.

"Why would the Celestial Race appear in the Wildfire Secret Realm?"

Shangjing City, Council Hall.

Lin Xuan stared intently at the projection, a look of worry in his eyes.

"It's obvious, the Wildfire Secret Realm has been invaded." Zhang Lingxiao extinguished his Karma and smiled.

Si Zhenfeng was somewhat speechless.

At a time like this, this Dao Heavenly Emperor could still smile.

Being drawn into a Secret Realm was already a near-death experience.

And now encountering the Celestial Race, the situation was even more dire.

The Celestial Race are the favored race of the Gods.

This race has three branches: Spartan, Amazon, and Viking.

Their racial talent is even more powerful than elves and orcs, on the same level as Western Dragons, and their initial Rank is even higher than Dragons.

Lin Xuan could still remain calm because he possessed the ability to tear through space.

If not for that, he would have already prepared a banquet.

And the main dish at that banquet... would definitely be you, Dao Heavenly Emperor, Zhang Lingxiao!

Seeing Lin Xuan's emotions stabilize, Si Zhenfeng didn't dare to say much more.

He looked at the projection again.

At this moment, Qin Yang had already summoned a large number of Golden Armor Warriors.

That chilling scene once again sent a shiver down Si Zhenfeng's spine.

"Qin Yang's summons have no upper limit."

"With this alone, he can sweep across the world."

Si Zhenfeng had thoroughly studied every one of Qin Yang's battles.

He had made assessments of the strength of his summons.

Each Golden-Armored Warrior possessed the attributes of a Grandmaster Tier Professional, only their skills were somewhat singular.

But in the face of numbers, this was not a disadvantage at all.

In large-scale melee combat, many skills couldn't be used.

A vast number of soldiers, powerful individual attributes, accurate battlefield intelligence... these were the key factors that determined the outcome of a War.

And as summons... these Golden Armor Warriors could be endlessly Reborn.

Coupled with the characteristic of many appearing on the same screen, they were an Undead Legion!

"Sufficiently powerful, capable of dispersing in all directions, and absolutely loyal military force..."

"The three essential elements for establishing centralized power are now complete!"

Si Zhenfeng's breathing became a little rapid.

At this moment, he had already realized... Qin Yang possessed the ability to unify the Jiuzhou Federation.

"No, not a Federation." Si Zhenfeng shook his head secretly.

In this world, the so-called "federal system" was a compromise, a concession to aristocratic families and separatist forces.

Without absolutely overwhelming strength, one could not manage Professionals; this was a truth summarized by countless people with blood.

But what Jiuzhou needed was a powerful Empire.

Only an Empire united in purpose could fully mobilize military power and embark on the journey to the sea of stars.

This absolutely required military power capable of challenging all aristocratic families alone.

No one had achieved this in 500 years.

The most promising to do so was probably Qin Yang.

Amidst his surging thoughts, Si Zhenfeng's heart was pounding.

When he looked at the projection again, the battle had already begun.

Thousands of Spartan warriors were charging.

In the real world, this would be a disaster.

Their danger level definitely exceeded that of Dragons.

The military Professionals of the Jiuzhou Federation were mostly between Rank 40 and Rank 60.

Most officers were between Rank 61 and Rank 90.

As for Hero Rank, those were great generals guarding a province.

To deal with these 1,000 Spartan warriors, Jiuzhou would have to deploy at least two to three elite regiments, which would not only require Hero Rank generals but also support from heavy magic-guided weapons.

However.

Qin Yang alone, managed these 1,000 Spartan warriors.

The golden divine weapon descended like a laser, taking out one opponent at a time, blasting the high-offense, high-defense Spartan warriors into a bloody mist.

The Golden Armor Warriors, moreover, could form formations and launch coordinated charges.

Like a meat grinder, they caused the Spartan warrior's formation to collapse.

With just one round of engagement, the outcome of the battlefield was decided.

Those brave Spartan warriors had their formation completely disrupted, being split and encircled by the Golden Armor Warriors.

And Qin Yang merely stood with his hands behind his back, atop the dragon carriage.

He had his hands in his pockets, completely unaware of what an opponent was.

"Qin Yang's individual combat power already exceeds three elite regiments."

"It's been less than three months since his Professional Awakening..."

"If you say he's not Heaven-Defying, I wouldn't believe it."

Si Zhenfeng took a deep breath, grateful that he had made the correct choice.

Just then, Lin Xuan let out a soft "Eh?" and said, "These Spartan warriors are summons."

"Summons? Spartan War Souls?"

Si Zhenfeng was startled.

If it were just encountering Spartan warriors, that would be fine.

But these were Spartan War Souls... summons!

One who could summon 1,000 War Souls could only be the God behind the Celestial Race, the God of War.

Unlike the low-key and subtle nature of other Gods, the hot-tempered God of War not only enjoyed causing trouble everywhere but also liked to bully the weak, slaughtering Mortals with his divine body.

This kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.

A hundred years ago, when the Jiuzhou Federation resisted the invasion of the "Celestial Race Vikings," it was crushed by the God of War, losing large swathes of territory and resulting in the fall of 3 Monarch Tier Professionals.

Now, the appearance of Spartan War Souls in the Wildfire Secret Realm clearly indicated that the God of War was causing trouble, and perhaps he was even watching this battle at this very moment.

Thinking of this, Si Zhenfeng was very anxious.

He certainly didn't want to see the future master of Jiuzhou fall in the Secret Realm.

He looked at Zhang Lingxiao very seriously:

"Saint Zhang, stop being so mysterious!"

"Can you just speak plainly?"

"Was Qin Yang being drawn into the Secret Realm a trap set by the Celestial Race?"

"And what exactly is the auspicious sign you mentioned?"

"Heaven's secrets must not be revealed."

Zhang Lingxiao sighed and said, "I can only explain one thing: it wasn't the God of War who pulled Qin Yang into the Secret Realm, but our God of Jiuzhou."

Hearing this, Si Zhenfeng was stunned: "Our God of Jiuzhou?"

Currently, there are eight confirmed orthodox Gods.

They correspond to professional powers such as Holy Light, Elements, and Beast Taming, and their background settings are all derived from Western myths and legends.

Western fantasy professions like Druids and Mages dominate the world.

Of course, Gods with Eastern settings definitely exist.

Otherwise, there would be no Eastern-style professions like Sword Immortals and Daoists.

Hearing that Qin Yang was drawn into the Secret Realm by a God of Jiuzhou, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up with excitement.

Combining this with Zhang Lingxiao's mention of an "auspicious sign," he had already realized that Qin Yang had encountered a tremendous Opportunity.

He asked Zhang Lingxiao, "Daoist, why do you say our Gods have to hide in the dark?"

Zhang Lingxiao lit another Karma stick.

After a puff of smoke, he said, "To the world, they are invaders."

...Nine Li Wildfire.

Qin Yang, standing on the dragon carriage, was bathed in a golden light.

After dealing with over a thousand Spartan War Souls, his Rank reached 48.

The improvement was not significant, but the prompt that appeared before his eyes filled his heart with ecstasy.

[All Attributes +5.]

[You gained 10 free attribute points.]

[You obtained the Professional Skill: Imperial Conferment.]

"A new skill!"

Qin Yang's eyes gleamed.

The power of the Supreme Emperor came from a series of abnormal skills.

Every time he gained a skill or a skill leveled up, his strength would increase significantly.

"I wonder what kind of gameplay Imperial Conferment will have."

"Could it be that I can strengthen others through conferment?"

Qin Yang speculated in his mind, opened his personal panel, and looked at the skill description.

[Professional Skill]: Imperial Conferment Lv.1.

[Description]: By consuming Imperial Power, you can confer an official position upon a target. Different official positions have different templates, and the higher the official position, the stronger the template.

"Confer an official position upon a target..."

"It's not limited to Professionals and monsters???"

Qin Yang was startled.

This skill might be Heaven-Defying!!!
