Chapter 983 Advancement To An Advance Kingdom!
The Ghost Darkness Kingdom was an Advance Kingdom Lord faction created by a Low-Tier Deity Level Intermediate Grade God Spirit of the Yin Ghost Clan.
They were born with the body of Ghost Spirits and were good at the Dao of Souls. Most of their attacks were impossible to guard against, so they were also feared by the surrounding countries.
At this moment, in the palace hall of the King of the Yin Ghost Clan, a group of ministers were listening to a king's personal attendant in front of the hall. Their expressions were gloomy and uncertain.
After the king's attendant finished speaking, a minister immediately stood up and said angrily, "This Blazing Sun Kingdom is actually so arrogant. Previously, they brought people to stop us from attacking the human race and destroyed our operations. We can forget about that, but now they even dare to send us a letter of surrender? Don't they know that our Yin Ghost Clan has a Yin Ghost Empire?"
"Exactly!"
"This King of the Blazing Sun is simply courting death!"
…
The other ministers also cursed indignantly.
At this moment, another minister of the Ghost Darkness Kingdom said faintly,
"We don't have much to do with the Yin Ghost Kingdom even though our Ghost Darkness Kingdom is indeed from the Yin Ghost Race. We even have some conflicts. The other party might also know this, which is why they dare to send us a surrender letter."
The ministers fell silent as soon as he said this.
Even though their Ghost Darkness Kingdom and the Dark Ghost Kingdom were both from the Ghost Yin Clan, their races were different.
However, as the saying went, even a family would have conflicts, let alone an internal race.
Coincidentally, they did have a conflict with the Yin Ghost Empire.
That was because the Yin Ghost Empire had always wanted to annex the Ghost Darkness Kingdom, but the Ghost Darkness Kingdom was unwilling. After several open and covert battles, although there was no war between the two sides due to the persuasion of the clan, their relationship had actually fallen to a freezing point.
Even though both sides had participated in the previous attack on the human race, they had never cooperated. They had completely done their own things.
Now that the enemy had already attacked, how could the Ghost Darkness Kingdom have the face to ask the Yin Ghost Empire for help?
Moreover, it was already too late to ask for help.
Due to the supreme agreement, even if the Ghost Darkness Kingdom was destroyed by the Blazing Sun Kingdom, the Yin Ghost Empire would not be able to help the Ghost Darkness Kingdom.
Unless the two countries had an alliance agreement or a subordinate agreement to protect each other before the Blazing Sun Kingdom issued the surrender letter, the Yin Ghost Empire could do nothing else in the face of the current situation of the Ghost Darkness Kingdom.
At this moment, the King of the Ghost Darkness Kingdom, Drake, who was sitting on the throne in the hall, spoke.
"After knowing the contents of this letter of surrender, I immediately sent Eres to investigate the situation of the other people of foreign races who attacked the human race together."
"In the end, we discovered that more than half of the people of foreign races who attacked the human race with us had already been persuaded to surrender by the Common People's Regal of the Blazing Sun Kingdom. Furthermore, the content had not been changed at all."
"Most importantly, Common People's Regal seems to know that the empire-level Lord faction and the Kingdom-level Lord faction that is related to the empire-level Lord faction are not to be trifled with. Therefore, they did not send a surrender letter to 'Them'. They only sent this letter to the Kingdom-level Lord factions like us who do not have the protection of the empire-level Lord faction."
"The Common People's Regal wasn't blinded by 'His' power. 'He' is still the extremely cautious but expansive Common People's Regal."
"In the face of such a powerful but cautious opponent, ministers, do you have any good suggestions?"
Towards the end, "He" looked at the adults with a hopeful look in "His" eyes.
"He" was just an ordinary Low-Tier Deity Level Intermediate Grade God Spirit.
Even though they had some connections with God Spirits, they were only an ordinary faction that could be easily destroyed by the current Blazing Sun Kingdom.
Therefore, in the face of such a helpless situation, "He" could only pin his hopes on these ministers to think of a good solution for "Him."
At this moment, when His Highness' ministers heard His Majesty's words, their expressions immediately became hesitant.
"Isn't this bullying the ghosts?"
A minister of the Ghost Darkness Kingdom couldn't help but mutter after hearing Drake's words.
The ministers said nothing.
Aren't they bullying you?
Who asked you to be weak and have no protector?
"Let's ask for help. We'll form an alliance with the other kingdoms that have been issued with letters of surrender. In addition, we'll join forces with some people of foreign races and some small factions around the Blazing Sun Kingdom to form a large alliance that will prevent the Blazing Sun Kingdom from acting rashly."
"Those people of foreign races and small factions' territories are located around the Blazing Sun Kingdom's territories. In the future, as long as the Blazing Sun Kingdom expands, it will definitely destroy their territories. If we say that it's pros and cons, they will definitely not be indifferent."
A minister in charge of logistics in the Ghost Darkness Kingdom hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Anyone can think of that."
As soon as he said this, another minister wearing a general's uniform shook his head and said, "The problem is that the Blazing Sun Kingdom is too powerful. Even if we unite all the forces we can, can we really stop the Blazing Sun Kingdom's attack?"
The ministers were silent.
He was right.
Back then, even with the help of a large group of empire-level Lords, they could not break through the army of the Blazing Sun Kingdom and stop the humans from retreating to the Primordial World.
Now, even if a group of Kingdom-level Lords joined forces, what could they do to the Blazing Sun Kingdom?
When they thought of this, they felt a little suffocated.
It was just an Intermediate Kingdom. How could it be so strong?
"The Blazing Sun Kingdom's forces are not something we can deal with."
"Why don't we surrender? At least we can reduce the casualties of our Ghost Darkness Kingdom."
"As long as the citizens of the Yin Ghost are still around, there will be hope for everything in the future."
"Furthermore, I heard that the Common People's Regal has the heart to tolerate all races. The Blazing Sun Kingdom under 'Him' also treats those who surrender very well. In fact, it's not inferior to 'His' own countrymen."
"If we surrender, the treatment we receive from 'Him' won't be much worse than now. It might even be better…"
Another minister of the Ghost Darkness Kingdom, who was in charge of the official's position, suddenly stood up after a long while. He gritted his teeth and mustered his courage.
Originally, after he said this, he would receive a lot of criticism.
However, after "He" finished speaking, "He" realized that the entire hall had fallen silent.
Most of the ministers, including King Drake, were tempted. Only a few of them looked hesitant.
The official was stunned for a moment before his expression became strange.
…
Just as the Ghost Darkness Kingdom was hesitating because of the letter of surrender, the other kingdoms that had been issued with the letter of surrender were experiencing the same thing and had begun to save themselves.
Some seek alliances outside;
Some spent all the country's wealth to hire foreign God Spirit-level experts to protect the kingdom.
Some sought help from empire-level forces;
Some simply admitted that they were no match for him and directly agreed to the Blazing Sun Kingdom's letter of surrender, choosing to join the Blazing Sun Kingdom.
There were even some people of foreign races who chose to side with the scarlet faction and seek their protection…
The various methods were too much for the eyes to take in.
As for the empire-level Lord factions and Kingdom-level Lord factions that were related to the empire-level Lord factions, they were both glad and apprehensive after learning of this situation.
Fortunately, the Common People's Regal didn't choose to attack them.
Even though they were an empire-level Lord faction, some of them even had some top-notch True God-Tier means. They were not something that the current Zhou Zhou could easily deal with.
However, once such a method was used, they would have to pay a huge price. Some of the costs might even directly cause their empire's vitality to be greatly damaged or even in danger of destruction. That was why they did not want to use their trump card easily until the last moment.
What they were worried about was that Common People's Regal was growing too quickly. If "He" continued to grow like this, it would probably be "They"'s turn soon in the current situation. What should they do then?
"We have to think of a way to deal with the Common People's Regal. At the very least, we have to scare the Common People's Regal so that they won't dare to attack us. Otherwise, we definitely won't be safe in the future!"
When the Empire-level Lords thought of this, they immediately began to think of a way.
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly came from the Blazing Sun Kingdom and quickly reached them.
The Blazing Sun Kingdom had advanced to an Advance Kingdom!
…
Time went back to more than an hour ago.
In the Divine Kingdom's main hall, Zhou Zhou, who was feeding the Wind God Source Embryo with True God-Tier Elementary Grade Divine Crystals, suddenly saw spatial fluctuations appear in the space in front of "Him". Following that, a black Spatial Ring flew out and floated in front of Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou was already prepared. He held it in his hand and sent his divine sense into it. Then, he smiled.
Inside were three Epic-Tier Advance Grade Kingdom Tokens that emitted a faint Scarlet Fog aura.
"I can finally upgrade my kingdom."
Zhou Zhou stood up and casually threw three Divine God-Tier Basic Level Sacred Crystals at the Wind God Source Embryo's surface. After saying, "Eat slowly," he teleported away.
The next second, "He" appeared in front of the golden tablet in the deepest part of the Divine Kingdom.
"He" looked at the kingdom's golden tablet in front of him.
Soon, a text notification appeared.
[Prompt: You have met all the requirements to advance to an Advance Kingdom. Do you want to advance the Blazing Sun Kingdom to an Advance Kingdom?]
"Yes!"
Zhou Zhou said without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, another line of text appeared.
[Prompt: You have one chance to change the location of the king's city. Do you want to change/retain it?]
"Retain!"
Naturally, Zhou Zhou would not easily change his position in the capital.
The current Searing Flame Empire was the only High-Tier Deity-level territory in the entire Blazing Sun Kingdom and even the entire human territory!
Zhou Zhou would be a fool to exchange for such a treasure land.
[Prompt: Your choice has been confirmed!]
[Prompt: Your Lord's Territory—Intermediate Kingdom—Blazing Sun Kingdom is in the process of upgrading…]
[Prompt: Level-up successful!]
[Congratulations, your Intermediate Kingdom Lord Territory—Blazing Sun Kingdom has officially been promoted to Advance Kingdom Lord Territory—Blazing Sun Kingdom!]
[Prompt: You can display the level of your kingdom and territory on any channel!]
The next second, the announcement that Zhou Zhou had been waiting for appeared.
[Lord of All Races Lord Announcement: Congratulations to the Human Race - The Sovereign of the Searing Flame for successfully establishing the first Advance Kingdom, Rewards: Lord of All Races Mythical-Tier Treasure Chest +1, Mid-Level Kingdom Empire Treasure Chest +1, Status Ranking +10! Legendary Status Ranking +1!]
[Lord of All Races Announcement: Congratulations to the human race—Lord of The Blazing Sun…]
