The most important council deciding the fate of the Hanging Sky Region finally began.
In recent days, countless strong individuals have flocked to the Great Wu Dynasty.
The Divine Martial Hall of Dawu was solemn and majestic.
Originally, it was where Dawu's officials convened, but today, countless powerful beings had gathered here.
The venue for Chu Yuan to preside over the important issue this time was in the Divine Martial Hall.
The implication was straightforward; he was the sovereign of the Hanging Sky Region. Everyone who came here was his subject, and the heads of the other dynasties naturally understood the implicit meaning behind this.
Previously, they would have reacted wrathfully.
But now, given the compelling circumstances, even if they were unwilling, they could only endure it and bide their time until they entered the hall.
After all, Chu Yuan had annihilated the ninth battalion of the Demon Abyss Legion and has always portrayed himself as a powerful and mysterious figure.
"This Great Wu Dynasty has such a strong fateful aura. In my sight, I vaguely see a fiery red Heavenly World Furnace burning fiercely, as if it could melt everything. The Furnace is filled with pure and outstanding luck, symbolising the rising national fortune of Dawu!"
As these leaders of the dynasties arrived at the royal palace and the image of the Heavenly World Furnace appeared before their eyes, their expressions abruptly changed.
Weakened by the Demon Abyss Legion's attacks, the fateful aura of all countries in the Floating Sky Region was declining, especially that of the Hanging Sky Empire, which had entirely collapsed.
Only the Dawu Dynasty's fate continued to rise extraordinarily.
The fate of a country can reveal the development of its dynasty.
"Great Torrent Emperor, you are here too. I heard that you suffered a severe loss from the Demon Abyss Legion's attack not long ago."
A powerful figure, an old man who seemed frail but had shocking light in his eyes, approached and asked a man who looked worried.
The Great Torrent Empire was one of the few four-star empires in the Hanging Sky Region that had a God Position, the highest rank making it more powerful than the Great Tremor Empire, and it had four God Positions within its borders.
"Alas, Brother Shen, indeed. Our attacker was the seventh battalion from the Demon Abyss Legion. They had almost reached the Imperial City, but Martial Emperor annihilated their ninth battalion with a swift and fierce method, forcing them to retreat. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here today."
The Great Torrent Emperor sighed.
"Indeed, if not for the incredible and mysterious strength of the Martial Emperor, we wouldn't have all gathered in the Great Wu Imperial City. After all, even the Floating Sky Empire was invaded and collapsed. If we cannot resist, we have no choice but to head to sea."
While this man was speaking, he said, "This Martial Emperor is clearly trying to turn us into his subjects."
"Making me and others the subjects of the Great Wu is not impossible. But first, he must have the power to suppress everything. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk."
The Great Boundless Emperor was staring at the empty imperial throne, his voice carrying a tremendous amount of mana.
"His Majesty will arrive soon."
Zhu Fengfeng was also there. As a God Position cultivator, she replied indifferently.
"Hmph! If the Martial Emperor keeps throwing his weight around like this, he really considers himself as the ruler of this region, doesn't he? Even the previous Hanging Sky Empire was never this arrogant. Does he believe he has become the saviour and possesses the strength to suppress all of us?"
The Great Boundless Emperor said coldly.
In his heart, he also harboured ambitions of dominating the Hanging Sky Region.
"Well said! By entering the Divine Martial Hall, you are acknowledging yourself as a subject of Dawu. I hereby announce, henceforth, all forces within the Hanging Sky Region are under the rule of the Great Wu Dynasty. My Great Wu will be a five-star empire, and I will lead everyone to resist the Demon Abyss Legion!"
Chu Yuan's voice resonated throughout the hall.
Within the Divine Martial Hall, a furnace appeared and Chu Yuan emerged from within it. His appearance alone swept away all shades of gloom, shining brightly like a beacon of salvation.
In this latest phase of unsealing his attributes, Chu Yuan could not only melt the Waters of Fortune in the Heavenly World Furnace but also combine the fortunes of an entire country within the Furnace to use as his power - as if he was going into battle carrying the entire empire with him.
Although these people were still nominally emperors of their respective dynasties, with the advance of the Demon Abyss Legion, their nations' fates had already collapsed.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
Seeing Chu Yuan's approach and sensing his immense and mysterious power, Dawu's officials all knelt down, voices chorusing with reverence.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically at this moment.
The boundless imperial might radiating from Chu Yuan was overwhelming. Some of the lower-level cultivators could not help but wish to kneel immediately at Chu Yuan's feet, recognizing him as the supreme ruler, without any thoughts of opposition.
His appearance and his boundless imperial might made all the Encompassing Deity level powerhouses, regardless of which empire they came from, kneel down.
Under the suppression of the supreme power, they could not stand up even if they tried.
Even some of the weaker God Position beings were on the verge of collapsing.
Chu Yuan swept his gaze over the hall, counting a total of seventeen people.
Aside from the God Position of the Great Tremor Dynasty whom he had killed and who had perished in the Demon Abyss Legion's hands, almost all the God Position powerhouses from this region were present.
He voiced out loud once more, "Does anyone object to my words?"
