Princess Ji Xuan left. She brought a few thousand people with her. She was still in a daze. She also brought a batch of snow eagles. She didn't bring any ultrasonic flying beasts because the snow eagle army didn't have the Nightmare Stone.
Gang Yi brought tens of thousands of people. Even though he didn't know where they were going, he at least knew what it was. It was the ruins of the ancient Great Tribulation Temple.
When Princess Ji Xuan brought these few thousand people out to sea, she didn't even know where they were going. Shen Lang gave her ten ships. They were all big ships with sails. Similarly, they didn't have the ancient core or the Nightmare Stone.
Originally, he could have given her an internal combustion engine battleship, but in the end, he gave up on the idea because the voyage was too far, so far that Shen Lang and Ji Xuan could not find it on the map. If it was an internal combustion engine battleship, where could she go to replenish the fuel?
"Goodbye, I hope we can meet again." Shen Lang waved.
Princess Ji Xuan's fleet left the dock and headed towards the east, towards the vast unknown sea.
She kept looking in the direction of land, in the direction of her homeland. After a hundred miles, she couldn't see any land. All she could see was the endless ocean.
Princess Ji Xuan couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She had never cried before, but this time she cried.
The eastern world was her homeland. The Great Yan Empire was her homeland. Even though she wasn't in Yan Capital most of the time, she knew where her home was.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be sad. Although His Majesty the Emperor has passed away, the Empress Dowager is still around. The Crown Prince … No, King Ji Xian is still around. Hence, your family is still in the Flame Capital. I believe that His Majesty Shen Lang will abide by the ancient tradition and will not exterminate the Jiang Family," a female general said.
Princess Ji Xuan shook her head. The people around her didn't know anything. Of course, she didn't know anything either. She only had an instinctive feeling, the feeling before a disaster.
"Your Highness, have we been banished?" Another warrior from the Ji Clan asked.
Princess Ji Xuan shook her head, "No, we have been released."
Then, she walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the endless ocean in the east. Sadness welled up in her heart.
To hell with Shen Lang, where exactly should I go?
I can't go to the Ten Thousand Li Great Desert. I have to go to a place that no one knows about. Where can I find such a place?
"Your Highness, where's our destination?" Another Ji Clan's military general spoke from the side.
"East, east, straight east," Ji Xuan said.
Because the planet was round, she would reach the Xilun Empire if she kept heading east. However, her goal wasn't the Xilun Empire, but to continue heading east. Where would she end up if she kept heading east? She really didn't know.
The world was round, but it was also divided. At least until now, no one had successfully traveled around the world.
"Your Highness, will we be able to return?" Someone else asked.
"I will, I definitely will." Princess Ji Xuan said. Her tone was very firm, but she didn't believe her own words.
There was no more chance for him to return. There was no more chance for him to set foot on his homeland in this lifetime.
… …
Within Yan Capital, the transition of power was in full swing.
It seemed so magnificent, yet so peaceful. Because of the deterrence of the giant dragon, and because of the cooperation of the Ji Clan, there was almost no resistance during the entire process. The Great Qian Empire's cabinet and Privy Council successfully took over the entire Yan Capital.
The Great Qian Empire successfully took back control of all the ultrasonic flying beasts and the entire Snow Eagle Army.
Even the Great Yan Empire's special forces and secret army surrendered unconditionally.
There was another matter that made him speechless, and that was the Yin Yuan Association also surrendered. When Shu Tingyu and all the Yin Yuan Association elders knelt in front of Shen Lang, he was truly a little shocked.
Shu Tingyu wasn't dead yet? He had really forgotten about this person. However, his father, Shu Bodao, was already dead. He had committed suicide.
Then, Shen Lang finally met Huang Tong of the Heavenly Law Association.
Originally, when old friends met, there should be joy and excitement.
Of course, Huang Tong was very excited. He had been imprisoned for a few years, and now he could finally see the light of day again. Moreover, he could once again realize his ambitions.
In the Yan Capital Palace, Shen Lang only issued one decree.
From now on, he would be called Jiang Ye.
This day had finally arrived. Although in many official titles, Shen Lang was actually Jiang Lang. However, Shen Lang never issued any official decree to change his surname. Now, he finally announced to the world that he would return to the surname Jiang.
However … only Jiang Ye had returned. Shen Lang still did not officially change his surname to Jiang.
The people of the world could not help but be astonished. Previously, when he did not change his surname back to Jiang, everyone was able to understand that His Majesty Shen Lang definitely wanted to defeat the Ji family and seize back the position of the Eastern Human Emperor before proceeding to this step.
However, now that His Majesty Shen Lang had defeated the Great Yan Emperor, he still did not change back to the surname Jiang. If he did not have the surname Jiang, he would never be able to ascend to the throne. The world could not have the surname Shen, because the surname Shen Lang came from his adoptive father, Shen Wan. He was just a commoner.
However, no one from the Great Qian Empire's Privy Council spoke up, so the officials below did not dare to speak up.
… …
In the imperial garden of the palace, Prince Jin and Shen Lang were taking a stroll.
"Your Majesty, now that we have unified the entire eastern world, including the Northern Militant, our territory is more than 16 million square kilometers."
Shen Lang grinned. Under the situation of backward transportation and communication, ruling over seven to eight million square kilometers of land was already the limit. After the decline of the Tang Dynasty, they also lost their rule over Anxi. The Yuan Dynasty claimed to have more than 10 million square kilometers, but there were also many independent states.
Now, his Great Qian Dynasty was actually more than 16 million square kilometers.
Of course, he had tens of thousands of snow eagles, thousands of ultrasonic flying beasts, and ruled as a vassal state, so he could barely cope.
However, this territory had already exceeded the Great Yan Dynasty's heyday.
"Your Majesty, it only took three wars to conquer the eastern world, and the people of the world did not suffer from the chaos of war. This is an unprecedented great achievement." Prince Jin exclaimed, then changed to the main topic, "Currently, there are two thoughts. The first is that the Great Qian Dynasty should set the capital at the Qian Capital, but the Yan Capital exceeds the Qian Capital in terms of size, so we have to rebuild the Qian Capital and raze all the illegal buildings in the Yan Capital Palace to the ground."
"The second thought is that there is also a group of people who think that we should move the capital to the Yan Capital. After all, this is the place of the Emperor, the land of the Son of Heaven. However, we need to change the name of the Yan Capital to the Qian Capital, and the original Qian Capital will be changed to the Jiang Capital! However, many officials have concerns. After all, this is the capital that the Ji Clan has operated for hundreds of years, and their power is deeply rooted. If we want to move the capital to the Yan Capital, we must first uproot the entire Ji Clan, either by imprisoning them or exiling them. "
Shen Lang, "Brother Jin, what do you think?"
Prince Jin, "I partially agree with the second plan. After all, the Qian Capital is too remote, and the Yan Capital is the center of the world. Therefore, we should change the name of the Yan Capital to the Qian Capital, and the original Qian Capital to the Jiang Capital. However, I also think that we should move the last few hundred thousand people who stayed in the Qian Capital to the capital, as well as the most loyal citizens of the Great Qian Empire. "
Shen Lang, "Alright, let's do it that way."
Prince Jin, "As for how to deal with the Ji Clan, I don't dare to say."
Shen Lang suddenly said, "Brother Jin, I once promised you that after the Great Qian Empire stabilizes, I will let you go back to the Sand Primitive Tribe and rebuild your Da Nan Kingdom. Now, it seems that it is not possible for a long time to come."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Prince Jin said.
Shen Lang, "Brother Jin, do you know what is the most difficult thing to do?"
Prince Jin, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty," said Shen Lang.
Shen Lang, "Enduring hardships, enduring humiliation to carry out the mission."
Prince Jin couldn't help but shiver. He didn't understand Shen Lang's words.
Shen Lang, "Brother Jin, no matter what happens next, I hope that you will always be in the Great Qian Empire's cabinet. No matter what official position you are in, you must stay here like a nail. Even if the world is turned upside down, you must stay in the center of the empire."
Prince Jin's expression changed drastically. He trembled as he asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?!"
Shen Lang, "Just remember what I said."
Prince Jin, "Then, what about the Crown Prince?"
Shen Lang, "Assist the Crown Prince with all your might. Stand by his side at all times. He will be able to protect you in the future."
Prince Jin's body trembled as he knelt on the ground. He had never cried before, but now, tears gushed out of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, why did you do this? Why did you do this? What happened?" Prince Jin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He trembled as he said, "Before I met Your Majesty, although I had some achievements, they were not worth mentioning. After I met Your Majesty, my life gained meaning. Only then did my dreams blossom. I will be loyal to the Great Qian Empire, and even more so to Your Majesty. For Your Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water. I am willing to become the enemy of the entire world. "
"No, no …" Shen Lang, "We want to protect the entire world. Especially you. Remember what I said, do you?"
Prince Jin, "Assist the Crown Prince with all your might. No matter what happens, you must stay in the center of the empire. Even if it means enduring hardships and humiliation to carry out the mission."
"Alright."
Prince Jin kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty's decree, I will never forget it. I will remember it for the rest of my life! I am willing to abandon all honor and dignity to carry out Your Majesty's will. "
Shen Lang bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Jin!"
Next, Shen Lang conferred the title of Great Qian Empire's Crown Prince, Ji Xian, as Great Qian Empire's Prince Yan and Prince Lian as Duke Lian.
Not only these two, but a dozen other people of the Ji Clan were also conferred the title of Duke and Marquis.
Instantly, everyone from the Ji Clan came to the palace to express their gratitude and cheer.
Shen Lang's decree seemed to have set the tone. He would abide by the ancient tradition and let the Ji Clan step down smoothly.
To a certain extent, the Ji Clan was touched because Shen Lang still hadn't ascended the throne. Instead, he conferred titles to them in the name of the Great Qian Empire.
Next, Shen Lang left New Qianjing (Flame Capital) and returned to Raging Tide City amidst everyone's bewilderment.
What, what does this mean?
Is His Majesty never going to be an emperor?
Could it be that he wants to wait for the Crown Prince to grow up and ascend the throne?
Fortunately, he wasn't like the traditional founding emperors who worked hard to build the empire. Therefore, there was a group of people following behind him who wanted glory and wealth. This way, if Shen Lang didn't become an emperor, he wouldn't be able to confer titles to them. It could be considered as blocking their path.
However, most of the people following Shen Lang were idealists. When he returned from the Western World, the situation was so pessimistic. If they weren't idealists, they wouldn't be able to survive.
Moreover, a few of the important officials under him were already princes and couldn't be promoted anymore.
When Shen Lang left New Qian Capital, he didn't bid farewell to anyone.
When the former Crown Prince of the Great Yan Empire heard this, he was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
"Your Highness, what happened? What happened? " The former Prince Lian, Prince Wu, was now Duke Lian. Duke Wu was filled with uneasiness. He came to Ji Xian's residence, which used to be the Crown Prince's residence.
Normally, the Crown Prince's residence was forbidden. Ji Xian should have moved out and given it to Jiang Ye.
However, Shen Lang directly issued a decree and changed the Crown Prince's residence to Prince Yan's residence. He could still stay there and didn't even need to move.
If one were to say that he was magnanimous, this was too magnanimous.
"Why did His Majesty do this? Why did he do this?" Duke Lian trembled. "He didn't change his surname back to Jiang, didn't call himself the Emperor, and now he's leaving. Something must have happened. If something happens, what should the Ji Clan do? Will the Crown Prince and the rest of the Great Qian Empire tolerate our Ji Clan after His Majesty left? "
The former Crown Prince of Great Yan, Ji Xian, was also filled with uneasiness, but he forced himself to calm down. His father was dead, and he became the head of the Ji Clan. There was no one to shoulder the family's responsibilities for him anymore.
Moreover, he couldn't shoulder the responsibility of an empire, but he should at least shoulder the responsibility of a family.
"We have to believe in His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Prime Minister," Ji Xian said. Ji Xian said, "His Majesty let Ji Xuan take her people away, but let us stay. He must have his reasons for doing so. Don't try to guess his intentions."
Duke Wu said, "Why don't you go to Raging Tide City and seek an audience with His Majesty for peace of mind?"
Duke Lian said, "There's no need for that, there's no need for that."
When Shen Lang was in the Flame Capital, the Ji Clan was still relatively calm. Now that he was gone, the entire Ji Clan was in a state of panic.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived," someone shouted from outside.
Ji Xian immediately led his men out to welcome the Crown Prince. He fell to his knees and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I'm honored by Your Highness's presence."
Jiang Ye said, "Please rise, Prince Yan. I have a few words to say to you."
"Understood!" Ji Xian said.
… …
Ji Xian and Jiang Ye were the only ones in the study.
"I believe Prince Yan has sensed this unique atmosphere as well. It's like a terrifying storm is brewing." Jiang Ye said, "My father has returned to Raging Tide City. The Ji Clan is worried that I'll turn against you and eliminate you."
Ji Xian kowtowed and said, "I have no such thoughts."
Jiang Ye said, "My father sent Princess Ji Xuan overseas to protect her. I'm sure he has his reasons for leaving most of the Ji Clan members in the eastern world. However, before he returned to Raging Tide City, he told me that he might owe Great Yan's former emperor a favor. That's why he wants me to do my best to protect all of you. "
"Prince Yan, I'm still young. I don't understand some of my father's words, but I'll definitely listen to him. If I understand, I'll do it. If I don't, I'll do it. "
Ji Xian kowtowed heavily. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
… …
Shen Lang returned to Raging Tide City alone, moreover, he returned on a Super Chao.
"Lost Demon Mother, are you still not going to reveal your true appearance to me?" Shen Lang said with a smile.
On the surface of the sea, the seawater once again condensed into a graceful body. The Lost Demon Mother met Shen Lang in this form.
Shen Lang said, "Looks like you're really ugly."
The Lost Demon Mother said, "Your Majesty, did you summon me just to mock me?"
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "No, that's not it."
Then, he said with a smile, "Lost Demon Mother, we've become friends after a fight. I'm very grateful for your support in the past. It allowed me to defeat Great Yan's emperor and achieve my goal of having no enemies under the heavens."
The Lost Demon Mother asked, "How does it feel to have no enemies under the heavens?"
Shen Lang said, "It feels endless."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk …" The Lost Demon Mother said, "You're too hypocritical. It's like a man who has entered the state of a sage."
Shen Lang said with a smile, "Looks like you know a lot."
The Lost Demon Mother said, "I've read too much about filthy psychology. I know everything."
Shen Lang was silent for a moment. After half a minute, he said, "Lost Demon Mother, leave with your people."
The Lost Demon Mother said, "Oh my, as expected of the emperor of a human nation. Now that you've unified the human nation, aren't you going to make me a prince or something?"
Shen Lang said, "Alright, whatever you want, I will confer it to you."
"Forget it." The Lost Demon Mother said, "I'm from the Lost Empire. What's wrong with accepting a title from the Eastern Empire? I would've left even if you hadn't chased me away. Now that you've won a great victory, we have no reason to stay in the Eastern Empire's territory. I remember our boundaries clearly. I've been waiting for you to come back and say goodbye. After that, we'll return to the Great Devil Triangle. "
Shen Lang said in a hoarse voice, "Don't … don't go back to the Great Devil Triangle. Once you're there, bring all the descendants of the Lost Empire and go far away."
The Lost Demon Mother's expression changed. She said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean? His Majesty Shen Lang wouldn't turn his back on us like this. From the beginning to the end, the Great Devil Triangle has never belonged to the Eastern Empire. Even though it is relatively close to you, it was established by our Lost Empire. Could it be that you want to turn hostile and completely expel us back to the Western Sea Region? "
Shen Lang said nothing. He only looked at the Lost Demon Mother quietly.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." The Lost Demon Mother said, "I know you're not that kind of person. But I've always been this harsh."
Shen Lang said, "The Great Devil Triangle is no longer safe. Even … all the places in our known world are no longer safe. Bring the descendants of the Lost Empire to the furthest, most secretive place that no one can find. "
The Lost Demon Mother trembled, "What happened?"
Shen Lang said, "Look at the sky."
The Lost Demon Mother looked up at the sky. Snow was falling again.
"It's snowing again." The Lost Demon Mother said, "The Fury Tide City has been especially cold this year."
Shen Lang said, "Do you trust me, Lost Demon Mother?"
The Lost Demon Mother looked at Shen Lang for a long time and said, "You're a scum, but I trust you. I trust you more than I trust myself. In the ruins of the Lost Empire, you showed a very … idiotic temperament. "
"Uh, thanks for the compliment." Shen Lang said, "Since you trust me, then leave. Take advantage of the fact that I can still buy some time for all of you. The further you go, the better. Take all the descendants of the Lost Empire with you."
The Lost Demon Mother trembled, "Where … where else can we go? This world is so small. Where else can we go? "
This world was big, but it was also small.
Shen Lang said, "I don't know where you can go. With your ancient memories, go as far as you can."
The Lost Demon Mother said angrily, "Can we still fly to the sky? Even if we can, it's useless. Someone will still find us if they want to find us, and they will kill us if they want to kill us. "
Shen Lang remained silent and just looked at her.
The Lost Demon Mother was silent for a long time, then said, "Your Majesty, is this farewell forever?"
Shen Lang said, "It shouldn't be. I hope to see you again in the future. I hope that you can survive, so that I will be more powerful in the future. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. As long as we don't all die, there is still hope. "
The Lost Demon Mother trembled, "Die? Then you should be worried about your Furious Tide, your son, your Great Qian Empire, and your human empire. They are weaker than us. "
Shen Lang said, "They won't."
The Lost Demon Mother said, "Then, what about you?"
Shen Lang said, "I hope to see you again and fight side by side in the future."
The Lost Demon Mother stared at Shen Lang for a long time. Then, her body made of seawater completely enveloped Shen Lang.
"Remember your words, Your Majesty. You must fulfill your promise." The Lost Demon Mother said, "I will take everyone away. I will follow the ancient memories and find the most secret place to hide. But remember your promise. You must come to us. You must. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. "
Shen Lang said, "Okay, goodbye."
The Lost Demon Mother flew into the sky with the countless flying fish legion and the aerial jellyfish legion, bidding farewell to Shen Lang.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty. Remember your promise."
Then, the Lost Demon Mother took the army of the lost empire south, leaving the Furious Tide and the Eastern Empire.
After returning to the Devil Triangle, she would take all the sea monster legion and leave.
… …
On an island not far from the Furious Tide.
Shen Lang finally fulfilled his promise to the Fire God Sect's High Priest Shelley, even though it was a few years late.
"Your Majesty, am I waiting for this once in a thousand years?" Priest Shelley covered her stomach and said, "I can feel that there is a small life growing inside."
Shen Lang said, "You are exaggerating. Even flying can't be that fast."
High Priest Shelley kissed Shen Lang. "You don't understand. This is a woman's intuition."
Shen Lang looked into her eyes, then smiled and said, "Let's go. Return to the western world, return to the Fire God Church. Tell your Church Leader to take everyone from the Fire God Church and flee far away. The further, the better. It's best if you go to a place where you'll never find them."
Grand Priest Shelley's gaze instantly became sorrowful. She stared at Shen Lang for a long while before saying, "Alright, I will obey, Your Majesty."
Shen Lang said, "Aren't you going to ask why?"
"I won't." Grand Priest Shelley said, "We are a mysterious force, so in some aspects, we are able to comprehend things earlier than normal humans. In the face of a disaster, we are more sensitive. I just want to ask, Your Majesty, did the Fire God Sect get into trouble? Did we get into trouble? "
"No …" Shen Lang said, "Perhaps all of this is inevitable. If some things have to happen, it's better to happen earlier than later. Let's go, let's go. I've prepared eight thousand snow eagles for you. That's about all I can do. "
High Priest Shelley hugged Shen Lang and trembled. "I have been working hard these few years just for this moment. How many more years do I have to work hard? So that I can get back the next moment, the next moment to hug you? "
Shen Lang said, "Don't be like this. I am a married man. I am a serious person. I definitely won't fool around outside."
"Pfft …" Shelley couldn't help but laugh. She kissed Shen Lang's lips and tears flowed out.
"Your Majesty, the Fire God Sect will try our best to hide. We will find a place where no one knows where to hide. Then, we will try our best to develop and become stronger." Shelley trembled. "But I also want you to promise me one thing. In the future, you must come and find us. We will really try our best to become stronger. We will definitely be of help to you in the future."
"Okay!" Shen Lang said, "I will remember that. There is another group of people. Bring them along."
"I am not leaving, I am not leaving, I am not leaving …" Suddenly, there was a roar from outside.
It was the most talented Grand Secretary Tang En under Shen Lang. He was definitely a science geek.
High Priest Shelley quickly put on her clothes and helped Shen Lang put on his clothes. The two of them walked out of the tent.
Grand Secretary Tang En knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Your Majesty Shen Lang, why do you want us to leave? Although you have conquered the world and you no longer have any enemies, we have only just begun to walk the path of the ancient mountain civilization and the technological civilization. We have only achieved very little, and there are still many unknown things waiting for us. There are even greater achievements waiting for us. Why do you want to expel us? "
Shen Lang said, "I am not chasing you away. I am protecting you! I will need your power in the future. I cannot leave you in the East anymore. Otherwise, there will be a disaster. You will escape with the Fire God Sect. But do not stop exploring the path of technological civilization and the Nightmare Stone civilization. Remember our Doomsday Plan. Remember our dream. Conquer the sea of stars. When you have truly grasped the highest power in this world, this world will truly belong to you and us. "
Moments later!
8,000 snow eagles flew into the sky and headed towards the Fire God Sect in the West. They took away all the scholars and all the uranium.
This aerial army blotted out the sky and covered the sun in a grandiose manner. But moments later, they could no longer be seen.
… …
Those who should be sent away were all sent away.
All eggs could not be placed in one basket. The flame of hope could not be extinguished.
Gang Yi's Great Tribulation Temple, Zuo Ci's Sky-sea Pavilion, Fire God Sect, Ji Xuan, and the Lost Demon Mother's sea monster army.
The five forces were all sent away.
In Shen Lang's eyes, these were the sparks of hope for the future.
After saying goodbye to Ning Yuanxian and his family, Shen Lang prepared to head north to the White Jade Capital to see his mother.
