I'm tired!
Looking at it this way, spending so many resources to nurture this little thing is not a loss.
Chaos sat on Chu Xinghe's shoulder, very curious about everything around it.
It looked left and right.
Chu Xinghe did not bother with this thing.
There was still serious business to attend to next.
He was still five billion away from the one billion destiny value.
He would reach it very soon.
At that time, he would be able to Breakthrough to a true Great Emperor.
A Great Emperor, indeed.
Even Chu Xinghe felt a bit of burning passion in his heart.
Right now, he only possessed the Soul of a Great Emperor.
Chu Xinghe summoned Bai Tu and the others.
"Follow in my footsteps; this time, I will act personally."
Upon hearing that Chu Xinghe would act personally, Bai Tu understood.
Chu Xinghe would handle the high-end combat power.
They would handle the cleanup.
"We obey the Celestial Emperor's order."
Chu Xinghe tore through the Void Realm and vanished.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived at Wuyou Prefecture.
He had not yet taken over the territory he had conquered.
Instead, others had beaten him to it.
How could one allow others to snore beside one's own bed?
Chu Xinghe also knew that while the battle was ongoing, some petty scoundrels had ambushed their Heavenly Palace.
However, they were shredded by the Feng Shui formation.
He didn't need to guess who these people were.
They were just trying to fish in troubled waters.
This time, what Chu Xinghe needed to do was to Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm as quickly as possible.
He would use this to expand rapidly.
As for Shui Prefecture and Jin Prefecture, if I cannot defeat them, can I not simply avoid them?
In a short amount of time, Chu Xinghe had already arrived at Wuyou Prefecture.
With the Soul of a Great Emperor combined with the power of the Void Realm.
Traveling did not waste much of his time or energy.
Otherwise, why would the ones occupying Wuyou Prefecture all be major factions?
Within a short time, Wuyou Prefecture had already been divided into eight regions.
Each region was occupied by a faction.
This was also the reason why other provinces dared not come over after finding out.
Behind these eight regions stood eight factions.
He arrived at the place bordering Kun Province.
Hundreds of millions of miles in radius had already been controlled by the Cangming Celestial Dynasty.
Clearly, the other factions were not fools.
They wanted to make the Cangming Celestial Dynasty clash with the Heavenly Court.
As for the underhanded dealings in between, Chu Xinghe did not want to ask.
After Chu Xinghe arrived.
He walked into the city.
A major battle had not taken place here.
The common people here seemed to have no strong opinion about who controlled them.
To them, they were just living their lives anyway.
Entering the city.
Chu Xinghe had already attracted the attention of quite a few people.
Wearing a white robe embroidered with gold, his hair hanging down, his phoenix eyes were as deep as an abyss.
Even while walking on the road, an aura of nobility radiated from him involuntarily.
Many people cleared a path.
Chu Xinghe turned a blind eye to all of this.
He had come to cause trouble in the first place.
What need was there for face?
Here, a city had already been renamed Cangming City.
Inside sat a young man, propping his head with his hand while reading a book.
Beside him were several maids attending to him.
Just at this moment, someone walked in.
"Your Highness, the tracks of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court have been discovered."
Upon hearing this, Third Highness put down his book and stood up.
His eyes filled with worry.
"I didn't expect him to actually come. Set up the formation, report to the Imperial Father, and have him prepare early."
The minister below nodded.
He had followed Your Highness here to govern this territory.
When the minister left.
A person walked out from behind.
Wearing fire-red armor, his figure tall and imposing, standing there, he was no different from a humanoid Vicious Beast.
Especially his pair of leopard eyes, which were Soul-stirring.
A timid person would be scared out of their wits with just one look.
"Grandfather!"
Cang Hai looked at the person wearing the armor, stood up, and called out.
Wei Yuan nodded, found a seat, sat down, and looked at Cang Hai, who was also his grandson.
"Do you know why the Imperial Monarch made you guard this place, instead of sending other princes?"
Cang Hai knew this was his grandfather's test for him.
Cang Hai took a deep breath.
"Everyone knows that no matter who guards this place, they will definitely fail. Even if my eldest brother came, it would be the same. The six major factions combined could not even breach the Heavenly Palace, so relying on our meager strength, it is very difficult to resist."
"The Imperial Father knows, and the ministers in the court know, yet he still sent me here. Everything is because I am your grandson."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I do not have the ability to guard this place, yet they still sent me here. Rather than saying they sent me here, it is better to say they are forcing Grandfather to come out."
"Mother definitely would not want to see me get into trouble and would surely beg Grandfather to act."
"Now that Grandfather has appeared here, it proves that this assessment is correct."
"In recent years, many people in the court have developed greedy hearts regarding the military power Grandfather holds."
"Even the Imperial Father is the same; he also wants to take back the military power, but he lacks a good reason."
"This time, Grandfather coming here can be said to be in violation of the Imperial Order, so they have a reason to take action."
"If we can hold this place, this matter can naturally be easily resolved. If we cannot hold it, when the time comes to lay blame, the Imperial Father will definitely seize this opportunity to take back the military power."
"As for holding this place, it is definitely a daydream. Let alone with Grandfather, even with the entire Cangming Celestial Dynasty, it would be difficult to hold."
"The Imperial Father still does this, simply because he has already reached a cooperation with the several factions occupying Wuyou Prefecture."
"The moment we fail, those several major factions will all make their move."
"It can also be considered a warning to the Heavenly Palace that Wuyou Prefecture is not something they can interfere with right now."
"The Imperial Father is still like this; for the sake of his goals, he can sacrifice anything."
"Even his son's life, or the Empire's Grand Marshal."
Hearing Cang Hai's words, Wei Yuan nodded; this kid wasn't bad.
As long as he could see through these motives, that was enough; he wouldn't end up a fool.
"Since you saw through it, why didn't you refuse?"
Wei Yuan believed that if Cang Hai had refused, the Imperial Monarch would have had no way to force him.
He had been the Grand Marshal of the Cangming Celestial Dynasty for so many years.
If it weren't for the Imperial Monarch supporting so many factions to oppose him.
He would be able to control eighty percent of the Cangming Celestial Dynasty's troops.
Even now, many of the battle generals were trained by him.
Alas!
"Grandfather, I am tired."
Wei Yuan looked into Cang Hai's eyes, wanting to see if he was faking it.
Cang Hai's eyes were filled with exhaustion.
"Grandfather should know that I never had any intention of sitting in that position from the beginning. I also do not want to fight for it. I even told Mother that I do not want to sit in that position; I want to be a free spirit."
"I am really tired. The woman I loved died, my sister who was only a month old died, and even the younger brother who was not yet born also died."
"Even when I was born, I was weak and sickly, and my path of Cultivation had already been cut off."
"No need to think; these were all done by him."
"Mother definitely knows too, but she has no way to stop it."
"Even my unborn younger brother and sister were killed by him."
"Everything was him. I know it all, but I dare not say it out loud."
"His principle is to stir up conflicts in the harem and make the several major Families in the Imperial City start disputes so that he can reap the benefits as the third party. However, what he did not expect was that the death of my younger brother and sister left Mother disheartened, and she would rather move to the cold palace than cooperate with his plans."
"This caused things to exceed his expectations. At this time, the Kunxu Celestial Dynasty was destroyed and replaced by the Heavenly Palace, and several major factions were also destroyed, so he saw hope again."
