Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7297

Chapter 7211: Taking Office!

“Auntie, what is this Heavenly Eight War God Palace?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously as they walked.

Aurora patiently explained, “This is the central hub of the entire Heavenly Eighth Section. It’s located at the core of this section of the Great Wall and is also an important administrative location. Therefore, Tianming’s official inauguration should have been there, but since no one greeted us when we arrived, there was no formal ceremony.”

Li Tianming was originally supposed to go to the Heavenly Eight War God Palace accompanied by a group of soldiers, but now he was only accompanied by a border general, which was quite a lack of prestige.

However, Li Tianming walked directly through the military camp with the Illusion Goddess Border General, his expression unchanged.

At the same time, the Demon Extinction Army soldiers coming and going throughout the camp all glanced at the two of them, their eyes unintentionally falling upon them.

Initially, everyone looked at the Illusion Goddess Border General, clearly wanting to greet her.

After all, this position was extremely high for them, belonging to the upper echelons.

Some glanced at the two, then hesitated, swallowing their words.

Others, upon seeing the Illusion Goddess General, were about to speak when their companions immediately covered their mouths, preventing them from uttering a sound.

Faced with the puzzled and questioning gazes of those whose mouths were covered, their companions simply shook their heads and gestured to the white-haired youth beside the Illusion Goddess General.

Then, the person whose mouth was covered widened their eyes slightly, their pupils dilating, but quickly regained their composure.

Neither of them spoke, and they walked side by side again, no longer covering their mouths, as if nothing had happened and they hadn’t seen anything.

In reality, given Li Tianming’s reputation within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, very few were unaware of him.

Furthermore, when the transfer order was first issued, some in the Heavenly Eight Demon Army had learned of him, and his image had circulated within the army; naturally, they all recognized him.

Li Tianming had learned all this from Yin Chen.

Therefore, the moment they saw Li Tianming, these Demon Army soldiers recognized him.

The subtle reactions of everyone at the first moment revealed that they were not unfamiliar with Li Tianming.

However!

From the moment Li Tianming arrived at the Eighth Division of the Heavenly Guards without being greeted, to his direct appearance in the military camp now, no one greeted him or offered any greetings.

Everything was eerily calm!

At this moment, the Illusion Goddess, walking beside Li Tianming, smiled and said, “It seems no one is paying any attention to you, the Great War God. What are your thoughts now?”

“No thoughts. As I expected, this is the current state of the Eighth Division of the Heavenly Guards,” Li Tianming replied with a relieved smile.

At this moment, everyone around him, from ordinary soldiers to commanders and officers, was silent.

Some simply stared at Li Tianming, saying nothing, their gazes cold.

None of them greeted him or addressed him as the Great War God.

They also refrained from discussing anything, treating him as if he were a complete stranger.

Even more people didn’t even look at him, preoccupied with their own affairs.

Some members of the Demon Extermination Army formed small formations, practicing formations, their shouts echoing across the training ground.

Others honed their spear or sword techniques, completely focused.

Still others were stationed in watchtowers, constantly monitoring the situation outside the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall.

In short, the entire Eighth Section of the Heavenly Realm did not experience any significant changes due to Li Tianming’s presence in the military camp.

“It seems like this War God, Little Li, is completely superfluous,” Sui Shenyao remarked in surprise.

Aurora also spoke with a slightly stern voice, “This indifference and disregard from tens of millions of people is actually a top-tier show of force for Tianming, the newly appointed War God. It’s absolutely impossible that there wasn’t an order behind it.”

In the military camp, everyone is a brother fighting side by side. Even an ordinary Demon Extermination Army soldier would at least greet a familiar comrade.

Yet Li Tianming, who should be the highest-ranking member of the entire Great Wall section, was receiving such treatment.

This level of intimidation would likely ignite anger in many others.

This actually piqued the curiosity of many.

Even some distance away from Li Tianming, people were whispering and gossiping.

“Li Tianming is facing this situation, isn’t he angry at all?”

“If it were any other hot-blooded young genius, I bet they would be furious. How can he tolerate such indifference?”

Li Tianming was aware of the crowd’s indifference and the content of their discussions, but he remained unperturbed.

“It seems those lieutenants are trying to provoke us this way. But Little Li, don’t you feel any resentment?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously.

Li Tianming responded inwardly, seemingly nonchalantly, “I never had any grand plans for the Demon Extermination Project, nor did I feel any sense of belonging to the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall. The appointment from the Supreme Emperor’s Ancestor Society was simply an opportunity to cultivate in the Star Palace.”

“Is that why you can ignore all of this?” Sui Shenyao said thoughtfully. “That’s right. Their so-called show of force won’t cause us any harm. We can still go to the Star Palace to cultivate and achieve our goal.”

“That’s right. Currently, none of our previous War Gods have even tried cultivating in the Star Palace once. If they want power so much, I only need to hold the title. In the future, someone will lead the Eighth Heavenly Segment for me. I’d be more than happy with that.” Li Tianming thought to himself with amusement.

“You didn’t even think about advancing to a Ten-Star War God, or even higher?” Sui Shenyao suddenly asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming chuckled inwardly, “Reaching the level of a ten-star War God isn’t that easy. Besides, even if I were to strive in that direction, instead of playing mind games, I’d rather focus on cultivating and improving my own strength first. Many things would then fall into place.”

“In fact, our primary objective is simple: to report and ensure our transfer order is valid, smoothly obtaining the right to use the Star Palace. Everything else is secondary. Controlling the Heavenly Eight Demon Army would be an unexpected bonus,” Aurora explained.

“I see,” Sui Shenyao suddenly understood, but after a moment’s thought, she asked doubtfully, “However, the core of the Sword Dragon Great Wall Demon-Slaying Array represents a crucial defensive force for this section of the Great Wall. Is it really a good idea to just hand it over to these three power-hungry deputy generals?”
