Chapter 561: 5 Months

"Lilith doesn't involve herself with the dispute in Asgard. She usually remains in her abode to cultivate if she has nothing to do. The only one we should be wary of is Hecate and his minions. Though we still have to be careful with the reaction of the Asgard Lord." Asmodeus muttered solemnly.

In truth, he was more worried about the Lord. They still have a chance to defeat Hecate and the Hall of Might, but the same thing couldn't be said if the Lord of Asgard was involved. He was someone whose strength has already exceeded the realms of Celestials!

Jiu Shen remained silent after hearing everything from Asmodeus. Just the strength of Hecate and the Hall of Might alone was already shocking. It was relieving to hear that the Hall of Creation was not an enemy.

"What are you planning, Jiu Shen?" Asmodeus eyed him curiously, wondering what Jiu Shen would do after hearing the strength of Asgard.

Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and closed his eyes as he pondered deeply.

The only enemy on the surface was Hecate and the Hall of Might, but Lilith and the Hall of Creation might intervene if a war erupts. Although it wasn't likely to happen based on Asmodeus' description of Lilith, Jiu Shen had a nagging feeling that they might be facing the two in battle. Not to mention that there was still the mysterious Lord of Asgard.

'The Celestials on my side are Jian Wang, Elena, and Asmodeus, but I'm still not sure if I should trust Asmodeus. Including myself, there are four of us against three from the Hall of Might... No! I shouldn't be hasty... I'll focus on strengthening our soldiers first.'

Jiu Shen opened his eyes and turned his gaze towards Asmodeus. The man was waiting for him to speak. "We can't defeat them now with our current strength. I'm confident that we can hold back the three Celestials of the Hall of Might, but our subordinates might have a hard time. For now, I plan to focus on the reconstruction of the Heavenly Sword Tower and the reorganization of our army." He then glanced at Jian Wang who was sitting leisurely beside him.

"Jian Wang, I need your help with this. Among all of us, you have the most resounding reputation and rallying power. You can summon everyone with just a few words."

Jian Wang turned his gaze at Jiu Shen and nodded his head. His face was serious. "What do you want me to do?"

He also felt the threat looming over their heads. He wasn't used to this feeling. He didn't want to leave his fate in the hands of others.

"I want you to create an army and shape them into an elite force! I will help you in persuading the leaders of the major powerhouses. With their intelligence, they should realize the threat of Asgard." For some reason, Jiu Shen felt that their future was difficult to predict.

Asmodeus frowned as he looked at Jiu Shen. 'Why is this guy so adamant about fighting with Asgard?'

Jiu Shen also didn't why. However, he had this feeling that Asgard would one day cause chaos to the Primordial God Realm.

The three Celestials continued discussing their future cooperation.

Five months later, Jiu Shen stared at the new buildings beneath him.

He was hovering above, Sword City, the new capital of the Heavenly Sword Region.

Millions upon millions of people crowded the streets of Sword City, providing it with a bustling atmosphere.

Floating lanterns and fireworks covered the skies as everyone celebrated the emergence of a new powerhouse and the successful reconstruction of the Heavenly Sword Region.

At the center of Sword City was a towering skyscraper with the shape of a sword. It looked majestic and imposing with its blade pointed at the skies.

The crowd looked up at the sword tower in awe of its magnificent structure.

Meanwhile, just opposite the sword tower was a dragon building surrounded by tall golden fences. A huge crowd of people can be seen loitering around this place. There was also a long queue of customers lining up at the entrance of the dragon building.

With the help of Asmodeus, Jiu Shen was able to transport the sword tower and the dragon building to the Heavenly Sword Tower. Without that guy's help, it would have taken him a few years to create an Array Formation that could transport the two large buildings.

Five months ago, Jian Wang announced to the whole world that he had joined the Heavenly Sword Tower. He also announced that he would be creating a large army of elites, causing many sword experts to immediately line up at the entrance of the sword tower.

Many shocking changes happened in the newly reconstructed region, but everyone has become numb to the news by now.

Jiu Shen slowly landed on the ground under the worshipping gazes of millions of people.

Dressed in plain white robes with golden embroidery and coupled with his handsome face, everyone regarded him as a deity!

"Greetings, Wine God Jiu Shen!"

"Greetings, Wine God Jiu Shen!"

The crowd greeted him in unison. Their sonorous voices traveled throughout the entire Sword City.

Wine God Jiu Shen. This has become his new title after becoming a Celestial. He didn't know who came up with it, but he was pleased about his new title.

Jiu Shen smiled at the crowd. "Don't mind me, everyone! Just enjoy the celebration!" He had learned how to speak to a large crowd within the last five months.

The crowd bowed at Jiu Shen and dispersed in all directions.

The celebration continued and the loud cheering of the people echoed in every corner of the city.

"Wine God, the envoy sent by Miss Elena has arrived." A soldier dressed in black armor reported while kneeling on one knee.

"Oh? Bring this person to me." Jiu Shen said with a look of anticipation. He had sent someone to the Southern Region to deliver an invitation letter to Elena. She mentioned that she would be sending one of her people to join the celebration.

Jiu Shen wanted to see this person.
