Pills are a shortcut to martial arts breakthroughs.
In a world where martial arts are paramount.
The existence of pills is an indispensable item.
Using the lure of pills' benefits to incorporate this low-level civilization into the dynasty's territory without expending a single soldier is the best course of action.
If these preliminary measures fail, suppressing them with force wouldn't be difficult either.
Ultimately, this is the Minister of Revenue's test.
Success is welcome, failure is acceptable.
"Yes, Your subject understands," the Minister of Revenue said, respectfully kowtowing.
"Go to the imperial city's post station and wait temporarily. I will have the Mountain and River King take you there," Xuan Ming waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.
Soon, the Minister of Revenue departed.
Watching his departing figure, Xuan Ming fell into silence.
"The dynasty's current domestic population and the foundation of strong individuals have not yet been cultivated. If we conquer other civilizations using only summoned gods and demons, and their numbers are insufficient, outward expansion will obviously be restricted. Therefore, I still need other strong individuals."
"The gods and demons of the Azure Domain, the gods and demons of other demon domains, and the gods and demons of civilizations near the Azure Domain are all potential resources. We can establish a Divine Demon Bureau, or other organizations, to accommodate external gods and demons, in addition to methods of controlling them."
"Furthermore, we can use a performance system similar to contribution points to make them voluntarily help the dynasty expand outwards. These contribution points can be exchanged for divine demon pills, divine artifacts, and even the resurrection of people or gods and demons who only have souls left. This way, the pressure on the number of strong individuals for outward expansion can be significantly reduced."
Xuan Ming thought silently.
The dynasty's own foundation cannot grow in a short period of time, so it needs to collect external forces through other means.
Complementing each other will also promote the development of the dynasty's homeland.
Enhancing the nation's fortune.
Promoting and improving Xuan Ming's cultivation progress.
"This matter can be implemented, but it will take time," Xuan Ming stroked his chin.
Ultimately, it still comes down to time.
Although he has made great progress in the months since he took over the dynasty.
It is still difficult to compare with external forces that have tens of thousands of years of history.
"System, sign in."
After temporarily shelving this plan, Xuan Ming silently said in his heart.
"Ding!"
"Signing in..."
"Sign-in complete."
"Congratulations, Host, sign-in reward: Violet-Gold Divine Intent Hammer [Half-Step Ancient God Artifact]!"
"Another divine artifact?"
Xuan Ming frowned slightly.
During this period, he has signed in for no less than ten divine artifacts, the lowest being Celestial God Artifacts, and now, it's almost at the Ancient God level.
Immediately, a light blue card appeared in front of Xuan Ming.
Within the card, was a Violet-Gold Hammer releasing the pressure of a Half-Step Ancient God Artifact!
Xuan Ming casually placed it into his body, and the hammer-path laws within his body instantly surrounded it, firmly enveloping the Violet-Gold Divine Intent Hammer.
"In the Emperor World, there are also some creatures who have reached the Saint Realm. I can gather them and teach them the methods of advancing to become gods and demons," Xuan Ming's thoughts flickered, and his figure disappeared from the Xuanhuang Hall.
............
The Extraterrestrial Void Realm.
Standing on the earth, one can see through the galaxy at a glance, witnessing the magnificent and beautiful vast starry sky.
The Minister of War walked through it, feeling as if he were in a dream.
But he quickly regained his senses.
Knowing what he should do now, what he should accomplish.
"There are gods and demons in this realm. When we crossed the boundary, the other party had already noticed us, but they are wary of our power and did not come over immediately," Wuming said, describing the situation in the Extraterrestrial Void Realm.
The Minister of War suppressed the shock in his heart.
To attack a world with gods and demons sitting in command.
Perhaps, among the past emperors, only His Majesty could do it.
The Minister of War took a deep breath.
Looking at the generals present, he instructed: "This realm is the first we have set foot in. Is there a map of the terrain?"
"Yes, but it's only a partial one," Wuming slightly narrowed his eyes, his divine sense sweeping across half of the Extraterrestrial Void Realm. With the divine sense of an Earth God, he could not grasp the entire appearance of the Void Realm, coupled with the interference of foreign gods and demons.
He could only obtain a portion.
Subsequently, a scroll appeared in front of the Minister of War.
"With a map of the terrain, this battle is already one-third won," the Minister of War slightly affirmed in his heart.

Chapter 128: The End of the Extraterrestrial War, the Minister of Personnel's Plan, the Terror of the Imperial Dynasty's Pill God Hall
............
Fighting in an unfamiliar environment.
Understanding the terrain is the key to winning a war.
If one doesn't even understand the terrain and launches an attack rashly.
It is easy to suffer a big loss.
But now, with a map of the terrain in hand, one can clearly lay out the entire battle situation.
"Plains..." After carefully observing the terrain map, a smile appeared on the Minister of War's face.
Before entering the extraterrestrial world, he had already seen it.
About half of the army arranged by His Majesty were cavalry.
The geographical environment that cavalry are good at is mainly flat terrain, open fields of vision, and relatively hard soil, suitable for cavalry to charge back and forth, with swift and agile combat capabilities.
And the vast majority of this extraterrestrial void realm is plains.
In this way, after several charges, the opposing forces will inevitably be greatly weakened.
"General Gongsun, your troops are proficient in mounted archery. Among the cavalry, their equipment is the lightest and their mobility is the strongest. You can lead the White Horse Volunteers to interfere with the enemy's deployment and harass them from the side after discovering the enemy..."
"General Gao, General Cao, General Qin, your troops are all heavy armored cavalry, heavy armored warriors. Once General Gongsun's harassment of the enemy takes effect, the enemy will inevitably be distracted to resist. In this way, you can disrupt the enemy's formation at the first moment..."
The Minister of War stroked his chin and said, deploying the troops.
A hundred years ago, he had participated in the counterattack against the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
In that battle, although the late emperor led the army, in fact, he was the one making the allocation of the various armies behind the scenes.
After that war, there were thousands of legions and hundreds of millions of people.
More than this war, only more, not less.
But the significance between the two is different, and the enemies are also different.
Making the Minister of War's spirit tense.
"Once the war begins, that enemy god and demon will definitely seize the opportunity to make a move. At that time, please, Chief Commander Wuming, take action to resist," after making the deployment, the Minister of War looked at Wuming, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Wuming nod.
The Minister of War's heart felt a slight sense of inexplicable excitement.
Leading an elite army to attack the extraterrestrial world.
Taking the extraterrestrial as the battlefield, and the gods and demons as the opponents!
This kind of honor...
Even the late emperor didn't have it!
The Minister of War was in high spirits!
However, he knew that the more it was like this, the more he couldn't be careless.
"Your Majesty..."
The Minister of War turned his head and looked in the direction of the space crack, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes.
If they are fighting against gods and demons.
Then His Majesty is using gods and demons as pawns.
Living in the deep palace for a long time, yet able to directly influence the future of a world.
............
On the other side.
The Minister of Revenue has already entered the Azure Domain territory with the Mountain and River King.
The medicinal material trade system in his mind has not been fully thought out.
The reason for entering the Azure Domain in advance.
Is to understand the pills in the Azure Domain civilization, as well as the pill transactions in the civilizations near the Azure Domain, on what principles they are based.
Only by understanding these can he prepare a complete medicinal material and pill transaction system that is most beneficial to the dynasty.
And this is the first time he has left the Southern Continent.
It is also the first time he has come to a human civilization that is completely different from the dynasty.
