Hao Ren bathed in red lightning with his body suspended in the void. His spiritual energy had dried up, and his robust body looked very skinny and dry. It was as if a gentle touch could break it apart like a twig. However, at the last step when all the evaporating spiritual energy was about to scatter, it turned into silver particles. The young man absorbed it all back into his body and began to nourish it. The chaos energy turned into particles that surrounded the young man in a cocoon, reshaping his body on the cellular level. The chaos energy from the system reward was also integrating itself in his body slowly. Mira cast a barrier, around the void to protect Hao Ren while he underwent the transformation. The impact of the tribulation had scared away the weaker beings, but their were still some Beast Kings that could act against Hao Ren under the influence of greed. ... Ye Yin came back and knelt on the ground before Han Lingshi, who was sparring with Hao Mei in the training field, causing the two to suspend the round. Han Lingshi asked, "What happened?" Ye Yin replied, "Your Majesty, Duke Wen Kain has killed the King of Fortune country, along with all the princes and their children. He has overtaken the harem, and also the princesses to be his concubines. The army has come to the standstill, the generals are still thinking if they should give up or put up some resistance to get Duke Wen to surrender." Hao Mei looked at Han Lingshi who stood silently. The latter did not speak for a few minutes, as she was weighing the pros and cons. She took a deep breath, "Call Hu Baihe for me. It is time she goes out to work." That said, she turned to face Hao Mei and said, "Big Sister, let us continue." Ye Yin left the place quickly, and the spar continued. The entire training field echoed with the clash of weapons, and whilst parrying the blade attack of the Holy Moon Queen, Hao Mei asked, "You intend to go to war?" Han Lingshi shook her head and replied, "No, I intend to go on a crusade to get rid of a lecherous ruler and liberate the populace. Then we will help them build a better nation." Hao Mei smirked and remarked, "Spoken like a true ruler." She paused and then asked, "What if the military leaders did not confide with you?" Han Lingshi smiled faintly as she put away her sword and said, "The people there will help us convince them or they will face condemnation. These days of rescue and refuge had not been easy and it was only the Crescent Moon Kingdom that helped the masses who bore the lashes of civil war." Hao Mei also stowed away her sword and said, "Indeed, although the whole struggle impacted the populace and the law and order of the nation, but don't you think Wen Kain was a mastermind? He finished his enemies in one fell sweep." Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Indeed, he is a great tactician. It was because of this guy that the Fortune Dynasty has been able to hold on for this long. His family leaders would all give up their noble ranks when they choose a successor, earned respect from the courtiers and the citizen. The successor would then work to get back to the top. In the past twenty leaders, seventeen rose to the rank of a Duke. Hao Ren stood in the void, the cocoon around him vanished after thirty minutes. He opened his eyes and turned off the Moon Time Acceleration Hourglass. He opened his eyes, and a flicker of silver appeared in them. This was a subtle sign that he has broken through the Star Annihilation realm. The young man looked at the barrier around him and then at Mira, who was standing on the ground with reverence in her eyes. Hao Ren waved his hand to remove the barrier around him and at the same time, he controlled Mira to levitate in the void. The sensation was a bit different but it provided him a lot of insights in the way this world worked. The laws of space and time were very fascinating to him. He took out a jade cup and poured in a mouthful of snake wine in the jar. He extended it to her and said, "This is your reward for protecting me." Mira wanted to refuse but the fragrance in her nose, made her react instinctively. She was a mermen, who had formed half of her human body, and needed a chance to go ahead with the complete formation to become a true beast king. She downed the cup straight and took a deep breath as the energy coursed through her body. Hao Ren cast a barrier around her and said, "Go on and cultivate, when you have broken through, come to the Paradise City and show this to the city guard." That said, he tossed her a jade token and left the place. He had some idea about how to use her in the future. Her character was worth taking a gamble on. ... As Hao Ren was moving through the void at a great speed, his communicator showed a message. Han Lingshi had issued a war decree to Hu Baihe, and the general was to lead the forces to subdue the Fortune Dynasty. Hao Ren frowned and used his Heart Soul Chain to contact Han Lingshi directly, he did not wish to put the soldiers of the opposing nation through a war when it could have been avoided. They were torn apart mentally and would not be able to resist properly. *Ding: Host, you wish to save the people. However, if you stop the war, it will hinder the path of your wife. Why not come up with a way that can allow both of you to achieve your goal. Harmony in war, task initiated. Time limit: Two days.* Hao Ren sighed as he changed direction and began walking through the void covering thousand miles in one step while thinking how to deal with this situation. Suddenly, he came up with an idea, given his IQ it was not difficult. He contacted Han Lingshi and asked her, "Lingshi, can you hold the soldiers back for two days. I will go and challenge the Star Annihilation Ancestors of the Fortune Dynasty. It will save the soldiers, and also complete your goal. Rather than war, we can conquer them by rightful challenge in martial arts and spiritual arts." Han Lingshi agreed unconditionally, she never objected to Hao Ren's ideas. Another decree was issued and promptly delivered to Hu Baihe, who looked at the sky behind her, waiting for the young figure to appear before her once again after a long time.
