Nighttime, Chen Kingdom's Demon-Defending City.
After greeting Chen Mu and Chen Zihu, Chen Mu returned to his study and carefully read the intelligence he had obtained from Listening Wind Tower.
" The Heavenly Court originated from the higher plane ' Nine Heavens Realm,' and it commands six middle planes and twenty-seven lower planes, making it one of the top powers in the universe..."
The information from Listening Wind Tower opened up a new world for Chen Mu, from which he learned a great deal about things beyond this realm.
In the beginning of chaos, before heaven and earth were separated, three thousand Chaos Gods and Devils were born. The countless fundamental material planes in this universe were created by these Chaos Gods and Devils.
Pan Emperor Continent is one of the basic material planes. After the Great God Pan Emperor created this world, he transformed into all things. Therefore, in the beginning, this universe only had basic material planes.
Then, the beings of the material plane broke free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, possessing power comparable to that of gods, and slowly created many small worlds.
These small worlds were divided into lower-level planes, middle-level planes, and higher-level planes based on their overall strength.
Since ancient times, the material plane, created by the Chaos Gods and Devils, has been the most powerful and solid of all planes, and is therefore also known as the supreme plane.
Although three thousand Gods and Devils were born from chaos, not every Gods and Devils was willing to create an evolutionary world. Therefore, material planes are very rare. In the information from Listening Wind Tower, only the Pan Emperor Continent was mentioned as a material plane.
" Grandpa Turtle said that even for a God Level expert, creating a plane is not easy, and a God Level expert who can possess a plane will be far stronger than an ordinary God Level."
Under the Heavenly Court, there are more than twenty lower-level planes and six middle-level planes.
This means they have at least thirty God Level experts among them, which is truly terrifying!
Chen Mu clicked his tongue in surprise, only then realizing how ignorant he had been.
However, according to White Turtle, the Heavenly Dao of the Pan Emperor Continent seems to have encountered a problem, and is currently rejecting any God Level experts from entering this plane. Therefore, at least within the Pan Emperor Continent, he does not need to fear the Heavenly Court.
Soon, Chen Mu had read through most of the Heavenly Court's intelligence, and several passages caught his attention.
"The progenitor of the Heavenly Court was likely Human Clan from the Pan Emperor Continent. Due to bloodline evolution, all their descendants possessed divine blood, thus breaking away to establish their own race, calling themselves the ' Celestial Person Race '..."
Ten thousand years ago, the Pan Emperor Continent was attacked by the Abyss Devil Race. The main force of the Heavenly Court turned the tide and repelled the Abyss Devil Race, thus gaining the support of the people of the Pan Emperor Continent and controlling a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power...
Chen Mu was very curious about the Heavenly Dao power mentioned here, but he didn't know which power the Heavenly Court specifically controlled.
The power of the Heavenly Dao is extremely terrifying, especially in a supreme plane like the Pan Emperor Continent. If a being is not within its rules, no living being can confront it head-on.
If someone completely controls the Heavenly Dao of the Pan Emperor Continent, then no one can possibly be their opponent. Although the Heavenly Court only controls a portion of it, it still makes him wary.
" Fan Jing once said that the Heavenly Court had always treated the Human Clan like pigs in a pen."
Based on this information, the Heavenly Court's power far surpasses that of the Human Clan, and it even controls a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power. Under such circumstances, the Human Clan has absolutely no voice. It seems the Heavenly Court's image is not as positive as it is commonly believed.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, Chen Mu was born in Wilderness the strong prey on the weak. This place was not within the territory of the Haotian Empire controlled by the Heavenly Court, so he was almost never affected by the Heavenly Court's power.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Heavenly Court is a divine organization that rules the world and is the creator of world order. The emperor of the Haotian Empire calls himself "Son of Heaven," meaning that he represents the Heavenly Court in controlling the world.
However, during Chen Mu's years of cultivation, nothing good ever came of the Heavenly Court. He also vaguely knew that his clan's inability to return to the Central Land was probably related to the Heavenly Court, so he never had a good impression of Heavenly Court.
"Let's investigate their background later and continue gathering intelligence on the Abyss Devil Race."
The intelligence scroll contained no record of the Heavenly Court's evil deeds, and it was unclear whether Listening Wind Tower was unaware of it or dared not publicize it.
The scroll containing information about the Heavenly Court automatically burned to ashes. Chen Mu took out another scroll and examined it carefully.
" The Abyss Devil Race originated from the higher plane ' Abyss Devil Realm,' and they control four middle planes and eight lower planes..."
The intelligence was quite detailed; if it were written into a book, it would be a very thick stack.
Fortunately, with Chen Mu's current cultivation level, he could easily achieve photographic memory, and he also had Biological Intelligent Brain in his sea of consciousness to assist him, which could convert the information into a data stream for storage.
"Although the overall strength of the Abyss Devil Race is weaker than that of the Heavenly Court, they seem to have powerful backers."
Unfortunately, Listening Wind Tower also lacked information about the forces behind him.
Chen Mu frowned. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt immense pressure when he truly understood the strength of the Abyss Devil Race.
Not long after, he finished reading the intelligence on the Abyss Devil Race.
After the scroll self-immolated, he sat there for a while to organize his thoughts, then sorted out the intelligence data in the AI and sent it to the high-ranking officials of the Chen Kingdom.
"We're going to take action against the Otherworldly Demon tomorrow, so everyone should take a close look at this information. We'll have a meeting in the operations command center in half an hour."
A Huo: "Roger!"
Chen Zihu: "Received!"
Chen Hongjie: "Received, I will participate using a remote projector!"
He quickly received replies from the senior management.
Half an hour later, Chen Mu arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of the Demon-Defending City, which is now the general command center for the battle against the Otherworldly Demon.
At this time, almost all of the Chen Kingdom's high-ranking officials had arrived. Only a few were unable to come, but they maintained real-time communication with him using remote communication technology.
"Now that everyone is here, I won't go into details and will get straight to the point."
Chen Mu sat in the center, his expression calm.
"I believe you have all seen the intelligence regarding Listening Wind Tower."
The reason I shared this intelligence with everyone was not to change our attack plan against the Otherworldly Demon, but to prepare everyone mentally and let them know what kind of enemy we are facing.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, the expressions of the crowd below varied; some had firm gazes, but most looked very somber.
" Chen Mu, are you really still going to fight? To be honest, I'm already thinking of withdrawing my troops."
Chen Zihu spoke first, looking worried.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. No matter how strong their strength is outside the realm, once they enter the Pan Emperor Continent, the strength that an individual can exert will not exceed that of Emperor Level."
With me here, the chances of victory are still very high.
Chen Mu knew that after seeing the intelligence, some people would definitely lose confidence in the war, and the purpose of this meeting was to reassure them.
Otherwise, if we let them remain in the dark, it will only become more dangerous in the future.
