Exploring the outer realms with the Starry Sky Battleship was a long-term endeavor, and Chu Yuan was in no rush.
His attention was now fully focused domestically.
The Eternal Grand World was in chaos, and the battles between dynasties had managed to drag many forces into the fray.
Chu Yuan paid no heed to these.
What he needed to do most was to completely integrate and assimilate the powers of the five realms.
Now that Dawu had so many resources, it has entered a stage of rapid development.
During this time, the Dawu Academy had been built in all realms, with students gradually enrolling and the public starting to enter the Civilian Academy for cultivation.
Chu Yuan was deeply concerned about the academy, it was a place to unite people''s hearts and unearth talents.
"Chen Chu, Sea Demon, Tian Hong, Demon Abyss, Yuan Ling, our five realm academy system has just recently been established. Many citizens are still unfamiliar with the academy. We need to intensify our propaganda efforts. Apart from the army, citizens are to be civilians on ordinary days, and soldiers during wartime, providing a constant source of troops," Chu Yuan echoed.
Chu Yuan issued a decree, announcing that he would personally inspect the five realm academies."
In name, he is not only the Emperor of Dawu, but also the president of the academy. He cannot simply stay in the Imperial City. He sometimes needs to make inspections throughout the empire.
An imperial edict was issued about Chu Yuan''s inspection of the Dawu academies.
All the academies are preparing for the event as it''s a great honor to have the emperor present. Every educator within the academy hopes to cultivate outstanding talents and perform well in front of him.
Half a month later.
Chu Yuan officially inspected the Dawu Academy.
This time, he only brought his Divine Army.
Impressively, warships were rising into the sky from Dawu. As the Emperor of Dawu, president of the academy, and teacher of his subjects, Chu Yuan''s inspection of the academies naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Long live your majesty, may your reign be eternal!"
Everywhere the mighty fleet passed, it inevitably drew the adoration of the people.
The stronger the nation, the more self-confidence the people have, walking around with their heads held high.
During the time of Chu Yuan''s fleet voyage within Dawu, he saw in the sky, within the national territory of Dawu, there seemed to be extremely dazzling radiance looming over the sky like a canopy, appearing like a crystalline layer.
This was the fortune of Dawu nation, flowing with humanity and protecting its citizens.
Within Dawu, Chu Yuan could mobilize the boundless power of national fortune, which would even pressure deities like Meng Tian.
The first stop he made was the city of the Sea Demon Realm.
Compared to other realms, the people here feared Dawu more, but contained admiration amidst that fear.
They worshipped the strong, and the current ruler was Dawu, a powerful dynasty that could confront deities.
"Hurry, the Emperor is here, go and see the Emperor!"
"Our Emperor is a heroic ruler, far stronger countless times over than the previous ruler of this realm, the Demon Abyss Dynasty!"
"If the dynasty is strong, then we too can reap the benefits!"
Chu Yuan arrived at the Demon Abyss Realm Academy and saw countless students.
Prior to Dawu''s arrival, cultivation resources in the Demon Abyss Realm were largely controlled by the royal family and wealthy nobles. Ordinary civilians could hardly get any. But with Dawu''s arrival, the situation was reversed, with resources being largely dispensed to civilians.
Dawu established a merit system and a contribution system.
If there are benefits, people will be motivated to contribute bravely.
Those who did not want to surrender to Dawu and accept Dawu''s rule have already followed the crown prince of the Demon Abyss to the Eastern Realm Forbidden Area, leaving behind those who hoped to get more resources in Dawu and witness the difference that Dawu brings.
"That''s the Emperor''s Divine Army!"
"I heard that to join the Divine Army, you need a special ability and powerful strength, at least at the Void God level. The Divine Army is not subject to the control of the military department, and only listens to the Emperor''s orders. Joining the Divine Army is an extremely glorious achievement!"
"But, the bar to joining the Divine Army is set too high."
...
Seeing the sixty thousand Divine Army closely following beside the Emperor, many people showed faces full of admiration.
The thought of not wanting to join the Divine Army was false, even the Void Gods and True Gods wanted to join the Divine Army, but the Divine Army wasn''t something they could join if they wished to.
Once in the Divine Army, resource distribution is not restricted by the court but personally distributed by the Emperor, so all members can use a sufficient amount of elixir. They do not have to worry about resources for martial arts.
Aren''t they desperate for resources?
"Wait until I cultivate in the academy for a few years, then I can enlist in the military, make outstanding contributions, and become a military leader!"
"Who doesn''t want to join the military? But it''s easy to join the regular army of the dynasty, while it''s extremely hard to join the elite troops."
"My brother, with his cultivation at the deity level, joined the Demon God Army, but he was almost eliminated. It''s challenging to join the Demon God Army, let alone the Divine Army."
"If the dynasty calls, I''ll be the first to pick up my weapon and follow the army onto the battlefield!"
Countless students in the academy were looking at Chu Yuan in admiration and clenching their fists. The purpose of their cultivation is to hope to enter the Dawu Dynasty, the Dawu Army.
The arrival of Dawu had disrupted the rule of the Demon Abyss Dynasty and reshuffled the order of power, giving more ordinary people the opportunity to cultivate and become stronger.
