Chapter 1136: Chapter 1140: Long in the Planning Chapter 1136: Chapter 1140: Long in the Planning …

I don’t know how many days I slept.

When Zhu Minglang awoke, the surroundings were already under reconstruction, and the original appearance was beginning to take shape.

Many among the cultivators were skilled in crafts and building, and a high platform or tower could be completed by the laboring people, as well as by the craftsmen and builders in just a few days.

Xuange Country Capital had been particularly flourishing over the past two years, and it had gathered people from all walks of life. The Divine City had not suffered too severely, so returning it to its former prosperity would not take too long.

However, daylight was never seen; the night went from cyan-black to pitch-black, then from pitch-black to grey. Just when it seemed that a faint glimmer of dawn might break through the grey, this fleeting moment quickly gave way to gloom and returned to night again.

The Xuange Country Capital was temporarily sheltered by some pavilion lanterns, safeguarding the people living within, but the vast territories beyond the Divine City might not be so lucky.

The catastrophe of the Howl of the Ghost Star led to the North Dipper Divine Land being shattered, burying countless lives, while the dark spirits, like hungry beasts leaving their lairs, hunted at will, meaning fewer and fewer people would survive!

This was the fate of the North Dipper Divine Land; the nascent land seemed to have regressed to the wilderness era in an instant, with the Human Race fleeing and wandering on this dim earth, unable to find a place to settle and live in peace.

Zhu Minglang woke up on the bed, the feeling of heaviness in his head had disappeared.

It was only now that he realized this was probably a sequela of the Howl of the Ghost Star.

Zhu Minglang stepped out of the room and saw Li Yunzi coming in with a bowl of porridge. Zhu Minglang noticed that there was also a bowl of cooled porridge at his window, suggesting that every once in a while, Li Yunzi would bring a reheated one.

Most of the time, Li Yunzi was seen as a busy figure. It was rare for her to appear to have been taking care of him all this time.

“You’re awake,” Li Yunzi said with a smile, then blew on the hot porridge at the edge of her lips, which must have been freshly made.

When she felt it had cooled sufficiently to be eaten, she then handed it to Zhu Minglang.

Indeed, Zhu Minglang was hungry, and with the beauty before him, even the simple porridge tasted extraordinarily delightful.

“The true face of the world has been peeled back another layer,” Li Yunzi murmured beside him.

Zhu Minglang looked up at her; today Li Yunzi had her hair pinned up, leaving only two strands of blue-black hair falling gently beside her cheeks. With bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin fair as snow, he was reminded of the first time at Li Yunzi’s other courtyard, when they had quietly discussed the nature of the world, she always seemed wistful for not being able to see the true face of the world.

“Yes, it turns out the Ghost Mark Star was a dragon,” Zhu Minglang said.

“All six of the Star Gods are missing, but yesterday I heard some news, Hua Chou has come out of seclusion,” Li Yunzi said.

Zhu Minglang furrowed his brows.

With six of the Seven Star Gods either dead or unaccounted for and the North Dipper God State in such disarray and chaos, the surviving Star God would undoubtedly be the hope for all living beings!

And yet, this Star God was Zhu Minglang’s arch-enemy!

“This could be an opportunity for us,” Zhu Minglang said after a long while to Li Yunzi.

“I am in agreement with you,” Li Yunzi nodded.

Of the Seven Stars, six had perished, and the last remaining one was a loser from the Dragon Gate, his emergence could neither save the now utterly chaotic North Dipper God State with his strength nor his capabilities.

Moreover, what kind of person Hua Chou was, Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi knew best. His faith was notoriously disgraceful. If such a deity were to lead the entire North Dipper God State, even if the common people weren’t killed by the dark spirits, they would be tortured to death by this Violent God!

Hua Chou was the only Seven Stars God left. With luck, he might become the supreme God Sovereign of the North Dipper God State, but Zhu Minglang felt that they must not let him easily claim the position of sovereign of the Star God.

It was time for an uprising!

Once Hua Chou left his seclusion, they had to completely crush him!

“However, Hua Chou should also know that he is in a very critical and sensitive stage; even if he emerges, he will stay within the Tian shu God City. The Ascetic Army, Wu Monk Temple, and Arhat Group, these three major forces have already sealed the Divine City tightly. Not to mention, there are some organizations in Tianshu that are sworn to die for him. If we want to eliminate Hua Chou, we must devise a foolproof plan,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You don’t have to worry about the Ascetic Army, Wu Monk Temple, or the Arhat Group. Over the years, I have formed a Divine Army Guard that is strong enough to contend with the Tianshu God Manor organization. Our Supreme Court is in the most remote location and should be the least impacted by this catastrophe. Within two months, the elites trained by the Supreme Court will also arrive at Xuange Divine Country. When the time is ripe, we can make our move,” Li Yunzi said.

Just as Zhu Minglang was about to lift his teacup, his hand involuntary put it down.

When Li Yunzi mentioned Hua Chou’s emergence, Zhu Minglang had already prepared for a decisive battle to the death with Hua Chou.

The problem was, inside he felt: This was the time to go all out.

In contrast, Li Yunzi’s stance was: I’ve been planning this for many years.

She truly embodied the Female Monarch. Her campaign to conquer the world never stopped, and she always strategized.

“What about Xuan Ge? I know that now you essentially control all the armed forces in Xuange Divine Country. The Divine Soldiers and Forbidden Divine Army are willing to follow you, but we ultimately can’t avoid one issue…” Zhu Minglang said.

This was Xuange Divine Country.

The faith here was Xuan Ge.

No matter how much the citizens venerated and adored Li Yunzi, as long as the Xuange God was unwilling, all of Li Yunzi’s Female Monarch Guards were equivalent to betraying the country and their faith.

“Even without relying on Xuange Divine Country, we have God Guards who are absolutely loyal. I have cultivated some war-savvy God Clan members in Ming Meng’s territory…” Li Yunzi said.

“Ming Meng’s territory?”

“Half of it is already ours.”

“What??” Zhu Minglang took a moment to register the news.

But he remembered on Ghost Mark Star, Ming Meng seemed to have grown quite close to Flaunting God, Hua Chong, Lin Ying Luohan, and the others. Could it be that Li Yunzi pressured him into seeking refuge with Tian Shu God Manor?

In any case, during the days of Ming Meng’s imprisonment, his territory had been a complete mess. Perhaps Li Yunzi had shown considerable favours when Ming Meng’s region was struggling the most. The citizens there realized the vast difference between reliable and unreliable deities, and even if it meant abandoning their faith, they were willing to do so.

Ming Meng indeed was preposterous, bringing only war and pain to his subjects.

Li Yunzi’s style of governance was to establish order for only with good order, could there be talk of life.

Of course, in Zhu Minglang’s view, the entire Tian shu God Domain was in terrible shape, especially after traveling through other God Territories, he roughly understood why Tianshu ranked last among the Seven Stars.
