Willingness, Consolidating Forces
Everyone fell silent.
They lowered their heads, pondering Li Yunjing's words.
After a long while, the chieftain of the Mushroom Spirit Race was the first to step forward.
He bowed deeply to Li Yunjing and said respectfully, "Senior Li Yunjing, I was wrong. I am willing to lead the Goblin Race to submit to you and fight against the Holy Domain together!"
Immediately afterward, the chieftain of the Flying Squirrel Race stepped forward and said, "Senior Li Yunjing, I am also willing to lead the Rat Race to submit to you!"
"We Turtle Race are willing too!"
"We Frog Race are willing too!"
"We're still here!"
"..."
More and more tribal leaders stepped forward and expressed their willingness to submit.
Those races that originally advocated neutrality also expressed their willingness to follow Li Yunjing.
No one chose to leave.
Because they all knew that Li Yunjing was telling the truth.
Surrendering to the Holy Domain means certain death, but following Li Yunjing offers a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, Li Yunjing's demonstrated strength gave them enough confidence.
Shen Tian looked at the scene before him with an excited expression.
He bowed deeply to Li Yunjing and said, "Senior Xie! If it weren't for you, the Southern Region would truly be finished today!"
Li Yunjing waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. We are allies, and helping each other is only right."
Shen Tian straightened up and addressed the crowd in the square, saying loudly, "Everyone, from this day forward, we, the hundred races of the Southern Region, officially form an alliance and jointly elect Senior Li Yunjing as our leader! Under Senior Li Yunjing's leadership, we will overthrow the rule of the three Dao Lords and liberate the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm!"
Long live the Alliance Leader!
Long live Senior Li Yunjing!
"Overthrow the Holy Domain! Liberate the Primordial Beginning!"
A deafening cheer resounded throughout the entire Realm of the Gods.
The various tribes of the Southern Region finally united and formed a united front.
Inside the council hall of the Realm of the Gods, a giant map covering the entire Eastern Domain and Southern Region was spread out on a white jade table.
Li Yunjing held a wolf-hair brush and drew circles on the map with a focused expression.
Shen Tian stood to his left, with the leaders of the Hundred Clans of the Southern Region behind him.
Qingyun, Golden Wing King, and others stood on the right, representing the power of the Eastern Domain.
Everyone held their Spirit Concentration, their eyes fixed on the tip of the pen in Li Yunjing's hand.
Three days have passed since the alliance of the Hundred Clans of the Southern Region was formed.
Over the past three days, Li Yunjing has devoted all his energy to integrating the forces of the North and South.
He broke down the barriers between the Eastern Domain and Southern Region, reorganized the armies of the two regions, and divided them into different branches of service according to their talents and strengths.
"The Stone Race possesses incredibly tough bodies and immense strength; all of them will be incorporated into the Wu Earth Divine Soldiers." Li Yunjing's pen hovered over the Stone Race's settlement in the Southern Region. "I will teach you an advanced version of the ' Wu Earth Profound Art.' Within a month, I want to see a force of 30,000 heavily armored infantry, each capable of withstanding a single blow from Early Dao Union cultivator."
Shi Jian, the patriarch of the Stone Race, thumped his chest and said in a deep voice, "Alliance Leader, rest assured! Our Stone Race will absolutely not let you down! If even one of our brothers cannot withstand an attack from Early Dao Union a month from now, I, Shi Jian, will offer my head in retribution!"
Li Yunjing nodded, then moved his pen to the settlement of the Feather Race: "The Feather Race are fast, have good eyesight, and are skilled in archery. They are all incorporated into the Netherworld Shadow Slayer Army and the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Army."
Two thousand of them learned stealth and assassination techniques, responsible for reconnaissance and decapitation; three thousand learned the use of the Thunderfire Crossbow, responsible for long-range fire support.
The Feather Race Chief, Yu Ling, bowed respectfully, her voice clear and melodious. "I obey the Alliance Leader's command!"
"The Water Race excels at healing and manipulating water currents. They have formed a medical corps of two thousand to accompany the main force," Li Yunjing continued.
"The Six-Armed Race possesses superhuman strength and dexterity; all of them have been incorporated into the logistics force, responsible for forging weapons and constructing fortifications. The remaining members of the Shadow Race are under the unified command of the Azure Scale King, specializing in infiltration and intelligence gathering..."
One command after another came from Li Yunjing's mouth, clear and unambiguous.
None of the leaders of the various tribes in the Southern Region raised any objections.
Since Li Yunjing killed Mo Ying with a single sword strike, his prestige in the Southern Region has become unmatched.
After assigning tasks to the various tribes in the Southern Region, Li Yunjing turned to Qingyun and said, "Qingyun, the Human Race Allied Army in the Eastern Domain will transfer 10,000 elite troops to supplement the three Daoist armies."
The remaining men were to form regular infantry units, responsible for guarding cities and Spirit Vein throughout the land.
"Yes, senior." True Lord Qingyun bowed and replied.
Li Yunjing put down his wolf-hair brush, glanced at everyone, and slowly said, "Everyone, from today onwards, the Eastern Domain Southern Region are one entity. We are not divided by race or region; we have only one common goal: to overthrow the rule of the three Dao Lords and establish a new order."
"I know that many people are still afraid, afraid of the strength of the three Dao Lords, afraid that resistance will bring death." Li Yunjing's voice paused, then became even more resolute.
"But I want to tell you, fear solves nothing. Only by taking up arms and fighting back can we survive."
"I have inscribed all of the Luozhen Sect's Daoist soldier training methods on the stone tablet Hall of the Gods."
"Overthrow the Holy Domain! Liberate the Primordial Beginning!"
Someone shouted first, and then the entire hall erupted in cheers.
"Overthrow the Holy Domain! Liberate the Primordial Beginning!"
"Follow the leader! You'll never regret it!"
The deafening cheers echoed for a long time in the Realm of the Gods.
In the days that followed, the entire Eastern Domain Southern Region were transformed into a massive military camp.
Every day, the area in front of the huge stone tablet Hall of the Gods is crowded with cultivators from various races who come to learn the training methods for Dao soldiers.
They eagerly learned this advanced training method from another world, and their skills improved rapidly.
The warriors of the Stone Race practiced the "Wu Earth Profound Art" every day, tempering their bodies. Their armor grew thicker and their strength increased.
The warriors of other tribes were the same, training systematically according to Li Yunjing's plan.
The strength of the three Daoist armies is changing rapidly.
The Wu Earth Divine Soldiers has already taken shape, especially after the addition of 30,000 Stone Race warriors. Each Wu Earth Divine Soldiers wears heavy armor weighing tens of thousands of kilograms of Xuantie, and wields a giant axe and a shield, forming an Indestructible battle formation.
Even Hei Feng's full-force attack couldn't shake their formation.
The warriors of the Netherworld Shadow Slayer Army have become proficient in using the "Netherworld Stealth Technique".
They can even approach the enemy silently in broad daylight and deliver a fatal blow.
The warriors of the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Army are skilled at manipulating the power of thunder and fire.
Each warrior's lightning-fire crossbow bolt possessed immense power, easily piercing the defenses of a cultivator in the Early Dao Union.
Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain, Primordial Beginning Hall.
The three Dao Lords remained seated on their thrones, but their expressions were more somber than ever before.
In the center of the hall, a black-clad messenger knelt, his body trembling.
He had just returned from the Southern Region, bringing news that Li Yunjing had unified the Southern Region and formed an alliance with the God Race.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" The Scarlet Emperor slammed his hand on the armrest of his throne, and terrifying Fire Element elemental power erupted instantly, causing the temperature of the entire hall to rise sharply.
The black-clad messenger's hair and eyebrows were instantly singed, and his skin began to smoke.
