The Peerless Emperor

Watching his mysteriously approaching nephew, Yun Qingfeng had a strange look on his face, "It's a complete disaster. To put it simply, your grandfather's friend Lingtian has been driven out of Yuanling Commerce. We, this bunch of fellows, no longer have any ties with Yuanling Commerce."

"However, Uncle Lingtian still has his own influence and wealth. You could say he has split off from Yuanling Commerce."

"With that, Yuanling Commerce, one of the two major commerce guilds in the Central Domain, is in name only and no longer has its former powerful strength."

At this point, a great sigh could be seen on Yun Qingfeng's face, lamenting over how a fine big commerce guild had turned into its current state.

However, in Lin Qian's eyes, this situation was clearly a great opportunity.

"Tell me more, for instance, what kind of person is this Lingtian, and what exactly is his current situation? Is he feeling downhearted?" Lin Qian, pulling his uncle Yun Qingfeng, asked curiously and repeatedly.

"Ah, ah, ah, don't touch me..." Yun Qingfeng raised his right hand, ignited with flames, and looked at his nephew helplessly, "Don't touch me for now, kid. I'll explain it to you slowly."

Looking at the fearful gaze in Yun Qingfeng's eyes, Lin Qian also had an amused look on his face.

Seems like his uncle's constitution was really poor, unable to bear even this much pain.

Following that, Yun Qingfeng also began to speak slowly, detailing everything he knew to Lin Qian.

Although he didn't know why his nephew wanted such detailed information and for what purpose, it would be too big of a failure for him as an uncle not to fulfill even such a small request at their first meeting.

After listening to his uncle's description, Lin Qian also gained a clear understanding of the whole situation and its causes and effects.

The main characters of these reasons, of course, were his grandfather Yun Fan, the former president of Yuanling Commerce Lingtian, whom Grandfather Yun Fan had met when he left the Yun family tomake his own way and with whom he shared a bond forged through life-and-death experiences.

Even when Yuanling Commerce faced dangers and battles with Jinhua Commerce, it was with Yun Fan's help that Lingtian had been able to survive unscathed.

One could say that Yun Fan had a tremendous favor within Yuanling Commerce.

Therefore, regardless of the reason, both Lingtian and Yuanling Commerce had an obligation to shelter and assist his grandfather Yun Fan.

But the Yun family wasn't an easy target either, and they exerted tremendous pressure on Yuanling Commerce. That's why Jinhua Commerce and the Yun family had grown a bit closer.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Moreover, at that time, Yun Fan was severely injured and his fate was plagued with hardships. Yuanling Commerce really had no need to make such a fuss over such a ruined man, so they advocated abandoning him.

But the faction led by Lingtian believed that it was unkind and unjust to abandon Yun Fan, who once had a grace upon Yuanling Commerce. They strongly argued against doing such a thing.

The arguments were extremely fierce, and in the end, Lingtian led a fraction of his allies and announced their withdrawal from Yuanling Commerce, standing with Yun Fan through thick and thin.

"As a result, just after Lingtian left Yuanling Commerce, news came that Lin Qian, the heir to the Huaxia Empire from the ancient times, arrived in the Central Domain to campaign against the rebellious Yun family, claiming that his father Yun Fan was the true successor. Then there's that roller-coaster, extremely satisfying story," Yun Qingfeng looked at Lin Qian in front of him, the green flames on his body gradually fading, clicking his tongue, "Qianer, you've really made quite a commotion."

"Going public with a cause is necessary; if other powers intervene in the Central Domain without a justifiable reason and move against the Yun family, it will certainly create resentment in their hearts, which would complicate things," Lin Qian said with a furrowed brow. "I do not wish to provoke the emotions of other powers, causing them to prepare early and take action against the Huaxia Empire, or else unifying the Soul Martial Continent will be a stillborn dream."

Yun Qingfeng, who was also half-crouching in front of his nephew, hadn't straightened up when he stumbled and fell onto the ground, "Hey, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"No, Uncle, your nephew's mind is very clear," Lin Qian slowly stood up and reached out to pull his uncle, Yun Qingfeng, to his feet. "It's clear that the current situation of our Human Clan is far from its past glory. Hostile foreign tribes are watching us like tigers eyeing their prey, while we know nothing but infighting."

"These days, I've come to understand the affairs of the Central Domain. It's been nothing but strife and slaughter, selfishness, and self-interest, with all issues regarding the foreign tribes thrown onto the shoulders of the Yuan family, burdening them with the enormous responsibility of protecting the Human Clan."

"And the other powers in the Central Domain just hide behind, vying for authority and profit, focusing only on a handful of talented individuals, yet they fail to see the bigger picture, and are utterly ignorant."

"In this way, the Human Clan will only be destroyed by these people, and the Yuan family, too, will be dragged down to death. As such, it would be better to resolve this chaotic situation."

"I intend to unify the Soul Martial Continent, where all tribes live together in harmony, with no distinction between Human Clan or foreign tribes, only the Huaxia People, freeing ourselves from primitive and backward ways of life, and stepping into a civilization of advanced technology and cultivation."

Lin Qian became more and more impassioned as he spoke, his eyes radiating excitement, his body trembling with enthusiasm.

This feeling was like when he had first entered a game in his previous life, staring at the dark, towering technology tree, the vast territories in the game, waiting to cultivate generals and War Beast Generals.

What's the fun in nurturing just a game? I want to nurture a living, breathing world.

Having clarified his goals, Lin Qian's mind became clear, his aura suddenly surged, and he promptly sat down cross-legged on the ground.

The pleasure of nurturing had always been Lin Qian's greatest hobby, both in his past and present lives.

To strengthen the Huaxia Empire and unify the Soul Martial Continent were also for this purpose, and Lin Qian had invested all his efforts into it.

Alone and miserable in his former life, but now in this life, everything was perfect; loving parents, close relatives, and Xinxin, who never left his side.

The dreams of his previous life had been achieved in this one; his own Huaxia Empire was alive before his eyes.

"Personal strength isn't very meaningful; striving to reach the pinnacle of martial arts is too boring," murmured Lin Qian, who had seated himself to enter a state of cultivation. "Since I've transmigrated, I might as well go big; I'll set my sights on ruling and transforming this entire world."

"This is my goal, my ultimate path," declared Lin Qian.

Boom!

In an instant, a muffled boom erupted within Lin Qian's body, his Soul Power began to burn violently, the Sky Trace within his Dantian spun wildly, and a massive torrent of Spiritual Energy vigorously rushed through his body.

A domineering imperial authority enveloped the entire valley in an instant; all the existences of the Huaxia Empire guarding the town within the valley felt Lin Qian's presence and knelt in his direction.

Whoosh!

A huge gust of wind swept around immediately, and Lin Qian began his breakthrough.
