A rare magical miracle in the world-Chapter 860 - 338: Placing Bets (Seeking Monthly Votes)
The last one, Bailuo really didn’t know where to start.
Although holding the pocket could make anyone the Master of Miracles, as the final step, unless absolutely necessary, it’s better not to play that way.
But for now, just let them start preparing. After all, with 20 miracles, some can surely be summoned.
If it really can’t be done, Bailuo can also find one on the spot; he can entirely utilize the Book of Yagen to find another miracle while everyone else is getting ready.
The construction of the Empire cannot be completed with just a few words from Bailuo; behind it lies a very complex web of interests.
"How can we build up the Empire with so many still missing?"
Micia felt that Bailuo’s strides were a bit too large; even if he wanted to be Emperor, the difference between a King and an Emperor isn’t that significant.
In any case, the leader of this alliance would definitely be Bailuo; Micia had no interest in such an empty title.
"Will the great powers allow a new Empire to emerge?"
Yang Bo and Duke Shenniang wanted to persuade Bailuo not to rush into things, but Bailuo felt that no matter what they did, a confrontation was inevitable.
Since a battle is unavoidable, what difference does it make to declare ourselves a kingdom or an empire beforehand?
"We’re establishing an Empire on Miracle Mainland; the Northern Continent and Southern Continent can’t control us."
Bailuo said: "The empires of Miracle Mainland are either Holy or belong to the Far North Empire; the Holy won’t attack us, nor do they have a reason to."
The only concern is the Far North Empire, indeed a very warlike nation.
As for the Three Kingdoms, they definitely won’t move until the big brother takes action.
Conversely, once the skirmish between the Far North and the new Empire ends, the Three Kingdoms, having finished their tea and watched the play, can cast their votes, and their existence is utterly insignificant.
"Do you plan to fight the Far North?"
Micia’s eyes widened in shock; she was truly scared.
How formidable the Empress of the Far North was, Micia had not seen with her own eyes, but Yang Bo and Duke Shenniang were extremely wary of her, even to the point of fear.
With Six Senses Transcendence and the Power of Godslaying, any fight would result in real harm.
Moreover, the Empress of the Far North’s Superior Miracle is the strongest among all the Upper Tier ones; one-on-one, no one under Bailuo dares to claim they could beat the Empress of the Far North.
Perhaps Ying Muyao could fight her, but what does Guandong Empire have to do with the Yatun Empire’s wars?
If Ying Muyao enters the fray under these circumstances, the already storm-battered Eastern Empire would likely face immediate internal strife. For the moment, Bailuo still needs a stable Northern Continent; he does not want the Eastern Empire to cause trouble at this time.
In that case, the only forces Bailuo can mobilize are the ones at his disposal.
"I’ll handle the Empress of the Far North; you needn’t worry."
Bailuo spoke lightly, but he did so deliberately to gauge the attitude of the kings and nobles present.
Joining Yatun is like joining a large family; Bailuo can tolerate slackers, as everyone has a different personality. Even those who are lazy or merely wish for a peaceful life, Bailuo can accept.
But he cannot tolerate traitors; any backstabbing behavior will be met with the harshest of sanctions.
It can be said that as long as you follow Bailuo with all your heart, he will never treat anyone unfairly, nor will he abandon his followers once Yatun’s momentum is established.
By following him, you’ll share in the prosperity, guaranteed to have a good life in the future.
So, Bailuo wanted to see, when faced with such a towering figure as the Empress of the Far North, what would they do.
Join or opt out?
If they opt out, Bailuo could understand, given the Empress of the Far North carries much more weight than Bailuo currently does, he could understand.
’If you join,’ Bailuo: ’If you’re willing to place your bets on me, I won’t let you down in the future.’
A true King does not kill his meritorious subjects, nor will he spare anyone who has betrayed him.
"Very bold, truly worthy of being the man Saros has his eye on, indeed full of vigor."
The Gemstone Duchess spoke: "Just the Empress of the Far North, huh? If she comes to challenge, I’ll take her on; I’ve been wanting to spar with her for a while."
"You madwoman."
Duke Shenniang, a hefty fellow, was taken aback by the Gemstone Duchess’s bravado, taking several deep breaths and saying: "It’s not like it’s a fight to the death; at worst, we’ll be prisoners for a few years."
"Duke Shenniang, are you serious?"
Yang Bo was stunned; after all, Duke Shenniang was notoriously timid.
His strength was not weak, but he never participated in any wars. The blueprint for today’s Azure Duchy was his creation.
"Why?"
Micia trusted Duke Shenniang implicitly since he had provided her with a foothold: "That’s the Empress of the Far North; how could anyone beat such a monster?"
If to mortals, the Child of Miracle is akin to a god, and to the Child of Miracle, the King is among the Kings, then the Empress of the Far North is like the sky pressing on the heads of the great powers, unreachably high.
"I don’t believe in you, at least not now; there’s nothing on you that makes me believe."
Duke Shenniang spoke bluntly, saying to Bailuo: "But I, believe in that man."
Uncle!

Duke Shenniang had personally witnessed the miracles created by Uncle; those were possibilities deemed absolutely impossible.
Although he always claimed to not be close with Uncle, few knew that during Uncle’s quest for miracles, he had once adventured in Duke Shenniang’s domain.
It was then that Duke Shenniang got to know Uncle and was drawn to his charismatic personality, deeply admiring him.
"He chose you, so I choose to trust him."
With that declaration, wherever Saros goes, Duke Shenniang will follow, even if Bailuo collapses, as long as Uncle returns, he can turn the tides, even against the Empress of the Far North.
To put it bluntly, Duke Shenniang’s fear of the Empress of the Far North pales in comparison to the confidence Uncle has given him.
"If I have offended, please forgive me, but this is truly what I believe."
"No worries."
Bailuo smiled: "Compared to the old man, I have many shortcomings. To trust him is to trust me; welcome to Yatun, you won’t regret this decision."
"You guys..."
Duke Shenniang looked towards Micia and Yang Bo: "Make your own choice; I’m placing my bet. It’s just me..."
"What are you talking about, big brother?"
Micia: "If you’re with us, how could we not follow? The Three Dukes of Azure, we move together; there’s no reason to split."
"Count me in too."
Yang Bo said: "I hardly possess the power of Five Awakenings, but my family has plenty of Four Awakenings Epics and Three Awakenings Legends; when war breaks out, feel free to utilize these resources."
Yatun currently is not lacking in high-end force, but rather in a strong middle ground. With the support of long-standing powers like Azure, the pressure on Bailuo greatly diminishes.
