There’s No Room for So Many People Here

One day later.

"Not yet?"

"Almost."

"Alright, you can stop now. I know how fast you are—definitely the fastest in the Human Realm! No, the fastest in the Void Realm!"

"I can't stop. Decelerating takes just as much time."

"..."

Surrounding you was a meaningless blur of red and blue lights.

That was because your speed was so incredibly fast that even the eyes of a Martial Sage couldn't capture normal light.

Fortunately, the two of you were flying in the sky where there were no obstacles.

Otherwise, at Black Wind's speed, the impact of crashing into anything would be absolutely terrifying.

If Black Wind's physical body wasn't strong enough, he might just crash himself to death.

This Shadow of Chasing the Sun was clearly unsuitable for combat.

On one hand, the acceleration time was too long; enemies wouldn't just stand by and watch you accelerate without trying to stop you.

On the other hand, the speed after acceleration was so fast that you'd fly out of sight instantly. Not only would the enemy be unable to catch you, but you wouldn't be able to catch them either.

It was better suited for escaping and traveling.

When Black Wind finally came to a complete stop, you found yourself in a familiar land.

"The Capital?!"

The massive city below was none other than the Capital of the Central Plains of the Five Regions!

"Good heavens, this speed is ridiculous..."

An ordinary Martial Sage flying through the air without speed-boosting methods would take nearly a year to travel from the Carefree Holy Land to the Central Plains, factoring in time for rest and recovery.

The distance between them spanned an entire continent and parts of the ocean!

Yet Black Wind arrived in just two days!

Is this even flying?

This is practically shrinking the earth into inches!

"Black Wind has only evolved to a level comparable to the Martial King Realm and it's already this exaggerated. If he eats a few more Dragonkin and evolves to a Martial Sage or Martial God, won't he just take off??"

Those ten taels of silver spent back in Baiyun County Town was simply the greatest investment of your life.

"Since I'm in the Five Regions, I might as well consume the Five Regions Holy Pill. Trait slots are tight right now anyway, and I don't even have room for my favorite 'Veteran Tomato User' trait. By eating the Five Regions Holy Pill, I can get a high-tier substitute for this trait."

As for the materials needed to refine the Five Regions Holy Pill, you already had the Stainless Flower and the Dust Forgetting Water.

Right below you, in the Great Qian Capital, happened to be another one of the five materials: the Imperial Mausoleum Underworld Soil.

You were just about to head to the Imperial Palace to find Li Chengqian.

Several streaks of rainbow light flew up from within and outside the Capital, faintly surrounding you.

Four Martial Sages arrived. One of them was the Great Qian Dragon Protector Envoy, Li Liushui.

Another was Li Lingyue's Third Master, whom you had met during the fourth simulation when you came to the Capital with Li Lingyue.

Li Liushui looked at you, finding you familiar, and frowned in thought.

Li Lingyue's Third Master spoke with a hint of vigilance.

"Fellow Martial Sage, who are you? For what purpose have you come to our Great Qian Capital?"

You cleared your throat and said calmly.

"I am but a commoner, Chen Yi, from Baiyun County in Qingzhou, Great Qian. I am the lover of the Southern Border Empress Li Lingyue, the younger brother of the Northern Territory's Husi Khan, the brother-in-law of the Star Region Shen Family's Patriarch Shen Qingshan, and currently serve as the Carefree Holy Son at the Carefree Holy Land, as well as the Young Island Master of the Nine Palaces Island, one of the eighteen inheritances. Additionally, the Human Race's Dao Protector Hua Wuyan is my lover's master and shares some ties with me."

[The Great Wasteland Demon Race actively recalling and punishing their misbehaving clansmen was done at my request to the Four Ancestors of the Demon Race.

The Shen family's plan to support the martial artists of the Human Realm was proposed and promoted by me.

Finally, the impending arrival of the Dragonman Race and the great calamity facing the Human Realm was first discovered by me, and I was the one who contacted all parties to prepare in advance.

Today, I have come to the capital to meet Li Chengqian, the current Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

I wonder if you all could make an exception and let me through?"]

[You rambled on for quite a while.]

[It was hard to connect this pile of identities and deeds with the word "commoner" you used at the very beginning.]

[The Martial Sages of the Li family looked at each other.]

[Third Master said to you.]

["Please wait a moment, sir. You have too many identities, and we need to verify them."]

[It was very simple for them to verify your identity.]

[They just needed to use the Xiaoyao Token to contact the factions you mentioned.]

[As mentioned before, the Xiaoyao God had Shen Qingshan bring back a bunch of Xiaoyao Tokens, and Shen Qingshan had the Shen family run around to distribute them into the hands of the major factions in the Human Realm.]

[Third Master left for a while.]

[A moment later, he returned with a Xiaoyao Token in his hand.]

[After casting a spell, Third Master contacted the first person.]

["Li Lingyue, it's Third Master..."]

[Li Lingyue's somewhat impatient voice came from the Xiaoyao Token.]

["Third Master, what is it this time?

Don't tell me you want to use the common people of the world and the formidable enemy before us as excuses to make me withdraw my troops again?

I have already said it, a separatist regime like the Great Qian must submit to the orthodox lineage and complete the unification of the world. Only then can we truly consider the future enemy!"]

["Uh... no, Third Master wanted to ask you, do you know a person named Chen Yi? His appearance is roughly..."]

[Third Master explained the situation.]

[Actually, Li Lingyue already knew that you had returned from the alternate world, and she also roughly knew about your experiences over the years.]

[It was just that the two of you were very busy, so you hadn't been able to meet.]

["Third Master, whatever Chen Yi needs, you give it to him. Otherwise, when my great army flattens the capital, he will still be able to get what he wants!"]

[Li Lingyue hung up the "phone" in a bad mood.]

[Third Master sighed and began to contact the Khan of the Northern Territory, Husi Khan, who was also your eldest brother, Chen Jing.]

["Great Khan, there is a person calling himself Chen Yi, who claims to be your younger brother..."]

["Fourth Brother?! My Fourth Brother?! Is he here?!

Hahaha! I heard from my brother-in-law, who suddenly became the ancestor of the Shen family, that Fourth Brother went to an alternate world. I thought he was dead!

It's good that he's not dead! It's good that he's not dead!

Elder Li, don't worry. My Northern iron cavalry is about to break through the final pass. After that, it will be flat land, and we will drive straight in and take the capital!

Let's meet at the city gates!

Tell my Fourth Brother not to leave. Wait for me to come and drink with him to catch up, hahaha!!"]

[This was currently the time when Chen Jing and Li Chengqian were putting on a double act to help Li Chengqian regain his power.]

[The martial artists of the Human Realm preparing for war was one thing, but the Five Regions were like a sheet of loose sand, and the struggles between regimes couldn't just stop because they were told to.]

[Third Master sighed and successively contacted Hua Wuyan and Shen Qingshan.]

[Li Liushui said with a bitter smile.]

["Third Elder, is there still a need to continue verifying his identity? Out of all these identities of his, if even one is true, it would be incredible. Besides, I just remembered that I have seen him before; he is indeed a person from our Central Plains."]

Third Master pretended to be deaf and continued to "make a call" to the Holy Land.

Third Master actually doted on Li Lingyue dearly, having watched her grow up since she was a child.

Since you claimed to be Li Lingyue's lover, he naturally had to figure out exactly how many identities you had, what your origins were, and whether your background was clean.

"Fellow Daoist of the Xiaoyao Holy Land, forgive the intrusion. I am Li... of the Great Qian Imperial Li Family from the Five Domains..."

"Third Master, I am right in front of you."

Your voice rang out from Third Master's Xiaoyao Token, and in your hand, you were holding the very Xiaoyao Token that represented the Xiaoyao Holy Land.
