Chapter 2630 - 2595: The Outbreak of War Approaches

Human Race Sword Cultivators, Human Race Sword Emperor, once again revealed their extreme stability and reliability in the face of war.

"Neutral?"

"So that means you might help the enemy, or you might help me?"

Jiang Ding said mildly, "These six really aren’t afraid that I’ll join hands with the Alien Race Emperors and wipe them out first. To be so brazen and reckless, ’neutral’... heh. Neutrality ought to belong only to the strongest."

To be frank, there was some anger in his heart.

The six Human Race Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors occupied territories far surpassing those of the other Alien Race Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, especially the three Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors who had yet to advance, such as Emperor Tianhe. It was the existence and deterrence of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor that allowed those three to remain aloof in these turbulent years, without having their lands devoured by the Human Race and Alien Race Eight-character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors.

Seated upon such gains, is it because the Human Race Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors are incomparably powerful, far beyond the other Ancient Emperors?

It is because of the existence of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor!

It is because of the existence of the collective known as the Human Race Alliance!

"Write a letter to the three, Emperor Tianhe and the others."

"Inform them that now, with the Emperors advancing one after another, I can no longer provide shelter for the three of them. I ask the three Fellow Daoists to fend for themselves."

Jiang Ding said coolly.

The three Ancient Emperors such as the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, who have already advanced, can be set aside; but those three like Emperor Tianhe, do they truly think that the interests of the Human Race Alliance are eternal and require no response whatsoever?

Utterly laughable!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yueyin Ancient Emperor swiftly recorded everything.

Among the division of labor of the three women, she was responsible for diplomatic affairs and the like, because many Ancient Emperors were incapable of treating a non-Emperor being as an equal, even one who was an Empress.

"Next, under the premise of maintaining the output of the industrial system, shift the focus onto restructuring the army."

"I am well aware that the grassroots of the current army are very chaotic; most cultivate the Cultivation Methods of the Desolate Ancient Immortal Dynasty, as well as various system Cultivation Methods established before the Desolate Ancient Immortal Dynasty. The army formed is extremely disordered, with no unified Immortal Dao standard, unable to achieve one hundred percent and above in synchronized frequency, incomparable to what we had back then."

Jiang Ding instructed, "But do not be discouraged or anxious. The Emperors face the same situation as we do; they can only conscript existing Cultivators to form Taoist Soldiers. The time is too short to cultivate Cultivators truly belonging to their own systems."

"By comparison, we possess a huge number of qualified High-level Generals, many Venerable Cultivators revived from the Ninth Immortal Dynasty, and in addition, the many Treasure-grade equipment, Elixirs, Talismans, Warships, and other supplies produced in the Supreme Great Sun Domain, which has now preliminarily undergone Immortal Tao industrialization. Our advantage in terms of the army is tremendous."

"These favorable factors must be repeatedly and thoroughly explained to the Cultivators..."

"Yes, Young Master."

This was a matter of political propaganda, under the charge of Gong Caiyu and a group of Tushan Maids, who immediately noted everything down in quick strokes.

"In terms of industrial production and planning, we must make extensive reference to the calculations of destiny and to the opinions of the Immortal Tao Industry True Immortal and the various Ancient Emperors. Under the current situation in which many Ancient Emperors are leaving, increase tenfold the wartime transaction subsidies for Ancient Emperors, and promulgate corresponding policies to retain these Ancient Emperors."

"Inform these Ancient Emperors that, if we make it through this war, their cooperation priority will be raised by at least two levels."

The so-called cooperation priority comes from a clause in the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty’s "Administrative Measures for Foreign Academicians"; that is, Ancient Emperors with higher cooperation priority receive better treatment. For example, many Ancient Sword Dao Emperors are those with the highest cooperation priority; the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor rebuilt and supplemented an entire Ancient Emperor Immortal Dao System for them, fully satisfying their many needs for Cultivation, Enlightening the Dao, Immortal Scripture deduction, Treasure Refining, and the like.

The promotion of cooperation priority is extremely difficult and often requires immense military merit and research contributions.

A higher cooperation priority is greatly beneficial for an Ancient Emperor in deducing their own Immortal Scripture, drawing closer to the level of Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, and more easily living out a third life. It holds considerable allure for the Emperors.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fusang swiftly arranged many matters.

The entire Supreme Great Sun Domain began to slowly run like a vast and intricate Immortal Dao instrument. One unit after another of Supreme Great Sun Dao Soldiers was reconstituted; one Immortal Sect Fleet after another was rebuilt. The enormous conscription system started turning, and the Heavenly Yuan Supreme Great Sun Demon Slaying Sword Formation shifted into wartime mode.

These are merely on the level of Skill.

The true Dao lies in the Seven-character Immortal Scripture Project, in digesting the Enlightenment gains from the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor Battle, in digesting the Undying Ancient Emperor’s Original Ancient Talisman, in the Central Array Spirit Computer’s Four Spirits Unification Project, in the project to smelt together the various Emperors’ Immortal Dao Systems, in the Golden Devouring Path Ant clan’s Emperor Tungu experimental body, and in the Six Yuan Immortal Forbidden Refining of the Taiqing Flying Sword.

These are the true key factors that will affect the Immortal Path.

Emperor Tungu is not dead.

He is imprisoned at the center of the Great Dream Sword Realm, believed to have constructed a Real Dream Realm similar to the current situation in the Endless Starry Sky. There, he has not lost; he still walks his own End of Dharma Path, still striving to deduce his Immortal Scripture toward eight characters, striving to open up a completely different End of Dharma Path.

In this process, he occasionally receives one or two critical opportunities—these are feedings from the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor has always watched his growth, hoping that in the future he can advance to the Eight-character Immortal Scripture, the Seven-character Immortal Scripture, and even higher, and for this is willing to invest heavily.

After arranging many affairs, Jiang Ding slowly entered deep Enlightenment of the Dao, using more Divine Soul Computational Power to digest the Enlightenment gains from the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor Battle and the Undying Ancient Emperor’s Original Ancient Talisman.

...

Time flowed on.

Unawares, thirty years passed.

The murderous aura in the Endless Starry Sky remained constantly thick, and grew ever more terrifying, yet the true war had not erupted. The Emperors were still redeploying their forces and retraining their armies, striving as much as possible to equip their troops with qualified Treasure war gear. Thirty years is far from enough to establish a cosmic war force.

On this day, the three Human Race Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, including Emperor Tianhe, finally could no longer bear the pressure. At the invitation of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, they personally visited the Supreme Great Sun Domain to hold talks with the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

The many Cultivators and Ancient Emperors of the Supreme Great Sun Domain welcomed them fervently, treating them with the highest ceremony.

The deep friendship between the Supreme Great Sun Domain and the three domains including the Tianhe Domain was displayed before the powerhouses of all races in the Endless Starry Sky—a life-and-death blood alliance kind of profound friendship.

Yet within the palace where the two sides met, the atmosphere was not particularly amicable; it even seemed somewhat cold and suffocatingly murderous.

"Send troops to help you hold your domain?"

"There is no possibility whatsoever."

Jiang Ding said indifferently, "My battle is destined to take place within the Heavenly Yuan Supreme Great Sun Demon Slaying Sword Formation. Aside from that, I will not set foot beyond the Supreme Great Sun Domain by even a single step."

"Outside the Immortal Array, besieged by nine Eight-character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors, I will die."

"The odds of escape would be vanishingly small."

"The three of you Fellow Daoists must stop saying such things that make murderous intent rise in my heart."

"It will damage our friendship."
