Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 108 The puppet ascends the throne and begins to gather the fortune of the world.

Royal Palace of Holy Grace.

This magnificent architectural complex, which once symbolized supreme power and luxurious glory, has long lost its former majesty and tranquility.

Although the area around the palace has temporarily returned to calm due to the strong suppression of the rebels by the royal guards.

But inside the palace, chaos and panic still reigned.

Those royal family members, court nobles, and palace maids who usually acted arrogantly and lived in luxury were already terrified by the shouts of killing and the smell of blood outside.

They were all like headless flies, running around the palace aimlessly, or hiding in some corner, trembling and praying for divine protection.

However, their gods clearly did not hear their prayers.

Instead, a self-proclaimed "Heavenly Emperor Yao," who claimed to be "ordained by Heaven to save all people," led thousands of indignant citizens into the once heavily guarded but now undefended palace.

When those ordinary people, ragged, emaciated, and filled with deep-seated hatred for the royal family, stepped into the legendary, magnificent, and otherworldly royal palace for the first time, led by Ming Shiyin, and witnessed firsthand...
Utensils made of gold, floors paved with jade, and beds decorated with pearls and agate!

as well as…

Those royal family members and court nobles who, even when the nation was in peril and starving people were everywhere, still wore fine silks and satins, enjoyed delicacies from land and sea, and lived a life of extravagance and debauchery.

Their anger was instantly ignited!
"Dog King, vampire!"

"We can't even get enough to eat? And you're here indulging in debauchery!!"

"Kill them...kill these bastards who don't care about the lives of ordinary people!!"

An angry roar echoed throughout the entire palace!

If it weren't for Ming Shiyin, Pei Qinhu, and the well-equipped Imperial Guards present to keep them in check, these people, who were already blinded by rage, would probably have rushed forward immediately and torn these nobles, who were usually so high and mighty, to shreds!
Even so, the royal family members and court nobles were so terrified by this tangible anger and murderous intent that they were practically spitting out their own bodies and soiling themselves.

They all knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for forgiveness.

The scene was, for a time, extremely "harmonious".

And it was in this excellent situation where the people supported him and the royal family submitted to him.

Ming Shiyin.

This savior finally arrived before the old, senile king of the Holy Grace Kingdom, who was already paralyzed with fear on his dragon throne.

His face still wore that compassionate, merciful expression.

His voice remained as elegant and magnetic as ever, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Your Majesty, you saw it all, didn't you?"

He pointed to the indignant crowd outside the palace.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

The will of the people is determined by Heaven.

"The Holy Grace Kingdom is now enraged by the heavens and resentful of the people, and its fate is sealed."

For the well-being of the kingdom's many citizens, and for the sake of your and your family's dignity.

"You should sign this abdication edict."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Ming Shiyin sent a pre-prepared abdication edict, its wording earnest yet its content brimming with an undeniable air of refusal, to the old king.

The old king looked at the edict, then at the menacing crowd outside the palace, and at the enigmatic young man before him, whose smile concealed a dagger and whose strength was unfathomable…

he knows.

I have no other choice.

Finally, he did it himself, his hands trembling.

The imperial edict that determined his and the fate of the entire kingdom was stamped with the jade seal, symbolizing the kingdom's supreme power.

The Kingdom of Holy Grace.

The king abdicated!
The news spread like wildfire once again.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the ruler Ming Shiyin and with the support of the people, the reign of Emperor Yao was declared.

An unknown young puppet, who supposedly possessed a trace of royal blood but whose family had long since fallen on hard times, and who was known for his honesty, kindness, and lack of ambition, became the new Holy Grace King after a hasty yet grand coronation ceremony!
Of course, everyone knew perfectly well that this new king was nothing more than a mascot placed before Ming Shiyin.

The one who truly controls everything in this country is that person who is infallible in his plans and whose methods are extraordinary.

And Ming Shiyin, the Lord of Yaotian, possesses the strength of a level 96 Super Douluo.

And the mysterious and powerful Yaotian organization behind him.

After the new king successfully ascended the throne, Ming Shiyin immediately began his sweeping reforms as the regent and protector of the state.

First, clean up the bureaucracy and severely punish corrupt officials.

All corrupt officials who colluded with the old royal family or took advantage of the chaos to plunder and oppress the people will have their homes confiscated, be dismissed, and those with serious offenses will be beheaded.

The vacant positions were then filled by those talented and virtuous individuals who had been recruited into the Yaotian organization in advance.

Secondly, the granaries were opened and grain was distributed to appease the people.

A portion of the enormous wealth confiscated from the homes of corrupt officials, as well as the gold and silver treasures accumulated over hundreds of years in the royal treasury, will be taken out.

The funds will be used to provide disaster relief, reduce or exempt taxes, and stabilize prices!

These measures instantly brought relief to ordinary people who had been suffering during the civil unrest.

They were deeply grateful to Ming Shiyin and the Yaotian Organization, regarding them as living deities.

Then came the strengthening and expansion of the military.

Pei Qinhu, this fierce warrior, was exceptionally appointed by the new king as the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom, with full authority to reorganize and expand the kingdom's army.

He not only thoroughly imprinted the elite troops he had previously controlled with the mark of Yao Tian, ​​but also selected the strongest and most capable soldiers from the captured rebels and the defeated soldiers who were utterly disillusioned with the old royal family, and reorganized them.

In just half a month, a new army, well-equipped, well-trained, and filled with fanatical worship of Ming Shiyin and Yao Tian, ​​had already taken shape.

Ming Shiyin, this level 96 Super Douluo, would occasionally and unintentionally release his vast and unfathomable soul power pressure above the capital.

That terrifying aura, powerful enough to change the very fabric of the world and command the submission of all things, not only extinguished the thoughts of those treacherous villains within the Holy Grace Kingdom who still harbored ill intentions, but also...

It also successfully deterred other surrounding kingdoms that had been eyeing the Holy Grace Kingdom as a lucrative prize, hoping to seize the opportunity to get a share.

Are you kidding me? !

A nation with a level 96 Super Douluo in charge, and this Super Douluo also controls a mysterious and powerful Yao Tian organization!

Who would dare to provoke them?!

Do you want to die?!
Thus, under Ming Shiyin's series of swift and decisive reforms, which combined both soft and hard approaches,
The Kingdom of Holy Grace.

This small country was on the verge of collapse due to its incompetent king, infighting among the princes, and years of natural and man-made disasters.

In a mere two weeks, it all happened.

It miraculously stabilized.

With the internal strife quelled and public support gradually restored, the nation's strength began to recover at a visible pace.

It even shows signs of surpassing the past.

The negative effects caused by the king's incompetence and internal strife were also completely erased by an invisible hand.

And the creator of all this—Ming Shiyin—is standing at the highest point of the Holy Grace Palace, looking down at the revitalized palace below.

And the capital city has been completely branded with his Yao Tian mark.

His bewitching phoenix eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light.

"The Kingdom of Holy Grace... Heh, this is just the beginning."

"Your Excellency, your grand blueprint for gradually securing an everlasting destiny..."

"Shiyin will surely help you achieve your goals step by step!"
