Chapter 1279: God-King Ruthless

“An emissary is here to see me? To bless me?” Yang Qi’s heart was starting to pound . Whoever this emissary was, they would definitely be an important person . And if they planned to bless him with power, it was going to be something dramatic . Dream Daylily was a Consummate God, so if she treated this emissary as more important than her, they were definitely a Perfect God at the least .

“The emissary is one of the crown prince’s valiant generals,” Dream Daylily said . “God-King Ruthless . He’s a Perfect God, so make sure to be extremely respectful, alright? You absolutely, positively must not do anything out of line . If you do, I won’t have any way to help you out . ”

“Got it,” Yang Qi said, and he meant it . There was no question that Perfect Gods were incredibly powerful, and he knew he wasn’t in the position to defy one .

That said, not even a Perfect God would have any way to pick up on the truth about him . So as long as he was careful, he would be fine .

With that, Dream Daylily led Yang Qi into another room .

He immediately felt the atmosphere turn extremely tense . The air seemed to fill with a ruthless feeling, as though he were entering the presence of a despotic tyrant .

He saw a middle-aged man clad in a suit of armor, with an aquiline nose and glowing green eyes . He had long, bushy sideburns, and seemed like the picture of a mighty warrior, a ruthless person who had killed too many people to ever count . It was even possible to see souls drifting around his person, and he pulsed with the rancorous energy of his uncountable victims .

Yang Qi instantly realized that even if all of the Consummate Gods in the House of God Ordainment teamed up, they would be killed by this man . Of course, the House of God Ordainment had secret reserve powers that would likely enable them to fight someone like this .

“Greetings, God-King Ruthless,” Dream Daylily said .

Yang Qi dropped to his knees to kowtow . “Your humble servant offers greetings, oh exalted God-King . Congratulations on your Unbounded will; I'm sure that you’ll become a Paramount very soon!”

This person was so incredibly powerful that the slightest slip-up on his part would lead to a huge disaster . Normally speaking, he would never even have a chance to associate with someone like this; he was only able to now because of what had been happening with the Sage Monarch Society .

Of course, Yang Qi had hidden his true nature from the Lord of the True Void, so doing the same for God-King Ruthless wasn’t anything too difficult .

“Well spoken, boy,” God-King Ruthless said . Even as he just stood there, his armor clinked as though he was prepared to start fighting at any moment .

“Exalted God-King Ruthless, this is Jadefall’s most trusted adviser, and he's also a member of the Crown Prince Society . He's done much for our society since joining, and has recruited a lot of new members . Thanks to him, we have quite a bit of influence in the House of God Ordainment now . ” Dream Daylily was talking Yang Qi up, in part to highlight her own accomplishments, considering she had recruited him .

“I’m well aware of everything he's done,” God-King Ruthless said . “There's no need for you to embellish matters . You have a lot of important tasks at hand . For example, turning the Sage Monarch Society into a part of the Crown Prince Society, like a cicada sloughing its skin . What do you say?”

“That’s what we’ve been planning to do,” Dream Daylily replied . “That said, it's not going to be easy . As you can see, Yang Qi isn’t exactly very strong . . . . ”

“That’s exactly what I'm worried about,” God-King Ruthless said, a cold smile playing out on his face . “Come to me, I’ll provide a blessing of power . ”

“Many thanks, oh exalted God-King . ” Looking like the picture of gratitude, Yang Qi stepped forward . Of course, inwardly, his killing intent was swirling . He had worked hard to build the Sage Monarch Society, and to think that they wanted him to make it part of the Crown Prince Society was infuriating . Furthermore, it ensured that they would eventually meet the same fate as Dragon Floret .

He would take that piece of the Mahātmā Jade and make sure the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty suffered a grievous blow in the process .

“Let’s first see what potential you have,” said God-King Ruthless .

He reached his hand out and sent some godpower deep into Yang Qi, which was actually quite a painful process .

‘He’s so incredibly strong . Thankfully, I learned a lot from King Immortal-Slayer . If I hadn't, I might not have gotten through this situation safely . ’ Yang Qi simply endured the pain, using the Life-Death Void-Destruction Lightning to keep the God Legion Seal well-hidden . Furthermore, he also made his monarch godhood seem like the ordinary godhood of a Lesser God .

A moment later, God-King Ruthless nodded . “Not bad . You actually endured the intense pain of my Ruthless Soul Examination . Even Common Gods who experience that technique will often pass out, or even be reduced to a vegetative state . But you maintained clarity . You definitely deserve a blessing of power . ”

The pain vanished .

“Many thanks, exalted God-King!” Yang Qi said fawningly . “Your abilities are world-encompassing! You are a peerless hegemon of—”

“That’s enough,” said God-King Ruthless . “I'm not interested in empty platitudes, so cut it with the brown-nosing . I slaughtered my way to where I am now . I’ve commanded millions upon millions of troops in battle, and have sent so many heads rolling that nobody can count them . I only care about services performed on the battlefield, so if you want my support, you need to earn credit in battle!”

“Right . Credit in battle . I’ll definitely make sure the Sage Monarch Society becomes part of the Crown Prince Society, and that the entire House of God Ordainment falls under the control of the crown prince . I’ll go through hell and high water for the crown prince’s sake!”

“Very good,” God-King Ruthless said . “Although you’ve earned some merit points lately, they don't come close enough to pay for a meeting with me, much less a blessing of power . But the crown prince ordered this . He’s paying close attention to the House of God Ordainment, and he wants to see results! He even gave me some treasures you can use to recruit more members . We especially want Jadefall . As for that junior houselord, he’s refused the crown prince over and over again, so for that, he’ll die . ”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi thought, ‘This is really a dog-eat-dog situation . That said, it's good for me . They’re the sandpiper and the clam, whereas I'm the fisherman waiting to step in and catch both . ’

“How exactly do you plan to bless me, oh exalted God-King?” Yang Qi asked . “I've been stuck in a cultivation bottleneck recently, and am having trouble breaking through . It seems to be mostly related to my will convergence . ”

“Don’t concern yourself with that . That said, during the process of blessing, you need to be careful . I’ll draw on a spell formation of battle and slaughter, which will be used to imbue you with godpower, remold your body, and strengthen your psychic power . Because of the rapid speed involved, there could be side-effects . You have to reach the Consummate God level to continue your cultivation, otherwise you could explode . The crown prince gave me a medicinal pill to use . It's a Nation-Fate God Pill, one of the most valuable pills in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, which contains the destiny of the entire dynasty . You’re lucky to get something like this . ”

With that, he produced a medicinal pill .

It was the size of a fist, and red, making it reminiscent of the red dust of the mortal world . It seemed to contain blood, slaughter, benevolence, righteousness, enlightenment, law, tactics, trickery, and warfare . It was as if an entire nation had been combined into a single medicinal pill .

A Nation-Fate God Pill .

Yang Qi was inwardly shaken . He had never heard of any type of pill like this . Apparently, it took the destiny of a nation and put it in the form of a medicinal pill designed to boost the psyche and improve one’s power . It was an Unbounded god pill, and would obviously be extremely valuable .

He knew that he couldn’t assimilate that pill, but apparently, God-King Ruthless planned to use a spell formation to help him . There was no doubt it would cause serious side-effects .

“Exalted God-King,” said Dream Daylily, “Nation-Fate God Pills are very rare and powerful . Considering how weak Yang Qi’s cultivation base is, can he really consume it? I don’t think even I would dare to try . ”

God-King Ruthless looked at her coldly . “Obviously he can't . If he consumed this medicinal pill, there would be many harmful side-effects . The pill is just too strong . But with me to help, what does he have to be scared of? As long as he follows my instructions, I’ll take care of everything . The power of the crown prince can overcome any type of side-effect . Now remember, when I give you this medicinal pill, I’ll be using my spell formation at the same time . It will set up a permanent sealing mark within you that will make you impervious to any magical treasures or wretch arts . It will limit your actions, but at the same time, will improve your power to carry out slaughter . Can you deal with that?”

“I understand!” Yang Qi blurted . “Please, exalted God-King, do as you wish!”

“Very gutsy . I like you! You’re going to accomplish a lot in the future . ”

Waving his hand, he said, “Warfare Destiny Vortex!”

Then he grabbed Yang Qi, even as an enormous outpouring of killing intent surged around him .

“We can’t do this in the city, it would cause too much of a scene, and would surely attract the attention of the House of God Ordainment . I’ll take you to a distant aspect of space-time where I can set up the spell formation . It’s a place where I waged war over a hundred years ago, slaughtering countless experts that I then used to form an army of souls capable of unleashing endless killing energy . It will stimulate your psyche, but the process will be very dangerous . ”

With that, he vanished into the spatial tempests, taking Yang Qi with him .
