Chapter 165 The King is Foolish!

However, this agreement conceals the ambitions and schemes of the local kingdom.

The Earth Kingdom's king's plan is being realized step by step; he wants to make Yun Muhan and the Heavenly Kingdom stepping stones for the Earth Kingdom's rise.

A hint of smugness flashed in the eyes of the king of the land. He wanted the whole world to know that the land's peace was conditional, and that condition was that the land's interests came first.

He cleverly included clauses in the agreement that, while seemingly harmless in the short term, could bring enormous benefits to the country in the long run and might even weaken the power of other nations.

At this banquet, the king's strategies and wisdom were fully demonstrated.

He not only successfully persuaded Yun Muhan and the other envoys to accept his proposal, but also skillfully prioritized the interests of the land kingdom.

As the banquet came to an end, Yun Muhan, outwardly appearing satisfied, returned to the Heavenly Kingdom with the envoys from various countries.

His smile and demeanor revealed his satisfaction with the banquet's success and his optimism about the peace agreement.

However, this was merely a carefully constructed facade.

In fact, Yun Muhan possessed knowledge from his past life spanning three thousand years. He once sat on the throne of the empire, looking down upon all living beings, and experienced countless vicissitudes.

His wisdom and experience far surpass those of ordinary people, and he has a profound understanding and insight into power games and political struggles.

Yun Muhan knew that he had fallen into the trap set by the king of the Earth Kingdom, but he did not show any panic or unease.

He knew that the Kingdom of Di was secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the right opportunity to overthrow the existing order and achieve its ambition of unifying the world.

Yun Muhan already had a plan in mind. His thoughts were like a grand chess game, with each piece already carefully arranged in his mind.

Yun Muhan stood before the magnificent palace of the Heavenly Kingdom, his heart filled with worry. His gaze pierced through the towering pillars and exquisite reliefs, landing on the distant horizon.

He knew that he bore not only personal glory, but also the future of the entire nation and the peace of the entire continent.

This heavy responsibility caused Yun Muhan to frown, but his eyes shone with determination.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the palace, ready to report all this to the king.

"Your Majesty, I have urgent intelligence to report." Yun Muhan's voice echoed in the empty hall, clear and firm.

The King of Heaven, a seemingly dignified but short-sighted ruler, sat on his throne, appearing somewhat impatient with Yun Muhan's urgent request.

"Yun Muhan, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?" His voice revealed a hint of displeasure, as if he was troubled by Yun Muhan's urgent report.

Yun Muhan was not swayed by the king's attitude; he knew time was of the essence.

“Your Majesty, the ambitions of the Earth Kingdom are now crystal clear. They are secretly amassing power, preparing to overthrow the existing order. We must take immediate action and send troops to destroy the Earth Kingdom to eliminate future threats.” Yun Muhan’s words revealed a sense of urgency and a deep concern for the future of the nation.

However, the Heavenly Kingdom's ruler's reaction was beyond Yun Muhan's expectations.

"Yun Muhan, how arrogant you are! The Di Kingdom has always been our ally. How can you make such an absurd suggestion? Do you want to start a war?" The king's voice was full of anger and incomprehension.

Yun Muhan's heart sank. He realized that the king's ignorance and shortsightedness might bring disaster to the Heavenly Kingdom.

But he did not give up; he had to persuade the king, even if it meant going against the king's will.

Faced with the king's anger and incomprehension, Yun Muhan's heart sank. He suddenly realized that the king's ignorance and shortsightedness might bring disaster to the kingdom.

He stood below the throne, facing the king's accusations, his expression remaining calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, I am not speaking without reason. The ambitions and schemes of the Earth Kingdom's ruler have been exposed, and their actions have threatened our survival. If we do not take action, the future of the Heavenly Kingdom will be in grave danger." Yun Muhan's voice was firm and powerful. He tried to persuade the king with reason and facts, hoping to awaken the king's vigilance.

The king's face grew even darker; he was clearly unwilling to accept this fact.

"Yun Muhan, you are spreading alarmist rumors. The Earth Kingdom has always been a champion of peace, and your remarks will only damage relations between our two countries. I will not allow you to continue to slander our ally." The king's words revealed his distrust of Yun Muhan and his blind trust in the Earth Kingdom.

Yun Muhan understood that he could no longer rely on the king's wise decisions. He had to take other measures to protect the Heavenly Kingdom.

He bowed deeply, outwardly showing obedience, but inwardly he had already begun to plan how to secretly prepare the defenses of the Kingdom of Heaven, while looking for an opportunity to expose the true nature of the Kingdom of Earth.

A resolute glint flashed in Yun Muhan's eyes; he knew he was about to face a difficult struggle.

Yun Muhan's heart was filled with loyalty to the Heavenly Kingdom and a sense of responsibility to the people; he would spare no effort to protect them.

Dugu Jianling: How did this guy even get to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Kingdom? It's unbelievable that it wasn't swallowed up!

Yun Muhan thought to himself: In my past life, I was not much different from him. The fate of a ruler like this in Heaven is destruction, and this ruler... his fate is betrayal, so of course it won't be me.

Although Yun Muhan was filled with worry, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor. He knew that in this crisis, any panic or loss of composure could lead to disastrous consequences.

His steps were steady as he slowly withdrew from the king's council chamber, each step appearing exceptionally heavy, as if carrying the future of the kingdom.

Yun Muhan had no time to waste and had to act immediately.

Yun Muhan first found his confidants, a group of generals and strategists loyal to the Heavenly Kingdom.

They gathered in a secluded chamber, where Yun Muhan revealed to them the true intentions of the Earth Kingdom and the incompetence of its ruler.

“We must act immediately,” Yun Muhan said solemnly, his voice echoing in the secret chamber, filled with urgency. “The king has been deceived by the sweet words of the Earth Kingdom, and we cannot expect him to protect the Heaven Kingdom. We must prepare our own defenses and at the same time look for opportunities to expose the Earth Kingdom’s conspiracy.”

His confidants readily agreed, their eyes revealing unwavering resolve. They knew it would be a difficult battle, but they also understood that for the future of their kingdom, they had no other choice.

Yun Muhan's words inspired their courage and sense of responsibility, and they were willing to follow Yun Muhan and fight for the peace and prosperity of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Yun Muhan began secretly mobilizing troops to strengthen border defenses. He dispatched his most elite forces to the border to ensure that the Heavenly Kingdom's first line of defense was impregnable.

At the same time, he also sent spies deep into the country to gather intelligence.

He knew that only by grasping the enemy's movements could he formulate effective countermeasures.

Under Yun Muhan's command, the Heavenly Kingdom's army began secret exercises and training to improve its combat capabilities. They strengthened patrols along the border to ensure that any suspicious activities were detected and reported promptly.

At the same time, Yun Muhan also strengthened internal screening to ensure that no Earth Kingdom spies infiltrated Heaven Kingdom and leaked their plans.
