Chapter 1141: Great Xia Empire! The Name of Lei Di!

In the virtual world, Artur and other supreme beings of the Bear Empire stared at each other, their eyes filled with shock and doubt.

This Evelyn seems to be in an odd state.

This once-arrogant Starlight Stage Two powerhouse is now bowing to Xu Jingming, even calling him Master?

"I know what you're thinking."

Evelyn's red lips curled slightly, a flicker of contempt in her eyes, "But a Master is a Master. I am willing to walk through fire and water for him, even if it costs my life."

She gracefully swept back her long hair:

"As for the alliance? Don't dream of it. That fool Lei Ding was already slain by my Master an hour ago."

"What?" Urs leapt to his feet, his face filled with shock.

"If you're wise, submit now. Otherwise..."

Evelyn sneered, her gaze sweeping over them with ominous weight, "You'll soon learn the cost of defying my Master's will."

With that, she left the virtual world without waiting for their response.

In her eyes, they were nothing but weaklings—how dare they defy her Master's will?

The conference room fell into dead silence.

After a long while, Urs said grimly, "I'll verify this."

With that, his form vanished from the virtual world; minutes later, when he returned, his face bore a Solemn expression:

"I can't reach Lei Ding, but his family is in chaos—the rumors... are likely true."

"This..."

Artur's forehead glistened with sweat; his thick fingers tapped the table unconsciously.

Two Starlight Stage Two powerhouses—one submitted, one perished—how could they possibly resist?

"What if... we reach out to Xu Jingming ourselves?"

Artur ventured tentatively.

"I agree."

"Seconded."

The supreme beings of Yin Du and Urs nodded in succession.

Especially Urs—he came from the Ember World.

The national conflicts of Blue Star had little to do with him.

"Hmph, a bunch of suck-ups to Xu Jingming.

Go if you want—I'll see what he can do to me!"

Only the supreme being of Heizhou remained defiant, exiting the virtual world outright.

"Foolish."

Seeing the Heizhou supreme being leave, Artur shook his head.

From Evelyn's state, it was clear she had been enslaved by Xu Jingming.

Whether this enslavement was voluntary or forced, it proved Xu Jingming mastered spiritual combat techniques.

Combined with his monstrous power, the formation of the Great Xia Empire is now unstoppable.

Submitting willingly might still preserve your clear consciousness.

Minutes later,

Xu Jingming, far away in Xia Meng, connected to the virtual meeting via Eva.

"Lei Di, my lord."

The moment his figure appeared, Artur and the others immediately bowed in salute.

Since they had already decided to submit, they would not be disrespectful in these details.

"So you've all made up your minds?"

Xu Jingming was unsurprised by their arrival.

"We have. Joining the Great Xia Empire is no problem."

Artur swallowed hard, "We just want to know what the specific requirements are?"

The supreme being of the Bear Empire, Artur, asked tentatively.

"Simple."

Xu Jingming said, "All national armies, resources, and even your own persons will be under unified command of Great Xia.

Civil administration and governance remain your own to handle."

When he finished speaking, all fell silent.

If armies and resources are controlled by others, what use is civil governance to us?

"Of course, you don't have to accept this now.

Don't worry—you'll come to sincerely admire it later."

Xu Jingming lifted his eyelids slightly.

This casual threat sent a chill through them.

They remembered Evelyn they had just witnessed.

The last trace of hesitation vanished; they hurriedly said, "Understood. We'll issue the announcement immediately."

"Good. Very obedient."

Xu Jingming nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over them, "The Heizhou supreme being didn't come?"

"He... refused to cooperate."

Artur said cautiously, afraid of provoking Xu Jingming and drawing his wrath upon them.

"It's fine, he will change his mind."

Xu Jingming turned and left, his figure quickly vanishing from the virtual world.

Returning to reality, Xu Jingming took Ling Shuang and Emers directly toward Heizhou.

With Ling Shuang's spatial ability and Emers's Eye of Fate at his side.

He found Kun Di, the supreme ruler of Heizhou, with almost no effort at all.

After imprinting the Slave Heart Seal, the once defiant man became utterly respectful.

By the time they returned to Xia Meng, less than half an hour had passed.

At the same time, major global media outlets exploded with news:

"The United States Announces Annexation by the Great Xia Empire!"

"Russia Has Become a Territory of the Great Xia Empire!"

"The Supreme Ruler of Heizhou Swears Allegiance to Lei Di!"

Articles and announcements declared that the six global giants of Blue Star now stood as one—only the Great Xia Empire remained.

Then came Emers, announcing that the entire Firebrand Pantheon now fell under Great Xia's administration.

Emers was the goddess of the Firebrand World; once her order was issued, its people naturally obeyed.

In an instant, the citizens of Great Xia were stunned.

They had assumed building the empire would take years—but they never imagined it would be settled in under an hour!

After shock came boundless excitement and praise.

"Great Xia Empire! Lei Di is the new sovereign!"

"So brutal! One man has opened a new era!"

"Can you believe it? Lei Di is only twenty-one!"

"......"

At this moment,

The name of Great Xia Empire, Lei Di, echoed across the entire Blue Star!

Meanwhile, on Xia Meng Square, a grand celebration ceremony had already begun.

The corpses of three Beast Gods had been turned into exquisite dishes: steamed crab meat, roasted crab meat, sashimi, steamed fish fillet...

Over a hundred dishes were laid out on the square; even low-rank adepts below seventh tier dared not taste the Beast God dishes, settling for ordinary ferocious beast meat instead.

Seventh- and eighth-tier adepts, though higher-ranked, could not eat much, fearing the overwhelming energy.

Only Xu Jingming and Emers, who had broken through to the Starlight Tier, could indulge freely.

When the celebration ended, it was already past eleven at night.

At that moment, a sultry voice suddenly echoed in Xu Jingming's mind:

"My lord Lei Di, we're all ready~~"

This was Ling Shuang's mental transmission; half an hour earlier, the women had left early, saying they were preparing celebration gifts.

"Teacher Ling is playing dress-up again."

Xu Jingming chuckled helplessly, his boiling blood becoming even more restless.

After bidding farewell to the other ninth-tier councilors, a black streak of Lei Guang sliced through the night sky, racing toward the brightly lit villa.
