He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

Yue Dan has already led 30,000 imperial guards north to meet 400,000 iron cavalry from the grasslands.

30,000 versus 400,000.

A troop strength gap of thirteen to one.

But Yunyi wasn't worried.

With 50,000 points of national fortune poured in, Yue Dan is now a true "enemy of a million men".

No.

Saying it's an enemy of a million is an understatement.

With three supernatural powers at his disposal, Yue Dan could roam freely in this ordinary world.

The only thing that worried him was the Heavenly Wolf Khan.

The intelligence report said that the person was thrown into a wolf pack at birth and raised by a mother wolf.

Such a background destined him to be extraordinary.

So before leaving, he spent another 30,000 units of national fortune and, with the Emperor's guidance, bestowed upon Yue Dan a divine weapon.

When Yue Dan left, he only knelt down and said one sentence:

"Your Majesty, I will bring back the head of the Heavenly Wolf Khan within three months."

Yun Yi believed him.

"His Majesty."

A eunuch's voice came from behind, "Urgent report from the border."

Yun Yi turned around.

The eunuch presented a secret report with both hands; the sealing wax was intact, indicating it was the highest level of urgency.

Yunyi opened it and glanced at it.

His brows furrowed slightly.

[Urgent report from the North: The demons who slaughtered the city have breached Youzhou; all 63,000 inhabitants have perished. Their route leads directly towards the capital. At the current speed, they will reach the capital region in half a month.]

Youzhou.

It is only 300 miles away from Kyoto.

Seven days.

In seven days at most, the monster that slaughtered forty-seven cities and killed 330,000 people will arrive.

Yun Yi put down the secret report, his face expressionless.

"What about Yue Dan's side?"

The eunuch bowed and replied:

"The Grand General who protects the nation has arrived in Yunzhou and is currently engaged in battle with the vanguard of the grasslands."

"The first battle was a success, with 8,000 enemy soldiers killed and wounded... 37 men."

Thirty-seven people.

Eight thousand enemies were killed.

Yun Yi nodded.

"Send word to Yue Dan: When a general is in the field, he may disobey some military orders."

"We should act according to the prevailing circumstances, without being rash."

"Yes."

The eunuch withdrew.

The Imperial Study returned to silence.

Yun Yi stood by the window, gazing at the gray sky.

time is limited.

He opened the system panel.

[Current national index: 452347 points]

[Daily fixed increase: 50000 points]

450,000 points.

enough?

He remembered the monster that had slaughtered forty-seven cities.

The Eye of Destiny can only see people from hundreds of miles away, but he can guess that the monster is definitely not simple.

In terms of individual strength, he is probably the strongest among the ten reincarnators.

And himself—

After becoming emperor, his physical body transformed into the "Heavenly Mandate Emperor Body," and his divine soul transformed into the "Heavenly Emperor Divine Soul."

Better than Li Changlong.

But it's probably not much stronger than that monster that slaughtered the city.

But he doesn't intend to do it himself.

He was the emperor.

The emperor did not need to personally lead the troops into battle.

What he needs to do is train people who can kill the enemy.

"Someone come here."

"exist."

A black-armored guard appeared silently outside the door.

This is someone he personally nurtured over three years.

Each of them possessed the strength to lift 100,000 jin with one hand and was bestowed with divine weapons.

He had three hundred guards like these.

They are all carefully selected, with 100% loyalty.

"Summon those nine brothers to the Imperial Study."

"Yes."

A moment later, nine figures, all clad in black armor and helmets, entered the imperial study and knelt down on one knee in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Yun Yi looked at the ten people in front of him.

Over three years, he used his Eye of Destiny to select the ten most talented individuals.

Each one was struck with the force of 300,000 jin.

Each one was equipped with the Black Soul Armor and the Blood Dragon Blade—two sets of divine artifacts he had personally crafted.

But now, facing the monster that had slaughtered forty-seven cities, he felt—it wasn't enough.

"stand up."

The ten people stood up and bowed their heads.

Yun Yi walked up to the first person.

Black armor and helmet, only their eyes were visible.

Calm, resolute, and free from distractions.

Name: Wei Long

Loyalty: 100 (Die-hard)

[Current combat capabilities: Can lift a 300,000-pound boulder with one arm, can withstand sword and blade attacks, and can travel 10,000 miles a day]

Yun Yi nodded.

He raised his hand and placed it on Wei Long's shoulder.

【Ding--】

[Host detected using "Controlling the Nation's Destiny".]

[Target Allocation: Weilong]

[National Fortune Allocation: 20000 points]

Wei Long's body jolted violently.

A pale golden light emanated from his body, growing brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire imperial study as if it were daytime.

The other nine people instinctively took a step back, their eyes filled with shock.

But they didn't move.

Because they know what His Majesty is doing.

The golden light lasted for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before gradually fading away.

Wei Long looked down at his hands, his whole body trembling slightly.

It's not fear.

It was excitement.

"His Majesty……"

His voice trembled, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty feels..."

Yun Yi smiled.

"How are you feeling?"

Wei Long didn't know how to express his emotions, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

It can only be expressed in the simplest way.

"Next."

Yun Yi's voice was as calm as if nothing had happened.

He walked up to the second person, raised his hand, and pressed his shoulder.

Another 20,000 points of national fortune.

It was glittering with gold again.

It's another complete transformation.

One by one.

All ten guards have been fully upgraded.

Twenty thousand each, totaling two hundred thousand.

Including the previous inventory, there are still a little over 200,000 left.

Two hundred thousand points.

That's enough to train ten more.

But Yunyi didn't intend to do that.

He doesn't want quantity, he wants quality.

That monster who slaughtered the city killed 330,000 people all by himself.

Such people cannot be defeated by sheer numbers.

"You ten."

Yun Yi looked at the ten transformed guards before him and spoke slowly.

"From now on, you have only one task—"

"To become the sharpest knife in my hand."

"That monster that slaughtered the city will arrive in Kyoto in seven days."

"But I don't want to sit here and wait for him to come."

"I don't want any more civilians to be slaughtered."

"I want you to go and cut off that demon's head."

Yun Yi paused, his gaze sweeping over the ten people.

The ten people remained silent for a moment.

Then they all knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

……

at the same time.

In the northern border, outside the city of Youzhou.

Mo Wendao stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, looking up at the sky and roaring.

Sixty-three thousand people.

A total of 63,000 people.

Including the previous forty-seven cities, he killed a total of four hundred thousand people.

He refined and absorbed the blood and energy of 400,000 people.

At this moment, he had already faintly touched the barrier of Foundation Establishment.

"This world without spiritual energy is too weak."

"Even flesh and blood are weak and cowardly."

He looked down at his hands, his eyes filled with fervor.

"After slaughtering a few more cities, we can first refine a few spells."

"The reason he was able to live to the level of Venerable Mo Wen in the cultivation world is because of one word—stability."

Even if you don't feel that the young emperor is a threat, you must still go all out.

He raised his head and looked south.

That direction leads to Kyoto.

He leaped off the pile of corpses and headed south.

Behind him were 63,000 shriveled corpses.

……

outside of Kyoto.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the city gate.

Zhou Zhen lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the bustling crowd on the street, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Kyoto.

finally reached.

He lowered the carriage curtain, leaned against the carriage, and closed his eyes.

That little emperor lives in this city.

What kind of person is he?

Is he really just a hothead who practices martial arts every day, just like the intelligence report said?

still--

Is there more to the story?

he does not know.

But he will soon find out.

The invitation has been sent—as the only son of the Zhou family, the richest family in Jiangnan, he requests an audience with the new emperor.

The reason is perfectly legitimate: to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne and to present him with a gift.

As for whether the young emperor will see him—

He doesn't care.

If you're going to see someone, then see them in person.

If we can't meet, we'll find another way.

Anyway, he didn't come to Kyoto just for tea.

……

The Imperial Study.

Yun Yi sat behind his desk, looking at the invitation in front of him.

"Zhou Yulang, the only son of the Zhou family of Jiangnan, requests an audience?"

He raised his head and looked at the deputy general left behind by Yue Dan.

"What's the background of this Zhou family?"

The lieutenant bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, the Zhou family is the richest family in Jiangnan, with vast wealth and businesses spread throughout the various prefectures of Jiangnan."
