Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The atmosphere within the imperial palace hall of the Jitu Dynasty was unsettling.

The hall was a mess, littered with debris, and a pool of bloody mud in the center reeked of gore.

The Jitu Emperor's face was gloomy, his chest heaving violently, gradually calming down as time passed.

Only then did the Jitu courtiers, sensing that his emotions were more stable than before, tentatively speak, "Your Majesty, please quell your anger! Your dragon body is of utmost importance. Do not harm yourself because of the Dawn Dynasty's ignorant provocations."

"Indeed, Your Majesty, you are the Jitu Emperor, wielding awe-inspiring imperial power, governing the rise and fall of billions of miles of territory! You are an established emperor, your prestige far surpassing that of the Dawn Dynasty. They are a newly emerged dynasty, ignorant of their limitations, excessively arrogant, and merely courting death."

"Your Majesty, this matter may temporarily cause the world to have unfavorable opinions of the dynasty and you, but it will also ridicule the Dawn Dynasty for overestimating itself. Now that the highest authority of the Dawn Dynasty has openly executed our Jitu Crown Prince and even had the Dawn Empress write that ridiculous imperial decree, our Jitu Dynasty has ample reason to launch an imperial war against them!"

"As long as our Jitu Dynasty's army conquers Qingzhou, slaughters the Dawn Dynasty, and suppresses the Dawn Dynasty's sovereign god, we can regain our honor and prestige! By then, the Dawn Empress will also be in our Jitu Dynasty's hands. How we deal with her will be at Your Majesty's discretion. She will surely pay a heavy price for her arrogance and ignorance!"

… …

The courtiers successively offered their advice, trying to appease the Jitu Emperor.

The Jitu Emperor's expression remained gloomy.

No one could understand his current mood. The Crown Prince's fate pained him, and as a father, he felt guilty. But as an emperor, his scheme had succeeded, giving him a reason to attack the Dawn Dynasty, and he felt joy.

The Dawn Dynasty's imperial decree insulted him and his empress, filling him with immense anger. All sorts of emotions surged within him.

He did not respond to the courtiers but turned and returned to the imperial throne, swiftly writing with his brush.

"Quickly send my imperial decree to the Grand Sacrificial Army Marshal and the lords of the great dynasties. This time, I want them to seize the entire Qingzhou at the fastest speed, slaughtering the Dawn Dynasty until rivers of blood flow, and every city must be massacred, with no living thing spared!"

The Jitu Emperor's words were cold and cruel, and his eyes were like those of a demon crawling out of the abyss.

"Yes!"

A minister stepped forward, received the imperial decree, carefully put it away, and then withdrew from the hall, leaving quickly.

… …

In the Eastern Territory Ancient City, in the back garden of a luxurious mansion.

Young Master Yu lazily reclined on a lounge chair, his clothes disheveled, revealing large patches of skin. Several beautiful women around him were caressing his exposed skin with their slender, fair hands.

Not far away, a middle-aged man was talking about the affairs between the Dawn Dynasty and the Jitu Dynasty.

"Interesting, that Jun Wuxie is truly wild, and the Dawn Empress is fierce enough to write such an imperial decree."

Young Master Yu's half-closed eyes were full of lustful light. He casually covered the of a beautiful woman next to him, squeezing his fingers hard, causing the woman to let out a delicate cry that was both painful and pleasurable, and he revealed a morbid smile.

"Borrowing the hands of others, although it has the feeling of strategizing and winning from afar, it is still not as enjoyable as doing it yourself. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, we can only do this for now. Soon, we will see Jun Wuxie's painful appearance. His dynasty is about to be destroyed, and the entire Qingzhou will become a living hell soaked in blood."

Young Master Yu sighed, but then let out a cold laugh.

"Jun Wuxie is, after all, young, unable to restrain himself, giving the Jitu Dynasty an opportunity. A war between dynasties is difficult for other forces to participate in. This is the iron rule set by the Heavenly Dao Academy in the Canglan Ancient Star. Since ancient times, any force has silently abided by it, not touching their red line. Facing the Dawn Dynasty that is about to be destroyed, Mu Ciyin and that talisman master cannot intervene even if they want to. The most they can do is take away some of the key figures."

The middle-aged man analyzed the situation. Whether it was him or Young Master Yu, they had undoubtedly sentenced the Dawn Dynasty to death, believing that the Dawn Dynasty would soon be destroyed, and Qingzhou would become a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.

A newly emerged dynasty, even if it has a strong person sitting in charge and a dragon vein as its foundation, does not have the ability to resist a war launched by an established dynasty, simply because the army of the newly emerged dynasty is too weak and needs time to develop.

Throughout the long years, all newly emerged dynasties have endured humiliation and been cautious, not giving other dynasties any reason or excuse, throwing their dignity into the abyss in order to gain space for development and growth, and strengthen their national power and army.

Under such circumstances, as long as they can withstand the attacks of the surrounding prosperous dynasties and grow step by step, they can secure their position at the dynasty level.

"Jun Wuxie is not an impulsive person." Young Master Yu shook his head, a wicked smile forming at the corner of his lips. "This person has extremely high intelligence; otherwise, he would not have been able to trick so many Hunyuan experts back then. It's just a pity that his weakness is also obvious, which is that he doesn't bow his head, his bones are too hard, and he values dignity more than anything else. It's easy to anger such a person and make him act recklessly."

"Young Master Yu is right. This person is just too proud. This time, destroying his dynasty and letting him see Qingzhou covered in corpses, I wonder if his Dao heart will collapse because of it."

"It would be too boring if it collapsed, not fun anymore. After his dynasty is destroyed, this young master will slowly play with him, watching him collapse bit by bit, watching him despair in pain and helplessness. What an exciting thing that would be, hahaha… …"

Young Master Yu laughed loudly, as if he had already seen Jun Wuxie, ruined and embarrassed after the fall of his country and family, forced into a desperate situation by him, with a face full of pain and despair.

… …

At the same time, in Heavenly Dao City in the Central Territory, at the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Within the Heavenly Dao Academy, there is a mountain peak that ordinary people cannot set foot on. Only the principals of the academy are qualified to set foot here.

This mountain peak is shrouded in mist and clouds, surrounded by colorful clouds, with lush and verdant trees, and the Holy Spirit Spring flows, making a tinkling sound. The scenery is extremely beautiful, and the environment is very quiet.

At the top of this mountain peak, there is a special stone platform, very ancient, with the weight of years deposited on it, and it is unknown how long it has existed.

The stone platform has mysterious laws, engraved with complex and profound runes.

These runes are intertwined and evolved, forming something similar to an eye.

The people of the Heavenly Dao Academy call it the Eye of Heaven.

At this time, the Eye of Heaven was emitting light, shining on a rune light curtain above the formation, which was like a huge mirror, and the images appearing inside were Qingzhou and the border of Qingzhou.

This Eye of Heaven is what the Heavenly Dao Academy uses to observe specific targets or areas.

"The Dawn Dynasty is really in trouble this time. That Jun Wuxie gave the Jitu Dynasty a completely legitimate reason to launch an imperial war. We can't intervene even if we want to."

A large number of management personnel from the Heavenly Dao Academy gathered in front of the formation, all watching the images in the mirror.

"Heavenly Dao Lord only asked us to provide convenience to the Dawn Dynasty when necessary, and the rest is none of our business. Let them have their dynastic disputes."

"Yes, as long as it is within the rules, it is nothing to do with us what they do. Besides, that Jun Wuxie is not simple. Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago? We were tricked by him, and he used us to extinguish the arrogance of the Starcloud Sect and the Teng Snake lineage of the demon race. Such a person, this time's behavior of his, who can say that it is just an act of venting anger without regard to the consequences because of excessive anger?"

"Hmph! That kid named Jun was really hateful that time!"

Mentioning that time a few years ago, the faces of the Heavenly Dao Academy management present were all ugly.

How many years have these people lived? They actually capsized in Qingzhou, were tricked by a young cultivator, played around, and used ruthlessly.

"Speaking of which, the change in Heavenly Dao Lord's attitude is also puzzling. That task ended for no reason, not to mention stopping halfway, she actually asked us to open the door of convenience for the Dawn Dynasty when necessary. What do you say, what is the origin of that Jun Wuxie of the Dawn Dynasty, that even Heavenly Dao Lord is biased towards him… …"

"Why are you speculating on Heavenly Dao Lord's thoughts again? What's that saying, the heavenly heart is unpredictable, how can we arbitrarily speculate on Heavenly Dao Lord's thoughts?"

Someone warned with a stern face, causing the other management of the academy to shudder and dare not continue the topic.

"Let the two great dynasties of Dawn and Jitu slaughter each other, as long as they do not violate the rules. But we must keep a close eye on the Fallen Red Dust behind the Jitu Dynasty, and we must never let their people directly participate in the war between the two great dynasties at any time!"

"This Fallen Red Dust has a deep foundation. In the past, they were very low-key about those opportunities, and they all acted under hidden identities. But in this era, they have directly come to the fore. According to the various clues we have learned, the destruction of the human world back then is very likely related to the Fallen Red Dust."

"It's a pity, the human world, such an ancient existence, with a long inheritance, was once so mysterious and powerful, cultivating the human world's way of killing, and its power was extremely strong. Who would have thought that it would eventually be destroyed by the Fallen Red Dust… …"

Someone sighed, feeling sorry for the destruction of the human world.

Although the human world cultivated the human world's way of killing, according to the secrets they learned, it was not as indiscriminate as the world spread. It had even resisted the darkness invasion more than once.

It's just that all the positive deeds about the human world have been artificially erased, and even many negative deeds about the human world have been fabricated.

The Heavenly Dao Academy secretly investigated for a long time and found many clues, but there was still no ironclad evidence, so it was impossible to clear the name of the human world in front of the world.

It seems that not only Fallen Red Dust, but also other forces participated in smearing the human world.

From this, it can be imagined that the mastermind who can participate in this matter must be an eternal-level force; otherwise, it would be impossible to collude with Fallen Red Dust.

This implies that the destruction of the mortal realm back then involved other eternal forces besides the Fallen Red Dust.

It's a pity that until now, they haven't been able to find out who those people were or which eternal forces were involved; they only know about the Fallen Red Dust.

…

In the imperial capital of Qingzhou, Jun Wuxie had already left the Eight Nine Profound Palace, but he was constantly monitoring Mu Ciyin's condition inside.

Mu Ciyin's condition is now relatively stable; she has completely suppressed her inner demon.

However, her inner demon is quite stubborn and is still resisting stubbornly, so she won't be able to overcome the inner demon tribulation for a while and needs time to slowly progress.

He can't continue to stay in the Eight Nine Profound Palace. As time goes on, many things will happen, and he must come out.

The newly established dynasty needs stronger cohesion.

As the founder of the dynasty, the god-like Jun, who is worshiped by the common people, he should lead the army in a personal conquest, crushing the invading enemies on the battlefield, and further consolidate and deepen his prestige in the dynasty.

For him, this is an excellent opportunity to enhance the dynasty's cohesion, and it should not be missed.

This is very important to him. He needs to establish prestige and needs their faith to prepare for the future when he will be at the peak of the Divine Realm and charging towards the legendary realm.

At that time, when opening up a universe god kingdom within his body, he will need the power of faith from all living beings. The more believers, the stronger the power of faith, the easier it will be to break through to the legendary realm, and the stronger his strength will be in the legendary realm.
