The Ork Empire That Couldn't Stop
I've been thinking for a whole day and night, wasting countless brain cells.
Dragonheart God-King finally made a decision.
He will continue to secretly observe Chen Changhe's movements and the development of the situation, keeping a low profile and being cautious, and not easily revealing his attitude.
He will also secretly make further contact with those deities in the Pantheon who may have sided with Chen Changhe.
On the one hand, they sought to gather more information and understand Chen Changhe's intentions; on the other hand, they sent some friendly signals to Chen Changhe, leaving room for possible future submission or cooperation.
"At the same time... I need to take the initiative to send an envoy with precious gifts to visit Chen Changhe in the coming period to express my respect to him."
"After all, he is His Majesty the Emperor, and I am a duke. This is the proper etiquette."
"Furthermore, erect a statue of Chen Changhe on my territory as a sign of respect."
This has been done in many parts of the Ork Empire, except in the territories of a few dukes.
He's been wrong for so long; now he needs to correct his mistakes.
Actually, he had a better plan.
For example, he could incite the other God King to rebel against Chen Changhe, and then secretly sell them out as a pledge of loyalty to gain Chen Changhe's trust.
Although he wasn't a good person, he at least had some principles.
He simply couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.
We'll just have to let it go.
Unbeknownst to Dragonheart God-King, Chen Changhe learned of their secret gathering immediately.
Today, at least one-third of the deities in the Dragonheart Pantheon are secondary deities of the Ork Pantheon.
At least half of the deities identify more with the Ork Pantheon than with the Dragonheart Pantheon.
There are three Main God here.
It just so happens that one of the Main God is in charge of receiving the various God King today.
Every detail of what happened between them was transmitted to Chen Changhe by that Main God.
Chen Changhe sat on the throne, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his eyes revealing wisdom and authority.
He had anticipated these situations where the Blue Star God King of Earth were dissatisfied with him, and he was fully prepared for them.
If they dare to rebel, Chen Changhe can suppress them and take them down in no time.
"I just didn't expect the Dragonheart God-King to be so reasonable."
This made Chen Changhe a little embarrassed.
To be fair, the Dragonheart God-King has always treated him quite well.
Trying every means to poach their employees is indeed going too far.
However, in this dog-eat-dog world, Chen Changhe's actions were not wrong in the slightest.
"The Virgin Mary cannot be a god."
As gods, the first lesson they must learn is the art of thick-skinnedness and ruthlessness.
I would rather betray the world than let any one person betray me.
We must properly inherit Cao Aman's unique skills.
In this world of gods, kindness and mercy are the path to death.
The gods must learn to be ruthless and decisive, resorting to any means to achieve their own interests and status. Only those gods who are proficient in the art of Machiavellianism can navigate the turbulent situation with ease and remain standing.
Those "saintly" individuals who harbor pity and weakness will ultimately be eliminated by this ruthless world and become dust in history.
"The weak deserve only to eat dust!"
Excessive and unrealistic kindness and tolerance often lead to disaster.
Don't be fooled by Chen Changhe's current smooth sailing; it's all built on the deterrent power of waaaaagh.
However, Chen Changhe knew that the so-called "Beyond God-King" did not exist.
He is now walking in a mirage, seemingly safe but actually fraught with danger. Once the false deterrent disappears, he may fall into an abyss of no return.
"All I can do is improve my strength as quickly as possible, at least to the Beyond God-King."
The false identity of "waaaaagh" Beyond God-King cannot last long.
Sooner or later, things will be exposed, and then Chen Changhe will have to rely on his true strength to deal with the possible predicaments and challenges.
"Right now, I must do everything in my power to gather all available resources to improve myself and the strength of the entire Ork Empire."
For Chen Changhe, the threat he faces is not limited to the gods within the Ork Empire.
The native God King of Blue Star, led by Dragonheart God-King, were too weak to pose a threat to him.
The three Ancient God King were reincarnations posed little threat to him, except for the Goblin Overlord.
Even the Goblin Overlord's attention is now completely focused on the treasures of Blue Star's own planet. At this time, it's better to avoid trouble, and he basically has no intention of opposing Chen Changhe.
As long as Chen Changhe doesn't go too far, he's unlikely to actively seek trouble with Chen Changhe.
The real threat comes from outside the Ork Empire.
Since the Blue Star Divine Civilization transformed into the Ork Empire, the entire Divine Civilization has become a war machine focused on outward expansion.
They are at war every moment, frantically plundering resources and expanding their territory. This aggressive expansion will inevitably arouse the vigilance and hostility of other powerful forces or civilizations in the surrounding area. Those external forces may launch a counterattack against the Ork Empire at any time.
However, Chen Changhe is now in a difficult position, as the entire Ork Empire's expansionist pace has become unstoppable.
For the Orks, war and brutality are in their very nature.
Not giving them enough war will hinder the development of this clan.
On the one hand, they must deal with potential external counterattacks at any time; on the other hand, they must consider how to find a balance and a path to development while satisfying the inherent nature of the Orks.
Chen Changhe now seems to be caught in a dilemma: he must ensure the expansion and survival of the Imperium, while also facing a series of potential crises and challenges that come with it. The road ahead is full of uncertainty and difficulties.
"But I had no choice..."
Although taking a step back can open up new possibilities, Chen Changhe cannot back down.
If he chooses to back down, not only will his own status and prestige be greatly affected, but the entire Ork Empire may also fall into chaos and turmoil.
Under his influence, humanity on Blue Star has become extremely radical and desperately craves military achievements.
For ordinary gods and humans, gaining military merit was the key to their rise to prominence and changing their destiny, so they closely followed Chen Changhe's footsteps and forged ahead in this radical atmosphere.
In this atmosphere, Chen Changhe couldn't bring himself to go against everyone's wishes and forcefully slam on the brakes.
Moreover, from the outside perspective, he is backed by waaaaagh, Beyond God-King.
With such powerful backing, it would be abnormal for him to be timid and hesitant.
In this situation, Chen Changhe seemed to be placed on a high pedestal, pushed forward by the desires of the masses and the perceptions of the outside world, making it difficult to easily change this radical trend.
"Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six kingdoms of the world, probably had the same mindset back then!"
Chen Changhe gave a wry smile; he was under immense pressure.
The slightest misstep could lead to unpredictable consequences, and all previous achievements could collapse in an instant.
