A middle-aged man wearing a black robe with dragons on his sleeves stepped forward. His hair was perfectly combed in a bun, and a faint aura of a ruler emanated from him. However, anyone with the right perception could detect he was trying his best to hide his aura and look as small as possible.
Such an act was not deemed cowardly by other representatives, and that's because the man was only in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, indicating the Great Jin Dynasty was only a Supreme Dynasty.
"Han Shun has seen Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor," said the Sovereign of the Great Jin Dynasty.
"I was as surprised as everyone else when I saw your dynasty's name on the list," commented Wang Wei. "I was even more surprised when I checked it for myself."
Han Shun smiled in embarrassment, "It was a unique situation. I was severely injured, ended up in Your Majesty's territory, and was saved from the people. Once I was healed, I had the idea of creating a fortune dynasty and decided to model the way of living of my saviors."
Wang Wei nodded in understanding. The Great Jin Dynasty has such a high position because Han Shun copied many things from the Dao Opening Sect's Spiritual Rune Civilization. As such, the people's lives under his rule are peaceful and prosperous.
"I have to give you some credit," acknowledged Wang Wei. The Great Zhou Dynasty was still recovering after the stunts their First Prince caused. Although they have recondensed their dynasty's Qi Luck and prevented the dynasty from collapsing, they are not in the best shape to be too caring about the lives of their citizens.
The Great Wu Dynasty is in a similar predicament. After Sun Jiaolong's death, their dynasty's luck seemed to have reached the bottom. The secret of their having multiple pseudo-Emperors was leaked, and the surrounding dynasties did not hesitate to attack them, gutting most of the territory Sun Jiaolong occupied for them.
Meanwhile, other dynasties do not dare to copy the Dao Opening Sect's model despite being aware of it, and all because of unwarranted fear. These monarchs feared due to the open wisdom of the citizens from the Spiritual Rune Civilization, they would reject the concept of monarchy and try to overthrow their dynasty.
Of course, this is a high fantasy world, so no matter how much mortals revolt, it will be pointless. One Divine Body Realm cultivator is enough to trample on Wang Wei's Spiritual Rune Civilization, let alone even weaker mortal dynasties.
The main source of fear for these people is that a peerless cultivator genius will appear among these mortals and rise against them. So, most dynasties ignored the changes in the Dao Opening Sect's Domain, while a few wise ones adapted a few things to improve the lives of their citizens and gather more luck.
However, Han Shun was not one of these people. He copied Wang Wei's civilization to the best of his ability while also being a wise ruler that is loved and respected by his people.
"Sovereign Han Shun is a perfect example that our model can be copied and executed," said Wang Wei, looking at the representatives. "As such, you should learn from him."
Everyone secretly looked at Han Sun; however, their emotions and real thoughts were hidden. However, the Great Jin Sovereign was secretly scared. No matter his achievements, it did not change the fact he was only a Mortal in the eyes of these big shots.
Wang Wei waved his hand to condense a golden talisman.
"This is a reward for your effort and dedication."
People were shocked by the power contained in this talisman. A few with dark thoughts immediately extinguished them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," hurriedly said Han Shun, bowing with his most respectful attitude while also breathing in relief; he knew he was saved and could continue developing his dynasty without any problems.
'I only need to become a Dao Lineage in this generation while preparing for my descendants to become Emperors,' thought Han Shun with great ambitions. He received the talisman and returned to the back of the line.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei's eyes glimmered with mystery as he watched Han Shun's actions. Although the latter looked like a lucky loose cultivator on the surface with no background, the truth could not be hidden from his eyes.
'He is the Human Emperor's next chosen pawn after Sun Jiaolong,' thought Wang Wei, who could see the unique destiny that Han Shun inherited.
'His plan is probably to get the Heavenly Emperor Position from one of the Great Jin Dynasty's descendants.'
Wang Wei's eyes twinkled, but he did not say anything or do anything to Han Shun or the Great Jin Dynasty because he had already figured out the Human Emperor's end goal.
The latter wanted to acquire the three Karmic Positions of Heaven and Earth: Human Emperor, Earth Emperor, and Heavenly Emperor. Then, by fusing their essence, he can reach the realm of Half-Step Transcendence.
'However, such a plan is not so easy to accomplish. The Heavenly Emperor in the Lower Position is not nearly enough for the Transcendent Path, so he will need to acquire it in the upper dimension. The one I leave behind is probably only a key for the one in the upper dimension.
"But, even then, things will not be simple. The Eternal Ascension World's power ceiling is Half-Step Transcendence, so he cannot use my method to become the Heavenly Emperor in the upper dimension.'
If the Human Emperor attempted such a stupid thing, True Heavenly Dao would obliterate him.
