Chapter 1147 - 1109: Rising from Chaos!
Emperor Jin Guoshi felt very uneasy.
Although it wasn’t him who had established contact with the Sixth Commander, he still felt like he was losing face.
Especially since he was also a commander and had led the Third Legion to a military defeat in the Wuyu Cosmic, resulting in plummeting morale and heavy casualties.
Yet King Jin Jiaodai, leading a ragtag bunch, had enjoyed victory after victory, and now even occupied a vast territory within the Kenta Cosmic!
Not only had he made considerable achievements for the Na Combat Department, but he had also found a stronghold amidst the chaos of Divine Domain Territory 718.
A mere newly appointed commander, and only a High Dimension Lord at that, what merits and abilities did he have!
"Your arrival graces us, Third Commander, I apologize for not being able to welcome you from afar," Wang Ye said with a smile as he appeared, accompanied by Emperor Mu Qiushui and Wild King on either side.
Among them, the Wild King’s gaze was particularly sharp as he stared down his former master, Emperor Jin Guoshi, with unabashed combativeness.
Back then, there had been a serious falling out between him and Emperor Jin Guoshi.
"This is our first meeting," Emperor Jin Guoshi said with a forced smile, courteously speaking, "As soon as I heard that the Sixth Commander had taken the Kenta Cosmic, I hastened here to assist in defending against the chaos races."
"That is most welcome indeed," Wang Ye replied with a smile, "With the Third Commander’s assistance, it is like adding wings to a tiger."
Emperor Jin Guoshi replied with a smile, "You’re welcome, we’re all from the Na Combat Department, naturally we should aid and watch over each other."
"Hmph, such a thick face you have," sneered the Wild King coldly.
The sound was not loud, but in the spacious hall, echoes carried on.
Not only did Emperor Jin Guoshi’s face change instantly, but anger also welled up among the members of the Third Legion.
"What did you say!" Emperor Jin Guoshi’s eyes shone brightly as he fixed his gaze on the Wild King.
"A dog that has lost its home!" The Wild King, with disdain and contempt in his eyes, retorted without holding back, "What’s the matter, no place to call home? How does it feel to stealthily come to Divine Domain Territory 718?"
Emperor Mu Qiushui glanced at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye patted her leg without a change of expression.
He was of course aware of the grudge between the Wild King and Emperor Jin Guoshi.
There were some things that he couldn’t appropriately say or do himself, but the Wild King could.
Because it was their ’personal’ vendetta.
"Who do I think it is, someone whose spine has stiffened with a change of master, barking louder now," Emperor Jin Guoshi scorned, not even sparing the Wild King a glance.
"What did you say!" The Wild King, with rage-filled eyes, thundered forward in heavy stomps.
Emperor Jin Guoshi stepped out fearlessly, with his head held high.
Back in the Third Legion, he had been able to suppress the Wild King, so naturally, he could do so now as well!
"What, a little time without a beating and your skin is itching?" Emperor Jin Guoshi sneered from the corner of his mouth.
"You’re courting death!" The Wild King’s blood surged.
In an instant, Golden Wings sliced through the cold air, aiming straight for Emperor Jin Guoshi!
Combat Prowess erupted in a flash!
"Swish!" Emperor Jin Guoshi’s eyes were vibrant as he moved forward to meet the challenge.
He needed a victory to regain face, and even more, this victory would prove his strength!
He was not here to seek refuge in the Kenta Cosmic, but with his adequate strength, he intended to help the Na Combat Department hold the Kenta Cosmic!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed fiercely!
The members of the Third Legion were dumbfounded.
What did this mean?
Why were they suddenly fighting?
Weren’t they here to seek refuge?
Only Wang Ye, calm as ever, remained seated on the throne, composed and tranquil.
"Are you doing this on purpose?" Emperor Mu Qiushui sent him a message.
"Just going with the flow," Wang Ye watched the two compete.
Emperor Jin Guoshi was still somewhat cautious, not because he feared the Wild King, but because he had pledged himself to King Jin Jiaodai and feared making their relationship awkward.
But the Wild King was fighting as if for his life!
His resentment towards Emperor Jin Guoshi had far surpassed a mere day or two!
Adding to this was his dramatically increased strength, leaving him without any hesitations!
Emperor Jin Guoshi, who was already not fully recovered from serious injuries, was struggling to defend himself and was quickly ignited by true fury.
"You brute!" Emperor Jin Guoshi, enraged, displayed the full glory of his Golden Wings!
The deployment of the same Ultimate Saint Martial Technique but on a higher level and with superior Golden Wings compared to the Wild King!
The attacks infused with the Chaos Extreme Path, even though initially at a disadvantage, quickly turned the tide!
Wang Ye’s eyes brightened as he sent a message, "Can you win?"
"In the Kenta Cosmic, he can’t win against me," replied Emperor Mu Qiushui lightly.
Wang Ye nodded.
Emperor Jin Guoshi was indeed powerful.
Even with Emperor Mu Qiushui’s significant improvement in strength, if she didn’t have the terrain advantage, she wouldn’t win against Emperor Jin Guoshi.
Truly worthy of being the Combat Department Commander.
It was just right to curb the Wild King’s edge.
The Wild King’s strength had grown greatly, and although he had become more obedient, his inherent nature had not changed.
Given time, he was likely to cause more trouble.
Previously, they had indulged him out of necessity.
But now that Wang Ye had the more capable Emperor Mu Qiushui, there was no need to continue nurturing the Wild King.
Unless, he becomes one of us.
To take him down once and for all!
Emperor Jin Guoshi’s arrival was the perfect opportunity.
Of course, it was not just about provoking the Wild King.
Emperor Jin Guoshi was also very important to Wang Ye himself.
He was an extremely important chess piece.
...
The Wild King, defeated!
He lay supine on the ground, his pupils filled with bewilderment and murkiness.
Since his loss to Emperor Mu Qiushui hundreds of years ago, he had not tasted defeat in a long while.
And to lose to a former master no less!
That was a pill he just couldn’t swallow!
"Dammit!" The Wild King clenched his teeth so tightly they made a grinding noise.
Not strong enough!
He was still not strong enough!!!
"Huff." Emperor Jin Guoshi exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression grave.
There was not the slightest joy in his victory.
Because just now, it had cost him dearly to defeat the Wild King!
This former subordinate of his, once easily controlled, had undergone a complete transformation, his combat prowess skyrocketing!
Although part of the reason was that he was still injured from before.
But the progress of the Wild King was solid and real.
His current strength had already surpassed that of the Stone Maned Emperor, the captain of the first team!
Emperor Jin Guoshi’s piercing gaze fell on Wang Ye, who sat upon the throne, feeling a heavy pressure.
The Third Commander was able to make the Wild King completely obedient!
If the Wild King was this strong, how much stronger must Emperor Mu Qiushui be, having already refined the Kenta Cosmic?
Emperor Jin Guoshi’s expression became solemn.
He might have... underestimated the Sixth Commander a bit.
This little fellow, merely a High Dimension Lord, was not simple at all.
"I apologize, Third Commander, for my subordinate’s recklessness," Wang Ye said apologetically.
"It’s fine," said Emperor Jin Guoshi. "When the Wild King followed me before, we would often spar. It’s been a long time, and everyone was itching for a fight, so we had a match."
Eh?
Surprise showed on the face of the Stone Maned Emperor standing behind.
Was this the Third Commander he knew?
Why was he so humble, his words so pleasant?
"Is that so." Wang Ye smiled without pursuing the matter further and said to Emperor Mu Qiushui, "Qiushui, arrange accommodations for the Third Commander and the Third Legion Commander. Make sure they receive a warm welcome."
"Yes, Commander," Emperor Mu Qiushui replied respectfully.

Cultivation rooms.
Wang Ye cultivated swiftly.
The treasury of the Kenta Clan contained quite a few Chaos Fruits.
Weak though they might be, poor though they might seem, they were still a high-dimensional race.
Course after course of precious Chaos Fruits consumed, his level had risen from just above level 6 to 55% of level 6.
Incredibly fast!
And this was only a small portion of the high-dimensional races’ wealth.
Looting like pillaging a household, he gained a fortune!
Compared to the rare Chaos Fruits, there were far more materials and treasures of the lightning attribute.
Enough to easily advance to a level-7 High Dimension Lord.
Yet, even with the innate saint thunder body, he needed to ’slowly’ absorb them step by step.
At least a thousand years.
"One more looting and it should be about enough," Wang Ye eyed the other high-dimensional races with covetous anticipation.
This was why he valued the Third Commander.
With his forces alone, they had plenty for defense but were lacking in the offense.
In the chaotic maelstrom of the 718 Divine Domain Territory, they were unable to expand.
But with the addition of the Third Legion Commander, it was a wholly different story.
They could attack or defend as needed.
However, getting the Third Commander to follow his orders would definitely not be easy.
With a thought, Emperor Mu Qiushui suddenly appeared.
Now under the influence of a soul imprint, she had become his most reliable subordinate.
"Is everything arranged?" Wang Ye asked.
"Yes, Commander," Emperor Mu Qiushui replied. "The Third Commander asked me to tell you that he will fulfill his duty and guard the Kenta Cosmic for you." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Ye said with a smile, "Without the lips, the teeth feel the cold; he doesn’t have much choice but to guard."
Emperor Mu Qiushui softly hummed in agreement, "What’s the next step, Commander?"
"Defend our borders while we wait for an opportunity," Wang Ye said. "The Netherworld Race has emerged, likely reinforcements called by the Kenta Clan. They may very well strike at us, but with the Third Legion Commander joining us, our combat strength has increased considerably."
Emperor Mu Qiushui nodded in understanding.
The Combat Department’s legions were far stronger than those of the Exploration and Source Departments.
"What is our opportunity?" Emperor Mu Qiushui inquired. "Are we waiting for a counter-attack or rescue from the Great Bliss Divine Domain by the Golden-Winged Divine Race?"
"How could that be," Wang Ye laughed it off. "Haven’t you noticed that the chaos races in the surrounding high-dimensional cosmic are already starting to seize territories? It means that the Great Bliss Divine Domain is about to collapse."
"Afterward, we of the Golden-Winged Divine Race will each have to fend for ourselves."
"Ah?" Emperor Mu Qiushui’s eyes widened in shock.
The Great Bliss Divine Domain was going to be no more?
"Where there is danger, there is opportunity," Wang Ye said, his lips curving into a slight smile. "The reshuffling of the Great Bliss Divine Domain is an excellent chance for us!"
"To rise from the chaos!"
