Chapter 52 General Jing Yuan, Commander of the Divine Strategy Army!
The far north, the core area.
There is no war or clamor here, only eternal ice and snow and deathly silence.
In front of a palace sculpted entirely from ice crystals, a white-haired man lies languidly in a rocking chair.
The rocking chair is also made of ice, covered with a thick layer of snow bear fur, making it soft and comfortable.
Jing Yuan closed his eyes slightly, his breathing deep and even, as if all the disturbances in the outside world were irrelevant to him.
Two stunningly beautiful women were serving him.
A pretty and charming girl in a long emerald green dress was none other than Ice Empress.
The other one, dressed in a snow-white gown, was aloof and noble; she was the Snow Empress, the ruler of the far north.
At this moment, Ice Empress was gently peeling a crystal-clear snow lotus fruit.
Meanwhile, Snow Empress stood behind the rocking chair, her jade hands, capable of freezing everything, gently pressing and kneading Jing Yuan's temples with just the right amount of force.
"I never expected this."
Ice Empress placed the peeled fruit on a jade plate, her gaze sweeping over the lingering golden afterglow in the sky, her lips slightly pouting.
"Ranked eighth on the Spirit Ranking, possessing twin martial souls: the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer."
"You're talking about Tang San, right?"
Snow Empress continued what she was doing and softly replied:
"Tang San has now become the Sea God and has also gained the favor of the so-called Asura God. Whether it is his talent or his luck, he can be considered top among humans."
"But with his martial soul configuration, he can only rank eighth."
At this point, a hint of confusion flashed in Snow Empress's icy blue eyes.
"That's way too low."
Ice Empress nodded and gestured with her finger in the air.
"Sister Xue, look, the rewards in the sky are written very clearly: increase the affinity with the Asura God and directly reach the half-step God King level."
"This means that Tang San now not only possesses twin martial souls, but also two god positions, and his cultivation level has surpassed that of most titled Douluo, reaching the level of a demigod king."
"Even so, his martial soul ranking is still only eighth."
Ice Empress turned to look at Jing Yuan in the rocking chair, her tone tinged with surprise:
"The seven martial souls ahead of him, even if we include the Silver Dragon King who holds first place, there are still six spots available."
"What kind of monstrous talent must the owners of those six martial souls possess?"
The two looked at each other and saw a deep shock in each other's eyes.
Since the appearance of this golden list, it has repeatedly shattered their understanding of the power system.
Only Jing Yuan, sitting in the rocking chair, remained with his eyes closed, his expression calm and undisturbed.
Even upon hearing the words "half-step God King," his eyelashes didn't tremble at all.
Looking at Jing Yuan's calm profile, Snow Empress couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.
"No matter what earth-shattering events happen, Brother Jing Yuan is always so calm and composed."
"It was as if the sky were falling down, but to him it was just like adding another layer of blankets."
Ice Empress nodded in agreement, staring at Jing Yuan's face with her big eyes full of stars.
"That's natural."
"Besides being handsome, Brother Jing Yuan is even more charming in his mannerisms. He's absolutely captivating."
After offering praise, Ice Empress suddenly remembered the important matter and leaned closer to ask:
"Brother Jing Yuan, Tang San's strength has increased dramatically, and with the support of two godhoods, he is incredibly arrogant."
"Can Fu Xuan and the other two really persuade Tang San to stop the war if they go to Jialing Pass?"
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress slowed down her movements slightly, clearly sharing the same concern.
"Yes."
"After all, it is a war between two countries, involving life and death."
"Moreover, Tang San is stubborn, and now that he's in power, what if they can't reach an agreement and start fighting..."
"Will there be any danger?"
Hearing their concerns, Jing Yuan finally slowly opened his eyes.
Those golden eyes were as deep as an abyss, and a faint smile played at the corners of his lips.
"Danger?"
Jing Yuan chuckled lightly, his tone calm yet exuding absolute confidence.
"Danger is impossible."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were even more shocked.
Judging from Jing Yuan's tone, he seemed to completely disregard Tang San, who possessed the strength of a half-step God King, and had absolute confidence in the strength of Fu Xuan and the other two.
Could it be that the seemingly loud and boisterous pink-haired girl, and that little girl who's always afraid of ghosts, are really that strong?
Jing Yuan adjusted his posture slightly, shifting to a more comfortable position, and said slowly:
"As for the ceasefire, it's naturally not that simple."
"The conflict between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire is a game of chess with humanity, interests, and hatred as its pieces."
"Everyone has their own ideas. In a game, things can change in an instant, and the possibilities are endless."
"To think that you can get them to lay down their weapons with just a few words is nothing short of wishful thinking."
Ice Empress tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
"If you know you can't persuade them, why send them in the first place?"
"What if Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils don't listen, or even try to hit them?"
Jing Yuan's smile gradually faded, replaced by the dignified air of someone who had long held a high position.
He raised his hand and gave it a loose squeeze.
"Courtesy first, then force."
"I sent Fu Xuan to mediate; this is the proper course."
"I have the intention to entertain my guests, but if Tang San insists on not understanding and refuses to drink the fine wine."
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jing Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a heavy hammer striking the ice.
"Transcending the Jade Realm, wielding the Heavenly Halberd!"
"I am General Jing Yuan of the Divine Strategy Army!"
"I wouldn't mind personally taking action to suppress this chaotic world!"
Boom!
The moment those last two words were uttered, Jing Yuan's eyes widened suddenly.
An aura of dominance and unparalleled arrogance suddenly erupted from his body.
This aura was not the pressure of soul power, but a superior will originating from the depths of the soul, like a god surveying the territory, not allowing any ant to disobey.
At that moment, the wind and snow in the entire far north core area stopped.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress felt their breath catch in their throats, their bodies instinctively wanting to submit.
They had never seen Jing Yuan so domineering and forceful.
Jing Yuan is usually lazy, like a big cat basking in the sun, but at this moment, the fangs he reveals are enough to devour the heavens and the earth.
But soon, that momentum receded like the tide.
Jing Yuan closed his eyes again, reverting to his languid demeanor, as if the domineering Divine Strategy General from just moments ago was merely an illusion.
Ice Empress snapped out of her daze, patted her chest, and stuck out her tongue with lingering fear.
"That scared me to death."
"Brother Jing Yuan was so fierce just now."
However, she quickly turned her attention back to the previous topic.
"By the way, Brother Jing Yuan."
"You said before that Fu Xuan, Yan Qing, and the others would clash with the Spirit Empire people when they went to Jialing Pass?"
Snow Empress also calmed down from her shock and continued massaging Jing Yuan while asking in confusion:
"That's exactly what I was thinking of asking."
"Didn't Bai Lu save Qian Daoliu? Logically speaking, she should be a great benefactor of the Spirit Empire, and she also has a very good relationship with Qian Renxue."
"Since Fu Xuan and the others are going to find Bai Lu, they are essentially Bai Lu's family."
"If they are friendly forces, why did the conflict occur?"
