In just a few days, he took over the entire Ice Country without bloodshed. What a terrifying power... He can save all living beings from disasters and troubles. Perhaps he really has the ability to change the world and bring down this corrupt empire!

The invincible Esdeath was defeated. This was the first time in her life that she suffered a defeat!

Najeshitan felt incredibly excited whenever she thought about this. Although she hadn't defeated Super S Queen Esdeath herself, it was still a good result that she was defeated by Zhu Moye, who had taken her first kiss.

Chapter 261 Shocking the World

The Western alien base camp.

"Your Majesty, Esdeath's army has been defeated. I heard they were repelled single-handedly by Zhu Moye, the Human Emperor of the Tianming Cult. According to intelligence, Esdeath's army also lost 30,000 soldiers and was forced to leave the Ice Country and return to the Imperial Capital."

A man in his twenties said to a tall man dressed in Western clothing, "This is the first time Esdeath has been defeated in all her years of fighting on the battlefield, and it was a crushing defeat."

"Eckard, Esdeath was defeated? What kind of organization is that Destiny Cult?"

The man, carrying the twenty-year-old man on his back, asked, "Who is the Human Emperor Zhu Moye? Why have I never heard of him? And he actually single-handedly resisted an entire army of 100,000 and defeated Esdeath. He's truly a terrifying being."

"The current headquarters of the Tianming Cult is in the Ice Country in the extremely cold northern land. I heard that the Ice King has also become a member of the Tianming Cult. The entire Ice Country has become the territory of the Tianming Cult. As for the Human Emperor Zhu Moye, his origins are unknown!"

Eckerd shook his head. The other party's origin was too mysterious. All he knew was that he fell from the sky, and the rest of the information could not be detected at all. It was as if he did not belong to this world at all and appeared suddenly.

"The Destiny Cult? Since you've defeated Esdeath's army, you will travel to the Ice Country on my behalf and establish ties with the Destiny Cult! If you have the chance, win over the core members of the Destiny Cult."

The man raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled faintly: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

"Yes, King!"

Eckerd nodded and said, "I obey your orders and will definitely live up to your trust!"

The southern alien base camp!

"I heard that Esdeath's army suffered a defeat?"

A square-faced man spoke into the darkness, "What exactly happened? Tell me. I also want to know how that woman Esdeath suffered such a defeat!"

"Yes!"

A man in black armor suddenly stepped out of the darkness. His face was icy, and a faint murderous aura emanated from him. "According to intelligence, Esdeath led an army of 100,000 men to battle against the Ice Nation's army, directly defeating 400,000 men. Prince Numaseka was captured alive, only to be brutally slaughtered by Esdeath. As for his 400,000 men, they were buried alive in pits... But before they were killed, a man descended from the sky, posing as a god, and defeated the Empire's most powerful general, Esdeath. He also caused the loss of 30,000 elite soldiers, forcing Esdeath to return to the Empire in disgrace."

"Hahaha...Esdeath is also going to be defeated one day? How interesting, hahaha...Go on, keep talking. As I listen, my resentment will disappear."

The square-faced man laughed loudly after hearing this, as if he had just drunk a glass of iced sour plum soup on a hot day. He felt relaxed all over and said, "Go on!"

"Later, that man founded the Tianming Cult, calling himself Zhu Moye and claiming to be the Human Emperor. He conquered the Ice Country. Now the Ice Country has become the Tianming Cult's headquarters. Even the Ice King gave up his throne and joined the Tianming Cult."

The man in black armor replied without a trace of emotion in his voice.

"That Ice King actually surrendered? Is this true? Human Emperor Zhu Moye, it seems a powerful king has appeared in this world. He conquered the Ice Kingdom and defeated Esdeath in just a few days!"

The square-faced man frowned upon hearing this, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "You will go to the Ice Country to visit the Destiny Cult on my behalf. I want to make friends with them! Remember, bring some beautiful women from our south to present to the Human Emperor Zhu Moye... Remember, they must be pure virgins, not those dirty women. Do you understand?!"

"Yes, King, I obey your orders!"

The man in black armor disappeared into the darkness once again, as if he had never appeared. However, his faint murderous aura lingered in the air.

"Human Emperor Zhu Moye... Interesting, interesting! Esdeath, don't you call yourself the undefeated and most powerful general? Now someone has defeated you. You must be very upset, right? You killed hundreds of thousands of my southern alien troops. You never thought you would end up like this, did you?"

The square-faced man laughed heartily: "Esdeath!"

Empire, imperial capital.

royal palace.

"Minister, General Esdeath has been defeated!"

The young emperor sat on the throne, scepter in hand. He glanced at Minister Ernest, who was eating meat beside him, and said innocently, "Minister, why do you think the general lost the battle? Isn't she very powerful? And she has never been defeated... Are the alien races of the northern ice country so strong?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, General Esdeath is an extremely powerful being. How could a little ant from the Ice Country be a match for General Esdeath?"

After swallowing the fragrant meat, Minister Ernest glanced at the young emperor, smiled, and said, "It was just a minor incident. Zhu Moye, the Human Emperor of the evil cult Tianmingjiao, suddenly appeared... General Esdeath was ambushed and suffered a heavy defeat. Please don't worry, Your Majesty!"

"I see! I was wondering how General Esdeath could lose, considering she's so powerful. It turns out she was ambushed... But then, what kind of organization is the Destiny Cult? Why have I never heard of it? Is it another offshoot of the Revolutionary Army?"

The emperor frowned, rolled his eyes innocently, and said in confusion: "Minister!"

"Haha, while the Destiny Cult isn't a branch of the Revolutionary Army, their nature is similar. They're all a bunch of rebellious bandits, disrupting the peace... But, Your Majesty, please don't worry. These bandits are nothing to worry about. As long as General Esdeath regroups, she'll defeat the Destiny Cult and even the Human Emperor, Zhu Moye."

Minister Ernest chewed the meat and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, you should rest. Leave the rest of the political affairs to me!"

"Minister, thank you so much. I am also tired and want to take a nap."

The young emperor nodded and said gratefully, "Minister, thank you for your hard work!"

"It is an honor for Ernest to serve His Majesty."

Chapter 262 Minister Ernest

Watching the young emperor leave, Minister Ernest's expression turned grim. He bit into the piece of meat fiercely and said coldly, "What a nuisance! How did the Destiny Cult suddenly appear? And who is that damned Human Emperor Zhu Moye? I never thought Esdeath would be defeated by him. It's unbelievable."

Minister Ernest was in a state of uncertainty. He sat directly on the emperor's dragon throne and began to think hard.

"His Majesty!"

An eunuch walked in and saw Minister Ernest sitting directly on the throne. He turned pale with fear and broke out in a cold sweat. He turned his eyes and glanced at the situation in the hall, but there was no sign of the emperor. He knelt on the ground in some panic.

"His Majesty is tired, he went to rest. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

Minister Ernest raised his head, glanced at the trembling eunuch below, and said absentmindedly: "Hurry up and tell me, I still have things to think about. Don't waste my time, otherwise I will kill you!"

"Yes, minister!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch turned pale and trembled with fear. He said in panic, "Minister, General Esdeath has returned to the imperial capital. She has entered the palace and is outside, wanting to see Your Majesty."

"Is Esdeath back yet? Step back and let her in!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Ernest raised his head, rolled his eyes, and waved his hand.

"Yes, I'll go down right away."

The eunuch nodded timidly and then retreated. After a while, a woman in a white military uniform walked in, glanced at Minister Ernest, frowned, and asked, "Ernest, where is His Majesty?"

"His Majesty is tired, so he's gone to rest. General Esdeath, you've worked hard. Come and sit down! I wonder if you're so anxious to see His Majesty, but is it because of the Ice Country?"

Before Esdeath came in, Ernest had already left the dragon throne and sat on a chair beside it. Now, he waved his hand, motioning General Esdeath to sit down and talk slowly.

However, Minister Ernest had already guessed Esdeath's intentions for meeting His Majesty. After all, she had suffered a crushing defeat in the frigid northern lands, losing over thirty thousand Imperial soldiers—a serious defeat. Although news of her defeat had long since reached the Imperial capital, she still decided to personally meet with the current Emperor to explain the entire situation.

"I've already explained this matter to His Majesty on your behalf, General. His Majesty doesn't intend to blame General Esdeath. He knows that the General has made numerous contributions to the Empire over the years, and his services are truly remarkable... After all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee that the goddess of victory will always be on their side. So, General Esdeath, there's no need to be upset!"

Minister Ernest smiled and said, "But what Your Majesty wants to know most is Zhu Moye, the Human Emperor of the Tianming Cult. What is his origin and what is his current situation? General Esdeath, please speak frankly."

What does your Majesty mean?

I think that's what you mean, Minister Ernest!

The whole world knows that His Majesty the Emperor is now your puppet. Your words are his words, and his words are still his words. The main power and politics are concentrated in you, Ernest. His Majesty the Emperor is just a cover for you to play politics.

Of course, Esdeath would not believe Ernest's nonsense, and of course she did not trust the young Emperor. The Emperor was cowardly and completely trusted Minister Ernest's words, which led to the Millennium Empire being turned into such a state!

There are foreign races in all directions causing chaos, and there are rebellious organizations such as the revolutionary army in the country. Officials and businessmen are colluding, and it is really a mess!

However, Esdeath has her own ideas. She wants to reform the entire dark empire, but she will not do so as a defector. She will change this corrupt empire bit by bit in the name of Esdeath, the strongest general of the empire.

First, quell the foreign rebellion, then deal with the domestic rebellion, and finally let out all the bloodshed... This was Esdeath's idea, though a bit unrealistic and ineffective over the years. But she wouldn't give up, she would persevere to the end.

Esdeath glanced at Minister Ernest and nodded. "The Fate of Heaven has now occupied the Ice Country, and Human Emperor Zhu Moye has established the Ice Country as the Fate of Heaven's headquarters, with the intention of expanding into the Empire and beyond. However, this organization has no intention of rebellion, nor does it intend to harm the Empire. Otherwise, my 100,000 soldiers would probably be buried in the snow."

Esdeath didn't know why, but she subconsciously said something good for Zhu Moye.

"Human Emperor Zhu Moye? He has no intention of rebelling? Regardless of whether he has the intention of rebelling or not, he and the Destiny Cult are both a disaster. If the Destiny Cult develops, it will probably be a big trouble."

Ernest picked up a huge leg of lamb, sniffed the tempting aroma of meat, opened his mouth and was about to break it in half, chewing the bones together, making a crackling sound. He asked, "How strong is he?"

"Invincible!"

After hearing this, Esdeath thought about it again and again, and came to a conclusion that the other party's strength was extremely terrifying and almost invincible.

"Invincible?"

Upon hearing this, Minister Ernest's breathing hitched, his face flushed, and he suddenly choked. It took him a long time to recover. He asked in confusion, "What kind of answer is that? Even General Esdeath can't defeat him?"

"I can't beat him! His strength is terrifying!"

Esdeath shook her head. If she could defeat Zhumoye, the Ice Country would have been razed long ago, and those hundreds of thousands of tiny insects wouldn't have fled from her Five Finger Mountain. If she could defeat that guy, she would have captured him and brought him back to the capital to marry him. After all, he had taken her first kiss and her body, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him.

"How many people do you think it would take to take that man down?"

Minister Ernest believed in Esdeath, who would never lie.

"At least twenty Imperial Artifact Masters and a 500,000-man army are needed. Otherwise, we won't be able to defeat Zhu Moye!"

Esdeath heard this and replied based on her own experience.

Chapter 263 Gifts from the Three Major Powers

The Ice Country, once a land of extreme cold and occupied by northern alien races, has long since changed its name and become the headquarters of the Tianming Cult. The fact that Tianming Cult uses a country as its headquarters shows the great courage of Zhu Moye.

Although the Ice King, father of Prince Numasekka and the former icy nation, had once ordered his general, General Nulun, to lead a million-strong army to destroy the Fate of Heaven, Zhu Moye surrendered the army with a single word. Ultimately, the Ice King, unable to escape his fate, led the rest of the people to willingly join the Fate of Heaven, becoming a member of the sect.

Today, the lifeline of the Ice Country is completely controlled by Zhu Moye, the emperor of the Tianming Sect. In other words, the Ice Country is no longer worthy of its name and has begun to be announced to the outside world as the headquarters of the Tianming Sect.

Ice City, the former royal capital of the Ice Country, is now renamed Destiny City.

The envoys from the western and southern ethnic groups, as well as the envoys from the revolutionary army, have arrived in Tianming City, bringing a large number of gifts. They are packed in carts, stretching for hundreds of miles with no end in sight.

Western envoy Eckerd, Southern alien envoy Heikeli, and revolutionary envoy Kro were all standing before the Tianming City. They exchanged glances, each expressing surprise, having clearly not expected the other to visit Zhu Moye, the Human Emperor of the Tianming Cult. Furthermore, judging by their stance, it seemed likely their purpose shared theirs: to establish a friendly relationship with Zhu Moye on behalf of their respective kings.

After all, Zhu Moye, the emperor of the Tianming Sect, fought against thousands of troops with his own strength, and directly defeated the empire's super S queen Esdeath among these thousands of troops, and caused her to lose more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the empire. His strength is so terrifying that it is impossible to fathom his depth.

Such a powerful figure, having completely devoured the Ice Country's forces, becoming one of the world's most powerful factions, and sharing a common enemy, naturally strove to befriend them. Of course, the relationship between the Destiny Cult and the Empire was somewhat complicated, but they weren't exactly enemies. After all, the Empire hadn't issued any public announcements regarding the Destiny Cult, nor had they responded to the defeat of Esdeath by Zhu Moye, the Destiny Cult's Human Emperor. It was like a pool of stagnant water, devoid of any ripples.

Because of the Empire's attitude, the Western and Southern alien races, as well as the revolutionary army, extended olive branches and attempted to establish ties with the Destiny Cult. After all, they were happy to befriend a mysterious and powerful force like the Destiny Cult.

Although it is said that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Therefore, the three major forces brought a large number of gifts to befriend most of the core members of the Tianming Sect and build good relationships.

Although this relationship may not be of much use now, if my side gets into trouble in the future, I am afraid that this relationship will undergo a huge change and the help it provides to me will be immeasurable.

Make friends!

The three major forces have the only goal, but if the other party does not buy it, they will have no choice. It is really a problem.

If there was an opportunity, they would strive to form an alliance. At least they could leverage the reputation of the Destiny Cult to intimidate the Empire. After all, their own forces were inferior to the newly established Destiny Cult, which had at least defeated the Empire's Super S Queen, Esdeath. Meanwhile, their own forces were completely defeated by Queen Esdeath, losing even hundreds of thousands of their troops.

The three exchanged glances. They had all met before, and while they weren't close friends, they were all seasoned diplomats, their minds shrewd and calculating. Their expressions remained calm. Eckerd, the Western Alien envoy, smiled and said, "It's General Heikeli, the Southern Alien envoy, and General Clo, the Revolutionary Army envoy. It's been a few years since we last met. I wonder how you're doing."

"Lord Eckerd is so kind!"

Heikeli and General Kro smiled kindly upon hearing this and asked tentatively, "I wonder if Lord Eked is here to visit Zhu Moye, the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, on behalf of the King of the Western Tribe?"

"Yes, my king is interested in making friends with powerful beings like the Human Emperor Zhu Moye, so he ordered me to bring thousands of carts of gifts to present to the Human Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Eckerd nodded and said, "I wonder what the two generals are up to?"

"I am also here to make friends with the Human Emperor on behalf of our King."

"This general is here on behalf of the Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army to make friends with the Human Emperor, Zhu Moye. After all, our commander is happy to make friends with a powerful being like the Human Emperor. The gifts I brought are only a few thousand carts, but they are small gifts that are not worthy of being presented on the stage."

General Crowe shook his head. Though a military commander, he was also quite skilled in diplomacy. He had been a scholar before joining the Revolutionary Army, only joining after becoming disillusioned with the decadent Empire. In ten years, he had transformed from a powerless teacher into a formidable general, his most glorious achievement being the slaying of a hundred men!

I'd be damned if I believed you!

Eckerd and Heikri subconsciously glanced at the long convoy behind Kro. The heavy vehicles had left deep tracks in the snow. It was probably not just a small gift. Besides, why would they bring thousands of vehicles for a small gift? I'd bet you'd believe me!

Of course, the two of them didn't believe Cloe's polite and modest words, but they didn't expose him. Instead, they smiled back and didn't ask any further questions. The three of them walked together to the foot of the palace and then passed the message to enter the palace.

The three envoys arrived before a vast palace. A high hanging plaque bore four large characters, written in a flowing, upright, and extraordinary style. However, none of the three present recognized these characters, looking at them as if they were ghostly scrawls, leaving them somewhat stunned.

Destiny!

These four big characters are ancient Chinese characters, which are different from the characters in this world. The three people did not recognize them but were not surprised.

"Three messengers, please come in. The Emperor is waiting for you in the main hall."

A man in his fifties suddenly walked out. He had a calm face without any expression, and just made a gesture of invitation.

"Ice King!"

The three of them were shocked when they saw the newcomer's appearance. "Ice King, why is it you? Do you still remember us?"
