"People from the Heavenly Rainbow Sect have arrived."


    Upon hearing this news, Chu Yuan wasn''t surprised at all. The Heavenly Rainbow Sect had no choice but to submit; if the Celestial God attempted to flee, the massive army would rapidly surge forward.


    He gave the Heavenly Rainbow Sect a chance to live, and indeed, he was not let down.


    "Let them pay their respects here," Chu Yuan ordered.


    All the powerhouse figures of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect above the Void God Realm had arrived at the Imperial City, and they were now waiting outside the city.


    As they were staring at the towering Imperial City and the strong national fate that seemed to envelope the entire nation, some of them felt a little apprehensive.


    Although they knew that the Martial Emperor would not launch a massacre against those who surrendered voluntarily, they were still uneasy about their future.


    The Celestial God of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect also shook his head with a bitter smile; he, a highly respected god, had fallen to such a pitiful state.


    "The mighty figures of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect, His Majesty summoned you to pay your respects. Follow me," Eunuch Wei said as he appeared.


    With the skyrocketing national fate of Dawu and the assistance of elixirs, Eunuch Wei, who had served the previous emperor since the founding of Dawu, had also reached the Void God Realm.


    The powerhouses of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect followed him, but they noticed that they were not heading towards the Royal Palace. They cautiously asked, "Eunuch, it seems we are heading in the wrong direction?"


    Although the eunuch before them was merely in the Void God Realm, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect still asked cautiously. He didn''t dare to speak loudly and even added a touch of flattery in his tone.


    Those who could issue decrees were close to His Majesty, so he didn''t dare to offend them.


    "A good question. His Majesty is not in the palace. Just follow me. You will see His Majesty. His mood is quite good right now," Eunuch Wei said.


    It was beyond Eunuch Wei''s imagination that a Sect Master, a celestial existence, would show courtesy to him. He felt as though he was in a dream.


    Thinking back to the past, the current situation was completely different.


    He wasn''t arrogant, knowing well that he was simply the most loyal servant of His Majesty.


    All of this was granted to him by His Majesty.


    The folks from the Heavenly Rainbow Sect didn''t dare to ask any more questions, and they simply followed Eunuch Wei.


    In a short while, they arrived at the Divine Punishment Army''s camp. They saw a figure there, standing with his back to them. Though he was still, he exuded a domineering aura as if he was standing amidst the vastness of the universe.


    He was gazing intently forward.


    The Martial Emperor of Dawu!


    This was the first time the Celestial God of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect had seen him up close.


    It was this opponent, whom he had never met before, who with a mere wave of his hand, could annihilate the Heavenly Rainbow Sect.


    He had a feeling that with just a wave of his hand, this emperor could dictate life and death.


    The Celestial God of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect was taken aback. He had thought that this emperor would imprison him.


    "The Divine Army needs powerful beings, and you will be included in my Divine Army and follow my orders."


    Chu Yuan was not planning on incorporating all the Celestial Gods of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect into the Divine Army. Some were still needed to hold down the Heavenly Rainbow Realm, while others were scattered and incorporated into other armies.


    "Your Majesty, are you planning to keep me under your control?"


    Being of such an existence, the Celestial God of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect could surely comprehend the Emperor''s thoughts.


    The Divine Army was Dawu''s most powerful troop, with no commander. If there had to be a commander, it would be the current Dawu Emperor.


    Including him in the Divine Army meant that he would be directly controlled by Chu Yuan.


    With their Sect Master being controlled, would other people dare to harbor other thoughts?


    "By your command, Your Majesty!"


    Although he thought so, he didn''t dare to say it out loud, and he respectfully said, "Your Majesty, this contains the treasures amassed by the Heavenly Rainbow Sect over countless years. Many of these resources will be useful to the empire, and I hereby present them to the Imperial Dynasty as a gift today!"


    He took out a spatial divine object and presented it to Chu Yuan.


    Chu Yuan casually used his divine sense to inspect it, finding quite a few items inside, many of which could be used to forge divine artifacts.


    "You don''t have to present the divine artifacts on your persons. What I lack are the resources needed by the various armies."


    Chu Yuan was quite gracious towards those who willingly surrendered.


    "Your Majesty, I''ve recorded all the locations where divine veins and minerals are produced in the Heavenly Rainbow Realm here. You may dispatch people to mine at any time. Moreover, we have found several dead stars suitable for mining in the outer universe."


    The Celestial God of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect was very honest, providing Chu Yuan with a full report of the situation in the Heavenly Rainbow Realm.


    Chu Yuan nodded. The Heavenly Rainbow Sect had eight Celestial Gods and could mine resources in the universe.


    Chu Yuan was also doing the same. Once the Skybreaking Warship was built, he could dispatch people to find resources in the universe.


    "You may leave now. The Military Supplies Department will register your names and assign you resources. If you prove loyal to Dawu, I will treat you kindly. We are all intelligent people, and some things don''t need to be said outright," Chu Yuan waved his hand.


    "Yes!"


    The Celestial God of the Heavenly Rainbow Sect and the others withdrew.


    Although Chu Yuan''s demeanor was calm, the backs of their clothes were soaked in cold sweat.


    Each of His Majesty''s words had a force that pierced their hearts and souls, leaving them trembling with fear.


    Now that they''d personally set foot in Dawu''s Imperial City, they dared not entertain any other thoughts.
