Fortune Dynasty, Divine Dragon of National Fortune
On the ninety-nine steps of the Temple of Heaven, Zhu Pengcheng, dressed in a dragon robe, walked upwards with a solemn expression and steady, firm steps.
Who could have imagined that the boy who begged on the streets back then would now unify the Divine Kingdom and be about to establish his own dynasty and become emperor?
He overcame countless hardships and fought numerous bloody battles, defeating many powerful enemies.
Furthermore, he personally tore apart the corrupt old order of the Divine Kingdom and established new, more just rules on the ruins.
This Jianguo was destined to be completely different from all previous nations.
After all, times have changed. Nowadays, almost everyone is bound to a system and possesses cultivation.
If the old system is continued, the country will eventually become like those countries swept away by the tide of systemic change, where the emperor becomes a figurehead and is abandoned by the times.
So this time, he wants to break with convention again and forge a path that has never been trodden before.
Zhu Pengcheng stepped onto the Temple of Heaven, his imperial aura emanating naturally, and his gaze swept across the area below.
Civil and military officials stood solemnly on both sides, 100,000 armored soldiers stood in formation like a mountain, and the crowd of onlookers was even more dense, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The Director of the Imperial Observatory shouted, "The auspicious hour has arrived!"
Thirty-six bronze chimes suddenly resounded throughout the surrounding area. Before the echoes had even faded, cultivators around the capital city began casting spells, and thousands of dazzling fireworks suddenly burst into bloom in the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.
Zhu Pengcheng slowly looked around, channeled his inner True Power, and said loudly:
"I rose from humble beginnings, and with the favor of the Fairness System, I swept away the bandits from all sides, unified the Divine Kingdom, and brought peace to the world!"
Today, we establish the nation's name as 'Ming', and set forth the Great Ming Fortune Dynasty! May the Great Ming Dynasty prosper, and may every citizen of the Great Ming Dynasty be as vigorous as a dragon!
No sooner had the words been spoken than countless earth-shattering dragon roars resounded throughout the borders of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Countless wisps of fortune surged from all directions, converging above the capital and ultimately coalescing into a majestic Divine Dragon of National Fortune.
The Divine Dragon of National Fortune circled around the capital once before stopping at the Temple of Heaven, thus connecting with Zhu Pengcheng's personal fortune.
In an instant, his cultivation level broke through from the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm to the Peak of the Dao Seed Realm. His aura surged and swelled, making him appear even more majestic.
The divine dragon of the Great Ming Divine Dragon of National Fortune, facing the civil and military officials and 100,000 soldiers below, opened its mouth and spewed out a sky full of golden light.
Where the light shone, some people's old injuries were instantly healed, some people's cultivation bottlenecks were shattered and they broke through on the spot, and some even entered a state of enlightenment, their aura quietly rising.
Immediately afterwards, the Divine Dragon of National Fortune once again spewed out golden light, transforming into a shower of golden rain that drifted to every corner of the Great Ming Dynasty's territory and fell upon the people of the Great Ming.
Those who were injured recovered immediately, while those who were uninjured felt refreshed and clear-headed. Some were even more fortunate, using this power of fortune to break through the shackles of cultivation in one fell swoop.
In an instant, beneath the Temple of Heaven, civil and military officials, 100,000 soldiers, and common people all bowed in unison, their shouts echoing like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing through the heavens.
Great Ming the Ming Dynasty prosper forever! May His Majesty attain Longevity!
The overwhelming shouts echoed throughout the capital.
With the people's hearts turned to him, the golden dragon of national destiny in the sky suddenly doubled in size, its scales and claws becoming even more dazzling, and its dragon might even surpassing that of the dragon.
In the crowd, Liu Yi heard Zhu Pengcheng announce the establishment of the Great Ming Fortune Dynasty, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Until the Divine Dragon of National Fortune destiny appeared, golden light rained down, benefiting all people.
He finally realized that Zhu Pengcheng had not established an ordinary country, but Fortune Dynasty he had only heard of in novels in his previous life.
Even now, with the system widely disseminated, there has been no news of the Fortune Dynasty in this world.
I never imagined that I would witness the birth of the Fortune Dynasty in real life today.
Zhu Pengcheng's rise from beggar to founding emperor was a testament to his extraordinary talent.
However, if he truly figured out this method of the Fortune Dynasty on his own in just two or three years, it would be somewhat beyond the norm.
At this moment, he even began to wonder if Zhu Pengcheng in front of him was a time traveler or a reincarnation of a powerful figure.
After all, there are already transmigrators among the system's hosts, so adding another Zhu Pengcheng wouldn't be a big deal.
Even if he wasn't, his talent and comprehension were absolutely top-notch.
What's even more remarkable is that courage; having just grasped the method of the Fortune Dynasty, he dared to try it out without fear of failure or backlash.
Such courage and madness are truly astonishing.
Most importantly, he succeeded on his first try.
Even with Liu Yi's extraordinary talent and comprehension, coupled with the system's assistance, he still had to experiment repeatedly after creating a new Cultivation Method, and failures were inevitable along the way.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Pengcheng's luck hadn't manifested just now, it wouldn't have been as vigorous and abundant as Bai Qianqian's luck.
He almost suspected that the new emperor before him was another chosen Child of Fortune.
Liu Yi composed himself, entered the system with his Divine Sense, and began to review Zhu Pengcheng's system usage records.
The records show that the other party spent a lot of time in the Dao Comprehension Space, and there was nothing else unusual.
It seems that Zhu Pengcheng accumulated a massive amount of Energy Points through taxation and system promotion, and then, with the help of the Dao Comprehension Space, personally deduced the method of the Fortune Dynasty.
Even with the aid of the Dao Comprehension Space, this talent is still remarkable.
What is even more noteworthy is that what he seems to have comprehended is the Great Dao of Emperors.
This Great Dao is extremely special, capable of governing all Daos, and is extremely domineering; it is one of the top-tier Great Daos.
Suddenly, he heard Little Yellow's question, her voice tinged with curiosity:
"Master, what were that dragon and golden light just now?"
The people of the Great Ming Kingdom were bathed in golden light, and everyone looked extremely pleased. Some even broke through their cultivation levels.
And what about the Great Ming Fortune Dynasty "that Zhu Pengcheng mentioned? I feel that the Great Ming is particularly different from other countries.
Liu Yi explained softly, "Compared to the Great Ming Fortune Dynasty, other countries are indeed far behind."
That divine dragon we just saw was the Divine Dragon of National Fortune, representing the destiny of the Great Ming.
The term "Fortune Dynasty" refers to the Fortune Dynasty whose ruler's fortune is closely linked to that of the nation and its people.
The better a country develops, the more prosperous its national fortune becomes, which in turn benefits the ruler of the Fortune Dynasty, the emperor, and promotes his spiritual progress.
Even civil and military officials can receive the blessing of the nation's fortune, allowing them to cultivate faster.
Moreover, the nation's fortune will benefit all its people, allowing them to either break through their cultivation levels, improve their health, or have their luck enhanced and encounter fortuitous opportunity.
Furthermore, the ruler of the Fortune Dynasty can unleash extremely powerful combat strength by harnessing the Divine Dragon of National Fortune, just like Zhu Pengcheng now. If he were to utilize the national fortune, he would be able to unleash the strength of the Dao Image Realm or even the Divine Acupoint Realm.
Little Yellow's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Fortune Dynasty has so many benefits! Master, should we build one too? That way, our cultivation speed will definitely be much faster!"
Liu Yi rolled his eyes and flatly refused:
"Although the Fortune Dynasty is prosperous, it also has its drawbacks."
Firstly, the ruler of the Fortune Dynasty is too deeply bound to the state, and must govern the state well; otherwise, if the state's fortunes decline, it will inevitably suffer a backlash.
Secondly, the ruler of the Fortune Dynasty cannot leave the country at will, otherwise the blessing of national fortune he receives will be greatly reduced.
The world is so big, I haven't even seen it yet, and I don't want to deal with government affairs every day. Of course, most importantly, the Fortune Dynasty isn't of much use to me either.
"Wow, so the Fortune Dynasty isn't all good; it has such big drawbacks!" Little Yellow exclaimed in surprise.
"Everything in this world has two sides; how can it be all good?" Liu Yi said calmly.
"Although we lack the blessing of national destiny, we can still live freely and unrestrained. Gains and losses are balanced in themselves."
