Chapter 374: Chapter 147: Deploying Troops to the Demon World, Dark Dirt Obstructing the Road!_2

These four places are indeed teeming with ancient divine spirits.

Under such circumstances, it is not just Chen Chang’an, the newly promoted Heavenly Venerate, who might find it challenging; even a supreme Heavenly Venerate like the Yin Emperor would likely face a tough situation if he carelessly ventured into these places.

The next moment, as if sensing Chen Chang’an’s hesitation, the Yin Emperor continued:

"Officer Song, the appearance of ancient divine spirits in the Demon World is truly unexpected."

"However, if we can establish a foothold there, it will be hugely beneficial to our Rebirth Hall."

"Officer Song, you possess the Primordial Demon Dharma Aspect, so there might actually be a chance for you to achieve enlightenment in that place."

"Of course, if you are unwilling to go, it’s okay. I won’t force you."

Hearing the Yin Emperor’s words, Chen Chang’an fell silent for a moment.

Then, after weighing something in his mind, he said to the Yin Emperor:

"No need to worry, Your Majesty. I’ve considered it, and I will make a trip to the Demon World." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Really? Thank you, Officer Song."

Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s response, the Yin Emperor looked at him with surprise, and he eventually broke into a delighted smile.

As an essential location, losing the Demon World would indeed be a significant setback for Rebirth Hall.

However, he also knew that the place was fraught with danger and successfully maintaining control was unrealistic.

Given the current situation of Rebirth Hall, Chen Chang’an seemed to be their only glimmer of hope.

Another reason the Yin Emperor wanted Chen Chang’an to go to the Demon World was to test whether he could truly awaken the Primordial Demon Dharma Aspect and become the ruler of the Demon World.

It was a risky move, but if successful, Rebirth Hall would have nothing to fear in the future.

Of course, the Yin Emperor understood the inherent danger, which is why he sought Chen Chang’an’s opinion earnestly. If Chen Chang’an did not agree, he would not press the issue.

In the worst-case scenario, they would simply have to abandon the stronghold in the Demon World.

The loss of a single stronghold was a price he was willing to pay.

"If there is nothing else, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

At that moment, Chen Chang’an gave a bow and spoke.

He could not embark on a journey to the Demon World unprepared—arrangements were necessary.

Arrangements for the Netherworld, instructions for his comrades at Emperor Song’s Palace—all of these matters required his attention, and he could not leave hastily.

Soon enough, Chen Chang’an gathered all the current officers in Emperor Song’s Palace.

"To all the officers, His Majesty has ordered me to maintain our position in the Demon World."

"I will now make the necessary work arrangements."

"..."

Once all the tasks were delegated, only his top four officers, including Black Impermanence, had yet to receive their assignments.

As the only four reliable subordinates at his disposal, Chen Chang’an, of course, had plans for them.

The next moment, he looked at the four individuals and said:

"Impermanence, both of you just made a breakthrough, and your cultivation is still unstable, so you should stay in the Netherworld."

"Chi Mei, You Huang, you two will accompany me."

"Bring all the officers from your tribes."

"Yes, sir."

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s command, the four had no objections and respectfully acknowledged his orders.

"Master, I wish to accompany you as well."

At that moment, Gu Yue’er, who was standing nearby, suddenly voiced her desire to follow Chen Chang’an.

"Okay."

Chen Chang’an looked at Gu Yue’er for a moment, then nodded his approval.

"Sir, should we recall the Earth Bodhisattva?"

[White Impermanence] asked, referring to Mao Ruxue.

"That’s unnecessary," Chen Chang’an shook his head.

"With the fusion of the three thousand realms and the advent of divine spirits now is the perfect time to consolidate the True King’s Dharma."

"Let her remain at Emperor Song’s Palace to cultivate."

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s decision, White Impermanence respectfully bowed and said no more.

"Alright, Chi Mei, You Huang, you two should prepare to depart. We will set off in three days."

Seeing that no one else had anything to say, Chen Chang’an addressed [You Huang] and Chi Mei.

"By your command, sir!"

[You Huang] and Chi Mei immediately bowed and then went off to make preparations.

...

"Hey, have you heard? There are rumors that Emperor Song is heading to the Demon World!"

"What? Emperor Song is going to the Demon World? You must be joking. He’s comfortably situated in the Silent Death Sea. Why would he want to go to the Demon World?"

"It’s true! Dear companion, I’m not lying. This news is starting to spread. There are rumors that Emperor Song’s entourage has already set off and will soon reach the Demon World!"

"Really? That’s hard to believe. It’s not that I doubt you, but this is just too outrageous. If you had said this earlier, perhaps I would have believed that Emperor Song would visit the Demon World, but now? This just seems impossible."

"Isn’t it common knowledge that the Demon World is now suffused with ancient divine spirits? Wouldn’t going there be just asking for trouble?"

"Oh dear, why can’t you understand? The honest truth is, my uncle’s cousin works in Emperor Song’s Palace; he told me that this news is real."

"Rumor has it that Emperor Song wants to go to the Demon World to retrieve the Primordial Demon’s true body and achieve enlightenment!"

"Hiss! So, it’s true?!"
