Star Luo Imperial Family Weeps: You Outsider! The Yu Clan, Masters of Construction?

"Furthermore..."

Xu Zhao paused, a profound look flashing in his eyes:

"If one day in the future, we open up a shipping route between the two continents.

There is a Sun Moon Empire over there, and a Sun Moon Empire over here; wouldn't that be chaotic?

What we must establish is a brand-new empire that is distinct from our homeland, and one that even surpasses it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yu nodded thoughtfully:

"Zhao'er's words make sense.

Since it is a new dynasty with a new atmosphere, it truly should have a new name.

In your opinion, what should we call it?"

Xu Zhao did not answer immediately.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, his thoughts surging in his mind.

As a transmigrator, he possessed a special sensitivity and sentimentality toward things like "dynastic titles."

His Martial Souls were one of the sun and one of the moon.

Sun and moon...

Xu Zhao silently repeated these two words in his heart.

Suddenly, a memory from his past life welled up in his mind.

In that magnificent river of history.

There was once a dynasty that established a backbone of iron and blood with the slogan "Expel the captives, restore China," and the spirit of "The emperor guards the gates, the monarch dies for the state."

The name of that dynasty was derived from the meaning of "The brilliance of the sun and moon, rising again and again."

Sun and moon combined, called—Ming!

The sun and moon shine brightly, the old country has the Ming!

Xu Zhao felt a strange sense of melancholy in his heart.

The homeland of the people in the Great Sun Prince Mansion was the Sun Moon Empire.

But his own homeland was not.

Establishing the Great Ming in this Douluo Continent could be considered a small way to make up for the regrets of his past life.

"Ming..."

A burst of sharp light erupted from Xu Zhao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a confident arc.

"Father, Mother, Uncles."

Xu Zhao turned around, extended a finger, and traced lightly in the void:

"The sun on the left, the moon on the right."

"The sun is the essence of yang;

The moon is the essence of yin."

"When the sun and moon shine together, and yin and yang intertwine, it forms the character 'Ming'!"

Xu Zhao's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a convincing power:

"Our homeland is the Sun Moon Continent, and our foundation is the sun and the moon.

Combining these two characters is both a heritage and a tribute to our homeland.

It also symbolizes a brand-new fusion and sublimation."

"Furthermore..."

Soul power surged from Xu Zhao's body, and a golden sun and a silver crescent moon faintly appeared behind him.

Two distinct forces intertwined behind him, emitting a sacred and vast aura:

"My Twin Martial Souls are precisely the sun and Taiyin.

This character 'Ming' perfectly aligns with the path of my Martial Souls."

"Great Ming, Great Ming..."

Xu Zhao took a deep breath, his gaze burning as he looked at Xu Yu:

"Light shines everywhere, dispelling the darkness.

We will let this Douluo Continent bathe in the Great Sun Prince Mansion...

No, bathe in the brilliance of my Great Ming Empire!"

"Therefore, I propose that the dynastic title be set as—Great Ming!"

"The Great Ming Empire!"

As his voice fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Everyone was stunned by this explanation from Xu Zhao.

"The sun and moon combined, that is Ming..."

Xu Yu chewed on this word repeatedly, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter, until he finally slapped his thigh and laughed heartily:

"Good! What a wonderful combination of sun and moon!

What a magnificent Great Ming!"

"It forgets not its roots, yet opens a new chapter!

And this name sounds upright and honorable, just like my son's ambition!"

Kong Yan's beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at her high-spirited son, her face full of smiles:

"Great Ming...

This name is indeed pleasant to the ear, and the implication is excellent.

Zhao'er, your brain is certainly much sharper than your father's."

Yan Yu, standing to the side, also clicked her tongue in wonder:

"The Heir Prince is truly talented.

By deconstructing the characters to reveal their meaning, you have secretly aligned with the Heavenly Dao.

These two characters, 'Great Ming', truly have more charm than a simple 'Sun Moon', and they display a more imperial aura.

Your subordinate is impressed, truly impressed!"

Wei Kurong, Lan Ya, and the others also bowed in succession, speaking in unison:

"The Heir Prince is wise!

We are willing to swear our lives to the loyalty of the Great Ming Empire!"

Xu Yu stood up, walked over to Xu Zhao, patted his shoulder heavily, and announced with soaring ambition:

"Good!

Since no one has any objections, then it is settled!"

"Pass down the order!"

"From this day forth, the Great Sun Prince Mansion is officially established as a nation!"

"The name of the country—Great Ming!"

"We shall set our capital in Linhai City and proclaim it to the world, letting the entire continent know that from today on, this land belongs to the Xu family!

It is the territory of the Great Ming Empire!"

The greatest strength of the Great Sun Prince Mansion was its navy.

Not to mention.

The Great Sun Prince Mansion now controlled the shipping routes from the Douluo Continent to the Sun Moon Continent.

In the future, there would be two other continents.

Even if, thousands or ten thousand years later, the Great Ming Empire were to lose its momentum, it could still rely on its navy to relocate to other continents.

Just like in the third and fourth installments, where people fled to the other two continents.

And re-established the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Although Xu Zhao did not believe that his rule over the Great Ming Empire would be overturned once he became a god.

As a maritime hegemon, it was necessary for the Great Ming to establish its capital in a coastal city like Linhai City.

Following Xu Yu's order.

The Great Ming Empire was officially born.

Although the formal founding ceremony was scheduled for an auspicious day one month later.

This did not prevent the sophisticated state machine of the Great Ming Empire from beginning its warm-up operations in advance.

Inside the Diligence Hall of the Great Sun Palace.

Xu Yu, dressed in a hastily tailored bright yellow robe embroidered with dragons.

Sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down at the old subordinates who had followed him across the sea, and issued the first imperial decree since the founding of the empire in a deep voice.

"A country cannot go a day without a ruler, nor can it go a day without an heir."

"I, Xu Yu, in accordance with the mandate of heaven, am the founding emperor of the Great Ming Empire."

"I hereby appoint Princess Consort Kong Yan as the Empress of Great Ming, to serve as the model of motherhood for the world and manage the inner palace."

"I hereby appoint Heir Prince Xu Zhao as the Crown Prince of Great Ming, to oversee the nation and act as regent; in all military and political matters, the Crown Prince's orders shall be treated as if they were my own!"

The crowd below knelt in unison, shouting "Long live" in a mountain-shaking chorus.

Xu Zhao stood at the head of the officials, his expression calm.

Immediately after, Xu Yu's gaze turned toward the front row of the military generals.

"The Great Ming has just been established, and powerful enemies surround us on all sides.

To safeguard the national destiny, the 'Elder Hall' is hereby specially established, holding a transcendent status and answering only to the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

"I confer upon the level 93 Black Bird Douluo, Yan Yu, the title of Fourth Worship of the Elder Hall!"

After finishing the reading, Xu Yu paused and looked toward the elderly man standing silently beside Yan Yu, who was draped in a silver-gray cloak.

(Like Yan Yu, he is one of the two ordinary Title Douluo with one hundred percent loyalty.)

His Silver Crow martial soul is a top-tier sub-dragon species, the Golden Earth Dragon King, possessing terrifyingly peerless defense and strength.

Although his ninth spirit ring is not a hundred-thousand-year ring.

In his early years, Xu Yu had rescued him from the hands of a powerful enemy.

His family's descendants are also treated exceptionally well within the Great Sun Prince Mansion.

Therefore, Silver Crow's loyalty to the Great Sun Prince Mansion is absolute.

"I confer upon the level 94 Golden Dragon Douluo, Silver Crow, the title of Third Worship of the Elder Hall!"

"I confer upon the level 94 Blue Silver Douluo, Lan Ya, the title of Second Worship of the Elder Hall!"

"I confer upon the level 97 Poison Douluo, Wei Kurong, the title of Grand Pontiff of the Elder Hall!"
