Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

"I dare not."

Ouyang Ming lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of Chu Yuan.

"Regardless of whether you dare or not, surrendering Refining City to our cause has been included in the plans of Great Wu. Those loyal to the emperor will naturally receive rewards; Refining City will be yours, you cannot escape this responsibility. I am doing this not just for you, but for the Great Wu."

Chu Yuan stated indifferently.

Even if Ouyang Ming is a genius, he's ultimately just one man.

What if an entire Refining City surrenders to him? He will gain many Refining Masters.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He knew that his return to Refining City was now secured.

"As for these stone statues, Jiao Wukong, you will lead the members of your Sea Dragon Palace to protect them. Kill anyone who approaches without my command."

Chu Yuan did not ask Ouyang Ming to repair the stone statue army.

How much can he repair on his own?

It's not worth the trade-off, his priority should be refining the celestial soldiers made from pure materials.

The making of these celestial soldiers is something he can do himself.

As for this place, let's wait until Ouyang Ming becomes the new City Lord of Refining City.

Of course, if these places could all be unlocked, then Chu Yuan would have an invincible stone statue army.

He could see that the stone statue army had strong defenses and incredible strength.

"As for the rest, we'll discuss it after Refining City belongs to Great Wu."

Chu Yuan led the officials to return.

There were still many affairs he had to deal with in the country.

The recent movements of Great Wu have made many of the forces in the Eastern Xuanyu see Great Wu as the third major force.

And after this battle, Chu Yuan had no intention of continuing to wage war.

There was no need for that now.

He was fully digesting what he had gained from this war.

With the addition of so many celestial soldiers to Great Wu, it would normally cause chaos, but with Chu Yuan's presence, no one dared to make a fuss.

"Let these Celestial Soldiers teach the young gentlemen at the Great Wu Academy when they have nothing to do, so they won't be idle."

Aside from the basic benefits, even Celestial Soldiers who want more elixirs needed to contribute.

Within the Medicine Clan, in a medicinal field, the spiritual energy was rich.

Medicine Spirit was diligently working, taking care of this medicinal field with meticulousness. A pleasing smile on her face, for her, this was also a form of cultivation.

As expected, Medicine Spirit, who had a strong bloodline as a descendant of the Celestial God, had advanced to the second level of virtual godhood in just a few months.

Even though she was Chu Yuan's follower, she would not sit idle; she would cultivate medicines for her emperor.

"Spirit."

Chu Yuan, with his hands behind his back, stood on a small hill and looked at Medicine Spirit in the medicinal field, and smiled.

"Your Majesty."

Medicine Spirit flew over, cuddling up to Chu Yuan, "This small medicinal field was opened by me, purely for Your Majesty, and the divine drugs cultivated here will greatly aid your cultivation."

"You shouldn't tire yourself out too much."

Chu Yuan felt distressed, took her hand, and brought her into his embrace.

He naturally saw that for this small medicinal field, Medicine Spirit had given a lot.

"Working for Your Majesty, I do not feel tired."

Medicine Spirit said: "My fate has been firmly tied to Great Wu, compared to me, Your Majesty is much more hardworking."

She knew, Chu Yuan had to manage countless aspects of affairs, bearing the responsibility for the entire empire.

Compared to him, she felt a lot more relaxed, as she only needed to be responsible to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan didn't say much, when he was alone with Medicine Spirit, his mind was at ease, and his whole being became a lot more relaxed.

Chu Yuan dealt with state affairs at the palace during the day and returned to Yao Ling'er at night to rest.

Drunk in a beauty's lap, awakened to rule the world.

For him, his heart could only find peace with Yao Ling'er. Upon returning to the court, he would transform into the revered and esteemed emperor, bearing the rise and fall of the Great Wu Dynasty.

The battle of the Eastern Islands showcased the raw power of Dawu.

Who wouldn't tremble? Who wouldn't fear?

The previous skirmishes scarcely mattered. This battle truly made the world aware of Dawu's formidable and terrifying strength.

In the royal study, Chu Yuan was reading memorials.

There was an abundance of state affairs recently, keeping him extremely occupied.

"Your Majesty."

Lu Qianfu entered. He was a founding minister who had fought alongside the first emperor and was now the loyal King of Dawu, trusted by Chu Yuan.

"After the battle of the Eastern Domain, one after another, provinces declared their allegiance. Just yesterday, another province pledged allegiance. Now, my Dawu controls fifteen provinces of the Eastern Mysterious Domain, which in total only consists of about a hundred provinces."

A result of awe-inspiring power!

The key was that Dawu was not only extraordinary in warfare but also known for its welfare throughout the Eastern Mysterious Domain, even in the Five Mysterious Domains. The fact that every citizen received a fixed supply of King-grade God Pills every month is something no other dynasty could match.

It was only natural for people to submit.

Who wouldn't desire divine drugs?

Living as independent cultivators wasn't as easy as one might think.

"For those who have surrendered, ensure that Dawu's laws and governance are implemented. Register those with particular talents, whether they are to enter the court or the military, in a record for me. Whenever Dawu expands, we must establish schools for all boys and girls to study and practice martial arts,"

Chu Yuan nodded.

He didn't have to worry too much about the Martial Domain.

That was where Dawu originated. The people there had a deep affinity for Dawu. It can function on its own.

"Regarding the livelihood of the people, we must also pay close attention. Without people, there is no nation."

Chu Yuan continued.

"I understand all of this. However, with so many powerful individuals suddenly joining Dawu, some of whom have grievances and even enmities toward each other, I fear it may cause some disruption to Dawu's order."

Lu Qianfu continued, "And some people didn't join out of loyalty. They are attracted by Dawu's divine drugs."

"If they have ambition, then that's a good sign. If they don't, then they're not truly human. If there are conflicts among them, let them report to the military department. We'll arrange a competition for them to resolve their disputes. Anyone who dares to private fight and disrupt Dawu's order will have their resources confiscated as a light punishment, or even be executed according to the law.

Once they become part of Dawu, they must abide by my rules."

Chu Yuan said indifferently, aware of the intricacies of human nature.

But in the mystical empire, power is supreme. No scheme or trick can overcome sheer strength. He could suppress everyone.

"Furthermore, we should continue to expand the army, using god-warriors. Set up altars in every city to accumulate national karma, then use this karma to oversee the nation."

Chu Yuan had many tasks to undertake now. With the recent addition of dozens of provinces, there were countless commoners that needed his attention.

"I understand all of this,"

Lu Qianfu said.

"One more thing, Your Majesty. There has been some friction and conflicts erupting between our Dawu soldiers and those of the Eastern Mysterious Dynasty near the border in the past two days."

Like a sudden emergence of a mighty lion, Dawu had become so strong that it became a threat to the Eastern Mysterious Dynasty. As the first dynasty of the Eastern Mysterious Domain, they naturally couldn't stand back and watch.

"All of this is within expectations. Can we allow others to sleep in our bed?"

Chu Yuan said, "If the Eastern Mysterious Dynasty dares to provoke us, then kill them, no need to be afraid of them. Although I have no intention of waging war with them now, it doesn't mean I'm afraid of them."

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from the Moon Eclipse Sect!"

Just as Chu Yuan and Lu Qianfu were discussing state affairs, an urgent letter was delivered to him.

As the letter was opened, a surge of thoughts exploded, forming the illusion of Luo YueYing.

"Martial Emperor, near the Western Mysterious Domain, my sect discovered a secret realm. After investigation, we found an imperial-grade divine vein within. But with the power of my sect alone, we are unable to secure the realm. Yueying is willing to share this secret realm with Dawu, splitting the resources equally. We urgently request for your support."

It turned out to be a distress signal from the Moon Eclipse Sect.
