Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7288

Chapter 7202: A Bunch of Top Three on the Emperors’ Ranking!

“Some are possible,” Aurora said with a smile. “Among them, the deputy generals are also known as ‘quasi-war gods.’ They generally have a good chance of becoming the Great War God. If their merits and strength are sufficient, they have the opportunity to take over when the position of Great War God becomes vacant. This is basically their goal.”

“Just below the Great War God, and still have the opportunity to take over the position of Great War God, then these deputy generals must be quite strong?” Li Tianming asked with slight surprise.

“Of course,” Aurora nodded. “Most of them are strongmen from the Heavenly Emperor Sect who are between 300,000 and 500,000 years old. They were also geniuses in the past, and their strength is extremely powerful. They came here to challenge for the position of Great War God; otherwise, they wouldn’t be willing to be subordinate to others.”

“But the opportunity to become the Great War God shouldn’t be so easy to obtain, right? Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been vacant for a thousand years after the death of Great War God Wei Mingxue, and there are more than one person waiting for the opportunity. If too many years are wasted, wouldn’t it be a waste?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously.

“Of course it won’t be a fight to the death, but how long they persist depends on each individual,” Aurora said slowly. “You know, if they give up vying for the position of War God and choose to return to conquer star systems as Grand Governors or guide their disciples to become Grand Imperial Teachers, they can easily do it with their strength. They have the ability and resources.”

This surprised Li Tianming greatly.

“In the Demon Extermination Plan, they are not even War Gods, not even part of the system, yet they already possess such strength.” Li Tianming was astonished, his gaze slightly narrowed. “No wonder War God Jiang could command such respect from two Holy Governors.”

“After the Vice Generals, the Demon Extermination Plan actually has seven ‘Border Generals,’ whose strength and importance should not be underestimated,” Aurora said slowly.

“Aunt, what kind of strength do the Border Generals possess?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously.

“Although their rank is lower than that of the deputy generals, they are mainly composed of experienced powerhouses over 500,000 years old. Each of them has already displayed their talents to the peak, and they are basically veterans. Although they are quite old and have no potential to compete for the title of War God, they all have the strength of the mid-to-late stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm, and they should not be underestimated,” Aurora patiently explained.

Li Tianming said with slight surprise, “Even the border generals have this kind of strength, so wouldn’t the strength of the deputy generals be even more astonishing?”

Aurora nodded seriously and said, “Of course, your three deputy generals are already close to surpassing the realm of the Primordial God of the Universe, and some have even reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Venerable realm.”

“Wow, then won’t Little Li become a weakling there? We’ve only reached the level of border generals based on our combat strength,” Sui Shenyao said with wide eyes.

“Now I’m the boss!” Li Tianming glared at Sui Shenyao, then continued, “Positions aren’t solely based on merit. Besides, I might surpass them all in a while.”

“Furthermore, below the border generals and deputy generals are the ‘soldiers,’ including the commanders of the Demon Extinction Army. Each commander can lead tens of thousands of Demon Extinction Army soldiers, and in our Heavenly Rank 8 section, there are a thousand of these positions. That means there are approximately fifty million Demon Extinction Army soldiers within our jurisdiction!” Aurora added.

“Fifty million, and all of them are former disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect?” Li Tianming exclaimed in surprise. “And this is just one section of my Heavenly Rank section?”

Upon hearing the news, Li Tianming was initially shocked.

However, when he thought of the magnificent Heavenly Emperor Great Wall he had once witnessed, with its endless, seemingly insurmountable walls, everything suddenly made sense.

Aurora then narrowed her gaze slightly and said, “Below the commander of ten thousand, there are naturally the commanders of a thousand, the commanders of a hundred, and the squad leaders… Even the lowest-ranking squad leader is a true Dao Ancestor. Although they are at the bottom of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, their sheer numbers make for an astonishing fighting force!”

“I won’t mention those several ranks below me. I want to know in detail who my direct subordinates are, as I will need to deal with them in the future,” Li Tianming said after a moment’s thought.

“No problem, Yin Chen and I have already investigated that,” Aurora nodded with a smile, then continued, “First and foremost, there’s Wei Qingyu. His identity is particularly special.”

Hearing this, Li Tianming asked curiously, “What’s his background?”

“He’s the younger brother of the previous War God,” Aurora said.

“Wei Mingxue’s younger brother? How strong is he?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

Aurora slowly explained, “This is a member of the Living Emperor Clan at the twelfth-tier Celestial Venerable level. His strength surpasses almost all the Grand Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and he was previously second only to his elder brother in the eighth tier of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, in terms of combat power, he almost surpasses all the Grand Masters of the Heavenly Emperor

Sect. In fact, due to the abilities of the Living Emperor Clan, he is even stronger than Tai Su Hongyan on the front lines.” “The strength of a single member of the Living Emperor Clan forming an army is always the most sought-after in large-scale battles, which is normal,” Li Tianming said thoughtfully. “Moreover, as the younger brother of the previous Great War God who sacrificed himself, he already has a connection, and with his great strength, his status in the army is definitely not low.”

“Not low at all, in fact, it can be considered extremely high. He himself is also an extremely amazing genius, now 500,000 years old. In his youth, he even broke into the top three of the Ten Thousand Emperors Ranking,” Aurora said seriously.

“This person is perhaps worth my attention. After all, I took his elder brother’s position, and I don’t know how he will react to me,” Li Tianming said with a slightly narrowed gaze.

“He probably wants to take the position himself, and besides his own desires, he probably wouldn’t be satisfied with anyone else sitting in it. I feel that he most likely thinks you’re unworthy,” Sui Shenyao said after a moment’s thought.

“Yaoyao is right,” Li Tianming nodded. “However, we don’t know what kind of person he is yet. Actually, I think that in this situation, if I gain his approval, he’s most likely to support me, but the conditions for that approval will be extremely difficult to meet.”

In short, it’s a high-risk, high-reward choice.

Of course, this is all predicated on Wei Mingxue having a high enough standing in Wei Qingyu’s heart.

If Li Tianming, an outsider, is approved and qualified to succeed his brother, it means that his standing in Wei Qingyu’s heart is also very high.

At this moment, Li Tianming asked again, “Aunt, what about the other two deputy generals?”

“The second one I’d like to introduce is a female ghost god named Yu Mo, from the Wuxiang Yu Clan,” Aurora said, seemingly somewhat helplessly. “There’s very little information about Yu Mo; not much of value. She’s currently 400,000 years old, with the strength of a tenth-tier Heavenly Venerable, and she was once among the top three on the Ten Thousand Emperors Ranking.”

“She’s a bit younger than Wei Qingyu, and in terms of talent, she’s not much weaker, but her strength is slightly inferior, and she doesn’t have the abilities of a Living Emperor Clan… So, it seems that before I came, Wei Qingyu was more competitive,” Li Tianming said after a moment’s thought.

“There’s another one, even younger, with very high talent,” Aurora continued. “This person comes from the Nine Star Imperial Clan, named Jiu Yang.”

“The Nine Star Imperial Clan?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly.

To be honest, Li Tianming didn’t really have any good feelings towards the Nine Star Imperial Clan, except for the Jiu Huang branch.

“This Jiuyang, could he be from the same lineage as Jiuyuan?” Li Tianming asked.

“That’s right, Jiuyang is Jiuding’s elder brother, and also Jiuyuan’s uncle,” Aurora nodded.

“Anyone associated with those two seems to be a bad person,” Sui Shenyao said, pursing his lips. “That couple, Jiu Yan Gui and Jiu Si Heng, weren’t any better.”

“Yao Yao, we haven’t even met them yet, we can’t judge them so quickly,” Aurora said helplessly. “

Alright, we’ll see when we meet them. If they’re good people, then disregard what I said,” Sui Shenyao said, shaking Aurora’s arm.

“What’s this person’s strength?” Li Tianming asked curiously.

“It’s said that Jiu Yang is only just over 300,000 years old, still very young, only slightly older than Xing Xiao from another branch of the Nine Star Imperial Clan, and his strength has already reached the eighth-tier Heavenly Venerable level,” Aurora said to Li Tianming while ruffling Sui Shenyao’s hair.

“An eighth-tier Heavenly Venerable with such strength, and only just over 300,000 years old, wasn’t he at the level of the number one on the Myriad Emperors Ranking before?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

“Yes, he was number one on the Great Dao Emperor Ranking before Xingxiao. He had exceptional talent. If he hadn’t been too old and dropped off the list, Xingxiao wouldn’t have been able to challenge his position. Xingxiao only took the top spot after Jiuyang. After Xingxiao held the position for a while, Li Moumou appeared and became the new number one,” Aurora said slowly.

“So, Xingxiao was quite unfortunate, not holding the number one position for very long,” Sui Shenyao said in surprise.

“That’s normal. With the changing of the guard, there will inevitably be some mishaps. Even now, those who are outside the top ten on the Emperor Ranking but are very young may break into the top ranks in the future,” Aurora said with a slight smile.

“These people, besides being my future subordinates, were also once strong contenders for the position of Great War God. In the past thousand years, they have probably all worked hard to achieve merit and countless military exploits in order to become Great War God. They have been competing openly and secretly for a thousand years…” Li Tianming pondered.

At this moment, Sui Shenyao said with a smile, “They fought tooth and nail for the position of War God, and then you not only came out of nowhere, but you were even parachuted in to take over, stealing their prize. They’re probably furious right now.” “

Originally, the three of them were enemies, but now your arrival has ruined their goals. They might even turn their attention to you directly. That won’t be easy for them,” Aurora said, slightly frowning.

After clarifying his thoughts, Li Tianming was not only fearless, but even had anticipation in his eyes.

He said with burning eyes, “If they turn their attention to me, then I’ll have a lot to play with them. One day, I’ll make them completely submit to me, fully acknowledging and recognizing my existence as the Grand Governor…”

Li Tianming sat cross-legged in the center of the Tianzi No. 8 Line Origin Plank Road, a smile playing on his lips.

He was never afraid of challenges!
