Chapter 846 Zhuge Liang Offers a Strategy
"Forget it, he's a dead man, why bother investigating?"
Luo Li was too lazy to think too much. She flicked her finger, and a wisp of flame appeared in the sky like a firefly.
Although the light was faint, it stole all the colors in the world, and in the vast universe, it seemed that there was only this one ray of light.
The flames converged on the threads of time and fate, pulling Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao into a spatial dimension.
In the endless expanse of time and space, there were only Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.
Both of them were late-stage second-level Sovereign Gods, and even though they were affected by the backlash of the national fortune, they still had mid-stage second-level strength.
But upon seeing this tiny flame, their expressions changed drastically, and terror filled their eyes.
The reason is simple: they were pulled into the supernatural space without even realizing it, which means that Luo Li's realm is far beyond theirs.
And killing them is as easy as crushing ants.
This is true.
The flame transformed into a divine phoenix, burning with an eternal and inextinguishable true fire, like a vast divine sun hanging high in the nine heavens.
"what……"
Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao had ferocious expressions, their bodies engulfed in flames, and they let out heart-wrenching roars.
Their bodies were burning, their souls were burning, their magical power was burning...
"break!"
The two joined forces to try and break through Luo Li's divine space, but the divine power was burned by the Phoenix's Undying True Fire as soon as it took shape.
Holding their natal magic weapons, the two charged toward the divine phoenix high in the sky, intending to obliterate it.
But no matter how hard they chased, the Divine Phoenix was like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror, something they could only look at but never reach.
The Divine Phoenix seemed to exist in an illusion, yet also within their bodies and minds...
Soon, the two were burned to nothing but skeletons, their souls extinguished, leaving only their lingering resentment within their bones.
"How could this be so..."
"It's over..."
The two were utterly desperate.
They were unparalleled warriors, invincible among their peers, and fighting against opponents of higher ranks was a piece of cake for them.
Accompanying Qin Zheng across the myriad realms, conquering the world, and being worshipped by all living beings.
Now, however, he can't even withstand a single move from Luo Li.
What made them even more desperate was that Luo Li's supernatural powers had severed the threads of fate, and his soul left in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty would be completely burned away, leading to his utter demise with no possibility of resurrection.
Even the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty's national treasure, the Reincarnation Pool, could not revive them.
Unless the spirit of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty takes action now to sever their causal destiny and extinguish the inextinguishable phoenix fire burning their souls.
However, the national fortune of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty is now collapsing, and even the spirit of the national fortune is struggling to protect itself, so it has no way to spare any effort to save them.
Qin Zheng is also unreliable.
The fate of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty collapsed, and Qin Zheng, as the founding emperor of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, suffered the most severe backlash.
His cultivation level has dropped from the fifth level of Dao Lord to the fourth level of Dao Lord.
Qin Zheng was now in a sorry state, his eyes showing a look of utter defeat, and there was no trace of the peerless emperor demeanor he had just displayed.
He had no time to heal his wounds; he was doing everything he could to stabilize the crumbling nation's fate.
The spirit of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty was a golden dragon, circling in the sky, constantly wailing, like a divine dragon about to fall.
"how so???"
The hundreds of millions of people of the Great Qin Dynasty looked up at the mournful spirit of the nation's destiny and felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Everyone's face turned deathly pale, fear filled their eyes, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
How could their invincible emperor, who has created countless legends, possibly be defeated?
Countless people felt dizzy and unable to accept the reality, their bodies swaying precariously.
"Cao Zhengchun, immediately issue the order for all troops to return to the capital, and for all citizens who are away to return home immediately..."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun's face turned pale, and he immediately accepted the order and left, unable to hide the fear in his eyes.
Not long ago, Qin Zheng was in high spirits and issued more than a dozen orders to annihilate the Star Mother and Wuliang in one fell swoop, kill Gu Qing, and show the power of the Great Qin.
But now, less than half an hour after they went out, they have suffered a crushing defeat.
I wonder what kind of formidable enemy we've encountered.
If not handled properly, the Great Qin Dynasty could be destroyed.
"and many more!"
Zhuge Liang disregarded protocol and rushed into the palace, urgently saying, "Your Majesty, we cannot withdraw the troops, we absolutely cannot!"
"Why?" Qin Zheng's weak voice was filled with deep confusion.
He has already been defeated.
They were completely crushed by the Holy Mother of the Stars.
If the Holy Mother of Stars were to come knocking at this moment, the entire country could be destroyed.
But that's not the worst part.
If the Holy Mother of Stars were to come knocking on his door, he could mobilize the entire power of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. Even if he couldn't defeat the Holy Mother of Stars, he probably wouldn't lose.
After all, he still has many trump cards up his sleeve.
What terrified Qin Zheng was that the Star Mother had definitely discovered the secret of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.
They learned that the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty possessed the power of cause and effect and destiny; if they lost, they would give the other party their fortune, and if they won, they would plunder the other party's fortune.
Under such circumstances, how could the Holy Mother of Stars sit idly by and watch the army of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty expand its territory?
They will definitely send people to intercept and kill the Qin Dynasty's army.
If we don't summon them back, they're doomed.
Zhuge Liang: “…”
Why else?
Of course, I'm the fish on the chopping block, and others are the butcher.
To cut your losses and recover your strength in time, you also need to see if others will agree.
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, carefully considered his words, and said, "Your Majesty, the sect is different from our dynasty. Instead of attacking us, she sent her disciples to fight. It is obvious that she is using our Great Qin Immortal Dynasty as a whetstone to train her disciples."
"You mean, you want our army to willingly serve as a whetstone for the Boundless God Cult?"
Qin Zheng paused for a moment, then said in a sinister tone.
If he hadn't known that Zhuge Liang would never betray him, he would have suspected that Zhuge Liang had defected to the Wuliang Divine Cult.
Zhuge Liang was taken aback.
Wasn't he clear enough?
He then carefully considered his words: "Your Majesty, if we withdraw our army, the Boundless Divine Sect and the Starry Sky Divine Sect will surely attack our Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. At that time, how should our dynasty resist?"
"Therefore, I believe that rather than being attacked at our doorstep, we should engage the enemy outside and stall for time."
"..."
Qin Zheng understood now.
He also understood Zhuge Liang's intention.
This is indeed the most brilliant strategy at present, minimizing losses and potentially expanding territory.
Most importantly, this will buy her time to develop her career.
What he lacks most right now is time.
It should be understood that as long as the Great Qin Dynasty develops steadily, it can continuously improve its national fortune without expanding its territory.
If we are attacked at our doorstep, no matter how well the country develops, it will not bring us national fortune.
After all, this is a sign of national ruin.
However, the loss of soldiers also diminishes the nation's fortune.
Moreover, wouldn't he lose face if he were asked to voluntarily become a blood bag for the Star God Cult and the Boundless God Cult?
Where is his authority then?
Where is the majesty of the Great Qin Dynasty?
“Your Majesty, we have the Reincarnation Pool and are not afraid of the consumption, but the Star God Sect and the Boundless God Sect are different. It takes them countless years and countless efforts and rare treasures to cultivate a disciple into a powerful figure. They certainly cannot afford to lose.”
Zhuge Liang spoke slowly.
"I suggest that the Bounty Hunters Hall, along with the Bad People, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Black Ice Guard, the Heavenly Net, and the Underworld Hall..."
He rattled off the names of more than a dozen factions, instructing them to assassinate disciples of the two sects or cause trouble in their territories.
In short, we should do everything possible to spread the war to both religions and throw them into complete chaos so that they will have time to recuperate.
I must say, this is a good idea.
However, Zhuge Liang was very uneasy and had no confidence in the matter.
After all, a brilliant plan is one thing, but whether people fall for it or not is another matter entirely.
