177: Set off for the Four Realms

Soon, Gu Jixiao returned to the Saint Realm.

After returning to the Saint Realm, Gu Jixiao stayed by the side of the three women. After all, they were currently pregnant, and since he was a first-time father with nothing else pressing to do, staying with them was the best thing he could do.

On the other side, Wang Xuan and the other Late Stage Immortal Venerables quickly organized the army.

Just before their departure, Gu Jixiao appeared before them.

Looking at the grand and imposing army before him, Gu Jixiao showed a look of satisfaction. He nodded and spoke with an extremely serious tone to give his instructions.

"You have only one mission this time: while ensuring your own safety, expand the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty into the other worlds."

"On the way, if you encounter any forces unwilling to submit, first try to reform them. If they do not accept our reformation, then cremate them all."

Gu Jixiao's philosophy of rule had always been ruthless; he wanted his voice to be the only one heard under the heavens.

However, he was not a tyrant, so he would give those forces a chance—a chance to accept his rule. If they were unwilling to accept, it wouldn't be too late to cremate them then.

Hearing Gu Jixiao's words, Wang Xuan and the other seven Late Stage Immortal Venerables nodded in agreement. Their figures flickered as they vanished, rushing toward the respective worlds they were to descend upon.

Watching their departing figures, Gu Jixiao's expression couldn't help but turn somewhat solemn.

Beside him, Chen Guchuan bowed low and spoke.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Senior Wang and the others are all top-tier existences; they will certainly not disappoint you."

"The Imperial Dynasty will surely become the most powerful existence in the Myriad Heavens and Realms."

"Mm. Minister Chen, go and bring Beloved Minister Li and Beloved Minister Lin to me."

Gu Jixiao nodded, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Chen Guchuan to give his orders.

"The Main Court is currently in dire need of manpower. Have them all come here."

Those Gu Jixiao spoke of were naturally Li Xuan and Lin Zilong.

When Gu Jixiao left the Heavenly Saint Continent, he had only taken Chen Guchuan with him, saying he would bring Li Xuan and Lin Zilong once the time was ripe.

He had originally thought His Majesty was just being polite, but he hadn't expected His Majesty to actually mean it.

Nevertheless, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. This subject will bring them back very soon."

Having said that, Chen Guchuan's figure flickered as he rushed toward the Heavenly Saint Continent.

Although he now possessed the strength of an Immortal King Peak, it would still take some time to rush back to the Heavenly Saint Continent.

However, it was only a little time; it would take about three days to reach the Heavenly Saint Continent.

Speaking of that fellow Li Xuan, Chen Guchuan couldn't help but think of him. After all, back on the Heavenly Saint Continent, their bickering had fostered a bond between them.

Seeing that he would also be coming to the Saint Realm to work for His Majesty, Chen Guchuan naturally felt a bit of secret joy.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Saint Continent.

Under the rule of King Gu Ji, almost all forces in the Heavenly Saint Continent had declared their submission to the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. After all, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty had already displayed overwhelming power; they had no choice but to submit.

Inside his sleeping quarters, King Gu Ji looked up beyond the Heavenly Saint Continent, his heart filled with an uncontrollable sense of sorrow.
