In the back garden of God's Island, a blue flame descended swiftly, eagerly rushing into the pavilion.

Ye Chen and Gion were chatting in the pavilion. When he saw his darling return, Ye Chen smiled.

"Dad."

Ying threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, her eyes reddening.

Looking at his child, who was now as tall as him, Ye Chen patted his back. "You're so big and still crying, how embarrassing."

"I hate my dad the most."

Pushing Ye Chen away, Ying puffed out her cheeks, turned her head arrogantly, and snorted coldly.

"How can you treat your father like this after not seeing him for over a year? It breaks my heart."

Pretending to be silly, Ye Chen plopped down on the stool, his right hand gripping his chest.

"Gion- neechan, look how shameless Daddy is!"

Rolling her eyes, Sakura sat down and scolded Gion, who was covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Our princess has grown up."

Looking at the graceful cherry blossoms, Ye Chen felt genuinely happy.

Despite not having seen each other for over a year, the father and daughter showed no signs of estrangement.

Seeing Ye Chen's sigh, Ying pursed her lips, reached out and grabbed Ye Chen's large hand, her dark eyes red, "Dad, you have no idea how much I've missed you."

Patting Ying's head, Ye Chen smiled and asked, "What have you been doing with Dad for the past year or so? I've heard you run away without permission before?"

"No way, I'm really strong now, ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ying covered her head and looked at Ye Chen pitifully.

Ye Chen withdrew his hand, his expression serious. "You can't go out alone. Don't do it again."

"I see, what a fuss."

Sakura stuck out her tongue, clearly eager to admit her mistake.

Six months ago, Sakura ran away alone, which startled Reiju. The country almost mobilized all its troops. Since then, whenever Sakura goes out, Reiju always has Enel, Rob Lucci, or someone else accompany her.

It wasn't until Reiju first told Ye Chen about these things.

"You've grown up, you understand many things now. You must know you are the princess of the kingdom, and many people are watching you. Although you are quite powerful now, there are far too many people who could harm you."

"Dad, I was wrong."

With her head down, Sakura's attitude in admitting her mistake was still very good.

"I've always been very sensible, so I'm at ease with you. Don't worry your dad in the future."

With a gentler tone, Ye Chen playfully pinched the guy's nose; he wasn't really angry, just worried.

"Okay, Dad."

A smile returned to his face, and the guy grinned foolishly.

"A father is a father, why call him 'old man'?"

"I don't want to be called Dad, I want to be called Old Dad."

"Will you change it or not?"

"I won't change it. I'm so grown up now, it's too embarrassing to call him Dad. I'm closer to Dad."

"Okay, you'll see what I do to you."

"Dad, you can't catch me."

The two, one big and one small, started playfully wrestling around the pavilion.

Sitting in the pavilion, Gion watched the father and daughter playing with a smile, and felt a sense of warmth, even happiness.

I wish things could stay like this forever.

Lost in thought, a hint of sadness flickered deep in Gion's eyes.

Day and night alternated, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

At dawn, starting from the Divine City, ministers with solemn expressions rode escalators towards the highest island in the sky.

Vast and boundless, rows of statues will stand in the grand square, stretching all the way to the gates of the Imperial City Palace.

They entered one after another. More than 50,000 ministers seemed like a lot, but compared to the Imperial City, they were insignificant.

Entering the council hall, it still didn't feel crowded.

At this moment, apart from the guards on both sides, the main hall was completely empty. Even if more than 50,000 ministers entered, the hall would soon become so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

As you can see, standing at the forefront Neptune, the representative of the Fish-Man Island; Gancho, the representative of the Human Race; the chieftain of the Longarm Tribe; and ministers who manage important cities and islands. Each of them is a high-ranking official in their own territory, but here they are treated equally.

Not long after, several people entered from the side hall: the three high priests, Gan Fall, the chief, Monet, and the Sweet Queen, each carrying a thick stack of documents.

Gan Fall and the others sat on the right, while Monet and the Sweet Queen sat on the left.

As Monet and his entourage appeared, several more people entered the main hall one after another.

A bolt of lightning condensed on the right side; it was Enel.

Tesoro, Bege, and the others then entered the main hall one after another.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became oppressive.

Notably, Smoker and Gion also appeared on the chair to the right.

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground was crisp and loud. Then, two stunningly beautiful figures, each carrying a stack of documents, stepped onto the steps and sat down in their assigned seats.

Everyone waited, waiting for the figure on the throne, but unlike before, there was an extra seat next to the throne.

On the chairs below, the Big Bear King, the Pet King, and the Popularity King were all somewhat uneasy. After all, they had only met Ye Chen before he went into seclusion. Now, feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, even they felt a little breathless.

"Greetings, Princess."

Blue flames rippled, and Sakura suddenly emerged from the side hall, her stunning beauty radiating majesty.

That's right, Sakura also participated in court meetings, but not the Grand Assembly. They were just two ordinary court meetings held by Reiju in the past two years. At that time, Sakura sat on the throne, not in the position next to her.

When Sakura first announced her participation in the morning council, it really surprised Reiju, but Reiju didn't object.

However, the effect is considerable, because Sakura has changed a lot in the past two years. You can tell from her temperament that she is no longer the innocent, naive, and indifferent princess she used to be.

Now Sakura is a princess in the true name of the country. She has grown up and has come to understand the cruelty of this world.

Ye Chen never intended to raise Sakura like a hothouse flower. As Sakura grew older, Ye Chen had Reiju and Kalifa help her see the world more clearly.

As God's daughter and the sole heir to the Vast Kingdom, Sakura, who was sensible from a young age, understood the responsibilities she would have to bear in the future.

"Get up, all of you!"

Sitting in the chair, Sakura's expression was aloof.

"Thank you, Princess."

All the ministers stood up straight and did not kneel on one knee. In this situation, the only person who could make them kneel was the man on the throne.

Without warning, a Humanoid Nitro Fire suddenly appeared on the throne. Its face and body were indistinct, and its presence was imperceptible.

Like a ghost, it was nothing more than a ball of Nitro Fire.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

At this, all the ministers knelt on the ground, and even Enel and the others stood up and bowed.

"Get up, all of you!"

A completely emotionless voice resounded throughout the hall, and all the ministers stood up, not daring to look directly at him.

Sitting on the left, Big Bear King and the others could feel a gaze sweep over them, but that one glance made their scalps tingle and they quickly sat up straight.

This man is even more terrifying than he was two years ago.

Even though we have all become much stronger in the past two years, there is still a vast gap between us and the man on the throne.
