Two weeks after Wind God Hall returned to the hands of the Dragon Emperor Temple, in July of the 3585th year of the Wa Emperor Calendar, the Forbidden City, which had been under construction for more than half a year, was finally completed.

For the Dragon Emperor Temple, building the Forbidden City was as simple as a billionaire buying a piece of furniture.
Though the Dragon Emperor Temple's Earth Treasure Court was short on elemental crystals, it was exceedingly wealthy in ordinary assets, especially crystal coins used by common people. The Dragon Emperor Temple, which monopolized the entire Dragon Emperor Domain, collected tens of billions of crystal coins in taxes every year.

The buildings within the Forbidden City were divided into the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The center of the Outer Court consisted of the three great halls: Dragon Emperor Hall, Thousand Mechanisms Hall, and Hall of Preserving Harmony. The center of the Inner Palace
