Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

To truly rejuvenate these Immortal Domains, to nurture enough living beings and cultivators, and even to give birth to powerful figures, providing the Immortal Dynasty with a continuous stream of Qi Fortune and strength, this requires massive resource investment and prolonged time accumulation.

"Pass on my edict."

The calm voice of Gu Qingfeng echoed in the grand hall, suppressing all shock and thoughts.

"For the many newly incorporated Immortal Domains, especially those hollow ones where the Human Clan is scarce or extinct, the Immortal Dynasty must prioritize immigration restoration to revive them."

His gaze turned to Nan Haoran,

"The Immortal Dao Department shall take the lead, collaborating with the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Industry, and other departments to formulate a detailed plan.

Guide the migration of populations and cultivators from existing Immortal Domains to settle in these places as much as possible.

For those cultivators and families willing to go, the Immortal Dynasty may provide compensation in cultivation resources according to their cultivation contributions to reassure them."

"However, regarding the specific management herein, the formulation and execution of compensation standards, and other complex matters..."

Gu Qingfeng's tone paused.

"You shall be fully responsible for these, my beloved minister!"

Gu Qingfeng clearly understood his position.

As the ruler of a dynasty, he only needed to control the major decisions; the remaining details would naturally be completed by his officials.

If he had to personally handle every detail, what would be the purpose of establishing this vast bureaucracy and appointing these high-ranking Immortal officials?

To old ministers like Nan Haoran, who have served the Immortal Dynasty loyally for tens of thousands of years, following him since their humble beginnings, their loyalty has been well-tested, and their capabilities sufficiently proven, Gu Qingfeng naturally trusts them.

In response,

Nan Haoran's heart trembled, as he solemnly accepted the command, his voice resounding.

"Your Majesty, I obey! I shall spare no effort to fulfill the trust bestowed by you!"

This is a great trust, and also a severe test.

Faced with such favorable opportunities, Nan Haoran has no reason to refuse.

Only by doing the utmost to accomplish the task brilliantly can one repay the sovereign's grace.

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly and continued, his tone carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

"I have only one requirement, which is that within ten million years, I want these four hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Domains to fully recover to life.

Additionally, the distribution of cultivation resources by the Immortal Dynasty will focus on these domains in urgent need of restoration, assisting them to get back on track as soon as possible.

He paused and continued further.

"On this basis, within a hundred million years, I hope that every Immortal Domain under our control will have local cultivators successfully reaching the Heavenly Venerate Realm!"

These words, upon being spoken, even made Nan Haoran shudder, pressure as mountainous.

To have four hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Domains recover basic life within ten million years, although a vast project, is actually not too difficult.

One of the greatest advantages of the Human Clan is strong reproductive ability, with relatively short growth cycles.

Ordinary mortals can have offspring every three years, and it takes merely twenty to thirty years from birth to adulthood.

With the full effort of the Immortal Dynasty, even within less than ten million years, perhaps even just a hundred thousand years or a mere ten thousand years, the population within a barren Immortal Domain can explode exponentially.

Thus, the difficulty of the first goal is controllable.

The true challenge is the second goal - nurturing Heavenly Venerates across all Immortal Domains.

Four hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Domains.

Representing four hundred and fifty thousand Heavenly Venerates.

Throughout the entire Endless Immortal Domain, whether there can be so many Heavenly Venerates is questionable.

Even if the standard is lowered, setting an average of one Heavenly Venerate per every thousand or ten thousand Immortal Domains, the difficulty of this goal remains extreme.

Heavenly Venerate Realm is difficult to certify!

From ancient times to today, many remarkable Great Emperors have spent their lifetime stuck at this crucial step, until life runs out, returned to dust.

Understanding this.

Gu Qingfeng knows.

Nan Haoran knows well.

He took a deep breath, converting all the pressure into motivation, responding again respectfully and resolutely:

"Your Majesty's ambition is admirable! We, ministers, shall spare no effort, do our utmost, mobilize all resources of the Immortal Dynasty, widely open gates for ascension, to strive not to disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"

He understands that even though it's unrealistic for a single Immortal Domain to produce a Heavenly Venerate, they must at least ensure that the output rate of strong individuals in the Immortal Domains reaches a satisfying level.

Otherwise, it would mean his capacity as Chief of Immortal Dao affairs is insufficient, failing the sovereign's grace.

A hundred million years is both long and short, enough for mortal civilizations to cycle a thousandfold.

But for such grand endeavors as nurturing Heavenly Venerates, it is rather tight.

Pressure is pressure; Nan Haoran doesn't speak further.

If the Immortal Emperor has already made the decision, as officials, they simply need to take the command and execute, doing their utmost.

The extent to which it can be achieved, whether it meets the Emperor's expectations, must be tested over time, and depends on the dynasty's Qi Fortune and future opportunities.

Seeing the policy on Immortal Domain recovery and development preliminarily arranged, Gu Qingfeng's gaze slowly swept over all high-ranking officials in the hall.

After a moment of silence.

He spoke again, his voice not high, yet like thunder exploding in everyone's ear:

"Additionally -"

"I decide that after stabilizing newly gained territories, I shall proceed with relocating the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm, moving it entirely here, to guard the forefront of this newly expanded territory, serving as the eternal national gate for my Immortal Dynasty!"

"Relocating Mystic Sky Immortal Realm?"

"Immortal Emperor defending the national gate?"

These words, like a destructive star cast into a calm lake,

caused everyone in the hall, whether civil officials or military generals, to dramatically change their expressions, pupils contracting, faces filled with shock and fear.

Mystic Sky Immortal Realm, what place is it? It is the birthplace and rising point of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, the core where the Immortal Dynasty's Qi Fortune converges, Gu Qingfeng's imperial hometown, the foundation of countless dynasty elders and core families! It bears the deep historical heritage and the most complete and powerful defense system of the dynasty!

It's said that the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm is the heart and lifeblood of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty!

Nan Haoran was the first to lose composure, disregarding etiquette, quickly stepping forward to oppose, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Your Majesty! This can never be allowed! Mystic Sky Immortal Realm is the foundation of the dynasty, the source of Qi Fortune, no risk can be permitted!!"

Luo Tian followed closely, clasping fists solemnly.

"Your Majesty! The Immortal Emperor is the ruler of a country, a priceless being, should sit at the center, strategize, and oversee four directions!

The Immortal Emperor defending the national gate, such a practice has never been a precedent throughout history!

Your Majesty bears the hope of billions of dynasty subjects, shoulders the weight of the Human Clan's future, must not personally venture into danger, placed at the forefront of the flame, the last general implores Your Majesty to retract the order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Matters of relocating the capital relate to the foundation of the nation, cannot be decided so hastily!"

"With unstable borders and powerful enemies surrounding, the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm is the stabilizing force, it cannot be easily moved!"

"Please prioritize the safety of the dynasty and the broader interests of the Human Clan!"

All at once.

A chorus of opposition arose in the hall like a tide, almost all immortal officials, regardless of usual factions, unanimously expressed strong objections.

Their reasons did not much differ from Nan Haoran and Luo Tian, centering on the belief that this move is too risky, placing the core of the dynasty in peril, not befitting a wise sovereign, and contradicting traditional governance ideals.

Relocating the capital is itself a matter that shakes the foundation of the nation.

Let alone moving it to the front line, where the flames still burn.

In their view, it's simply inconceivable, hard to understand!

The Immortal Emperor guarding the national gate.

There has never been such a precedent throughout history.

Facing everyone's opposition, Gu Qingfeng anticipated them, showing resolute determination, brooking no refusal.

"I have made up my mind about this matter, no need for further arguments.

If there is no precedent throughout history, then let me forge this precedent myself.

The Immortal Emperor guarding the national gate, the sovereign dying for the nation, I want to convey to the Evil God Clan that as long as I live, they have no right to step half a foot into Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty!"

As he said the final sentence, an exceedingly strong aura emanated from Gu Qingfeng, silencing all who wished to speak further, leaving them unsure of how to counter.
