At this moment, the sixty-one Emperor's Mandates behind Yang Hao coalesced and roared.
"Roar~~!"
More than a dozen divine beasts emerged, welcoming the convergence of the Emperor's Mandates!
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Ten Emperor's Mandates converged, and seventy-one Emperor's Mandates appeared behind Yang Hao. At this moment, he had become an unparalleled overlord!
Rumble!
From the four directions of the Great Han Heavenly Court, countless golden lights erupted from the ground, soaring into the clouds!

...
"By the Emperor of Heaven's decree, all officials shall enter the hall!"
Three days later, before the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City, Wei Zhongxian shouted loudly. Instantly, civil and military officials lined up on both sides and entered the hall. This was the first court assembly since the Great Han Heavenly Court unified the Immortal Realm and became the master of all regions, a momentous occasion.
"Your subject greets the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Your subject greets the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Your subject greets the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Rise!"
Yang Hao spoke softly, surveying the core power of the court. Two-thirds of these were manifested heroes, and one-third were native beings.
"Thank you, Emperor of Heaven!"
The civil and military officials bowed in thanks and rose, lining up on both sides.
"Announce!"
Yang Hao smiled slightly.
"Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian received the imperial decree and turned to face the civil and military officials, saying, "By the Emperor of Heaven's decree!"
"Wang Jian of the Qiongqi Legion swept away the four core regions in one battle, unifying all regions of the Immortal Realm. His meritorious service is significant. He is hereby enfeoffed as a First-Class Marquis and will continue to command the Qiongqi Legion!"
"Sun Bin, military advisor of the Qiongqi Legion, planned before the war and made immense contributions to the war of unification. He is hereby enfeoffed as a First-Class Marquis!"
"Your Excellencies, please receive the decree!"
"Your subjects thank the Emperor of Heaven for his grace!" Wang Jian and Sun Bin stepped forward, kneeling excitedly, and received the imperial decrees from Wei Zhongxian. After kowtowing, they respectfully lined up on the sides.
"Guan Zhong, Grand Tutor of the Great Han. Since assuming the position of Grand Tutor, he has led all officials and managed state affairs with diligence. He is hereby enfeoffed as the Prime Minister of the Great Han, ranking above the Chancellor, and will lead all officials!"
"Your subject, thanks the Emperor of Heaven for his divine grace!" Guan Zhong stepped forward and received the imperial decree. He understood that with the unification of the Immortal Realm, the few ancient sages and heroes capable of suppressing the ages would soon emerge, and changes in official positions were naturally to be expected.
"By the Emperor of Heaven's decree!"
"The Immortal Realm is unified, and all regions now belong to our Great Han. The world's prefectures and counties will be redrawn and divided into thirteen!"
"Changsun Wuji is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Sili!"
"Xie Hui is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Yanzhou!"
"Kuai Tong is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Yuzhou!"
"Gao Ying is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Jizhou!"
"Cai Ze is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Youzhou!"
"Sun Zongzong is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Qingzhou!"
"Chu Li Ji is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Xuzhou!"
"Lu Kang is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Yangzhou!"
"Li Zuoche is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Jingzhou!"
"Cao Wei is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Yizhou!"
"Xun An is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Yongzhou!"
"Ji You Yu is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Liangzhou!"
"Chen Gong is enfeoffed as the Prefect of Bingzhou!"
"It is decreed that Bao Zheng shall be the Magistrate of Chang'an!"
"Your subjects thank the Emperor of Heaven for his divine grace!"
"Yue Fei, Luo Shi Xin, Huo Qubing!"
After a series of arrangements, Yang Hao spoke softly.
"Your subject is here!"
At this moment, the three individuals without official titles or ranks, standing behind the civil and military officials, responded and stepped forward, bowing.
"Yue Fei is enfeoffed as the Commander of the White Tiger Legion! Huo Qubing is enfeoffed as the First Army Commander of the Azure Dragon Legion, and Luo Shi Xin is enfeoffed as the Deputy Commander of the Second Army of the Gluttonous Beast Legion. Effective immediately, you shall enter the Ancient Star Road to investigate the seal of the Chaos Demon Ape!"
"Your subjects obey the decree!"
The three rose, drawing the attention of many manifested heroes. Yue Fei! His military command skills were undeniable, and his military achievements were considerable. More importantly, he was devoted to the people and the nation. Huo Qubing, this military prodigy who emerged at the age of eighteen, had quickly ascended to the forefront of historical generals in just a few campaigns. Luo Shi Xin, a figure whose combat power was exaggerated in legends, second only to Zhao Wang Li Yuanba of the Western Residence!
The emergence of these three great heroes was sufficient to support Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong!
Three more unfamiliar generals!
At this time, the native officials were closely watching the three who walked out of the hall. They were three beings they had never met or heard of before. Following the usual pattern, it was likely that before long, the names of these three beings would shake the Immortal Realm and awe the Ancient Star Road!
"The prefectures have been redivided. Please expedite the matters concerning various cities and important civil and military affairs. Yuwen Kai and Yuan Tiangang, you two must cooperate fully! Court adjourned!" Yang Hao finished speaking and rose to leave.
"Your subjects respectfully escort the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, all heroes sealed on the eighth level of the Reincarnation Yellow Pagoda have now manifested. To unseal the final level of the Reincarnation Yellow Pagoda, your own realm needs to reach eighty-one Emperor's Mandates!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the final level of the Reincarnation Yellow Pagoda seals fifteen heroes. Each hero's unsealing will consume fifteen hundred million Reincarnation Power!" Leaving the Xuanzheng Hall, Yang Hao boarded his dragon carriage and gazed quietly at the distant sky.
Soon!
Although the Immortal Realm had been unified, the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny could provide fifty billion Destiny and Merit points daily. Before long, he would be able to control eighty-one Emperor's Mandates!
