Chapter 165: Strong Persuasion
"The Divine Relic opens once every hundred years, and there are still two years left. I hope Tianxinzi can hold on until then," Yang Chen sighed lightly.
"National Master, how many citizens did the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom have when it was established?" Yang Chen asked.
"At most one hundred million citizens!" Yi Tianzheng replied confidently.
"One hundred million citizens can at most establish an Empire; how could they directly establish a Celestial Kingdom?" Yang Chen said in confusion, then asked again, "How many people does the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom have now?"
"One hundred forty-eight billion!" Yi Tianzheng said.
"Why are there so many? Even at full capacity, the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom has at most thirty-six cities; how could there be this many citizens?" Yang Chen pressed urgently.
"Because... the Huangzhou Heavenly Wind Empire has become a vassal state of the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom. I heard that Emperor Wujing has betrothed his daughter Zhuque to Long Po Tian!" Yi Tianzheng explained thoroughly.
"Why is that?"
"Your Majesty, I will no longer hide anything. A few days ago, Zhuque sent a distress letter saying that Emperor Wujing has already betrothed her to Long Po Tian. Meanwhile, as a vassal state, the Skywind Empire enjoys two-thirds of the cultivation speed of the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom," Yi Tianzheng said.
"The Empire has three times the speed, the Celestial Kingdom has six times, and the Heavenly Kingdom has nine times! Having two-thirds of a Celestial Kingdom's speed means they can enjoy four times the cultivation speed, which is stronger than my Shadow Kill Empire," Yang Chen said helplessly.
"What is the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom doing now?" Yang Chen inquired.
"They are conquering the ununified territories of Huangzhou. In no more than a month, Huangzhou will be unified!" Yi Tianzheng stated.
"With one hundred forty-eight billion citizens, how many troops do they have?"
"Exactly one hundred billion!"
"That's more than double mine," Yang Chen said helplessly. "However, it is impossible to support one hundred billion troops with only forty-eight billion citizens. What does National Master think we should do now?"
"Unite and form alliances!" Yi Tianzheng suggested. "Convince the Xuan and Di continents to join forces against the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom!"
"I think so too. In that case, I will leave the journey to Xuan Continent to National Master. The day after tomorrow is August 8th; I need to make a trip to Earth Continent," Yang Chen said bitterly. "If Crimson Dragon agrees to unite, then let him withdraw from Xuan Continent and bring all his troops to Heavenly Continent, leaving Xuan Continent to Long Po Tian. Otherwise, if the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom breaks through one by one, we three parties will have no way to resist."
"Yes, I will definitely work hard to persuade the Crimson Dragon," Yi Tianzheng said.
"At this point, please summon the other Seniors back as well, so they won't fall victim to the Dragon Emperor," Yang Chen said.
"Alright, I will recall them from the Dragon Battle shortly."
"National Master, you mentioned that since the Dragon Emperor is not dead, why is it Long Po Tian who established the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom instead of him? Also, why is the Dragon Emperor still alive?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Honestly, I don't know. Moreover, the Dragon Emperor possesses the imperial Starry Will. We can deduce that he is not dead based on his refining of the Eastern Territory. If we want to gather any further information about him, the only way is to find the Heavenly Artifact - Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone," Yi Tianzheng replied.
"Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone, it will be mine in two years! If the Dragon Emperor were to come now, who in our Empire could stop him?" Yang Chen asked.
"I don't know. However, from what I can see, there is no one in the entire Shadow Kill Empire who could stand against him," Yi Tianzheng said helplessly. How does the Dragon Emperor compare to the Nine Celestial Lords?
"No way. The Nine Celestial Lords are merely powerful figures at the level of Seven Transformations. Even with their Flame, they cannot defeat the Dragon Emperor!" Yi Tianzheng directly refuted: "A Thousand Years Ago, the Dragon Emperor was already at the pinnacle of Nine Turns Battle Saint. However, up until now, he has not made a move; he must have some reservations. Otherwise, our Shadow Kill Empire would have already..."
"I understand that. For now, we still have a month to prepare. After a month, we may not be without options!" Yang Chen said firmly. From this moment on, Yang Chen finally exhibited a calmness akin to facing a mountain collapsing before him without changing color. At this moment, Yang Chen truly became a qualified emperor!
On August 8th, in the Earth Continent Imperial Palace, there were only Zhan Tao, Zhan Tian, and Yang Chen present.
"Top! I sensed the aura of Moonlight Beauty from Zhan Tian," Yang Chen said with a slight surprise.
"Leader," Zhan Tao respectfully said. "You are about to become emperor; why still address me this way?" Yang Chen smiled.
"If it weren't for Leader, I wouldn't have awakened my bloodline so quickly. Moreover, I will soon bring the War Heaven Empire under the Shadow Wind Empire's banner," Zhan Tao respectfully stated.
"Zhan Tao, since that's the case, I would like to discuss something with you. You know the current situation in the world; with the Heavenly Continent and Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom being so powerful, even if we combine our strengths from both continents, we cannot compete with the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom. Therefore, I have an idea and wonder if you can accept it?" Yang Chen said.
"Please speak, Leader," Zhan Tao respectfully replied.
"Today Zhan Tian and Senior are also here; I will speak frankly. I want to unify the entire Earth Continent to resist the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom!" Yang Chen stated candidly. After he finished speaking, Zhan Tian frowned slightly and interjected before Zhan Tao could respond: "What difference does it make?"
"How many citizens does Earth Continent currently have?" Yang Chen asked.
"About three billion. Our Earth Continent has no wars, so many people have gathered here. There should be nearly four billion originally; however, many citizens have fled to your Shadow Kill Empire and Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom," Zhan Tao replied.
"If I could gather one hundred billion citizens under my command, then I could advance to Celestial Kingdom. In my own territory of Lingxiao City, I would not fear the Dragon Emperor. As for the Dragon Emperor, Senior should be aware of him by now," Yang Chen said.
“Demigod Stronger.” Zhan Tao nodded.
“The subjects of the vassal empire can never be considered my subjects. Now I have six billion subjects, plus thirty billion from the Earth Continent. If I can gain another ten billion from the Xuan Continent, then I will be able to advance to the Immortal Kingdom! Not to mention anything else, just for self-preservation, it will be no problem at all!” Yang Chen stated clearly, “Moreover, I will appoint Zhan Tao as the War King, granting him a 5.5 times cultivation speed, which is even better than that of the vassal empire.”
“Are you really confident in contending against the Dragon Heavenly Emperor?” Zhan Tian asked.
“If nothing unexpected happens, yes! And as it stands, aside from me, there probably isn’t anyone else who has the strength to contend with the Dragon Heavenly Emperor,” Yang Chen replied.
“Nothing unexpected? What if something unexpected happens?” Zhan Tian frowned. After all, this was his lifelong effort; entrusting it to his own son was one thing, but handing it over to someone else, even if he was the Chosen One…
“I trust the leader! Father, I have only known the leader for a few years, but he has managed to resolve every crisis we faced. This time may be no different!” Zhan Tao said firmly. Zhan Tian looked at Zhan Tao with a frown, while Zhan Tao looked back at him resolutely.
After a long pause, “I am getting old; from now on, I will leave the Zhan Tian Dynasty to you,” Zhan Tian said indifferently before turning to leave.
“Thank you for your support, senior,” Yang Chen said respectfully.
“Sigh, it’s up to you now. This is the world of young people; I think any Dragon Heavenly Emperor won’t last much longer,” Zhan Tian said before disappearing from in front of Yang Chen and Zhan Tao.
“Leader, when I ascend to the throne, I will hand over the Zhan Tian Dynasty to you,” Zhan Tao said casually, as if transferring a cheap item without asking for anything in return.
“I will not let anyone down!” Yang Chen declared firmly.
