Full-time Creation Master

Wanyang Headquarters, Ninth Floor Meeting Hall.

Six months after the end of the South China Sea War, the traces of war within the territory of Great Xia had faded considerably.

With the high-altitude air routes reopened and coastal factories operating day and night, new warships are sailing along the north-south transport lines toward the naval port.

Big and small events keep happening, and the replacement of emperor-level, monarch-level demons, forbidden spell mages, and super-level mages is incredibly fast!

12 month 6 day.

Chu Ming and the three prime ministers each finished dealing with their respective large number of affairs.

The various legions have been replenished and rotated, and most have completed their first rotation of defense and actual combat.

However, those who were actually sitting in this council chamber knew that what Great Xia had gained was not peace, but a silence that none of the parties were willing to break first.

The Holy City is watching.

The Temple of Liberty is watching.

Five major countries are watching.

The ocean gods are watching as well.

There are also remnants of the old regime in China who have been labeled as remnants of the old era.

They were all waiting for the Great Xia to show signs of fatigue, and also waiting for Chu Ming to reveal a weakness.

"The Second Letter from the Parthenon"

Gao Yucai pushed a gilded letter to the center of the long table and tapped the envelope lightly twice with his fingertips.

In the past few months, Gao Yucai, as Chu Ming's appointed "envoy," has visited the Parthenon several times.

Both sides have reached an agreement on the marriage alliance between His Majesty Chu Ming and Princess Asha Ruya, and between Prince Mo Fan and Princess Xin Xia.

"The first letter asked us to attend the Fenhua Festival on the original date, but this letter moved the Goddess Ceremony forward by a full forty-two days."

The stated reason was that the religious tides in Athens were abnormal, and the Parthenon's spirit had repeatedly awakened on its own; further delay was no longer possible.

"The reasons are certainly high-sounding," Eileen sneered.

She is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Dragon Knight Legion, and the silver dragon pattern on her epaulettes gleams coldly under the light.

After the Victorian aristocracy completely aligned itself with Bactria, she no longer needed to conceal her aversion to the old European order.

"The divine soul can wait for thousands of years, yet it can't wait for forty-two days?"

"Furthermore, would Xin Xia not know if there were any unusual movements in her soul?"

As high-ranking individuals in this room, rulers of 13 trillion people, and those who influence 50 trillion people, they are very knowledgeable about most of the world's "secrets."

There aren't many secrets, just trust!

This is also one of the reasons why the newly established powerful regime is so strong.

Chu Ming did not answer immediately.

Sasha had already projected the two national letters in front of him, the dense characters being broken down into tens of thousands of sparks of light.

The paper, ink, and the blessing mark were all fine, but the second letter contained a faint trace of death.

That deathly aura does not belong to the dead.

It's like some kind of dead person forcibly returning to the world through faith and dark matter.

"Izusa," Salang suddenly spoke.

She sat to Chu Ming's right, unusually not wearing the blood-red robes that symbolized her cardinal status today, but only a dark black outer robe.

His public identity, though concealed, is merely that of a "reclusive forbidden spell," known as Sarilang.

However, after being taken under Chu Ming's command, he became a trusted "direct subordinate".

She stared at the deathly aura projected onto the screen, her gaze eerily calm.

"She's getting anxious."

"Are you sure?" Mo Fan asked.

This hall isn't exactly hosting a 'formal meeting,' but Mo Fan doesn't recognize half of the dozens of people in it.

"I killed her with my own hands."

The council chamber fell silent for a moment.

Salam spoke casually, as if he were merely stating a trivial matter.

But who killed Izusa?

The person who killed Izusa?

The person who killed Izusa?

......

"A person resurrected by dark forces cannot truly bear the praise of the goddess."

The more active Parthenon's soul was, the faster her body would break down.

If she wants to win, she can only either use the temple's resources to forcibly strip away the divine soul before the sacred ceremony begins, or prevent Xin Xia from participating forever, using the 'rules' to suppress the divine soul and select the goddess.

Mo Fan's lazy expression vanished instantly.

The lightning and fire magic flashed in his eyes, and several files on the table moved automatically without any wind.

"If anyone dares to covet Xia, I will tear down the sacred mountain."

"You're the Grand Master of the Knights of Light now, after all," Gao Yucai coughed. "You should be a little more mindful of your words."

"oh."

Mo Fan nodded and said again, "If anyone dares to touch Xia, I, as the leader of the Knights of Light, will legally demolish the sacred mountain."

Gao Yucai opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to lower his head and drink his tea.

Of the three prime ministers, Gao Yucai, as Mo Fan's teacher, was the one whose words carried the most weight, while Zhang Biyan was the one Mo Fan clashed with the most.

Wang Wenyan is in the middle, with a relationship that is neither too close nor too distant.

Chu Ming did not laugh.

His gaze swept past the crowd and landed on the world map at the far end of the council chamber.

Egypt, Greece, Holy City, Bactria.

The next world-class atmospheric event is visible to the naked eye.

Sasha lit up the four areas, which were then connected by a faint black line.

"It's not just Izusa."

"However, the Dark King must have been involved as well."

Chu Ming glanced at Sa Lang and said, "The Temple Mother Pamishi is also urging the Holy Scriptures to be completed."

The Holy City's observation mission to Athens was temporarily supplemented yesterday with two archbishops and seven divine judges.

The Egyptian underworld has been sending large amounts of dark matter towards the Mediterranean Sea over the past three days.

"Khufu?" Qiu Zhibai's voice came through the communication crystal.

He himself is still on the front lines in the underworld, participating in the meeting only as a projection of a dead person.

Around the pale face, one could vaguely see a wall of the dead stretching across the sky.

"That guy's been unusually quiet lately," Qiu Zhibai said. "So quiet it's not like him."

The Sha'abyss Undead Empire and the Skeleton Empire steadily encroached upon Khufu's territory and people with little resistance.

"So he must have done something," Chu Ming said.

More than a dozen people who roughly knew the true identity of Sa Lang under the black robe all turned their gazes toward Sa Lang.

Given Chu Ming's current relationship with Sa Lang, and Xin Xia's identity, it would be strange if the Dark King didn't get involved!

Salang slowly raised his eyes: "Why are you looking at me?"

"When it comes to conspiracies, you're the expert," Chu Ming said honestly.

"Khufu is an idiot, thinking he's placing a bet. I reckon he'll be the first one to go broke."

Salang wasn't angry. "Yizhisha needs to maintain the dark matter for resurrection, Pamis needs a power that doesn't belong to Parthenon to create chaos, and the Holy City hopes the Goddess's Holy Scripture will go out of control..."

Khufu was that "external cause."

"A bystander?" Eileen asked.

"He's arrogant."

Chu Ming tapped the table with his finger.

Greece on the map suddenly appears larger.

"The plan remains the same, but let's move the start date forward."

"Mo Fan led 100,000 Knights of Light to escort the state gift."

Eileen deployed a portion of the Dragoon cavalry to provide support, but they did not enter the city of Athens.

Three thousand Quinjet fighter jets, one aerospace carrier, and twelve accompanying warships.

"Ten forbidden spells, including those from the ancient family and the second and third elders of the Qin family, will accompany us!"

"Gao Yucai is responsible for marriage alliances and resource negotiations on behalf of Daxia."

"The intelligence department is monitoring the spatial fluctuations in Athens, Egypt, and the Holy City in real time."

Chu Ming paused for a moment at this point.

"Elder Sarilang accompanied me."

Mo Fan frowned, feeling that the person didn't seem to be Tibetan.

Salang turned his face away, and for the first time, he did not hide the slight hesitation in his eyes.

She could remain calm and collected amidst the encirclement of several countries, and could gamble with the lives of an entire city, yet at this moment, she subconsciously clenched her sleeves.

Chu Ming knew what she was afraid of.

It's not Pamishi, not Yizhisha, and not the Holy City.

It is Xinxia.

"We'll have to meet eventually," Chu Ming said.

Salang remained silent for a long time before giving a soft reply.

"Um."

........

Outside the council chamber, the heavy tolling of bells echoed throughout Wanyang.

In the distance, above the naval port, white and gold military flags fluttered in the wind.

The Knights of Light, which had been silent for half a year, began to assemble.
