At last, a Human Sovereign

Fang Weiyan raised his head and looked at the road beneath his feet, which had now been paved with copper coins.

These copper coins embody the will of the people.

The banknotes that Fang Weiyan brought from Earth were not of any use at this moment.

Fang Weiyan felt a little disappointed when he saw this, but he quickly cheered up.

Even if we only use Jiang Kingdom's currency, there shouldn't be any problems this time.

After all, in order to win over the people, Fang Weiyan had the Ministry of Ministry of Rites write out a series of proclamations.

It was originally just to better control the Jiang Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect here.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan immediately lifted his leg and walked forward.

However, after a moment, Fang Weiyan was taken aback, and his expression immediately hardened.

"Huh... what's this..."

The coins brought from Huaxia were of no use, but the silver they brought did!

Fang Weiyan previously purchased ten million taels of silver from Earth, which he intended to use in the Jiang Kingdom.

At this moment, the silver coins flew out, and when they were laid on the ground, a road rushed directly upwards.

And the sentiments contained within this silver do not only belong to the Jiang Kingdom, but also to the Huaxia Kingdom.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan pondered for a moment, then immediately understood.

This silver was purchased from Huaxia, but it has already been used Huaxia, so it has the same properties as money.

Then it arrived in the Jiang Kingdom of the Jiang Kingdom and began to circulate there.

The paper money brought from Huaxia did not circulate in the Jiang Kingdom.

Therefore, it won't work at this time.

This money, however, happened to serve as a bridge for communication.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan was overjoyed. He had thought he might as well take advantage of the opportunity to benefit from some of the good fortune of Huaxia.

I never expected to accidentally bump into him in this way.

Fang Weiyan was overjoyed and quickly ran upwards.

A few moments later, several men dressed in yellow robes arrived at the spot where Fang Weiyan disappeared.

After looking at the path left by Fang Weiyan, the group frowned.

This new king seems even more capable than they thought; he's already gone to the front lines.

While they were still running forward little by little, Fang Weiyan finally arrived at the ninety-ninth step.

When Fang Weiyan's feet touched solid ground and landed on the floating island, he immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"They're up!"

As Fang Weiyan finished speaking, he looked around.

At this moment, Fang Weiyan was incredibly excited.

Once I ascend to the throne, I suppose I'll gain the approval of Heaven and Earth and become the Human Sovereign, right?

Just as Fang Weiyan was thinking this, he saw that on this floating island, there were several peach trees growing very lushly.

The tree was covered with peaches, Fang Weiyan could smell the sweet fragrance of ripe peaches from afar.

"What should we do next?"

Fang Weiyan looked around, unsure of what to do next.

Looking back, I saw that there were still many people walking upwards.

But at this moment, even the kings below were finding it difficult.

Some kings had already stopped at thirty or forty floating islands, as there were no more steps for them to climb.

A little ahead, there were one or two people still climbing up towards Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. Should they wait a bit?

Looking around but still not understanding, Fang Weiyan thought for a moment and then decided to sit down and wait and see.

With Fang Weiyan's patient waiting, he soon saw the Wu Kingdom emperor, who had been lagging behind him, arrive at the tenth floating island.

Before and after arriving at the floating island, the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom planned to continue climbing upwards.

However, upon closer inspection, although a few steps did extend upwards slightly, they only extended a tiny bit.

It's impossible for the other party to use this as a springboard to advance further.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom sighed and could only sit down on the spot.

Fang Weiyan saw this scene and looked down again.

Behind the other side, a king was still struggling to climb toward the location of the tenth floating island.

However, when he climbed to the last step, there was still a little space left, but he still couldn't reach the floating island.

Seeing this, the king gritted his teeth, then leaped with all his might, managing to land on the tenth floating island.

The emperor of the Wu Kingdom was also taken aback by this scene, probably not expecting the other side to do such a thing.

The key point is, they actually succeeded!

This scene caused his expression to become somewhat uncertain.

The three waited a while longer, but finally no one else came up.

In other words, three people became Human Sovereign this year.

The probability of this is indeed pitifully low.

However, compared to previous years, the fact that someone was able to climb to the top of the first floating island this year is far more dazzling than ever before.

At that moment, everyone looked up and gazed at Fang Weiyan's position.

At this moment, they could all see that Fang Weiyan was sitting in the first floating island.

At this moment, everyone looked extremely envious.

This is number one!

Has anyone else climbed up here before?

Just as everyone was filled with envy, it seemed as if the heavens and earth shook in the the Unseen.

Immediately, a golden light descended, landing on the heads of Fang Weiyan, the King of the Wu Kingdom, and the other two.

After enveloping all three, the golden light slowly began to condense into a crown.

Fang Weiyan's crown is made of a material that is neither jade nor gold.

Then a dragon robe slowly appeared on his body, followed by a jade seal, an imperial edict, a sword at his waist, and cloud-patterned boots on his feet.

Then a jade belt was threaded through his waist, binding the dragon robe at his waist.

From a distance, Fang Weiyan appeared dignified and exuded an unparalleled, powerful aura.

Standing beneath the first floating island, looking down at the other kings below, it seemed as if all the other kings had become Fang Weiyan's subjects.

Meanwhile, the two kings on the tenth floating island had only managed to condense a crown at this moment.

Apart from this, there is nothing else.

Compared to Fang Weiyan, they appeared terribly shabby at this moment.

"So, there are so many benefits to reaching the first floating island..."

The other kings below all looked up at Fang Weiyan above, filled with indescribable envy.

But aside from that, Fang Weiyan's situation is not yet over.

On the stone table in the distance, several objects began to appear.

Fang Weiyan's heart stirred slightly upon seeing this suddenly appearing object, and he then walked over to it.

In front of Fang Weiyan was a pot of immortal peaches, a peach sapling, a Shitou that looked rather strange, and then a small jade bottle.

Through the jade bottle, one could vaguely see what appeared to be a river inside.

Next came an ear of rice, and a copper coin...

Fang Weiyan looked at them one by one, then reached out and touched them, and then a realization dawned on him.

A pot of immortal peaches—it really is a pot of immortal peaches—that eating these peaches can extend one's lifespan by thirty years.

This pot contains about ten, which means you'll live to be three hundred years old!

However, if this peach is given to the Underworld Administration or a demon, it can instantly increase one's cultivation by thirty years.

Peach saplings, as the name suggests, are peach saplings that can grow into immortal peaches. However, these peach saplings grow extremely slowly and will not grow into trees in less than a thousand years.

And to get the result, it will take five hundred years.

However, once the fruit is borne, the peach tree will be laden with peaches.

In comparison, choosing peach saplings can naturally reflect a nation's cultural heritage.

Fang Weiyan's brows twitched slightly upon seeing this, and he glanced at the peach tree beside him.

If he remembers correctly, even if he ate all the peach flesh, the peach pit could sprout into a seedling if he threw it into the ground.

Is it because peach pits don't easily grow into seedlings that this has happened?

However, he had fertilizer on hand, but he didn't know if it would work on the peach pit.

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment. These peaches that could extend lifespan did indeed smell delicious to him, so he had to choose one!

As for peach saplings, they should be able to ripen using chemical fertilizers. But if they really can ripen using chemical fertilizers, then the peach pits should also be ripe.

If that doesn't work, then a growth cycle of over a thousand years is simply too useless for Fang Weiyan.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan placed his hand directly on a bowl of peaches, and the bowl of peaches immediately disappeared, while the remaining things became somewhat dim.

Judging from this, it seems that Fang Weiyan can only choose three items, and after he makes his selection, the rest will disappear.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan felt a pang of regret, but immediately continued with the selection process.

After Fang Weiyan touched the Shitou, he discovered that it was a Cloud Iron Essence. If he took this thing and buried it under a mountain range, a Cloud Iron Ore vein would be created.

As for the true nature of this Cloud Iron, Fang Weiyan had no idea.

In addition, there is this jade bottle, which contains a large river.

After taking this jade bottle, I realized there was a lack of water in some places, so I could simply spread this great river across them.

By then, the canal will be built, and the water source for irrigating both areas will be available.

If any other monarch saw this, they would definitely choose it.

Unfortunately, this thing wasn't particularly useful to Fang Weiyan.

Is Jiang Kingdom short of water?

Some places are indeed quite short of water, but if Fang Weiyan wanted to, he could use technological means to mobilize water resources.

Alternatively, one could conduct on-site water source surveys and use machines to extract groundwater for use.

The rice stalks beside it are high-quality rice with a high yield.

However, this rice was clearly not something Fang Weiyan particularly needed, though other monarchs would certainly require it.

However, Jiang Kingdom's annual grain output has now increased to over one trillion catties, and Fang Weiyan believes it will be even higher next year.

Under such circumstances, this rice grain became less important to Fang Weiyan.

Then there's a copper coin. This thing seems to represent a copper mine. If you want, you can take it and own a copper mine.

"This is a tough choice..."

Looking at the items in front of him, Fang Weiyan suddenly felt it was difficult to choose.

As for Cloud Iron, although I don't know exactly what it is, I'll still choose it.

Fang Weiyan looked at the items in front of him, thought for a moment, and then took the Cloud Iron away.

What remained gradually disappeared.

Once Fang Weiyan chooses one more item, these things will disappear completely.

However, Fang Weiyan was somewhat troubled by what came next.

Among the remaining items, if he were given the choice, he genuinely wouldn't know which one to pick.

Peach saplings?

If I were to get my hands on this, it seems like it would be considered a safe investment.

However, if you're choosing a jade bottle, the river inside could actually be quite useful for transportation.

After all, the cargo-carrying capacity and affordability of ships are undeniable.

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment, then suddenly picked up a few Shitou from the ground and numbered Shitou one by one.

"This smaller Shitou is number 1. If I choose it, I'll take the peach sapling. For Shitou number 2, I'll take the jade bottle. For Shitou number 3, I'll take the copper coin."

Fang Weiyan numbered each Shitou, then tossed them haphazardly, closed his eyes, and began groping on the ground.

Fang Weiyan remembered that he had a lucky koi fish, which had brought him good luck.

With so many things to choose from, how do you know which one to pick? If he had good fortune, he should be able to choose the best one, right?

With this thought in mind, Fang Weiyan reached out and touched something random, and immediately felt a slight chill in his hand; he had touched a Shitou.

Fang Weiyan opened his eyes and saw that it was actually Shitou number 2?

A river?

Fang Weiyan frowned upon seeing this. Could it be that this river was more useful than he had imagined?

According to Fang Weiyan, this river must have some use that he himself was unaware of, which is why it was able to stand out.

Otherwise, how could one stand out?

"Fine, since we've already chosen it, this river will do."

Fang Weiyan didn't think much of it. Since he had chosen it, he would stick with it. He still had a lot of faith in his current luck.

He grabbed at the jade bottle, and the object in front of him vanished.

Then, Fang Weiyan felt herself begin to fall rapidly.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Fang Weiyan opened his eyes, he was already back in his own body.

Beside him were the Dragon King, Yunxi, and others, all watching him with extreme tension.

Fang Weiyan looked at the people beside him, about to say something, when he suddenly sensed something strange about his surroundings.

The next moment, the wind and clouds surged in the Jiang Kingdom, and yellow gas began to rise from various cities, then quickly rushed towards Yanhuai City. The yellow gas gathered on Fang Weiyan, and a golden five-clawed dragon began to appear around Fang Weiyan.

From the the Unseen, a deafening dragon's roar resounded throughout the land of the Jiang Kingdom.

This dragon's roar seemed to announce the ascension of the Emperor of Jiang.
