Chapter 1355: Establishing the Divine Kingdom!

[Congratulations! Your Advanced Empire Lord Territory, the Scorching Sun Empire, has officially advanced to a Primary Divine Kingdom Lord Territory—the Scorching Sun Divine Kingdom!]

[Hint: You may now display your Divine Kingdom’s name and rank across any channel!]

[Your World Channel ID has been altered!]

[Your current World Channel ID is: Scorching Sun Divine Kingdom (Primary)—Divine Lord of the Scorching Sun!]

Immediately following this,

an announcement materialized, striking awe into the very souls of the myriad races.

[All-Channel Announcement for the Lords of the Myriad Races: Congratulations to the Human Race—Lord of the Scorching Sun, for successfully establishing the very first Divine Kingdom among all the lords of the myriad races. As a reward, you are granted +1 Mythic Treasure Chest of the Myriad Races, +1 Novice Divine Kingdom Treasure Chest! +1,000,000 Legendry! +1,000 Mythos! And the unique title among the myriad races—The First Divine Kingdom!]

[All-Channel Announcement for the Lords of the Myriad Races: Congratulations to the Human Race—Lord of the Scorching Sun...]

[All-Channel Announcement for the Lords of the Myriad Races: Congratulations to the Human Race—Lord of the Scorching Sun...]

"Finally…"

"Formally elevated to a Primordial Sovereign Domain."

Zhou Zhou sighed with a sense of profound realization.

Now, he stood as the master of one of the most elite forces across the multiverse.

Then, his gaze drifted to the subsequent text prompts.

[Primary Sovereign Master Prompt 1: Upon your Advanced Empire's ascension to a Primary Sovereign Domain, your name will spread across the multiversal realms. More and more beings from various worlds will begin to learn of your Sovereign Domain's existence and will come in droves to join your forces. Prepare yourself, and manage the myriad affairs that await as a Sovereign Domain master.]

[Primary Sovereign Master Prompt 2: Your Advanced Empire Channel has officially been upgraded to a Primary Sovereign Domain Channel, capable of accommodating up to 10,000 named vassal subjects.]

[Primary Sovereign Master Prompt 3: You now possess the authority to issue Sovereign Domain announcements. Once issued, all vassal subjects of your Domain will instantly receive and be informed of your message.]

[Primary Sovereign Master Prompt 4: Your "Vassal States" function has been significantly strengthened. You may now recruit kingdoms without restriction, and may establish up to 100,000 Imperial-level Sovereign Lords and 1,000 Primary Sovereign-level Sovereign Lords as vassal states under your domain.]

[Vassal States must never attack the Homeworld and must obey all orders issued by the Homeworld, standing together in unity and adversity. The Homeworld, within its capacity, shall support the development of vassal states, protect them from external threats, and ensure their stability.]

Between the suzerain state and its subordinate realms lay a set of mother-and-son spatial teleportation arrays, allowing for cost-free transit across any distance; yet the suzerain retained the sole authority to unilaterally sever this spatial connection.

After Zhou Zhou finished reading, he nodded in quiet satisfaction.

He then opened the announcements for the divine kingdom, penning the very first proclamation since its ascension.

Proclamation of the Divine Kingdom of the Scorching Sun: To all my loyal subjects, I can now formally declare to you that the war of foundation has drawn to an absolute close, and our imperial legions have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, triumphed once more in this grand conflict!

No, they should no longer be called the imperial legions!

For upon our victory in this foundational war, our Scorching Sun Empire has officially ascended to the rank of a primary-grade divine kingdom lord faction!

Which is to say.

From this day forth, our Scorching Sun Empire has officially become the Divine Kingdom of the Scorching Sun!

And you, from this moment onward, have formally become the citizens of a divine kingdom!

As it has always been, we stand without question at the absolute vanguard of all the myriad races' lords! This is a collective honor that belongs to every single citizen of our Divine Kingdom of the Scorching Sun!

[To celebrate our official promotion to the rank of Junior Divine Realm Lord Faction, starting today and lasting until one month from now, all items within the Territory Contribution System will be available at a ten-percent discount.

After one month, prices will return to normal. We urge all citizens to seize this opportunity, strengthen their capabilities, and thrive more securely upon the Supreme Continent!]

…

At this very moment, the people of the Praja Empire were originally concerned about the progress of their soldiers’ founding campaign.

After all, at the very beginning of the war, Zhou Zhou and Yī Niàn’s armies had entered the Great Thousand World to fight, deliberately avoiding harm to the civilian population of the Praja Empire—thus, the outside world could not possibly observe the true state of battle.

Unbelievably, in the span of a single breath, they had already secured victory.

Not only had their nation ascended to the rank of Divine Realm Lord Faction, but their ordinary citizens had also been elevated to the status of Divine Realm citizens!

That was citizens of a Divine Realm Lord Faction.

To speak of it in the outside world would earn them instant admiration and respect.

For citizens of a Divine Realm Lord Faction meant that behind every one of them stood a powerful Lord Faction from the vast multiverse, offering them protection and strength.

If any unwelcome creature hears of this identity, they will have to weigh carefully whether to risk provoking this colossal being.

Unlike ordinary subjects of a kingdom or an empire, who simply go ahead and provoke without hesitation—after all, the multiverse is vast, and if you hide well, who would ever find you?

For a lordly force of divine nation status, tracking down a criminal who has violated the interests or lives of its own people across the multiverse is not an impossible task.

After all, the renown and might of such a force are well known.

The moment it speaks, powers throughout the multiverse will instinctively gather, eager to form alliances and lend a hand.

Once the forces of the multiverse mobilize, most beings will find themselves unable to escape.

And if being a subject of such a divine nation lordly force brings pride and honor to their hearts,

then the offer from their sovereign—allowing them to exchange at a one-tenth price for any item within the realm’s contribution system—is truly a tangible benefit.

In truth, such a practice has been carried out before in the Sunlight Empire, when it ascended to kingdom and then to empire status, though the discount offered then was only one-third.

This time, however, it is a full one-tenth.

This is truly a bargain-priced triumph.

All the citizens are in rapture, electrified, roaring with joy!

When Zhou Zhou opened the primary Divine Realm channel, he witnessed this scene.

[Long live the Emperor! Eternal life!]

[From a small town to a kingdom, from a kingdom to an empire, and now to a Divine Realm—what an astonishing rise for the Emperor! A miracle, truly!]

[I am proud to be a citizen of the Prairial Divine Realm!]

[Ha ha ha! From today on, I am part of the Divine Realm too. From now on, wherever I go, people will have to look at me with respect!]

[In such a short span, the Emperor has already become the sovereign of this Divine Realm. Who knows what limits lie ahead for His future?]

[Limits? What limits? Our Emperor’s main strength is to transcend all limits!]

[Those myriad ethnic powers have been scheming for years to eliminate us while we were still just the Prairial Empire. Now that we’ve ascended to Divine Realm status, we must strike back fiercely in the future!]

[Rest assured, Your Majesty, we all know the Emperor's temper—none of them will have a good ending.]

...

Zhou Zhou watched the common folk chatting with a cheerful smile.

Then, gazing at the channel limit of exactly 10,000 taels, he felt even more satisfied.

"Ten thousand taels—equivalent to ten million jing."

"In the short term, there will be no worry about the common folk being unable to enter the channel altogether."

He then opened the Multinational Lords Channel and glanced inside.

Indeed.

They were all discussing their own ascension to the divine nation-level lord faction.

Zhou Zhou listened to their various speculations with a quiet, satisfied inner thrill—but said nothing.

After seeing the satisfaction in His eyes, He turned off the channel for the Sovereign Lords of All Clans.
