Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7298

Chapter 7212: The Army Assembles!

“Let them make a fuss. The more they refuse to relinquish power, the happier I am to have some peace and quiet,” Li Tianming said calmly. “The most important power is in their hands. That way, if anything goes wrong, the responsibility won’t fall on me. I’d rather they didn’t give it up.”

“With me, using Shadow, Illusion Sphere, and recording, they can’t argue,” Yin Chen added.

As Li Tianming and the others were talking, they quickly followed the Illusion Goddess Border General, passing through many areas where the Demon-Slaying Army was active.

Finally, the two arrived at the core area of the Heavenly Eighth Segment.

Li Tianming looked around, taking a quick look.

There weren’t many facilities here, and the impurities in the universe were also minimal, making it appear cleaner and brighter, with a wide field of vision, even somewhat empty.

However, the dense Dao clouds were extremely turbulent here, even forming a huge vortex high above the Guanyin Realm!

Upon arriving here, Li Tianming first looked up, and the first thing he saw was a massive palace beneath the Dao cloud vortex, its starlight dazzling, far surpassing any Border General’s residence in size!

Within this palace, various astonishing Dao formations united to firmly protect it, resembling a star-studded galaxy palace!

This level of Dao formation was far beyond what the residence of the Illusion Goddess Border General could compare to.

Furthermore, the eaves of this palace, forged from rare Dao minerals, were adorned with rows of glazed tiles, each contributing to the overall layout of the palace.

Li Tianming’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Even the usually talkative Sui Shenyao remained silent

, genuinely stunned.

Seeing Li Tianming’s reaction, the Illusion Goddess Border General slowly said, “This is the Heavenly Eight War God Palace, the central area of our Great Wall section.”

“Indeed, it’s magnificent, worthy of being the place to command the entire Heavenly Eight Absolute Demon Army,” Li Tianming smiled.

“From now on, this place will belong to you. Don’t you feel any anticipation?” the Illusion Goddess Border General asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming smiled and said, “Are you referring to your yearning for the Heavenly Eight War God Palace, or the power of being a War God?”

“Of course, it’s the position of War God. Isn’t it good to be admired by millions?” the Illusion Goddess asked, her red lips curving upwards.

“Being admired is a result, built upon one’s own strength and battle achievements. You can’t achieve these things by taking shortcuts. You’ve seen the attitude towards me in the Demon Extinction Army, and you probably know it even better than I do,” Li Tianming said calmly. “So, I’m actually not very interested in so-called power.”

As they spoke, after passing through the identity recognition array and the barrier at the entrance, which no longer held any resistance, Li Tianming and the other person entered the magnificent hall together.

Upon entering the hall, Li Tianming looked up and was somewhat surprised.

The Heavenly Eight War God Palace was surprisingly empty!

There were few furnishings; it was almost an empty hall.

Although many giant pillars formed from compressed starlight supported the hall and emitted starlight to illuminate it, making it bright, it couldn’t hide the desolation.

“How did this place become like this? Doesn’t anyone usually come here?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

“Of course. Since the last Great War God died in battle, this place, as the decision-making center, has not been used anymore, and thus it has been abandoned for a thousand years,” the Illusion Goddess General explained slowly.

“No one has come to repair it in these thousand years?” Li Tianming asked curiously.

“We don’t actually know the specific reason. Logically speaking, with the Great War God gone, the three deputy generals are qualified to enter, but they ignored it, so it has just been left like this,” the Illusion Goddess General said helplessly.

Li Tianming asked with some doubt, “This main hall is so large, but it looks more like a council hall. Where is my residence as the God of War?”

The Illusion Goddess General smiled slightly and said, “Actually, what you see now is only the front hall of the Heavenly Eight Gods of War Palace.”

At this moment, Sui Shenyao, who was beside Li Tianming, exclaimed in shock, “This is just the front hall? Yet it’s already hundreds of light-years in diameter! How is that any different from containing a small star system?”

Li Tianming was also surprised, “Such a large place is only a part of the Heavenly Eight Gods of War Palace?”

“Yes.” The Illusion Goddess General nodded with a smile, and added, “Besides, there is actually a rear hall here, which is the place where the God of War resides and cultivates. It may belong to you in the future. It is also hundreds of light-years in diameter, but smaller than the front hall.”

“Just a cultivation place, yet it’s hundreds of light-years in diameter?” Li Tianming couldn’t help but marvel.

“Such a large place, even if Xiaoyu and Ling’er descended from the real universe, they would probably have plenty of room to move around freely,” Aurora exclaimed in surprise.

“The main purpose of this front hall is for decision-making. It’s the meeting place for the Great War God, his deputy, and the border generals. In special circumstances, only the commander of ten thousand can enter. It’s a crucial power center,” the Illusion Goddess Border General said helplessly as she led Li Tianming deeper into the front hall. “Unfortunately, due to the power struggles of some people, this place has gradually lost its original appearance.”

“Now that I’m here, at least it won’t continue to be abandoned,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“That’s true.” The Illusion Goddess Border General glanced at Li Tianming but didn’t say anything more.

Talking as they went, the two soon arrived at almost the only object in the front hall.

Li Tianming and the Illusion Goddess Border General stopped simultaneously. Before them stood an astonishingly large bell!

This giant bell was golden, several meters tall even below the Guanyin Realm. Li Tianming had to look up to see its full size.

“What is this?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

The female general, Huan Shen, explained with a smile, “This is called the War God Bell. Ringing it is a summons. Your official inauguration naturally requires more people to witness it, so this step is very important.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming circled the ‘War God Bell’ and observed that it was covered with dense Dao patterns.

Clearly, these were Dao arrays that helped it transmit the sound of the bell over greater distances.

“What do I need to do?” Li Tianming asked the female general, Huan Shen.

“It’s simple. Ringing the War God Bell once summons all the deputy generals to this place for an audience. Ringing it twice summons all the border generals to assemble. Ringing it three times summons at least the commander of ten thousand to assemble here…” the female general explained slowly.

Li Tianming then asked curiously, “What if it’s rung four times?”

“Then, the entire army will assemble!”
