Imperial God Emperor Chapter 1228

1242 - A Rare Clue

Chapter 1242 – A Rare Clue 

Nonetheless, he wasn't too worried. 

The sovereign of the Sun clan had used the Emperor Detection Technique and had already calculated that it would be some time before the true heavenly punishment, so these strange changes at the border were probably skirmishes before the actual event. Nonetheless, this was enough for him to be on his guard. 

"I heard that there were also strange occurrences that were detected at the Chaos District, being possible that the Invaders had started killing their own. The Unmoving City of Darkness also sent news that their Emperor would like to go to the Chaos District to have a look," Sun Yi reported and respectfully handed the urgent military missives to Ye Qingyu with both hands. 

Ye Qingyu formed a complete understanding of the situation after he finished reading the military missives. 

Song Xiaojun wanted to go the Chaos District, and she was indeed powerful enough to be able to explore it, as long as she didn't go too deep. He wasn't too concerned about that, yet his interest was piqued, given that Song Xiaojun wouldn't have wanted to explore the Chaos District without reason, so she must have discovered something that led to her wanting to make this trip. 

What exactly had she discovered at the Chaos District? 

He wasn't able to find the answers from the military missives he had received from the frontline. 

The only explanation he could think of was that Song Xiaojun had not wanted anyone else to receive this information and thus, chose not to pass it on via military correspondence. 

It was probably time for him to make a trip to the frontlines at the Great Wall in the west. 

As he mulled over this, he noticed Sun Yi's hesitant reaction and said with a smile, "Are you facing any other problems?" 

Sun Yi hurriedly bowed and said apologetically, "I'm honored that you’ve trusted me with such heavy responsibility and would do my utmost to live up to your expectations. The internal military affairs of Royal City are varied and convoluted, also involving the supervision of the various Central Cities in the Dark Realm. However, the officials who held important roles within the military headquarters previously have mostly been stripped of their titles and arrested due to their involvement in the sixteen Great Emperors case, so several positions remain vacant within the military. I'm fine with working unceasingly to support Your Highness, but there's truly a severe lack of manpower at the moment and it is too early to draw on the men who we have groomed. Thus, I'd like to request Your Highness to identify, groom and send more talents to the military headquarters." 

Ye Qingyu nodded. 

This past month had indeed been hard on Sun Yi. 

He had subjected those clans with sovereigns to harsh punishments and this resulted in many noblemen being implicated. Consequently, the military system that had been established based on the noblemen's authoritative power also showed signs of collapse, when many noblemen were imprisoned. At the moment, the various departments of the military headquarters could only operate with the limited manpower that they had, so it was true that he had to groom successors as soon as possible. 

Ye Qingyu knew many talented men; Yan Buhui of the Heaven Wasteland Empire, Lin Zheng, and the others were definitely talented. There were many talented men within the Heaven Wasteland Empire; although they would not be considered top-level experts, they were very talented in the art of governance. If he brought them to the Dark Realm, they'd be able to quickly pick up things after they spent a certain amount of time understanding the situation. 

Ye Qingyu had been mulling this issue for some time. 

He planned to attempt establishing a connection between the domains of the Vast Thousand Domains and the Dark Realm, having initially planned on figuring out a way to allow the talented and outstanding men of the Vast Thousand Domains to enter the Dark Realm, transporting the vast amount of wealth and raw materials between both realms; that way, the Vast Thousand Domains would become a backup base for the Dark Realm. However, he would need to devise an intricate and complicated proposal to push this through, so he ultimately decided that [The Beginning] should be the one elaborating this plan. 

He estimated that [The Beginning] would need some time before reverting. 

As for the extreme lack of manpower at the moment, he figured that the only solution for now was to request [The Beginning] to send more robots designed to govern internal affairs over. 

He suddenly felt like he had done the right thing by developing the earth's civilization when he stumbled upon them at the Luoshen Ridge. Now that he had found a universal-level optical brain in [The Beginning], he could easily delegate the complicated affairs of the military and government to him. The existence of an optical brain was enough for the orderly systems of the formation martial world to improve by many times and also made the military and governance affairs throughout the Dark Realm more effective than usual. 

If he had [The Beginning] on his side, he could easily hand everything over to him and become an innkeeper that just manned the books behind the desk. 

"If there's anyone you find trustworthy, you may appoint them to take on the titles of marquises and kings. All you'll have to do is to update me after you've appointed them. If there's a severe shortage in manpower, for the time being, you may rely on [The Beginning]. He might just be able to assign several trustworthy talents to you," Ye Qingyu said. He was extremely certain of Sun Yi's trustworthiness and immediately gave him the power to appoint marquises and kings. 

Sun Yi was stunned. 

How could Ye Qingyu allow him to appoint marquises and kings? Wasn't this authority beyond him? 

When he saw that Ye Qingyu seemed serious about it and did not look like he was testing his loyalty, he was even more grateful toward him, gaining a deeper insight into the personal charm of this new Emperor. Most other Emperors would want to groom their own descendants and appoint their own trusted friends when they first ascended the throne, so this was the first time he had witnessed such a nonchalant Emperor. 

"As you wish," Sun Yi readily accepted his newfound authority and did not deliberately try to put on an act by politely declining this power. 

Since Ye Qingyu had regarded him as an important pillar of society, he would repay Ye Qingyu's confidence in him by contributing significantly to the development of this realm. 

Sun Yi decided at that moment that he would remain loyal to Ye Qingyu till the day he died. 

He bowed and left after working out the details with Ye Qingyu. 

Ye Qingyu thought for a moment, then connected to [The Beginning's] communication device. He wanted to know why he wasn't at the military headquarters and why he had not sent Sun Yi several administrative robots to assist him. 

"I did all these to avoid arousing suspicion," [The Beginning] said as though it made complete sense, "Sun Yi is someone who is highly regarded by you, enjoys the same status as I do and will co-decide on government and military affairs with me. This was your order before you went into self-isolation, so how could I meddle in his scope of authority…? This was the conclusion I came to after referring to the historical records from the earth's civilization as well as the books from the formation martial world. What would become of me once you start suspecting me of being a traitorous subject or assume that I'm trying to consolidate power?" 

Ye Qingyu was speechless. 

He wondered why this idiotic [The Beginning] would even think that he would be suspicious of him. 

Could this optical brain have been influenced by Little Nine after they spent so much time together? 

He shook his head, for he knew that this optical brain was forming its own consciousness. 

This was a good development. 

"I will need you to take more care in handling the issues at Royal City since I'll be making a trip to the Great Wall in the west. I'll be trusting you to handle the matter of Senior Xiaofei's promotion and all you'll have to do is to execute everything according to the plan that we had agreed upon earlier. After his promotion, please invite Senior Xiaofei to Royal City to handle affairs, since it would be a true waste of his talents if he remained at the Fire Province," he told [The Beginning]. 

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had been locked in self-isolation to increase his own cultivation recently, so [The Beginning] had taken over most of the affairs at the Fire Province. Ye Qingyu and [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had interacted and exchanged communications on several occasions, verifying and exchanging information on the true meaning of the martial way. It had been several months since [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] had gone into self-isolation, and since he was such an outstanding talent—endowed with peerless natural aptitude, and had received advice and tips from Ye Qingyu, he had managed to glean a considerable insight from those interactions. It was highly likely that he'd be able to become an Emperor. Ye Qingyu was also looking forward to him becoming an Emperor. 

Little Ten, the White-boned Earth Dragon was now the most powerful creature in the Fire Province during [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei's] period of self-isolation. 

Little Ten's strength had increased tremendously; after it transformed the power that it had consumed to become its own strength, it had become a peak ninth step Quasi-emperor, and would be able to rule over a piece of land by its own right. However, compared to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], it was a creature raised by Ye Qingyu, so there was definitely a large gap to bridge if it wanted to become an Emperor. Thus, the chances of it actually becoming an Emperor were extremely slim. 

Luoshen Ridge had already formed an alliance with the Fire Province, and at that time, the entire Earth Province had also merged with the Fire Province. All these places secretly contained a terrifying power that could make this entire world quake in fear; this was one of the trump cards that Ye Qingyu was planning to use to resist the destiny of reincarnation. 

After he made arrangements for everything, he left Royal City and headed toward the Unmoving City of Darkness at the frontlines of the Great Wall. 

His current cultivation meant that he could cover this vast distance in several minutes. He exerted the laws of space and arrived at the territory of the Unmoving City of Darkness within ten minutes. 

He looked down at the city from the sky. That day, the Unmoving City of Darkness had turned into the defensive heart of the one hundred and fifty million kilometer Great Wall; all the military forces were temporarily stationed around the Unmoving City of Darkness. In particular, the new army under Lin Xuan's command was the most outstanding and disciplined; the impression Ye Qingyu had of him was improved further. This man was truly a brilliant commander who could rally troops together. This army had been hastily put together, but within a month, he had transformed these men into a disciplined army that knew when to attack and when to retreat. This army was showing signs of becoming a formidable force which reflected Lin Xuan's impressive skills. 

He sensed Song Xiaojun's aura down below. In a flash, he immediately appeared in the middle of the Divine Palace of Darkness. 

"Brother Qingyu," Song Xiaojun said since she had already sensed his aura. Her beautiful face lit up with happiness; the traces of worry that had been on her face moments earlier quickly vanished as she happily rose to meet him. 

Ye Qingyu reached out and held her hand with a natural ease. 

"We've already heard about the things that have transpired at Royal City… You seem to have completely recovered from your injuries," she said and a flash of shyness flitted across her face, before she quickly grew used to him holding her hand. She had become an Emperor due to the activation of her bloodline power, and unlike Ye Qingyu, she had not become an Emperor after gaining insights through diligent cultivation and killing many others. Being the case, she was still very innocent and naive; when there were no outsiders around, she behaved like a little girl. 

"I've completely recovered from my injuries," Ye Qingyu said with a small smile. "I heard that you were interested in heading to the Chaos District. Have you discovered anything of note there?" 

Song Xiaojun nodded and replied," Recently, large swarms of Invaders have tried countless times to breach the defensive line of the Great Wall, seeming to be quite restless and uneasy. We discovered a weapon on one of the Quasi-emperor=level Invaders—this weapon was stuck upside-down in its body. It was extremely odd because it had not been injured while attacking the Great Wall, and this weapon seemed to be inside its body for some time. I think you might even find this weapon familiar," she said as she took out a broken sword from a sword box and handed it to him. 

When he saw the sword, his pupils suddenly constricted and he was completely stunned. 

He recognized the sword. 

He not only recognized it; he had personally forged this sword. 

He had forged a total of five hundred such swords and had given a portion of these swords to a group of young boys and girls to be their personal sabers. This group of young boys and girls had been sent to the Clear River Domain to be groomed by the Immortal God Sect, along with Bai Yuanxing, Li Ying, Li Qi and Jin Ling'er.
