A proclamation to the world: Great Emperors pledge allegiance and receive emperor weapons

As for Dai Zhenshan taking the initiative to join Tianyuan and pledge his service to the Holy Land...

His old friend Li Xuanyuan was not surprised to see it.

But he recalled that invincible figure from a hundred years ago, who had single-handedly crushed the Beast Calamity and every invading enemy.

Then he looked at Dai Zhenshan now, kneeling on one knee before Chen Mu.

"..." The contrast still stirred complicated feelings in Li Xuanyuan's heart.

It also made him understand all the more clearly just how monstrous Chen Mu had become!

"Please rise, Senior. I'll make the decision myself. There's no problem at all. From this day forward, Senior Dai is one of us at Tianyuan."

"Rather, having an unrivaled expert like Senior Dai join us is an honor for our Tianyuan Holy Land," Chen Mu said politely.

"Thank you, Young Master!" The stone hanging over Dai Zhenshan's heart finally settled safely to the ground.

He had seen that Chen Mu was an immensely ambitious man. At this rate, all of Great Cang would sooner or later fall under his name.

A person's greatest virtue was knowing their own
