If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

New Chapter of Longting

Golden Dragon Shines in the World

On the morning of the third day, the imperial city was already bustling with people.

Festive lanterns were hung in front of every household and deep in the alleys.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Civil and military officials, dressed in court attire, stood solemnly beneath the imperial steps.

Nine tripods stand tall in front of the hall, their contents filled with fragrant smoke that rises straight into the sky.

Musicians held their instruments, and ancient melodies echoed in the morning breeze, solemn and dignified.

"The auspicious time has arrived—"

The Minister of Rites' voice resounded.

Everyone couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the main hall!

Tap tap tap~

Footsteps sounded, and Zhao Yu, dressed in a black dragon robe with nine coiled dragons embroidered in gold thread, walked over step by step.

He wore a twelve-tassel crown, with the tassels hanging down, exuding an extraordinary air!

Zhao Yu felt the gazes coming from all directions, some awe-inspiring, some inquisitive, and some with a hint of doubt.

He took a deep breath, his heart as calm as still water. From this day forward, everything would be different.

He ascended the high platform and looked down upon his ministers.

Before the palace, all the officials knelt in unison, their shouts rising like a tidal wave: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The sound soared straight into the sky!

Zhao Yu raised his hand in a gesture of farewell, and his voice gradually fell silent.

Wang Zhang stepped forward, holding a bright yellow imperial edict, and read it aloud in a loud and clear voice:

"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The name of the Great Liang Dynasty is outdated and does not conform to the Mandate of Heaven. The name of the Dynasty is hereby changed to 'Dragon Court,' and this is hereby proclaimed to the world, effective immediately!"

Wow!!!

After the imperial edict was read aloud, the hall erupted in uproar.

The officials had long been speculating about what kind of name this emperor, who came from a beggar background and now had complete control of the Great Liang, would choose for the country.

But they never imagined they would name it after the dragon!

What is a dragon?

The royal families of every dynasty possessed dragon blood; this is the origin of the dragon!

But now?

Zhao Yu actually named himself with the character "dragon," doesn't that mean he is the only true dragon in the world?

Zhao Yu ignored their reactions. He walked to the incense burner for the sacrificial ceremony, lit three incense sticks himself, and inserted them into the burner.

In an instant, the weather in the sky changed drastically.

The once clear sky was quickly shrouded in thick, dark clouds, and the daylight suddenly dimmed.

However, despite the dense clouds, there was no sign of lightning. Instead, golden light shone through the depths of the clouds, gradually spreading and enveloping the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony in a strange halo.

A tense atmosphere spread through the crowd, and the officials and envoys all looked up, their hearts filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, as if some ancient and powerful being was being conceived.

Suddenly, a huge golden dragon shadow descended from the sky. It was not an illusion, but a solid reality, hovering above the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The dragon's shadow stretched for thousands of feet, its scales clearly visible, and its golden light illuminated the entire imperial city.

hold head high--

A deafening dragon roar pierced the clouds and struck straight to the heart.

The officials were awestruck by this miracle and knelt down once again.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

.......

The strange phenomenon did not stop there; instead, it continued to expand in the astonished gazes of the crowd!

When the people of the capital saw the terrifying and enormous golden dragon in the sky, they were all terrified and turned pale.

This dragon was so enormous that when it flew through the sky, just one of its claws was the size of half a city!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

"My God! What is this?!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"The gods are coming down to earth! The gods are coming down to earth!"

After the initial fear, the people were filled with boundless excitement.

However, this strange phenomenon did not stop; instead, it continued to expand!

In the Qin royal palace, the Qin emperor is discussing matters with his ministers.

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of attacking Daliang, it would be best to let Ying Kingdom take the lead first. Ying Kingdom is adjacent to Daliang and has both new and old grudges, so it is most appropriate for them to go first."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although our Great Qin has a strong army and sufficient food after the reforms, there are still many who are eyeing our Great Qin with covetous eyes."

The court officials offered their suggestions one after another, creating a lively atmosphere in the court.

But just then, a sound of panic rang out from outside the hall.

"Oh my god! What is this?!"

"A dragon...it's a dragon!"

"A real dragon has appeared! What a huge dragon!"

In the Qin court, everyone was immediately drawn in and realized something was amiss.

Upon hearing this, the Qin Emperor, dressed in a black dragon robe, stood up abruptly, revealing a height of twelve feet (nearly three meters)!

The Emperor Qin, without any airs, immediately rushed out of the main hall and looked up.

One glance was enough to freeze him in place.

"How is this possible! How can it be so huge!"

Seeing this, the others disregarded etiquette and rushed outside the hall to look up.

Upon seeing the enormous golden dragon in the sky, their faces were filled with fear and uncertainty!

Everyone knows that the Great Liang has changed its name today.

Furthermore, considering the previous sacrificial ceremony to heaven and the strange phenomenon of countless gods and Buddhas coming to worship, they guessed that a strange phenomenon would appear.

Can!

This can't be that big!

At this moment, the golden dragon phantom in the sky seemed to sense something and looked down at them.

One glance was enough to terrify 90% of the people, leaving them weak and paralyzed on the ground.

That dragon's eye was as big as a city!

At this moment, the dragon phantom had grown to a size they could not even imagine!

...............

In the Sakura Kingdom's royal palace, the Sakura Emperor is admiring the cherry blossoms in the courtyard.

A figure appeared, alluring and seductive, yet unrestrained and unbridled.

It was the beautiful woman from Sakura Country who had escaped from the main hall earlier.

"Yoshi, Miss Zang Kong is back."

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Sakura Emperor!" The latter knelt and bowed.

Sakura nodded.

"Miss Zang Kong, this mission was not completed. Tell me, how should you be punished?"

Zang Kong blushed crimson and said, bowing his head, "It's entirely up to Sakura-sama."

Sakura-sama grinned lewdly.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's go and 'pay our respects' to the other successors."

"yes!"

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!

The cherry blossoms that were in full bloom in the courtyard quickly withered and fell one by one.

Sakura Emperor's face turned deathly pale, and she exclaimed, "This is an ominous sign!"

Zang Kong, who was standing to the side, noticed something and looked up, but immediately cried out in pain.

"ah!!!"

Sakura Emperor also noticed, looked up, and saw a golden light pierce down.

"what!"

The golden light, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into the Emperor's pupils.

But a strange wisp of cherry blossom color prevented him from suffering serious injuries.

"Damn it! That damned phenomenon! That damned Emperor Zhao Yu of Liang! I will make him die!"

"Send word: Assemble the army! I will kill him in three days!"

When Sakura Emperor said this, he was eight parts angry and two parts greedy!

.............

Sun Guo and Qian Guo were equally shocked.

After witnessing the unusual phenomenon, the ruler of Qian Kingdom remained silent for a long time before finally ordering: "Postpone the military campaign and observe for another ten days."

Among the other major powers, Qian Kingdom can only be considered one of the least powerful.

It was only because of the unique and abundant geographical resources of Qian Kingdom, coupled with its natural defenses, that it stood out among the capitals of the great nation.

However, they also lack the capability to launch an offensive.

Therefore, regarding Zhao Yu's affairs, apart from the fact that the non-bloodline usurpation of the throne was intolerable to him, everything else was irrelevant to him.

The King of Sun was much more radical. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "This must be sorcery! Issue an order to unite all nations and destroy the Dragon Court within a month!"

The people of other countries who witnessed the strange celestial phenomenon were filled with fear and trepidation, believing that some divine punishment was about to befall them.

The strange phenomenon lasted for a long time, until the golden dragon unfurled, completely obscuring the sun, leaving only a few dragon scales visible overhead, before slowly dissipating...

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after the strange phenomena dissipated, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Zhao Yu's mind:

[Ding! Host detected changing nation's name; system upgrade initiated!]

The Emperor Role-Playing System has been successfully upgraded...

[The Invincible Emperor System is now activated!]

Zhao Yu was shocked. The system had been upgraded!

He thought the damn system was dead because it hadn't appeared for so long.

I never expected it to be upgraded and revamped at this time!
