Chapter 263 Million People Admire

After Emperor Qin put on the Nine Dragons Supreme Emperor Robe, the group finally walked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, a hundred imperial guards were waiting. As soon as Emperor Qin appeared, they all knelt down and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qin smiled with satisfaction and then strolled towards the golden sedan chair at the foot of the steps. He planned to hold the enthronement ceremony at the Vermilion Bird Terrace to proclaim his imperial power to the world.

As he entered the sedan chair, Daji and Xiaoli did not follow but instead headed towards another sedan chair. Although they usually could ride in the same sedan chair as Emperor Qin, today's protocol did not allow it. Despite Emperor Qin being open-minded, both Daji and Xiaoli agreed with this notion, so he did not argue.

He couldn't let the people of the world mock him for only being interested in women, could he?

Eight imperial guards lifted the golden sedan chair and began to move. Sitting inside, Emperor Qin began to anticipate.

If he were to complete the main quest of becoming emperor, he would gain 500,000 experience points, a chance to summon a deity or demon, and a chance to draw a random prize!

There was originally a side quest for Zhu Yishi to become emperor first, but with Zhu Yishi's death, that side quest was now null and void.

"After traveling through time for several months, I have finally achieved something significant!" Emperor Qin felt a sense of accomplishment, even a feeling of tears welling up in his eyes. If his parents and friends from his previous life could see him now, they probably wouldn't believe it.

As for his previous life, he could only reminisce. Perhaps one day, if he reached a high enough level, he could return to Earth. But who could say for sure what the future held? Perhaps by then, everything would have changed.

Lost in his thoughts, Emperor Qin was escorted by the imperial guards out of the palace. The streets in front of the palace were already sealed off by the Dragon Rising Army, and the common people and cultivators could only stand behind the soldiers and watch from a distance.

"The Prince is coming out!"

"Hey! You should call him Your Majesty from now on!"

"Are these soldiers the legendary Dragon Rising Legion? They are all at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, it's terrifying..."

"The Kingdom of Qianyue is really going to rise. Just by looking at the Dragon Rising Legion, you can tell!"

"Narrow-minded people, have you ever seen the White Robe Army?"

Emperor Qin, sitting in the sedan chair, was also disturbed by these discussions. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, pondering whether to expand the army.

Whether it was Chen Qingzhi or the generals of the Dragon Rising Legion, their military training and quality were higher than those of the generals of the Kingdom of Qianyue. If the two sides were to merge, the military strength of the Kingdom of Qianyue would only become stronger.

It was a dozen miles from the palace to the Vermilion Bird Terrace, but fortunately, there were soldiers guarding the way, so they encountered no obstacles.

When they arrived at the Vermilion Bird Terrace, it was already noon. The area around the Vermilion Bird Terrace was crowded with people. The battle six days ago had turned the area within a radius of two kilometers into a flat plain. In preparation for the enthronement ceremony, Emperor Qin had deliberately left it unrepaired. Looking from here, it was all heads, with at least a million people, a truly spectacular sight.

Officials from the court were standing on the Vermilion Bird Terrace, lined up in front of the altar. At the forefront were Jia Xun, Taibai Venus, Li Bai, Red Boy, Lei Zhenzi, Sha Wujing, and others, followed by Xu Guiku, Zhuge Liang, and a group of ministers.

Emperor Qin did not dismiss the old officials of the court and replace them with new blood. Of course, those officials who had openly opposed him had already left.

"Welcome, Your Highness, the Prince of Yue!"

Standing on the Vermilion Bird Terrace, Nan Meng shouted loudly. At this point, he was completely convinced of Emperor Qin. Although he was likely unable to retain his position as the Grand General of the State, he was still very hopeful for the development of the Kingdom of Qianyue.

A phoenix tail is always better than a chicken head!

"Welcome, Your Highness, the Prince of Yue!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison. In addition to the hundred thousand Dragon Rising Army, the capital itself had tens of thousands of soldiers, all of them sturdy men. Their collective shout shook the heavens!

Soon, the onlookers also joined in the shouting, and even Taibai Venus and others couldn't help but be moved.

The golden sedan chair landed in front of the Vermilion Bird Terrace, and Emperor Qin slowly opened the curtain and stepped out. Dressed in the Nine Dragons Supreme Emperor Robe, he had a slight smile on his face, as if he were disdainful, exuding a domineering and unruly aura.

Amid the shouts of a million people, Emperor Qin ascended the Vermilion Bird Terrace step by step, with Daji, Xiaoli, and Shen Yan following closely behind, while the imperial guards stopped in front of the Vermilion Bird Terrace.

The rebuilt Vermilion Bird Terrace was square, with a length and width of five hundred meters and a height of two meters. After Emperor Qin ascended the Vermilion Bird Terrace, he stopped and looked around. With clear skies and a million people shouting, he couldn't help but feel restless, no matter how hard he tried to calm his emotions.

He wasn't nervous!

He only felt his blood boiling!

Countless people pursued the throne and knew the benefits of being emperor, but how many truly understood the feeling of standing in this position?

"Your Majesty, let's go this way," Shen Yan reminded. Due to the noise, he could only use a sound transmission technique. Otherwise, even if he shouted loudly next to Emperor Qin, he probably wouldn't be able to hear clearly.

What a spectacular scene it would be with millions of people gathered together shouting!

Emperor Qin turned and walked towards the altar. A new emperor of the Kingdom of Qianyue had to sacrifice a demon beast to pray for the blessings of heaven for the prosperity and peace of the country.

The civil and military officials automatically made way. Wherever Emperor Qin walked, the surrounding officials and soldiers knelt down respectfully, like a wave of people.

Strolling slowly, Emperor Qin deliberately took his time to savor this moment.

As Li Bai said, when one is successful in life, one should enjoy it to the fullest!

When it was his turn to enjoy, why wouldn't he? Even Taibai Venus and others knelt down one after another. With their loyalty ratings all above ninety, they wouldn't resist such a protocol. After all, even the strongest Lei Zhenzi had knelt down first, so naturally, they had to follow suit.

Moreover, if they only bowed and bent over, wouldn't it make Emperor Qin a laughingstock?

In this world, although kneeling is highly valued, the relationship between master and servant is even more important. It is considered taboo to not kneel when paying respects to one's lord, especially when their lord is an emperor.

"Offer sacrifice to the demonic beast!"

The thunderous voice of Lei Zhenzi drowned out the voices of over a million people, bringing a sudden silence to the heavens and the earth.

At that moment, someone noticed a dark figure flying through the sky, growing larger and larger. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Li Yuanba, holding a gigantic demonic pig that resembled a mountain in one hand, causing many to jump in surprise.

With a loud thud, the demonic pig landed next to Lord Qin. This was a peak Golden Core realm demonic beast, a rare and precious find within the Qianyue Kingdom.

"Your Highness, I leave it to you," Li Yuanba chuckled, then stepped aside.

A smirk appeared on Lord Qin's lips as a surge of dragon energy erupted from his body, the roar of a dragon reverberating through the air. A three-clawed golden dragon coiled around him, complementing his Nine Dragon Supreme Emperor's robe, creating an incredibly powerful visual impact.

The crowd around the Vermilion Bird Platform erupted into a commotion, as the people and cultivators of the Qianyue Kingdom witnessed dragon energy for the first time, filled with astonishment.

Lord Qin swung his right hand towards the demonic pig, and the dragon energy let out a long roar as it charged towards the pig, piercing it directly and splattering blood all over the ground.

The attacking power of dragon energy was already stronger than spiritual power, and coupled with Lord Qin's higher realm, the demonic pig's life force was no match. However, the pig's resilience was remarkable, as it endured the pain and charged towards Lord Qin.
