"Not bad. I didn't expect the Shores of the Four Seas to have developed so quickly.
How's the nine-year cultivation education going?
How's the effect? "
Ao Qing shrugged and flipped through the report. When he saw the nine-year compulsory cultivation chapter, he quickly skimmed through it.
The Turtle Prime Minister, the Four Unequal Ministers, and the others quickly gathered around and pricked up their ears. They were very curious about the effects of the nine years of cultivation education, which was like splitting the heavens and splitting the earth.
Upon hearing this, the former Donghai Dragon King, Ao Guang, immediately revealed a big smile. "Lord Dragon Emperor, you don't know this, but before the nine-year cultivation education was promoted, many of the monsters in the Shores of the Four Seas only relied on comprehension. Occasionally, there would be a little bit of communication. Basically, the time it took for them to transform was more than a few hundred years. After a few hundred years of comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, martial arts, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, they could transform and become monsters."
"Since the nine-year cultivation education was promoted, many fish spirits and monsters didn't need a few hundred years to transform. Often, it would take a few years. Some of the bigger fish could even transform directly in a few days.
Now, there's an endless stream of fish that want to participate in the nine-year cultivation education. They all signed up one after another, wanting to succeed in transforming.
Ao Guang, I even sent people to do some calculations. After the nine-year cultivation education was promoted, the time it took for these fish to transform was shortened by at least 10 times! "
"Many fish from other waters came to join us after hearing about what happened here. They want to participate in the nine-year cultivation education."
At this point, Ao Guang couldn't help but straighten his back. He was very excited and agitated.
Since when did the Shores of the Four Seas have such treatment?!
Countless fish came to join us?!
"Not bad."
Ao Qing lowered his head and glanced at the report. Just this week alone, there were more than four hundred thousand fish that had successfully transformed. It was more than the number of fish that had transformed in the Shores of the Four Seas in the past tens of thousands of years. Presumably, these monsters were the same as humans. They needed the guidance of a master and the imparting of cultivation knowledge to be faster. His thoughts were verified.
"Dragon Emperor, what should we do next?"
Ao Guang asked. Looking at the vibrant Coast of the Four Seas, Ao Guang focused on his work and the development of the Coast of the Four Seas.
"Expand the scope of the nine-year cultivation education. First, cover all the Shores of the Four Seas." Ao Qing thought about it.
As for resources and money, Ao Qing was not worried. After all, there was nothing in the four seas. Money and resources were not a problem at all.
"Sure!" Ao Guang agreed excitedly. His whole person looked very excited.
Next, Ao Guang and Ao Qing discussed the direction and plan of the Shores of the Four Seas. Basically, it revolved around increasing the military strength and accumulating resources.
However, this discussion left Ao Qing, Ao Guang, and Kamehameha unsure of how long it would take. When the discussion was over, Ao Guang and Kamehameha hurriedly went to implement it. Even Ao Qing, who was already at the level of Sage-to-be, felt a little tired and mentally exhausted.
It was not until now that Ao Qing deeply understood how difficult it was to manage a country. However, it had to be said that Ao Qing still felt a great sense of accomplishment for managing a declining Dragons to such an extent.
In the next few days, Ao Qing hurriedly sent Kamehameha and his men to various sea areas to recruit all the Dragon King. If they were unwilling to surrender, they would be directly eliminated.
His plan of an underwater empire had to be implemented quickly. Otherwise, when the Great Divine Investiture Tribulation descended, there would be a lot less opportunities.
It had to be said that Kamehameha was very efficient. Those Dragon King did not have the strength to fight back against Kamehameha. All of them surrendered one after another. Then, they were included in Ao Qing's territory. The whole process was basically a crushing posture.
In the face of the menacing Shores of the Four Seas, many Dragon King did not even dare to resist and directly surrendered.
…
In the next week, basically all the Dragon King in various sea areas and rivers surrendered to the Shores of the Four Seas. They bowed their heads and addressed Ao Qing as Dragon Emperor. The territory of the Shores of the Four Seas also directly expanded by more than three times. Basically, places with rivers were under Ao Qing's jurisdiction and control.
However, it was very troublesome to manage such a huge territory. Fortunately, Ao Qing had the help of the system. The Dragon King who surrendered to him had 100 loyalty points. He did not need to worry about the Dragon King rebelling. He just made the jurisdiction of the Dragon King more systematic and centralized.
Fortunately, Ao Qing had learned some management skills. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to deal with these Dragon King.
In the end, the Shores of the Four Seas looked the same as before on the surface. In fact, Ao Qing had completed the reform of an underwater empire. The Dragon King in various places were similar to feudal lords and had a certain degree of autonomy. However, large and small government affairs still needed to be handled by Ao Qing's think tank. In addition, the transfer of personnel, military expenses, and so on were also controlled and distributed by the Shores of the Four Seas. Thus, a high degree of control over the entire underwater empire was achieved and centralized.
For this, Ao Qing also specially set up an office to deal with government affairs in various places, the East Sea Dragon Palace. It was under the jurisdiction of Ao Guang and Kamehameha.
Of course, with Ao Qing's complete control, it meant that he, Ao Qing, was the emperor of an underwater empire. The various transfer orders of the Heavenly Court were completely useless. He was completely separated from the Heavenly Court and no longer served the Heavenly Court as a dog. The Heavenly Court could launch sanctions against Ao Qing at any time.
At first, the elders of the Dragons were still a little worried. After all, the Heavenly Court's prestige was inviolable. The Heavenly Court would definitely take action against the Dragons of the Four Seas. However, the elders of the Dragons were shocked to find that the Heavenly Court did not take any action after a few days.
There were also some demons with small forces who saw that nothing happened to the Shores of the Four Seas. However, the next day, the Heavenly Court sent Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals and Celestial Generals to beat them up.
For a time, no demon dared to call themselves the emperor like Ao Qing. It was as if they had tacitly approved of the Shores of the Four Seas' actions, allowing Ao Qing to truly call himself the emperor.
In this regard, some big shots of the forces sent their underlings to inquire about the Heavenly Court's intentions. After all, the Dragons of the Four Seas had left the Heavenly Court's rule, but the Heavenly Court did not take any action. This was too suspicious!
There were also some big shots of the forces who believed that the Heavenly Court did not take action against the Shores of the Four Seas because the Heavenly Court was deploying troops. When the time was right, they would directly destroy the entire Shores of the Four Seas.
In any case, regarding this matter, the various big shots all had different opinions and were making groundless accusations.
As for Ao Qing, who had never been afraid or worried about the Heavenly Court, he was indifferent from the beginning to the end. He knew too well that the Heavenly Court could barely deal with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. How could they care about the Shores of the Four Seas?!
Moreover, the Shores of the Four Seas were no longer the Shores of the Four Seas of the past. He could not wait for the Heavenly Court to take action and help him farm the luck of the Dragons!
