Chu Yi enjoyed the enchanting massage of his wives and concubines, feeling completely satisfied, he switched perspectives.

At the meeting, the governors were reluctant to leave, while some party members looked livid, clearly having been bled dry.

Among them.

Su Hao, the leader of the Qingzhou party, left without even showing respect to the elders.

After all, among the seats of the Elder Council, three had the surname Su.

Following was the eager appearance of the members.

Compared to the governors' major matters, what the members brought to the table seemed trivial, with even the smallest issues being discussed openly.

For example, matters involving the smuggling and selling of Pet Beasts, which could be resolved with a small fine.

Meanwhile.

Chu Yi accepted invitations from all parties without exception.

Anyone with insight knew that the legacies of the Ice Dragon King and Nus Wolf King, both Radiant Moon entities, were coveted by these governors.

Especially the Ice Dragon King, which was involved in the Twelve Doomsday — one of the twelve future paths of the world.

After a long while.

Chu Yi listened until he was about to fall asleep; finally, the meeting ended.

The Supreme Divine Kingdom withdrew its mighty power, and Chu Yi severed the projection linking to the Imperial Capital, returning to the border city.

Within the meeting hall, several days had passed, yet external time was at a standstill.

"Hehehe, has this emperor become part of the rentier class? This feels amazing!"

Chu Yi flew in the air, overlooking the small territory of the border state, nodded, and decided to implement the cultivation system of the Dragon Martial Realm for governance.

The incense-burning divine path matched the demands of the millions of border residents who worshipped gods.

Yin Spirit Technique allowed the dead to live within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Demon Martial Artists could be easily derived from Pet Beasts. With some superintelligent improvement...ah, this is called human and pet fusion.

For a moment.

Chu Yi's mind overflowed with ideas, eager to establish his empire.

...

In Youzhou.

A sky-darkening cloud shadowed over much of the heavens.

At the invitation of Lu Chenzhou, Chu Yi entered Youzhou. Utilizing his ten-day simulation life as a governor, he discovered a fragment of an evil god hidden within an abandoned mine.

The Golden Crow granted him divine speed, and this fragment incarnated as an evil god couldn't escape his grasp, being chopped into pieces by the Ghost-slaying Sword for material extraction.

Yet, the evil god's pollution remained. Chu Yi further wielded Candle Dragon Fire, ushering in daylight, and suppressed the vast majority of the zombie wave, leaving it to the Youzhou beast taming army to handle.

He didn't want to solve it all at once — it was too cheap that way.

Periodically returning to cleanse it, made Governor Lu Chenzhou feel it was worth it.

And the scene of his miraculous intervention, like a savior saving over a billion residents of Youzhou, won many hearts, inspiring people to head towards Chuzhou.

Compared to the neighboring governor, their own governor's performance was just too lacking.

"Uncle Chu, you've really worked hard."

Lu Chenzhou quickly came over, and Chu Yi's neat and efficient actions immediately resolved the apocalypse-level crisis troubling Youzhou for three months, leaving Chenzhou bewildered and at a loss.

Ah,

Is the other side the Sun God?

Then it's fine.

Lu Chenzhou may specialize in internal strife, but he's not stupid.

Recognizing Chu Yi's importance, he immediately decided to cling to his powerful backer, hosting a banquet that night and sending over a thousand beauties for the Sun God to enjoy.

Indeed,

these thousand women were arranged in a high-end community, like a lucky box for the Sun God's amusement.

But Chu Yi reached such a level, best described as immortal.

Under his Clock Eye, the women sent by Lu Chenzhou had coarse pores, dirt and bacteria, mites moving in pores, and a smell of body fluids.

Outside, they appeared white as snow and breathtaking beauties, unparalleled throughout the ages.

But without contracted Pet Beasts, lacking spirituality, they remained mortals unable to cleanse themselves internally.

Moreover, with Chu Yi's narcissistic tendencies, all these beauties together couldn't compare to him cross-dressing and admiring himself in the mirror.

Chu Yi left that very night, taking with him the full rewards listed in the Lu family's list.

Lu Chenzhou may not be competent, but he was trustworthy in keeping promises, even if it made him bleed internally, he still gritted his teeth to gather it.

Otherwise.

According to the model of this Sun God, known for destroying families and holding strong grudges, Lu Chenzhou feared what day he might be killed by Chu Yi.

...

"Fortunes seem favorable."

Chu Yi passed through the border of Youzhou, returning to Chuzhou.

The entire power of the world of Chuzhou infused into him; although it was less than a ten-thousandth of what the Ten Thousand Souls Banner world offered, it still had some growth potential.

Governors held the power of a state world, with the power of the world backing them; invading other states, they could not mobilize world power.

Unless a governor voluntarily relinquished territory, it's rare for governors to wage war on each other.

Having resolved the biochemical crisis in the neighboring state, Chu Yi obtained a fragment of an Evil God's persona of Radiant Moon level, as well as evolution material for Deceit Beasts.

He immediately crafted a soul-type 4-star feast, feeding it to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, thus opening the Second Hall of the Underworld Emperor.

Boom!

Within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a place filled with eerie ghostly qi, a stream suddenly gushed forth.

The stream was enormous, increasingly torrential, transforming from a small creek to a vast river, and then to a dark and mysterious ocean.

An endless sea, dark, cold, deep, reflecting an indistinct figure on its surface.

At the same time.

On the shore appeared a boat, the boatman in a bamboo raincoat holding a bamboo pole, motionless.

Chu Yi's figure flickered, teleporting to this underwater palace, immediate diving into an icy cold, deep blue palace.

The Second Underworld Emperor, King Chu Jiang.

Dwelling in the seabed, governing the Ice Hell, with the attached position of Ferryman, could disregard space to escort the deceased.

Activating the second divine power, "Veil".

"Veil": Second Hall Master, King Chu Jiang divine power, immune to causal calculations, those who maliciously calculate suffer the cold punishment.

This divine power served to punish those bearing ill-will against him.

Although Gray Mist Authority was decent, as Chu Yi's realm improved, it had revealed some shortcomings.

After all, the legendary enchanting demon Liu Qingmeng once weaved marital fate to kill him, and Gray Mist Authority couldn't defend against it.

Therefore.

This divine power could stack with Gray Mist Authority, increasing the difficulty for opponents to weave fate.

And with the opening of the Second Hall of King Chu Jiang, his status once more elevated, the upper limit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner could engulf more worlds.

Being close to sub-legendary is still far off.

The most suitable material for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner lies in the Netherworld.

With his fully formed system's combat strength, it was sufficient to deceive the "kings" of the Netherworld.

Afterwards.

After a day's fatigue, Chu Yi headed to the newly established emperor city above the nine heavens.

His physical body entered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, summoning a group of breathtakingly beautiful and voluptuous wives and concubines, their garments slipping and revealing mutton fat jade-like splendor.

"The long night is endless, I need you all to assist my training!!"

...

Having possessed a provincial territory, Chu Yi became a dominating figure in the Federation overnight.

The day after the meeting, he went to the border of the Alien Race, transformed into a blazing sun, and entered their world, causing the cave people to collapse on the spot.

These cave people from the underground world had physiques no weaker than those of the Gold level. Coupled with the ability to tunnel into the Federation, their internal invasions brought incalculable losses.

Chu Yi's first resolution was these hideous goblin-like cave people. With a sweep of his Golden Crow wings, he transformed into a radiant sun, setting vast lands ablaze and melting them into brightly colored glass.

Farmlands burned, slaves captured, food shortages, water sources dried up...

All these issues caused the alien races in caves to collapse.

They were merely mid-level alien races, utterly incapable of hindering this terrifying Sun God, thus they had to plead for help from the Empire within the cave world.
