"I will retake control of the Snake Demon Empire."
Bai Yujun announced the first step of her plan: to become the Demon Emperor of the Snake Demon Empire once more.
Joy appeared on the faces of Qiao Jin and the other generals. With the Dragon Emperor taking power, action would surely follow. They had awaited this day for countless years. The Dragon Sleep Lesser World, developed by the Snake Demon Empire, was already nearing saturation and urgently needed to expand outward.
"My Emperor is wise!"
The loyalty of the generals was beyond doubt.
This was the benefit of having a powerful living being in power. So long as Bai Yujun did not lose her head, absolute rule brought absolute stability.
Besides, Mu, an ancient god, was there to prod and keep her in line.
"This dragon has been away from the Southern Wasteland for far too long and is unfamiliar with many matters. Little Qiao, tell me about our current strength. For instance, whether our troops, resources, and equipment are sufficient. There may be a campaign ahead that lasts several hundred years."
A campaign lasting several hundred years? Qiao Jin and the other generals looked at one another, then rejoiced greatly.
"Reporting to the Dragon Emperor, the Empire's territory is vast: the Southern Wasteland, the azure deep sea, and the far northern ice plains. Other than the Central Plains humans and the Nine Li of the Southern Wasteland, all beneath heaven belongs to the Empire!"
Bai Yujun raised her delicate brows. Such a vast territory was only to be expected.
With strength far surpassing the Cultivation World, if they could still only huddle within the Southern Wasteland, they might as well hang themselves from a southeastern branch. Expansion would inevitably bring storms of blood and fishy winds, and long wars
