Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Just as the people of Dali City were grateful to the new ruler, the Daxia Dynasty, and were delighted with the series of policies it had implemented.

In the Dali Palace, after many days of preparation, the coronation ceremony of the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Xingyuan, officially began.

Early in the morning, the newly appointed officials entered the palace one after another and gathered in the front hall.

Some of them are elders of Guiling Palace, and some are officials from the previous dynasty of Dali.

Although corruption was rampant among many officials in the Dali Dynasty, no matter which dynasty, there were always some officials who were truly incorruptible.

Or maybe some officials are not too greedy, they know what they can take and what they cannot take, and they really do something for the money instead of just sitting there and doing nothing.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not kill these officials at once, but after assessment, asked them to hand over part of the stolen money and then continue to employ them.

After all, no one is perfect, and no country or organization in the world can completely eliminate corruption.

However, the intensity of the crackdown on these corruption issues depends entirely on the dynasty's execution ability.

The Dali Dynasty did not dare to nor had the ability to regulate it, while the newly born Daxia Dynasty still retained various cruel punishments from the past demonic sects.

For serious corrupt officials, for example, someone withheld the relief grain allocated by the Great Xia Dynasty for the people of Dali City.

Once discovered, he was arrested by the Great Xia Dynasty, skinned and stuffed with straw, and his body was hung at the city gate for the people of the city to see.

This also demonstrated the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty and greatly shocked the officials.

In addition to the officials, those who came to attend the coronation ceremony included representatives from some large sects within the dynasty, as well as some men and women with strange and unique costumes.

They are all small countries in the Canggu Continent with small territories and small populations.

After learning that the Dali Dynasty had been overthrown and the Daxia Dynasty had become the new ruler of this land, they all sent representatives to attend the coronation ceremony and show goodwill to the Daxia Dynasty. This was also the way these small countries governed their countries.

"The envoys from Luoma Kingdom sent a pair of Heavenly Obsidian Golden Buddhas, wishing the Great Xia Dynasty a long and prosperous future."

"The envoy of Yunyu Nation sent a cub of the exotic Thunder Winged Flying Tiger, wishing Emperor Xingyuan longevity and eternal dominance."

"The envoy of Lijiang State sent..."

Envoys from small countries arrived one after another and presented precious treasures and exotic animals in exchange for the Great Xia Dynasty's friendly attitude towards their countries.

"Is this the imperial palace? This is my first time here. It really is the image of a great country, magnificent and grand."

Peng Hetai, the envoy of Lijiang State, muttered to himself as he entered the magnificent Dali Palace and was dazzled by the sight.

Their country is located at the southern end of the Canggu Continent, and they live on the coastal islands. The strongest person in the country is a Taoist monk at the third level of the Daotai Realm. When he came to the giant country of the Great Xia Dynasty, he looked at everything with admiration and longing.

"Why is it said that the Dali Dynasty is the largest country in the Canggu Continent? I heard that the Daxia Dynasty beat the Dali Dynasty without any chance of fighting back. The newly born Daxia Dynasty must be even more terrifying."

The representative of the Llama Country nearby spoke in a low voice, saying that their country was located further west than Tantric Buddhism, and that Tantric Buddhism had once suffocated their country.

Today, Tantric Buddhism has been destroyed by Guiling Palace, the predecessor of the Great Xia Dynasty. This shows how terrible the Great Xia Dynasty was.

Tantric Buddhism, which was able to crush them completely, was no match for the Great Xia Dynasty, let alone them.

As for these small countries, whether it is the Dali Dynasty or the current Daxia Dynasty, their vast territory and population, as long as they do not split, will naturally make them the largest country in the Canggu Continent.

Officials, sects, small countries and other figures were waiting in the front hall. There were also some individually invited representatives, such as the Ning sisters representing the Wanjie Holy Land, Qin Yushang, the new director of the Patrol Department, Wei Yushuang, the princess of the previous dynasty, Shen Baining, the leader of the Jiutian Palace who was once one of the three sects and five surnames, and many others.

As footsteps were heard, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Because a man in a black robe with sharp eyes appeared in the field of vision.

Su Jielong walked like a tiger, standing in front of the high platform of Fude Hall, his eyes swept across the dark crowd of people below, and he said lightly: "It seems that some people didn't come!"

There were many people present, including dozens of envoys and representatives from countries large and small.

Su Jie adapted to his current identity very quickly. After all, he was the head of state on Blue Star, and he also had the final say in the Jeko Group. He could seamlessly switch to the identity of emperor.

As for the emperor, an emperor of a hegemonic country, there were many small countries that came to attend the coronation ceremony and give gifts. Su Jie might not be able to remember who came to give gifts, but he remembered clearly who did not come.

Everyone's heart sank, and the official who took office as the Minister of Rites bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Divine Eagle Empire refused to attend the Holy Ceremony, and the Leizhou Kingdom, Anqian Kingdom, and Shawu Kingdom also did not attend the Holy Ceremony."

Among these countries, the Divine Eagle Empire has always been at odds with the Dali Dynasty and they have been fighting each other for many years. It will definitely not send anyone to the Daxia Dynasty, which inherited the ruling power of the Dali Dynasty.

The other countries are basically small countries that are close to the Condor Empire.

Su Jie narrowed his eyes slightly but did not speak. An invisible pressure enveloped the entire venue. Many of the people present with low cultivation felt their blood almost coagulate and their bodies swayed uncontrollably.

"That's quite courageous."

Su Jie retracted his momentum, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed.

Peng Hetai, the envoy from Lijiang State, was breathing heavily and his heart was beating fast.

Before coming here, I had heard that Emperor Su Jie had extremely terrifying cultivation and was born a peerless devil, but seeing is believing.

As a man with the cultivation level of Secret Treasure Realm, at that moment just now, he felt as if the entire world was pressing down on him.

Peng Hetai had no doubt that the other party could crush him to death with just his momentum.

"This Xing Yuan Emperor, could he have already achieved the state of Void? He is so powerful that it is terrifying."

As thoughts turned in his mind, Peng Hetai became more respectful.

"What's the situation in Dali City?"

Su Jie looked at Zhang Junwei, who was in charge of the torture and pay in Dali City.

Zhang Junwei also knew what Su Jie wanted to ask, so he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have cracked down on and confiscated a total of 618 princes, relatives, wealthy merchants, nobles, and powerful families in Dali City. We have seized 34700 houses, 19000 hectares of spiritual fields, 142 gold and silver shops, 275 pawnshops, a total of more than 60 billion spiritual stones, 1200 million silver and gold ingots, and various magic tools, spiritual materials, and elixirs piled up in 45 warehouses... The total value of the seizures is more than 180 billion spiritual stones."

As Zhang Junwei spoke, countless people at the scene opened their mouths wide, shocked by this series of astonishing numbers.

A total of 180 billion spiritual stones is equivalent to the wealth of three Tantric Buddhist sects, and is absolutely rich enough to rival a country.

However, such a huge wealth was not used by the Dali Dynasty until it was taken into the palace. On the treasury accounts of the Dali Dynasty, if a mouse went in, he would have to come out crying, because the dynasty was so poor that it could not even pay the military salaries.

Among them, Wei Yushuang had the most complicated look. She originally didn't want to attend the coronation ceremony and watch Su Jie steal the show, but she was afraid that Su Jie would use this as an excuse to persecute the remaining members of the Wei family, so she came reluctantly in the end.

Hearing Zhang Junwei's words, Wei Yushuang's fists creaked and her teeth clenched. The Dali Dynasty asked the princes and nobles to donate money, but they refused to give a penny. When it was Su Jie's turn, he was completely drained. Not only did his money become the spoils of the Daxia Dynasty, but his life was also lost.

While Wei Yushuang was angry at the behavior of these corrupt officials, she also felt inexplicably relieved that Su Jie did what she had always wanted to do.

These princes and nobles all received the punishment they deserved. They lost everything they had and their families were destroyed. It can be said that it was entirely their own fault.

"A lot of small change."

In the crowd, Ning Xinyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. This amount of wealth was an astronomical figure for a money-grubber like her.

“A person who steals a hook will be put to death, but a person who steals a country will be made a marquis. Whenever you capture a country, you can always plunder a lot of wealth.”

Ning Yunying said softly that she was not jealous of Su Jie's wealth. It was Su Jie's ability that he could conquer the Dali Dynasty.

Su Jie nodded with satisfaction. With so much wealth, plus the accumulation from plundering aristocratic families and sects all over the world, Su Jie already had enough money to build the remaining three wonders.

This is of great significance to Su Jie. These three wonders are prepared by Su Jie for Han Ruyan, the Thousand-Armed Centipede and the Annual Ringworm, so that the ghost and the two insects can look forward to the subsequent realm.

"The ceremony will begin now."

Su Jie waved his hand, and the ceremonial officers on the scene immediately started to move, leading the musicians to play the Danbi music. Instruments such as big drums, square drums, cloud pounds, flutes, pipes, pipes, stems, stick drums, bound bells, chimes, harps, and zithers took turns to perform. Then there was a huge military review. Su Jie reviewed the monk army in the square in front of the imperial palace.

Tens of thousands of phalanxes of cultivators, spider-based battle mechas, flying magic boats, and the Chiyao Immortal Palace appeared one after another, leaving the small countries dumbfounded and trembling.

The ceremony of coronation has always been complicated. After reviewing the army, Su Jie returned to Fude Hall, where he should have continued to worship his ancestors, but Su Jie was the founding emperor, so he changed the ceremony to worship the founder of Guiling Palace and the ancestors of the Su family.

Then Su Jie put on the dragon robe, put on the crown, took the jade seal, and sat on the dragon throne.

Civil and military officials took turns to attend the court, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to pay their respects to the new emperor, Su Jie.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Su Jie stood up and walked to the Temple of Heaven next to the imperial palace.

This is the place to worship heaven. Whenever a new emperor becomes emperor, he will come here to worship heaven and earth to show that he is the one chosen by heaven.

In front of the Temple of Heaven, Su Jie straightened his clothes, held the imperial seal in his hand, climbed the steps of the Temple of Heaven step by step, and came to the highest altar.

Under the gaze of all officials and envoys, Su Jie used blood as words. The golden holy blood flowed from his fingertips and was written by Su Jie on the jade seal.

"I am the Mandate of Heaven. I am the heart of Heaven and Earth, and I am the support of all people. Now I am building the Great Xia. I hope Heaven will protect me.

From today on, I will implement a series of new policies to revitalize the country, make it prosperous, and ensure the people live and work in peace. I hope you will work together to make this happen and announce it to the world."

After saying that, Su Jie raised the jade seal and threw it into the sky.

Below, hundreds of officials knelt down and shouted, "We are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty and create a prosperous Celestial Empire together."

Su Jie stared at the flying jade seal. Logically speaking, at this point, Su Jie should be recognized by the Heaven.

After all, he had overthrown the Dali Dynasty, ended its corruption and civil strife, and had initial governance of the country. He was a man of destiny who would make it to the end.

At this time, the Heaven should have sent down a large amount of Heavenly Luck, covering it on the jade seal representing the country's destiny and bestowing it on Su Jie. This is what the founding emperors did in the past.

But until the jade seal began to fall, there was no reaction from heaven.

Su Jie's face turned dark. Damn it, the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan World would not want to default on its debt.

He worked so hard to establish the Dali Dynasty just for this, and was still waiting to use the luck of the Tianyuan world to speed up the refining of the moon.

Snapped!
Su Jie took the jade seal and threw it towards the sky again with all his strength. The jade seal flew straight into the sky ten thousand meters high.

Boom! Click!

The sky finally responded, and pieces of calamity clouds quickly formed and then slashed down towards Su Jie fiercely.

The ministers and envoys below were all dumbfounded and looked at each other. How could this be completely different from the records in ancient books?

According to ancient records, shouldn't the founding emperor at this time have merits from heaven, with nectar falling, rosy clouds, purple air coming from the east, golden lotuses, and other auspicious signs appearing? How could a founding emperor be struck by lightning? It's unheard of.

Grass!
Su Jie cursed inwardly, wondering how annoyed he was with the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan World. He even called himself the Great Emperor Xingyuan. Xing refers to the starry sky of the Blue Star Universe, and Yuan refers to the Yuan of the Tianyuan World, indicating that Su Jie had the ambition to rule the two worlds.

As a result, I have become the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan World still rejects me. Does it really think I have no face?

When the thunderstorm came, Su Jie's eyes flashed, and the thunderstorm falling from the void was annihilated bit by bit. Then Su Jie punched the sky fiercely, blasting the thunderstorm clouds away completely.

At this point, the jade seal was hanging in the sky in the clear blue sky. A golden light spot emerged from the void and fell into the jade seal.

Obviously, the inherent mechanism of the Way of Heaven still exists. The Way of Heaven in the Tianyuan world is like a fixed program, and it is impossible to really embezzle Su Jie's founding merits.

But it was estimated that because they rejected Su Jie as an outlier, they simply instilled the luck of heaven in him, but did not create any auspicious scenes with dragons and phoenixes, or the sun and the moon shining together to congratulate him.

But Su Jie didn't care about this. As long as he got the luck of heaven, everything would be fine.

Upon seeing this, many officials below were relieved immediately. They almost became autistic just now.

If the newly established dynasty was not recognized by God, it would mean that they were not destined to be king, which would be a huge blow to morale.

After a moment, Su Jie caught the jade seal in his hand, and feeling the strong destiny of heaven condensed on it, a smile appeared on his face.

It just made Su Jie a little bit strange. Although the fortune of heaven was very rich, it was still a little short of Su Jie's expectations.

Could it be that God is cutting off my rights? Is there any way to make money from this?

Just as Su Jie was muttering to himself, a military messenger rushed over regardless of the celebration, holding up a bloodstained document and shouting:
"Report, Your Majesty, the Northern Divine Eagle Empire is marching south to invade the border. The commander of Yulong Pass, Zhu Tianyou, rebelled and defected to the Divine Eagle Empire, causing Yulong Pass to fall. The Divine Eagle Empire is wreaking havoc on the northern land, and the corpses of the people are everywhere."

The officials and envoys present were in an uproar and their faces changed suddenly.

The joy that Su Jie had just felt for obtaining the destiny of Heaven disappeared, and his face turned cold.

He already knew why his Heavenly Luck had decreased so much; it turned out that someone was taking advantage of his Heavenly Luck.

Su Jie waved his hand, and the document flew over and landed in his hand. After reading it, Su Jie sneered: "It seems that someone wants to take advantage of the weakness of our Great Xia State and come here to rob us!" (End of this chapter)
