Wu Tian Empire, campsite.
The roaring bonfire illuminated the night sky.
Around the bonfire, rows of young people danced in perfect unison to square dance music.
Behind them, on the vast open ground, thousands of small yellow cows swayed their hips to the music.
It was quite a lively scene.
On the iron rack nearby, smoke billowed with a sizzling sound.
A chubby boy stood next to the rack, wiping sweat from his brow while happily grilling skewers.
"Come on, kebabs are ready!" The chubby boy carried platters of grilled meat, jogging towards a group of people.
Jia Jiaqin quickly took the platter and called out, "Come, come! This is my newly cultivated dragon-race divine beast! There was a bit of an accident when it came out, it was deformed and died after a few days, but it doesn't affect the taste. Perfect for everyone to try something new!"
He spoke while distributing the grilled meat.
"Wow!" Wu Tian took a beef skewer, exclaiming with delight, "This long-extinct dragon race, you can tell it's extraordinary just from the aroma. It takes quite some skill to grill meat with this kind of flavor!"
"Senior brother, you're so impressive, casually cultivating such divine beasts. We can't compare to you!" Bai Qiyu said as he took a bite of the beef, then asked, "I wonder what recent achievements our senior brothers and sisters have had?"
"I'm ashamed to say, I've only become the ruler of the Tian Long Country. Can't compare to you all."
"I'm even more ashamed, I've merely become the sect leader of the Wu Sect, and incidentally annexed the Yan Sect. Can't compare to you all."
"What about fifth senior sister?"
"I'm even more ashamed, I just went to the Immortal Realm and gathered a few continents, incidentally destroying a few that didn't submit to me. Can't compare to you all," Su Yunyun said, also taking a bite of her beef skewer.
"Ah, I'm the most ashamed!" Wu Tian shook his head as he listened, "I still haven't fulfilled Master's expectations of conquering the Cloud Top Empire."
"..."
As the group was talking, they heard a shout of "Senior brothers and sisters!" from afar.
Everyone looked over to see a person approaching, who said, "The Four Great Guardians have been captured by the Cloud Top King!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Not only were they not worried, but they burst into laughter.
"This Cloud Top Empire, really, they could have captured anyone, but they chose the Four Great Guardians!"
"Well, let's take this opportunity to go see the commotion, and coordinate with the Four Great Guardians from the inside. Let's go take down the Cloud Top Empire now!"
"Good, let's go destroy the Cloud Top Empire right now!"
Wu Tian was the first to stand up, shouting excitedly.
The group led their army towards the Cloud Top Empire in a grand procession.
...
Cloud Top Empire, Imperial Palace.
The Cloud Top King and the Destroyer of the World were drinking heartily.
"It's been so long, those four behind-the-scenes figures must have perished by now!" The Cloud Top King said, laughing loudly, "Come, let's finish this cup!"
"What if they're not dead?" The Destroyer of the World put down his wine cup with some concern.
Although the killing formation was an extremely dangerous and powerful array left from several eras ago, to think that merely one killing formation could eliminate beings capable of such effortless manipulation...
The Destroyer of the World couldn't help but worry a bit.
"Haha, you know how powerful that killing formation is," the Cloud Top King said confidently. "Besides, even if they're not dead, after so many days, they must have been tortured beyond recognition!"
"Cheers!" The Destroyer of the World also felt unusually cheerful.
This time, as long as they eliminated these four behind-the-scenes manipulators, their subsequent affairs would be much simpler!
"As long as they're gone, why worry about not being able to fill our destiny?" The Cloud Top King said confidently, "Hahaha, come, let's drink again!"
As the two were drinking merrily, they heard a subordinate's voice from afar, "Report!!!"
"Report what? Can't you see we're drinking here?!"
The Cloud Top King kicked over the subordinate who had just entered the hall.
The two continued to drink freely.
Before long, thunderous sounds came from outside, and the clash of swords and blades clearly reached their ears.
The Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King put down their wine cups.
"What's going on?!" The Cloud Top King and the Destroyer of the World hurriedly walked out, seeing tumultuous scenes in the distance, with rolling waves of dust-filled air.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the people of the Wu Tian Empire have attacked!" The subordinate reported, trembling.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" The Cloud Top King slapped the person, killing them instantly with blood flowing from seven orifices.
"Ah~" The Destroyer of the World stopped the angry Cloud Top King, "Don't be hasty."
"The four behind-the-scenes controllers are in our hands, these small fry can't amount to much. Only that Wu Tian is a bit troublesome," the Destroyer of the World said dismissively. "If you and I go together and join forces to seal him first, after our destiny is fulfilled, we can ask the Emissary to use absolute power to make him completely vanish into dust."
Hearing the Destroyer of the World's words, the Cloud Top King calmed down and nodded, "That makes sense."
"Let's go meet those ignorant children." With that, the Destroyer of the World's figure flashed and disappeared.
The Cloud Top King's figure followed closely behind, also vanishing.
Outside the Cloud Top imperial city, on the high city walls.
The Cloud Top King and the Destroyer of the World stood side by side.
The two looked at the dozens of people standing in front of the millions of troops below and froze in place.
Their hearts were also pounding.
Because every single one of these dozens of people leading the charge was actually more powerful than Wu Tian, whom they had been wary of!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
