Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Clear distinction between rewards and punishments is the most basic.

And the greatest contributor to this war is Lu Qianfu, so Chu Yuan decided to promote his marquisate to a king's title, and even wrote the imperial decree himself, bearing the imperial seal.

"This time, I want to personally bestow the title of 'Loyal and Brave' and give rewards to the three armies."

Bestowing a title of King is a significant event, and it is more than justified for his loyal and distinguished service.

After all, making Lu Qianfu a king is within reason. He had been battling with the previous emperor to establish the kingdom and now has followed Chu Yuan in conquering it, he has long earned enough merit.

The former emperor had intended to reward the 'Loyal and Brave' title with a king's title, but he was too severely injured, so he was only made a marquis to allow him time to recuperate.

And Chu Yuan's title of king is one within the Three Star Imperial Dynasty!

"Fu Ling, accompany me to the Black Abyss City."

Chu Yuan even brought Ji Fuling along this time.

After the conquest of the Black Abyss Imperial City, there were too many supplies and miscellaneous affairs which Lu Qianfu was incapable of handling. Ji Fuling, on the other hand, excels at these tasks, making her the best candidate for the job.

Black Abyss Imperial City.

The bustling scene from Chu Yuan's previous visit was missing, the city was marked with traces of war, with ruins and remnants scattered throughout.

The atmosphere was grim and cold. Dawu soldiers were scattered everywhere, and only a few dared to roam freely.

Although Chu Yuan had ordered his soldiers not to disturb the civilians, fear still prevailed after the nation-destroying war. Yet, it would not matter soon, as Dawu would establish order swiftly, and Lingyuan rice would be distributed as quickly as possible.

Winning over the hearts of the people is simple enough. The most important thing is to ensure they have enough to eat and wear.

Not only did Chu Yuan provide for their needs, but he also provided them with Lingyuan rice — an astounding grain that grants one the ability to cultivate special abilities when consumed.

"Your servant welcomes Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing the Ancient Emperor's chariot arriving, Lu Qianfu, upon receiving the news earlier, had already gathered a large number of people to wait outside the city.

"The officers and soldiers have worked hard. You fought well in this nation-destroying battle, which pleases me greatly."

The light voice of Chu Yuan reverberated, although it wasn't loud, it carried an irresistible majestic presence. Everyone in the city could hear and feel as though they weren't staring at a man, but up towards the sky.

"For his distinguished services, the 'Loyal and Brave Marquis' is made the 'Loyal and Brave King of Dawu!'"

With Chu Yuan's proclamation, a profound bond was immediately formed with the destiny of Dawu.

Boom!

An immense wave of national destiny traversed from afar, descending upon the 'Loyal and Brave King' as Chu Yuan's voice fell. Despite his months of combat elevating his realm to the third level of the Illuminating God, at this moment, he directly advanced to the sixth level of the Illuminating God.

The terror of national destiny, as such!

This is the power formed by the fate of the dynasty. Especially as Dawu is a Three Star Dynasty, it holds a prominent position in the Suspended Domain, which is even more terrifying.

In ancient legends, a powerful divine dynasty's decree can transform a common person into a God, granting them the supreme power of the Sovereign with immense national destiny. This is the true display of the power of national destiny.

The bestowal of the King's title to the 'Loyal and Brave', for his distinguished services, was widely accepted by many people.

Although Chu Yuan's Dawu doesn't possess the power to directly bestow divinity, elevating him by a few minor levels is simple enough.

And this is just after the newly conferred title. As he continues with the new title, Lu Qianfu's cultivation speed will get even faster.

"The God-Martial Army, the Five Great Armies, and the Beast Corps have displayed great contributions in battle, I will bestow merits."

Boom!

Multiple strands of golden national destiny descended once again. As Chu Yuan's voice fell, the most noticeable change occurred in Zhao Kong, who directly broke through the bottleneck of peering into the divine, advancing to the Illuminating God.

Even though the three Island Masters and the Clan Chiefs of the Ten Clans didn't experience as drastic a change as the 'Loyal and Brave King', they each still advanced by a minor level.

Not only them, but also those soldiers who had contributed so much in the War of Annihilation under the supervision of the nation's destiny, had received their rewards. Those who had made significant contributions had suddenly broken through their original realms.

This is why the stronger the dynasty, the more powerful individuals it has.

For instance, in the Suspension Dynasty, the emperor himself could grant a man a kingship through an imperial edict, which could enable him to reach the realm strength of Enshrining the Divine, and cultivating to the tenth level would not be too difficult.

Therefore, under the siphon effect, many powerful individuals will deliberately join those dynasties, jockey for a position of power, and breakthrough their realms, enhancing their cultivation, under the force of the nation's destiny.

However, the nation's destiny is not limitless. If you grant kingships arbitrarily, it could significantly drain the power of the nation's destiny and very soon, the nation's destiny would be completely exhausted, leading to collapse.

Therefore, the more powerful the dynasty, the more cautious it would be about conferring kingship, while those one or two-star dynasties who don't understand the nation's destiny would grant a large number of kingships arbitrarily.

After all, their kingships don't hold any substantial significance.

"Our Emperor! Martial Emperor!"

"Our Emperor! Martial Emperor!"

Chu Yuan personally conferred the title of Brave King, causing countless soldiers to erupt in deafening cheers. The faith in the nation's destiny was instantly at its peak.

Every dynasty has a large number of official positions.

But in dynasties of three stars and above, they understand how to use some of the nation's destiny power, your position and your rank represent your place in the empire and how much of the nation's destiny benefits you can enjoy.

This time, Chu Yuan's conferral allowed Lu Qianfu to be promoted and showed these soldiers that as long as they contribute, step by step, they can become the empire's generals. Their realms would also grow stronger as the empire's star level increased.

Ambition!

This is the terrifying power of ambition!

After today, once the news spreads, many powerful individuals will actively swear allegiance to Chu Yuan!

"Although Hei Ming has perished, the empire's wars have only just begun. Fellow soldiers, there will be more brutal battles in the future. I cannot promise much, but I will ensure that merit is rewarded, and crimes are punished. For the next three days of the grand celebration, the national treasury will distribute medicinal pills and magic crystals.

Everyone may collect their rewards according to their merits listed in the register of deeds."

Chu Yuan said, "Ji Fuling, you are in charge of the Dawu Commerce Association, in charge of countless resources, and you are now also the President of the Three Stars."

Being the Three Stars president represents the empire's transactions with the external world. The responsibility is heavy, but the authority is substantial.

Although she isn't a queen, under Chu Yuan's investiture, Ji Fuling's realm had broken through from the first level of the Enshrined God to the third level, which gave her a great joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ji Fuling was more and more convinced that choosing to follow Chu Yuan was the wisest decision.

The Infinite Commerce Association could never offer her this much benefit and certainly would not grant her the right to exert her abilities to this extent.

Her greatest skill is not to fight but to manage resources systematically.

In the Infinite Commerce Association, did she want to become a Three-Star level president?

Not yet.

Perhaps, it's never going to happen.

But in Dawu, she had obtained what she might have failed to obtain even after struggling for a lifetime in the Infinite Commerce Association.

"Don't disappoint me."

Chu Yuan nodded slightly.

"Please proceed to the Hei Ming City, Your Majesty." Lu Qianfu said at this time.

"Lead the way."

Chu Yuan's ancient Emperor's chariot arrived in Hei Ming City.

"The Divine Ring!"

Suddenly, as Chu Yuan stepped into Hei Ming City, the Divine Ring on his arm started to violently tremble, as if it was being pulled by some force, trying to fly out!
