Chen Mu's seclusion lasted a full five years.

This was the longest period of seclusion Chen Mu had ever experienced in his cultivation career. While Chen Mu was in seclusion, the " Dragon-Like Scripture " was also spreading rapidly in the Chen Kingdom. By now, Chen Mu could sense about 20% of the power of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao.

"Recently, I've been feeling the power of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao increasing at a slower and slower pace!"

It seems that the spread of the " Dragon-Like Scripture " in the Chen Kingdom has reached a bottleneck. If it wants to achieve rapid growth again, it can only spread to the territories of other Human Clan territories.

After five years, his research on the power of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao has finally yielded some results. He is confident that even if an Emperor Level expert attacks him, he can protect himself as long as he is on the Pan Emperor Continent.

" A Mu, if you wake up, come into the Spirit Network Space!"

After opening his eyes, Chen Mu saw a new message on his communication jade tablet. Without hesitation, he focused his attention on the Spirit Network Space.

At this moment, many important figures were gathered in the Spirit Network Space. Chen Hongjie was sitting in the center. When he saw Chen Mu appear, he wanted to give up the main seat to Chen Mu, but Chen Mu waved his hand to stop him.

"Everyone! I've gathered you all here today because there's something important I want to discuss with you."

Chen Hongjie reached out and pulled, and a beautiful three-dimensional map of the territory unfolded in mid-air.

"Recently, our spies discovered that the ferocious beasts within the territory of the Haotian Empire have been almost completely eradicated!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Dragon-Toppling Society, a Heavenly King also made a probing attack on them, but was frightened away by the Lord of the Saint Clan.

All these signs indicate that the Haotian Empire has gradually stabilized the domestic situation. If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before they begin their attack on the Dragon-Toppling Society.

I'd like to know, what suggestions do you have regarding the current situation?

Chen Mu's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing Chen Hongjie's words.

Before he went into seclusion, there were still many ferocious beasts within the Haotian Empire. He estimated that it would take at least another ten years for the Haotian Empire to quell the chaos caused by these beasts.

After all, Kunlun Heaven Realm was originally located above Central Province. When Kunlun Heaven Realm collapsed, the number of ferocious beasts that fell into Central Province must have been the largest.

However, now that the Haotian Empire has actually escaped the chaos of the ferocious beasts, the most likely explanation is that the Haotian Empire has received a new influx of power. Needless to say, the Heavenly Court must have sent reinforcements to the Haotian Empire again.

"What did the Dragon-Toppling Society say? Did they ask us for help?"

The Manju, God of the Other Shore, asked.

Yes! Duan Tianlong has already expressed his opinion.

If the Haotian Empire sends troops against them, they can only hold out for two months at most. If we don't provide support within those two months, they will withdraw and abandon the two Youyi states.

The organizational structure of Fanlonghui is very different from that of Chen Guo. It is more like a Jianghu organization.

Although they now occupy the two states of Youyi, their control is very loose. If all else fails, they can abandon the cities and let their core members hide, so that the Heavenly Court can't do anything to them.

The reason they can do this is mainly because they have a solid grassroots foundation.

The two states of Youyi have been the territory of the Soul Clan and the Saint Clan since ancient times. A large number of people from the Soul Clan and the Holy Clan live there. Unless the Heavenly Court wipes out all the Soul Clan and the Saint Clan on the Pan Emperor Continent, it is impossible to completely exterminate the Dragon-Toppling Society.

However, if these two races were to be exterminated, the Soul and Saint Realms would definitely fight the Heavenly Court to the death. Before the Heavenly Court has completely taken control of the Pan Emperor Continent, it would not dare to go to such extremes.

"In that case, I think it's time for us to launch a counterattack against the Haotian Empire!"

In any case, our control over the Wilderness is already on track, and the troops deployed there can be mobilized at any time.

Chen Haoran spoke, he glanced back at Chen Mu, clearly seeking his opinion.

He was also pleased to see Chen Mu emerge from seclusion, but now was clearly not the time to celebrate; everything would have to wait until the important matters were discussed.

I agree with my father's decision!

These years of recuperation and development have allowed our Chen Kingdom to reach its peak of national strength.

Now is the perfect time to launch a counterattack against the Haotian Empire; we can certainly fight with all our might.

Chen Mu immediately raised his watch in agreement.

In the short time after Chen Hongjie spoke, he had already roughly reviewed the changes in the Chen Kingdom over the past five years through the Spirit Magnetic Network System. After a moment's thought, he quickly made a decision.

Before he went into seclusion, the biggest problem for the Chen Kingdom was conquering the Wilderness. At that time, nearly half of the Chen Kingdom's military force was sent to the Wilderness.

Now, more than 80% of the Wilderness area has been covered by the Spirit Magnetic Base Station, and places with precious natural resources have also been brought under the surveillance of the Chen Kingdom.

There is no need to have so many troops stationed in the Wilderness anymore; a small force is sufficient to maintain stability.

"Since you two have both decided this way, I naturally support you."

Chen Hongjie nodded, his gaze turning serious as he looked at Chen Mu.

"However, there's one issue I still need to confirm."

"A Mu, are you now confident that you can save the Chen Kingdom from the clutches of Heavenly Emperor Haoyu?"

This issue is clearly very crucial. After the collapse of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Emperor Haoyu was actually able to act without any scruples on the Pan Emperor Continent.

The reason he hasn't attacked the Chen Kingdom yet is because he has something more important to do: to devour the fragments of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao.

For him, the Abyss Devil Emperor and the Insect Emperor Sala, who are also devouring fragments of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao, are his true opponents.

Although Chen Kingdom is indeed annoying, as long as he can devour enough fragments of Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao, he can completely destroy Chen Kingdom by himself. Therefore, he has been too lazy to pay attention to the Chen Kingdom these days.

However, if the Chen Kingdom were to provoke the Heavenly Court at this time, the outcome would be uncertain. The Heavenly Emperor Haoyu could simply spend a short time killing off all of the Chen Kingdom's powerful figures, and the Chen Kingdom would collapse without a fight.

"I have a 90% chance of saving myself, but if it comes to saving everyone else, I only have about a 30% chance."

Chen Mu cautiously gave his answer.

"Thirty percent? That's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hongjie nodded with a sigh of relief.

If Chen Mu hadn't emerged from seclusion, Chen Hongjie would certainly not have agreed to send troops to the Haotian Empire; it would have been a death sentence. But now, with Chen Mu as a backer, the situation is completely different.

There is never a battle in this world that can be won with 100% certainty, but as long as there is hope of victory, he will not let it go. After all, if the Heavenly Court is allowed to grow stronger, the Chen Kingdom will also be doomed in the future.

"Okay! It's decided then."

I will begin adjusting the distribution of my forces today, and I anticipate launching an attack on the Haotian Empire in two months.

After returning to the Haotian Empire, Chen Haoran took over as the Grand Marshal of the Chen Kingdom's army. He was known for his swift and decisive military campaigns, and in a short time, he had already made a simple plan.

"I have no objection. The matter of troop deployment will be entirely handled by Father. I still need to continue my research on the dissemination of the ' Dragon-Like Scripture."

After Chen Mu made his statement, many important figures in the Chen Kingdom expressed their opinions, and after determining their respective tasks, the Spirit Network meeting concluded.
