Chapter 447: Chapter 302: Splitting a Quasi-Imperial Weapon with a Single Slash_2
Therefore.
Gu Yan and others simply surrendered.
Seeing this.
The killing intent in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes also diminished somewhat.
Immediately.
He stepped out, returning to the First City.
"Supreme Emperor!"
Yan Yun, whose armor was stained with blood, stepped forward, his face full of reverence.
Gu Qingfeng said indifferently, "You will be responsible for handling the following matters."
"Yes!"
Yan Yun bowed his head and accepted the order.
After Gu Qingfeng left, Yan Yun looked at the Star Dynasty army before him, feeling somewhat troubled.
The Star Dynasty came fiercely in this battle, with an army of fifty million.
By now.
At least thirty to forty million surrendering soldiers remained.
Such a large number of surrendering soldiers, if not handled properly, could easily cause chaos.
However.
Yan Yun couldn’t bring himself to execute all these surrendering soldiers.
After all, they had surrendered, and killing them would be against morality.
Although it’s said that kindness doesn’t govern soldiers.
Yan Yun found it difficult to make a decision.
Therefore.
He ordered the confiscation of all weapons, then to imprison the surrendering soldiers in batches, while Gu Yan and An Youu were temporarily sealed off using special methods.
The Divine Martial Dynasty naturally possessed such sealing techniques.
Having done these things, Yan Yun immediately reported the news.
——
In the Imperial Palace.
Gu Yang received the joyous news, his face breaking into an uncontrollable smile.
"Good!"
"Our Divine Martial Dynasty has won a great victory in this battle!"
When Yan Yun sent back the news, the Jinyi Guard also reported the details to Gu Yang.
Therefore.
Gu Yang had a thorough understanding of the details of this battle.
Upon learning that Gu Qingfeng used an Imperial Weapon to decimate the Star Dynasty, Gu Yang’s breath momentarily paused.
Imperial Weapon!
Gu Yang didn’t expect his father to possess such a supreme treasure.
But.
Aside from the shock.
Gu Yang felt only joy.
After all, the stronger Gu Qingfeng is, the more significant it is for the Divine Martial Dynasty. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
With his father present, the Star Dynasty is no longer a concern.
The only issue now is how to handle the tens of millions of surrendering soldiers.
Immediately.
Gu Yang convened numerous ministers to discuss the matter.
At this time.
The Minister of Work Xie Yan respectfully said,
"Your Majesty, there are construction projects in various regions of the Nine States; in my opinion, these people can be put to good use!"
Then.
The Minister of Revenue Dong Tang also spoke,
"Your Majesty, various mines and land reclamations need many workers; the numerous surrendering soldiers from the Star Dynasty can greatly alleviate our urgent needs!"
Hearing this.
Gu Yang nodded, "In that case, these people will be managed by the Ministry of Work and the Ministry of Revenue for now!"
"I have only one requirement, there must absolutely be no unrest."
Tens of millions of surrendering soldiers, if unrest were to occur, would cause significant trouble.
This.
Was not something Gu Yang wished to see.
Similarly.
Releasing all these people back was also out of the question.
After all, releasing tens of millions of surrendering soldiers would be akin to boosting the strength of the Star Dynasty.
Gu Yang believes.
This batch of surrendering soldiers falling into the hands of the Divine Martial Dynasty is enough to create internal turmoil within the Star Dynasty, causing subsequent consequences that would be significant.
Of course.
Gu Yang once considered using these people to trade for resources with the Star Dynasty.
But upon further thought, he abandoned this plan.
Now the Nine States backed by the Ancient Beast Mountain Range do not lack common resources.
As the ministers stated, the Divine Martial Dynasty, having grown from a regional dynasty over decades, lacks manpower in many aspects.
The arrival of this batch of surrendering soldiers will alleviate urgent needs.
"The treatment of ordinary prisoners of war can be handled as such, but what about the generals of the Star Dynasty? What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Gu Yang shifted his tone and posed the question.
As his words fell.
Dong Tang spoke up: "Each of these generals possesses remarkable cultivation and loyalty to the Star Dynasty. Forcing them to submit won’t be easy.
However, if we use them in other areas, it could still lead to innumerable troubles."
"In my opinion, we either kill them all or negotiate a transaction with the Star Dynasty, at the very least making good use of them is necessary!"
"Between the two options, I actually lean towards the latter. Since the battle with the Guiyuan Dynasty began, the Ministry of Revenue has been under great pressure. Gaining additional resources could alleviate some of this!"
This time.
No one else spoke up.
Because, in their view, Dong Tang’s suggestion was the most fitting.
A group of cultivators with remarkable strength but difficulty controlling is akin to a ticking time bomb. No one can predict when they might explode.
As for subduing them, that is simply impossible.
These individuals have familial powers in the Star Dynasty, and with their families’ lives under threat, the likelihood of their true submission is extremely low.
Gu Yang smiled faintly.
"Since that’s the case, send someone to the Star Dynasty to have a thorough discussion with their Emperor Venerate!"
——
Soon.
The battle of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range spread across the world.
In no time.
The Five Domains were in commotion.
Every force that learned the details of this battle was stunned by the strength of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
To be precise.
It was the power of Gu Qingfeng that left them astonished.
With his physical body resisting the Quasi-Imperial weapon.
He cleaved the Star Imperial Bell with a single stroke.
Such a feat was even more sensational than when he obliterated the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
After all, the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, despite its strength, was merely a Saint King-level power with a sixty thousand-year heritage.
Moreover.
The Ancient Desolate Holy Land had long since declined.
Its sole Saint King had perished, and the only residing Great Saint, one layer of heaven, lay in deep slumber. Its power could not compare to the Star Dynasty.
In comparison.
The Star Dynasty’s strength is truly the pinnacle in the Five Domains.
An empire with a three-million-year history.
It had even produced a Quasi-Emperor in the past.
The Star Dynasty’s heritage, truth be told, was only a slight measure below that of some Great Emperor-level forces.
In the current End of Dharma era, even Great Emperor-level forces could not afford to overlook the presence of the Star Dynasty.
Not to mention the Star Imperial Bell.
A Quasi-Imperial weapon!
Such a supreme treasure is unquestionably top-notch.
But in the battle of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, the Star Imperial Bell was shattered, and tens of millions of troops were taken prisoner.
Gu Qingfeng’s strength was truly earth-shattering.
His possession of an Imperial weapon.
This level of power.
Not to mention in the End of Dharma era, even during the Great Struggle Prosperity Era, few could rival him in strength.
——
"To resist the Quasi-Imperial weapon with his physical body, his strength must at least be at the Saint King level!"
"Could such a phenomenal existence truly rival a Saint King with a Semi-Saint cultivation!?"
Within the Red Dust Immortal Sect, Cang Yuan, usually indifferent, found himself furrowing his brows and his face uncontrollably showing a look of shock upon receiving the news.
He couldn’t help but be shocked.
This news was too incredible.
Originally.
A Semi-Saint rivaling a Great Saint was astonishing enough.
But now hearing that a Semi-Saint could rival a Saint King, it was beyond belief for Cang Yuan.
"Sect Master, it’s very likely that Gu Qingfeng is not a Semi-Saint, but may have stepped into an even higher realm!"
Jiang Yuan, who had just returned to the Red Dust Immortal Sect, couldn’t resist sharing his insight.
Saint!?
Upon hearing this, Cang Yuan was taken aback once more.
"Are you saying Gu Qingfeng achieved sainthood in the End of Dharma era?"
The shock of this revelation.
Was not any less than a Semi-Saint rivaling a Saint King.
After all, achieving sainthood in the End of Dharma era was considered impossible, a rule established since ancient times that no genius could break.
This was because the End of Dharma era came with the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, shackling all.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
"While it sounds hard to believe, accepting that a Semi-Saint could rival a Saint King is even harder to believe for me!"
"In the long history of the most exceptional Emperors, they could at most challenge Saints at the Semi-Saint realm."
"Someone like Gu Qingfeng, truth be told, I’ve never come across the likes of him!"
