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

The Butian Sect in the Tianhuang Mountains!

The Western Continent's overlords, the Tianxuan Dynasty and the Shenxiao Dynasty...

The Great Martial Dynasty of the Northern Continent, the Myriad Elephants Dynasty of the Southern Continent, the White Lotus Sect of the Eastern Continent, and so on.

At this moment, all the dominant forces in the world came to the interlayer of space.

They gazed towards the direction of the Great Xia!

The shock I felt was beyond words.

Even forces spanning several cycles of time are now facing tremendous internal turmoil!

Within the Great Xia territory, countless people were staring into the void at this moment.

Although the Heavenly Dao avatar disappeared there, the powerful figures under His Majesty's command still shone in the void.

Suddenly, it was the officials in the court who were affected.

They all bowed and paid their respects to Xia Zhaoyan without prior arrangement.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and surprise.

As an official of the imperial court, I certainly know the significance of what is happening today.

"May our Emperor live forever! May the Great Xia Dynasty live forever!"

Next, the people of the imperial city also joined in the worship!

...

Xia Zhaoyan stood up, and a massive Dharma image rose behind him!

This statue clearly replicates his appearance.

He wore a crown with tassels and a black imperial robe.

All the people in the imperial city could see the Dharma image simply by looking up.

"All beings, rise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial rift appeared in the void.

A dozen or so figures, exuding a fierce aura of battle, stepped out.

Countless eyes turned to them, filled with respect and awe.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Dao avatar has been defeated!"

Logically, the coronation should have ended by now, and the next step should be the new emperor bestowing titles and honors.

However, Xia Zhaoyan was not in a hurry to return to the palace.

Instead, he deliberately spoke up here.

"Very good, my lords have not disappointed me!"

"The myth of Heaven's Way is shattered in my Great Xia Dynasty from this day forward!"

These words caused a dramatic change in the expressions of all the forces in the world!

Even the immortal beings who have lived through countless reincarnations are filled with envy mixed with apprehension at this moment!

"I hereby declare that, effective immediately, all worship of the Heavenly Dao is prohibited within the territory of the Great Xia!"

"The propagation of beliefs in the Way of Heaven is prohibited, and all temples related to the Way of Heaven must be demolished!"

Xia Zhaoyan's words appeared in the void under the blessing of fortune.

Although he has not yet become a dynasty, after refining his fortune, he already holds the power of Heaven.

An imperial edict is a decree of law!

All existence concerning the Way of Heaven is forbidden.

This decision means making a complete enemy of the entire Heavenly Dao system of Tianhuang!

Countless people's expressions changed, even the founding emperor and others.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but wear a solemn expression.

Xia Zhaoyan's expression remained calm, but in his heart he was planning the famous plan to destroy the mountain and demolish the temple!

Successive emperors tolerated the spread of the influence of the Way of Heaven among the common people.

It is permissible for some descendants of powerful figures to portray their ancestors as deities, using special techniques to conceal the souls of deceased ancestors within the statues.

As long as people don't rebel against the dynasty, no one cares about the various temples and beliefs among the common people.

However, I will not tolerate it; the dynasty aims to unify the people's beliefs.

There is only one source of faith, and that is the ruler of the dynasty.

Any other faith must be condemned as heresy!

...

The people in the Chaotian Hall were the same people as before.

The only difference is the addition of Bai Yujing and high-ranking officials from the Underworld.

However, the throne now belongs to the young Xia Zhaoyan.

...

"My esteemed subjects, please rise."

Xia Zhaoyan suppressed his excitement at this moment, as it had been more than twenty years since he was granted the title of king.

He finally sat on the throne he had always dreamed of.

"My coronation ceremony today is unprecedented and will never be repeated."

"I know some of you are worried right now!"

"But time will prove me right."

After saying that, he glanced at the thousands of officials below.

Their gaze fell upon the Prime Minister.

Meng Zhou immediately stood up and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, this time the Jade Palace and the Underworld are joining forces to fight against the Heavenly Dao."

"I believe their achievements are comparable to those of expanding territory."

"Therefore, I request that rewards be bestowed upon the two great powers!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the officials in the hall, being so astute, understood.

I instantly understood that this was His Majesty's intention.

It was just said through the Prime Minister's mouth.

No one will stand up and oppose this at this critical juncture.

Not to mention offending His Majesty, just the dozen or so Dragon Transformation Realm experts in the court made it difficult for the officials to breathe!

So everyone stood up and agreed with Meng Zhou's suggestion.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xia Zhaoyan's eyes at this moment.

Now that he had become the Xia Emperor, he naturally had to give his subordinate forces official titles.

"My esteemed ministers are right. Without the Jade Palace and the Underworld, today's ascension to the throne would be a disaster."

"A decree is hereby issued: effective immediately, a Hall of Offerings shall be established in the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"Its status is equivalent to that of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau and the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"There is a Temple Master, a Deputy Temple Master, and worshippers!"

"The underworld and the Jade Palace are included in the offering hall."

"The Underworld Emperor and Martial Emperor, representing the two major powers, are appointed as Deputy Hall Masters of the Offering Hall!"

"The rest are for offerings!"

Xia Zhaoyan had not forgotten that he also had the Tianji Pavilion under his command.

However, it is not the right time for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to emerge.

By bestowing official status upon his subordinate forces, Xia Zhaoyan was making plans for the future of the dynasty.

Once the Great Xia Dynasty becomes a dynasty.

Only those with official status can enjoy the full blessing of good fortune.

This point is clearly recorded in the fortune information that the Qiankun Cauldron provides to itself.

Those without official status are destined for the worst treatment.

Like ordinary people in a dynasty, they can only enjoy the benefits of building a foundation of fortune and simple protection.

Even so, it's still an incredible stroke of luck.

At the very least, the Qi Foundation Establishment allows those who cannot cultivate to embark on the path of cultivation.

With simple protection of one's luck, as long as one is within the luck cycle, one will not be afraid of ordinary evil spirits getting close.

...

The court assembly continued, and Chu Ling'er was officially established as Empress!

Shi Guanyin, Wanwan, and several other women were bestowed the title of Imperial Concubine, second only to the Empress!

With that, the affairs of Xia Zhaoyan's harem came to an end.

"My beloved ministers, the Great Xia Dynasty has existed for nearly 110,000 years."

"The noble families and powerful clans that were once granted fiefdoms by the founding emperor have long forgotten their mission!"

"They monopolized cultivation resources within the territory, placing their families above the imperial court."

"They have become rotten, a malignant tumor on the Great Xia."

"Therefore, I hereby announce that, effective immediately, all noble titles are hereby revoked."

"The major noble families have been demoted to ordinary families and forced to return the mansions bestowed upon them by the imperial court!"

"Immediately, move out of the inner city area!"

boom!!

The sound exploded in the minds of all the officials.

Although His Majesty had said more than once before that he would strip Xun Gui of his title.

But when that moment actually arrived, it still stirred up a huge wave in everyone's hearts!

After losing the five great ducal families, the noble class had completely declined.

That's because there's no one at the Dragon Transformation Realm to oversee things.

However, there are still more than two hundred shattered realms inside.

There are several hundred people at the Celestial Realm level combined!

With such comprehensive strength, who can compare to it except the royal family?

Yet, this very class has been completely stripped of its status and privileges by a single sentence from the Xia Emperor.

From now on, resources will visibly shrink.

We're about to be completely reduced to competing with the cultivation world!

Most of the officials were gloating at this moment.

How could someone who is pampered and privileged compete with the major forces in the cultivation world?
