You're the Fucking Biggest Warmonger in the Mortal Domain

The Mortal Domain's First Spring Examination officially came to an end.

The twelve top scorers and every candidate who passed the examination formally joined the Mortal Domain. Anyone qualified to sit it had already survived round after round of selection. Even those who hadn't topped the rankings were, if they passed, one in ten thousand.

"Congratulations, Domain Lord Chen. So many talented people joining will be a tremendous help to the Mortal Domain."

Chen Fan was in the Wooden Hut in Cave One, brewing tea over the stove, when Mr. Na slowly materialized beside him and offered his congratulations with a sigh. "You finally showed up."

Chen Fan did not turn around. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. "You came with me to Feng Qiya Continent, but you never appeared again afterward. You didn't even show up after we won the battle. I thought you'd gone into spring hibernation." After a long silence, Mr. Na spoke. "I heard Feng Qiya Continent's Heavenly Dao cry out in anguish before it died. Whatever that continent was like, I think its Heavenly Dao loved it as much as I love Eternal Night Continent."

"This is our home."

"To put it kindly, we are Heavenly Daos, the bridge between a continent and the heavens and earth. We are indispensable. Our existence means the heavens and earth recognize that continent."

"But to put it less kindly..."

"A Heavenly Dao is really just a continent's watchdog. When enemies come, we can do nothing but watch the war unfold." "I was thinking..."

"If the Mortal Domain keeps waging wars abroad, what if Eternal Night Continent suffers the same fate one day?"

"Those skilled at riding fall from horses, those skilled at swimming drown, and those skilled at war die by the blade."
