The World Online

Chapter 846 – Coronation Ceremony (Part 2)

After the purple dragon entered the vassal, the country protecting God Weapon was formed.

The vassal glowed in the sky, and its aura spread through tens of thousands of miles, pressing down on the world around it. It shrank towards the inside and turned into a finger-sized green vassal as it flew down, infusing itself into the brows of Ouyang Shuo. Then it traveled down and stopped above Ouyang Shuo’s dantian and started to slowly rotate.

While it turned, it spat out spiritual energy to feed Ouyang Shuo, its master.

Influenced by this, Ouyang Shuo’s dantian expanded to double its previous size. Even with his deep cultivation base, his dantian still emitted a swelling pain. Luckily, the golden primordial energy in the dantian continued to swallow the spiritual energy and merge with it, quickly strengthening at a discernible rate.

Instantly, the golden primordial energy once again filled up the dantian.

Ouyang Shuo’s dantian had already transformed into a golden ocean with the green vassal stopped on the ocean surface, calming down the ocean waves. The giant purple dragon came out of the green vassal and roamed the ocean, really carefree.

At this very moment, a System Notification sounded out in Ouyang Shuo’s ear.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, country protecting God Weapon has been created, successfully established the Great Xia Dynasty, reign title is Shenwu, please check the stats of the country protecting God Weapon.”

Name: Great Xia Vassal (God) Type: Country Protecting God Weapon. Stat: Comprehension +5, Bone Structure +5, Luck +10, Charm +10 Specialty: Repress Fortunes (Any Great Xia Dynasty territory is protected by the country protecting God Weapon, directing the power of the dynasty to protect the people, raises border defense by 80%, raises troops combat strength by 50%, raises Capital City defense by 150%, raises overall body quality of civilians by 50%, raises dynasty unity by 50%.) Specialty: True Dragon Protection (Son of God is protected by the true dragon, untainted by evil, devilish creatures avoid, automatically form a domain. Blades and swords find it hard to hit him and can automatically save its master) Specialty: Bound item, can be brought out of the game world. Skill: Dragon Fist of the Son of God (Gather the power of the imperial vassal, accumulating spiritual energy to punch out, splitting oceans, unstoppable. Cooldown Time: One year.) Evaluation: Country Protecting God Weapon represses the fate and fortune of an entire country; it is an absolute treasure. Unique item, bound, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded, can be upgraded.

Without a doubt, this was the best country protecting God Weapon that Ouyang Shuo had ever seen.

With this vassal, not only did it greatly increase the overall strength of the Great Xia Dynasty, but Ouyang Shuo’s personal safety was also insured. Even if he faced any danger, the weapon would save him.

Most crucially, the vassal could be brought out of the game, which also meant that in the game cabin on the spaceship, Ouyang Shuo’s dantian also had such a small vassal, really mysterious.

This was the first big prize that Gaia had given to the winner of the wilderness. From now on, the Great Xia Dynasty would be connected to Ouyang Shuo’s physical body, and their luck and fate were connected. They would share joy together and mishap.

At this point, Ouyang Shuo had laid down his first stable roots in real life.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for cultivating Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique: Qi Cultivation to the 12th layer, please look for the next set of the method Huangting Scripture (also known as the Yellow Court Scripture).”

Based on what Ouyang Shuo knew, the Huangting Scripture should be in the Battle of Fei River.

The Huangting Scripture was also named the Lao Zi Huangting Scripture, and its contents included the Huangting External Jade Scripture and the Huangting Internal Jade Scripture. Between the two Jin dynasties, a Central Scripture was added.

The external scripture was older than the internal scripture, and its earliest date was at the Han Dynasty and no later than the Three Kingdoms. On the other hand, the internal scripture was mostly from the Wei Jin period.

As a result, Gaia would release the Huangting Scripture during the Wei Jin Northern and Southern Dynasties. … “System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for training the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique: Qi cultivation to the 12th layer, giving birth to a new cultivation method specialty – earth element.

Earth element: One of the five elements, yellow in color. It is one of the values of the heaven and earth and also that of the emperor, raises interaction between heaven and mankind.

Similar to the Way of the Emperor that he gained when he broke through to the 6th layer, it was another unclear specialty.

Luckily, although the description was very vague, Ouyang Shuo already knew how the Way of the Emperor had benefited him, so it seemed like the earth element would also slowly change him.

After completing his training in the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique, Ouyang Shuo’s combat strength evaluation rose to the middle of the platinum rank. Even if he faced generals like Er’Lai, he would not be at a disadvantage. … System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, nourished by the country establishment energy, country establishment treasure Emperor Seal has upgraded to Imperial Seal.”

Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to look at its stat, and he took up the seal first. Only to see the words, ‘Receive the Mandate of Heaven, live and prosper forever’ around the four corners and the words Great Xia Dynasty on the face of the seal.

Name: Imperial Seal (God Rank) Type: Dynasty Secret Treasure Stat: Bone Structure +5, comprehension +5, luck +5, charm +5

Specialty: Ward Off Devils and Spirits (incorruptible and helps chase away evil) Protection of Fate (using the might of the emperor to lead the fate and prosperity of the territory to protect the people.) Country Established (raises people’s sentiment by 50%, raises dynasty fate and prosperity by 30%) Evaluation: This is an emperor seal that has been unsealed, having the spirit of a Qilin beast injected into it. It can affect the fate of an entire country, a pinnacle treasure, a necessity for establishing a country.

Compared to the emperor seal, the imperial seal was more orthodox and could be used to give out imperial decrees.

Decrees with the seal of the imperial seal were like decrees being stamped with the prosperity and luck of the entire territory and could not be changed. It held the utmost authority and power, like a rule of the heavens. … “System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, nourished by the country establishment prosperity and energy, the Temple of Heaven’s Shang Ding transformed into the Xia Ding, stats have been improved.”

Name: Xia Ding (God Rank) Stats: Divine Protection (raises defense of territory by 40%), Supremacy (raises the majesty of the Lord by 40%), Omnidirectional Suppression (raises the combat prowess of the army by 40%). Description: This was a dynasty Fang Ding and was the symbol of nobility and power; item can be used for worship. Specialty: Suppress (Enemy troops that attack into the Capital City will have their combat strength weakened by 40%)

Compared to the Shang Ding, the Xia Ding had upgraded to a God Weapon. Not only did its stats double, but it even had a new specialty – suppress.

With that, he had the country protector beast, country protecting God Weapon, imperial seal, and Xia Ding. From the start of the Great Xia Dynasty, he had gathered the four items.

At this stage, the heaven worshiping ceremony came to an end.

Just the infusion of prosperity and luck during the heaven worshiping ceremony had given Ouyang Shuo and his Great Xia Dynasty a lot of benefits. The various secret treasures were all upgraded. … After the heaven worshipping ceremony ended, he still needed to worship the earth as well as the ancestral temple. Once it all ended, Ouyang Shuo boarded the palanquin and entered the main hall. In the hall, the various officials all knelt, “Welcome the king!”

Ouyang Shuo walked forwards slowly. The seat he usually sat on was replaced with a throne that was much taller and wider and could fit three people. The moment he sat down, the hall became totally silent.

The ritualist shouted, “Officials bow!”

“Qianshui Qianshui, Qian Qianshui!” The officials kowtowed three times.

Ouyang Shuo sat on the throne and regained his senses; he was now the king, “Rise!”

“Thank you, my king!”

Ouyang Shuo said, “For me to ascend to the throne and sweep the wilderness, it’s all thanks to all of you. For your efforts, the Imperial Court and I will reward you greatly!”

The cabinet led the officials and once again chanted, “Qianshui Qianshui Qian Qian Shui!”

Ouyang Shuo was extremely calm and tossed out the Imperial Court official appointments that were already decided beforehand, “When the king ascends, the official positions cannot be left empty. Jiang Shang will take up the role of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Kou Zhun will take up the role of assistant.”

Jiang Shang and Kou Zhun were prepared already. Furthermore, they had already done this before in history. They were really too emotional as they went up and bowed, “Thank you king for your good grace, Qian Shui Qian Shui Qian Qianshui!”

Ouyang Shuo followed by giving appointments to the other officials, “Promote the Administration Bureau to the Administration Court, the Internal Affairs Bureau to the Internal Affairs Court, the Financial Bureau to the Financial Court, and the Military Affairs Bureau to the Privy Court. Xiao He will be the Administration Minister, Wei Yang will be the Internal Affairs Minister, Fan Li will be the Financial Minister, and Du Ruhui will be the Military Affairs Minister. These four ministers will be the heads of all the other officials.”

The four of them stepped out and bowed, “Thank you king for your good grace, Qian Shui Qian Shui Qian Qianshui!”

Only these six were able to get their positions here. The appointments of the other big organizations would be handed out through imperial decrees and not one by one.

Apart from appointments, there were also titles.

Ouyang Shuo said slowly, “For me to ascend to the throne and sweep the wilderness, it’s all thanks to all of you. For your efforts, the Imperial Court and I will reward you greatly!”

The cabinet led the officials and once again chanted, “Qianshui Qianshui Qian Qian Shui!”

At this moment, Ouyang Shuo was a little emotional, thinking back to how they started from a small village all the way to their current state. He had relied on the many generals and officials.

Based on the settings of Gaia, although Ouyang Shuo was a king, his class was still Duke. Hence, he could only give outside ministers titles that were three classes lower than his own and inner ministers two classes lower.

As a result, they could at most be given the title of 3rd class Marquis. Even a player like Bai Hua, who was already a 2nd class Marquis, had her class frozen by Gaia after Consonance City merged with Shanhai City.

After Ouyang Shuo ascended the throne, he could give her back her rank. As for the decrease in class, it could only wait till after Ouyang Shuo’s personal class increased for him to make up for it.
