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

On this day, hundreds of officials stood in the Chaotian Hall.

Everyone was full of energy and exuded a powerful aura.

A person's confidence comes from their own strength and the powerful country behind them.

In the present-day Great Xia Dynasty, resources are abundant, and cultivation is entering an era of explosive growth.

Moreover, it was the world's first hegemon, with a commanding lead.

Even if all the overlords joined forces, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the Great Xia with just one hand.

Xia Zhaoyan, sitting on the dragon throne at the head of the table, exuded an aura of domineering power.

His every move gives people the feeling of being at the center of the universe.

"My dear ministers, twenty-five years have passed since the Great Xia initiated the war."

"We made history by annihilating the demon race, the great enemy of humanity, in one fell swoop."

"The territory has expanded beyond the northern continent."

"All of this is inseparable from the efforts of you, my dear ministers."

Everyone immediately rose to pay their respects, not daring to claim this honor for themselves.

Without Your Majesty, there would be no Great Xia as we know it today.

"Alright, everyone, please rise."

"Next, I will report on the casualties of the Great Xia over the years, as well as the current situation in Tianhuang."

Meng Zhou took a deep breath, stood up and went to the center of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, from the beginning to the end of the war, the Great Xia suffered a total of 150 million casualties."

"Of these, 80 million soldiers perished!"

This number does sound like a lot.

However, compared to the results, it was utterly insignificant.

Xia Zhaoyan's expression darkened considerably.

"The fallen soldiers are heroes of our Great Xia."

"The Cabinet has drafted a long-term reward program for the families of the deceased."

Of course, the loss did not affect the atmosphere here.

After all, in war, people inevitably die.

Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty single-handedly annihilated the demon race.

The benefits gained were enormous.

First, the population size directly exceeded 200 billion.

Then came the harvest of fortune; the Golden Dragon of Fortune is now five times larger than it was before the war.

This has led to a significant improvement in the quality of spiritual energy within the territory.

If the quality of spiritual energy improves, more people will be born with the aptitude for cultivation.

The birth of various spiritual plants and medicines has accelerated, most notably through underground spiritual mines.

It can be said that even ordinary people in the Great Xia Dynasty have gradually abandoned gold and silver currency.

After Mengzhou finished his report, Mu Wenhan from the Heavenly Punishment Division then gave his report.

Don't underestimate him just because he's only the deputy director; those at the same level as him all possess the combat power of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Above that is a Dragon Transformation Realm Master.

However, everyone knows that those people are just the core fighting force of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

The one who truly governs the Heavenly Punishment Bureau is Mu Wenhan.

"Your Majesty, what about that battle in the Celestial Realm of the Outer Heavens?"

"This resulted in heavy losses for many small factions among the human race."

"According to our estimates, humanity has lost approximately 500 billion people."

Not every power can withstand the aftermath of such a major war.

"In the outside world today, the major human powers have completely joined forces."

"They've prepared for the worst!"

Just as Xia Zhaoyan was about to nod, suddenly, the heavens and earth shook violently.

Even the Chaotian Palace, which has now been re-blessed by a powerful immortal, could feel a noticeable tremor.

Zhang Juzheng and Xu Da appeared simultaneously in front of Xia Zhaoyan.

Each of them released a burst of true energy, firmly blocking the way in front of them.

At the same time, his gaze passed through the main hall and looked into the void.

Xu Da's voice was solemn; at this moment, he felt a force of heaven and earth awakening.

"Your Majesty, this is the will of Heaven!"

Everyone, including the officials, was quite puzzled.

What's wrong with the Way of Heaven? It's not like we haven't seen Him awaken before.

With a wave of his hand, Xia Zhaoyan caused the roof of the Chaotian Palace to become transparent.

At this moment, everyone was drawn to the scene in the void.

At that moment, purple light covered the sky in the void.

The laws of heaven and earth manifested in various strange phenomena, which floated in the air.

At the center of these phenomena was a chair formed from the laws of nature.

A blurry figure was sitting upright in a chair.

It gives people a feeling of immense vastness and complete control.

Zhang Juzheng's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Way has officially been restored!"

How is that possible?

The officials were immediately stunned.

There are still ten thousand years until the end of the era.

How could He possibly be officially resurrected at this time?

"That's right, the Heavenly Way has been restored!"

Xu Da nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhaoyan was also somewhat flustered at this moment, as the revival of the Heavenly Dao had caught him off guard.

His original plan was to unify the entire continent.

Only at the very end did they launch the final battle against the Heavenly Dao.

Although the Heavenly Dao is only at the mid-stage of the Human Immortal Realm, as the Heavenly Dao, it possesses a foundation that cultivators lack.

Putting aside everything else, the other party can consume the world's origin at will.

The rules of heaven and earth can be manipulated at will with a single thought from the other party.

They can even influence the rules of heaven and earth.

Realm is realm, and combat power is combat power!

"Xu Da, Zhang Juzheng, do you now have the confidence to block the will of Heaven?"

Xia Zhaoyan looked at the two of them.

At this moment, only these two people in the Great Xia Dynasty are qualified to fight against the Heavenly Dao.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, we cannot guarantee that we will slay the Heavenly Dao."

"But we can definitely stop Him from making a move!"

...

"That's good!" Xia Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although we don't know why He has fully recovered at this time, our Great Xia is not to be trifled with."

At worst, we can just activate the sacrifice summoning.

If two people can't kill each other in a fairyland, what about ten or twenty?

Just then, the blurry figure of the Heavenly Dao suddenly stood up.

The heavenly sound resounded throughout the world.

From today onward, I will be fully recovered.

From now on, I will never have to fall into a deep sleep again.

The people of Daxia frowned; the situation was more serious than they had imagined.

Anyone who cultivates knows what the Heavenly Dao is all about.

Just then, the gaze of Heaven seemed to turn toward the Great Xia.

This wasn't just Xia Zhaoyan's feeling, but the feeling of all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

[Hehe, in the end, we still have to thank Da Xia.]

Because you launched an invasion, causing the deaths of countless lives, the will of all living beings can no longer suppress me.

The reason I fell into slumber before was to defy the will of Heaven.

Xia Zhaoyan's expression suddenly changed.

Even some shrewd officials suddenly realized what was going on.

They realized that all of this was deliberately and secretly guided by the will of Heaven.

Xia Zhaoyan finally understood why the alliance between the two races had been formed in the first place.

All of this is Heaven's way of using the Great Xia to reduce the number of living beings.

Well, He achieved His goal.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao waved its hand and spoke.

I hereby declare in the name of Heaven.

The Great Xia Dynasty was invaded by extraterrestrial demons. From then on, all major human powers aimed to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty!

Xia Zhaoyan was so angry he almost laughed.

They took advantage of my Great Xia and now they want to ruin its reputation!

"Zhang Juzheng, Xu Da, listen to my command!"

The two men immediately looked at their emperor, a hint of anger flashing in their eyes.

"Go up there and teach that guy a lesson."

"Do you really think that just because you've fully recovered, you can tarnish my and Great Xia's reputation!"
