Lin Qian's words had made his intention very clear to Tong Zixuan and the others from Ren Island, who were present. They were very aware of what their Island Master's master intended for them to do.

From now on, the Chaotic Star Sea would be wiped away, only the Star Sea State of the Huaxia Empire would exist.

"Master... Your Majesty, do you mean to unify the entire Chaotic Star Sea?" After listening to Lin Qian's words, Tong Zixuan was slightly stunned but then quickly understood.

Now, he had also come to his senses, realizing that the matters he was now discussing with his master were matters of state, pertaining to monarch and ministers, so his form of address had to change as well.

Lin Qian nodded and looked at his disciple, saying, "The Chaotic Star Sea is essentially a dumping ground, with many forces deliberately neglecting it, allowing those extremely violent and evil people to hide in this place for convenience."

Lin Qian deeply agreed with this; it would definitely cost many forces a great deal of effort and resources to capture those extremely violent criminals.

Especially when those violent criminals had formidable power, then even more energy would have to be expended.

In this case, it was much better to save time and effort by creating chaotic and desolate places like the Chaotic Star Sea, leaving them there to fight and kill each other.

As for the occasional return of violent criminals from these places to commit evil, it was no longer considered a significant issue.

However, Lin Qian's future Huaxia Empire was different from other forces. With its formidable strength and control, which was not on the same level, Lin Qian was confident that he had nothing to fear from these extremely violent criminals.

Moreover, Lin Qian believed that there was no need for these two rubbish dumps to continue to exist; moreover, wasting such good land in this way was truly an enormous waste.

The vast Chaotic Star Sea could fully realize its value, with its summer charm, beautiful bays, and archipelagos—far more beautiful than the Chaotic Star Sea had ever been, synonymous with slaughter and chaos.

Instead of having the people of his disciple's Ren Island go to the Huaxia Empire, it would be much more convenient to have the land on which they lived become part of the Huaxia Empire.

"But, Master, I can manage minor skirmishes, but I'm afraid I'm not yet capable of leading armies in battle," Tong Zixuan agreed with his master's thinking but was also worried that he might mess up the task his master had entrusted to him.

Seeing the look on Tong Zixuan's face, Lin Qian frowned and scolded, "Tong Zixuan, weakness and indecisiveness are not righteousness, understand?" For character sheets and glossaries, visit MV|LEMPYR.

"When the time comes, I certainly will not let you fight alone. Many generals from the Imperial Army and War Beast Generals from the War Beast Army will assist you. You will learn a great deal by their sides."

"Understand that unifying the Chaotic Star Sea is merely a lesson for you, not a challenge at all, get it?"

Lin Qian's words made Tong Zixuan realize the gravity of the situation. At the same time, he felt that his master was truly domineering—unification of the Chaotic Star Sea was just a lesson for him, a sentiment, he thought, only his master could express.

"Master, if this is merely a lesson, then what is a real war?" Tong Zixuan was very curious about what a genuine war would be like in his master's eyes since even unifying the Chaotic Star Sea seemed so trivial to him.

Seeing the blank look in Tong Zixuan's eyes, Lin Qian sighed heavily with a solemn expression and pointed upward: "That is the real trouble we will have to face."

Seeing Lin Qian pointing upwards, Tong Zixuan and the others became solemn, the dark shadow in the sky a constant cloud over everyone's hearts.

The days of battling the Dead Spirit Army seemed like they were just yesterday, and thinking back on those inhuman monsters, the memory still brought a pang to their hearts.

Because the Dead Spirit Army's strength was not only excessively formidable but also their bodies were extremely resilient. Aside from those skeletons known as Bone Corpses, who required their skulls to be broken to cease their onslaught, the rotting corpses and walking corpses needed their hearts destroyed before they would stop advancing.

Thus, the battle was incredibly tough, and even if one managed to sever their heads, they could still attack in the direction of Lin Qian and his companions.

Upon reflection, it was just as his master had said; facing this Dead Spirit Army was when true warfare began.

Lin Qian, sitting at the head of the table, also revealed a troubled expression when he thought of the Dead Spirit Army.

The strength of these Dead Spirit Armies kept climbing relentlessly due to the infusion of death energy, growing increasingly powerful. If this continued, their power would undoubtedly skyrocket.

With his current strength, after the enhancement of the Dead Spirit Army, the Imperial Army and War Beast Army he could summon might not necessarily be able to overpower the enemy.

Perhaps, it was possible to experience defeat for the first time, a situation Lin Qian could not tolerate.

Once the Imperial Army and War Beast Army suffered defeat on any battlefield, what they lost would not just be a mere battle. The defeat would result in heavy casualties among the civilians they protected.

Having established the Huaxia Empire on the Soul Martial Continent, Lin Qian secretly vowed in his heart to protect every citizen of the Empire.

If he could not give them a good life and they had to face such grievous death, what was the point of the Huaxia Empire's existence?

Moreover, the hard-earned territory of the Empire would be greatly weakened. This was something a growth fanatic absolutely could not tolerate.

Growth is about improving, then improving some more, and leveling up—there's no reason to go backward!

"An increase in strength is urgently needed!" With this thought, Lin Qian made a firm decision in his heart, despite it being just a possibility.

But Lin Qian would not tolerate any possibility, so today he summoned his disciple Tong Zixuan and began to give him detailed instructions.

Next, Lin Qian would assign to him a total of three million Imperial Army and War Beast Army soldiers, as well as twenty-four martial generals, six strategist generals, and thirty-six War Beast Generals, one hundred Sky Soaring Battleships, two hundred soul cannons with destructive impact, and additional soul cannons as needed.

The selections from the Heavenly Art Department and the Fire Department were also included. Lin Qian believed that these people would be enough to help Tong Zixuan conquer the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

Additionally, Lin Qian had the Heavenly Art Department tailor a Cultivation Technique for Tong Zixuan, and for the others, he promised that if they achieved great merit, they too would receive generous rewards.

After reviewing the Cultivation Technique, Tong Zixuan was stunned, like a wooden chicken. He had originally thought that the Cultivation Technique his master had initially given him was already very good, only now did he realize what it meant to have a frog-in-the-well view of the world.

When he saw the three million strong army and the Sky Soaring Battleships towering in the sky, his mind went blank.

He felt that with this power, even a fool could take down the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

And after arranging all these things, Lin Qian also headed back towards the Eastern Continent.

But en route, an odd scene made him stop in his tracks, his curiosity piqued as he took a closer look.
