Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

When Qin An’s words fell, the whole room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Emperor Xuanwu’s face was filled with confusion as he asked, "You just said we should take the initiative to strike. What exactly does that mean? And how are we supposed to take the initiative?"

He found it a bit unbelievable. What did it mean to take the initiative—were they supposed to personally go over there and pick a fight with those Heavenly Demons?

But compared to leaving their own world now to go make trouble for the Heavenly Demons, their odds of winning were not great.

Right now they could still rely on the advantages of their native world to make solid defenses; that way they actually had a few chances of victory.

Seeing Emperor Xuanwu finish speaking, Qin An slowly opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, you should know what kind of outcome we’re facing right now. If that All-Annihilating Puppet absorbs enough resentment and advances to Perfection of the Selfless Realm, then in our world there won’t be a single person who can oppose it."

"Because compared to the Selfless Realm, our realms are worlds apart, so we must intercept and eliminate these enemies before the All-Annihilating Puppet absorbs enough resentment."

"Those people just now also said that this time the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor went alone, taking the All-Annihilating Puppet with him. If we can seize this opportunity to intercept the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor, and wipe out him and his All-Annihilating Puppet in one fell swoop, then perhaps we can reverse the situation."

At this point Qin An stopped speaking and did not continue.

He was waiting, because he had already said what needed to be said; all that was left was to wait for Emperor Xuanwu to make a decision.

This proposal looked extremely risky, you could even say it was a nine-lives-and-one-death kind of mission, but it really was the only way to resolve these matters for now.

As for the danger within, it was visible to the naked eye.

First, they had to be careful not to let those Heavenly Demons discover their movements. Otherwise, if those Heavenly Demons followed their trail over, even a god would find it hard to deal with.

Second, there was the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor and the All-Annihilating Puppet in his hand.

The Ancestral Mechanical Emperor himself was at the level of the Selfless Realm, and together with the All-Annihilating Puppet, even if the puppet had not yet absorbed enough resentment, at minimum it would also be at the Selfless Realm level.

So with these two dangers stacked together, it was basically giving people no way to survive.

After Emperor Xuanwu pondered for a long time, he finally spoke. "How many people are you planning to take? Or are you saying that this time you’ll be going alone?"

Qin An shook his head and said, "The opponent is a being of the Selfless Realm. Sending more people would be nothing but a waste; it’d be better to let them stay here and cultivate. I’ll go by myself. Of course, there’s another reason for doing so—to shed a lot of constraints."

When these words fell, Emperor Xuanwu sank into even deeper thought.

He actually knew that Qin An’s way was correct, but he understood even more clearly just how dangerous this was.

Not to mention anything else—if they let Qin An go alone and something happened to him over there, what were they supposed to do then?

After all, even if Qin An was the savior, he was not immortal.

Emperor Xuanwu remained silent, but he also knew that he seemed to have no other path to choose.

Just as Qin An had said, it was best to first make a trip to where the All-Annihilating Puppet was, deal with the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor and the All-Annihilating Puppet, and only then could they eliminate many looming crises.

After thinking for a long, long time, Emperor Xuanwu finally let out a heavy sigh.

"Very well, very well. Since you want to go, I have no reason to stop you. Only, on this journey you must be extremely careful. By no means allow yourself to run into overwhelming threats."

"If you encounter danger, come back at once. Even if we can’t destroy them, it doesn’t matter; we can still think of other ways."

He did not try to persuade him further, because he knew clearly that once Qin An made up his mind, there was no way to talk him out of it.

Moreover, with Qin An’s temperament, if they didn’t let him go, it might instead affect Qin An’s state of mind.

And in this matter, he couldn’t help anyway; all he could do was have Qin An be extra cautious on his own, avoid being discovered by people from other Celestial Demon Worlds, and prevent himself from falling there.

Qin An nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. In that case, I’ll first make a trip to the Sea of Hope. I still have some things I need to ask the Plague Emperor."

With his current realm, making a trip to the Sea of Hope actually wouldn’t take much time.

After all, he was now in the Selfless Realm, able to wield the power to analyze heaven and earth, which shortened the journey by an enormous margin.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said, "All right. Be safe along the way."

Qin An nodded again. He did not waste any more words; then he circulated the Void Essence in his body and vanished from the Imperial Study.

Emperor Xuanwu, meanwhile, stared at the empty desk and fell into thought.

After pondering for a moment, he finally took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Attend me!"

Several figures appeared from the dark shadows.

As soon as these figures emerged, they bowed respectfully.

Emperor Xuanwu spoke slowly, "Summon all the Cultivators of our world who have reached the Celestial Human Realm, including those from the broken worlds. Qin An is risking his life for this world; I must gamble once as well."

A thought had surfaced in his heart, but he still needed to carry it out.

Those few figures paused for a moment, then immediately answered respectfully, and disappeared from the Imperial Study.

They were all Emperor Xuanwu’s close attendants, so they knew that if he was summoning so many people, it definitely meant something extremely important. None of them dared show the slightest negligence.

Very soon, only Emperor Xuanwu was left in the Imperial Study.
