Seeing Jiayi's King aura shatter in an instant, Qin Yang could not help but beam with delight.
The expansion of Great Ying's territory would impact the Great Emperor. If the territory expanded all at once by too much, the impact would become especially fierce.
For example, when Jiayi had succeeded to the imperial throne last time, Kui Mountain's territory had suddenly appeared, giving her a push and allowing her to ride the momentum into becoming a Dao Monarch.
