First of all, he had been granted a royal title.
The title itself did not matter. What mattered was that he now had a residence outside the imperial palace. He no longer had to stay cooped up in the palace. Inside the palace, it felt as though nothing could be done freely.
Besides that, the Azure Emperor had actually given him military authority and appointed him the Heavenly Dust Divine General. That was something Lu Chen had never expected.
He had directly handed Lu Chen the task of guarding the imperial capital of Dagan.
He had to admit, his Imperial Father had a truly big heart.
Apart from that, there were all sorts of material rewards—Dragon Crystals, spirit crystals, and the like.
How could Lu Chen possibly dislike such things?
The more, the better.
"Hahaha, it's good that Chen'er likes them!"

"Thank you, Imperial Father."
