Tomorrow will be stronger than today.
Endless and boundless!
Upon receiving this answer, the former sect leader of the Sunset Sect sat down, fully convinced and at peace.
During the ongoing assembly, Lin Qian discussed many matters with everyone, brainstorming together.
These former leaders of various factions across the Southern Region also shared their thoughts, carefully explaining the conditions in their respective areas to Lin Qian.
Even though Lin Qian was already aware of much of the intelligence, the insights from these locals provided valuable references.
The ideas for improving transportation, in particular, garnered widespread praise and admiration.
The Southern Region comprises 1,972 provinces, each unique and distinct.
If the transportation plans can be successfully implemented, the entire Southern Region will become tightly interconnected, with distance no longer being an obstacle.
Even those with lower cultivation levels will no longer fear the vast distances between provinces, while those with higher cultivation can avoid wasting time on travel, being able to train aboard the cloud ships instead.
The financial strength of the Hua Xia Empire further impressed everyone.
The cloud ships, which are considered luxurious even in the Central Region, were astonishingly common in the Hua Xia Empire.
Although they were still expensive, they were far from rare.
Today's assembly was merely a temporary conclusion; discussing the future of the entire Southern Region in just one day was impossible. It would likely take around a month.
With the entire Southern Region now part of the Hua Xia Empire, a unified standard must be established across all provinces. Each province's short-term goals must also be carefully discussed and finalized.
Unbeknownst to them, this unprecedented assembly had captivated the entire Southern Region, drawing everyone's attention to the content presented on the soul vision devices, making them forget about the previous conflicts.
Since the matters discussed by these prominent figures were directly related to their lives, people across the Southern Region began to debate and express their opinions.
Meanwhile, the large-scale transformation of the Southern Region had already begun. Anyone who had sworn a heart demon oath and received their Hua Xia Empire identification could now work for the empire and earn a salary, contributing to the construction of their own homeland.
Within the Hua Xia Imperial Palace, the discussions about the future construction of the empire grew increasingly passionate.
Gradually, everyone became more engaged, fully immersed in the debates.
In the heat of the moment, some even began to brawl, causing Lin Qian to shake his head with a helpless smile as he personally intervened to stop them.
Fortunately, those involved were rational enough not to use their soul power or blood energy.
However, this experience was unlike anything these former leaders had ever felt before.
Unconsciously, they found themselves more excited about the future of the Hua Xia Empire and how powerful it would become.
A month later, the assembly finally concluded. Everyone departed, fully aware that they not only needed to continue improving their cultivation but also had the responsibility of contributing to the empire's strength.
The Hua Xia Empire's military forces were dispatched across the region, and the Hua Xia Formation began to extend further, with plans to encompass the entire Southern Region within six months.
Meanwhile, the Hua Xia Empire's Imperial Army and Beast Army were stationed across the Southern Region, securing the area.
Seeing this, the former leaders of the Southern Region's factions couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The fact that the Hua Xia Empire had enough troops to cover the entire Southern Region meant that even if all the factions had united, they would still have been crushed.
Realizing this, they all felt a sense of lingering fear, knowing that continued resistance would have led only to death.
Within the Hua Xia Imperial Palace, Lin Qian gently stroked Ye Xin's head. "In the days to come, Xin'er, you'll have to work hard."
Ye Xin leaned closer to Lin Qian, resting her face against his chest. "It's not hard at all. All I can do is help you protect this empire. Besides, with the Chancellor assisting me, don't worry."
"You should focus on finding Father and Mother. Their situation must be dire right now."
"Father and Mother…" Lin Qian's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "When I return, you'll have to change the way you address them."
Ye Xin, momentarily confused, quickly realized his meaning and blushed, playfully hitting his chest while Lin Qian laughed.
Suddenly, Lin Qian silenced her with a kiss, and the two were lost in a moment of tender affection before finally parting.
As Ye Xin gazed at him, filled with longing, Lin Qian gently caressed her cheek. "Don't worry, it won't take long."
"Mm, be careful."
Lin Qian nodded, took a few steps back, and his body began to shimmer with a faint light. Behind him, the space twisted, pulling him into it.
Ye Xin reached out, but her hand grasped only empty air as Lin Qian suddenly disappeared.
Standing there in silence for a long while, Ye Xin finally steeled herself.
"Xiao Qian, when you return, I will give you a perfect empire," Ye Xin vowed, her fists clenched with determination.
Then, without hesitation, she turned and walked toward the administration hall, determined to use the remaining time before her daily training to handle some official matters.
The Hua Xia Empire had just begun its journey; everything needed careful attention.
As Lin Qian's figure was enveloped in the twisting light, he suddenly found himself within a space surrounded by rocky walls. Before him floated a sphere of soft white light.
This place was the heart of the Sifang Province, a small world, and nearby was a portal.
Beyond that portal lay the heart of the human territory, the Central Region!
Having taken control of Sifang Province's heart, Lin Qian could return in an instant. To reach the Central Region, he only needed to pass through the portal before him.
Thus, he had no need to journey through the chaotic Starry Sea, avoiding such a lengthy and dangerous route.
Instead, he would return to Sifang Province and step through the portal to reach the Central Region directly.
Approaching the portal, Lin Qian channeled his energy to open it.
As the vortex-like portal activated, Lin Qian stepped through without hesitation.
Suddenly, the world spun, and the spatial forces tugged at Lin Qian's body.
However, with his blood energy swirling around him, Lin Qian remained as steady as a mountain, unaffected by the disturbance.
After a brief moment of disorientation and pulling, everything returned to normal.
When Lin Qian's vision cleared, he found himself in a valley, standing before a wooden hut.
Behind him was the portal he had just passed through.
Before the hut stood an elderly man, staring at Lin Qian in stunned disbelief as the door to the hut swung open.
Tidying up his slightly disheveled white robe, Lin Qian waved at the old man in front of him. "Hi!"
