310 Three Years (1/2)
Time flew by in the Dragon Palace.
Three years passed in a blink of an eye.
In the palace hall, Fang Yuan sat on his throne and gradually opened his eyes, ”I have finally fully cultivated the imperial order!”
The Qi Lake Water Dragon was a heavenly deity with control over the spiritual energy of the entire 150-mile radius of Qi Lake, a manifestation of its abilities.
Each and every rune and inscription on the imperial order were all sacred texts! It contained arcane and unpredictable powers, and were reflections of the laws that governed the realm.
By wielding knowledge of such laws, one could then possess great abilities and be able to harness the spiritual energy of the entire Qi Lake.
”Although it is just a position and not my own power, it is already very beneficial for my understanding of the laws.”
Fang Yuan suddenly thought of the powers the royals held in Da Qian Empire.
Prominent Divine dream masters were naturally of no match to True Elemental spiritual knights and True Divine martial artists. However, if he had the blessing of the heavens in this realm as a dragon, he would be able to fight them.
In actual fact, this was also one of the uses of the imperial order in a larger extent.
Going against such kind of blessings was like opposing the realm it came from and its laws. With Da Qian Empire's natural source, even the Prominent Divine dream masters had to be fearful of such blessings.
”Perhaps…, the purpose of dream masters exploring other realms was not only to search for the source! It was to occupy and control a realm powerful enough to fight with Da Qian?”
Fang Yuan closed his eyes, the situation of the entire Qi Lake appeared in his mind.
However, there were a few spots covered in mist. It meant that those areas were under the protection of powerful forces or arrays, and were most likely occupied by powerful demons. Thus, they appeared as eye-catching as fireflies in the night skies.
”I guess being able to understand the big picture from a look is part of my power as a heavenly deity?”
Fang Yuan flicked his fingers.
”Wooonnggg!”
A force spread across the entire Dragon Palace and lit up the place. The seals used to seal the palace disappeared at once too.
Drums and bells rang as the doors opened to receive the worship of the commoners.
”Sir!”
The tortoise guard and Luo Zhu immediately rushed over and paid respects to Fang Yuan.
”Tortoise guard, bring over the shells ladies and the water dwellers' elite troops to fill the Dragon Palace! As the Dragon God, I will meet my people later! It has to be very dignified!”
Fang Yuan instructed in a majestic and imposing way while holding a jade ornament.
”Yes, Sir!”
The tortoise guard immediately proceeded to do what he was told.
”What's the situation now? What about the spirits?”
Fang Yuan turned and looked at Luo Zhu.
”After you killed the three demons, other spirits were naturally fearful of you! They have already prepared celebratory gifts for you as a sign of allegiance!”
Luo Zhu answered respectfully.
In reality, the moment Fang Yuan obtained the divine position, all these were expected.
Whereas, Luo Zhu did not pay close attention to the matters regarding the humans.
”Xu family's fate energy and mine are intertwined. In the past three years, I could still sense that they were growing well. They have been strengthening their territory till now, and I guess it's time for war…” Fang Yuan thought as his eyes sparkled.
It was the right timing for Xu Ting's troops to be dispatched.
He then calmly ordered, ”After this homage, I will be hosting a feast for the officials and the powerful demons! Invite them over!”
”Yes, Sir!”
As the Qi Lake Water God, Fang Yuan's words were all mandates. Hence, they were all immediately obeyed and properly carried out.
As the lake housed numerous kinds of spirits, it made him realise a certain difference. ”Oh…, even as the water dwellers in Qi Lake reproduce, there are very few demons. There are only around 20,000 demons, and more than half of them are my army…”
As Fang Yuan realised this, he understood something.
Beasts were beasts and demons were demons, they were two different things!
In this realm, although there were many different species of animals, plants and even water dwellers, those who could become spiritually aware and cultivate into demons were the extreme few.
Unless both parents were powerful demons, their offsprings would be born as beasts and had to slowly learn, even if they were to have an innate disposition to be demons.
Due to their restricted population size, their foundation would not be as strong and thus, their position as rulers would naturally decline.
This was the heavenly trend and could not be changed!
Whereas for humans, just in one prefecture, there would be tens of thousands of them! Although most were stupid, they could be trained with basic combatant skills, and with a large enough foundation, the potential for cultivation would grow too.
Hence, humans were the rulers of all; They could grasp the heavenly fate energy and were favoured by the heavenly trend!
”Greetings, Dragon God! May you enjoy boundless longevity!”
At that moment, a group of servants and guards arrived and stood at attention.
Large numbers of water dwellers then came forward and worshipped the new Dragon God. They were slightly uneasy at the sight of the Dragon God.
The two previous Water God's of Qi Lake were both snake demons but this time, it was finally a dragon.
Also, the way the Dragon God killed the three demons made them fearful of him.
”As long as you all do not commit any offences under my rule, you all will enjoy a peaceful and happy life!”
