Chapter 273

This white radiance was the very manifestation of the World Consciousness of the Shen Diao world.

"Emperor's Immortal Ascension Steps!"

Liu Bian channeled his lightness technique and, with a single stride, arrived beside the World Consciousness.

Then, without giving the World Consciousness time to flee, he struck out with a force of True Yuan and gathered it up.

"Hahaha, truly, 'one searches for it everywhere, only to find it without any effort'!"

After gathering the World Consciousness, Liu Bian could not help but laugh aloud.

He had not expected that the World Consciousness of this Shen Diao world would actually be the same as the one in the Main Realm, both hiding within a Thunder Dragon.

I wonder if these World Consciousnesses all like to hide their true forms within Thunder Dragons.

However, for Liu Bian, this saved quite a bit of trouble.

Immediately, Liu Bian's figure flashed and vanished into the sky; when he appeared again, he had already arrived within the Lin'an Imperial Palace.

"System, how does one merge this World Consciousness?"

After returning to the Imperial Palace, Liu Bian hurriedly asked the system; right now, merging the World Consciousness to raise the level of the Great Han Main Realm was the most important thing.

"Ding, the host only needs to hand the devoured World Consciousness over to the Main Realm's World Consciousness to be consumed."

"However, the level of the devoured world cannot be higher than the Main Realm's World Consciousness. If you wish to devour one of a higher level than itself, the host must erase the consciousness of the devoured world first; otherwise, a backlash may occur."

After hearing the system's reply, Liu Bian could not help but nod.

Put that way, it was simple and straightforward, and not very difficult.

However, the Shen Diao world was a Middle Martial world, and its own level was higher than the Great Han Main Realm; later, he would just need to erase the consciousness of the Shen Diao world.

"There is one more question: after the Great Han Main Realm devours the Shen Diao world's consciousness, what will happen to the Shen Diao world?"

Liu Bian was also quite worried about this, as there were still many living beings in the Shen Diao world.

If the Main Realm devouring the World Consciousness caused the Shen Diao world to perish, that would not be good.

Such an outcome was not what he wanted.

"Ding, when devouring a world, the host may decide the fate of the devoured world themselves."

"The first choice, and also the most simple and direct, is that after devouring the World Consciousness, you let the original world fend for itself."

"The second choice, the host can take the devoured world as a subsidiary world of the Main Realm, with the rules within that world controlled by the Main Realm's World Consciousness."

"The third choice, the host can merge the devoured world into the Main Realm, and the living beings within the merged world will be transferred to the Main Realm."

"As for how to choose, everything is decided by the host!"

After the system finished speaking, it fell silent.

"In that case, the first choice is ruled out first; this method is only for when the devoured world is an unforgivable, evil world."

"As for the second choice, there is no need for it for the time being; I will see how things go later."

"Then, right now, the most beneficial choice for the Great Han is the third one."

"Merging a world will make the Great Han Main Realm even larger, which is also beneficial for future growth."

Thinking of this, Liu Bian made his decision.

Subsequently, Liu Bian summoned Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

"Long live, long live, long live Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing Liu Bian, the three of them immediately kowtowed respectfully.

"The three ministers, please rise; let us sit and talk!"

Seeing them, Liu Bian said with a smile.

"We thank Your Majesty for granting us seats!"

After the three thanked him, they each sat down and waited quietly for Liu Bian's edict.

"I presume you all saw the heavenly phenomenon just now!"

After the three were seated, Liu Bian looked at the three sitting upright before him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we were just planning to go into the palace to see you with Wen He and Feng Xiao; we did not expect you to summon us a step ahead of us."

"The three of us have already felt the changes in the power of National Fortune; I presume it must be related to the National Fortune."

At this time, hearing Liu Bian's inquiry, Xun Yu said to Liu Bian with a smile.

"Hahaha, as expected of Xun Wenruo; you are correct. The Thunder Dragon just now was exactly what the World Consciousness of the Shen Diao world transformed into."

"Lü Bu and the others have already successfully annihilated the Mongol Kingdom."

"The National Fortune Golden Dragon, after devouring the destiny of the Mongol Kingdom, has successfully grown to over sixty zhang."

"Now, our Great Han Dynasty has already been promoted from a Lower Grade Dynasty to a Middle Grade Dynasty."

"The power of National Fortune that you all enjoy has also become greater."

As Liu Bian's voice fell, expressions of great joy appeared on the faces of the three.

"We congratulate Your Majesty, we congratulate Your Majesty!"

After reacting, the three immediately offered their congratulations to Liu Bian.

"Hahaha, ministers, there is another piece of good news, and that is that the World Consciousness of the Shen Diao world has also been captured by me."

"The Thunder Dragon just now was the incarnation of the Shen Diao World Consciousness."

"Since the World Consciousness has been successfully obtained, I will return to the Main Realm in a few days to help the Main Realm's World Consciousness devour it."

"Therefore, this Shen Diao world will be entirely under the responsibility of you three."

"Also, once Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong have conquered the Western Regions, you can withdraw the troops."

"After I help the Main Realm promote, I will merge the Shen Diao world into the Main Realm."

"And the living beings in the Shen Diao world will also be transferred into the Main Realm at that time."

"By then, leave those countries that have not yet been conquered to the local garrison troops of the Main Realm."

"They also need to see blood appropriately; not everything can be left to the Six Great Legions to handle."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he looked at the three with a smile.

In the Shen Diao world, only the Mongol Kingdom was relatively powerful; now that the Mongol Kingdom had been annihilated, the other countries were not worth worrying about.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; we will certainly not let you down!"

Upon hearing this, the three immediately stood up and solemnly responded to Liu Bian.

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, Li Mochou has sent word that the Eastern Heretic of the Five Absolutes, Huang Yaoshi, has now also submitted to our Great Han."

"The Southern Emperor of the Five Absolutes, under the persuasion of Hong Qi and Huang Yaoshi, has also submitted to our Great Han Empire."

"Because the Southern Emperor was the previous emperor of the Dali Kingdom, under his persuasion, the Dali Kingdom has also announced its submission to our Great Han Empire."

"As for those Jianghu forces that resisted our Great Han, such as the Iron Palm Sect, Baihua Valley, and Shaolin Temple, they have already been successfully annihilated by them."

"There are also many Jianghu forces that did not participate in the previous Battle of Changde Prefecture who have chosen to submit to our Great Han."

"Right now, those few Tribute are heading alone to the Quanzhen Sect on Kunlun Mountain."

"Ma Yu, who controls the Quanzhen Sect, chose to be with those Jianghu rebels during the previous Battle of Changde Prefecture; now, it is time for his Quanzhen Sect to pay the price!"
