Sage Monarch

Eternal Millennium had amazing energy arts, and was growing an army of martial-god soldier-kings. Although his army wasn't finished yet, once it was, it would make the War God Commander's Tally seem virtually useless.

The War God Commander's Tally was the secret reserve power of an entire sect, which could be used to fight a Paramount God and defend the entire sect. Considering that, what would the martial-god soldier-kings be capable of? Would they be able to slaughter angels in battle? Would they make Eternal Millennium the ultimate figure in existence, someone beyond the match of any Paramount God?

Now that Yang Qi knew Eternal Millennium's secrets, there was no way he would let his plot come to fruition. However, he didn't simply ruin the growing martial-god soldier-kings. He would let Eternal Millennium bring them to fruition, then turn them into a weapon for his own use, most likely against the Proud Clan.

He wanted to use the destinies of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and Nacrelight Sageland to finish the martial-god soldier-kings, but to do that, he had to be stronger. Thus, he intended to track down another piece of the Mahātmā Jade.

Thanks to his previous divinations, he knew a piece of the Mahātmā Jade was located in an island nation.

The ocean was covered with countless such island nations, most of which were entire continents as large as the House of God Ordainment. Many times, hundreds or thousands of those continents would join forces as a sect or imperial dynasty. Such locations had destiny greater than the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty or the Nacrelight Sageland, and a proliferation of countless experts.

Thankfully, Yang Qi wasn't worried about even Paramount Gods.

"Clone!"

Yang Qi shivered as he used Life-Death Void-Destruction God-Lightning to create another body. It was a mid Perfect God that would completely fool Eternal Millennium. In fact, Eternal Millennium would even be able to control it.

Next, he produced a bracelet and handed it to Jadefall. "This is all the wealth created with the God Legion Seal after I reached the Unbounded level. There are trillions in godnotes and plenty of perfect caliber godstones. I doubt even the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty has as much wealth as this. It should be more than enough to fuel the growth of the Sage Monarch Society. Give some of it to Mother Voidwalker and her people to improve profits. Use the godstones to get the various precious materials you need for your cultivation. I want you to reach the Unbounded level as soon as possible. I've also had Mother Voidwalker arrange to make you a disciple in the Nacrelight Sageland. That way, you can go to the Supplication God Temple and use the ancient sacrificial techniques to benefit yourself. I've already had them purchase the head of a Paramount God from the dao of devils, which you can sacrifice to gain a fifty percent chance of reaching the Unbounded level."

"I've already started working on that. The sacrifice should be an easy thing to do. And although it's good to have so many godnotes, there are some things that godnotes can't buy. Thankfully, Paramount Gods will scramble like a flock of wild ducks for perfect caliber godstones, so we should be able to work something out."

The House of God Ordainment only had a few perfect caliber godstones, but Yang Qi could create mountains of them. Of course, the Sage Monarch Consortium wouldn't just throw around such godstones casually, otherwise Paramount Gods would gather like sharks to blood, and destroy the consortium.

The Sage Monarch Consortium as a whole was only as strong as an early Paramount God, and would need many thousands of years before it was on the same level as the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty.

Next, Yang Qi summoned his friends and family, which was when an immense force suddenly weighed down on the god kingdom of the House of God Ordainment.

All of the top experts were shocked, as it was the aura of an Unbounded expert.

Yang Qi's expression flickered for a moment, then resolved into a smile. "I should've known. The Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, plus that ancient sacrifice and the godpower of Mother Voidwalker, actually did the trick. Yang Immortal-Slayer is now an Unbounded expert!"

The newcomer was indeed Yang Immortal-Slayer, and he had reached the Unbounded level.

Laughter rang out as he appeared. "I've finally developed Unbounded will convergence, everyone. Henceforth, I'll take the lead in the Sage Monarch Society. I'll operate in the light, and Yang Qi will operate in the shadows. With the two of us working together, nothing in the god world can stop us."

"Excellent!" Yang Qi exclaimed. "This is going better than I'd planned! You must've spent a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to achieve this breakthrough so quickly. According to my previous calculations, it should've taken you a few hundred more years. The Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill and the power of that ancient sacrifice really did provoke a major transformation."

"It was King Immortal-Slayer," Yang Immortal-Slayer said. "He used a heaven-defying ability to draw on ultimate powers of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. In the critical moment, my thinking expanded by hundreds of times, and I broke through all limits to reach my current level."

Yang Qi's heart thumped a bit. "Is King Immortal-Slayer that anxious to help you? Are you sure this isn't some kind of trick?"

Looking very serious, Yang Immortal-Slayer said, "According to what he said, his Paramount God opponent has been speeding up their efforts to break into the Great Necropolis and the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. Before long, King Immortal-Slayer won't be able to hold on any longer. Whoever this peak Paramount God is, he's a God-Lord roughly on the same level as the Sovereign Lord of years past. King Immortal-Slayer has to find him within three thousand years, and neutralize him. Otherwise, King Immortal-Slayer will end up being assimilated, and that Paramount God will truly become a new Sovereign Lord."

"Three thousand years? Ha! That means we still have a lot of time left. That's definitely enough time to find the rest of the pieces of the Mahātmā Jade. Once I completely combine it with the God Legion Seal, I'll be on the same level as the Sovereign Lord."

"In that case, hurry up and get to finding the other pieces of that jade! I'll take care of things here in the House of God Ordainment, starting with some very dramatic reforms."

"That's fine. However, be wary of Eternal Millennium. I'll leave my clone here to help you completely snooker him."

With that, Yang Qi continued talking matters over with his brethren, and making sure everything was planned out well.

Seven days later, he flew up into the air and vanished over the ocean.

Behind him, the House of God Ordainment was already being turned upside down. Word was spreading rapidly among the disciples that, at long last, an Unbounded expert had risen up in the sect.

That individual would definitely become a Paramount God and take control. Everyone could already feel the destiny of the sect burning hotter and brighter than ever.

The houselord, junior houselord, and chief elders imprisoned in Mount God Ordainment were all completely shocked by the news that a group of Mystery Society disciples had brought them.

"What?!"

"What did you just say? Yang Immortal-Slayer returned from training with the Lord of the True Void, and has Unbounded will convergence? And he's working with the Sage Monarch Society to make a big deal about his breakthrough?"

"They're recruiting new members for their society? They're expanding operations?"

"That's right. You see, there aren't many members of the Mystery Society left. They've been dropping one after another, and only the most deep cover disciples are left. And this is the news they're sending! And there's more! Yang Immortal-Slayer is working for Jadefall! And he says that she's going to be the next houselord. They're even calling for an early election!"

"We're finished. Completely finished!"

The junior houselord and numerous chief elders sagged in defeat. "An Unbounded expert. And he's a key figure in the Sage Monarch Society? Now we have no hope of putting things back to the way they were before."

However, the junior houselord wasn't willing to give up hope yet. "Father.... Father! You're still an apprentice of the Lord of the True Void! Can't you call him here to help? Have him take control of the sect!"

"That won't work," the houselord replied. "He doesn't care about sect politics. He's only interested in finding geniuses. Yang Immortal-Slayer is also his apprentice, and an Unbounded expert at that. The Lord of the True Void probably approves of him far more than he does me." Of course, the houselord was fully aware that Yang Qi was more impressive than Yang Immortal-Slayer, and that he was the one pulling the strings. However, he didn't say anything about that. He knew that Yang Qi could eavesdrop on his thoughts, and therefore, he didn't dare to do anything rash.

"A new regime is taking over the House of God Ordainment," the houselord said, seemingly having aged many, many years. "Chief Elders, you need to join Jadefall. The Sage Monarch Society has become too powerful to resist. Tell her I'm willing to abdicate and hand over all official authority to her. All she has to do is get the support of enough disciples to win the vote. Then she can have the position of houselord."

"Father! No!" the junior houselord screamed maniacally. "You can't do this! You still have control of the secret reserve power! You can fight Jadefall! She won't dare to cause trouble for you! Just give me control of the reserve power! I can use it to break through the blockade, get to the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, and get help from the imperial court! They'll definitely put down this rebellion. Remember, we're still a vassal state! We can request troops to quell the insurrection. Then we can put everything back to normal."

"None of that will do any good. You've forgotten that Jadefall is the adopted daughter of the supreme concubine. Getting troops from the court will be very troublesome. After all, that third prince of yours isn't very influential. Besides, Jadefall has control of the secret reserve power."

"What?!"

RUMBLE!

His words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the junior houselord completely mute.

Without the reserve power, they really were finished.
