the news that the army in the middle had discovered a resource-rich great luo universe could not be hidden. the various immortal sects and dao sects were all working on it. they wanted to teleport over and get a share of the loot. of course, before that, they had to test the empress's intentions.
empress su qingluan didn't stand on ceremony. from that day on, she directly took the taiyi universe and the great luo universe as the heavenly court's property. immortal sects and daoist sects were not allowed to interfere at will. only golden immortal universes could fight for them.
Of course, it was not absolutely impossible. Several conditions had to be met. First, this great Luo universe or Taiyi universe had to have the help of the immortal Daoist sect. Second, the immortal Daoist sect had to pay a generous amount of merit. Third, it had to be permitted by the heavenly court.
in this way, the expeditionary army was very important. if there were no golden immortals and primordial immortals of the allheaven immortal sect in the expeditionary warships of the middle army, the allheaven immortal sect would not be qualified to interfere even if the expeditionary army took down the primordial immortal or the great luo universe.
If one didn't have enough merit, they wouldn't be able to interfere even if the first condition was fulfilled. Of course, the most important condition was the third condition. It was very magical for the heavenly court to allow this condition. Simply put, this was a problem with the attitude of the celestial Empress.
even though everyone was criticizing this in their hearts, they didn't say anything. no one inside or outside the heavenly court dared to oppose the empress's decision. furthermore, the empress's decision gave the immortal sects and dao sects a chance.
On the Expeditionary fleet's battleship, especially the Army in the middle, they were all Immortals from the eight desolate universes. There were not many celestial soldiers and celestial generals. They did not even need to leave the battleship. As long as they participated, they would be able to meet the first condition.
The second and third conditions would depend on the game between the immortal sects and Daoist sects. Top-notch sects like the allheaven immortal sect, Luofu sect, and the ten great immortal sects would definitely seize the opportunity. It would be a little difficult for the other immortal sects and Daoist sects to catch up.
Even so, they were still much stronger than other Immortals with no background or Immortals of small forces. Therefore, they had no objection to the heavenly court's management of the Taiyi universe and the great Luo universe.
On the Skynet, many Immortals were complaining about the overbearing nature of the heavenly court, but they also participated in the discussion. They said that these universes belonged to the heavenly court and that even the Golden immortal universes did not belong to any immortal sects or Daoist sects.
If not for the heavenly court's mercy, the immortal sects and Daoist sects would not have been able to participate and obtain any benefits. After all, the universe that had submitted to the heavenly court belonged to it, and the heavenly court was only mobilizing the immortal sects to help develop the Golden immortal universe.
as of year 36000 of the eight barren calendar, the number of great luo universes that had submitted to the heavenly court had reached 48, the number of primordial universes had reached 180, and the number of new primordial gods and devils that had submitted to the heavenly court had reached 76.
the immortals who paid attention to the heaven would know that the number of primordial unity gods and devils in the heaven had increased, and these were all those who had pledged their loyalty to the emperor and empress. although they did not hold high positions, they had real power and great influence in the heaven.
Because of their appearance and the establishment of the octoterra Academy, the space for the celestial sects and Daoist sects to live was directly reduced. The influence of the celestial sects and Daoist sects was further weakened, and the heavenly court became the only place that the immortals yearned for.
in this year's court assembly, the empress followed the usual practice of rewarding first before punishing. after that, she demanded that all immortals above the golden immortal realm must leave the eight desolate universe and head to the golden immortal universe to oversee it. every standard golden immortal universe and above must have three golden immortal envoys.
all the golden immortal universes that had been recorded by the heavenly court and appeared in the universe illustrations would welcome new guardians. they would be rotated and replaced. not only that, but the celestial empress also announced that the heavenly troops and generals would begin to recruit.
For this recruitment, the total number of heavenly soldiers and generals had to reach a trillion. With one hundred million as an Army, that would be ten thousand teams of heavenly soldiers and generals, all of which had designations, and each team had to be led by at least three primordial experts.
the commanders were at the middle stage of primordial unity and above, and the two at the early stage of primordial unity were deputy commanders. this meant that the future military department of the heavenly court would have at least 30000 primordial unity gold immortals. it might sound impossible, but it was possible for the current heavenly court.
every hundred years, at least one primordial unity god would submit to the heaven. although no gold immortal had broken through to the primordial realm so far, there were still many primordial unity gods and devils from conquering the primordial universe.
for the time being, the heavenly court did not have 30000 or even 10000 primordial experts. but as time passed, the number of primordial experts would increase, and they would have no problem commanding troops, which would serve as a deterrent to the outside world.
Not to mention the heavenly court, even the other Immortals were very confident in the number of 10000 grand unity Immortals, but they felt that it was an exaggeration to say that the heavenly court had recruited a trillion more heavenly soldiers and generals. However, someone on the heavenly net had put out the data.
according to past practice, even those who submitted to the universe had to station troops, and the celestial soldiers and celestial generals were not enough. they had to use the star gods and their guards, as well as immortal officials, to assist them. therefore, a trillion celestial soldiers and celestial generals were not a lot at all.
The problem now was that there might not be that many celestial Immortals. Most celestial Immortals liked to explore the universe field or become disciples of the Academy. There were too few celestial Immortals who wanted to join the military and become celestial soldiers and celestial generals.
What's more, venerable ink scar was in charge of the military department and had made changes to the heavenly soldiers and generals. After becoming a heavenly soldier, they would enjoy high benefits and it would be difficult for them to withdraw in the future unless they paid a sum of merit.
Such a rule had made many celestial Immortals flinch, but this rule had not been changed so far. Therefore, the expansion this time had encountered some difficulties, but the good news was that the celestial Immortals of the multiverse were willing to join the heavenly court.
