405: Elf civilization, a huge threat!

Looking at the twelve Professionals before him, Zhang Lingxiao was utterly bewildered.

Why do humans revere gods?

Isn't it because gods can bestow professional power upon humans?

Now, the Supreme Divine Emperor can already do this, and it seems so effortless.

This means that, if he wishes, he can turn all ordinary people in Shenzhou into Professionals!

How enormous a number is that?

Coupled with the Infinite Training Ground, which allows for 'rapid leveling up,' Shenzhou could produce hundreds of millions, even a billion Professionals in a short time!

Even if they were all just level 30, they could sweep across the entire world!

"This is absolutely incredible!"

Zhang Lingxiao, rarely this excited, said to Qin Yang, "Your Majesty, with this ability, why not hold a Grand Ceremony of Deification? The title of Emperor doesn't do you justice."

Qin Yang was amused by Zhang Lingxiao and replied, "Isn't there a 'Divine' in Divine Emperor?"

"Haha! Indeed!" Zhang Lingxiao suddenly realized, "I thought Divine Emperor just sounded cool, who knew you'd actually make it real!"

Qin Yang said, "The ability to bestow professions should not be revealed to the public for now."

Zhang Lingxiao nodded, indicating his understanding.

Turning ordinary people into Professionals—what a temptation that is!

If ordinary people from other countries knew about this ability, wouldn't they all flock to Shenzhou?

Even some weaker neighboring countries would tear down their border markers and voluntarily join Shenzhou.

At that point, Shenzhou's border lines would be incredibly busy.

Moreover, would the ruling classes of other countries just stand by and watch all this happen?

Ordinary people are the lifeblood of a nation.

If everyone runs off to your Shenzhou, what would be left for anyone else to play with?

Since they couldn't play anymore, they would surely flip the table!

The best approach is to silently build up forces first.

Once there are enough Professionals to defend the border, it wouldn't be too late to declare War on the whole world.

Fun, truly fun!

Zhang Lingxiao seemed to see a world reshuffling, a scene of great chaos, his eyes filled with longing... Meanwhile, in Hongwu City, at the Supreme Divine Emperor's former residence, in the curator's office.

"What? I've been laid off???"

Han Chen sprang up from the sofa, his face filled with shock.

After causing a ruckus at the Supreme Divine Emperor's former residence, Han Chen and Qin Chuan were invited to the office by Chen Si, the former butler of the Qin Residence and now the museum curator.

At the same time, the museum announced its closure and called in the city defense army to enforce martial law.

Curator Chen Si, in this very office, introduced the two to the events that had transpired over the past six months.

During the explanation, the emotionally fragile Qin Chuan repeatedly looked like he was about to faint.

What?

My son is a Grandmaster?

He single-handedly took care of a sky carrier?

What?

My wife was promoted to Emperor Tier?

Even her profession advanced to the Legendary rank?

What?

My son became a Sage?

He repelled three great natural disasters in the Battle of Shangjing City?

Huh?

What does 'achieving Emperor Rank in one step' mean?

So... Kyushu was destroyed by him just like that???

Amidst this wave after wave of shock, Qin Chuan's eyes became unfocused.

His original dream was to conquer a territory for Lin Xiaoer and Qin Yang in this Kyushu, where heroes competed for dominance.

But now, he realized that at home, besides his younger brother, he was the weakest!

But his younger brother had already given up the path of a Professional.

So, the real clown was himself!

Of course, in the curator's office, Qin Chuan wasn't the only clown.

Han Chen was too.

To help Kyushu obtain the river diagram of the heavens, he had wandered in other worlds for more than ten years.

His formerly obese figure had slimmed down to merely plump.

Now that the river diagram of the heavens was obtained, but you're telling me I'm no longer a Sage?

Han Chen was furious and argued with Chen Si:

"Let Si Zhenfeng come here!"

"I want to ask him why he laid me off!"

"Yes, I did slack off a bit."

"I used the excuse of searching for the river diagram of the heavens and traveled around for decades."

"But tell me, did I find it or not!"

"Not only did I find the river diagram of the heavens, but I also brought back the Retired Emperor for you!"

"How can I be laid off for that???"

"No, buddy," Qin Chuan interjected at this point, "If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't be in this state."

Upon hearing this, Han Chen's face flushed, and he waved his hand, saying, "Hey, we've traveled through so many worlds and shared hardships; let's not dwell on such minor details."

Then, he put his arm around Qin Chuan's shoulder and said, "Retired Emperor, Sage Chuan, please put in a good word with His Majesty, can you get my Sage seat back?"

"This..." Qin Chuan hesitated, "It depends on whether he still listens to me."

Han Chen said, "Of course he listens, you're his father."

"What does being his father matter?" Qin Chuan shook his head, "When he was level 45, he could control his old man with one hand. Now he's level 180... I don't even know who's the father anymore..."

At this moment, Qin Chuan truly didn't know how to face Qin Yang.

Just then, a voice echoed in everyone's ears.

[The Supreme Divine Emperor has arrived!]

Immediately, a spatial vortex materialized out of thin air in the curator's office.

A man dressed in a gold and silver Dragon robe, with moonlight and sunlight alternating around him, stepped out from it.

The moment his foot touched the ground, a subtle wisp of pressure was inadvertently released, making everyone present feel as if they were at the bottom of the ocean, bearing immense pressure.

Witnessing the scene before him, Qin Chuan was immediately assaulted by forgotten memories.

Back then, after he and Lin Xiaoer got together, Lin Xuan had also stepped out of the Void Realm like this, bringing with him an immense sense of oppression.

His first words upon seeing him were: "Blondie, do you want to become a ghost flame?"

At that time, Qin Chuan almost died.

And now, the person stepping out of the Void Realm wasn't Lin Xuan, but he was even more powerful than Lin Xuan.

Fortunately, this time, he wasn't in mortal danger.

"Old man, why are you..."

The man who stepped out of the Void Realm immediately froze upon seeing the disheveled Qin Chuan and asked, "Did you join the Beggars' Sect?"

...Supreme Divine Emperor's Former Residence, Sage Chuan's Study.

The museum's office was too small.

And Qin Yang had secretly returned to Hongwu City.

So, he simply chose the old man's study to summon the current Retired Emperor and the former Sage Han.

Father and son's reunion did not involve any earth-shattering drama.

After all, in Qin Yang's eyes, Qin Chuan had only been gone for six months, and he had just reported his safety to Lin Xiaoer last month.

But for Qin Chuan... he hadn't seen his family, or even other humans, for five or six years.

This was all thanks to Han Chen, Sage Han.

However, Qin Yang's attitude towards Qin Chuan was still the same as before.

Not awe-struck, but very respectful.

The father and son's conversation was much like old times.

"You even went to the Elf Civilization!?"

Hearing that Qin Chuan's adventures included the Elf Civilization, Qin Yang became serious, "How would you rate the Elven race women?"

Qin Chuan thought seriously for a moment and said, "On average, about 8 points."

"They average 8 points?"

The Supreme Divine Emperor's gaze became solemn, and he said, "I believe this civilization poses a threat to humanity. It is necessary to take the initiative and conquer it!"

"Oh, you..." Qin Chuan spread his hands, indicating, 'That's so you.'

At this moment, Han Chen, who was beside them, saw an opportunity to be reinstated.

He said, "Your Majesty, if you wish to go to the Myriad Realms, you must have the river diagram of the heavens. Your subject endured hardships and searched for many years in other worlds precisely for this treasure!"

"The river diagram of the heavens!?"

Qin Yang's eyes lit up.

He had heard Zhang Lingxiao mention this item before.

He said that the river diagram of the heavens was the underlying structure of the Myriad Realms.

As long as the river diagram of the heavens was deciphered, the Myriad Realms would be revealed before one's eyes.

It could even deduce the entrances to the divine domains of the gods.

This was exactly what Qin Yang needed.

With this, he could proactively attack the God of War, the God of Elements, and even the Omniscient Eye.

He immediately said to Han Chen, "Sage Han, quickly present this treasure."
