The city gate was shattered, the army of Dawu stormed in with an intimidating might. They roared loudly and charged into the Imperial City!


    The countenance of all the powerhouses of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty took a drastic turn.


    They never expected that the city would fall so quickly. Seeing the dense crowd of Dawu soldiers, like a tide, sent tingles up their spines.


    Having established their nation for tens of thousands of years, dominating the middle domain for a similar duration, they never thought that one day, they would be invaded, tasting the threat of annihilation.


    "Kill!"


    Although the Imperial City had fallen, the Emperor of Xuanzun had no intention of surrendering. He decided to persist, even if he had to die in battle, he would never surrender to Dawu.


    Ning Xiuchen looked scornful, directly challenging the Emperor of Xuanzun.


    The sky shattered, the entire firmament seemed dyed red with blood. Everywhere, there were sounds of fierce fighting, leaving piles of corpses and bones strewn everywhere.


    Wu City in the East Martial Domain.


    Chu Yuan was receiving reports from the front lines one after the other.


    "Void God Fifth Level!"


    His aura suddenly surged, breaking through from the Fourth Level of Void God to the Fifth Level.


    During the battle with the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty, many True Gods were beheaded, and these Laws of the True Gods were all devoured by him through the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, helping him to break through a realm.


    "The war has been decided."


    A smile came over Chu Yuan''s face.


    "Your Majesty, is the military situation at the front lines settled?"


    Luo Yueying appeared from the inner chamber, her every movement exuding an imposing elegance.


    She was now Chu Yuan''s intimate confidante, the queen of Dawu.


    "It has come."


    Chu Yuan pulled her to his side.


    "Indeed, the Royal Duke of Loyalty and Valor has already sent the military intelligence. The Dawu forces have broken through the Imperial City of Xuanzun, Ning Xiuchen has captured the Emperor of Xuanzun. Many True Gods were either beheaded or surrendered. Now the army is stationed inside the Imperial City, accommodating the remnants of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty''s army and appeasing the public."


    Chu Yuan was not surprised at all that the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty had fallen so quickly.


    Asking Ning Xiuchen to annihilate a country was simply bullying them.


    "After all, the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty was a country, so this time you have a lot to deal with after its annihilation."


    Luo Yueying said.


    Managing a nation is as complex as managing a clan, sometimes governing a nation is even more troublesome than a clan.


    She had been the leader of a clan, so she knew the difficulties involved.


    The fall of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty left countless clans in smoke and ashes. It was not enough for Dawu to just occupy the territory, they also needed to send a large number of people to stabilize the situation and truly assume control over their land.


    Even knowing Chu Yuan''s intentions, there was no way to resist, otherwise what awaited him would be annihilation.


    Who dares disobey the orders of the Martial Emperor?


    If one does not obey, they can expect the Great Wu army at their city gates by dusk, ready to annihilate you outright.


    This Great Wu was too domineering.


    Kind to its own people.


    Ruthless to outsiders.


    As long as you are a citizen of Great Wu, the Martial Emperor is a benevolent King.


    But if anyone were to be his enemy, the Martial Emperor would become a fierce Demon God, annihilating enemies without batting an eye.


    "Zhu City will proceed to the Great Wu. In the future, there will be no more cities, just the Zhu Family, the subjects of the Great Wu."


    The True Gods of Zhu City are also rushing to the Martial Domain.


    Not only them, but the leaders of all the forces in the Five Domains are rushing towards the Martial Domain, swearing allegiance to the Great Wu.


    The actions of the Great Wu are very swift, Chu Yuan had chosen people from the court to be ready to take control of the Central Mysterious Region during Lu Qianfu''s attack.


    For Chu Yuan, it was not difficult to subdue the strongmen, they could be controlled with military might and benefits.


    The trickiest part was to win the hearts of the people, to let these subjects recognize from the depths of their hearts that they are citizens of the Great Wu, and to contribute their faith to Chu Yuan.


    The more citizens there were, the more faith there was, and the more majestic his River of Humanity would be.


    A river, a heavy sky.


    The River of Humanity could not only bring benefits to Chu Yuan but also bless the entire nation, allowing them to feel the power of humanity, increasing the speed of cultivation, and stimulate their potential.


    This time, because the Great Wu has annihilated the Mystical Monarch nation in a most powerful stance, no one dared to cause trouble.


    In order to win over the hearts of the masses, you must first provide them with benefits.


    If the people are well-fed and content, receiving benefits, and leading a carefree life, they will remember your kindness.


    The welfare was swiftly disseminated down to every individual in the form of spiritual rice, and then let the official administrations register households and distribute the elixirs.


    This time, a new benefit was introduced, ''Baihua Brew''.


    The Baihua Brew was not intoxicating but had a strong aroma of a hundred flowers. Drinking it enhanced the body and had many benefits for cultivation.


    Great Wu academies were also being built in various places in the Central Mysterious Region, allowing children to enroll and strong experts to serve as their tutors.


    With these benefits, it would not take long for the Mystical Monarch Dynasty to be forgotten as history, with only his Great Wu Dynasty left in people''s memories.


    "Hail to the Martial Emperor!"


    Chu Yuan didn''t need to worry about these measures. He just needed to steer the overall direction, like the helmsman of a big ship, and leave the rest to the court to handle.


    A few days later, Chu Yuan appeared in the Mystical Monarch Imperial City, greeted by a large number of soldiers who had come to welcome his royal presence.
