Chapter 629 Recruiting Frenzy

The news that the central army had discovered a resource-rich Daluo universe could not be concealed after all. All the major immortal sects and Taoist sects were making moves, all wanting to be teleported over to get a piece of the pie. Of course, before that they had to test the emperor and empress's intentions.

Empress Su Qinghuang was not polite either. From that day on, she took over the Taiyi Universe and the Daluo Universe as the property of the Heavenly Court. No immortal sects were allowed to interfere at will. Only the Golden Immortal Universe could be fought for.

Of course, it is not absolutely impossible. Several conditions must be met. First, the immortal sect in Daluo Universe or Taiyi Universe can lend a helping hand. Second, the immortal sect can pay a generous amount of merit. Third, the Heavenly Court allows it.

In this case, the expeditionary force becomes very important. If there are no Golden Immortals and Taiyi of the Luotian Immortal Sect in the expeditionary warships of the central army, then even if the expeditionary force captures Taiyi or the Daluo Universe, the Luotian Immortal Sect will not be qualified to intervene.

If one does not have enough merit, even if the first condition is met, one cannot intervene. Of course, the most important condition is the third condition. It is very magical that the Heavenly Court allows this condition. Simply put, this is a problem of the attitude of the emperor and empress.

Even though everyone was secretly complaining about this, no one had anything to say. No one inside or outside the Heavenly Court dared to oppose the Emperor and Empress' decision. Moreover, this decision of the Emperor and Empress gave the Taoist sect an opportunity.

On the expeditionary force's warships, especially the central army, are all immortals from the Eight Desolate Universe, but there are not many heavenly soldiers and generals. They don't even need to leave the warships, as long as they participate in them, they can meet condition one.

Conditions two and three depend on the game between the immortal sects. Top sects like Luotian Immortal Sect, Luofu Sect, and the Ten Great Immortal Sects will definitely seize the opportunity, and it will be a bit difficult for other immortal sects to catch up.

Even so, he is much stronger than other immortals without background or immortals of small forces, so he has no objection to the Heavenly Court's inclusion of Taiyi Universe and Daluo Universe into its management.

On the Internet, many immortals were complaining about the tyranny of Heaven, but the immortals of Heaven also participated in the discussion, saying bluntly that these universes themselves were subordinate to Heaven and all belonged to Heaven, and even the Golden Immortal Universe did not belong to any immortal sect.

The fate was determined in one sentence. If it were not for the mercy of Heaven, the immortal sects and Taoist sects would not be able to participate and would not be able to gain any benefits. After all, the entire universe belonged to Heaven. Heaven only mobilized the immortal sects to help develop the Golden Immortal Universe.

As of the 36,000th year of the Eight Wildernesses Calendar, the number of Daluo Universes that had surrendered to Heaven had reached 48, the number of Taiyi Universes had reached 180, and there were 76 new Taiyi gods and demons that had surrendered to Heaven.

The immortals who pay attention to the Heavenly Court will know that the number of Taiyi gods and demons in the Heavenly Court has increased. These are all Taiyi who are loyal to the Emperor and Empress. Although the position of each immortal official is not high, they all have real power and considerable influence in the Heavenly Court.

Because of their appearance and the establishment of the Eight Desolations Academy, the living space of the Taoist sects was directly compressed. The influence of the Taoist sects was further weakened, and the Heavenly Court became the only place that the immortals yearned for.

At this year's small court meeting, the emperor and empress continued to follow the previous practice of rewarding first and then punishing. Afterwards, the emperor and empress required all immortals above the Golden Immortal level to leave the Eight Desolate Universe and go to the Golden Immortal Universe to take charge. Above every standard Golden Immortal Universe, there must be three Golden Immortal-level envoys.

All the Golden Immortal Universes that have been recorded by the Heavenly Court and appeared in the Universe Atlas will welcome new envoys, some will be rotated, and some will be newly promoted. Not only that, the Emperor and Empress also announced that the recruitment of heavenly soldiers and generals will begin to expand.

With this expansion, the total number of heavenly soldiers and generals will reach the trillion level. With one hundred million as one army, there will be ten thousand teams of heavenly soldiers and generals. All of them have numbers, and each team must have at least three Taiyi leaders.

Those above the middle stage of Taiyi are commanders, and the two in the early stage of Taiyi are deputy commanders. This means that in the future, the military of Heaven will have at least 30,000 Taiyi Golden Immortals. It sounds impossible, but it is achievable for Heaven today.

Each expeditionary force was moving forward, and every hundred years, at least one Taiyi god and demon would surrender to the Heavenly Court. Although no Golden Immortal had broken through to Taiyi so far, there were many Taiyi gods and demons that were conquered from the Taiyi universe.

The Heavenly Court does not have 30,000 Taiyi for the time being, nor even 10,000 Taiyi. But as time goes on, the number of Taiyi will naturally increase, and there will be no problem in using them to command troops, which will also be a deterrent to the outside world.

Not to mention the Heavenly Court, even other immortals are very confident about the number of 10,000 Taiyi, but they feel it is very exaggerated for the Heavenly Court to expand its recruitment of 1 trillion heavenly soldiers and generals. However, someone on the Tianwang has put up the data.

According to past practice, every universe that surrendered had to have a garrison. Heavenly soldiers and generals were simply not enough, so star gods, their personal guards, and immortal officials had to be used for assistance. Therefore, one trillion heavenly soldiers and generals were not too many at all.

The problem now is that there may not be so many celestial beings. Most of them like to explore the universe or become disciples of schools. There are too few celestial beings who want to join the military and become heavenly soldiers and generals.

What's more, Immortal Master Mo Hen is in charge of the military and has made changes to the heavenly soldiers and generals. After becoming a heavenly soldier or general, while enjoying high welfare, it will be difficult for them to voluntarily withdraw in the future unless they pay a sum of merit.

Such a regulation discourages many celestial beings, and this rule has not been changed until now, so this expansion has also encountered some difficulties, but the good news is that celestial beings from the multiverse are willing to join the Heavenly Court.

Imperial garden and ship.

It was rare for Immortal Master Mo Hen to come to the Imperial Garden. Seeing Su Qinghuang here, he didn't say anything polite and flew over directly and landed next to Su Qinghuang.

"Are you not going to get off the boat?" Immortal Mo Hen asked with a smile.

"You don't understand," Su Qinghuang smiled, "The building ship has a special meaning to me. If Qingqing hadn't followed You Wanli, I would have been happy to stay here."

"I have heard of the story between you and the Emperor." Immortal Mohen nodded slightly, and then said, "It's strange, after achieving Taiyi and becoming a perfect Dao Fruit, why can you still maintain your love for the Emperor? Don't you feel bored?"

"I have to ask you this," Su Qinghuang said softly, "Do you think you stayed here purely for yourself, or for the Emperor? Do you think you really love him, or is it for the benefit? Once you figure it out, you will understand."

"I'm too lazy to think about it," Immortal Mohen curled his lips, "I'm almost annoyed by them. A group of people want me to lift the restrictions and let me convince you. How can they be so arrogant? After all, I'm an Immortal!"

"They are quite shameless, and the key is that you are too kind." The Queen said, "If you can be like Chu Wuxia, they will not dare to disturb you. It is because you did not handle things impartially that they thought they had a chance to let you persuade me. You are still a little immature in this regard."

"I just took care of the people of the Mohen Universe a little bit," Mohen Immortal Venerable said helplessly, "They have suffered too much these years. This time I got the innate energy given by the Emperor, and the Mohen Universe is constantly recovering, so I have to compensate them."

"But you sealed off the Mohen Universe and prevented the immortals from entering it," the Empress said helplessly, "You kept all the benefits for your own people. The people in the Heavenly Court must be dissatisfied. If you were not the Immortal Lord, they would have caused trouble a long time ago."

"It's my own universe, so of course I have to give the benefits to my own immortals," Immortal Master Mohen said, "Not only do they come to take advantage, but they also say irresponsible things. Moreover, I have the permission of the Emperor, and the Mohen Universe itself is still mine."

"If it weren't for this, I would have issued an order long ago." Su Qinghuang smiled, "Didn't the major immortal sects and Taoist sects make trouble? They just wanted to make you feel guilty so that you would come to me. Obviously they succeeded, and you are here now."

Immortal Master Mo Hen's face suddenly turned red and he laughed awkwardly.

Of course she understood this truth. The key point was that she had to come whether she wanted to or not. "Do we really want to develop professional heavenly soldiers and generals? I think..."

"Don't even think about it," the Empress said calmly, "It has to be a professional job. You can quit, but you have to buy it out with your own merits. In the future, Heaven will not be responsible. This is all set and cannot be changed. If Heaven changes its mind every day, where will its dignity come from?"

"Okay!

"Immortal Mohen snorted, "Anyway, I completed the task."

"The military needs to train the immortals from the multiverse. They need more training." The emperor and empress said, "As long as the immortals from the multiverse are not from the newborn universe, they can be recruited, but those from the newborn universe are definitely not allowed."

"I know." Immortal Mo Hen nodded.

The immortals in the newborn universe cannot be considered true immortals because they have not broken through the dimension, unless a golden immortal emerges and the newborn universe is promoted to a golden immortal universe. At that time, the celestial immortals can directly join the heavenly court.

This is the law of the multiverse. The Golden Immortal is also the boundary set by the Emperor. Only the Golden Immortal can be immortal and can drive the creation of the universe. The Emperor and Empress are clear about this, and Immortal Mo Hen also understands it.

Immortal Venerable Mo Hen stayed for a while and then left. In fact, the small court meeting had just ended not long ago, and Immortal Venerable Mo Hen took this opportunity to come over and try to persuade them. Mainly, she also wanted to arrange for the immortals from her own universe to join the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Since it concerns his own interests, Immortal Mo Hen is willing to be persuaded by others. According to the current heavenly rules, once the immortals of the Mo Hen Universe join the military and become heavenly soldiers and generals, the benefits are indeed very high, but they cannot return to the Mo Hen Universe freely.

Being a heavenly soldier or general is not a matter of hundreds or thousands of years, but a permanent position, unless they are unable to make any progress and their lifespan is about to end. In this case, heaven can provide a choice, and that is for the heavenly soldiers or generals to use their merits to exchange for the opportunity to reincarnate.

If one wants to leave the ranks of the heavenly soldiers and generals, one needs to buy out the merits by oneself. Calculated based on the number of years one has been a member of the heavenly soldiers and generals, that is also a considerable amount of merit. Immortals value selfishness and like to be free, so naturally they don't want to be confined in the ranks of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Immortal Master Mo Hen was even more unwilling. After all, the Mo Hen Universe still needed his own men to rule it. It would be even better if a few Golden Immortals could come out. He could completely mobilize them to be the governors of the Mo Hen Universe. Unfortunately, the Emperor and Empress would not give in.

After the news that Immortal Master Mo Hen had returned empty-handed spread, all the families stopped their efforts. Everyone understood that if Immortal Master Mo Hen couldn't do it, they naturally couldn't do it either, so there was no need to worry about it too much.

The Eight Wildernesses have been in existence for 36,200 years, and the number of heavenly soldiers and generals at this time has not reached one trillion, but the Heavenly Court has taken a new action. The immortal officials have launched a welfare list for the heavenly soldiers and generals in the surrendered universe, and began to recruit immortals from the surrendered universe.

There are too many universes surrendering to each other, and there are always some immortals who are tempted. If they do not join the heavenly soldiers and generals, what awaits them is to ascend to the Eight Desolate Universe first, stay in the ascension platform and the ascension pool for a while, confirm their immortal status, and then return to their own universe.

The immortals in the Daluo Universe are fine, at least they have the popular Daluo membership. However, the immortals in the Golden Immortal Universe are miserable, with the third-class Golden Immortal Universe membership, and do not have the benefits of the academy mall. The Eight Desolate Academy is only open to the True Immortals who have surrendered.

All the True Immortals who have surrendered to the universe can join the academy for free and receive the benefits of the academy nearby. However, if celestial immortals want to join the academy, they need to take an assessment and pay a sum of resources. Even if they enter the academy, they still need to pass the assessment to be determined as a disciple. It is not that there are no celestial immortals who have been determined as True Immortal disciples.

Joining the Heavenly Court as a celestial soldier or general offers many opportunities and generous benefits. This is a great opportunity for the celestial beings in the Golden Immortal Universe and the Taiyi Universe. It can even change one's destiny, so many celestial beings choose to join.

It was also this year that the military of Heaven welcomed a wave of enthusiasm for becoming celestial soldiers and generals. Heaven promised these celestial beings who returned to the universe that once they became celestial soldiers and generals, they would immediately obtain celestial status. If they used merit points to buy out and withdraw from the celestial soldiers and generals, their status would still be celestial. Because of this, many celestial beings who returned to the universe were tempted.

The Heavenly Court actually used immortal officials to recruit celestial beings. This move really surprised many immortals, but the effect was really good. In just fifty years, the Heavenly Court actually recruited one trillion celestial soldiers and generals.

However, after the goal was achieved, the Heavenly Court did not stop and continued to recruit celestial beings and continuously increase the number of heavenly soldiers and generals. There were even golden immortals who had returned to the universe and chose to surrender and join the Heavenly Court.

"I think I understand."

"What?"

"The Emperor and Empress sent out the Golden Immortals of the Eight Desolate Universes and brought back the Immortals who had returned to the universe. The benefits brought by this sending and welcoming were simply exaggerated."

"You're exaggerating."

"The Empress is so powerful!"

"The most difficult one is the Immortal Sect and the Taoist Sect. They can't beat the Emperor and Empress at all!"

On Tianwang, immortals continued to discuss this matter, and the conclusions they reached made Sect Master Tiange blush. However, one thing was true: the Taoist sects were no match for the Emperor and Empress, and their methods were truly amazing.

Like the expansion of the recruitment of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals this time, although they are only immortals who have surrendered to the universe, it is precisely because of the increase in the number of immortals who have surrendered to the universe that the number of immortals belonging to the Taoist sects among the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals has decreased in disguise.

The total number has increased, but the number of immortals from the Xianmen Taoist sect has remained unchanged, so naturally the proportion has decreased. In the past, among the heavenly soldiers and generals, the immortals from the Xianmen Taoist sect accounted for at most half of the number. This was after the Immortal Venerable Mo Hen reorganized and purified the heavenly soldiers and generals.

But now, with the increase in the number of heavenly soldiers and generals, the immortals among them are either from the surrendered universe or from the multiverse. The immortals of the Taoist sects do not want to be bound by the heavenly soldiers and generals, and those who can find connections have already used them to leave or transferred away.
