"Ding! The immortal artifact weapon has been successfully upgraded. Host, the barracks level in the Three Thousand Dao Continent plane has reached max level. The ten great legions' soldiers have stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm, requiring fifteen billion Dao Killing Points to consume!"
...
"Your Majesty, the Azure Dragon Legion, White Tiger Legion, and Golden Lion Legion have all taken control of Bei You. Concubine Yun requests permission to return to Chang'an." In Chang'an City, within the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Si said with a smile. Dan novels.
In the past seven days, all departments in Chang'an City have been exceptionally busy. Although preparations have been underway for several years, facing the unification of the entire Bei You, with six hundred Dao Continent lands now under the Great Han, a vast territory, tens of thousands of cities, require a large number of officials and garrison troops. Not only that, but Yuwen Kai, the Minister of Works, has also conducted an inspection of the entire Bei You, adjusting some cities and passes. In the past few days, Zhang Jiao, leading the entire Daoist sect, has traveled across Bei You, Dong Yao, and Nan Ze, setting up teleportation arrays in the cities and territories of the Great Han.
The Mi Cang Dao is open only to the heroes and armies of the Great Han. Ordinary civilians can only pass through officially arranged teleportation arrays. In the past few days, the enormous workload has fallen directly onto the shoulders of Prime Minister Li Si. Every major issue requires his strict control. To further digest the land of Bei You, Xian Zhen and Geng Yan have slowed down their pace of destroying the Fallen Immortal Dynasty and the White Tiger Pavilion.
"Approved!"
"The appointment of officials should also lean towards the inhabitants of Bei You, maintaining a certain balance. Bei You is unified, and all is in ruins. The laws of the Great Han must be gradually imposed. Convey my decree: exempt the inhabitants of Bei You, Dong Yao, and Nan Ze from ten years of taxation and vigorously promote development!"
Yang Hao spoke.
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Li Si received the order and bowed, then withdrew.
"Is there any news of Xia Xin Yu?"
Yang Hao inquired.
Since the sealed area of Dong Yao ended, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had lost track of Xia Xin Yu. For the current Great Han Divine Dynasty, apart from the Central Continent where the Embroidered Uniform Guard had not penetrated, all other regions were under their watchful eyes. However, for over a month, there had been no news of Xia Xin Yu. This person was a reincarnated being from the late ancient era, extremely powerful. Although currently on good terms with the Great Han Divine Dynasty, caution was necessary.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has no news of Xia Xin Yu during this period. After returning from the sealed area, she visited the Ancient Divine Mountain once and then disappeared. The patriarch of the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix clan was ordered to personally ascend the summit of the Ancient Divine Mountain. Apart from a cushion and a five-colored feather, there was no news of Xia Xin Yu. Your subject speculates that Xia Xin Yu must have opened a cave heaven at the summit of the Ancient Divine Mountain!" Du Ruhui stepped forward and said.
Currently, the relationship between the Great Han and Xia Xin Yu was still decent. Investigating the summit of the Ancient Divine Mountain would only strain their relationship. As a powerful being reincarnated from the late ancient era, no one knew where Xia Xin Yu's current realm had reached. Entering the sealed area was for the purpose of finding a way to enter the Immortal Realm. Without sufficient confidence to reach the pinnacle of the planar realm, her efforts to search would be in vain.
"Do not concern yourself with it for now."
"Bei You is entirely inhabited by humans, with a vast region and numerous cities. Consolidating it into a single province and designating it as You Province. Yuwen Kai, have you selected a provincial capital city?"
Yang Hao's brows relaxed as he looked at Yuwen Kai.
Bei You was a gathering place for humans, primarily led by the Yun clan, the Great Yin, and the Ye family, with others as their subordinates. All were humans, and designating it as a single province would also facilitate central management.
"Replying to Your Majesty, your subject has inspected Bei You. A new city has been constructed at the border of the former Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, the Yun clan Immortal Dynasty, and the human realm, to serve as the provincial capital of You Province!" Yuwen Kai respectfully stepped forward, his face showing slight fatigue. The workload of the Ministry of Works had been immense these past few days, and he had to shuttle back and forth between Bei You, Dong Yao, and Nan Ze. He bowed respectfully, "Please bestow a name upon it, Your Majesty!"
"Bei Tong!"
"Your subject obeys!" Yuwen Kai rose and returned to his original position.
"Your Majesty, your subject and Ye Fei have recently discussed and learned that the mastermind behind the attack on him was Jiang Zuo Tan of the Jiang Zuo aristocratic family. The eight great families of the Central Continent feared Ye Fei's talent, so Jiang Zuo Tan colluded with other beings to eliminate Ye Fei. However, Ye Fei is lucky; he severed his own realm and sealed himself underground!"
"However, your subject believes that the Great Han must also be cautious about this matter. A single Ye Fei caused the eight great families of the Central Continent to act so ruthlessly. Yet, our Great Han already possesses the Western Border, Bei You, and parts of Dong Yao and Nan Ze, with immense power and a profound foundation, second only to the eight great families of the Central Continent. Once the war in the Central Continent subsides, storms will likely sweep towards our Great Han Divine Dynasty!" Li Si spoke again, his eyes filled with a hint of apprehension.
The eight great families of the Central Continent feared the human forces primarily because of the powerful Immortal Lord at that time. They feared the emergence of another human being like the Immortal Lord, which would endanger their hegemonic status. Currently, the eight great families of the Central Continent were locked in a bloody war, and the Central Continent had become chaotic. Battles between equally matched sides could not be resolved in one or two encounters. There would be a brief respite, but once they temporarily ceased hostilities and surveyed the surroundings, a formidable power had already swept through the Western Border, Bei You, Dong Yao, and Nan Ze, and they would absolutely not tolerate it.
"Your subject concurs!"
"Your subject concurs!"
"Your subject concurs!"
One by one, ministers stepped forward, their faces grave.
"Prime Minister's words are correct. Currently, the White Tiger Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty are on the verge of annihilation. Except for the Central Continent, all other territories will fall into the hands of our Great Han. This matter requires early planning. Order Xian Zhen and Geng Yan to sweep away the White Tiger Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty within three days!"
"In one day's time, the ministers of the Military Affairs Department will convene in the Tongtian Hall! Court dismissed!"
...
The unification of Bei You, with the Yun clan Immortal Dynasty, Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, and the human realm all submitting to the Great Han, a vast power now encompassed the four directions.
The news reached the lands of Dong Yao and Nan Ze. Countless beings widened their eyes, and those who dared not believe it swallowed hard. This was simply unbelievable. How could a Great Han Divine Dynasty suppress the powerful Yun clan Immortal Dynasty, and how could it make the Ye family, a giant of the human main lineage, bow in submission?
Yet, a few days later, the various factions of Dong Yao witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives!
Geng Yan, Liang Lin, Deng Qiang, and Zhang Hao, leading an army of three million, raised the banner of the Great Han Divine Dynasty and appeared in the ancestral land of the White Tiger Pavilion. Simultaneously, all the large and small cities of the former Vermillion Bird City, Black Tortoise Hall, and Azure Dragon Palace, overnight, raised the banner of the Great Han Divine Dynasty!
The Great Han flag, fluttering in the wind, shook the nine heavens. Apart from the Central Continent, which was embroiled in a great war, all other cities, ten million races, and hundreds of millions of beings were profoundly shocked. Overnight, the Great Han Divine Dynasty had unified Bei You. Now, the remaining Fallen Immortal Dynasty in Nan Ze and the White Tiger Pavilion in Dong Yao were also in a precarious situation, on the verge of annihilation at any moment!
