Sheng Fu

Jing Peiyao smiled sweetly, leaned close to Yuwen Jun, kissed him deeply, and asked, "Are you still sleepy?"

Yuwen Jun scoffed, "Isn't this a bit too perfunctory?"

Jing Peiyao smiled without saying a word, and in the blink of an eye, she traversed the void and departed, leaving Yuwen Jun alone in the same spot.

"A woman's mystery is nothing more than this," Yuwen Jun said with a disdainful smile.

But Yuwen Jun's expression gradually became serious, for he was still facing an extremely chaotic mess.

After taking Changmao Prefecture, the next step is Yonghe Prefecture.

In terms of geographical situation alone, Yonghe Prefecture is surrounded by a tributary of the Shenhua River, with a mighty river that would require a naval battle. Yonghe Prefecture has the advantage of natural barriers, making it a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If we launch a direct attack, the chances of winning aren't very high.

However, at this moment, Yuwen Jun was not concerned about whether he could successfully take over Yonghe Prefecture.

Even a small war can have far-reaching consequences.

However, this favorable situation cannot be maintained for long. If the Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor suffer severe injuries again, Yuwen Jun will have no choice but to use the power of origin.

In short, Yuwen Jun's advantage lies in his ability to heal or revive the wounded and the dead in a short period of time.

However, this advantage should not be displayed too frequently in front of the Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor.

Unbeknownst to him, Yuwen Jun had already vaguely become the sixth great monarch.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Jun felt very upset. He had to balance his new policies and the foundation of the human race, while also trying his best not to damage the harmony.

The alliance between the Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor was only out of necessity.

What they truly desire deep down is still to dominate the world.

However, if they were to split off on their own, establish a base in the Demon Realm, and form a separate Hengchang Army, they would inevitably appear weak and isolated.

All alliances are driven by self-interest.

Yuwen Jun longed to quietly perform his own solo act, but the course of history did not give him such an opportunity.

Yuwen Jun almost explicitly asked the Emperor and Emperor Ling to elevate her to a higher position, but she simply didn't have the courage to say it.

Perhaps once we reach the Limitless Realm, we can say it aloud.

But Yuwen Jun didn't know whether the two were willing to let him enter the Boundless Realm.

Although Senior Yan Lie's sudden visit and intervention temporarily put Yuwen Jun in a completely safe position, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Everyone thought that the Vermilion Bird, who possessed the Seven Killings True Essence, would protect Yuwen Jun when needed. But only Yuwen Jun himself knew that Senior Yan Lie would never make a move again before this great battle ended.

Whether you come or go, you can only rely on yourself.

With no safe haven to rely on, yet forced to fight, this is Yuwen Jun's biggest predicament at present.

After much deliberation, Yuwen Jun sent a message from afar, and a moment later, the Queen of the Demon Realm arrived.

Seeing Yuwen Jun's worried expression, Guangli subconsciously poured him tea and water, gently handing it to him and asking softly, "Is your situation worse than you imagined?"

Yuwen Jun took the teacup and sipped it, finding it somewhat bitter, much like his current mood.

"How have Taisheng and Nanxiu fared in their political endeavors lately?" Yuwen Jun asked softly.

Guangli was slightly suspicious, but she vaguely sensed that Yuwen Jun's aura was becoming increasingly heavy. She lowered her head and replied truthfully, "Very good. Now the internal affairs are stable and the system is perfect. Nanxiu is training troops and has won the trust of the soldiers of the Demon Realm."

Yuwen Jun hummed in agreement.

Since sending Nanxiu and Taisheng to the Demon Realm, he has never had to worry about them again.

In truth, even Yuwen Jun himself wasn't entirely sure of the true capabilities of this group of Lingxiao-level soul cultivators. All he could do was delegate as much authority as possible, allowing them to fully utilize their talents. Yuwen Jun swirled his teacup, his eyes fixed on the yellowish tea, and continued, "How is the balance of power in the factional struggles within the Demon Realm being maintained?"

Guangli gradually realized that things were not simple.

“There are still some factional disputes on a small scale, but with the war so intense right now, we can’t afford to worry about ideological conflicts. I can make decisions on my own, so I can make decisions on a large scale.” Guangli pursed her lips and said thoughtfully.

Yuwen Jun nodded.

Guangli suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes unusually bright, and took a deep breath before asking, "So, you're going to be independent?"

Yuwen Jun let out a long breath and said with a half-smile, "I don't know either."

"But if we continue to get entangled with the humans and the spirits, it will be detrimental to our overall situation."

"The God Emperor has already realized that I possess multiple Origin Chips."

"We have already captured Vast City, Frost Moon City, Taicang City, and Changmao Prefecture, and occupied a considerable portion of the Divine Realm. This is a huge advantage for the human army."

"But I still have the Hengchang Sect within the human realm, so the possibility of completely extricating myself from it is not very high."

"I'm a bit hesitant right now."

Guangli suddenly remembered a past event. She recalled that when she was about to hand over the Origin Chip of the Demon Realm to Yuwen Jun, he solemnly declined. Although he was somewhat hypocritical, wasn't this also a kind of strategic approach?

"Inform Taisheng and Nanxiu to make arrangements in advance and prepare for the cause of independence." Yuwen Jun finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The dragon race has always been taking advantage of the situation, but relying solely on external forces is not a sustainable strategy.

Upon hearing this, Guangli felt a surge of emotion and replied firmly, "I obey."

The Divine Emperor was already in a state of decline, and Yuwen Jun had little interest in the upcoming battles in the Divine Realm. After much thought, he still believed that Mu Chun from the Demon Realm posed the greatest threat.

Furthermore, no one can say for sure what state the Demon Lord is in now.

Yuwen Jun continued, "Dispatch Chief Xiu Shenzhu with 10,000 elite troops to support Tie Mang City."

"Remember, the scale must be enormous!"

Guangli responded firmly without any doubt: "I obey."

“I will also appear in Iron Manor City if necessary.”

Seeing Guangli so obedient, Yuwen Jun looked at her curiously and asked embarrassedly, "Don't you doubt my abilities? You are also the ruler of a country, why are you willing to obey my commands?"

"Although you are destined to be just a supporting character in this great struggle, you still have a slim chance to achieve great things."

Upon hearing this, Guangli smiled bitterly and said, "The bloodline of the dragon race is already superior to that of the demon race. Moreover, even a hero like you, who has never been seen before, finds it difficult to move forward. How much more difficult would it be for a weak woman like me?"

"I also admire your new policies, and I have already instructed my senior officials, such as Zun Hong, to subtly align themselves with them."

"Freedom and equality may be a joke to all living beings, but they are truly captivating."

"It is an honor for our Demon Realm to have a leader like you standing at the forefront."

Yuwen Jun immediately raised his head, feeling quite proud.

"Thank you. The battles that have taken place these past few days have truly exhausted me," Yuwen Jun said with a long sigh.

Guangli bowed slightly and smiled knowingly, saying, "In that case, I will go and make the preparations."

Yuwen Jun's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he sighed repeatedly, "No, no, this won't do."

"The great cause for the ages is of utmost importance; there is no time to attend to personal feelings."

Seeing Yuwen Jun's guilty look, Guangli felt a surge of accomplishment and left with a smile. (End of Chapter)
