Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Just after stepping out, Qin An encountered Yu Zhanlin again.

Yu Zhanlin had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qin An come out, he immediately approached and accompanied Qin An to disappear at the end of the passage, leading him to an ancient, worn-out room to stay temporarily.

Due to Qin An’s prior display of dominance, Yu Zhanlin didn’t say much and quickly left in haste.

After Yu Zhanlin departed, Qin An sat on the bed and rested for a while.

...

At this moment, in a mysterious space far from the border, Emperor Tianwu sat on the throne, his fingers slightly tightening around the armrest.

Cracks appeared on the throne, indicating Emperor Tianwu’s foul mood.

"It failed!"

He hadn’t anticipated that over a hundred assassins at Unity Realm Perfection would fail in their attempt to assassinate Qin An. Instead, Qin An obliterated them all single-handedly.

This incredible turn of events made Emperor Tianwu feel extremely uncomfortable.

This wasn’t a trivial number, even for the previous dynasty. Over a hundred at Unity Realm Perfection was indeed a very precious number.

Below, numerous Demon Pseudo-Gods knelt on the ground, not daring to irritate Emperor Tianwu.

Nearby, a young man in fine clothes stood below, with a hint of contemplation in his expression.

Emperor Tianwu withdrew his gaze, suppressed his anger, and then glanced at the young man: "Ouyang, do you have anything to say?"

The young man named Ouyang quickly raised his head, clasped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the Dark Moon Hall suffered heavy losses this time, but it’s not their fault."

"Honestly, even if it were replaced by anyone else, no one could have imagined that Qin An would go from initial Unity Realm to Great Success Realm in just a few months."

Upon hearing these words, many secretly nodded.

Their plan was flawless this time; there was no room for criticism.

Even if Qin An was only at Unity Realm Small Success, he should have been left dead there.

Yet no one had thought Qin An would be at Unity Realm Great Success.

In such a short few months, even the most exceptional talent couldn’t possibly reach Unity Realm Great Success.

But Qin An achieved it, something unfathomable to anyone.

Emperor Tianwu slammed the armrest and angrily shouted: "It’s not about blaming anyone. This was my own decision. If blame is to be assigned, then blame me!"

Ouyang quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty worries too much. I have no intention of blaming Your Majesty. Any decision made by Your Majesty is correct."

The others remained silent, letting the young man named Ouyang converse with Emperor Tianwu about Qin An.

Everyone knew Ouyang was a person of significant influence among the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Back then, the so-called remnants of the previous dynasty, escaping Daqian Kingdom’s pursuit, were actually prestigious families from the capital, immensely powerful.

Every family had enough strength to rival top forces.

The young man named Ouyang belonged to the Ou Family.

He bore the single surname "Ou" and given name "Yang".

The Ou Family was among the five great families of the previous dynasty. To preserve their prowess during the war, they followed Emperor Tianwu, with those at the Manifest Saint Realm desperately resisting Daqian Kingdom.

Today, there’s no one of Manifest Saint Realm in the Ou Family, making them weak among these powerful families, yet no one dared to speak up.

Because Ouyang possesses a precious treasure of the Ou Family, ensuring their strength even in such circumstances.

Now, with Emperor Tianwu suddenly questioning Ouyang, everyone speculated he might want Ouyang to use that family treasure.

Seeing no one speaking, Emperor Tianwu’s tone grew heavier: "I know you are all worried about the next steps. Though the border is guarded heavily, many martial world forces have come from afar to join us."

"Our current strength is slightly weaker than the border’s. But if the rest of Daqian Kingdom can’t deploy troops, now is the time for us to attack the border!"

Upon hearing this, everyone displayed looks of astonishment.

Attacking the border isn’t a simple decision; any mistake could lead to a complete failure.

Because Marshal Liu, sitting at the border, is a top-tier figure in Daqian Kingdom.

The border is well-fortified; this battle can’t be won easily.

Emperor Tianwu’s smile turned cold, noticing everyone’s expressions: "I know your thoughts. You’re concerned about losing, even dying in vain."

"But time is running out for me and for you. Once I establish my kingdom, the final conflict approaches. If I don’t seize this opportunity for a full-scale counterattack, cooperating with those traitors from the Forbidden Area, Emperor Xuanwu will retaliate and thoroughly wipe me out."

"By then, resistance will be futile."

Speaking here, Emperor Tianwu fell silent, awaiting everyone’s realization.

After pondering briefly, the remnants of the previous dynasty nodded, clasping their hands towards Emperor Tianwu: "We follow Your Majesty’s will!"

They said no more, for they knew Emperor Tianwu’s words were true.

There were no other options, only this method could find the possibility of victory.

Emperor Tianwu shifted his gaze towards Ouyang, speaking: "Your family possesses a treasure, the Life and Death Realm Pearl. It’s time to hand it over to me."

Ouyang’s expression changed suddenly, falling silent.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ouyang, eyes flashing complicated emotions.

What is the Life and Death Realm Pearl?

It allows one to experience unparalleled senses of life and death within the pearl, providing a qualitative boost.

They knew Emperor Tianwu’s intentions.

Emperor Tianwu is already at Manifest Saint Realm Perfection, but there’s a gap to the highest level.

The Life and Death Realm Pearl might unlock life and death’s mysteries, reaching the pinnacle.

If successful, they might indeed capture the border.

Ouyang raised his head: "Your Majesty, you know I possess the Life and Death Realm Pearl, but why choose now? Why not try breaking through before?"

Everyone else wore similar expressions.

Since everyone knew Ouyang possessed the Life and Death Realm Pearl.

Why did Emperor Tianwu choose this moment to ask for it?

They asked without ulterior motive, only expressing their doubts.

Emperor Tianwu’s gaze turned icy, speaking softly: "Previously, there was no assurance, but now there is. The Tiger Demon brought the Universal Extermination Array and gifted me a sword."

"I might uncover the mysteries of life and death, reaching the ultimate realm with this sword and the array."

"It’s a grand gamble; I can’t afford failure. Now, I can elevate all hopes to the highest. I’m ready to attempt it. If it succeeds, I’ll have ultimate assurance."

In this era, relying on anyone else is impossible; Emperor Tianwu understood it only depended on himself.

Thus, he must seize this opportunity.

Without delay, Ouyang took out a spherical pearl and handed it to Emperor Tianwu.

The pearl appeared ordinary, similar to regular pearls.

Emperor Tianwu seriously received it, placing it in his bosom, then looked at everyone.

"Qin An is very dangerous, but he’s at the border, unattainable."

"We’ve lost some, but it doesn’t matter. From now on, withdraw and stay put, avoid causing trouble."

"When I act, it’ll be the moment to conquer the border."
