Ch. 684Universal Sovereign
Chen Mobai sent Jiang Zongheng into the mortal world to find a ruler capable of unifying the Eastern Wasteland. After surveying several kingdoms, Jiang Zongheng chose Jian Country as his strongest prospect and offered King Han the Divine Wood Sect’s support, leaving the aging king and his three sons to prepare for a struggle to unite the Seven Kingdoms.
- Chen Mobai ordered Jiang Zongheng to seek a heroic ruler who could unify the Eastern Wasteland and gave him the Three Volumes.
- Jiang Zongheng visited Zhao Zheng in Yan Kingdom, promising an introduction to Chen Mobai if Zhao Zheng became the Eastern Wasteland’s unified ruler.
- Jiang Zongheng found no suitable candidate among the rulers of Hong Kingdom, Lei Kingdom, and other kingdoms he visited.
- In Jian Country, Jiang Zongheng healed the ailing King Han and judged that none of the king’s three princes seemed fit to become a human lord.
- Jiang Zongheng told King Han that the Divine Wood Sect would support whichever ruler unified the Seven Kingdoms under its influence and would then help conquer the remaining kingdoms.
- King Han concluded that Jian Country had to defeat the other Six Nations first, while Grand Tutor Jiang and the Divine Wood Sect could handle the remaining twelve.
