While Austin was on Earth cultivating the complete version of the Introduction to Vital Energy
Circulation, something unexpected happened in the Sea of Chaos.
In the land of the Annihilation Mountain,
a floating divine mountain was brightly shining in the sky when,
all of a sudden,
a terrifying burst of energy surged out of it,
causing it to explode with a loud boom.
The whole area became shrouded in a cloud of smoke, and pieces of earth and stone scattered all over
the land.
Surprisingly, a single humanoid creature slowly walked out of the smoke, but only his silhouette was
visible.
"Now that my injuries are getting better,
there is no match for me in this chaotic space.
From now on, I will dominate it and control everything here," he murmured to himself.
As he walked out, his appearance became clearer and clearer until it became obvious that he was an
old man wearing yellow clothes.
It was none other than Ronnie from the Annihilation Mountain.
"Atticus, Chapman, come here.
I need to have a word with you."
There was no one around. As he spoke, he looked into the distance as if he was seeing through space
and time.
Soon enough,
the two old men who had been summoned walked out of the void and stood in front of him.
One was Atticus, the former chief of the Annihilation Mountain, and the other was Chapman, the chief
of the Heaven Beast Valley.
Both of them were clearly stunned to see Ronnie.
It was not difficult for them to discern that Ronnie had become much stronger than before.
They felt fear rise in their hearts as they realized that they were unable to see through him anymore.
Although all of them were governing gods, they were no longer playing at the same level; Ronnie could
crush them with ease.
Not bothering to greet them, Ronnie immediately launched into a summary of his plan. "You two will
help me rule the Sea of Chaos.
Atticus, from now on, you will resume your post as the chief of the Annihilation Mountain."
When the two men didn't disagree, he continued, "Well, now I'm going to teach you a set of supreme
skills.
After you cultivate and master it, you will keep getting stronger and stronger.
I'm sure that both of you know from first-hand experience about how difficult it is for you to enhance
your strength after becoming governing gods.
What I'm offering now is a special opportunity. I hope you two can make full use of it."
Both Atticus' and Chapman's jaws almost dropped in shock after they heard these words. They didn't
know what they had done to deserve such good treatment.
"Really? Are you really willing to do that?
That's amazing!" Atticus said.
It was true that at their current level, they had to spend a lot of time and energy cultivating to increase
just a little bit of their strength.
But with the techniques that Ronnie was offering to teach them, they would be able to increase their
strength with ease and at a much faster rate. They had no reason to refuse.
"Yes, yes,"
Ronnie replied lightly, as if this was no big deal to him.
With a wave of his hand, he conveyed some information about the magic skill into both of their Soul
Seas through spiritual sense.
Once Atticus and Chapman received the information, they thanked Ronnie profusely before leaving to
cultivate in seclusion.
After they teleported away, Ronnie continued staring at the spot in front of him with a thoughtful
expression on his face.
Then, something seemed to occur to him. His eyes lit up, and he immediately called, "Guards!"
He had barely uttered the word when two-semi governing gods appeared in front of him, staring at him
with adulation in their eyes.
"Yes, sir. What can we do for you?" they asked in unison.
"Send our emissaries to announce my imperial edict to everyone!
From now on, the Sea of Chaos will be led by our Annihilation Mountain.
All the creatures must abide by my orders.
Anyone who dares to disobey me will face death,"
Ronnie said casually.
Realizing that their leader was proclaiming himself the ruler of the Sea of Chaos, the two semi-
governing gods became extremely excited.
They had always known that their leader was capable of great things, so the fact that he was going to
officially conquer the whole Sea of Chaos came as great news to them.
"Yes, sir!" they replied enthusiastically.
Soon, emissaries left the Annihilation Mountain one after another, going to all ends of the Sea of Chaos
to announce this information.
Naturally, the news spread, causing quite a sensation in the Sea of Chaos.
Not long before this, Ronnie had vanished as if into thin air. No one had known his whereabouts or if he
was even alive.
But suddenly, he had reappeared with a bang.
Every time the imperial edict was read out by an emissary,
the intimidating projection of an old man in yellow clothes would appear.
By the end of the day, almost all of the creatures in the Sea of Chaos had seen him hovering
majestically in the void.
In fact, this projection was a mark that Ronnie had engraved on the imperial edict.
Although it wasn't a tangible being, it gave off a terrifying and domineering aura that struck fear into the
hearts of all the creatures. They didn't even dare to look at the projection of the old man in the eye.
Of course, the fear only lasted for a few moments. Once the news sunk in, they all burst out into
discussion.
"Can you believe the nerve of the Annihilation Mountain? They actually want to rule the entire Sea of
Chaos!"
"There are so many powerful forces in the Sea of Chaos right now. How can Ronnie expect the
Annihilation Mountain to be the ruling force?
Isn't this going to turn into war?"
Such comments could be heard everywhere in the Sea of Chaos.
Of course, all the creatures spoke in low voices or communicated through spiritual sense in order to
escape Ronnie's notice.
Unfortunately for them, the old man in yellow had astonishingly strong spiritual sense. When he heard
some of these discussions, he flew into a rage.
"You're all just weaklings! How dare you badmouth the Annihilation Mountain?
I'll show you what happens to people who go against us," he roared.
As soon as he finished those words,
a few rays of divine light shot out of his projection and sliced the creatures nearby, leaving nothing but
a mist of blood.
As for the creatures who were lucky enough to escape his rays, they felt their hairs stand on end.
It seemed that Ronnie was so determined to take over that he would even forbid discussion.
"From now on, everyone should show me respect. If I hear any blasphemous words uttered about me, I
will kill the person who uttered them.
I might even kill their family members and relatives as well!"
Ronnie added coldly.
His rumbling voice resounded throughout the entire Sea of Chaos.
His image and his words seemed to spread everywhere, reaching everyone's eyes and ears. No one in
the Sea of Chaos dared to contradict him, especially after what he had done to those who had criticized
him.
However, they all knew that this was just the beginning. This imperial edict was more a declaration of
war than anything else.
If Ronnie wanted to rule the Sea of Chaos, he would have to make the other six super forces submit to
him first.
These other six forces were the Beast City, the Demon City, the underworld, the Divine Corpse Palace,
the Novel Court, and the allied army.
"A terrible war is doomed to commence soon.
No matter who wins in the end, the whole Sea of Chaos would be filled with blood and dead bodies!"
a random creature said, sighing with a heavy heart.
But from the Beast City, the Demon City, the underworld, the Divine Corpse Palace, and the Novel
Court, there was nothing but scoffing and laughter.
These five super forces immediately began to secretly dispatch their soldiers.
Armies, equipped with weapons or magical treasures, were transferred to important areas one by one.
All the soldiers were decked head to toe in armor.
Obviously, the five super forces were preparing for the oncoming war.
Ronnie's imperial edict had sent the whole Sea of Chaos into a commotion. The air was filled with a
sense of tension, as if a storm was about to befall them.
The next day,
much to everyone's shock, there was another imperial edict.
The emissaries of the Annihilation Mountain went around the entire Sea of Chaos and announced that
from now on,
all the universe communities, races, and sects had to provide resources to the Annihilation Mountain
on time.
The quantities of resources they had to contribute would be determined by the Annihilation Mountain
based on their strengths and capabilities.
Moreover, the six super forces were all required to pay tribute with resources in a timely manner as
well.
