ROAR!
A golden dragon flew out from the depths of the palace, transforming into a sacred edict. The Emperor's might perated the air, spreading Qin Wudao's resonant voice throughout the heavens.
"Imperial decree! During my seclusion for cultivation, the State Preceptor shall have full authority over court affairs. All court officials are to assist him wholeheartedly and obey his orders..."
However, this sound, though resonant, echoed only in the ears of the Great Qin's court officials. No one else heard it.
"As you command!"
The nurous court officials rose, bowed towards the heavens, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they were not Zhuge Liang, nor Xiao He, let alone Guo Jia. Managing the vast Saint's Court was an exceedingly strenuous task, the pressure imnse, like a mountain.
"Soone, quickly bring all unresolved state affairs! I'm going to consult the State Preceptor!" a minister called out, heading off to pay respects to Gui Guzi.
Gui Guzi patiently explained matters to these officials. Almost every one of them departed with significant insights, as if they had been enlightened with profound truths.
From then on, Gui Guzi was imrsed in his duties, working day and night to resolve the remaining court affairs, essentially doing the work of three pri ministers like Zhuge Liang.
He had no complaints; instead, he found joy in the work.
Ti flowed like water, and another half a year passed.
Under Gui Guzi's administration, the Great Qin Saint's Court developed in an orderly manner. Trade routes between the various cities were established, the nation's strength was greatly enhanced, and young prodigies erged one after another, like bamboo shoots after spring rain.
To describe it as a period of efficient governance and harmonious populace would not be an exaggeration.
However, no one suspected that a crisis was silently approaching.
WHOOSH!
Tens of millions of miles away from the Nine Provinces, a colossal black star drifted lonely in the cosmos, devoid of light, and certainly devoid of life.
This dead star was the Original Continent!
After losing its Origin Power, it could no longer maintain its trajectory. Pulled by the gravity of other celestial bodies, it wandered aimlessly. It likely wouldn't be long before it collided with another star, turning into a heap of teors.
HAHAHA!
"After years of hardship, we are finally out!"
"Lowly mortals, prepare to welco the arrival of a great existence—"
Suddenly, an excited voice, carrying a terrifying might that shook the surrounding starry void, echoed above the Original Continent.
However, before the owner of this voice could finish speaking, it was as if a stone had lodged in his throat, abruptly cutting him off.
The power of space surged, and a huge star gate materialized.
Six powerful figures of the Sky Eye Clan, their hearts filled with excitent, flew out from the star gate. Upon seeing the Original Continent, now a dead star, their expressions froze.
They looked around, and philosophical questions surfaced in their minds:
Who am I?
What am I supposed to be doing?
And where am I?
"This is a dead star. Could we have gotten the location wrong?" one of the three-eyed Sky Eye Clan experts said, his voice low and his face extrely grim.
"That should be impossible! If this is a dead star, why is there energy emanating from it?" the Sky Eye Clan expert who had set up the star gate asked, puzzled.
Hearing their exchange, the other four Sky Eye Clan experts frowned slightly. Could there have been an error at so stage?
"No, that's not right. There's still residual heat in the planet's core. This is a world that has only just recently beco a dead star!"
A mont later, Qin Wen Lu, the one with the highest cultivation among them, detected the issue and spoke in a deep voice.
"Could it be that soone beat us to it?" another Sky Eye Clan expert interjected, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"Unlikely!" Qin Wen Lu shook his head. "If experts from other myriad heavens and worlds had descended, they would absolutely not destroy a star in the 'Mortal Realm'. There must be another reason!"
The stars of the 'Mortal Realm' were priceless treasures to the myriad heavens and worlds, involving a colossal secret.
No one, unless they were a fool, would destroy such a star.
"Heavenly Eye Divine Skill, Ti Regression!"
Suddenly, Qin Wen Lu's four eyes stood erect, his blood-red pupils glowing like four suns, unleashing a profound energy that warped space-ti.
Ti Regression!
This was a Divine Skill of the Sky Eye Clan, an incredibly powerful ocular technique capable of seeing through illusions, deciphering Formations, and even reversing ti and space.
Only those with a potent bloodline could manifest it.
As a descendant of a Sky Eye Clan magnate, Qin Wen Lu naturally possessed a robust bloodline. Thus, upon breaking through to the True Immortal Realm, he had awakened this Divine Skill.
Instantly!
A series of scenes from the void appeared in Qin Wen Lu's mind, a fleeting overview of the past year.
With his current cultivation, he could only regress ti by one year.
But for him, that was enough.
A few breaths later, Qin Wen Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and four lines of bloody tears stread down his face. They dripped onto the Original Continent, blasting out a celestial pit a thousand miles wide.
Such is an Immortal. Even a single drop of their blood is not sothing a mortal continent can withstand.
"The Great Qin Saint's Court!"
Despite the injury to his eyes, Qin Wen Lu paid it no heed. His expression was one of excitent as he gazed towards the distant starry sky, where he could vaguely make out a star.
"Qin Li, you stay here and guard the star gate. The rest of you, follow !"
Qin Wen Lu licked his lips like a hunter who had spotted its prey. An aura of slaughter enveloped him. His figure flickered and, unable to wait any longer, he shot towards the starry sky.
Following him, four more Sky Eye Clan experts tore through the void, their faces savage and their auras incredibly violent, streaking like teors across the starry sky.
Only one red-haired, blue-eyed Sky Eye Clan expert remained behind, guarding the star gate.
ROAR!
anwhile, as Qin Wen Lu and his four companions locked onto the Nine Provinces, the Golden Fortune Dragon of the Great Qin Saint's Court began to grow restless and agitated, letting out furious roars.
What's going on?
Gui Guzi, who was handling state affairs, was slightly startled. It had been so years since his ergence into the world, and this was the first ti he had ever seen the Golden Fortune Dragon go berserk.
A berserk Golden Fortune Dragon signified impending disaster!
Or perhaps, the imminent arrival of a powerful enemy!
"State Preceptor, I sense five powerful auras rapidly approaching the Nine Provinces!"
Just as Gui Guzi was pondering this, the figure of Universal Heaven appeared, his voice tinged with alarm.
"What?"
Gui Guzi was greatly shocked.
To be able to traverse the starry sky, they must be Heavenly Immortals at the very least!
Could they be experts from the myriad heavens and worlds?
A gleam flashed in Gui Guzi's eyes. He recalled the war between the Great Qin Saint's Court and the Myriad Demon Saint's Court, when the Demon Emperor, in a fit of rage, had smashed into the Divine Demon Domain, causing a world rift.
Yes! That must be it!
Experts from the myriad heavens and worlds discovered the world rift and have descended into the 'Mortal Realm'!
Having understood the crux of the matter, Gui Guzi flew into the sky, positioning himself beneath the world's celestial canopy, and bellowed his command, "Great Qin Saint's Court, prepare for battle!"
As the order was given, the many experts of the Great Qin Saint's Court were montarily stunned, then quickly reacted. They drew their weapons, Evil Qi surging to the heavens, and prepared for battle.
Battalion after battalion of troops assembled, their countless terrifying auras shooting straight into the sky.
BOOM!
Not only that, but even the Great Wall, located beyond the Nine Provinces, began to radiate a dazzling light, transforming into a colossal dragon that stood guard over the entire world.
In the short span of a hundred breaths, the entire forces of the Great Qin Saint's Court were mobilized, poised for action, ready to face the approaching enemy.
Rage burned in everyone's eyes.
Who is it? Who dares to provoke the Great Qin Saint's Court?
