I Am the Heavenly Emperor, and I Shall Slay All Enemies Under Heaven!

"Want to follow me?" Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.

He truly had not expected Jun Linglong to have such an idea.

Having followers was extremely common.

Behind each of the Jun Family's ten great sequences stood a group of remarkably capable followers.

Some were prodigious disciples from within the Jun Family, while others were talents recruited and subdued from outside.

In short, every peerless figure would cultivate followers, who would become an important force in the future.

Even his father, Jun Wuhui, had once possessed a group of followers known to the world as the Eight Divisions of the Divine King. Each one could stand on their own and was a peerless hero.

Jun Xiaoyao had not failed to consider it, but he was only three years old now and was in no hurry to recruit followers, so he had never paid it much mind.

"Why?" Jun Xiaoyao asked curiously.

Was it just because he had broken through the eternal extreme realm?

"An instinct," Jun Linglong said, her beautiful eyes deep and unfathomable.

She could not conveniently speak of that fragment of the future, because revealing it might force her to bear some immense karma.

Jun Linglong was still unable to withstand such consequences.

"Instinct?" Jun Xiaoyao was at a loss for words.

He had also noticed that Jun Linglong likely knew something, yet had not stated it outright.

Still, he had heard a little about Jun Linglong before.

Born with the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, she was quick-witted and intelligent, always a step ahead when comprehending any cultivation method or martial art.

If she did not perish, she was destined to become a Saint in the future.

Such a favored daughter of heaven would be the center of attention wherever she went, and she was indeed qualified to follow Jun Xiaoyao.

Grandfather takes care of my daily needs every day. Other than lecturing me on the Dao, he just nags me to grow up and spread the Jun Family's branches and leaves... Jun Xiaoyao thought helplessly.

Though his outward appearance was only that of a three-year-old, his mind had long since matured. Facing a doddering old man all day, even if it was his own grandfather, was still terribly dull.

Having Jun Linglong serve as a maid to tend to my daily needs would not be bad either, Jun Xiaoyao thought.

He had not considered nurturing Jun Linglong into anything, but having her as a maidservant was acceptable enough.

If outsiders learned of Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts, they would surely want to hammer him to death.

He actually wanted a favored daughter of heaven, adored by countless stars and watched by tens of thousands, to become a maid?

One had to know that even a prodigious sequence like Jun Zhangjian had only wanted to recruit Jun Linglong as a fellow cultivator.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to speak, a female voice rang out.

"Jun Linglong, you actually took the initiative to follow someone else?"

The one questioning her was Lan Qingya.

She did not dare offend Jun Xiaoyao, so she could only turn her sharp words toward Jun Linglong.

"What is it?" Jun Linglong said indifferently.

Before Jun Xiaoyao, she might feel uneasy and nervous, but she had no reservations whatsoever toward Lan Qingya.

"Young Master Zhangjian personally offered to recruit you, yet you rejected him. And now you are taking the initiative to follow someone else. Where does that leave Young Master Zhangjian's face?" Lan Qingya asked with an ugly expression.

Was Jun Linglong not openly slapping Jun Zhangjian across the face with this?

"Jun Zhangjian is outstanding, but the person I, Jun Linglong, follow will be someone capable of suppressing an entire era!" Jun Linglong's voice carried a trace of fervor.

"Heh... suppressing an entire era? Do you mean him?" Lan Qingya blurted out without restraint.

"Hmph, where did this ill-mannered thing come from!"

Before Jun Xiaoyao could say anything, Jun Zhantian's brows rose as he swept his sleeve!

Pfft!

Lan Qingya's delicate body was blasted away and crashed heavily onto the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

This was only because Jun Zhantian valued his status and could not be bothered to kill Lan Qingya.

"If there is a chance in the future, I would like to spar with Cousin Zhangjian. As for you, get lost..." Jun Xiaoyao said flatly.

He could not even be bothered to act against such a minor character.

Lan Qingya's face turned deathly pale. She glanced at Jun Linglong, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes, then turned and left.

Jun Linglong paid her no attention. Instead, her gaze remained fixed on Jun Xiaoyao, and an unexpectedly pitiful look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Any other man would likely have agreed impatiently long ago.

After pondering for a moment, Jun Xiaoyao asked, "Can you serve tea and pour water?"

The instant those words came out, everyone was stunned.

Jun Linglong was also momentarily taken aback, but she still nodded instinctively.

Though she had never done such work before, that did not mean she could not do it.

"Can you wash clothes and fold bedding?" Jun Xiaoyao asked again.

Jun Linglong still nodded with a blank expression.

"Good. Then I agree." Jun Xiaoyao answered crisply.

Only then did Jun Linglong and the surrounding people understand.

So Jun Xiaoyao was not selecting a follower at all—he was selecting a maidservant.

For a moment, all the male prodigies present revealed looks of envy and jealousy.

Not just anyone could make Jun Linglong become a maidservant.

Jun Linglong herself was dazed for an instant. She, a lofty favored daughter of heaven, had really become a maid?

But when she thought of that fragment of the future, determination filled Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes.

She parted her jade-like lips and asked, "Young Divine Son has asked so much. May Linglong ask one question as well?"

"What question?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"If Young Divine Son becomes the Heavenly Emperor in the future, what will you do?" Jun Linglong asked. Her gaze remained fixed upon Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head. "Very simple..."

"I am the Heavenly Emperor; I shall slay all enemies under heaven!"

As Jun Xiaoyao's words fell—

Thunder exploded beyond the heavens, and the winds and clouds of the firmament churned!

His words followed the law, turning heaven and earth pale!

Everyone revealed shocked expressions. They had never seen such a scene before.

Jun Zhantian also drew a deep breath, his expression incomparably complicated.

"Wuhui, your child truly is like you were back then—his heroic spirit soars to the heavens..."

Jun Zhantian knew that these words represented a great karma that had fallen upon Jun Xiaoyao.

At the very moment Jun Xiaoyao spoke those words—

From a life-restricted zone somewhere in the Immortal Domain came an incomparably ancient, hoarse voice.

"This generation of the Jun Family has no small ambitions, hehe..."

Elsewhere, from an ancient spirit mountain where divine phoenixes danced and true phoenixes coiled, came a cold, mocking laugh.

"Slay all enemies under heaven? Heh... Have Jun Wuhui's descendants become this arrogant?"

Within an ancient nest where dragon veins converged, cold words also rang out.

"In this era, the Imperial Path shall appear. Descendants of our clan, such as Long Aotian, will make the Jun Family and other ancient aristocratic families understand what it means for prodigies to bleed and for desolation to fill the eye!"

Jun Xiaoyao likely had not expected that a casual remark from him would cause such a disturbance.

When he came back to his senses, he found Jun Linglong staring at him with incomparably bright eyes.

"What is it?" Jun Xiaoyao touched his face.

"Linglong is willing to follow at Young Divine Son's side!" Jun Linglong had completely made up her mind, without the slightest wavering.

From that one sentence, Jun Linglong understood many things.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded. This time, his gains had truly been complete.

He had signed in and obtained the Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force, broken through the eternal extreme realm, and received the Heavenly Dao's reward—the Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Method.

He had even received three immortal divine herbs bestowed by the Eighteenth Ancestor.

And in the end, he had somehow recruited a golden-haired girl to be his maid. It could truly be called a perfect conclusion.
