Chen Moxuan seemed to be pondering something interesting, a smile on his face that sent shivers down Xiao Long's spine. After wrapping up matters with the Blood Emperor, he felt considerably lighter in spirit. He patted Xiao Long on the back, signaling it to return to the Da Ao Kingdom.
Understanding the cue, Xiao Long soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds as it raced toward the Da Ao Kingdom. Upon reaching the skies above Da Ao Kingdom, Chen Moxuan was taken aback by the scene before him. In such a short span of time, Chen Feng had led the Di Sha Zhan Bu to completely conquer Da Ao Kingdom. The capital was adorned with fluttering banners and brimming with high morale.
However, due to the previous devastation within the capital, it had been set ablaze by Chen Feng. Meanwhile, Long Yunhua, inheritor of the Longcheng Feijiang title, had also led the Tian Gang Battle Division to occupy most of the Azure Wolf Kingdom. Now, only a solitary capital remained within its borders.
Chen Moxuan first returned to the Da Ao Kingdom and surveyed from above. Despite the capital being reduced to ashes by Chen Feng's flames, a new capital was rising nearby, bustling with activity and order. He nodded inwardly; while Chen Feng's strength could only be deemed average at best, he was indeed capable. It was no small feat to have taken down the entire Da Ao Kingdom so swiftly.
Xiao Long gradually descended onto an open area, and Chen Moxuan jumped off its back, looking around. Chen Feng had already received word of his arrival and was leading his subordinates in training. Upon seeing Chen Moxuan, he immediately approached with respect.
"Ancestor, you have finally returned!" Chen Feng exclaimed excitedly, kneeling on one knee.
Chen Moxuan smiled slightly and waved his hand. "Rise, Chen Feng. You’ve done well to conquer Da Ao Kingdom so quickly."
Chen Feng stood up respectfully and replied, "Thank you for your praise, Ancestor. The reason we had to leave our base and launch attacks was due to certain circumstances."
He then proceeded to report in detail about recent events within Da Ao Kingdom since their departure from the base. Shortly after they left, a severe rebellion erupted within Da Ao Kingdom. The truth could not be hidden forever; once those noble families learned about the changes in the capital and that both the Emperor and Prince might be dead, they quickly began to assert their own claims.
The scale of this rebellion was vast, nearly sweeping across all of Da Ao Kingdom. To quell it, Chen Feng had no choice but to lead the Di Sha Zhan Bu in a campaign against it.
Thus, they had no choice but to leave their stronghold and launch attacks in various directions. During this process, there were also movements from the Azure Wolf Kingdom. It seemed they wanted to take advantage of the situation to reclaim everything they had lost.
Consequently, Long Yunhua, stationed at Dragon City, immediately led the Tian Gang Battle Division to assist. The two forces joined hands in battle, thoroughly shocking everyone in the Great Eu Nation. After all, these two armies were the most powerful martial and cultivation legions in the country.
In no time, fewer and fewer dared to stir up trouble, as they realized they were simply no match for them. Wherever Chen Feng went, the rebels surrendered one after another. Ultimately, they successfully occupied most of the territory of Da Ao Kingdom.
Long Yunhua could not tolerate the Azure Wolf Kingdom's actions any longer and led the Tian Gang Battle Division to strike deep into their territory. The battle was nearing its end.
After listening to Chen Feng's report, Chen Moxuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "So what is your next plan?"
Chen Feng immediately replied, "Ancestor, Da Ao Kingdom is now basically under our control, with only some scattered resistance forces still active. On the side of Azure Wolf Kingdom, Long Yunhua has already occupied most of their territory; only the capital remains firmly held by them.
Our next plan is twofold: on one hand, we will continue to consolidate our rule over Da Ao Kingdom to ensure stability among the people and maintain peace in the nation! On the other hand, we will closely coordinate with Long Yunhua's Tian Gang Battle Division to advance together and capture the capital of Azure Wolf Kingdom in one fell swoop, bringing an end to this era of chaos.
When that time comes, we will establish a new Human Empire! A unified, powerful, and prosperous empire! Ancestor, you will be the founder of this new empire and our new emperor!"
As he spoke, tears welled up in Chen Feng's eyes, his voice choked with emotion. He seemed to envision that beautiful future—a new era created together under the leadership of Ancestor. In that era, there would be no more wars or disputes, only harmony and peace; people would live and work in contentment while the empire thrived.
All glory and splendor would belong to Ancestor, the great emperor of this new empire. Chen Moxuan's cheeks twitched slightly; he had no desire to become an emperor. Who would want to be the emperor of a Mortal Empire?
"Alright, Ancestor, I'm not interested," Chen Moxuan said casually. "Whoever among you and your father wants to be emperor can take the throne. If that doesn't work, you can always find a proxy."
At first, Chen Feng was stunned by Ancestor's words; he never expected that his own Ancestor would show no interest in becoming emperor. A wave of sorrow washed over him, and tears nearly spilled from his eyes. He felt an indescribable sense of loss, as if he had lost his direction.
Just as Chen Feng's mood grew heavy, almost bringing him to his knees, he heard Ancestor's next words: "Whoever among you and your father wants to be emperor can do so."
This statement struck him like a bolt of lightning, instantly dispelling the gloom in his heart. He gulped hard, his eyes widening in disbelief. Could he or his father really become emperor? This was something he had never dared to imagine!
His heart raced uncontrollably. Standing nearby, Chen Moxuan listened with surprise to the rapid thumping of Chen Feng's heart, his face turning as red as a monkey's backside, steam emanating from around him.
Chen Moxuan's surprise wasn't due to fear that Chen Feng's heart might explode from beating too fast. It was the sheer vitality of his heartbeat, like a river surging with energy—this was the initial stage of the Dao Embryo realm, where one couldn't yet fully control their powerful physical form.
This was not the red steam of Che Mi; Che Mi's steam indicated that the body had been forged to its limit before one could utilize such divine abilities. Chen Feng's reaction was simply a normal phenomenon following a sudden breakthrough.
"Not bad at all; you've actually broken through to the Dao Embryo Realm," Chen Moxuan praised.
As he thought about this, Chen Moxuan felt somewhat helpless; he still hadn't figured out how to continue his own growth. In his eyes, both Han Yuan Wang and Xiao Yunche seemed to be individuals with great fortune—surely they could be considered chosen ones? Yet, he hadn't seen either of them possess any Companion Gemstones or particularly unique opportunities.
After all, Han Yuan Wang was nothing special; he had merely been nearly overtaken by a powerful being.
While Chen Moxuan pondered these thoughts, Chen Feng was caught up in excitement that he couldn't contain.
