"Welcome, Lord of the Stars!"
The old man knelt down excitedly, while the others looked at each other in bewilderment, but still followed the old leader's instructions and knelt down as well.
"Welcome, Lord of the Stars!"
"Arise! The development of the human race has deviated from my expectations, which is why I have personally descended as a god. From now on, tribes will be transformed into divine courts, and the position of chief will be changed to high priest!"
"Due to the special circumstances of this occasion, I will personally assume the position of High Priest. After I leave, the selection of the High Priest will require a test."
Jiang Fan unleashed his full aura, and the surrounding phenomena also cooperated, providing ample special effects.
"yes!"
The group replied respectfully.
"How many people are there in the Divine Court now?"
"Reporting to the Lord of the Stars, the current strength of the Divine Court exceeds several hundred thousand..."
The old man replied.
"One hundred thousand..."
Jiang Fan frowned. It was too little.
"Please calm down. After the original tribe split, most people followed some people of good prestige and became kings. Only a small number of people followed the last chief to establish a small tribe because of their remembrance of the sages."
Even if we were just a small group, we would still number in the millions. But the seven nations viewed us as a potential threat and sent people to kill us.
Ultimately, perhaps out of pity for us, they'll let us live a peaceful, eked-out existence in this remote place, as long as our tribe's numbers don't exceed 150,000..."
Speaking of this, the old man felt a surge of anger, but given their strength, there was nothing they could change, until...
The old man looked at Jiang Fan, who was bathed in the strange phenomenon, with burning eyes.
"In the next few days, I will unite everyone and lead them to attack the seven kingdoms one by one."
Jiang Fan waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, then glanced at an open space.
The old man hesitated, "This... my lord... there are so few of us..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Jiang Fan wave his hand, and a magnificent golden palace rose from the ground out of thin air.
The crowd, who had not yet dispersed, were shocked by this scene and had even greater faith in Jiang Fan. They believed that under Jiang Fan's leadership, the country would surely return to its former prosperity.
The old man swallowed hard, cutting off the rest of his words, and said excitedly, "I will certainly not fail my master's command!"
Jiang Fan did not respond and walked into the palace he had built. This time, he was just testing his strength to see how powerful even one ten-thousandth of his power was.
It seems that he can still take on an army of a million men single-handedly, but this is not a long-term solution. What he wants is not to exterminate the seven kingdoms, but to make them submit to him.
He wanted to establish a centralized rule where divine authority superseded everything, so that he could manage more easily, better control the development of Earth, and avoid unnecessary accidents like those that occurred during this process.
I will not sleep tonight.
All seven kingdoms dispatched a large number of people to investigate the source of the strange phenomenon, but in the end they found nothing. This strange phenomenon seemed to have occurred naturally and was not caused by anyone else.
Is that really the case?
The rulers of the seven kingdoms expressed their suspicions. The unusual occurrences revealed something strange, especially since such a thing happened before the great war. They could not rest easy until they investigated the matter thoroughly.
What if it's another country's trump card?
If the enemy were to unleash their ultimate move on the battlefield, the losses would be devastating, ultimately leading to the country being divided up by the six kingdoms.
"My empire shall not be coveted by anyone!"
As if by unspoken agreement, all seven nations were prepared to postpone the war, and even went so far as to use pawns they had placed in other countries for decades.
A bloody storm has raged over the past few days.
People dared not go out at night, and every day at dawn, several corpses could be seen on the streets.
This has caused widespread panic among the people, who are worried about their future.
Several days passed in this way.
Gu Guo.
"How's the situation? How's the investigation going these past few days?"
Gu Bei asked Yuan Fang, who was standing to the side.
"Your Majesty, we have used all the pawns we have placed in the six kingdoms but have not discovered any unspeakable secrets in the other kingdoms. Moreover, the other six kingdoms have also taken action."
In just the past few days, thousands have been slaughtered and killed as spies from six states. The people are living in fear, and few people go out even during the day, let alone at night... This will not be good for the country's development in the long run...
Yuanfang's expression was solemn.
"Is there anything unusual...?"
Gu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly. He had heard about the recent commotion in the six kingdoms. It seemed that the strange phenomenon that night had frightened all the kingdoms quite a bit, but it was possible that one of them was pretending not to know and was playing along with their act...
"Your Majesty...I have a guess...but I don't know if I should speak it?"
Yuanfang's tone was somewhat hesitant.
"speak!"
"Could it be that small tribe that caused the commotion?"
Gu Bei's expression hardened upon hearing this. It was indeed possible. Although they could wipe out the tribe with a snap of their fingers, the entire tribe, including the elderly, women, and children, numbered only 100,000.
But accidents are inevitable; how many miracles have there been in history?
"Send someone..."
Gu Bei was interrupted by a report before he could finish speaking.
Report!
The person who arrived was in a panic, panting heavily, indicating that an emergency had occurred.
"What is it? Speak quickly!"
Gu Beiwei said sternly.
"A large army has been spotted fifty miles away!"
"A large army? How many are they? What country's army are they?"
Gu Bei was very puzzled. Everyone was on edge, so which country was so foolish as to act rashly?
"The enemy's numbers are estimated to be less than 100,000, and their strength is unknown!"
Gu Bei was puzzled but had some guesses: How dare they? What gave them the courage?
"Let's go, follow me on this expedition. I want to see for myself what makes them so confident!"
Gu Bei sneered, then led his 700,000-strong army to meet the enemy.
It's not that he didn't want to bring more; the total human population is only over 30 million, scattered across seven countries, averaging just over 4 million per country.
Excluding the elderly, women, children, and ordinary people, having an army of 700,000 would be considered a sign of a prosperous nation.
A vast army marched out of the city and occupied the wilderness.
Looking down from above, the ground is covered with countless black dots.
Gu Bei sat on a dragon-drawn carriage, sword in hand, with a dozen horses providing power in front.
The two sides soon met about ten miles apart and stopped advancing.
"Send someone ahead to gather information."
Gu Bei issued the orders.
......
"My lord, a large army has appeared ahead..."
The old man, Zhuo Yuanming, reminded Jiang Fan, who was sitting in a magnificent carriage.
"Which country's army is on the other side?"
Jiang Fan opened his eyes and used his supernatural powers to see the army ten miles away, and he immediately understood the situation.
"Gu Guo".
Jiang Fan said calmly, "Just go straight there, don't worry about getting hurt."
"yes!"
"Our Lord commands, continue onward!"
Zhuo Yuanming continued to command the army to advance.
As the army set off, they soon encountered spies sent by Gu Bei.
Seeing that they still dared to advance, the enemy quickly reined in their horses and turned around, shouting, "Who are you! How dare you attack our Gu Kingdom!"
Zhuo Yuanming glanced at Jiang Fan, and seeing that he did not respond, Zhuo Yuanming directly ordered someone to respond: "We, the Divine Court, are determined to conquer the Seven Kingdoms and establish a new system for the human race! We advise your monarch to surrender quickly and not to put up futile resistance!"
"By the grace of our Lord, as long as you sincerely repent, your past sins will be completely forgiven!"
