"I hope you don't remain lost in delusion…"
The voice faded, and Shi Quan's figure had vanished at some unknown point.
The people present remained in a daze for a long time before slowly regaining their senses and coming to their realization.
Only then did they discover that their clothes were already soaked with sweat.
What should we do?
Most people were still in a state of bewildered panic, while some already had a hint of fanaticism in their expressions.
"We must obey the will of the God and offer the highest reverence to the God!"
...
Reincarnation Palace.
Shi Quan's figure stepped out from the Void Realm.
"Who!" Long Wenhe was discussing matters of the Reincarnation Palace with everyone when Shi Quan's sudden appearance started them.
"Your Excellency!" Long Wenhe's expression immediately lit up with joy upon seeing who it was, and he quickly stood up and respectfully saluted Shi Quan.
Seeing this, everyone in the hall also guessed Shi Quan's identity and saluted him one by one.
Shi Quan's calm gaze swept over everyone, and he said indifferently, "Those affiliated with the Lord's Manor who do not surrender within seven days, we shall raise an army and annihilate them!"
"Your subordinate accepts the order." Long Wenhe's eyes suddenly brightened, and he responded excitedly.
"After the unification of the continent, an Empire will be established, named Reincarnation, with the Reincarnation Palace as the state religion, worshiping the God of Reincarnation. In the name of the God, it will assist the Empire in managing the continent's Spirit Masters and commoners, establish branch halls of the Reincarnation Palace and Spirit Master academies, and guard the continent. Firstly, to popularize Spirit Master education and Martial Spirit Awakening for the common people. Secondly, to facilitate the supervision of Spirit Masters, to eliminate those who bully others by relying on their power, and those who violate rules and discipline."
"Within the Empire's borders, no matter which family's children, their Martial Spirit can only be Awakened by the Reincarnation Palace, registered, and subject to supervision."
"The Reincarnation Palace is supervised by the Palace Lord. All Spirit Douluo on the continent are Elders of the Reincarnation Palace, and Titled Douluo are Revered Elders of the Reincarnation Palace. Elders and Revered Elders are eligible to participate in the election for Palace Lord, held every five years, with a maximum of three consecutive terms. They are not the supreme rulers, but rather chosen virtuous leaders. As the Palace Lord, they must accept the supervision of the Empire's populace and the God of Reincarnation. At the same time, they will also be favored by the God of Reincarnation and receive rewards."
"This is to commend their achievements and also to compensate the Palace Lord for the time spent on political affairs that delays their Cultivation."
"The Reincarnation Palace shall not interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire and has no right to depose the Emperor. However, it has the responsibility to supervise the Emperor. If an Emperor appears to be unworthy of their position, the Palace Lord shall convene all Revered Elders and Elders to investigate thoroughly and discuss. If it is indeed true, they shall be escorted before the God of Reincarnation to receive divine judgment."
"Under the God, no one can hide."
"The God is like a sharp sword hanging over your heads, warning future monarchs to set an example, treat their people kindly, and never act in perverse ways."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Long Wenhe was the first to react to Shi Quan's series of commands and responded loudly.
"If there are important matters, you can come find me."
With that, Shi Quan's figure once again disappeared into the Void Realm.
"Palace Lord, what did His Excellency mean by what he just said?" Everyone looked at each other, and after a long moment of reaction, one of them finally asked Long Wenhe.
Long Wenhe could not hide the excitement in his heart and said excitedly, "His Excellency must have already paid a visit to the Lord's Manor. Those affiliated with the Lord's Manor will surrender within seven days, and even if they don't, they probably no longer have the strength to contend with our Reincarnation Palace."
"We are about to accomplish the magnificent feat of unifying the continent!"
Some of them still said with some doubt, "Is His Excellency that formidable?"
Long Wenhe snorted coldly, "How can His Excellency's power be fathomed by you? Since His Excellency said it, it must be true. You all must remember what His Excellency just said."
"If what His Excellency said is true, we will need to re-select a location to establish the Reincarnation Empire and the Reincarnation Palace, and the candidates for both the Empire and the Reincarnation Palace also need to be decided!"
"I will invite His Excellency to personally designate the first Emperor of the Reincarnation Empire and the first Palace Lord of the Reincarnation Palace!" Long Wenhe's gaze swept over everyone, "Remember, the God of Reincarnation is above, like a sharp sword hanging over your heads!"
"We naturally keep that in mind!" Everyone present showed more or less a look of piety.
In the mansion that Long Wenhe specially prepared for Shi Quan.
Shi Quan sat cross-legged, his figure splitting into three.
One figure meditated, while another frantically absorbed the surrounding energy.
Shi Quan's attention then fell upon the World Seed rewarded by the System.
Within the System's storage space, the World Seed appeared to be a transparent crystal ball the size of a fist, filled with various colorful and strange lights. As the lights constantly flowed, the surrounding space seemed to become a little heavier.
"This World Seed can actually merge with me."
This World Seed needed to be cultivated with one's own body as the foundation and nurtured with one's own power to evolve a World; it could not directly evolve into a complete World.
The energy required to evolve a World was immense. With Shi Quan's current strength, even if the World Seed entered his body, he would not be able to evolve too large a World.
"This World Seed is equivalent to opening a new Cultivation Dao for me. With myself as the World, the stronger the World, the stronger my own power will be."
Shi Quan looked at the World Seed in his hand and fell into contemplation. If the World Seed were planted in his body, it might consume a lot of time.
Now was not the time for secluded Cultivation.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Quan decided to wait until the Spirit Bone Fusion, the absorption of the Earth Vein Dragon's soul spirit, the completion of the Earth Martial Soul's spirit ring, and the condensation of the earth soul core before considering the Fusion of the World Seed.
Moreover, the Fusion process of the World Seed would likely consume a large amount of spirit power. Accumulating more now would also serve as a precaution.
Over the next few days, the entire Reincarnation Palace became busy.
Before even seven days had passed, the Lord's Manor proactively surrendered because the Lord's Manor's only Titled Douluo had voluntarily defected to the Reincarnation Palace, causing the entire Lord's Manor to collapse instantly.
Those affiliated with the Reincarnation Palace almost effortlessly took over the entire Lord's Manor's territory.
Taking over was easy, but integration required time.
However, thanks to the cooperation of the various Lords, everything progressed very smoothly.
Reincarnation Palace, Shi Quan's exclusive mansion.
Streaks of dark golden energy continuously raged outwards, and the violent aura caused the space within a thousand meters to stagnate.
The raging energy did not originate from Shi Quan, but from a unique dark golden arm bone in his hand. The arm bone was about half a meter long, emanating an explosive sense of power from head to toe.
It was covered with intricate patterns, possessing a unique regularity and beauty. The patterns were deep and restrained in color, like ancient and mysterious totems, or like the Context of the earth, winding and thick, as if bearing the mighty power of the earth.
This Spirit Bone was the brand new Spirit Bone formed after the Fusion of the Titan Giant Ape Spirit Bone and the Earth Vein Dragon Spirit Bone. Its powerful energy aura would cause even a 100,000-year Spirit Beast to fear.
With a wave of his hand, the Earth Vein Dragon's soul spirit and a strange crystal appeared before Shi Quan.
The condensation of the earth soul core was now completely ready!
