Chapter 1098 Massive Mobilization

1098 Massive Mobilization

"What is the plan?" asked Ao Shen.

"The enemy is coming at us with full force," said Yu Yan. "So, we must restart the War Council, summon all the professions, and everyone must be deployed - except for Li Jun and Yan Liling."

"I understand why the guardian would remain to protect the world, but why does the Crimson Slaughter Emperor not participate? We could use his strength in this kind of situation."

"The Samsara Cout has just been established, and he cannot leave for a while," explained Yu Yan casually. Some people eyed her, while others accepted this explanation.

"According to my son's arrangements, in time of emergency, Xu Shi will become the Regents until his return."

Everyone was surprised by this news, not only because a regent was appointed but also because it was the Void Time Empress. It would make sense for someone closely related to the Heavenly Emperor to be chosen, let alone someone who originated from a faction that once was the Dao Opening Sect's greatest opponent.

"Wouldn't it be more acceptable for you to take the position? After all, you're his mother," suggested someone.

"Since my son chose her, he must have a reason," explained Yu Yan. "Now, she will take over the meeting."

Despite being elected leader and standing at the front of the throne room, Xu Shi did not sit on the throne. She faced everyone standing up.

"This is a dire situation, meaning we cannot hold back. Some of you have secretly cultivated Eternal Insurgents, and they must show up for this battle," declared Xu Shi.

Everyone frowned. They knew this was an open secret everyone agreed to keep quiet about, but now, it would be brought to the surface.

"Does that include the Dao Opening Sect as well?"

"Yes," nodded Xu Shi. "Our objective is to hold on as long as possible, so we need all the manpower we can get."

"Then, why isn't the Buddha Zen Emperor here?"

"He's in another world and will also be summoned for this battle."

Everyone nodded, as only this way would things be fair. Xu Shi turned to Ao Shen and said, "Tell the Innate Demon Gods they must participate in this war, and it's non-negotiable."

Ao Shen frowned. "Is this wise? We've kept them isolated for so long, and the first time we released them, they must fight for us."

"They're fighting for themselves," Xu Shi rebutted. "Tell them this is the perfect opportunity to show the world they belong here. After this war, we will have no issue with trusting them."

Their leaders had reached 5-Star Primarchs, so the Myriad Emperor World could not pass on such an Eternal Class powerhouse, knowing the full force of the Commerce Hub was heading to them.

"Very well," nodded the black dragon.

"Although this battle is to protect our interests and allies, there will still be benefits. The Military List System will be activated, and you can gain merit for your contributions. Even the resources used in the war will also be repaid once we are victorious."

Xu Shi finally saw some vigor and motivation from these people, and she finally understood why Wang Wei would show disdain sometimes when talking to them. From this point of view, their greed is truly easy to be noticed.

"Any question?"

"Can we know a rough timeline for when the Heavenly Emperor will return?" These people were not stupid, so they knew they could not bully the other worlds in the Endless Void without such a big boss to back them. And without his presence, they do not feel reassured.

Xu Shi did not answer but looked at Yu Yan:

"We only need to resist the initial attack, and he will return."

Those words were both relieving and worrying. Some people wanted to believe them, while others feared that the suddenness of everything indicated that something had happened to the emperor.

"Anything else?"

"Who is the Commander of this expedition?"

"Tie Gang did an excellent job, so he will be reused again. Unless you have a better option?"

"No, he was brilliant in the former war."

"I have a follow-up: Should we tell our troops that the Emperor was missing? One reason we won the previous battle was the high morale."

"That's indeed something worth pondering," uttered Xu Shi. She did not immediately decide but instead looked at Tie Gang. "What do you think?"

"We have two options: lie and fake the presence of his majesty. However, if he does not show up soon, the lie will crumble, dealing a devastating blow to our troops' morale," Tie Gang said. "As for the second option," he looked at Yu Yan hesitantly.

"Don't worry; you can say what's on your mind," she reassured.
