Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree Chapter 543 - 514: Cultivation Quotas

The Celestial Cyan Dynasty paid a visit.

This news also caused a bit of a stir.

That very day.

Several elders ca forward to receive the delegation from the Celestial Cyan Dynasty.

The Empress directly stated the purpose of this trip.

Originally.

As for whether or not to submit to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, opinions within the Celestial Cyan Dynasty were divided, with differing views.

However.

Once they arrived in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, all those differing views beca unified.

And that was to submit!

They must submit!

The Cyan Yang Divine Court’s current strength was already so terrifying, and with such a cultivation environnt that could be called a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, it was hard to imagine what heights the Cyan Yang Divine Court might reach in the future.

Moreover.

If the Celestial Cyan Dynasty submitted to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, that ant the people of the Celestial Cyan Dynasty would also have a chance to enter the Cyan Yang Divine Court to cultivate.

Among the cultivators who had co, almost everyone was burning with envy toward such a cultivation environnt.

Thus.

There was naturally no objection to the matter of submitting.

"That the Celestial Cyan Dynasty can stand in the sa camp as my Cyan Yang Divine Court—this old man naturally welcos it. It’s just that this matter is not sothing I alone can decide; I still need to seek instructions from His Majesty the God Emperor!"

Ji Xuan said.

The Empress nodded. "Of course."

Speaking of which.

Up to now, she still had not seen the presence of Gu Qingyang.

However, in the Imperial City, the Empress could see a towering Divine Tree standing proudly against the Azure Sky. That terrifying Dao Rhy aura made her heart and mind tremble uncontrollably, even from thousands of miles away.

According to the intelligence obtained by the Celestial Cyan Dynasty, that Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree was the Cyan Yang Divine Emperor.

"I wonder when we will be able to pay our respects to His Majesty the God Emperor..."

Just as the Empress opened her mouth to ask, she suddenly saw divine light steaming and swirling over the empty seat at the very front of the great hall, and a green-robed figure slowly appeared there.

The other party sat there upright, Dao Rules faintly manifesting, a terrifying Dao Rhy filling the hall, majestic divine might seeming to press across all ages, his eyes as deep as the stars, endless divine light hidden within.

When they saw this figure, all the cultivators of the Celestial Cyan Dynasty felt their hearts jolt.

In their eyes, what sat before them was not a man, but a Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree; standing before him, they involuntarily felt a sense of insignificance.

As if with just a single glance, this being could wipe them all out.

"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"

Ji Xuan and the others were the first to bow.

The crowd from the Celestial Cyan Dynasty also suddenly snapped back to themselves and hurriedly bowed to Gu Qingyang.

"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"

Gu Qingyang’s expression was indifferent; his calm gaze fell upon the group of cultivators from the Celestial Cyan Dynasty—more precisely, upon the Empress.

"From this day forth, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty is to spread the faith of this Emperor. Within one year, this Emperor requires that over fifty percent of the Celestial Cyan Dynasty’s population beco this Emperor’s believers.

If you can do this, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty may serve as a vassal of the Divine Court; otherwise, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty shall be destroyed!"

Having said this.

Gu Qingyang did not wait for the Empress’s answer; his figure once again dissipated and vanished.

Yet that terrifying Dao Rhy aura that had weighed upon the great hall did not completely disperse.

Ji Xuan turned to look at the Empress and the others, and said blandly, "I trust you have also heard His Majesty the God Emperor’s words. From this day forth, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty may be a vassal of the Divine Court.

But as a condition, within one year, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty must have fifty percent of its population beco believers of the God Emperor.

Otherwise, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty will have no need to exist!"

These words.

Ji Xuan spoke with great frankness.

After all, this was Gu Qingyang’s will; he was rely conveying and reiterating it.

As for whether these words would offend the Celestial Cyan Dynasty or make the other side displeased, Ji Xuan did not care.

After all.

With the Cyan Yang Divine Court as it was now, why would it need to care about a re Celestial Cyan Dynasty?

On the other side.

The Empress nodded. "Since His Majesty the God Emperor has given the order, the Celestial Cyan Dynasty will naturally obey!"

"In that case, all is well..."

A trace of a smile also appeared on Ji Xuan’s face.

To make the Celestial Cyan Dynasty submit without drawing a blade or shedding blood was undoubtedly the best course of action.

War did not have to be waged; one had to know that even a truly crushing war still ant casualties.

Although now, within the Divine Kingdom chat group, there was already the ability to resurrect fallen cultivators, every resurrection was still an enormous expenditure.

In the end.

To reverse yin and yang.

The cost required was not small.

In the days that followed, the people of the Celestial Cyan Dynasty did not imdiately return. Instead, they left the Imperial City and spent several days touring within the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.

What they saw during these few days finally convinced them that Ji Xuan’s words were not wrong.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm was actually as dense as that of the Imperial City. Even if so places were not quite on par with the Imperial City, they were not far off.

It could be said.

Any location in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, if placed within the Celestial Cyan Dynasty, could count as a top-tier Secret Realm.

Whoever could obtain such a region would have an endless stream of powerhouses as a result.

Furthermore.

So powerhouses of the Celestial Cyan Dynasty could not resist stepping into the Starry Sky, looking down upon the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm from the outside.

When he saw that incomparably vast world, and the towering Divine Tree on Cyan Yang Prefecture that pierced straight into the Starry Sky, that sense of shock was branded deeply into his mind.

"With such a cultivation environnt, the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s future growth is destined to be imasurable. The Divine Eye Empire has already beco a thing of the past. In the future, the heavens under this Starry Sky will inevitably belong to the Cyan Yang Divine Court!"

The Empress let out a sigh.

At this mont, she was incomparably glad of her decision.

It was precisely because the Celestial Cyan Dynasty had been the first to throw itself under the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s banner; had there been the slightest hesitation, the situation now would likely be different.

After all, given the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s strength, it was destined that no power on any side could oppose it.

By that ti.

Other forces would also choose to submit.

And though all would be submitting, being the first to submit and being one of those who submit later were two completely different things.

To submit of one’s own accord, versus submitting only when the enemy’s army was at the gates—those were not the sa.

Afterward.

The Empress once again sought out Ji Xuan, stating clearly that she wished to obtain a portion of the quota for entering the Cyan Yang Divine Realm to cultivate. In response, Ji Xuan only told her to wait a few days, then went to discuss the matter with the other elders.

"The current cultivation environnt of the Cyan Yang Divine Realm is an enormous temptation to other powers. The Celestial Cyan Dynasty is only the beginning; in the future, other powers will also wish to enter the Cyan Yang Divine Realm to cultivate.

But though the Cyan Yang Divine Realm is vast, it cannot possibly accommodate all forces in truth. After all, once the population becos too large, it will inevitably dilute the density of the Spiritual Qi.

So in my opinion, we might as well give each force a fixed number of quotas, allowing them to enter to cultivate. Additionally, we can set up certain thresholds—those who render ritorious service to the Divine Court can also obtain a portion of the quotas."

An elder voiced his own view, and the others all nodded in agreent.

Then.

The discussion revolved around how to set the thresholds and how to allocate quotas.

Three days later.

Ji Xuan once more sought out the Empress and granted the Celestial Cyan Dynasty one hundred quotas to enter the Cyan Yang Divine Realm for cultivation.

As for the latter, she was naturally deeply grateful.
