As soon as Sage Nakagawa's voice fell, the entire imperial capital, including the outskirts, fell into a dead silence.
Sure enough, this was the true purpose of the Nakagawa Empire's millennium celebration. The so-called celebration was just a reason to gather all the forces. This was also the reason why the Nakagawa Empire held the celebration a few years in advance.
Sage Nakagawa's words were transmitted to the entire Nakagawa Continent through the illusion of the arena.
Countless cultivators saw the scene just now and understood what the Nakagawa Empire wanted to do. Those people or forces who were still hoping for a fluke had no way out at this moment.
"What will come will come. The Nakagawa Empire wants to use the millennium celebration to cleanse the continent!" A cultivator said with an ugly expression.
"Do we really have to submit? The Nakagawa Empire has ruled the Cultivation World for so many years and has always been in a relaxed state. This time, they're going to change this state. According to Sage Nakagawa's words. As long as we don't submit, we're their enemy! "A family head of a third-level cultivation force said with an ashen face.
At this moment, countless cultivators began to think about what to do next.
They didn't want to submit, nor did they want to be pawns or cannon fodder in the hands of the Nakagawa Empire. They were just one of the many living beings in the Cultivation World. Their only goal was to survive and improve their strength as much as possible. However, what the Nakagawa Empire wanted to do now was not as simple as just making them submit.
But what else could they do if they didn't submit?
Some people looked around blankly. In the Cultivation World, who else could they rely on besides the Nakagawa Empire?
At this moment, when the Nine-Emperor Cauldron Formation covered the entire area, these forces with lower cultivation had no way out. The third-level and second-level cultivation forces, who were originally considered superior to most people, could only tremble under this power. They didn't dare to resist at all.
Looking at the top first-class cultivation forces, the moment the peonies bloomed, the laws of the entire capital were covered. Even these big shots, who were usually elusive, were suppressed by the Nakagawa Empire. What other way out did they have?
In the past, they looked at the Nakagawa Empire as a joke and ridiculed the Akatsuki organization for making the Nakagawa Empire a mess, and the once insufferably arrogant Nakagawa Empire couldn't do anything to the Akatsuki organization.
However, when the Nakagawa Empire turned their guns against them, they were shocked to find that the Nakagawa Empire was still the same Nakagawa Empire. They were still powerful, invincible, and the rulers of the continent.
The Nakagawa Empire couldn't do anything to the Akatsuki. It wasn't that the Nakagawa Empire was weak, but that the Akatsuki was too strong.
In the Imperial Capital, the oppressive atmosphere continued. No one stood up to speak, and no one dared to speak, unless they were prepared to submit to the Nakagawa Empire.
Soon, many people set their eyes on the first-class cultivation forces wrapped in light in the sky.
These small figures couldn't lead the trend. Whether they submitted or resisted, they would just go with the flow. The ones who could really make a difference were these first-class cultivation forces.
"We, the Liu family of the Nanlin Region, are willing to follow in the footsteps of the Great Emperor of Nakagawa and become a part of the new order of the cultivation world."
Suddenly, the head of a second-class cultivation force stood up and knelt respectfully on the ground.
As a Mahayana Realm cultivator and a well-known figure in several large regions around the Nanlin Region, the Liu family's actions directly caused a lot of commotion.
Someone had already made a choice to submit to the Nakagawa Empire.
The Nakagawa Empire had been in the cultivation world for so many years, and there were still many forces in their hands. It was just that they had been scared off by the Akatsuki's Operation Yellow Spring, but now that Blue Dragon and the others were gone, no one could threaten these forces, so it wasn't surprising that they would change sides.
"We, the Green Wood Sect of the Fastu Region, are willing to join the Great Emperor of Nakagawa and help the Nakagawa Empire build a supreme empire."
Another Mahayana Realm cultivator knelt down, and a second-class cultivation force chose to submit.
With the first and second, the entire Imperial Capital became lively in an instant. Everyone rushed to express their submission and knelt at the feet of the Sage of Nakagawa.
Lin An glanced at the people below. Most of these people who had submitted were from clans or sects that had a good relationship with the Nakagawa Imperial Family. It wasn't surprising that they would submit at this moment.
In addition, there was also a group of people who had the mark of a peony flower on their chests. Although this group of people didn't know the specific situation, they were also on the Imperial Family's side. Their submission was also expected.
Soon, in the entire Imperial Capital, and even the surrounding areas, one-fifth of the forces and individual cultivators chose to submit. There was no need for each of them to speak, as long as they knelt on the ground, it would be considered as submission.
But other than this one-fifth of people who were bound to submit, the other four-fifths of the forces were still observing.
The current situation wasn't very clear. They were all smart people. Seeing that none of the first-class cultivation forces floating in the sky had made a statement, how could they hand over their lives so quickly?
These first-class cultivation forces were the most important people in the empire's celebration. The other people and forces were just sweeteners. It was naturally best if they had, but it didn't matter if they didn't.
But only the first-class cultivation forces, their own strength and the symbolic meaning they had, made their choice extremely important. This was because only they could possibly fight against the Nakagawa Empire. The other forces were nothing in front of the Nakagawa Empire.
But until now, not a single first-class cultivation force had stepped forward to speak.
"Everyone, please make a statement." Sage Nakagawa saw that the wave of submission had come to an end. He withdrew his gaze without saying anything and looked at the balls of light in the sky on both sides of the sky.
These balls of light were the ones that the Nakagawa Empire truly valued.
Their submission or resistance would have a far-reaching impact on the other forces.
Moreover, according to the ranking rules of the Dayin Tower, the Nakagawa Empire was only a first-class cultivation force. It was just that compared to other forces, this first-class cultivation force was more powerful.
But in the end, it was still a first-class cultivation force. The Nakagawa Empire didn't jump out of this ranking rules and become an existence that surpassed first-class cultivation forces.
So, everyone still had a chance.
"I'm used to being free. I don't like being restrained, let alone submitting. If the Nakagawa Empire insists on making me submit, then we'll have to see if you have the strength to make me willingly become your subordinate." Lin An was the first to step forward and said with a light smile.
