Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Lord of the Void, your fate today will be death!”

Fang Yuan’s expression was firm like unmoving ice. He directed the Creation Sword Array with the Extinction peculiarity, and multiple layers of swords circled ominously.

Finally, the Void Giant began to shrink. At the very end, it reduced to an earthworm and started to recite a curse. “Dream Demon, I curse you... I will return from the depths of the void to take revenge!”

“No matter how quick you are, it’ll be ten thousand years before you resurrect. When the time comes, there’s no way I’ll be afraid of you!”

Fang Yuan laughed coldly.

How long had he been cultivating?

Ten thousand years would be more than enough for him to advance to a higher realm.

But for now, this Lord of the Void was his biggest problem.

Rumble!

The Creation Sword Array merged into one again. After a loud explosion, everything returned to normal.

Fang Yuan remained standing where he was and was processing the information he received.

“Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment wants to refine the Great Daos of the Celestial Thearch and the others?

“Between Demon Gods, there is no way they can steal each other’s Great Dao. This is how it has always been for Demon Gods at Void Amalgamation and Myriad Transformations. In the past, the Lord of the Void had set up the Four Mysterious Seals Array to extract the Demon Gods’ Dao path but didn’t devour it then, ultimately offering them to heaven’s will. Under the same logic, the former Celestial Thearch had simply borrowed the power of the Spiritual Realm to refine the Dao path of a Demon God!

“However, it seems like Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment has a secret technique. At the Void Amalgamation realm, he can forcibly seize a Demon God’s Dao path. It’s terrifying. Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment’s previous life was a culmination of regrets left behind by Demon Gods on the Mental Demon Battlefield, and some of those Demon Gods who attempted to attack the Spiritual Realm were able to consume each other’s Dao path. It’s no wonder that Ancient Netherworld was so afraid. Furthermore, once this method is leaked, everything will turn into a mess!”

Even the current Fang Yuan could do nothing other than eliminating the Lord of the Void.

In front of the Void Great Dao, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch the Great Dao disappear before him. The Lord of the Void would fall into deep hibernation for thousands for years while he accumulated energy for his revival.

If he were able to seize and refine the Void Great Dao, the Lord of the Void would have died without a chance.

Even if he resurrected, he would just be a normal Demon Master and could be killed with the lift of a finger.

...

The clouds fell, covering the country of Lin’s palace.

“Greetings, Teacher! May you live a long life!”

Seeing Fang Yuan arrive, even the country’s rulers, Lin Shoucheng and Jiang Wang, stepped forward and kowtowed deeply to him. Their faces looked nervous.

“At ease!” Fang Yuan smiled. “Your teacher has resolved the root of your problem! There is no need for you to be afraid anymore.”

“Thank you, Teacher!” Lin Shoucheng bowed once more. However, his heart was ice-cold.

Back when the demon stars entered the world, it was a problem that not even the Heavenly Court could resolve. It had no other choice than to execute the command and kill the new-born babies.

However, after this teacher made his move, he managed to resolve the problem so quickly.

As he thought about this, even though he had already become the country’s king, and even hoped to unify the world, he could not help but feel submissive.

“Hey, Shoucheng!” Currently, Fang Yuan was sitting in the hall. He took a sip of tea. “Teacher has heard after having command over a nation, you have ambitions to unify the world. Is that true?”

Without thinking twice, Lin Shoucheng replied immediately, “Of course!”

With what happened today, he knew that his teacher had great dreams and ambitions to fulfill as well.

“Wonderful! Teacher will lend you a hand so that we can unify the world in one year, no, three months!”

Fang Yuan waved his hand as if he were dealing with a small matter.

“What?” Lin Shoucheng widened his eyes like a toad. Jiang Wang asked while kneeling, “Teacher, in three months, I don’t even know if I can assemble sufficient troops. Furthermore, digesting our efforts from today takes time too.”

“Do I look like someone out of touch with mundane affairs?” Fang Yuan shot back with a question. “What I need now is merely a name and a reason. As for the actual war, I have troops from different immortal sects to do the job.”

“Troops?”

“That’s right. With True Cultivators as the foundation, we can make huge progress at once. We’ll have immense power that will allow us to wreak havoc on the path we tread and create huge arrays. We can even have Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals fight! They form the foundations in their sects. However, as long as I want to use them, they will have no choice but to give themselves up to me!”

Fang Yuan was not concerned with the rules of the sects. His gaze seemed to penetrate the roof, all the way to the Heavenly Court.

He had already guessed most of Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment’s plan. If he managed to succeed, there was a high chance that he could reach the top at once, turning into a Netherheaven Realm Demon God!

Because of that, he had to ruin his plans no matter what!

For now, the Heavenly Court and the Mental Demon Battlefield has been sealed. Forcing it open isn’t currently the best course of action. I’ll have to rely on the power of the human realm...

Fang Yuan’s eyes gleamed.

The Lord of the Void was dead. There was not a single existence in the human realm that could go against him anymore, much less his desire to unify the world.

As for Lin Shoucheng, he was nothing more than a figurehead. It was just fate that had drawn him to his side.

If he did not understand that, Fang Yuan could easily replace him.

Lin Shoucheng understood this perfectly as well. That was why he treated him with utmost respect and courtesy, obeying his every command.

“You’re not bad! Very good!”

Fang Yuan was somewhat satisfied with his attitude. After all, they still shared a teacher-student relationship, so he did not mind delivering him some good fortune. “Originally, you didn’t have the fate of an emperor, and you were in a situation where you would fall into darkness. However, in a twist of fate, you managed to start anew! Even if you can’t change your fate at once, you are always growing. Your achievements to date are akin to breaking free from the shackles of your own strength!

“In the past, I killed a dragon centipede and took away what it absorbed of the country of Ye’s fate to give to you, which is why you can be considered fated with the country of Ye. That’s the reason why you were able to achieve success so quickly.”

“So that’s the reason!” Lin Shoucheng gasped in shock and reveled in Fang Yuan’s ability to twist someone’s fate. “My greatest thanks goes out to Teacher.”

“The Dragon Qi enabled you to rule the country of Ye. That’s also why I’ve ordered the other countries to greet you here. It is so that you can change your fate! As long as you do not yield, you can build your haven here. However, the revolution of a new emperor requires the fate of more countries. When that happens, you can finally unify the world and call yourself the ruler of the world. That is when you can call yourself the Son of Heaven!”

In reality, a matter like this would not be as simple. Fang Yuan had simplified it to a horrifying extent. The explanation was far too superficial for the arrival of a Son of Heaven.

Without generals putting their lives on the line in each war and traversing through bloody battlefields, there was no way to unify the world so easily. Without that, the result of such an outcome would mean that one’s luck was greater than fate. In that case, an emperor would only be able to reign for a moment before suffering harsh karma.

However, using a mortal’s lifespan, Fang Yuan naturally had his methods of making it work.

Furthermore, when Lin Shoucheng could call himself the emperor of the world, he needed descendants to continue his bloodline. In that case, even if the emperor were overthrown, the dynasty could continue.

“Teacher, thank you for your guidance!”

Lin Shoucheng felt a gush of warmth run through his heart.

The True Dragon and Son of Heaven who unified the world!

Every king in the human realm wished to become that person.

Lin Shoucheng asked straightforwardly, “Teacher, what are your plans for your student to become the ruler of all under heaven? Please tell me. I swear my allegiance to you!”

“Not bad! What I want you to do is very simple. That is...”

Fang Yuan explained casually in a few sentences. However, Jiang Wang’s and Lin Shoucheng’s expressions changed instantly.

...

The country of Ye had changed its name to the country of Lin. When the king ascended the throne, many countries came to celebrate the occasion. As such, the country was prospering.

The country of Lin was rumored to have an almighty teacher with numerous Heaven Immortals and Earth Immortals under his command. But without waiting for the situation to stabilize, it sent out its soldiers immediately, announcing that it would unify the world and produce a genuine True Dragon and Son of Heaven!

At the time, every country’s ruler thought of them as a laughingstock. However, they were hit by reality soon after.

With the immortal sects’ Dao soldiers being sent out, how could the armies of the secular world resist at all?

Even the strongest cavalries from the influential countries were utterly destroyed. In the first year, their capitals were overrun, their kings killed, and their crown princes surrendered.

The countries of the world fell under the rule of an unknown king and were now serving the country of Lin.

The one who instigated everything quietly remained hidden behind the scenes.

On the outskirts of the country of Lin, a three-hundred-meter wide and thirty-meter tall Heaven Ritual Altar was constructed as per Fang Yuan’s orders.

“Teacher!”

Lin Shoucheng and Jiang Wang wore their ceremonial robes with dignified expressions.

“We’re ready. We just have to follow the plan!”

Fang Yuan waved his hands, and Heaven Immortals landed one by one. Next to them, numerous pale-faced rulers followed.

The Spiritual Realm was vast. Even though the country of Lin conquered the countries with the Dao soldiers, it could not find enough soldiers and officials to handle the takeovers. It could only defeat them in name and continue using the previous government officials. It was truly a tragic story.

The mobilized Heaven Immortals brought each country’s ruler forward as proof of their surrender. This was Fang Yuan’s idea.

No matter what, they had to make Lin Shoucheng’s name as the ruler of the world a reality. That would fully establish his position and authority after he ascended the throne.

“I can’t believe... that promise that I made when I was young would be realized in such an amazing way!”

Lin Shoucheng stepped onto the altar slowly. Staring at Jiang Wang, who was by his side, he looked a little out of sorts.

At the start, he was nothing more than an officer in the country of Ye. He spent day and night thinking of ways to deal with Yang Xiu.

However, in the span of a few months, not only had he managed to fulfill his greatest wish of becoming a king, he had managed to unify the world and become the True Dragon and Son of Heaven.

Lin Shoucheng could not help but feel like this was all a dream.

“That’s right!”

Jiang Wang went to the side with other officials and knelt. “We invite the Son of Heaven to ascend the throne!”

“Son of Heaven, please ascend the throne!”

Numerous Immortals were watching. The kings of the other countries bowed, while his soldiers cheered.

Seeing this scene before him, Lin Shoucheng was dazed for a moment.

Fang Yuan squinted.

Multi-colored clouds gathered in the sky, and a five-clawed black dragon soared through it majestically. This was what a True Dragon looked like.

No matter how many other dragons rose, there was only ever one True Dragon of this level. It carried the energy of heaven and earth. Unless one defeated it, the dragon would continue to soar freely in the skies. That was something nobody could change.

The Son of Heaven’s True Dragon Qi formed. Even the Heaven Immortals felt the suppression of their powers.

It’s a pity it’s still a bit lacking. Otherwise, within the range of the Dragon Qi, even someone born as an emperor would feel the Five Elements blocked. It overpowers everything in a region. Even Golden Immortals have to be wary...

Seeing this, Fang Yuan shook his head quietly.

There were many mortals in the Spiritual Realm. After he fully unified the human realm, the Son of Heaven’s Dragon Qi would naturally increase as well.
