Chapter 880 -884 Military and Civilians Are One Family
After the passage of the Time Wave, North Utmost Ridge had become even more towering and precipitous, soaring into the clouds. From the northernmost plains, looking towards North Utmost Ridge, it resembled a heavenly sluice gate partitioning the vast expanse of territory.
The Three Saints Descendant Army was an impressive force; they had already arrived at the silver State Wall of the Absolute Ridge via the Divine Oracle Flag. The entire army was spread out in a dragon-reclining formation along the ridge’s spine, their invisible might pressing down on the steep mountain range and that sizable Fortress City-State.
The appearance of a Dark Vortex at the Terrestrial Temples had previously blocked their advance. Fortunately, they had already reached the point of attack, not a moment too late.
The supreme commander of the Three Saints Descendant Army was Li Ce. He was young and promising, a Divine Chosen of the Ming God Clan, and also a likely contender for the leader of the ten major descendant clans.
This military expedition was a command issued personally by Ming Meng, the deity. To completely gain the trust and care of such a deity like Ming Meng, an outsider like him must carry out every task commanded, without the slightest loss.
Therefore, if Ming Meng wanted him to flatten this land of Li Chuan, then Li Ce would not leave the slightest chance of life for this land!
The majesty of a god must not be challenged by mortals!
“Li Saint, it is this land, especially those people within Ancestral Dragon City-State, who are as tenacious as cockroaches and vermin–impossible to crush or exterminate. This time, Li Saint must eradicate them completely!” said Ming Lianjie.
As a God’s Descendant of the Ming God Clan, Ming Lianjie had previously come with the army of the God Clan to subjugate the region but had gained no advantages, and the envoys sent by the Ming God Clan had continuously met with failure here.
Ming Lianjie had even been taken prisoner by Ancestral Dragon City-State and was locked up by Zhu Minglang for at least half a year. Only after some negotiations did Ming Lianjie finally leave the prison.
Humiliated, he returned to the Ming God Clan, where Ming Lianjie diligently practiced his cultivation and eventually became a Peak King Level strongman. However, when he came to know that there were Demi-God Level presences in the Ancestral Dragon City-State, his heart sank in despair. He could never have imagined that his cultivation pace would be slower than those living in such a remote and barren place.
Just as Ming Lianjie was about to give up the idea of conquering the entire Li Chuan and Supreme Court, all of a sudden, the Three Saints Descendant Army began their assault on Supreme Court. Having been previously dispatched here as an envoy, Ming Lianjie naturally became the pathfinder for the three major Ming God Descendant clans. To be a focal point in such a grand event was a supreme honor, no matter how pitiful their past records of battle were. Now that the formal Ming God Army was out to subdue Supreme Court, there was absolutely no chance for resistance!
The attack would start with Li Chuan Continent, especially the detestable Ancestral Dragon City-State; Ming Lianjie was determined to exact a blood for blood revenge!!
“To struggle so direly against a land of the Lower Realm, Ming Lianjie, you grew up alongside me after all. How come you still haven’t stepped into the realm of Demi-God? This makes it difficult for a brother like me to lend you a hand,” Li Ce looked at Ming Lianjie and sighed.
“I am naturally dull-witted, nowhere near comparable to you. That said, once we’ve taken down Ancestral Dragon City-State, don’t be hasty to slaughter them. Keep some alive. I want to load them onto animal pens and carts and take them back to properly torment them!” Ming Lianjie said.
“As you wish,” replied Li Ce indifferently. His gaze wandered over to Absolute Ridge Fortress as if he was talking to himself, his tone carrying a sense of cold, disdainful pride, “Even with their full-fledged preparations, some minor soldiers cannot change their fate of being trampled!”

As the commander, Li Ce flew directly above the Absolute Ridge City-State’s Fortress, high and mighty, stepping on this greatly fortified city-state, looking down at the crowd whose cultivation base was far inferior to his own.
“Our God Ming Meng has commanded me to come here to do one thing…” Li Ce began indifferently, as if a Heavenly Dragon had flown into a pond of snakes, filled with contempt and disdain.
However, before Li Ce could finish, a terrifying aura suddenly attacked from the dark sky behind him.
The massive figure of a Giant Dragon slowly emerged in the night, its heaven-draped wings providing an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
This dragon flapped its wings, hovering in the night sky. It raised its claw and smacked a living person towards Li Ce like a ball.
Li Ce focused his gaze and recognized the ‘ball’; it was someone familiar—Xu Cheng, the Think Tank of their Ming God Clan.
“Xu Think Tank, your face… how did it…” Li Ce looked at the formidable Yama Dragon in trepidation, then back at Think Tank Xu Cheng.
“This, I shall guard for our God for now.” Xu Cheng was hugging a bloody piece of cloth.
Li Ce was confused. He took the cloth, which seemed to wrap something, and unfolded it, only to discover an arm inside!
The arm appeared freshly torn off, the blood not yet dried, and from the jagged tear at the wound, one could imagine the excruciating pain the owner of the arm must have experienced when it was yanked off.
“Whose arm is it?” Li Ce asked, puzzled.
Xu Cheng dared not speak the name, only pointing towards the sky.
Following the gesture, Li Ce looked up to see the dimming star of Ming Meng!!
It was Ming Meng’s arm!!
Recalling how not long ago they, the descendants of gods, had lost their deterrence over the dark spirits of the night, Li Ce felt as if he had been blasted by a divine thunder, his eyes going blank in an instant!
The arm of our God had been chopped off by someone!!
How was this possible!!
In the eyes of all the Divine Chosen, Ming Meng God was an invincible deity!
“Who is the saint responsible for this??” Ming Lianjie flew up unsteadily, asking in disbelief.
“It is the deity of this territory, a Zhu by surname…” Think Tank Xu Cheng pointed behind the Absolute Ridge Chengbang Fortress to the land, cautiously speaking.
“Zhu… Zhu… Zhu by surname???” When Ming Lianjie heard this, his jaw nearly dislocated from dropping so wide open!
Ming Lianjie had been imprisoned in the Ancestral Dragon City-State for so long, and the person he hated the most was someone with the surname Zhu!!!
“So what do we do now??” Even Li Ce was dumbfounded, the arrogant disdain that once marked his face had completely vanished, replaced by a blank and anxious expression as if calamity had struck.
“Do as it says here.” Think Tank took out another piece of paper, the words on it still written in their god’s blood, so striking.
Li Ce and Ming Lianjie almost foamed at the mouth and fainted on the spot after reading what was written on the paper.
…
At Absolute Ridge Chengbang Fortress of North Utmost Ridge, Zheng Yu, Hong Geng, and Pang Kai stood atop the fortress watchtower, ready to battle the Ming God Army until dawn.
Swords were drawn, bows were taut, the murderous aura formed by both massive armies above the gorge turned into a chilling wind, rustling ominously!
“Our God has commanded me to do something…” At this moment, Li Ce readjusted his way of speaking, the first part of the sentence was the same as before, but the latter part, he almost felt like he was going to socially die of embarrassment, saying with genteel and courteous tone, “At the end of spring and beginning of summer, your fields will surely need tilling, Our God has specially ordered our Ming God Three Saints Descendant Army to assist you in tilling the farmland of Li Chuan Continent, please don’t refuse our sincere heart in farming and plowing the land!”
After saying this, Li Ce gave the order for the entire army to drop their shining weapons, remove their heavy armor, and head unarmed to the fallow fields and waste grounds, to dig and plow the soil with their hardworking hands!
Zheng Yu, Hong Geng, and Pang Kai nearly had their eyes popping out.
This scene was bizarre and absurd to the extreme, it felt like even a storyteller wouldn’t dare to narrate such nonsense!
But the reality was there before their eyes, the mighty Three Saints Descendant Army entered Li Chuan, and wherever they saw a field, they would plow, and wherever they saw land, they would cultivate. What was most terrifying was their great strength and endurance; the army’s enthusiasm for helping the Dawn’s people with their farming couldn’t be stopped. Initially, the Li Chuan Army Guards thought these people were playing a scheming tactic, and even the farmers living around the North Utmost Ridge thought a bandit army had broken in, only to find that all the overdue farm work was handled by the mighty Ming God Army like a whirlwind, their efficiency astonishingly impressive!
Rumors were spreading everywhere about how ferocious and terrible the Ming God Army was, how grim their faces were, but the Three Saints Descendant Army changed the Li Chuan people’s views on the Ming God Clan with their own actions. They were not cold-hearted butchers, they were more like an entire army of living Ji Gongs…
The Li Chuan and the Supreme Court Spirit Roots were quite abundant, constantly giving rise to lands, valleys, and mountains filled with Spiritual Power. Unfortunately, there were not enough cultivators in Li Chuan and Supreme Court, and the speed of land reclamation was not fast enough. The arrival of the Three Saints Descendant Army solved the problem of a severe shortage of manpower in Li Chuan recently…
Zheng Yu was stupefied, seeing the divine character Li Ce approach with a humble smile on his face.
“I see that your Absolute Ridge is infested with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, severely affecting your agriculture and commerce. I have a few skilled persons, I will let them clear out the insect valley as well, so your people can also cultivate Lingzhi in the valley… Ah, please don’t be too polite, Our God has personally ordered us to come here and help, if we cannot satisfy you, we will be blamed by Our God upon return, farming and reclaiming the land for us sacred soldiers is also a form of cultivation!” Li Ce said.
“You have my thanks…” Zheng Yu scratched his head, feeling completely muddled.
“Just remember to speak well of our Three Saints Descendant Army.”
“I am of modest talent, should I write a few lines of poetic praise for you and your God Army?” Zheng Yu wondered if it was alright to do so.
“Nothing could be better, nothing could be better!!” Li Ce was immensely grateful as if he received a precious treasure!
Zheng Yu wrote the poem on the spot.
Li Ce didn’t understand poetry, but after seeing the lines that Zheng Yu wrote, his eyes shone with praise!
Taking the poem, Li Ce hurriedly handed it to Think Tank Xu Cheng, hoping he could redeem the god with this complimentary poetry.
Xu Cheng was excited beyond measure.
Our God could be saved, Our God could be saved.
However, the Yama Dragon had no mood to wait around there and had long since returned to Zhu Minglang’s side through the Dark Vortex.
Xu Cheng quickly ordered the search for someone capable of traversing dark vortices, and eventually found Mingji.
Traveling through the Dark Vortex without the presence of dark beings such as the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon or the Yama Dragon, was extremely dangerous, but considering it was a matter of their God’s life, Mingji had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead Think Tank Xu Cheng through the Dark Vortex.
