Spring came and went, and autumn followed. The wheel of time continued to turn, ushering in the forty-fourth year of Dawu.


    This span of time may seem insignificant for the eternal grand world. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire


    But in these years, the rate at which powerful figures had fallen was unprecedented in tens of millions of years.


    Under the supply of Emperor-grade Divine Pills, Huyan Bo had broken through to the third level of the Gods.


    In the Divine Mountain, he exploited the unmatched speed of the Golden Winged Dapeng to fervently seize Divine Drugs, leaving many factions with headaches.


    Dawu had managed to procure a considerable number of Divine Drugs during this time period — and much of this success could be attributed to Huyan Bo.


    "Although Dawu itself may be peaceful, the rest of the world is not."


    Chu Yuan could teleport to any part of the Imperial Dynasty instantly using his sovereign nation''s ability.


    In this period of peace, the entire Imperial Dynasty was strengthening with a fearsome centripetal force, and everyone was practicing martial arts diligently, fostering a prosperous martial spirit among the populace.


    Yet under this powerful order, private fights were strictly forbidden, with offenders subject to severe punishment.


    This was because Dawu was currently in a phase of ascendency; everyone had a goal and understood that the Imperial Dynasty was in a period of expansion. Opportunities were plentiful, and everyone was contributing to the cause.


    Inside the Divine Feather Realm.


    This was the largest Realm of Dawu.


    The scars left by the war had gradually faded, and with the aid of Dawu, a new order had been established.


    The people of this realm understood that without Dawu, if they were breached by Tianbo Imperial Dynasty, countless people would be killed, and many families would be ruined.


    Most of the powerful figures from the Divine Feather Realm were now fighting in the Divine Mountain World on behalf of their nation.


    Dawu Academy had also been established in this realm.


    At this moment, Chu Yuan was like a god among gods, inspecting the Feather God Realm while embedded in the nation''s destiny. He was like a Sovereign amidst the gods of the Divine Realm, patrolling this world.


    "The major legions of the Imperial City are recruiting soldiers to supplement those in the Divine Mountain World – we should also join the elite legions of Dawu!"


    "Indeed, it would be great to be part of His Majesty''s Divine Army!"


    "Yes, the Divine Army is not subject to the Ministry of War''s orders. It is the sovereign''s personal army, and receives orders directly from the sovereign. It has the best benefits, but the entrance requirements for the Divine Army are very high. Despite multiple expansions, it comprises of only over a hundred thousand people."


    "One shouldn''t stay within the Feather God Realm; they should head to the battlefield to earn the most contribution points."


    ...


    Everyone was busy as joining a legion was considered a matter of immense honor.@@@@


    Now, he had fifty balanced battleships, thirty defensive ones, and twenty offensive ones.


    "The more battleships, the better. They''ll come in handy for exploring outer spaces and the Divine Mountain."


    Chu Yuan said, "Use sixty thousand Destiny Points to purchase a realm upgrade."


    His realm instantly advanced to the ninth level of the Celestial God.


    The sixteen Divine Ability Fruits helped him raise the Great Splitting Technique to level six.


    "Activate the random draw."


    Chu Yuan said.


    "Ding! Host has activated the random draw, obtained 3 Death-Substitute Dolls."


    Death-Substitute Doll: A special puppet, capable of exchanging places when faced with a fatal blow, to block a strike for the host.


    Chu Yuan looked at the Death-Substitute Doll. It was only the size of a palm, carved out of wood. Although it had no facial features, as long as it contained traces of his aura, it would transform to look like the host, and block one fatal strike at critical moments.


    "Death-Substitute Doll, to specifically counter assassination."


    Chu Yuan said.


    He knew that what powerful forces feared was not direct confrontation, but backstabbing. Even a power like the Empire, when faced with the Shadow Valley, would find it troublesome.


    If the ancestor of the Feather God Sect had a Death-Substitute Doll, perhaps he wouldn''t have died.


    "Your Majesty!"


    One day, Huyan Bo urgently returned from the Divine Mountain World.


    "What happened in the Divine Mountain World?" asked Chu Yuan.


    "Your Majesty is wise. There have been significant changes in the Divine Mountain World."


    Huyan Bo said, "Recently, the core forces of the Eastern Region have gradually dissipated, and many factions have slowly infiltrated. Just yesterday, that power completely vanished, and all the major factions are pressing their armies into the core area."


    The core area was connected to the Central Region of the Divine Mountain World and was the most mysterious area.


    Unquestionably, the treasures in the core area were greater than half of the Eastern Region combined.


    "That core area is known as the Origin Land by various factions. It is supposed to be the origin of the Divine Mountain. I have been to the Origin Land several times, and it was indeed littered with treasures."


    Huyan Bo said.


    "The Origin Land."


    Chu Yuan also showed strong interest in the Origin Land. After some contemplation, he said, "Other than leaving the necessary defense forces, gradually move our army into the Origin Land. The Ancestor of the Feather God Sect was rumored to have died there, and I am very interested in that place. We can''t lag behind others. The Origin Land of the Divine Mountain is a region we must set foot in."
