Ye Zhen had deliberated over the plan to unify the True Profound Continent many times.
There were essentially two directions. One was unification through military force.
Ye Zhen would support the Sun Moon Divine Cult and Qi Yun Sect of the Black Dragon Domain separately, dividing territories for them to unify the True Profound Continent.
With Ye Zhen's backing, even if these two were not the foremost powers on the True Profound Continent, there would be no suspense in their unification of the continent.
To say nothing else, once standardized Spirit Weapons and Soul Weapons were distributed, along with a portion of Peak Fire Repeating Crossbows, unifying the True Profound Continent would be just around the corner. All that was needed was time.
Yet it was precisely the matter of "time" that made Ye Zhen abandon this direction.
Ye Zhen had estimated that using this method to unify the True Profound Continent would take at least ten years, even at the fastest.
After all, whether it was the Sun Moon Divine Cult or Qi Yun Sect, after conquering territory, they would need a certain amount of time to digest their gains and strengthen themselves before they could expand again.
If they encountered a hero like Fu Dongxing, once he suffered defeat and went into hiding, one misstep could mire their expansion in a swamp.
To say nothing else, stirring up trouble at a crucial moment of expansion would be enough to ruin Qi Yun Sect's grand plans.
If several such people emerged, the time needed to unify the True Profound Continent might multiply—perhaps twenty years, perhaps thirty.
Ye Zhen could not accept such a timeline.
After turning it over and over in his mind, Ye Zhen chose another path to unification—personally stepping forward to subdue and control the leading figures
