Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

Within the system space, Xia Zhaoyan had long discovered that the higher his cultivation level, the larger the space became!

Although it doesn't seem to be of much use, at least it doesn't feel as cramped as before.

"System, I want to make a sacrifice!"

The pool of vibrant liquid inside the Cauldron of Vitality is a sight to behold, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.

If this life force were taken out, it could definitely restore a severely injured and dying expert instantly.

This is the primordial life force that has gathered together after the deaths of numerous cultivators!

As the sound faded, the altar emitted a dazzling light, and a spectacular waterspout rose from the cauldron below!

[The sacrifice begins!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained 500,000 Innate Pills, 20,000 Purple Mansion Pills, 2,000 Grandmaster Pills, and 200 Great Grandmaster Pills.]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained 50,000 top-grade spirit crystals, 500,000 high-grade spirit crystals, 5 million mid-grade spirit crystals, and 20 million low-grade spirit crystals!]

[Congratulations, host! You have been resurrected and have drawn 5,000 celestial guards!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained five thousand sets of talisman-level guard equipment!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and extracted 200,000 elite soldiers from across the heavens!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected Mo Ban, a figure from the heavens, along with fifty of his disciples!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and extracted the Six-Fingered Black Knight, a figure from across the heavens, as well as fifty disciples of the Mohist school!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected Xiang Yutian, a figure from the myriad realms, along with his disciples You Niaojuan, Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laotan, and Jin Huanzhen.]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and extracted ten figures from the myriad realms: Guan Zhongxie, Xiao Weimou, Fu Yaohong, Gan Yuyi, Gongliang Shu, Mo Yi, and others!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and drawn the legendary figure Zhu Xiawu! He also commands the two Divine Lords, the Three Evils of the Yangtze River, the Four Staffs, the Five Swords, the Six Palms, and the Seven Elders!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and acquired Tie Zhongtang, a figure from across the heavens, along with fifty elite subordinates!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and drawn the legendary figures Qiao Feng, along with his personal guards, the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun, Song Qingxi, Xi Shanhe, Chen Guyan, Wu Changfeng, and one hundred elite disciples of the Beggars' Sect!]

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan spoke up and stopped the sacrifice!

Looking at the Vitality Cauldron, the vitality inside was now only one-fifth of what it used to be!

[The sacrifice has stopped. Does the host wish to continue?]

...

"No need, you may leave!"

As the light from the altar faded, Xia Zhaoyan's soul returned to his physical body.

"Thinking about it still hurts a little. The destruction of aristocratic families, the destruction of the Samsara Palace, the killing of royal experts, and the daily slaughter by my subordinate forces."

"This accumulated vitality is greater than all previous accumulations combined, and it has accomplished four-fifths of it all at once!"

"However, the reward we received this time was certainly worth the life force we expended!"

At this moment, however, most of the day had already passed in the outside world.

Xia Zhaoyan got up and walked out. The women outside immediately stopped protecting him and came chattering to his side.

They were also curious at this moment, wondering what kind of person would be born this time.

Xia Zhaoyan ignored the resources such as pills and spirit crystals and looked directly at the five thousand Heavenly Guards!

"Xuanxuan, notify the four hall masters of the Heavenly Punishment Division to immediately proceed to my villa outside the city!"

Five thousand celestial guards—such a number is too conspicuous here.

Moreover, five thousand people is the limit for being born at once. If there are more guards next time, they will have to be dispersed and manifested in various parts of Xiazhou!

Shi Feixuan nodded, and immediately took out a sound transmission magic item...

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan waved his hand, and a spatial gate appeared in front of him.

Five cultivators, their auras calm and composed, dressed in ordinary clothes, stepped forward.

"Your subordinate Huang Zhao greets Your Highness, Prince Ren!"

"This is my resignation..."

"Your subordinates Duan Wen... Luo Hongyan... Chen Luozhou pay their respects to Your Highness, Prince Ren!"

...

"Everyone, rise. You will immediately proceed to your residences outside the city to assist the four palace masters in settling your five thousand guards!"

The five men bowed and accepted the order. Upon closer inspection, each of them had a gleam of excitement in their eyes.

Who could have imagined that he would be brought back to life?

Xia Zhaoyan was equally excited. These five people were not people he knew. That's right, they were five commanders of a thousand men.

He is the leader of these five thousand guards!

Xia Zhaoyan was excited because these five people were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, which meant that even stronger people would emerge as guards in the future.

Besides these five, there were fifty centurions, all at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, and the ordinary guards were all at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm!

Huang Zhao and his group of five had already left, but at that moment, a golden light flashed in Xia Zhaoyan's eyes.

The next moment, two different fragrances wafted out from the portal.

Two figures appeared before everyone's eyes, and Xia Zhaoyan was immediately drawn to them.

Her looks and figure were no less than those of the women around her, and her aloof temperament was what attracted him the most.

At this moment, another hundred figures appeared in the portal.

Immediately afterwards, two clear yet alluring voices rang out.

"Grand Master of Fate, Li Zhu, and his subordinates pay their respects to Your Highness!" (The name is fictional.)

"Your Highness, Qingzhi, the Junior Master of Fate, and her subordinates pay their respects!" (The name is fictional.)

Behind them, a hundred people also knelt respectfully on one knee, greeting Your Highness!

"Please rise, everyone!"

Looking at the two women, Xia Zhaoyan admitted that he really wanted to keep them by his side.

Sending out such a stunning beauty would be a waste!

His expression did not escape the gaze of the women around him, so Shi Guanyin chuckled softly.

She walked gracefully forward and reached out to hold their wrists.

"Little sisters, come here, let me introduce you to your older sisters!"

The Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate blushed instantly, lowered their heads slightly, and dared not look at the crowd.

At this moment, they felt both excited and hesitant, their hearts pounding wildly.

The people from the Fire and Wood departments showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Now that her eldest daughter has become His Highness's woman, she will definitely be a princess from now on.

Wouldn't that mean my subordinates' status would rise dramatically?

At least her future status within His Highness's faction has been significantly elevated.

Xia Zhaoyan smiled but didn't say anything when he saw Shi Guanyin's behavior. From the current perspective, Shi Guanyin did seem to have more skill than the other women.

The strength of the two women flashed through his mind.

Name: Li Zhu, the Grand Master of Fate.

Realm: Mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Combat strength: Perfected Dharma Aspect Realm.

Lifespan: 10,000 years.

...

Name: Qingzhi Shao Siming.

Realm: Mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Combat strength: Perfected Dharma Aspect Realm.

With such cultivation and combat power, releasing them wouldn't be of much use!
