Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Someone wanted to speak up in caution, but seeing Gu Yang's expression, they forcefully suppressed their thoughts.

It was clear to everyone that Gu Yang's desire for battle was unstoppable. Anyone who tried to ruin his mood at this moment would surely face consequences.

Even if not dismissed outright, they would not fare well.

At the same time.

Some secretly believed that with the current foundation of the Divine Martial Dynasty, declaring war on the three states simultaneously was not completely unfeasible.

Finally.

Gu Yang's gaze fell upon Gu Sheng'an.

"Second Prince!"

"Your son is here!"

"Lead the Divine Martial Imperial Guard and garrison in the army. Should there be any change in the three states, you are to lead the Divine Martial Imperial Guard and suppress it immediately!"

"Your son accepts the order!"

Gu Sheng'an said with clasped fists.

Gu Yang then withdrew his gaze and looked at the gathered ministers, with ambition unabashed on his face.

"Ministers, the great calamity of heaven and earth is imminent. The Divine Martial Dynasty must ascend to a Divine Dynasty. Anyone who dares to obstruct our path will be killed without mercy!"

"We follow the decree!"

All the ministers bowed deeply.

"Court dismissed!"

Gu Yang stood up from the Emperor's Throne, swished his sleeves, and with hands behind his back, left the court hall.

Seeing this, the other ministers also gradually retreated.

Soon after.

The news from the court hall spread across the world.

Many cultivators who heard the news showed expressions of excitement.

"Declaring war on the three states in one breath, what audacity the current Emperor possesses, truly deserving to be the master of the Imperial Dynasty!"

"If the three states can be taken, we cultivators can also gain benefits from it!"

"Join the army... I must join the army!"

In these cultivators' eyes, the lands of the three states represented endless resources. If the Divine Martial Dynasty could conquer the three states, they, as citizens of the Divine Martial Dynasty, could naturally partake in the blessings.

Needless to say.

When the first two states fell under the control of the Divine Martial Dynasty, numerous resources were distributed across the world, benefiting all the people.

Cultivators!

Are also people!

After all, in this era where everyone cultivates, who doesn't have a little bit of cultivation, even those with mediocre talent can at least go through the Body Refining Fifth Realm.

But with more cultivators, the issue of resources arises.

Now as the Divine Martial Dynasty continues to expand, for these cultivators, it is an opportunity to acquire a large number of resources.

Who does not want to advance further?

Especially since the current Emperor is highly strategic and has great foresight. In just a few years, the territory of the Divine Martial Dynasty has more than doubled.

If one joins the court, there is certainly a great future ahead.

Under the current court's rule, where cultivators are not deliberately suppressed, the notion of the court being oppressive doesn't exist.

Serving the court isn't shameful, instead, it is something to be proud of.

...

South Star State.

Taixuan Dynasty.

While the Divine Martial Dynasty was intent on declaring war on the three states, the court of Taixuan Dynasty was already in an uproar.

"The Divine Martial Dynasty has such audacity to simultaneously declare war on the three states. In my opinion, the Divine Martial Dynasty is courting death!"

"Gu Yang, this ambitious person, cannot be allowed to remain!"

"Emperor, we request to go to war, and ensure that the Divine Martial Dynasty returns with no gain—"

Several ministers cursed out loud, with more aggressive ones directly requesting wartime actions.

To this.

Nangong Zhu remained silent, but from his somber expression, it was clear that the Taixuan Emperor was also not in a good mood.

"The Divine Martial Dynasty... who would have thought it would turn into a threat after all!"

After a long silence, Nangong Zhu finally spoke, his voice full of coldness.

Back when the Divine Martial Dynasty warred with the Star Dynasty, the Taixuan Dynasty had once sent troops to attack the Star Dynasty.

But who would have thought?

Several decades passed.

The once weak Dynasty now grew into a behemoth.

Declaring war on the three states in one breath, even the Taixuan Dynasty didn't have such confidence.

However.

The Divine Martial Dynasty did it anyway.

Since the Divine Martial Dynasty took over the two states, Nangong Zhu regarded them as a major enemy, always investigating their strength in secret.

The findings shocked even Nangong Zhu.

The strength of the Divine Martial Dynasty had surpassed the thousands of years of accumulation of the Taixuan Dynasty.

The reason.

Much of it is attributed to the inner core of the Demon Emperor.

Just one Demon Emperor's inner core is enough to produce many powerful figures.

With the many foundations of the Divine Martial Dynasty, Nangong Zhu had no doubt that if it came to a direct confrontation, the Taixuan Dynasty would be defeated.

This was even without considering the factor of Gu Qingfeng.

If that person intervened, Nangong Zhu was well aware that the Taixuan Dynasty would have no chance of resistance.

However—

Impossible though resistance might be.

The Nangong Royal Family's millennia of foundation could certainly not be destroyed at his hands.

Therefore.

Nangong Zhu looked at the group of ministers and said in a deep voice, "The Divine Martial Dynasty is ambitious, attempting to annex our Taixuan Dynasty. This must not be tolerated!"

"Since the Divine Martial Dynasty wants war, then my Taixuan shall accompany them to the end!"

"Wang Junze!"

"Here, sire!"

As he finished speaking, a young general stepped forward, exuding a presence as stable as a mountain.

Looking at this Great General of Taixuan, a flicker of satisfaction appeared deep in Nangong Zhu's eyes.

The Divine Martial Dynasty's strong foundation was undeniable!

But the Taixuan Dynasty also had a competent great general to rely on!

This veteran has long been called the God of War in both the court and the field.

So.

Nangong Zhu directly ordered.

"I order you to lead the Black Armor Army to the front line and ensure the Divine Martial Dynasty receives a severe blow!"

"I accept the order!"

Wang Junze accepted the order without any hesitation, clasping his fists.

Then.

Nangong Zhu issued several more orders for other generals to lead their armies to assist Wang Junze from the flanks, ensuring the fastest destruction of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Once the court meeting dispersed, Wang Junze immediately led the Black Armor Army to the front lines.

Seeing the gradually disappearing scenes around, the young general on horseback had deep eyes, showing a trace of regret.

"After this battle... I fear I won't return here again!"

Wang Junze never forgot that he was acting upon orders from the Gu Family's Hidden Guard.

For years, he had been lurking in the Taixuan Dynasty, waiting for this moment.

Though Nangong Zhu greatly trusted him and frequently gave him heavy responsibilities, with high rank and rewards lacking nothing, Wang Junze was acutely aware that he served only one, and that was Gu Qingfeng.

Now that the Divine Martial Dynasty was set to battle the Taixuan Dynasty, it was obvious Wang Junze couldn't lead troops against the Divine Martial Dynasty.

This battle seemed like going to war, yet Wang Junze had his plans.

——

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' simultaneously declared war on three states, creating a massive momentum that shook the entire Eastern Domain!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' is seen as a true hero, and under his leadership, the Divine Martial Dynasty is expected to ascend to a Divine Dynasty in the future!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' quietly utilized the Qi Fortune of the Divine Martial Dynasty in cultivation, breaking the Heavenly Dao Chains, with cultivation steadily rising!"

"Your descendant..."

...

"Your Death Soldier 'Wang Junze' obeys Nangong Zhu's order, leading the Black Armor Army to counter the Divine Martial Dynasty's larger forces!"

"Your Death Soldier 'Wang Junze' secretly incites rebellion within the Black Armor Army!"

"Your Death Soldier 'Wang Junze' uses forceful measures to execute those Black Armor Army leaders unwilling to rebel, then leads the remaining Black Armor Army to defect to the Divine Martial Dynasty!"

"Your Death Soldier..."

...

Inside Kushan Immortal City, Gu Qingfeng, who was in seclusion and contemplating Cultivation Techniques, rarely withdrew from the enlightenment state, glancing at the information panel. The text above caused ripples in his usually serene face.

"Declaring war on the three states!"

"Wang Junze defected from the Taixuan Dynasty..."

Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel, realizing the time spent in seclusion was at most around two years.

No matter what, Gu Qingfeng wouldn't have imagined that in just two years, so much would happen in the world.

Especially seeing that the Divine Martial Dynasty had already captured two states and now declared war on three simultaneously, even Gu Qingfeng was somewhat astonished.
