The reason for declaring war on other kingdoms is for the main quest of killing a hundred emperors. Upon completing the quest, the Qin ruler's level will increase by four, and he will also receive a chance for a divine summoning, a random draw, a skill inheritance, and a divine army summoning.
The rewards are indeed extremely generous.
Of course, killing a hundred emperors is an enormous undertaking.
I wonder if there are a hundred righteous kingdoms...
"To sustain war, don't you understand the current situation of Great Qin? We must quickly become strong!" the Qin ruler said in a deep voice. When will they truly become powerful after accumulating strength and resources?
War means resources, and resources drive development.
With Li Yuanba and his sons and daughters, the soldiers of Great Qin can be mere decorations. Even in the Illusory Realm, they can sweep through a kingdom, not to mention the Earthly Immortal Realm. Li Yuanba himself is as strong as the Ninth Layer of the True Immortal Realm. If the Five Heroes of the Righteous Path don't make a move, the Dynasty won't be able to stop them!
The words of the Qin ruler quieted the civil and military officials.
"Hmph, what's there to fear? With one strike of my hammer, I can make a kingdom perish!" Li Yuanba snorted with his arms crossed, leaving everyone speechless.
This foolish boy is still so crude!
But Li Yuanba's words almost ignited their blood.
That's right!
With a strongman like Li Yuanba, what is there to fear?
For a moment, the civil and military officials began to whisper, envisioning a bright future.
"Your Majesty, when will you set out?" Jia Xun asked nervously. At this critical moment of deploying troops, he was naturally tense, yet at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a hint of excitement.
The Qin ruler suddenly stood up, startling everyone to quickly kneel down. He then smiled slowly and said, "Tomorrow!"
...
After the court meeting, the Qin ruler went to the military camp, accompanied by Li Yuanba, Daji, and Xiao Li.
At this moment, Guan Yu was training the soldiers. Thousands of bare-chested soldiers were practicing with their spears, their shouts shaking the heavens. Standing beside Guan Yu was a young man, who turned out to be the talented youth Yan San with the Wind Spirit Root.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Yan San, upon seeing the Qin ruler and the others, exclaimed with delight.
In his heart, the person he admired the most was not Guan Yu, but the Qin ruler.
If it weren't for the Qin ruler's intervention that day, he might have already died in the woods outside the capital. He had witnessed the rise of the Qin ruler from a deposed prince to the throne of the emperor, and even the development of the weak Qianyue Kingdom into the powerful Great Qin Kingdom that surpassed the Dynasty!
"Your Majesty!" Guan Yu quickly knelt down, and the thousands of soldiers also stopped their training, looking at the Qin ruler with reverence and fanaticism.
Most of those who joined the army did so in the name of the Qin Emperor.
A once-in-a-lifetime monstrous genius, an emperor like no other!
This evaluation of the Qin ruler by the people's list had ignited the blood of countless young people.
"Rise, continue your training, General Guan, I have something to discuss with you," the Qin ruler said with a gentle wave of his hand, and Guan Yu looked up in surprise.
Then, with a gesture from the Qin ruler, Guan Yu got up and followed them, leaving the soldiers looking at each other in confusion.
The group arrived at an empty corner, and the Qin ruler looked at Guan Yu and smiled, "Do you want to become stronger?"
Guan Yu's eyes widened at the question, and he hesitated, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Daji and Xiao Li looked at the Qin ruler with excitement, finally getting to see how the Qin ruler would make Li Yuanba stronger.
"I'm going to give you a task to become stronger as much as possible, and also bring back some strong allies, subordinates, or treasures!" the Qin ruler said with a smile, while asking in his mind, "System, what are the instances that Guan Yu can go to?"
"Guan Yu can go to the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the world of Journey to the West," the system replied.
Journey to the West?
The Qin ruler's eyes lit up. Pushing back several hundred years from the early Tang Dynasty, it happened to be the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, just around the time when Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five-Finger Mountain.
Although there were legends of immortals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was ultimately a world of mortals. The Qin ruler would definitely choose the world of Journey to the West, where gods and demons abounded.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Guan Yu frowned, his expression as if questioning whether the Qin ruler was confused.
Li Yuanba chuckled, "Guan Yu, your good fortune has come, you must cherish it!"
When he learned that only half a month had passed, Li Yuanba was dumbfounded, and his awe of the Qin ruler almost burst.
Guan Yu became more and more confused as he listened, and just as he was about to ask, he heard the Qin ruler continue, "I will use the Supreme Divine Power to send you to another world. You will spend several decades there, while only a dozen days will pass here. You must remember, strive to become stronger, and never die. You are carrying my hope!"
The Qin ruler didn't want Guan Yu to die in the world of Journey to the West. After all, Guan Yu was the first divine being who could carry him and show off.
But the world of Journey to the West was still very safe, at least not as involuntary as the world of Investiture of the Gods.
Supreme Divine Power?
Daji and Xiao Li unconsciously opened their mouths, their eyes wide with amazement.
Guan Yu was also stunned, as if struck by lightning, not knowing what to say.
"System, send Guan Yu to the world of Journey to the West!" the Qin ruler said in his mind, then looked at Guan Yu again and said, "Don't forget what I said, bring some help to me!"
Guan Yu hesitated, his worldview completely overturned, his mind unable to make sense of it.
Soon, Guan Yu disappeared from the spot, causing Xiao Li to exclaim.
"Brother Qin, did you really use the Supreme Divine Power to send him to another world?" Xiao Li grabbed the Qin ruler's hand and asked nervously. Even her father, the king, didn't have such divine power.
Daji's eyes also sparkled, while Li Yuanba was almost ready to kneel down in reverence.
Qin Jun pretended to nod mysteriously, lifting his chin and gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his face filled with the poet's melancholy, as if countless stories were entwined around him, leaving Xiaoli fascinated and admiring.
"Alright, return to Shashen City, and we will begin the conquest of the kingdom tomorrow!"
Qin Jun waved his sleeve and laughed. Guan Yunchang's charm was not small. He hoped that he could rally many generals, making it convenient for him to conquer in all directions!
...
After returning to Shashen City, it was nearing dusk.
Qin Jun called a meeting to discuss how many people to bring. The military strength of the Great Qin Kingdom was mediocre, and the strongest five legions were constantly attacking cities, making it difficult to divide the forces.
However, dealing with the kingdom did not require the five legions. Only strong individuals were needed to attack the cities, while ordinary soldiers could suppress with their numbers.
"Your Majesty, this time you have to take me with you!" Nezha exclaimed excitedly. He had been living a life of luxury and was almost bored to death.
"Alright!" Qin Jun shook his head and agreed with a smile.
Li Yuanba suggested, "Why not bring my sons and daughters? Each of them has the strength to sweep the kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jun also thought it was a good idea.
Li Yuanba had a hundred and twenty-two adopted sons and daughters, who could form a small army.
"Why not form your children into the Golden Peng Army!" Qin Jun suggested with a smile.
The Golden Peng Army?
Li Yuanba's eyes lit up. As he was originally a Golden-winged Peng bird, having a legion named after him naturally excited him. [End of this chapter]
