The force that destroyed the Great Yu Holy Dynasty was never just Great Jin and Qinjian Villa.

Rather, it was all the Holy Lands in the world.

The aim of extinguishing Yu was to remove the label of treacherous ministers and rebellious conspirators once and for all. Whether it was Yuwen Dongdu, Zhuge Yuan, or Zhang Ruoxu and Wei Xuheng, everyone knew this in their hearts.

Although Hou Yuxiao brought Jiang Yuyun and reclaimed Shenzhou, restoring Great Yu, none of the Holy Lands took it seriously, only the forces below them, the loose cultivators across the world, and the hundreds of millions of common people considered it real.

The restored Great Yu was never the same as the previous Great Yu inherited from the Divine Dynasty. Just a mere Sixteenth Prince, Jiang Yuyun, what does he count as?

But now, Jiang Tianming has come back to life!

Once Yu Martial Sect returns to the court, the restored Great Yu, its significance will completely be different.

"My beloved ministers, why are you all silent?"

Jiang Tianming's angry inquiry startled all the Saints awake, and when they looked down, they realized that the cocoon had already been broken.

From within the cocoon, a middle-aged man emerged slowly. His movements were gentle, yet his every gesture carried an arrogance that scorned all living beings. Though he lifted his head to look at the numerous Saints in the sky, it gave a feeling as if he was looking down upon them.

Among those present today, in all of Shenzhou, the one with the highest status should be the Emperor of Jin, Yuwen Dongdu. In terms of power, Great Jin's three-front warfare nearly can crush any single Holy Land. In terms of territory, Great Jin occupies the Three Northern Provinces and is the foremost among the Holy Lands, genuinely the world's number one Holy Land. As the master of Great Jin, Yuwen Dongdu's status is beyond question, unrivaled by anyone except his father, Yuwen Hongzhang.

It's hard to imagine that at this moment, the Emperor of Jin, Yuwen Dongdu, seemed somewhat unable to meet Jiang Tianming's gaze. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, aligned with the other Saints, and whenever his eyes met Jiang Tianming's, he immediately shifted his gaze.

Nervousness, fright, and a hint of fear.

Not only Yuwen Dongdu, but it can be said that all the Saints present are feeling the same.

Of course, Sikong Xingzhou is an exception.

"Jiang Tianming, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind.

All the Saints hurriedly turned their heads, and when they saw the visitor, their expressions were momentarily frozen.

The person who arrived was Hou Yuxiao, along with Zhantai Wuyuan who had just entered the ancient tree first.

"What does National Master Hou mean by that?"

Wei Xuheng was the first to ask, and the rest of the Saints turned their gaze as well.

Listening to Hou Yuxiao's words, it seemed he knew something.

"I always knew Jiang Yuyun was peculiar. I thought it was related to Yu Martial Sect, but I didn't expect it to be the Martial Emperor. It seems the Emperor collaborated with Sikong Yue?"

Hou Yuxiao didn't pay much attention to Jiang Tianming, instead directly asked, then shifted his gaze to Sikong Xingzhou beside him, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Years ago, when he tried to use the Divine Lotus to enslave Jiang Yuyun, he found that no matter how much Karmic Obstacle he used, it couldn't succeed, and he faintly guessed that something was wrong with Jiang Yuyun.

The enslavement function of the seventh black petal of the Divine Lotus requires assessing the amount of Karmic Obstacle based on the fate of the user. Unable to use it on Jiang Yuyun meant that his destiny was too high. Considering that the opponent was indeed a prince of the Divine Dynasty, Hou Yuxiao initially thought his Karmic Obstacle value was insufficient.

But gradually, as his Karmic Obstacle value increased, he realized he still couldn't successfully enslave Jiang Yuyun, he knew then Jiang Yuyun definitely had a problem.

The last Emperor of the Divine Dynasty, Yu Martial Sect, Jiang Tianming.

This identity indeed surprised Hou Yuxiao a bit.

Just walking out from the ancient tree space, Hou Yuxiao had just witnessed what happened last, the Twinborn Lock, Yu Martial Sect, Holy Yuan Nirvana Sutra, he already knew what had transpired and simultaneously sorted everything out in his mind.

The Holy Yuan Nirvana Sutra Jiang Yuyun cultivated was evidently a backup left by Yu Martial Sect. The so-called Divine Sect treasure house should be a conspiracy planned early on by Lin Xuangan and Yu Martial Sect, a conspiracy that possibly dates back to eight years ago, when the fall of Great Yu happened.

This conspiracy involved Jiang Tianming, Lin Xuangan, and Jiang Yuyun.

Of course, the most crucial part is Sikong Yue...

There is no Divine Sect treasure house, only the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. Jiang Tianming and Sikong Yue both want to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to release these million demons, and the two joined hands to orchestrate such a play.

That Eight-Armed Demon Spider's Twinborn Lock can only be killed by himself, so Sikong Yue utilized it by tricking Zhantai Wuyuan into coming in, and also tricking him into the ancient tree space, in order to let him follow in and then slay that demon spider.

The prerequisite for Jiang Tianming's resurrection was evidently to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, and he also had the intention of releasing the million demons, hence when he was still Jiang Yuyun, he cooperated with Hou Yuxiao by pretending to be constrained, even pretending to collaborate with him to reclaim Shenzhou...

No, now it can't be said to pretend to cooperate to reclaim Shenzhou.

At this very moment, with Jiang Tianming's resurrection, who else can be the master of Shenzhou?

Hou Yuxiao's eyes slightly bowed, face devoid of joy or sorrow, displaying no discernible fluctuations.

"National Master Hou assisted me in reclaiming Shenzhou, and should be the backbone of Great Yu. Why associate with these rebellious conspirators? Wouldn't it be better to devote yourself to serving this Emperor? From now on, Shenzhou could be shared between this Emperor and you, what say you?"

Jiang Tianming's sudden solicitation made Hou Yuxiao feel quite uncomfortable, though noticing Jiang Tianming speaking to him while directing his gaze towards Sikong Xingzhou, he vaguely understood, and inwardly coldly laughed.

In this world, truly there's nothing of sincere collaboration.

Supposedly at this point, Jiang Tianming and Sikong Yue should be in a cooperative state. He knows he was just pitted by Sikong Yue, harboring deep resentment towards her; now making an offer, this is clearly aimed at putting Sikong Yue in a bad spot.

"The Emperor is too kind. This Hou, muddle-headedly, broke the Twinborn Lock, causing a tremendous disaster, feeling deeply remorseful inside. How dare I serve the Emperor! I only beg you, all seniors, for the sake of my ignorance, not to trouble me too much. Today's affairs were all caused by Sikong Yue alone. The matter of releasing the million demons should all be attributed to her."

Jiang Tianming's face sank, evidently not expecting Hou Yuxiao to refuse so quickly. He turned, chuckling softly twice, looking at the steadily loosening million stars, and gently said, "I hope National Master Hou reconsiders; with a million demons, Shenzhou will be in chaos. Our Shenzhou is solid, far surpassing any city in the world, and your Hou Clan elites are currently all within Shenzhou. If you don't serve me, how will they manage themselves?"

The loosening of the million stars accompanied by the chains binding them beginning to crumble and fall off, the entire Ten Thousand Demons Cave started quaking violently, and space began to become unstable, with signs of collapse. Everyone realized what was about to happen, their faces involuntarily wore a hint of dread.

"The Emperor worries too much, Shenzhou never belonged to us. The Hou Clan elites, and the three armies, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be near the exit of Zhongzhou. The future of Shenzhou is for the Emperor to worry about!"

Hou Yuxiao's calm response made Jiang Tianming's face change.

Not only Jiang Tianming, but everyone else, including all the Holy Land leaders within Great Jin, had their expressions changed; they seemed to realize the significant implications in Hou Yuxiao's words, with numerous mysterious hues flashing in their pupils.

Hou Yuxiao intends to abandon Shenzhou!

To abandon Shenzhou means the Hou Clan and the joint forces of the three families will start changing directions. Where will they go?

To the Three Northern Provinces, Jizhou, Hulao Pass, or Hexi, Hedong?

"Roar..."

Everyone's thoughts were interrupted by a thunderous roar, and they all turned to the source of the sound.

The sound came from a small fragmented star among the million stars.

The huge roar was accompanied by overwhelming Demon Qi, followed by one demon's roar after another, shaking the heavens, causing everyone's pupils to tremble and vibrate.

Demons, are about to break free!

Countless Second Rank, tens of thousands of Third Rank, hundreds of thousands of Fourth Rank...

This is million beings, all at the very least in the shattered realm!

It can be foreseen that for a long time, the entire world will plunge into a scene of dancing demons, life will be devastated, and the people will suffer. This will become the main theme of Shenzhou, and it will continue for a very, very long time.

The world is going to be chaotic!

This chaos will be thousands of times more terrifying than the current Holy Land contest!
