Between the dark red sky and the earth, the light surged, driving away much of darkness in the area, and on the ancient stone pedestal, the Sky Array Emperor waved slightly to suppress the horrifying fighting intent of the Stone Army beneath. Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli were shocked to see his means but were immediately relieved. If he could easily control the Stone Army’s fighting intent, then the present identity of this figure had been revealed without a doubt.

After the Sky Array Emperor revealed his identity, his gaze was filled with wisdom and reflected the vicissitudes of the situation. That gaze swept around the space, and while the scene here was the same as before, he was aware that today’s vast Great Thousand World was bound to witness a sea of change and the change of seasons as the stars changed their alignment.

The Sky Array Emperor’s gaze eventually rested on the Stone Army below, and his face was painted with a touch of sadness. In order to help him suppress the evil spirit in his body, the Stone Army actively triggered their spiritual energy and petrified their bodies, transforming into stone statues, and were permanently suppressed here.

Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli looked at each other and dared not disturb the mournful and pensive Sky Array Emperor. They also knew that the latter was only a vestigial spirit. If they annoyed him, it would dissipate directly, and their efforts to break in would be for naught.

Fortunately, the Sky Array Emperor did not fall into that state for a long time. A moment later, he looked up and smiled at the two and said, “I was surprised that with your young age, you two could break into this place and kill the evil spirit.”

“I was lucky to obtain a battle seal left by you, Master, thus I could activate the battle array you left behind. Otherwise, with both of our abilities, we would have been defeated by that evil spirit.” Zhantai Liuli stretched out her fair hand, and on her palm, there was also a shattered stone seal, which was the remnant of the stone she had previously exploded.

As soon as the Sky Array Emperor raised his hand, the piece of stone in Zhantai Liuli’s hand flew into his palm. He glanced at it and immediately laughed and said, “It is the Stone Battle Seal left by me in those days. You do have some affinity with me, lass.”

A look of pleasant surprise flitted through Zhantai Liuli’s eyes, and she looked at Mu Chen. “Master, if he had not risked his life to stop the evil spirits, we might not have awakened you.”

When Mu Chen heard Zhantai Liuli speak for him, he was stunned. Then, he nodded in acknowledgment and thanks. The latter did not snatch the glory all for herself, and her actions caused Mu Chen to feel more affection for her. Comparing Zhantai Liuli to Xiao Tian, it was obvious that her character was much better, and she was someone he could befriend.

The Sky Array Emperor also laughed before stating meaningfully, “Though I was in deep sleep, I knew what happened previously. If you had claimed all the glory for yourself, I would not have acknowledged you.”

In his laughter, there was a significant sense of appreciation. Apparently, Zhantai Liuli’s unintentional act had earned her many points in the Sky Array Emperor’s heart.

Zhantai Liuli looked at Mu Chen and patted her ample chest secretly. Her joyful expression made Mu Chen smile. After taking away her calm commanding position in battle, Zhantai Liuli was obviously only a young girl who was just slightly older than he was.

“I am a dead man, and it is affinity and destiny that you come here at this time. Although the teachings of a war troop dispatcher have always been passed down one to one according to the rules, I am dissipating soon, so these rules are no longer applicable,” The Sky Array Emperor stated slowly.

Upon hearing this, glee bloomed in Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli’s hearts. It was no wonder that the information about the war troop dispatcher was so scarce, as it was passed down one to one.

“Both of you have a good talent regarding fighting intent, both are good seedlings and qualified to be a war troop dispatcher.” The Sky Array Emperor opened his mouth again, but what he said made joy flit across both of their faces. They had taken great pains to venture into the Death Relics, and wasn’t it all they wanted, to obtain information about the war troop dispatcher?

“The war troop dispatchers were born out of the Spiritual Array Masters, but they are of different origins. They have their own merits. The Spiritual Array Masters trigger the power of heaven and earth by battle arrays, while the war troop dispatchers pay attention to the strength of manpower to overcome heaven and earth…” The wise voice of the Sky Array Emperor slowly spread in this dark area while Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli listened attentively. They dared not lose focus, for this information about the war troop dispatcher was rather rare.

“However, the barrier to entry to become a war troop dispatcher is extremely high and harsh. If ordinary Sovereigns have a strong mind power, they are able to command an army’s fighting intent, but they are ultimately limited, and it would be difficult for them to surpass controlling 10,000 troops.”

Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli both nodded quietly, as quite a few people, such as the various military commanders, were able to command fighting intent, but their control of the fighting intent was extremely limited. Once the fighting intent’s strength reached a certain point, it could no longer be controlled with mind power. If one did it by force, the fighting intent would devour them.

“The reason is not difficult to guess, but it depends on the strength of the mind power.”

The Sky Array Emperor said calmly, “This strength of mind power is quite different from spiritual power. It is even invisible and intangible, vague and difficult for ordinary people to grasp. Generally speaking, the strength and weakness of thoughts are innate, but even the strong-minded people cannot control the minds of millions of soldiers.”

Zhantai Liuli could not help but to ask, “Why can the war troop dispatchers control millions, even tens of millions of huge armies?”
