"I've checked it out. It's as you said. There really are more heaven-blessed cultivators appearing in this world." The Crown Princess' countenance was a little grim."I thought of killing them all, but after killing only two of them, I experienced the obstruction from the world that you mentioned. This feeling is as if everything in the world wants to kill us.
"Even if I don't attack them directly b"ut create some natural disasters to kill them or find ways to trap them instead, it still doesn't work. It's as if there's a force running through the whole world that constantly wishes to expel me. If I were to really go ahead with those actions, I'd probably disappear.
"Even for ordinary people that aren't heaven-blessed cultivators, it's fine if I kill a couple of hundred or thousands of them. But if I kill too many of them, I'll probably be expelled too."
She looked toward Fang Xingjian with a hint of solemness on her fair face. If it could be said that she was unfearful of the heavenly obstruction at the start, then she could be considered as already having experienced how astonishing it was after a series of fights.
The moment she used powers that were too strong or laid her hands on those heaven-blessed cultivators, she would constantly face the threat of being expelled from this world.
However, the number of heaven-blessed cultivators kept on increasing, and they were probably getting stronger as well. Moreover, these heaven-blessed cultivators could fight Fang Xingjian and the Crown Princess without any constraints.
Right now, the only solution that the Crown Princess could think of was what Fang Xingjian had done—nurture the natives and let them fight against the other natives.
This feeling of being unable to display her great powers made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The current situation was still of the world only bearing a hint of hostility toward them, not completely besieging them. Therefore, in comparison, it was more like the world was being restrained by them and not the other way around.
Fang Xingjian asked, "Are you still following them?"
"I can't." The Crown Princess shook her head and furrowed her beautiful brows, giving others the feeling of wanting to protect and care for her."Do you know that this group of heaven-blessed cultivators is protected by this world's will and that Xiao Shen has the ability to shatter void space as well? If they are bent on escaping, even I won't be able to catch up to them."
"The world's will?" Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, seeming to think of the immeasurably big giant that pierced through the entire world. That giant was this endless world's will.
"If we can't find them, it means that they aren't willing to start a war with us at the moment, " Fang Xingjian said."Heaven-blessed cultivators are precious talents. So before a few of them attain the Great Dao Realm, they probably won't make a move easily."
The Crown Princess raised her brows, and she could not help but say, "Then what shall we do? We can't possibly wait until they've become fully-fledged before we fight, right?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "It's just a competition of the rate of progress. Since they aren't willing to make a move..." He turned his gaze toward the 1, 000 warriors on the square and continued, "Then we'll be the ones to make a move. We'll recover the Middle-earth's land first. That will help to accelerate the growth rate of our strength."
In the following half a month, the 1, 000 carefully selected warriors that Fang Yong was a part of rapidly grasped the use of the various equipment under the tough training.
On the other side, Fang Xingjian's production of the Universe Knight Systems was also finally completed.
Looking at the nine pieces of crystals floating before him, a satisfied smile broke out on Fang Xingjian's face. These nine crystal pieces were the crystal Mother Boxes required to activate the Universe Knight Systems.
The process of manufacturing the Universe Knight Systems was more troublesome than Fang Xingjian had imagined. There were many parts that could not be completed with just the blueprint alone. Changes to the environment, requirements, and different materials also caused various problems.
However, given Fang Xingjian's technological skills and production capabilities, he still managed to resolve these problems one by one and complete these nine sets of crystal Mother Boxes.
Amongst these nine crystals, there were three that emitted blood-red light like they were three blood-colored gemstones. These three crystals were the Universe Knight Systems with high specifications and possessed powers that were comparable to those of Great Dao Realm experts.
The remaining six crystals were the Universe Knight Systems with lower specifications. Although they were of the version with lower specifications, they also allowed the people equipping them to possess powers that were comparable to top-notch Tiangang Realm experts.
He depleted almost all of the relevant resources and many precious minerals within the three regions to create these nine crystal Mother Boxes.
It was a lot more difficult to manufacture the Universe Knight Systems than Fang Xingjian had imagined. However, after he made repeated modifications to their prowess, they were now a lot stronger than his previous estimations.
'Although the androids aren't fully completed, it's enough to make a move. '
Ten days later, the imperial court gathered a 100, 000-man army led by the Crown Princess to head southward to Li Region. They started to recover lost land and wipe out rebellion forces in a bid to unify the lands.
As the imperial court headed south to appease the rebellion, a storm raged through the world. The feudal vassals started moving like battle machines. Under this external pressure, they finally entered an alliance. They listed ten major crimes the Emperor had committed and even came up with a slogan of 'slashing demonic woman, cleaning out the Emperor's side'.
Although Liang Bo from Min Region and the three Princes in the south did not send out their troops, they were also shouting as they kept on waving their flags.
Right now, the Crown Princess' army had already arrived in Li Region. The 100, 000-man army broke through easily and took down 13 cities consecutively in the blink of an eye, arriving at the provincial capital—Lihe City. They did not meet any resistance at all on the way.
In the commander's camp, the Crown Princess read the information in her hands about the ten major crimes and let out a cold laugh without saying a word.
Beside her, Eunuch Wang was filled with righteous indignation as he said, "These rebels are really vile. To think that they would dare to defame His Majesty..."
Although Eunuch Wang did not appear to look too different from how he was previously, there was an additional crystal matter on his forehead. It was as if the crystal had grown out from his skin, giving off a strange but mysterious feeling.
However, it was because of this that as his eyes opened and closed, there was now an additional confidence and prestige in them that surpassed what he had before.
He had clearly been modified by the crystal Mother Box and possessed the Universe Knight System.
"Haha, ever since the ancient times, the people in high positions would always have to come up with an honorable slogan to dupe the lower-tiered soldiers regardless of the battles involved. Isn't this something very normal?" The Crown Princess said with a smile."Instruct the rest to set up camp here and start cooking. We'll just wait for them to come."
Eunuch Wang asked anxiously, "General, are we not attacking the city? We've cleared our way here with great ease and now is the moment when our men's morales are at their peaks. On the contrary, Lihe City's Regional Governor Ning Baichuan and Wang Clan's Wang Daoyuan are now in an anxious state, barely being able to gather soldiers. Their situation is one where they are plagued by both internal and external woes..."
The Crown Princess shook her head and interrupted Eunuch Wang's words. Her red and moist lips broke into a charming and confident smile, causing even Eunuch Wang to be in a slight daze. He quickly lowered his head. In Eunuch Wang's heart, this alluring yet powerful woman was someone whom only the Emperor could be a good match for.
