Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Bing Youxue was once the emperor of the Chinese dynasty. Although some changes occurred later, it is undeniable that Bing Youxue still had the bearing of a powerful ruler.

Moreover, the fact that Donghuang Taiyi has appeared repeatedly over the years is itself highly suspicious.

This was a last resort; time was of the essence, and there was no way to clean it up slowly.

After all, no one knows when the demon realm passage will open.

It's good to settle things internally sooner rather than later so we can make preparations earlier.

"Several years ago, when Canghe was ordered to investigate in the far north, he inadvertently learned that an external passage in the far north was about to open."

"This realm is extremely powerful and filled with malevolent energy. That's why, in recent years, Donghuang Taiyi has personally stepped in to quell the internal strife!"

Xia Taige had no intention of hiding this from Bing Youxue, nor was it necessary.

Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty's army will soon be marching to the far north, at which point it will be impossible to hide it any longer.

Upon hearing this, Bing Youxue was stunned, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

For Xia Taige to utter the words "extremely powerful and extremely malevolent," the matter must be even more serious than Xia Taige described; otherwise, the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't have needed to mobilize such a large force.

Upon realizing this, the worry in Bing Youxue's eyes intensified.

Bing Youxue was already aware of her husband's strength, but even so, she was still very cautious.

This demonstrates just how formidable the enemy truly is.

"A formidable enemy is approaching. Is Your Majesty confident in your ability to defend yourself?" After a moment's thought, Bing Youxue asked with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige looked at Bing Youxue, and the worry on his face was clearly visible.

For someone above the Divine Realm to display such a facial expression, it's clear that the concerns they have are not limited to what Xia Taige sees.

"Don't worry, for the Great Xia Dynasty, this is both a challenge and an opportunity."

"Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty itself is accustomed to creating miracles, so what is there to fear from a formidable enemy!"

At this point, the confidence shining in Xia Taige's eyes immediately put Bing Youxue at ease.

As Xia Taige said, the Great Xia Dynasty itself is accustomed to creating miracles. Over the years, the Great Xia Dynasty has come to where it is today, which is nothing short of a miracle.

"Your Majesty, I have faith in you and wish you a resounding victory."

"If necessary, I am ready to rush to the battlefield at any time. After all, I am still a being above the God Realm, and I have considerable strength!"

Bing Youxue spoke very solemnly, looking into Xia Taige's eyes, and said earnestly.

"I just said that you should have confidence in me and in the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In terms of strength, Xia Taige himself is now unaware of just how powerful he truly is.

Moreover, since the appearance of the divine path, Xia Taige has also discovered that his own strength has been on the rise.

Moreover, since breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, Xia Taige has never used his full strength, let alone under the blessing of the power of national destiny.

This is also the reason why Xia Taige has such strong confidence.

There's no other reason than that he's too strong.

"Your Majesty, I believe you!"

After unifying the Tianyuan Continent, Bing Youxue gradually put aside her arrogance as someone above the Divine Realm.

She has truly become a good wife, a good mother, and a good daughter-in-law.

"When you have time, spend more time with the Empress Dowager and the others. I'm entrusting their cultivation to you."

"Once a major war breaks out, I may not have enough time to devote my energy to the harem!"

Once the great war begins, Xia Taige, as one of only two Transcendent Realm cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty, will inevitably have to personally go to the battlefield to demonstrate his power.

It's clear that relying solely on Donghuang Taiyi is insufficient.

Over the years, the system has never again recorded a person in the Transcendent Realm. It seems that the highest person recorded in daily check-ins is someone above the Divine Realm.

Although Xia Taige was slightly disappointed, he didn't take it to heart.

Perhaps it was Xia Taige's great confidence in his own abilities.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that matters concerning the harem will not cause you any worry!" Bing Youxue nodded solemnly and agreed.

Seeing this, Xia Taige nodded in satisfaction.

From this perspective, Bing Youxue is clearly more suitable to be the empress than Lin Ying.

However, thanks to the harmonious relationships within the harem, Xia Taige never entertained such thoughts.

We should wait until we have eliminated the great enemy before making any decisions.

After a brief conversation with Bing Youxue, Xia Taige even made time to spend with Yan Shi, Emperor Xia, and others.

Yan Shi, Emperor Xia, Lin Ying, and the others clearly did not know Bing Youxue, and therefore did not notice anything amiss.

Xia Taige did not mention this concern to Yan Shi and the others.

By the time Xia Taige returned to the Imperial Study, it was already late.

Donghuang Taiyi had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time and did not interrupt Xia Taige's idea of ​​accompanying Yan Shi and the others.

After nodding to each other in the imperial study, the two sat facing each other in silence for a long time.

The entire imperial study fell silent.

After the two pondered for a long time, Donghuang Taifang finally broke the silence.

"Now that the entire Nine Regions have gradually stabilized, what are Your Majesty's plans for the next step?"

It was worth the years of rectification by Donghuang Taiyi. Within the divine system, whether it be the City God, the Mountain God, or the Day-Roaming God, they have gradually become clean.

Those with wavering minds, and some with ulterior motives, are now in the underworld.

The internal troubles have gradually subsided.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige felt a headache coming on whenever the matter was brought up.

"After thinking about it for a long time, I've come up with two options!"

"Firstly, as you said before, we should assemble a force to break through the passage from the far north and launch a proactive attack on the Demon Realm!"

"Although this move is somewhat risky, as you said, even if the passage continues to exist for another thousand years, there is not much room for the Great Xia Dynasty to increase its strength."

"Secondly, it strengthens the defenses of the northern region, so that even if the passage is opened, the demons can be stopped in the far north."

"This will greatly reduce the harm to the people."

Between the two options, Xia Taige still leaned more towards the first one.

After all, in Xia Taige's heart, ever since he learned of the existence of the Demon Realm, he had regarded it as the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Xia Dynasty will eventually unify the Demon Realm and expand its territory. Under such circumstances, the first option is more in line with Xia Taige's mind.

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi did not hesitate at all and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Then let's go with the first option!"

P.S.: This book will be finished in the next day or two. Thank you all for your support along the way. It's a huge encouragement for me that my first book has received so much love from you all. Thank you, brothers! *throws confetti*
