Chu Yuan stood still, merely saying, "Speak."
"According to the ancient books I've read," began Lu Qianfu, "The Black Vast Imperial Dynasty is a four-star empire which has existed for thousands of years. Its king, the Black Vast Emperor, has achieved the level of Almighty. Emperor Lin Yuan, the founder of the Great Sheng, was originally a member of the Black Vast Imperial Dynasty before he set off to establish his own empire.
The Black Vast Dynasty has a connection with the Great Sheng and has always been domineering. Over the years, it has absorbed many one-star and two-star empires. Land area and the number of powerful individuals are extraordinarily high within this nation."
Said Lu Qianfu.
"So they have a strong backing."
Chu Yuan calmly said, "Even though the Great Sheng has a relationship with the Black Vast Imperial Dynasty, if the Black Vast Imperial Dynasty dares to invade my Dawu, it will result in a war. What's most important right now is to enhance our empire's strength."
"Your Majesty, Great Treat, Great Law, Great Sheng, the three nations have submitted their surrender." A minister reported at this time.
It did not come as a surprise. After the destruction of the Great Sheng, the emperors of the three nations had fallen and the elite forces were virtually wiped out.
The three nations are now merely shell entities with little to no threat. Rather than waiting for Dawu to destroy them completely, it is better to surrender honestly and receive favourable treatment.
"This is good, those who understand the times are great men. Command the six ministries to quickly send people to take over these three empires, prepare a list for me, I will make new appointments."
Chu Yuan added, "Although Dawu has become a two-star empire, we have yet to peak the God Realm. For this war of nation eradication, those who have merit will be rewarded generously. The person who contributed most to this war will be awarded the title of Loyal and Brave Marquis, bestowed a potion for healing injuries, the Hidden Dragon Spear, as well as a million law crystals."
His number one general, his most loyal minister, is Lu Qianfu.
The Hidden Dragon Spear is of no use to him, but swords and spears are used by generals in the battlefield. It can significantly elevate Lu Qianfu's power, and with the healing potion, he can attempt to break into the God Realm.
Governing a country is not a one-man job. Although Chu Yuan possesses strong military power, he cannot be everywhere at the same time. He also needs powerful and competent loyalists within his ranks to help maintain the order of the empire.
A million law crystals might not be much, but the Hidden Dragon Spear is a divine artifact. It used to be a symbol of the Great Sheng empire and gifting it to the Loyal and Brave Marquis shows how much Chu Yuan values him.
"Hun Dun, Tao Tie, Tawu, Po Ji, and Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, leaders of the six camps, your combat expertise has earned you merit. Reward each with 100,000 law crystals, twenty divine elixir. When you reach the threshold of the God Realm, you may apply for the healing potion."
The former subjects of Dawu, Chu Yuan planned on cultivating them to reach the God realm as well.
"In addition, with Dawu becoming a two-star empire, there are only one million troops across eight camps. That's too few. I decree that the eight camps can recruit soldiers nationally. Initially, each camp shall recruit one million soldiers, totaling eight million. The Ministries of Household and War shall provide the necessary supplies as quickly as possible.
The leaders will still assume the command, serving as the National Defense Army for Dawu."
The previous rewards made them happy, but hearing about the military expansion excited them even more.
These are the thoughts of all beings, The Source of Faith.
The converged thoughts and wishes turned the Dawu Imperial City into an incredible scene. A faith phantom in the image of Chu Yuan existed as a giant divine figure. As more and more people came to Dawu, it became more grand and towering.
Chu Yuan practiced the Human Emperor's Sutra, held the Human Emperor's Sword, he was the contemporary Human Emperor!
According to statistics, there are a total of 4-5 billion citizens in the four countries. Dawu occupied half of them, and the national strength of the other three countries combined could barely match that of Dawu.
After these thoughts of all beings converged, Chu Yuan could clearly feel that his cultivation speed was getting faster and faster. As long as the people of the four countries swiftly turned to him, forgot the former Imperial Dynasty, he could use this power to break through another level.
And he also felt a surge of strong national fortune.
With a wave of his hand, that was the power of infinite national fortune, enough to carry the entire empire's citizens into battle.
The Divine Warrior Corps was also expanding.
The four countries had many elite warriors. Although Chu Yuan only recruited those stronger than Yuanshen, it expanded his Divine Warrior Corps to 200,000.
And after these people joined the Divine Warrior Corps, under the influence of the War Army Chessboard, it was almost impossible for them to betray. They would all be influenced by Chu Yuan's title of Supreme Being of Humanity, and would surely have a loyal belief in him.
The six forbidden army camps in Dragon City were also expanding.
The heads of the Imperial Guards were very clever. They selected soldiers from the four countries and mingled them together into the different structures. Very quickly, they filled up the troop strength of the camps, and Chu Yuan also revealed.
With the growth of national strength, the strength of each camp would continue to increase.
Although many troops were absorbed here, there were still many left from the elite troops of the four countries.
Chu Yuan quickly established new structures. Those who were willing to stay could continue in the army, those who were unwilling could return to their hometowns, and he quickly issued a series of new benefits, which were more generous than those given by the four countries earlier.
In addition to this, Chu Yuan also started building the National Fortune Array.
The Human Emperor Sutra was an unsurpassed cultivation technique of the human race, which included the use of national fortune, and was based on humanity, the strongest cultivation technique of humanity.
Actually, it was not difficult to arrange the National Fortune Array, but the challenging part was how to maximize the power of human belief.
The construction of the National Fortune Array was conducted in the former imperial cities of the four countries, and with this grand array, Chu Yuan could transmit the belief of the Supreme Being of Humanity, the Human Emperor of Dawu, at all times.
One month later.
The four countries turn to Dawu.
After Chu Yuan had roughly dealt with the matters of Dawu, he left part of the stationed army behind. The rest of the troops returned to the capital with him.
