I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
Lin Beifan walked back, and Song Yufei asked with concern, “Your Majesty, how did that enchantress become a patron of Great Xia? Not far away, emperors from kingdoms like An and Shang, who had once been defeated by Lin Beifan, had arrived. The Sword Elder had become a lofty Grandmaster, but why did he show such respect to Lin Beifan?
Lin Beifan walked back, and Song Yufei asked with concern, “Your Majesty, how did that enchantress become a patron of Great Xia?
Your Majesty, I must advise you that woman is dangerous and ruthless.
You must keep your distance from her!
”Lin Beifan sighed, “I didn’t want this!
Initially, she accepted a bounty to kill me, but due to a twist of fate, she became my friend!
Seeing her murderous intent, I kept her close, hoping to reform her one day, to lay down her arms!
I never expected that she would turn out to be the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect!
”“Your Majesty, you are too kind!
”Lin Beifan nodded in agreement, smiling wryly, “Yes, I am too kind!
”“But being too kind can lead to being deceived!
”Song Yufei said earnestly, “As the saying goes, it’s easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to alter one’s nature.
I’ve been fighting that enchantress for so many years; I know her too well.
She will never change, only become more ruthless!
So, Your Majesty, you should keep your distance from her for your own safety!
”Lin Beifan shook his head, “No, I don’t believe she would harm me!
”Song Yufei sighed in frustration but felt a newfound respect for Lin Beifan.
He was a righteous and noble man.
He’s a good Emperor!
Not only did he do right by his people, but he also stood by his friends!
Not far away, emperors from kingdoms like An and Shang, who had once been defeated by Lin Beifan, had arrived.
Looking at the grand scene of all coming to pay homage, they were quite moved.
“Two years ago, Great Xia was on par with my country, and now it has far surpassed us!
”“Yes, who would have thought that a small kingdom hidden in the Hengduan Mountain Range could develop to this extent!
”“To be defeated by such a nation is no disgrace!
”At that moment, an envoy from another country who had been watching asked with curiosity, “Excuse me, gentlemen, you all seem unfamiliar.
May I ask who you are…?
”The Emperors exchanged glances.
One of them, the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom, spoke up to introduce: “I am the Duke of Mo from Great Xia, and these gentlemen are the Duke of An, the Duke of Shang…”And so he introduced them one by one…Upon hearing this, the envoy immediately became enthusiastic: “So you are the noble Dukes of Great Xia, my apologies for not recognizing you!
”The surrounding envoys also gathered around, each offering their warm compliments.
The Emperors were taken aback by the unexpected honor and responded with their own polite gestures.
Their feelings were a complex mix.
Back when they were Emperors, these people wouldn’t even spare them a glance.
Now, having become titular Dukes of Great Xia, they suddenly found themselves the center of warm interactions, leaving them at a loss for words.
Just then, the Minister of Rites, Li Linfu, approached Lin Beifan and whispered a few words to him.
After listening, Lin Beifan laughed heartily and announced, “Everyone, the auspicious hour has arrived.
I shall go forth to preside over the opening ceremony of the court!
Esteemed guests and dear friends, please!
”“Your Majesty, please!
” everyone said in unison.
Following that, Lin Beifan led the crowd out and, under the gaze of a million people, ascended the Altar of Heaven step by step.
Then, under the direction of Li Linfu, he offered sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the ancestors.
The ceremony went very smoothly, unlike the last grand ceremony, which was disrupted by members of the noble families.
After the entire process flowed seamlessly, Lin Beifan faced the million-strong populace and solemnly declared.
“From this day forth, the Great Xia Kingdom shall be renamed the Great Xia Dynasty, and I shall be the first Emperor of the Great Xia Empire!
”“May Great Xia prosper eternally, its legacy enduring through the ages!
”“May Great Xia thrive, with every citizen living in peace and happiness!
”The common people below also chanted loudly in response.
“May Great Xia prosper eternally, its legacy enduring through the ages!
”“May Great Xia thrive, with every citizen living in peace and happiness!
”At that moment, the sky suddenly changed.
Ethereal clouds quickly gathered above the capital city.
Blocking out the sun, the entire capital city was plunged into darkness.
This sudden scene shocked everyone.
“What’s going on?
”“Why are the clouds gathering like this?
Why has it become dark?
”“It was clear skies just a moment ago!
How did such a good day turn like this?
”“This is an ominous sign!
Has His Majesty angered the heavens?
” Everyone was anxious and worried.
Some thought darkly, “Could it be that the foolish emperor has lost the favor of the heavens?
”Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the clouds above, and sunlight streamed through it.
To everyone’s surprise, the sunlight shone directly onto the Altar of Heaven, right onto Lin Beifan.
The golden sunlight bathed Lin Beifan, making his figure appear very divine.
Like a deity descending from the heavens, majestic and extraordinary!
This miraculous scene once again shocked everyone.
“Ah, this is…”The Minister of Rites, Li Linfu, immediately exclaimed excitedly: “This is an auspicious sign!
It is heaven’s recognition of His Majesty, that’s why such a propitious omen has descended!
Long live His Majesty!
Long live Great Xia!
”The common people also became excited.
Minister Li is right!
Only the heavens could have brought about such a miraculous scene!
What does this mean?
It means that the heavens recognize His Majesty.
They recognize Great Xia!
His Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, a Son of Destiny bestowed by divine mandate!
Only by following His Majesty will we have good days ahead!
And so, they all shouted frantically.
“Long live His Majesty!
”“Long live Great Xia!
”Only the guests from various places who were watching the ceremony were left with faces full of surprise and doubt.
“Is the Great Xia Emperor really a child of the heavens?
”“I don’t believe it.
It’s all just trickery, how could it be real?
”“But how do you explain all this?
Can you control the clouds in the sky?
”“That is…”They didn’t know whether they should believe it or not.
Only the leader of the Demon Sect, Zi Liuli, seemed to be deep in thought: “Could it be that the senior who made a move?
”But after glancing at the sky, she dismissed the thought.
“Even the old senior of our Demon Sect can’t do something like this!
”Lin Beifan secretly smiled; of course, he was the one behind all this.
The purpose was to fool the people and strengthen his rule.
With the endorsement of the heavens, from now on, his words would be the truth, and his orders would be the law.
In the future, whoever dares to say he is not the Son of Heaven, whoever dares not to listen to him, he wouldn’t need to lift a finger—the people themselves would take care of the dissenter.
The clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and everything returned to normal.
But the miraculous scene remained forever in the hearts of the people and quickly spread far and wide.
After the ceremony, Lin Beifan hosted a grand banquet for guests from all quarters.
Because of everything that had happened that day, everyone had an added respect for Lin Beifan, and they toasted him frequently at the banquet.
Lin Beifan welcomed all comers, and no one could outdrink him.
The Sword Elder was also present, seated right below Lin Beifan.
Seeing the Sword Elder so obedient, everyone was very surprised.
The Sword Elder had become a lofty Grandmaster, but why did he show such respect to Lin Beifan?
What is he capable of?
On the second day, the guests from various places took their leave and brought back what they had learned about Great Xia.
