Chapter 1160 Moving Towards Clarity
Divine Domain, Changmao Prefecture.

In the night, Changmao Prefecture was brightly lit and still prosperous. It did not seem to be afraid of the upcoming war. Sixty-four wise men emerged in this imperial examination. Although they were all young men and it was difficult for them to make achievements on the battlefield for the time being, these were all signs of the rise of the nation's fortune.

A rumor began to circulate throughout the divine realm.

Because this imperial examination was pure and fair, several reclusive masters from the divine realm have entered the Golden Palace and are being treated with great favor by His Majesty.

These reclusive masters are at least at the Limitless Realm. As for whether any of them have reached the Limitless Sea of ​​Bitterness, no one knows. Furthermore, no one knows whether any of these reclusive masters possess a peerless talent comparable to Gu Yong of the human race.

That's how rumors are; once they spread, they'll generate all sorts of interpretations.

Some believe that a peerless powerhouse, no weaker than Gu Yong, has emerged in the Divine Realm.

Some people believe that the peerless expert who was no weaker than Gu Yong actually came from the Chaos Space and also mastered the Chaos True Essence.

Various rumors circulated in the streets and even within the military camps.

Such a rumor naturally boosted the morale and national fortune of the divine army.

If you have confidence in your heart, you will naturally not be afraid.

Conversely, the internal affairs of the human race have just come to an end, and a prime minister who will be remembered for all time has died. In comparison, the internal affairs of the divine realm are naturally superior.

Inside the Marshal's Mansion.

The bright flame stone on the candlestick emitted a grand yet soft halo, illuminating the entire mansion. At a glance, it was as bright as day. Naturally, the mansion was spacious and elegant, with a magnificent and bright architectural layout.

In the main hall.

Ji Nan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face full of worry.

Luo Fu sat to the side, looking somewhat helpless, at a loss for words.

The morale was indeed high, but the news that several Lingxiao-level soul masters had suddenly appeared under Yuwen Jun's command was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Ji Nan, whose state of mind was still relatively good.

If it were just an ordinary soul magic user, Ji Nan wouldn't care.

However, even within the Demon Realm, there are not many Soul Masters at the Lingxiao level.

This time, however, several Soul Masters at the Lingxiao level appeared.

It wasn't that Ji Nan lacked confidence, but rather that the news appeared at an inopportune time. The gods and demons were about to sign a formal alliance, and at this critical juncture, a soul mage had unexpectedly emerged from Yuwen Jun's ranks.

Luo Fu sighed and said, "Aside from this matter, there is another slightly strange thing."

"Back then, the descendants of the gods and the descendants of the demons engaged in a life-or-death battle on the border, vying for the source of the Heavenly Fire. On that occasion, Yuwen Jun, in his capacity as Cang Mo, helped the demons obtain the source of the Heavenly Fire."

"Before the great war began, Yuwen Jun was a friend of the Demon Clan."

Upon hearing this, Ji Nan's expression gradually darkened.

Luo Fu glanced at Ji Nan's unpredictable expression and said in a low voice, "However, the soldiers are unaware that we are about to begin a period of communication with the Demon Clan."

Ji Nan suddenly smiled, gazed at Luo Fu, and said, "Over the years, you have clashed with the soul masters of the demon race many times, and even had the upper hand at one point."

"But they have never clashed with a soul master at the Lingxiao level."

"Fortunately, our overall strategy this time is to adopt a defensive posture."

"If we were to engage in a direct confrontation, we would inevitably suffer losses."

“Even if I adopt a defensive stance, I will still feel uneasy.”

"I cannot speculate on what those soul practitioners are thinking, nor can I predict what Yuwen Jun is thinking, but one thing is certain: the Queen of the Demon Realm will inevitably become a match for ten thousand men on the front lines."

Suddenly, an aura appeared in the main hall without warning. Immediately afterwards, a peerless general clad in platinum armor arrived before the two.

Ji Yong has arrived.

Upon seeing this, Ji Nan and Luo Fu quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Commander."

Ji Yong first snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "There's no need for such formalities among the three of us."

"His Majesty has learned that Yuwen Jun has a soul-wielding practitioner among his men."

"Therefore, His Majesty specifically summoned me here to oversee the overall situation in Changmao Prefecture. His Majesty has already issued a clear decree: the strategic approach for this mission can be summarized in four words: Immovable as a mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Nan's face flushed red. He wished he could tear Yuwen Jun to pieces, but this time he chose to remain unmoved.

Are we really going to let this little kid suppress the morale of the entire divine army?
Ji Yong glanced at Ji Nan's face, snorted disdainfully, and then, with lightning speed, slapped Ji Nan hard across the face.

The surging force immediately caused Ji Nan to stagger back a few steps, and he felt dizzy.

"This is war, not a fight of egos. Just as Your Majesty predicted, you are still angry!" Ji Yong's eyes were like a cold pool, and he said with a look of disappointment.

The intense pain and guilt gradually calmed Ji Nan down.

Ji Yong then looked at Luo Fu and said, "We don't need to rush. It's Yuwen Jun who should be in a hurry."

"The Demon King is about to march south and join forces with Mu Chun to launch a strong attack on Tie Mang City."

"His Majesty will also secretly intervene to assist the demon army in breaking through the field built with Holy Spirit Stones."

"A single fierce battle is enough to bring down the so-called three-race alliance."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fu was completely stunned.

"What? His Majesty is actually going to lead the army in person?" Luo Fu asked incredulously.

Ji Yong's brows were furrowed, and his eyes seemed to hold the power of a raging flood. He gritted his teeth and said, "There are many mysteries that have not yet been solved."

"The general trend of the world can gradually become clear as the war progresses."

"But there is one thing that has always been puzzling."

"Where exactly are the remaining Origin Chips?"

Luo Fu, Ji Nan's expression gradually darkened. It is now known that the Demon Realm has one Origin Chip, the God Realm has one Origin Chip, and there is no news about the other three Origin Chips from beginning to end.

Legend has it that by gathering five Origin Chips, one can enter the Land of Origin, reshape the universe, and unleash countless possibilities with a single thought.

Whether this rumor is true or false, no one knows.

But there is one thing that most people know: both the God Emperor and the Demon Queen relied on the power of the Origin Chip to quickly recover from their injuries.

However, the two individuals differed in their mastery and strength of the power of origin.

"What Your Majesty cares about is the Origin Chip. Since the start of the Great Conflict, there have been great battles between the human race and the demon race, as well as between the god race and the demon race. Even within the Chaos Space, there was a monarchical war."

"Only within the territory of the Spirit Race has a great war that has influenced the course of history."

"Judging from the signs, the remaining three Origin Chips must be in the hands of someone with ulterior motives. However, given the current situation, it is not yet time for those with ulterior motives hiding in the depths of darkness to reveal their true colors."

"As long as we create an opportunity for His Majesty to gather the five Origin Chips, even if the Demon Lord awakens from his slumber, it will be in vain."

"Of course, His Majesty's personal assistance to the Demon Army is also related to Yuwen Jun. His Chaotic Emperor Qi has reached the Lingxiao Realm, and he cannot be allowed to continue to grow. Since the Demon Lord has not yet awakened, His Majesty chose to assist the Demon Clan, leaving Yuwen Jun to be attacked from both sides!"
