Boom!
Gu Hai shook off the rocks and wood on his body and walked out of the rubble.
Guqin, Shangguan Hen, Chen Tianshan, and some of the Gu Residence's old managers surrounded him.
"Master, are you alright?"
"Adoptive Father, are you alright?"
"Milord, why did the Soaring Pagoda fall?"
…
…
…
Everyone looked at Gu Hai worriedly.
"I'm fine!" Gu Hai turned his head to look at the Soaring Pagoda.
"So what if it fell? Since the Soaring Pagoda fell, let's call the newly built palace hall the Soaring Palace Hall!" Gu Hai instructed.
"Yes!" Guqin answered.
"Get someone to tidy up. Carefully take out all the books in there!" Gu Hai instructed.
"Yes!" everyone answered.
One month passed in the blink of an eye.
There were still many areas of the former five nations that Xiao Chen had not managed to sort out. However, the general framework was already in place. The three thousand evil men and the three thousand cultivators that Chen Tianshan recruited — a total of six thousand cultivators — were sent to various parts of the world to assist the various cities in preparing for the establishment of the nation, preventing any chaos in the surroundings.
A large group of palaces rose from the ground outside the former Gu Residence at Hulao Pass. Although the construction was crude, the largest palace was incredibly majestic. It was called the Soaring Palace Hall.
At this moment, the surroundings of the Soaring Palace Hall were filled with armored soldiers. There were more than three hundred thousand of them densely packed. A large number of men in scholarly robes stood in the center. They looked like officials who had not been conferred official yet, standing there respectfully.
The countless cultivators from the former Peony Sect had not left yet. Many of them stayed behind to watch the ceremony.
A large platform stood between the Soaring Palace Hall and the prospective officials. It looked like an altar in the center of the plaza.
Many guards stood outside the Soaring Palace Hall.
"The time has come! Gu Hai, ascend the altar and invite the heavens above and the earth below! "an attendant shouted from outside the Soaring Palace Hall.
The three hundred thousand people were all waiting solemnly. Everything was silent.
Creak!
The gates of the Soaring Sky Hall opened with a loud bang.
Slowly, Gu Hai stepped out from the inside.
At this moment, Gu Hai was wearing a flat imperial crown and a black dragon robe. The dragon robe was embroidered with golden silk. The long dragon robe seemed to drag on for a long time, making it look extremely long. Wearing a pair of Cloud Dragon Boots, Xiao Chen slowly walked out of the Soaring Palace Hall.
Gu Hai's expression was solemn. He held the Heaven Suppressing Godly Imperial Seal in his right hand and a golden silk scroll in his left hand as he slowly walked out.
Everyone in the outside world stood there respectfully, watching as Gu Hai walked step by step to the altar not far away.
Slowly, Gu Hai reached the top of the altar. Everyone stood respectfully below him.
On the altar, there was a table. Gu Hai placed the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal and the Golden Silk Scroll on the table.
After placing the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal, he unfurled the Golden Silk Scroll, slowly revealing a blank golden silk scroll. Then, Gu Hai took a deep breath and suddenly performed a cupped-fist salute.
"Today, Gu Hai of the Nine-Five Island of the Thousand Islands Sea requests the heavens above and the earth below to bear witness to me establishing a dynasty today. I will use my blood as a sacrifice to the heavens to show my will. I, Gu Hai, will treat my people well and my new nation well!" Gu Hai shouted.
As Gu Hai shouted, he took out a small golden knife and slowly cut open his right palm. Blood slowly flowed out.
Using the blood, Gu Hai wrote the word "Han" on the Golden Silk Scroll.
Then, Gu Hai sprinkled the blood on the altar.
"Establishing a new dynasty with the name of 'Han'. The Han Dynasty will use the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal as the nation-defining divine artifact to stabilize the nation's Luck. With the Soaring Palace Hall as the center of the Han Dynasty, it will absorb the Luck of the world! We kowtow to the heavens to accept the establishment of our nation! We kowtow to the earth to accept the establishment of our nation! "Gu Hai shouted.
As Gu Hai spoke, he slowly raised the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal and stamped the word "Han" on the Golden Silk Scroll.
"Boom!"
After the imperial seal stamped the name of the nation. It sounded like a sudden clap of thunder.
Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky. A strong wind blew.
"Three kowtows to the heavens. Kowtow!" Suddenly, the master of ceremonies shouted.
"We kowtow to the heavens to accept the establishment of the Han Dynasty!" The three hundred thousand people shouted at the same time.
Following Gu Hai's words, everyone knelt down and kowtowed.
At the same time, in all the cities of the original five nations.
Under the organization of the new officials, all the people walked out of their houses and gathered in the plaza in the center of the city.
In front of the Soaring Palace Hall, Gu Hai shouted and prayed to the heavens. At the same time, the master of ceremonies read aloud. After all, this was such an important ceremony. Gu Hai had planned every word and every sentence.
According to the time, almost at the same time, Gu Hai's words spread throughout the entire nation.
"Three kowtows to the heavens. Kowtow!" The officials in the various cities shouted.
"Old Master Gu has established the nation? That's great. Many thanks to Old Master Gu. Our family can survive! "
"No, we have to call him Emperor now!"
"Right, right, Emperor!"
… … …
… … …
… … …
Amidst the whispers, the people all knelt down.
"We kowtow to the heavens to accept the establishment of the Han Dynasty!" The people all bowed to the heavens.
"We kowtow to the heavens to accept the establishment of the Han Dynasty!"
"We kowtow to the heavens to accept the establishment of the Han Dynasty!"
… … …
… … …
… …
In hundreds of cities, countless people bowed to the heavens. The sound of the people's voices seemed to reach the heavens.
Somehow, the heavens seemed to have sensed it. The entire area under Gu Hai's rule was filled with strong winds, as though it was responding to the wish to establish the nation.
At the entrance of the Soaring Palace Hall.
Gu Hai kowtowed to the heavens three times. Solemnly. His subordinates all followed, looking extremely solemn.
The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed. For a moment, it seemed like there was a breeze blowing from all directions. However, it was a strong wind blowing towards the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal. Then, it came out of the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal and surged towards the majestic Soaring Palace Hall not far away.
Then, the breeze rushed up into the sky and slowly circled around.
Gu Hai looked over and saw that the breeze circling above the Soaring Palace Hall seemed to have a faint golden color.
"Providence? Is this the providence of the people? It gathered above the Soaring Palace Hall? Establishing a nation can indeed store providence? "Gu Hai's eyes lit up.
However, Gu Hai did not pay too much attention to it. Because not far away, the emcee shouted again.
"Three kowtows to the earth, bow!" the emcee shouted.
"We kowtow to the earth, accept the establishment of the Han Dynasty!"
"We kowtow to the earth, accept the establishment of the Han Dynasty!"
… … …
… … …
… …
From Hulao Pass to the hundreds of cities, nearly all the ordinary people cheered loudly.
"Rumble …!"
The will of the people reached the earth, and the earth trembled slightly.
"The ceremony is complete! Rise! "the emcee shouted.
"Rumble …!"
In front of the Soaring Palace Hall, everyone stood up and looked at Gu Hai, who was on the altar.
Gu Hai wore a dragon robe and looked down at all the officials below.
"Today, I establish the Dahan Dynasty as the Water De Dynasty. Here, I confer hundreds of officials to build the Han Dynasty together with me!" Gu Hai shouted.
"May the Emperor live for ten thousand years!"
"Long live the Han Imperial Dynasty! Long live! Long live!"
Everyone below began to cheer loudly.
In the distance, the emcee took out a scroll and shouted.
"By the will of the heavens, the Emperor decrees that Guqin will be the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty!"
Guqin stepped forward, and an attendant immediately put on a robe for him. "This official accepts the title of Crown Prince and thanks the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
"Tang Chu will be the Minister of Revenue of the Han Dynasty!"
A white-haired old man stepped forward, and an attendant immediately put on an official robe for him. "This official accepts the title of Minister of Revenue! Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! "
…
…
"Gao Xianzhi will be the Han Dynasty's First Legion Commander!"
Gao Xianzhi stepped out of the ranks and bowed respectfully, "This subject, Gao Xianzhi, has been bestowed the position of the First Army Commander. Thank you, my Emperor.
"Chen Tianshan will be the Han Dynasty's Second Legion Commander!"
Chen Tianshan was slightly surprised. He did not expect to be conferred the title of Second Legion Commander.
"Your subject, Chen Tianshan, has been bestowed the position of Second Army Commander. Thank you, Your Majesty.
"Scar will be the Han Dynasty's Minister of War!"
"This official accepts the title of Minister of War! Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! "
Chen Tianshan, who was not far away, was slightly surprised. Why was Scar not conferred the title of First Legion Commander but Minister of War? However, since this was Gu Hai's decision, Chen Tianshan did not ask for more details.
The conferment continued.
…
…
…
When all the old shopkeepers following Gu Hai put on their official robes, joy appeared on their faces.
This group of old shopkeepers had followed Gu Hai to conquer the world a long time ago. Gu Hai was very familiar with their abilities. Although they suddenly changed from running a business to running a country, Gu Hai believed that they could do it well.
"Montes will be the Han Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander!"
This shout shocked Chen Tianshan, Scar, Gao Xianzhi, and the others. Even the countless cultivators at the Peony Sect that Montes threatened burst into an uproar.
"What? Montes? Didn't he die in the death puzzle? "
"Gu Hai did not kill him? Doesn't he have a grudge with Gu Hai? "
"Montes is that cold-blooded and vicious person. Gu Hai still wants to give him an official title?"
"Did I see wrongly?"
…
…
…
Countless cultivators looked at the group of officials in disbelief.
Indeed, Montes wore extremely gorgeous embroidered robes. Then, he showed a cold and stern expression as he respectfully stepped forward.
"This official, Montes, accepts the title of Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander. Thank the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Montes shouted.
"Gasp!"
Montes's ferocious reputation was still very intimidating to the cultivators. Sharp intakes of breath rang out in the distance.
"It really is Montes? Gu Hai actually dares? "
"Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander? What position is that? "
"Montes? This ambitious and ruthless person actually submitted to Gu Hai? "
…
…
…
Amid the shock, the conferment of the various officials continued.
Nearly everyone who followed Gu Hai had already been conferred an official title. Only Shangguan Hen sat in a small courtyard not far away, drinking alone.
"Milord, why didn't you …?" a subordinate standing at the side asked with a frown.
Shangguan Hen shook his head and smiled. "His Majesty was going to confer me the title of Legion Commander. However, I will only follow him for twenty years. I told him not to confer a position on me, just to let me stay in Elite Hall's Water Division in name."
"Yes!" That subordinate nodded in confusion.
