The Dragon Country gradually stabilized not long after. While some individuals from the ancient sects continued to act recklessly, they dared not do so carelessly. Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Country would not have dared to suppress them so easily, but things were different now. The current Dragon Country was no longer the same as before.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Lu Fan did not make a move, but his brow furrowed slightly. He could tell that the ancient sects' actions this time were likely intentional.
The Dragon Country's ambition to be promoted to the Dragon Dynasty must have obstructed the ancient sects. Their actions were a warning to the Dragon Country. If the Dragon Country insisted on proceeding, the ancient sects would not stand idly by.
During these three days, numerous experts from the Dragon Group were stationed throughout the Dragon Capital. Any suspicious individuals were suppressed. Moreover, no one other than the Dragon Country's experts was allowed to enter the Dragon Capital easily.
This ascension of the nation was no trivial matter; it concerned the lifeblood of the Dragon Country, a fact they were well aware of.
After three days, countless figures stood in the Dragon Capital Plaza.
These people were filled with anticipation, waving flags in their hands, and their hearts were extremely excited.
In the center of the plaza stood a giant statue, and the person depicted in the statue was Lu Fan.
The members of the Dragon Group did not dare to delay. They not only stationed experts around the Dragon Capital but also completely banned passage within ten miles of the Dragon Capital.
At the same time, throughout the Dragon Country, countless figures appeared on the streets, looking at the giant statue with reverence.
Since Lu Fan took action to save the Dragon Country, many cities had erected statues of Lu Fan, as if these statues could ward off evil and bring good fortune.
Lu Fan arrived secretly at the Dragon Capital Plaza and felt a continuous influx of power within his body. He even had an intuition that if this continued, he could break through to the Battle Emperor realm.
"Is this the power of the people's faith?"
Long Yi looked at Lu Fan's surroundings, deeply moved. He could clearly feel Lu Fan's aura gradually rising, and in time, he would reach an extremely high realm.
"If the grand ceremony is successfully held, we will have the blessing of national destiny!"
Lu Fan stated, "At that time, perhaps I can break through to the Battle Emperor realm in one fell swoop!"
"That would be for the best!" Long Yi nodded solemnly.
With the ancient sects watching menacingly, Lu Fan's ability to grow stronger was naturally a great boon to the Dragon Country.
"The grand ceremony is held today. From this day forward, the Dragon Country will be renamed the Dragon Dynasty!"
The Grand Elder stood on the high platform and shouted to the crowd, his voice resounding.
As his words fell, everyone present cheered, showing great enthusiasm.
Looking at the numerous citizens below the Dragon Capital, Lu Fan was also somewhat moved. All his efforts seemed to have been worthwhile.
Just as everyone was elated, the entire Dragon Capital, and indeed the entire Dragon Country, began to tremble as if shaken by an earthquake.
"What's going on? Could it be that a powerful expert is attacking?"
The elders frowned and stepped forward. As elders of the Dragon Dynasty, they would not allow their citizens to be harmed in any way.
Lu Fan also instantly activated his senses and looked towards the Dragon Country Headquarters.
Within the headquarters, a beam of light shot into the sky, carrying supreme aura and emitting rays of brilliance.
"It's the Dragon Spring, the Dragon Spring has opened its eyes!"
The Seventh Elder exclaimed with joy. He had not expected the Dragon Spring to open its eyes at this moment, which signaled that the Dragon Dynasty would surely head for glory in the future.
"The Dragon Spring opens its eyes, the Dynasty prospers!"
The Grand Elder shouted excitedly. It had not been easy for the Dragon Country to reach this day.
With the opening of the Dragon Spring, every general of the Dragon Country, and even every elder, received the blessing of national destiny.
The Grand Elder possessed emperor-level aura, while the Seventh and Ninth Elders gradually ascended, directly reaching the ninth stage of the Battle Emperor realm.
Simultaneously, numerous generals of the Dragon Dynasty also began to break through. Whether they were Battle Kings or Battle Spirits, their breakthroughs increased severalfold compared to before.
Even several experts within the Dragon Country ascended to the Battle Emperor realm.
Even more terrifying was that the power of national destiny was still operating, and the blessings they received would continue to increase.
"Is this the power of national destiny?"
Long Yi was shocked. He was also being blessed by national destiny at this moment, and his aura was gradually increasing.
Just as everyone was celebrating, outside the Dragon Capital, a group of uninvited guests arrived, each emanating a powerful aura.
"Who are you?"
The members of the Dragon Group shouted, "This is the East Gate of the Dragon Capital. No one is allowed to enter!"
"Just you lot?"
Several elders scoffed. With a slight stomp of their feet, they repelled the Dragon Group members, showing utter disregard.
Within the Dragon Capital, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. "People are coming from all four directions of the Dragon Capital. I fear they have ill intentions!"
"Let's each guard a gate!"
Long Yi suggested, "We absolutely cannot let them enter the Dragon Capital at this crucial moment!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and moved towards the East Gate. Among the four directions, the East Gate had the strongest aura.
The elders of the Dragon Country also sensed that something was amiss and dispatched three elders towards the North Gate.
At the East Gate, after dealing with the Dragon Group members, the several elders headed straight for the Dragon Capital city.
However, their path was blocked by Lu Fan outside the city.
"Foolish boy, get out of the way!"
The voices of the several elders were cold, and they did not take Lu Fan seriously at all.
"A grand ceremony is being held within the Dragon Capital. I request all seniors to return!" Lu Fan clasped his hands.
"With just you alone, you dare to say such a thing!"
An elder sneered and suddenly unleashed a burst of inner energy towards Lu Fan. In his eyes, Lu Fan was merely a gate-guarding general, not worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, after this burst of energy was unleashed, there was no reaction at all.
Even more terrifyingly, Lu Fan stomped his foot on the ground, catching them off guard. They were all forced to retreat, and a trace of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.
"Who exactly are you? To possess such strength?" the elders were shocked and filled with apprehension.
"Logically speaking, I should be the Lord of the Dragon Dynasty!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If you seniors have come to offer congratulations, the Dragon Dynasty welcomes you. But if you have ulterior motives, do not blame me for showing no mercy!"
"So you are the one leading the Dragon Country!"
The white-haired elder spoke coldly, "If you act as the Lord of the Dragon Country, we ancient sects will not interfere. But if you wish to become the ruler of a Dynasty, it is likely a pipe dream!"
"Seniors, are you saying this because you have a backup plan!" Lu Fan's expression turned cold.
He knew very well that these old fellows were here to cause trouble. If they could not be intimidated, it would surely lead to many problems.
"We are elders of the Blazing Sun Sect. In addition to us, the Sect Master will personally come!"
An elder said coldly, "When the Sect Master personally comes, the Dragon Country may be annihilated. Young man, you should consider carefully!"
"If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If others offend me, I will strike them down!"
