I only want to win over the fairy.

When the feudal system was implemented, the Heavenly Dao mocked Bai Yi, saying that as someone living under an advanced system, he had actually chosen this feudal system that was so far behind, and that he was really going backwards as he lived. However, Bai Yi did not care.

If you ask why,

Who would bother to create incredibly complicated policies and systems for a group of people who are about to disappear from the world?

Chapter 125 Who wouldn't want a capable daughter? (6K)

The Immortal Sect system has been rooted in the land of Kyushu for far too long, so long that tracing its origins has become incredibly difficult.

Even if one person were to temporarily abolish the immortal sect system and place these sects under the rule of the Great Yan Empire, and implement a new system, it would only be a superficial change.

If you wrap a roast duck in roast chicken packaging and tell everyone it's roast chicken, does that make it truly roast chicken?

As long as the core remains the Immortal Sect, whether you apply a feudal system, a county system, or a more advanced system to it, it will always remain the Immortal Sect.

They would still secretly unite as one, calling themselves the "Immortal Sect" under a different name.

So if you're going to do something, do it thoroughly!

Bai Yi planned to kill all these self-important leaders of the immortal sects, implement a hegemonic rule, and make everyone obey the great emperor. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about arguing with the insects below when implementing policies.

He was well aware of the consequences of doing so.

To wantonly commit murder is an act that will be condemned by countless people and will leave a lasting stain on one's reputation.

but....

He's determined to do it!

He had long been annoyed by these idiots. When they were really needed to contribute, they all argued and shirked responsibility. When faced with a powerful enemy attack, they were like useless cowards, only dragging the team down. Some even became accomplices, putting their arms around the enemy and acting as if they were in cahoots.

Currently, Yu Gongyi's prestige, strength, and achievements are insufficient to deter these people, causing the Great Yan Empire to be constrained by these insects no matter what it does. Bai Yi's appearance can only deter them temporarily. In private, these people will still obstruct the empire as before. It's just that with him around, they need to restrain themselves a little. Then, after he dies and Xiao Jinxuan dies, they will divide the Great Yan Empire's assets together, part ways amicably, and everyone can go back to their own immortal sects.

This is what he doesn't want to see. What he wants is an empire that is incredibly loyal, incredibly united, and incredibly powerful, a powerful force that can resist foreign invasion in the shortest amount of time, not a bunch of insects waiting for the leader to die before swarming in and devouring him.

If reform is useless, then kill!

He's going to carry out a massive purge, leaving no one alive—no one who's disloyal, rebellious, or aspires to be a traitor!

It's just a simulation anyway. Even if we killed the wrong target, we can just be more careful next time.

In the seventh month of the first year of the Great Yan calendar, the sect leaders, main elders, and other sects with Emperor-level lineages, including the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect and the Thousand Crane Sect, along with other sects whose influence ranked among the top in the Nine Provinces, were personally invited by the White Emperor to attend the grand ceremony marking the birth of the White Emperor's Imperial Weapon at Vermilion Bird Mountain.

Hundreds of powerful immortals gladly went, hoping to witness the entire process of forging an imperial weapon and to observe why the White Emperor, a being at the Dao Integration Realm, could rival a Great Emperor.

On that day, Mount Zhuque erupted with dazzling celestial light, while dark clouds filled the sky, and a terrifying tribulation of lightning descended.

Three days later, devastating news spread throughout the Nine Provinces: the White Emperor had failed in his attempt to forge an Imperial Weapon, which was destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation. Many powerful immortals who had come to observe were also affected, and none survived. The White Emperor himself was severely injured in the tribulation and disappeared without a trace.

Regarding this matter, opinions abound throughout the Nine Provinces, but only two are truly convincing. One is that the White Emperor's act of killing a Supreme Being with his Dao Integration Realm cultivation was already defying the heavens, and now his reckless forging of an Emperor-level weapon has incurred divine retribution. The other is that a Supreme Being launched a sneak attack at the crucial moment in the White Emperor's forging of the Emperor weapon, leading to this tragedy.

The deaths of dozens of powerful immortal cultivators from the human race caused enormous losses to the Nine Provinces, directly leaving many immortal sects leaderless.

Almost no one expected that the human race, under the protection of two great emperors, would suffer such a huge setback.

In an instant, the land of Kyushu, and even beyond Kyushu, and even the forbidden zones of life, were thrown into turmoil.

"Tsk tsk tsk, with such a good father paving the way, Yu Gongyi is truly blessed."

Browsing through the messages filling the simulator screen, Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh with envy: "He was willing to wipe out more than half of the backbone of the human race to unify the power of the Nine Provinces and hand that power over to his daughter. Why don't I have such a good father?"

"Now I understand a little better why this guy always manages to become an emperor. At crucial moments, he can even make the difficult decision to cut off his own arm, committing the self-destructive act of killing more than half of the backbone of the human race. Even without any purpose or plan, such a person is enough to stir up a bloodbath as a demon lord!"

"But is this guy really a disciple of a righteous sect? How come he does things just like the demonic path, or even more ruthless, leaving no room for compromise? He says he wants to destroy the empire and unify power, and he will never let these powerful immortal sect leaders live. Doesn't he have any compassion at all?"

Bai Ze found it hard to understand Bai's actions. These were the backbone of the human race, below dozens of emperors, each a precious fighting force. Yet Bai killed them without hesitation, and in one fell swoop, it was terrifying.

If she were in charge of handling this matter, she would absolutely never do such a thing.

"It looks just like it!"

Inside the Xuantian Sect, Qiu Yuelian, upon learning this news, immediately popped open a bottle of champagne. She had long been displeased with these so-called powerful figures from the immortal sects.

While she and the Human Emperor Palace were constantly fighting against the ancient demon race, these guys did absolutely nothing. They either sat on the sidelines watching the tigers fight, or they accepted benefits from the ancient demon race, transformed into rare beings, and cooperated with the enemy. They had no awareness or belief as members of the human immortal sect, which almost made her furious.

but...

Will Bai Yi be alright? Although she was happy that these self-important immortal sect masters died, she wouldn't be happy if Bai Yi died along with them.

He'll be fine. He's the White Emperor, after all. As long as he doesn't want to die, who can kill him?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. She was clearly the first wife to marry Bai Yi, but in the subsequent simulations, she couldn't even flirt with him once. Was there something wrong with her strategy?

Or was the reason the two of them got together simply because of circumstances?

Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed. She felt very upset and wronged. She had been trying her best to talk to Bai Yi, but he always seemed distant from her. These two simulations were just about being friends, and there was no further development between them.

"No matter what he does, I'm always the first to respond..."

When Bai Yi launched his campaign against the ancient demon race, she was the first to persuade her master and the elders of the Human Emperor Palace to help as quickly as possible. Later, when the other party sought cooperation, she always obliged. Even when the Great Yan Empire was established, she was the first to swear allegiance, but in the end, she got nothing in return.

She felt wronged; she thought it would be nice if she could at least receive a small gift, write a letter of praise, or remember her.

"Never mind, once I collect all the fragments of the White Emperor, I can give him the memories and strength from that simulation as well, and things should improve then."

She needs to work hard to improve her ratings so she can earn more chances to win prizes and collect White Emperor fragments.

Meanwhile, Bai Yi, who was still immersed in the simulation, became leisurely. Despite having a lot of work to do and many enemies to deal with, he simply took a break.

Because a supreme being from a forbidden zone "emerged," killing more than half of the human race's immortal cultivators and severely injuring him, leaving him missing, he now needs to "recover from his injuries."

That's right, killing numerous sect leaders and elders of the human race and severely injuring the White Emperor were horrific acts.

It must have been the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone who did it!

"The Reincarnation Heavenly Lock is quite effective at crushing small fry. Those who are inferior to me are simply inferior to me. No matter what, they are just easily suppressed and cannot cause any trouble."

On that day, hundreds of human immortals lost 80% of their fighting power under Bai Yi's single move, the Reincarnation Heaven Lock, and were all wiped out in just three seconds.

It took two seconds to announce their deaths and for them to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Raising your hand plus one second to kill someone, for a total of three seconds.

In a normal world, if I were to kill indiscriminately like a certain killing god Zhu Yuanzhang, I would definitely be condemned and severely criticized as a tyrant. Unfortunately, this is the world of cultivation, where I have many ways to clear my name.

I, Bai Di, am pure and innocent. How could I possibly kill powerful beings from the immortal sects of the human race? It must have been done by the supreme beings of the forbidden zones.

If you want to shift the blame to the fact that the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is no longer effective, just say that there was a problem with the forging of the Imperial Weapon, and that you accidentally killed them all. You can also say that they were too weak to withstand the pressure of the Imperial Dao.

Of course, he didn't kill indiscriminately. For those sects that contributed money and effort in the fight against the ancient demon race, even if they were dissatisfied with, resisted, or even secretly tried to stop the Great Yan Empire's policies, Bai Yi wouldn't kill them casually. He mainly killed those sect leaders who thought they were superior because they had the inheritance of the Great Emperor and considered themselves immortals.

They don't contribute money or effort during the war, they only think about their own equity, or even how to profit from it. And then they refuse to do anything about it afterwards. It really puts me in a difficult position.

Before the final battle begins, he doesn't want any traitors or opportunists sitting on the sidelines watching the fight unfold in his camp, so these people have to die.

Fighting against the forbidden zones of life is extremely dangerous. If you fall during the battle with them, the supreme beings who break free of their seals and fight you afterward, having consumed a large amount of their essence and blood, will definitely launch a new round of dark turmoil, reaping all living beings in the world. The harm caused at that time will be ten thousand times more terrifying than killing a few powerful immortals.

In the ninth month of the first year of the Great Yan calendar, dozens of immortal sects, having lost their central leadership, surrendered their imperial weapons, sect techniques, and sect resources to the Great Yan Empire. From then on, the management of these sects completely belonged to the Great Yan Empire.

From this point on, the decrees issued by the Great Yan Emperor were no longer mere empty words, but rather imperial edicts representing absolute authority.

In February of the second year of the Great Yan calendar, the first Immortal Seed Selection officially began. The scope of this selection was so vast that it encompassed most of the Nine Provinces; both its scale and the effort invested were astonishing.

The selection process for Immortal Seedlings lasted for three full months. Those who passed the selection were qualified to become cultivators and embark on the path of cultivation. In order to break down the barriers between immortal sects as soon as possible and make them a thing of the past, Yu Gongyi made more than a dozen Emperor-level cultivation techniques, hundreds of Dao Integration-level cultivation techniques, and several other techniques freely available for people to choose and cultivate.

[Besides supporting cultivation techniques, the Great Yan Empire also spared no effort in providing cultivation resources. Those with exceptional talent and aptitude received the fullest assistance, while those with average talent but special skills in other areas also received resource aid. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the stubborn immortal sects.]

[Achievement Completed - Unification of the World.]

Needle and cloth stamping.

Having a suitable successor to take charge of the overall situation, while you only need to watch from behind the scenes, is an incredibly wonderful experience.

Bai Yi believed that Yu Gongyi was the kind of person who was born to be a leader.

The other person's existence is like the sun—confident, dazzling, and full of passion. She also has the ability to support her radiance, so Bai Yi does not intend to interfere too much with her path of growth.

He believes that he only needs to provide guidance, and as for the setbacks and obstacles that may be encountered in the process, he thinks that is not a problem. The other party will easily burn away these obstacles. Besides, experiencing some setbacks is not necessarily a bad thing.

After you removed the greatest obstacle within the Great Yan Empire, Yu Gongyi governed the empire with remarkable efficiency. Countless mortals gained the opportunity to become cultivators, and countless lower-level cultivators also gained more room for advancement under her rule. This has led to her ever-increasing prestige among lower-level cultivators and mortals.

[What's bothering you is that, so far, Yu Gongyi hasn't found a companion to travel with. This makes you wonder if you should find someone with a better personality to be her friend. However, after learning of your idea, Yu Gongyi expressed her disdain for you.]

"Nothing is worthy to be compared to the sun, not even the stars are my servants. Only those that can reflect my brilliance are worthy to walk alongside me. Instead of wasting time on such trivial matters, you should strive to improve your strength. Otherwise, it won't be long before I catch up with you, or even surpass you."

[You are surprised to find that, without you even realizing it, Yu Gongyi's cultivation has already reached the seventh level of the Dao Integration Realm. At this rate, it won't be long before she reaches the peak of the Dao Integration Realm. Moreover, you have a feeling that, given her talent and strength, she might be able to forcibly prove herself as a Great Emperor even with insufficient power of heaven and earth, or even go further.]

You are quite pleased with this. You've always been the type to enjoy a life of leisure and comfort, so if your daughter can surpass you and allow you to enjoy your retirement, you'll naturally be overjoyed.

"Great."

Bai Yi placed his hand on Yu Gongyi's hair and gently rubbed it, saying with satisfaction, "In this way, you will be able to surpass me, and I will be able to retire and enjoy my old age in peace."

Yu Gongyi frowned. She wanted to question Bai Yi about why he gave up so easily. As her nemesis, he shouldn't only have such a small target. However, the hand that the other party placed on her head made her unsure how to express herself.

You really don't understand anything?

How boring it must be to have no rivals.

Simply becoming stronger is meaningless. The only way to truly enjoy life is to become stronger and defeat you little by little, forcing you to marvel at my strength, admit that I am stronger than you, and become even stronger under my pressure.

"You're still so young, the time when you should be working hard and striving, how can you be so lazy!"

Yu Gongyi scolded Bai Yi with dissatisfaction: "At your age, you clearly have much more room for improvement. Are you complacent just because your combat strength has reached the Great Emperor level?"

“I think we should be complacent.” Hearing Yu Gongyi’s accusation, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly interjected. She felt that she had worked so hard to cultivate to the Emperor Realm, so she should definitely enjoy it.

Playing games every day, having someone to take care of me, and having apprentices to keep me company is enough.

"Is that so? I accomplished at such a young age what others have failed to achieve in thousands of years, all so I can retire early and rest. That's life." Bai Yi echoed Xiao Jinxuan's words, turned his head, and gave her a faint smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, appearing to be enjoying themselves immensely.

Yu Gongyi watched the two of them getting along so well that it didn't seem like a master-disciple relationship at all, and felt a little annoyed. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that her master had often been inseparable from Bai Yi for a long time. At first, she didn't pay much attention, after all, her master was a cripple and couldn't handle his own affairs, so it was normal for him to rely on Bai Yi, his disciple. But now that she thought about it...

There's probably some kind of ambiguous relationship between these two.

After so many years, it would be impossible for her not to have discovered something. In addition, she also discovered that her mother, Yu Gonghua, was always deliberately avoiding Bai Yi, which was obviously not right.

That evening, Yu Gongyi sought out her mother, Yu Gonghua, to inquire about her father. Yu Gonghua stammered and couldn't provide a clear answer. Yu Gongyi didn't press the matter further, simply smiling and saying she wanted a complete family. She then went to her master, Xiao Jinxuan's, residence.

The next day, Yu Gongyi finished her sparring session with Bai Yi as usual. She subtly inquired whether Bai Yi knew anything about her father. Before Bai Yi could answer, she got up and left, indicating that it didn't matter anymore. As long as that person was happy, that was enough. She said that her mother would live with her, Aunt Bai Ze, Master Xiao Jinxuan, and him from now on.

Bai Yi is quite relieved about Yu Gongyi's growth, believing that she no longer needs much restraint and can simply fly freely. However, the matter of Yu Gonghua is truly a headache for you.
