Lord of the Earth

Chapter 704: Dynasty advancement, three major conditions!
"Is this Baiyujing?"

"Hiss, what a huge city... The area alone is probably more than fifty miles... Palaces are rising and falling one after another, and even the mountains and rivers are included in it. What a beautiful scene..."

"What? The population of Baiyujing is close to five million? My goodness, the population of our Golden Lion Dynasty is even smaller than that of Qianxia Dynasty..."

A few days later, when the fleet carrying the eight-nation delegation arrived at "Baiyujing", the "envoys of the eight nations" who got off the ship were shocked again!
It's because, nowadays, Baiyujing has really shown the "immortal atmosphere" just like its name!
On the fifty-meter-high "Great Wall of Humankind", various forms of war machines are arrayed on the wall, like "divine beasts" guarding the four directions!
In the city, the statues of the nine dragon sons have reached a height of five hundred meters, standing tall like a mountain, overlooking the many living creatures below!

A black and white Jiao Pheasant evolved into an extraordinary "Dragon Bird", Thunder Bird, Ghost Vulture, and even Pegasus, flying in the sky, as if walking on the galaxy...

Especially when it is night time.

When the "Purple Star Array" that protects the city is activated, the star power emanating from the "Star Hall, Forbidden City" and other important artifacts as the foundation makes the sky above the entire city covered with starlight.

Moreover, at the four major city gates, there appeared four divine statues of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise to guard them. Such a majestic aura could not be matched by those dynasties that were not "unified"!
"Humph, it's just a deliberate move. It would be better to use these resources to manufacture weapons instead of just using them for superficial purposes..."

Even though that part came from the modern Samsung lords, they could only say this with a feeling of bitterness in their hearts.

"My dear He, I'm back. You've been working hard these past few days..."

"No matter how hard or tiring it is, I am willing to serve Your Majesty..."

In the Forbidden City, the Imperial Garden.

Xia Tian sat among the fragrant white lotuses and met Heshen, who asked to see him the first person after returning to Beijing!
Even now, part of the original "Lingquan Territory" has been incorporated into "Baiyujing", and this

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the eight countries have all arrived... and are now settled in the Golden Terrace..."

Heshen smiled and took out several colorful gourds from his sleeve. Then he took out his "golden abacus" to do the math.

"To express their respect to Your Majesty, these envoys specially presented rare treasures as tribute."

"Among them, the Malaysian Dynasty presented 10 sacred South China Sea pearls, the Annan Dynasty presented extraordinary spiritual rice, one grain of which can keep one from starving for ten days, and the Emirate presented 'dragon oil' extracted from a sacred beast, the 'Desert Dragon Lizard', which can be applied to the body to repel desert creatures below the sacred level... all of these together are equivalent to about 5 million spiritual stones..."

Heshen counted the values ​​of these items to Xia Tian one by one.

"These are probably the agency fees given to you. You are really willing to spend the money..."

Xia Tian nodded and smiled.

It’s pretty good, and it has a bit of the flavor of “all nations coming to pay tribute”.

Of course, the Qianxia Dynasty would not learn from the ancient Chinese practice of being the "Celestial Empire". If someone gave you a pile of food, you would reward them with a pile of gold and silver!
Since these rare treasures were given to Heshen by the other party, Xia Tian would not give any return gifts.

"Well, their previous requests can be agreed to. However, we still have to wait until after the 'Promotion Ceremony'... Now that the envoys from the eight countries have arrived, let's hold the 'Promotion Ceremony' tomorrow..."

Then, Xia Tian said.

"By the way, during the past few days of traveling together, what do they have to say about my promotion to the imperial dynasty?"

Then, he thought of something and asked Heshen.

Heshen was not only the "Master of Commerce", in fact he was also a member of the "intelligence agency"!
After all, nothing in this world is easier than collecting intelligence information for businessmen.

"I dare not say this!"

Heshen heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Xia Tian cautiously.

"It's alright, there's no need to do these empty things in front of me..."

Xia Tian waved his hand.

In front of the high-ranking officials of the Qianxia Dynasty, he never put on too much airs, but that didn't mean that everyone had no awe of him!

Whether it is personal strength or the control over the destiny of a country, it is all based on one's own foundation. There is no need to use too many class rules to additionally restrict one's subordinates!
"Yes, Your Majesty, most of these dynasties of destiny are discussing privately, hoping that Qianxia will fail in its promotion to a 'dynasty'... They even hope that Qianxia Dynasty will be severely damaged by the heavenly tribulation and lose its ability to expand..."

He Shen spoke.

The road to a dynasty is one of endless fortune and endless disasters!

Every successful promotion will bring huge benefits, but if the promotion fails, there will also be a huge impact.

The dynasty was promoted, but once it failed.

At the least, the Fortune Dynasty itself would suffer a backlash and be unable to advance again in a short period of time. At the worst, the Fortune Spirit, Fortune Instrument, and even the Fortune Heavenly Lake would be pierced, and the Fortune Cloud Sea would be destroyed...

In the worst case, it may not even fall apart.

Xia Tian recalled the fantasy novels in which one ascended to heaven by mobilizing the power of a sect.

Most of them failed, and they never recovered. They waited for who knows how many years for all kinds of treasures to be lost in later generations.

Although the Qianxia Dynasty is now the "number one" in the entire region, if it fails to advance, even if it is lucky, the losses will be small.

However, after the luck is consumed, it will probably take at least one or two years of accumulation to advance again. By that time, other forces will definitely catch up!
"Well, that's not unexpected."

"Our human race is naturally intelligent and can grow faster than other races. But because of this, there are too many smart people and too many ambitions... They don't understand that according to the degree of change in the world today... the gods have already begun to intervene in the Eternal Land..."

“If we cannot be promoted to the Dynasty of Fortune, or even the Empire of Fortune within a short period of time… when those gods descend, we will most likely be lambs to be slaughtered… If Qian Xia can unify this large area, they will also benefit greatly…”

Xia Tian shook his head.

"However, there is also a special case. The 'Malaysian Dynasty' from the country of 'Johor' is looking forward to our promotion..."

Seeing that Xia Tian did not show any angry reaction, Heshen threw out the "good thing" he had prepared long ago.

"Johor? That is Malaysia in the future... Many of those people are from my Chinese ethnic group. It is good to have a friendly attitude towards the rise of the Qianxia Dynasty..."

"Well, let's arrange it so that it is at the front of the line!"

Then, Xia Tian smiled and said.

"Yes!"

Heshen nodded.

"As for the people from the Three Star Country who have the worst attitude... put them together with the people from the Sakura Country at tomorrow's promotion ceremony... I want to see people from these two countries scolding each other..." Then, Xia Tian gave an order with even more interest.

He might still care about the Sakura Country.

After all, there have indeed been some quite powerful forces and outstanding people in its history.

However, there are very few such people in Samsung Kingdom. The much-praised "Three Great Generals in the World - Yi Sun-sin" was just a "deputy general" under Li Rusong sent by China!

However, Li Rusong is not really ranked at the forefront in the glorious history of famous Chinese generals.

"However, for other people, they are uncertain about what will happen during the process of upgrading to the empire... So, they are worried about failure in upgrading. But my Qianxia Dynasty is different..."

There was a flash of light on Xia Tian’s hand.

An item suddenly emerged, which was an item similar to the "Imperial Edict". It was the secret scroll of "Casting Heaven" bestowed by the Eternal Will after resisting the "Catastrophe Creatures"!
[Casting Heaven·Secret Scroll (Xuanhuang)]

【Type】Special

[Explanation] A scroll that records information about the "Qiyun Dao" of the Eternal Land. It will be constantly "updated" according to the changes in heaven and earth.

[Note] This is the "recognition" from the will of the Eternal Land for a territory that has already embarked on the path of destiny and demonstrated great potential.

Xia Tian looked at the scroll and saw a line of words appearing on it.

[To gather the hearts of hundreds of millions of people and build a dynasty of destiny, one needs to overcome the three tribulations of 'heaven, earth and man'! ]

[If you possess the human race's 'Five Great Auspiciousness', you can skip one condition and meet the requirements for advancement... but the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation will increase..."]

[Attention, the Dynasty of Fortune is under the special attention of the creatures of catastrophe. Once you start the promotion... there is a chance that a gate of catastrophe will form...]

According to the records in this "Casting Heaven Palace", in order for a dynasty of destiny to be promoted to an imperial dynasty, three major conditions must be met.

The first is the amount of luck, which is the core!

Because only with enough luck can quantitative change lead to qualitative change...

Compared with the minimum luck of 10 million of the Fortune Dynasty, the bottom line of this Fortune Dynasty has directly increased a hundred times. Theoretically, only those who possess a total luck strength of more than "10 billion" are eligible to apply for the "promotion test".

This is a requirement that is very difficult to meet for most of the current "dynasties", especially those dynasties of foreign races. They can only rely on continuous wars, plundering of other races, or gradual accumulation over time.

However, the human race on Earth has an advantage in comparison.

Because the human race on Earth can obtain extra luck "supplements" given by the will of the Earth.

Apart from anything else, the total amount of luck that the Qianxia Dynasty obtained just because of the breakthrough in personnel was already considerable.

Just because Zhuge Liang was promoted to the peerless genius level, the will of the earth gave 100 million human qi as a reward, not to mention that Bai Qi followed closely and also stepped into the peerless level...

During this process, the number of people who advanced from Golden Heroes to become "Prodigies" naturally increased!

Now, the luck value of this part has exceeded 300 million!
"In addition, in the battles against alien races, whether it is defeating the sea race, rescuing the 'divine turtle' from the spirit race, or taming those alien races... a certain amount of luck will be gained..."

These two together provide approximately 200 million pieces of luck power!

It seems that there is still a certain gap, so we have to mention "Tianyuan Coin" again.

It can be said that his contribution is enormous!
Even, a cooperation agreement was reached with Shen Wansan's "Jubaolou". Now, this Tianyuan coin has been circulated through the "City of Saints" and has entered more than fifty dynasties of fortune...

More than one million fortunes can be gathered for the Qianxia Dynasty every day... Now the total fortune gathered by the Qianxia Dynasty, plus the fortune condensed by the human race of the Qianxia Dynasty itself, adds up to more than one billion.

The first requirement has been satisfied!
The second requirement is the "region" requirement. The range of the luck of the Fortune Dynasty is "ten thousand miles", and the range of the Fortune Empire is a full "million miles"...

This is an extremely exaggerated number.

After all, the former Chinese nation was only thousands of miles away!
Of course, it is not as exaggerated as imagined.

This is because the tens of thousands of miles or millions of miles are, in a sense, "virtual references" and not actually "full coverage". It only requires that the luck of a dynasty itself be able to extend far enough!

Because only in this way can the forces of luck be blessed with luck while expanding territory remotely, thus bringing prosperity to the country.

After all, the territory of the Qiyun Dynasty is vast, but the people's hearts are not stable.

Then, it is very likely that villains will appear everywhere, and eventually, the dynasty will fall apart. The Mongol Empire and the British Empire on Earth in the past are both lessons from the past!

To put it more intuitively, the first requirement only requires the "quantity" of luck, while the second one represents the "quality" of luck!
There is only one dynasty with good fortune, the national fortune is extremely prosperous and the people's hearts are very stable.

Both are indispensable, otherwise, it would be impossible to stretch "millions of miles" without showing signs of collapse...

"That's why I chose to keep most of the people in the 'Sakura Country' under the 'Shenwu Dynasty' and only select a small number of people to join the Qianxia Dynasty..."

Xia Tian said with a smile on his face.

In the eyes of the people of Sakura Country, they themselves belong to the "Jinwu Dynasty" and have great admiration for the "Jinwu Emperor" who was forced to be affiliated with the Qianxia Dynasty in order to protect his own people...

Its luck is naturally very "solid", and "Emperor Jimmu" himself is just Xia Tian's clone, and this part of his luck can also be fully mobilized by Xia Tian...

In this way, the "public sentiment" should also be stable!
"The fourth one is the population requirement..." The current population of our Qianxia Dynasty has exceeded 50 million... If we include those foreign races, it has even reached more than 80 million...

"However, there is still a big gap between us and the Qiyun Dynasty..."

The requirement for the Qiyun Dynasty is one million people, and the Qiyun Empire needs at least 100 million people... The key is that this is still based on "people" as the standard...

As the "supreme" race in the past, the human race has a special status in this eternal land, and in theory, it can provide more luck...

If converted to other races, the required number would probably be even higher!
This is because only with a sufficient "population" and at the same time with sufficiently high-quality "talents" can one ensure continuous acquisition of luck every day, thus maintaining the daily operation of a dynasty of luck!
Now, the biggest thing that the Qianxia Dynasty lacks is this...

However, if one possesses the "Five Auspicious Beasts", this one can be "skipped" directly with the favor of the "Eternal Will"!

Therefore, the three major conditions for promotion have now all been met.
