559: Unify the world

The servant, naturally aware of the misunderstanding, quickly said, "The other party claims to be the leader of the Baisheng Cult!"

The leader of the Baisheng Cult?

Hearing this name, Prince Qi and Qin Zhong were both momentarily stunned.

Prince Qi asked Sect Master Qin beside him, "Sect Master Qin, do you know about this Baisheng Cult?"

When it came to sects, Prince Qi really didn't know as much as Qin Zhong.

Although he was a titled prince with an illustrious status, he knew quite a lot.

But regarding certain secrets, including matters about top-tier sects, he could not compare to Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong shook his head, "Never heard of it."

Prince Qi understood immediately and ordered his subordinate, "Tell him to get lost."

A faction that even Qin Zhong hadn't heard of was either too weak or didn't exist at all.

For such a character to dare to come to the Prince's Mansion to cause trouble, it was a mercy that they hadn't killed him.

The servant then added, "He said he came from the Imperial Capital!"

The Imperial Capital!

Hearing these two words, Prince Qi and Qin Zhong immediately exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

You must know that they had just been discussing the Imperial Capital, and were even more wary of that place.

Now, someone had suddenly appeared claiming to be from the Imperial Capital.

After some thought, they decided it wouldn't hurt to summon him in and ask.

Even if he were a fraud, if he could reveal some information, it would be worth it.

"In that case, go down and summon him..."

Just as Prince Qi was giving the order, a gentle voice sounded from behind the servant.

"I had long anticipated that you would let me in, so to avoid troubling this brother, I decided to come in myself."

"I only revealed myself after hearing you say to let me in."

Crack!

With the sound of breaking bones, the servant's head tilted to the side, and his body collapsed limply to the ground.

This revealed the figure behind him: it was Ancestor Lu, the leader of the Baisheng Cult.

Ancestor Lu bowed to the two, "Ancestor Lu, leader of the Baisheng Cult, greets Prince Qi and Sect Master Qin!"

Coming uninvited, sneaking in, and killing someone upon appearing—this clearly showed he did not regard Prince Qi with any respect.

Therefore, Prince Qi could not help but feel some anger, but he still glanced at Sect Master Qin.

Sect Master Qin signaled him not to act rashly and to wait and see first.

Thus, Prince Qi suppressed his anger, "May I ask the purpose of your visit?"

Ancestor Lu smiled, "To give you all a chance at redemption."

"The world is currently in chaos, and as those in high positions, you do not show compassion for the people; instead, you carve up territories, causing the people to suffer."

"Now that the people are suffering, you still have the leisure to play chess and chat here. Do you truly have no conscience at all?"

"Oh my, oh my." Ancestor Lu grew more and more indignant as he spoke.

You must know that he had inherited the most benevolent and righteous side of Chen De, and he could not stand such things.

"I cannot tolerate this!"

He had intended to advise them with kind words, but their behavior was simply too beastly.

He had come, yet they actually dared to ask what he was here for. Did they truly have no intention of repenting?

If, at the moment Ancestor Lu appeared, they had generously knelt to admit their mistakes and were willing to be bathed in the holy light from then on...

With the magnanimity of the Supreme Holy Mother and his own recommendation as the leader of the Baisheng Cult, couldn't even the greatest of transgressions be washed away?

It could only be said that they had degenerated of their own accord and refused to repent, and thus they deserved to die.

Then, he reached out one hand directly toward Prince Qi, and the other toward Sect Master Qin.

To capture the bandits, one must first capture the ringleader; Ancestor Lu naturally understood this principle.

Arrogant! Too arrogant!

Not only did he kill someone upon arriving, but when asked what he wanted, he first cursed at them and then immediately attacked.

Did he really think they were made of clay?

Sect Master Qin, with his formidable King Level fourth-stage combat strength, had only held back until now because he was suspicious.

If he were to truly start a fight, who in the world wouldn't give him some face?

The Divine Sword Sect was best at swords; he wanted to let this guy in front of him taste the sword of the Divine Sword Sect Master.

However, the next moment, Sect Master Qin discovered that his King Level strength was like clay in the other party's hands.

He and Prince Qi were both grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air without any ability to resist.

Compared to Ancestor Lu's current strength, which was invincible below the Legend level, King Level was really not enough.

He intended to crush these two scoundrels to death, but just as he prepared to exert force, he suddenly remembered why he had come.

Right! He was here to recruit Prince Qi and his subordinates to contribute to the Baisheng Cult.

Not just Prince Qi, he wanted to subjugate all factions in the world and unify the world.

To end this situation of warring princes and allow the common people to restore a stable life.

He looked at the two people in his hands—standard examples of the stubborn and unrepentant.

To deal with such people, simple verbal Influence was no longer useful; he had to add some spiritual Influence.

Let them understand the greatness of the spirit of supreme goodness, and they would naturally become good people.

Thus, he activated the eye technique Chen De had left for him and used it on the two.

Although the effect was not as good as when Chen De used it personally, it was not bad either.

Before long, the two were influenced by the spirit of selfless supreme goodness.

As soon as he put them down, they were in tears, kneeling on the ground and repenting for the mistakes they had made in the past.

This must be what it means to be fully enlightened.

Ancestor Lu told them to get up and even went over to help them up personally.

Both men expressed their desire to dedicate all their accumulations, including their factions, to the Baisheng Cult.

Ancestor Lu quickly said, "No, no, this is all my duty."

He didn't want it, but the two insisted on giving it, so he had no choice but to accept it helplessly.

"I will say this first: I am only keeping this for you temporarily. Whenever you need it, come find me at any time."

"Yes, yes, yes." Both were overjoyed, feeling fortunate for their own cleverness.

In this way, Ancestor Lu had successfully subjugated both Prince Qi and the Divine Sword Sect simultaneously.

Following this, with Prince Qi and Sect Master Qin leading the way, he visited the remaining larger factions one by one.

Under the radiance of the holy light, there were basically no stubborn individuals.

In just a short day, he had already sorted out most of the territory.

After subjugating all the major factions, they were united and coordinated to blockade and swallow up all the smaller factions.

With this, Ancestor Lu could be considered to have unified the entire world.

Countless people gathered at the ruins of the Great Firmament imperial capital, which had now been officially renamed the Pilgrimage Capital.

Ancestor Lu arranged tasks for these people one by one, ordering them to go out and search for bronze statues with all their might.

As for himself, one more or one less didn't matter, so he planned to go look for the key figure this time.

Only after the previous key figure died would the next key figure appear.

A key figure appears every sixty years, but please note: it is "appear," not "born."

For example, an emperor might have already ascended to the throne when his predecessor's key figure has only just died.

Therefore, when the previous key figure dies, the next one could be a newborn, or a child, a youth, a middle-aged person, an old man... all of these are possible.
