#1545 - Rear Unification (Central)
“Now that Emperor Qin has unified the rear, our overall combat strategy can be changed. We no longer have to worry about any problems arising from behind.”
“I am really looking forward to Emperor Qin unifying the rear. With the current strength of the Little Firmament Star Territory, it will definitely be able to guard the rear!”
“You are all being too conservative. I think Emperor Qin might take this opportunity to open a gap in the rear.”
“You said open a gap in the rear? Did I hear you right? The united forces of so many powerful star territories in front of us haven't been able to do it, and Emperor Qin can do it with just the Little Firmament Star Territory?”
“I think this possibility exists, and the probability of it happening is quite high! Think about who was the turning point in this great war between us? Wasn't it Emperor Qin?”
......
Opinions on whether Emperor Qin could open a gap in the rear quickly divided into two factions.
Some agreed, and some disagreed, but regardless of which side, they had great confidence in the Little Firmament Star Territory guarding the rear.
At the Heavenly Desolate World's teleportation array.
Many star territory lords from the rear emerged from it.
Lan Wenhao greeted these star territory lords with a smile: “Greetings, fellow Daoists!”
As soon as these star territory lords saw that it was Lan Wenhao, they immediately returned the greeting: “Greetings, Emperor Lan!”
Although their cultivation levels were similar, their status was vastly different.
These star territory lords would be under the jurisdiction of the Little Firmament Star Territory in the future.
Within the Little Firmament Star Territory, besides Qin Buyi, the ones truly in charge were Lan Wenhao, Ying Zhi, and Su He, known as the Three Emperors.
They couldn't afford to be careless when facing their future superiors.
If they left a bad impression on the other party, they would be given countless difficulties in the future.
Lan Wenhao sized up these star territory lords with a smile, not taking them too seriously, but not underestimating them either.
He gave them the most basic respect, otherwise he wouldn't have come in person.
The reason he didn't take them too seriously was because the soldiers guarding the Heavenly Desolate World were stronger than these star territory lords.
From the time Qin Buyi underwent his tribulation until now, the Enlightenment Tower had initially improved the combat power of the Heavenly Court First Army soldiers.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before they were all pure Spring Birth Dao Realm late-stage cultivators.
Leading these star territory lords from the rear away from the teleportation array, they were immediately met with the first show of force.
Tens of times more Heavenly Court First Army soldiers than these star territory lords stood in two rows, shouting in unison:
“Welcome, star territory lords, to the Little Firmament Star Territory!”...
The uniform shouts of these Spring Birth Dao Realm late-stage soldiers startled these star territory lords, whose cultivation levels were also in the Spring Birth Dao Realm!
These star territory lords, who were already very low-key and had placed themselves in a humble position, became even more low-key and humble.
This wasn't a case of having to bow one's head under the eaves, but rather a result of the times!
Any soldier they randomly picked out had a cultivation level similar to their own, so what was there to be proud of?
The other party had implicitly told them that if they still thought highly of themselves at this time, the consequences wouldn't be too good.
These star territory lords transmitted their voices to each other:
“I haven't heard that the Little Firmament Star Territory's army's true cultivation level has reached the Spring Birth Dao Realm. What's going on!”
“Don't worry about what's going on. Let's just straighten out our identities. Don't be rude when we see Emperor Qin later! Otherwise, it'll be difficult to even go back in one piece!”
“Do you even need to say that? Who would dare to be rude? Emperor Qin could just give a look, and the army would come up and solve us all!”
“I originally thought that my cultivation level would be considered good when I came to the Little Firmament Star Territory, after all, I am the lord of a large star territory! But now it seems, that's bullshit!”
“You've hit the nail on the head with that sentence. The other party just wants us to feel this way, so we don't get too presumptuous!”
......
Lan Wenhao looked at the complex expressions on the faces of these star territory lords and guessed what they were thinking.
He had deliberately designed it this way. The most basic respect was still respect, but appropriate warnings were necessary.
One of the inherent flaws in the nature of living beings is being too complacent!
Sometimes, too much respect can backfire. After all, only a few can correctly position themselves.
That's why there are cases of people taking an inch and wanting a mile. A carrot and a stick is the way to go!
After Lan Wenhao's series of shows of force, the psychological defenses of these star territory lords in the rear had been completely breached.
They were more or less doubting their lives. There was no way around it, the Little Firmament Star Territory was too powerful now.
After doubting their lives, they were very glad that they had come to proactively submit.
Otherwise, if an army with this kind of combat power descended on their star territory, they could imagine the result with their toes.
About half an hour later, these star territory lords from the rear finally met Qin Buyi, as well as Immortal Fuzi beside Qin Buyi.
Immortal Fuzi had not left since Qin Buyi underwent his tribulation.
Upon hearing that these star territory lords from the rear were collectively coming to visit, he proactively said that he wanted to stay and help Qin Buyi hold down the fort.
Qin Buyi didn't refuse. It wouldn't be good to refuse someone's good intentions.
When these star territory lords from the rear saw Immortal Fuzi, the strongest person in the second echelon, a trace of surprise appeared on their faces.
They knew that Immortal Fuzi was on good terms with Qin Buyi, but they didn't expect that the other party hadn't left the Heavenly Desolate World yet.
“Greetings, Emperor Qin, greetings, Fellow Daoist Fuzi!”...
After a round of greetings, these star territory lords took their seats.
Qin Buyi symbolically said a few polite words, then cut to the chase: “I wonder what brings all of you star territory lords to my Heavenly Desolate World?”
This was a case of knowing the answer but asking anyway. The meaning written on the invitation wasn't that clear, but it wasn't that vague either.
After a brief silence, these star territory lords sent out a representative:
“We have indeed come with a major matter.”
Qin Buyi said: “What major matter?”
The representative of the star territory lords in the rear said: “We want to proactively submit to the Little Firmament Star Territory!”
Qin Buyi continued to ask: “Is there a reason?”
The representative was silent for a moment and said: “Of course there is a reason.”
“The Little Firmament Star Territory is now the most powerful star territory in our rear, and with Emperor Qin personally in charge, we have long yearned to integrate into the Little Firmament Star Territory.”
“This time, coming to the Heavenly Desolate World has truly opened our eyes. We are aware of the huge gap between our homes and the Little Firmament Star Territory, so we earnestly request that Emperor Qin agree to our request!”
The sincerity of the words and the humility of the attitude had reached a point where people couldn't help but take notice.
These words not only clearly expressed their intentions, but also delivered a huge flattery! Truly brilliant!
