Chapter 1017: 966-967 Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s preparation, matters of the immortal sect
Everyone desires longevity, especially those who wield authority.
Unfortunately, even though they held divine positions in the past, they were well aware that this could only extend their lifespans. True immortality was nothing but a fool’s dream to them.
Although immortality exists between Heaven and Earth, for them, it remains an elusive existence. Not even all the people of the entire Great Ming Divine Dynasty dare to claim they are sure of achieving longevity.
Once, many felt that among the many powerhouses of the entire Great Ming Divine Dynasty, perhaps only that Wang Boan was qualified to step into the True Immortal Realm and truly achieve immortality.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Wang Boan’s status within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was quite unique. Even if he did not vie for power or profit, countless people still curried favor with him, hoping to bask in his reflected glory.
True Immortals are immortal and undying. If one could establish a connection with a future True Immortal, even if it wasn’t useful now, they could leave a legacy for their descendants.
Wang Qiong treated Wang Boan with courtesy, even after Wang Boan had established his own line, not only because of past connections but also because he knew that one day he would die.
But Wang Boan was different. If there was a day when he became a True Immortal, then even if his own descendants were incompetent, they could still make use of his reflected glory.
However, now that the temptation of immortality is in front of their eyes, all this is no longer an illusion. They don’t need to think about relying on Wang Boan’s reflected glory, for if they could achieve immortality themselves, why depend on others?
If the Godsealing Plan is completed, and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty turns into the Heavenly Court, they would obtain immortal positions and could live as long as Heaven and Earth, achieving true immortality.

“We obey Your Majesty’s command, and dare not do otherwise!”
The civil and military officials knelt down in succession, a deafening chorus of voices rising, voicing their loyalty and reverence to Zhu Houji.
Indeed, within the Divine Dynasty, there had always been a struggle for power between the sovereign and his ministers. However, if there is a strong monarch with boundless merits, he would naturally command supreme dignity that even numerous officials cannot counterbalance, and his orders would face no obstacles.
Zhu Houji was just such a monarch at the moment. When the temptation of immortality was before them, all thoughts and calculations of the civil and military officials were suppressed.
Can any scheming for personal gain compare to the importance of immortality?
Thus, with the emergence of the Godsealing Plan and the temptation of divine positions, just as Pei Xuanjing and others had predicted, everyone’s enthusiasm was quickly ignited. They were willing to give their all, sparing no expense for the sake of longevity.
The country’s great affairs lie in sacrifices and in military campaigns. Such matters of mobilizing troops for war, in any force, any empire, even for the great cause of the human race, usually involve endless disputes and wrangling between various parties to balance the interests before a decision can be made.
But at this moment, when the opportunity for immortality is before them, all disputes and wrangling disappears. There are no interests that need balancing because the benefit of immortality overshadows all others.
Therefore, facing Zhu Houji’s proposal to wage war against the Demon Race and promote the Path of Humans, not a single person present had the thought of opposition. On the contrary, it received universal endorsement and agreement.
And it is believed that even if this news spread, all the subjects and soldiers of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would not oppose it. They would be thrilled at the prospect of war, bursting with excitement.
Waging war against the Demon Race to prosper Humanity and earning merits for a chance at immortality—under the promise of clear rewards and penalties, no one would refuse such an opportunity.
And with Hai Gangfeng, the well-known mountain master presiding over the Enthroning Gods, it is believed that everyone Between Heaven and Earth will not doubt his impartiality or show favoritism to others.
The fame of Hai Gangfeng is not only widespread within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty but also the human race cultivators between Heaven and Earth have long heard of him. Many cultivators from immortal sects and Great Powers know of Hai Gangfeng’s story.
No cultivator who has had dealings with Hai Gangfeng fails to be impressed by his character.
So when Pei Xuanjing decided that Hai Gangfeng would preside over the Enthroning Gods this time, not only was there no opposition within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, but forces from all around, including countless independent practitioners, also felt it was only right.
Originally, the support of fourteen True Immortals had already convinced countless human cultivators, but Hai Gangfeng’s involvement added another layer of assurance to the Godsealing Plan, causing even many ordinary people to believe it without doubt.
“From today on, the Divine Dynasty will reorganize its military, carry out roll calls and register the troops in all the Border Army stations, state roads, and prefecture offices, not allowing any vacancies or cases of drawing pay without service,” commanded Zhu Houji.
The military forces set to wage war against the Demon Race naturally need to reorganize their armaments. The council elders clearly understood Zhu Houji’s intention with this move to review the troops throughout the world.
In the past, they would have done everything to stop it, but now, these council elders would not hinder in the slightest; instead, they would fully support Zhu Houji. Should anyone dare to meddle, they would not let them off lightly.
The interests and rules of the past need to change. These council elders would definitely not let anyone obstruct their chance at immortality. Anyone who gets in the way is a mortal enemy and must be eliminated.
After this day’s morning meeting, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty began to operate at full speed.
Feudal imperialism has various shortcomings, but undoubtedly, in terms of mobilization, once it’s fully underway, it also faces little obstruction. Especially under such top-down pressure, many internal problems of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty are no longer obstacles.
