Chapter 164.2 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

“Alright, everyone really doesn’t need to worry. Even without a Grandmaster, I’ve already thought of a strategy to ensure we can get through this safely!” Lin Beifan waved his hand and said with a relaxed smile.

“Your Majesty, do you really have a strategy in mind?” everyone asked eagerly.

“Of course, it’s true. Would I joke about my own life and the country?” Lin Beifan laughed.

Seeing Lin Beifan’s confident demeanor, everyone still found it hard to believe, but they had no other choice at the moment and reluctantly chose to trust him.

“Your Majesty, what exactly is the strategy? Can you tell us?” Bai Zhu hesitated for a moment before asking softly.

Lin Beifan shook his head: “No, it wouldn’t be fun if I told you! Just wait patiently, I promise it will be a big surprise!”

As Lin Beifan kept his lips sealed, everyone had to accept it.

At that moment, Lin Beifan tilted his head and suddenly asked an off-topic question.

“…by the way, do you think the Great Xue could become the shortest-lived dynasty?”

“Huh?” Everyone was confused once again.

……

At this time, the outside world was all watching Great Xia’s reaction.

But to their disappointment, Great Xia had no reaction at all, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

“Great Xia, why aren’t they reacting at all?”

“Are they just giving up?”

“Or are they holding back some big move?”

“What big move could they possibly have? Unless they can get a Grandmaster, nothing will work!”

“Is he planning to flee?”

Amidst the speculation of the crowd, not long after, Great Xue held a grand ceremony to change the state title.

That day, guests gathered from everywhere, every dynasty, empire, and the famous sects from the rivers and lakes sent representatives to attend and witness this rare moment.

In front of everyone, the Emperor of Great Xue proudly announced that the Great Xue Kingdom would be renamed the ‘Great Xue Dynasty’, and he would be the first Emperor of the Great Xue Dynasty.

Then, he announced a series of new policies for the Great Xue Dynasty and entertained guests from all sides.

This grand ceremony was held with great fanfare for three days before it concluded.

The morning after the ceremony ended, the Prime Minister couldn’t wait to lead the civil and military officials in a plea: “Reporting to Your Majesty, Great Xia has repeatedly bullied our Great Xue and insulted Your Majesty. This enmity is unbearable! Please, Your Majesty, dispatch troops to punish Great Xia and capture the foolish Emperor!”

The officials echoed in unison: “Please, Your Majesty, dispatch troops to punish Great Xia and capture the foolish emperor!”

“You ministers are right!”

The Emperor of Great Xue slammed the table and rose angrily: “Great Xia and that dog Emperor have repeatedly insulted me. Their crimes are heinous and unforgivable! It’s a pity that I was too weak to act on it before. But now, I have become a Grandmaster, and it’s time to punish Great Xia! Prepare the troops for battle immediately, I will lead the charge!”

“His Majesty is wise!” all the officials smiled.

Thus, the first decree issued by the Great Xue Dynasty after changing its state title was to punish Great Xia!

The entire Great Xue Dynasty became busy, mobilizing troops and gathering provisions…

Because of the grand scale, this matter couldn’t be kept secret.

“The Great Xue Dynasty is mobilizing troops, who are they going to fight?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Who else but Great Xia deserves such a mobilization?”

“Yeah, Great Xia has offended the Great Xue Dynasty so deeply, now they want revenge!”

“That Emperor of Great Xue is a man who insists on settling scores! Before, he had to endure because he wasn’t strong enough. Now that he has the strength, why would he hold back? He’s definitely going to strike!”

“Great Xia, this time it’s really over!”

“Not only is Great Xia doomed, but that foolish emperor is doomed as well!”

Everyone held a pessimistic view of Great Xia.

Because the Grandmaster was too powerful!

In all of Great Xia, the only one capable of contending with him was the Sword Elder.

While wielding a divine sword, he might be able to exchange a few moves with the Grandmaster, but winning against him was simply impossible!

The gap in strength between them was insurmountable!

Unless Great Xia could also enlist a Grandmaster.

But was that possible?

The chances were slim.

At this time, Great Xia finally showed some activity, similarly mobilizing troops and gathering provisions.

But facing the Grandmaster, even a vast army was futile.

……

Song Yufei received the news and quickly turned her gaze towards Great Xia.

Although she couldn’t defeat the Great Xue Emperor with her strength, her identity could save Lin Beifan’s life at a critical moment.

“Your Majesty, you must not have any accidents!”

……

Yaoyao was also taking action.

On an unnamed mountain peak.

Yaoyao vigorously shook the arms of the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her, pleading in a delicate voice, “Master, the Great Xue Emperor is planning to bully the weak. If you don’t intervene soon, the little foolish Emperor is going to be finished! If the little foolish Emperor is finished, our Demon Sect’s great cause will also be ruined! So, you can’t just stand by and watch him die, Master~”

The stunningly beautiful woman looked at her little disciple, amused.

As soon as she heard that the little foolish Emperor was in trouble, she came running to her, more eager than she ever was when it was time to do chores.

The beautiful woman brushed off Yaoyao’s hands, saying irritably, “Alright, did I ever say I wouldn’t save him?”

Yaoyao was overjoyed, “Master, are you really going to take action to save him?”

The beautiful woman stood up, smiling, “Of course, it’s also time to meet that interesting foolish Emperor! My little disciple, let’s go!”

“Yes, Master!” Yaoyao happily responded, following her like a little tail.

……

Meanwhile, various forces were in motion, watching this great battle unfold.

Three days passed, and after Great Xue was ready, the Great Xue Emperor set off with a million-strong army, grand and unstoppable.

Although the pace of a million-strong army was slow, the Great Xue Emperor thoroughly enjoyed the process, not in the least bit anxious.

He firmly believed that he was destined to win this battle with his strength!

He couldn’t help but indulge in his fantasies; as long as he conquered Great Xia, not only would he avenge his grudges, but he would also greatly enhance the national power of his Great Xue dynasty, making it no less than other established dynasties.

“That foolish Emperor has managed Great Xia so well that I almost feel reluctant to kill him! Haha… But still, he who offends me must die! None who offend me shall live!”

“Because a Grandmaster cannot be humiliated!!!”
