“I still prefer how you look with a bald head.”
“…”
“Why don’t you shave it off?”
“…”
“Actually, you also look quite nice with hair. I like both.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao was truly on the verge of collapse. Ever since meeting the Rose Empress, she had been obsessing over his hair nonstop.
Big sister!
If you’re sick, go see a doctor!
The Rose Empress smiled and said, “I believed you would come to the battlefield to visit me, so I waited at your stronghold every day. Sure enough, I guessed correctly.”
Her words carried a hint of pride, and seemed almost like acting spoiled in front of her man—utterly different from her usual noble and decisive strong-woman persona.
However, while she had guessed correctly about him coming to the planar battlefield, she had guessed wrong about the reason.
Jun Changxiao hadn’t come to visit this wife who existed in name only, but rather to use the battlefield platform to promote the Eternal Evil-Punishing Decree.
“Oh right!”
He suddenly remembered something very important, so he said seriously and solemnly, “I destroyed the Star Fortress and replaced it. From today on, your Soul Clan Continent must stop invading other planes.”
The Rose Empress was startled and said, “You destroyed the Star Fortress?”
Having campaigned externally for many years, she had naturally heard of that organization that even the Mortal Dust Planes greatly feared, and she’d heard it had connections to the Upper Realm.
Jun Changxiao raised his head arrogantly and said, “Destroying one Star Fortress is as easy as turning over my hand—please don’t be surprised.”
The System said, “How can he be so good at showing off?”
“I’m not surprised at all.”
The Rose Empress said with a straight face, “I’m just a bit surprised that my husband would take precious time to destroy such an insignificant Star Fortress.”
The System said, “The host shows off, his wife plays along—this truly is a perfect match!”
Jun Changxiao then said, “I’ve established the Eternal Evil-Punishing Decree. Any violators will be subject to sanction by the Eternal Sect, so I hope you’ll conduct yourself well and stop invading other planes.”
Due to their racial innate abilities, the Soul Clan Continent’s favorite activity was infiltrating other planes and then seizing the opportunity to plunder martial resources.
Since Jun Changxiao wanted to control the Mortal Dust Universe, he definitely couldn’t allow similar situations to continue. Moreover, even though he didn’t want to admit it, the outside world all knew that woman was his wife—if he didn’t restrict her, his fairness and impartiality would definitely be questioned.
“Alright.”
The Rose Empress smiled and said, “I listen to my husband.”
“I’m seriously talking to you here!”
“I’m also very serious.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao roared, “Then can you please take your eyes off my hair while talking, and can you stop constantly wanting to reach up and tug at it!”
“Fine.”
The Rose Empress looked at him and said, “My Soul Clan Continent has a harsh environment and limited resources. If we don’t search for them in other planes, we’ll eventually become dust beneath history.”
“That’s not a reason for you to plunder wantonly.” Jun Changxiao said, “A poor environment can be changed, scarce resources can be cultivated.”
“How do we change it? How do we cultivate them?”
Getting down to serious business, the Rose Empress became earnest, a trace of bitterness appearing at the corners of her mouth.
If she could choose, who would enjoy constantly campaigning everywhere? But bearing the fate of an entire race meant that after inheriting the throne, she had no choice but to struggle.
Jun Changxiao said, “Solutions are thought up, not asked for.”
“Husband, help me think of something.”
The Rose Empress truly couldn’t think of a solution, but she deeply believed Jun Changxiao could definitely help her. After all, he had once used the divine artifact’s supreme treasure to connect the fractured Soul Clan Continent.
“We’ll talk about it later.”
Jun Changxiao said, “I still have important business to handle.”
The so-called changing the environment and cultivating resources was just something he said casually—he definitely didn’t have any good solutions either.
“There is one!”
The System said, “In the shop!”
“Screw off.”
…
Jun Changxiao needed to widely announce the Eternal Evil-Punishing Decree, so that very day he went to the Lingyuan Continent to find Ke Jinnan. After some discussion, the two decided to summon all the stronghold bosses in the battlefield by sending out invitations.
“Why is that guy here again!”
“This time he’s sending invitations—he’s not going to extort money again, is he!”
“Go, go, go! Hurry up and go—if we’re late, he’ll probably make trouble for us again!”
After the planar stronghold bosses received the hot-potato invitations, they immediately sprang into action. The experienced ones had already prepared martial resources in advance—if that guy really wanted to extort money, they could only give it. Otherwise, would they try to fight him head-on?
Whether Jun Changxiao could dominate the entire Mortal Dust Universe was still uncertain, but his domination of the entire planar battlefield was beyond doubt. After all, the several times he’d caused trouble here had all been earth-shaking events.
…
The next day.
Outside the Xingyun Continent stronghold, on the arena platform previously used for challenges, Jun Changxiao stood with his hands behind his back in formal attire, a warm smile spreading across his face.
Beside him, the Rose Empress also wore very formal clothing. Although her aura was strong, she kept it intentionally restrained and didn’t steal the spotlight.
Jun Changxiao transmitted in collapse, “Can you please go down?”
“I’m your wife—shouldn’t I stand beside you?” the Rose Empress said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao was about to speak when a planar boss cupped his fists and said, “Sect Master Jun, for what purpose have you summoned us all here?”
The stronghold bosses below all pricked up their ears.
“Ahem!”
Jun Changxiao cleared his throat and said loudly, “This Seat has invited all of you here for one thing, and that is…” At this point, he waved his hand and placed twelve Eternal Evil-Punishing Decrees on the table, saying, “To make you remember this object.”
“What is this?”
Everyone looked over, muttering to themselves—could it possibly be some kind of supreme treasure?
“This is the Eternal Evil-Punishing Decree, manufactured by my Eternal Sect. Its function is that any plane, any person in the Mortal Dust Universe who commits unforgivable crimes—once they receive this decree, they will face severe sanctions.” Jun Changxiao said.
The stronghold bosses were somewhat bewildered.
Could this be the rhythm of controlling the Mortal Dust Universe with tokens?
Would the Star Fortress agree to this?
All the stronghold bosses present had heard of that powerful organization representing law and order in their home planes, so when Jun Changxiao wanted to control the entire Mortal Dust Universe, they immediately thought of it.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Ke Jinnan said, “As far as I know, there’s a Star Fortress that has established many laws—violators are all imprisoned in the Nine-Layer Hell. If you do this, will they allow it?”
“There is no more Star Fortress in the Mortal Dust Universe, because it has already been destroyed by this Seat.” Jun Changxiao said indifferently.
“What?”
Ke Jinnan said, “The Star Fortress was destroyed by Sect Master Jun?”
From the worry that surfaced when asking the question to the shock that surfaced after learning the truth, the performance process was simply flawless—truly Dog Sheng’s golden partner in the planar battlefield!
The stronghold bosses were also completely stunned at this moment.
Except for City Lord Mo, they had all been inside the battlefield and hadn’t yet received news of the Fortress’s destruction. So suddenly hearing Jun Changxiao say this, their hearts naturally surged with tremendous waves!
The Star Fortress held the most supreme status in the Mortal Dust Universe. Now that it had been destroyed by the Eternal Sect Master, then… he truly had the qualifications to replace it!
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Please inform your home planes and widely announce the matter of the Eternal Evil-Punishing Decree.”
The stronghold bosses understood at this point—the other party had summoned everyone this time not to find ways to extort money, but to have them spread the word.
That’s good, that’s good!
The stone weighing on everyone’s hearts finally fell, and they all expressed their willingness to spread word of the Eternal Evil-Punishing Decree.
“Since that’s the case, you’re all dismissed.”
“We take our leave!”
After the powerful figures from various planes departed, they all sighed inwardly: “For once, we managed to return safely from the Xingyun Continent stronghold without losing money!”
