485: Chen De's Love

In the Xichen Domain, two of the seven major human factions had already been crippled due to the yin extreme origin source.

Among the remaining four major factions, excluding the Zhengyuan Sect, the North Domain Star Palace was the strongest, and their Palace Master, Nie Yue, was the strongest powerhouse in the Xichen Domain second only to Chang Qi.

It would be inappropriate for Chen De to target him right off the bat; it would be better to find a soft target.

Next was the Heartless Hall, but the Hall Master of the Heartless Hall had a deep connection with Yuan Chen, and it was located the furthest distance from the Zhengyuan Sect.

Therefore, for Chen De, it would be best to deal with the Heartless Hall last.

The next two major human factions were the Star Abyss and the Qianqiu Palace.

The Star Abyss was a place easy to defend and hard to attack, so it was self-evident who should be chosen in the end.

It was the Qianqiu Palace!

The Qianqiu Palace was the weakest in terms of strength after the Tongyou Pavilion and the Heavenly Sun Sect had been crippled.

Other factions had rushed to kick them while they were down, but the Qianqiu Palace had not managed to reap much benefit from it.

They had only obtained a little over a billion star systems, mainly those close to their own territory.

The reason was simple: the Qianqiu Palace Master, Fairy Xian Qing, was the last to achieve immortality among the human immortal cultivators in the Xichen Domain, and naturally, she was also the weakest.

By choosing her, Chen De could directly execute a decapitation tactic and wipe out the entire Qianqiu Palace with lightning speed.

Then, he would quickly absorb the strength of the Qianqiu Palace, Influence Fairy Xian Qing, gather the resources, and consume Fairy Xian Qing along with them.

By using war to sustain war in this manner, Chen De's strength would increase every time he cleared a faction.

After finally breaking through the entire Xichen Domain, he could face the final boss—the Grand Elder Chang Qi.

Come to think of it, the boss was actually in the newbie village!

The Xichen Domain was the first stop Chen De would conquer after arriving at the Upper Plane.

At the same time, because Chen De's goal was not to kill, but to liberate, as well as to extract a small amount of resources.

In the Upper Plane, he did not want to overuse the power of the Evil God.

As the saying went, the waters of the Upper Plane were very deep, far deeper than those of the Lower Plane.

Therefore, it would suffice to use the small number of people he had Influenced to manipulate the majority who had not been Influenced.

After receiving the reply from the Grand Elder, Chen De rushed back to the Zhengyuan Continent to assemble his troops.

"Are you ready, children?"

"Ready, Sect Master!"

"I can't hear what you are saying!"

"Ready, ready, Sect Master!"

"Who is the kind, kind, and greatest person in the world?"

"The Supreme Holy Mother!"

Looking at the energetic disciples, a look of immense gratification appeared in Chen De's eyes.

He stepped out of the ranks and came before a disciple, "What is your name?"

The disciple immediately answered loudly, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I am Ji Bochang from the Third Planet Continent of the 98,432,566th Star System!"

Before Chen De could speak, the group of elders behind him began to clamor noisily.

"I can't hear you!"

"I can't hear you at all!"

"Say it again!"

"With such a small voice, you still want to pilot a flying sword?"

"Yes!" The disciple roared this time, his face flushed red as he bellowed, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I am Ji Bochang from the Third Planet Continent of the 98,432,566th Star System!"

Chen De nodded and said loudly, "Good, next!"

After saying this, he turned his head to look at a disciple beside Ji Bochang.

After the disciple understood Chen De's meaning, he copied Ji Bochang's second attempt and also bellowed, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I am Yin Jingduan from the First Planet Continent of the 7,274,399th Star System!"

Chen De was undoubtedly even more satisfied after hearing this, "Good, very spirited, next!"

Thus, the next disciple also began their self-introduction.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I am from..."

There were so many disciples present that Chen De certainly wouldn't let them finish one by one.

He had just randomly picked a few in the front row to let them make some noise, just to go through the motions.

He hovered high above and raised his hand, pressing it down gently, and the entire venue instantly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Disciples, the future of our Zhengyuan Sect must be entrusted to your hands.

The Zhengyuan Sect is yours, it is mine, but in the end, it belongs to everyone."

"Building the Zhengyuan Sect, this common home of ours, is an inescapable duty for all members of the Zhengyuan Sect."

"For it, I can give everything, including my own life!"

"So, children, what about you?"

All the disciples, along with the sect elders, roared together, "We swear to be loyal to the sect until death!"

In an instant, a momentum like a landslide and tsunami surged forth, shaking away all the clouds outside the entire Zhengyuan Continent.

"Good, good, good!"

Chen De said the word "good" three times in a row and said gratifiedly, "With you in the Zhengyuan Sect, with you good children, I can rest assured when it is handed over to you in the future."

"Long live the Sect Master!"

"Long live the Sect!"

"Long live the disciples!"

After the disciples and elders finished saying the first two, Chen De added another one.

With the entire sect so united, why worry that the Xichen Domain cannot be unified.

Thus, Chen De continued his speech, "I think some disciples might know the reason why I gathered you here today, but some might not."

"But I want to tell you here that this will be a very great undertaking!"

"In the Xichen Domain, the seven major human factions and the five major alien factions have been in a state of chaos for years."

"Because of this, our Zhengyuan Sect is constantly threatened by external forces."

"How many disciples' homes and loved ones have perished under these threats."

"As the Sect Master, failing to protect them, whenever I think of this matter, I cannot help but feel hateful and regretful."

"Think of those relatives who died tragically, the planet continents.

The vast majority of them didn't even leave behind a corpse, turning into cosmic dust; some didn't even have the qualification to become cosmic dust."

After Chen De said these words, the atmosphere in the air seemed to become heavy and sorrowful.

There were also some disciples whose eyes revealed a trace of tears.

Many of them had gone through great hardships to join the Zhengyuan Sect for their own future and destiny.

Relying on the hot blood of youth, they climbed up step by step, and finally, they arrived at the headquarters continent of the Zhengyuan Sect.

The disciples here had the best resources, cultivation techniques, and guidance.

But in this process, how much had they lost?

For the sake of cultivation, even if their hometowns were destroyed and their loved ones all dead, they dared not go back even once.

It was not that the Zhengyuan Sect did not allow it, but that they were unwilling; they could no longer give up their own cultivation.

Most crucially, it was their helplessness; even if they went back, it would be of no use, as their hometown was already gone.

Therefore, these disciples could only hide this grief in their hearts and continue their cultivation.
