Chapter 148: The Xuzhong Empire

Soon, a Year passed.

During this time, nothing much happened in Nexara other than all the people being busy building back their lives.

At first, many hoped all of this was a dream and that they would wake up soon, but as time passed, those fantasies soon shattered, and everyone started to accept their fates.

But while some were sad, others were more than happy that the world had changed, as that would mean a new order.

This is where the players come in, as many of them are gamers who are not completely contaminated with the dark side of humanity.

They have taught all the other old-world inhabitants and brought them up to speed so that they can also cultivate and make this world their own along side all the natives.

This is also why everyone accepted the change so quickly, as they knew that they could not go back, so instead, all of them focused on cultivating, which resulted in a massive amount of cultivators appearing in all the cities.

And along with them came the forces created by the players, including the Xu family, who have now created their own Empire.

This is a big deal in creating an Empire; one needs to have more than five cities under their control, an Ace army with 100,000 active personnel, and a proper government to run all the cities properly.

Any one of these requirements would take others more than a year to fulfill, but the Xu family was able to do all of them in a year, which is a historical event.

As for the name of the Empire? It is called the Xuzhong Empire.

This was the name that Xu Qianghua and his group came up with after conquering the last city and making Huang Xinyi the first Empress.

And as they did, the World's Will arrived right on time.

As for the Empyrean Trade Consortium and the Empyrean Harmony Sect. They have grown to be one of the most well-known forces in the area.

The Consortium even spread across the continent, which no one could have imagined.

But this is mainly because Liu Meiying brought modern items that people lack in this middle-aged world.

such as modern bathrooms, toilets, toiletries, and other items that every old inhabitant was used to and never noticed their importance until they lost them all.

Yeah, they had this while they were in the inns, but that was only for the players and for a limited time; for the people who did not play the game or the players who got out of the inn, it was a nightmare.

As many of the non-players did not know anything about cultivation and so they did not know how to use the Spiritual Qi to clean themselves.

However, a cultivator would need to be in the Foundation Realm even to use the Spiritual Qi outside of their bodies.

So all of them had to live without these modern facilities and amenities, which made Liu Meiying's Consortium expand crazily.

Due to this, Liu Meiying became the richest person in the world and had a huge lead.

Meanwhile, Bai Linyun, who had planned to help her friend out with the business, quit midway and instead spent her time in the subspace making sure everything was going in an orderly manner.

She and Xu Qianghua split the responsibilities so that neither of them got tired of the huge workload of managing more than 500,000 clansmen all around the continent.

This causes the other ladies to be jealous as Bai Lingyun gets to spend the most amount of time with him.

But for Bai Lingyun, it was the worst possible thing as Xu Qianghua never did anything to her while they were working.
