"What about the Flowing Gold Sea?"
"Most of the Flowing Gold Sea was originally under Dashun's rule. Chasing away the Northern Court resulted in significant losses for Beiting, but Dashun didn't gain much.
Dashun's Great Ancestor was ambitious, but the current second Emperor prefers internal development, like digging canals, building wonders, researching the Divine Power Order, and establishing the Martial Arts Hall... He is quite conservative in terms of expanding territories, which is one reason why he ascended the throne."
"This..."
Xie Hongyu was speechless, holding the letter tightly enough to crease it, feeling an indescribable frustration.
His own grandfather had gone through immense hardship to unify the Nine Villages, gather Long Qi, and create the True Dragon. But the arrival of King Huai ruined everything, treating their Southern Frontier as a stepping stone to jump to Beiting, cunningly obtaining the Yi Fruit to create his own True Dragon!
