When Hua Kai, Hua Chengmin, Chinese Ink, and Xue Chen returned, everyone knew what was in that small room.
Chinese Ink gathered everyone and sat down in the hall. At this time, Hua Kai began to speak.
"Everyone can see that the family space has been upgraded.
In the future, I will hand over the management of the space to Hua Chengmin, Chinese Ink, and Xue Chen. They are also the heads of the three pavilions in China. The recognition of the family's core members, the division of responsibilities, the setting of authority, and the allocation of offices and rooms will all be decided by the three of them after a discussion.
"This time, the Hua family's member list has increased from 5000 to 100,000. The number of core members has increased from 200 to 1000. This means that our core members will soon expand.
"In the future, the Hua family's core members will follow the following four principles.
"First, recruit as many Golden Core and Sage Realm members as possible. This means that you must think of a way to increase the number of Golden Core and Sage Realm members so that their loyalty can reach the top 100,000. Only after entering the family list can they become core members.
"Second, those with outstanding aptitudes, namely those with SS + aptitudes and above, will be able to reach the peak of the Golden Core Realm and become China's core fighting force in the future.
"Third, imperial family members whose strength exceeds the Foundation Realm. The Hua family's core members will definitely include a large number of imperial family members. No matter male or female, as long as they are part of the imperial family's direct line of descent, they will be accepted into the Hua family's core members.
"If the imperial family's collateral members have SS- or above aptitudes or are at the peak of the Foundation Realm, they can also be accepted into the family.
"Fourth, special talents in China.
The Three Pavilions and Three Halls' core members, school administrators, and newspaper representatives. We will try our best to have the Hua family's core members spread throughout China. This way, even though we don't attend court, we will attend court every day, "Hua Kai said.
The expansion of the family space this time wasn't just a small part of the Hua family's benefits. 1,000 core members could recruit most of China's Foundation Realm cultivators. However, Hua Kai knew that this might be the last time. It would take a long time to recruit 1,000 core members, so they had to be careful when recruiting core members.
On the second day, the Hua family's core members increased by 300 people. They were all strictly vetted according to Hua Kai's four requirements.
Patriarch Uzhu Muqin, King Lu, Patriarch Tie Fa, Patriarch Qin Jiao, and the other patriarchs of large families, Sage Laozi of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Sage Confucius, and other representative scholars. Hua Kai had 41 children and 26 concubines. The Hua family had more than 60 people in total. In the end, only a dozen or so people from the Three Pavilions and Three Halls were selected. This was because the 500 core members of the Hua family were enough to represent all the different industries of the Hua family.
Hua Chengmin, Chinese Ink, and Xue Chen divided the 20 or so meeting rooms to the Three Pavilions and Three Halls, the Academy of Humanity, the Society of Thought, the Ministry of Transportation, and other important departments in China. They also distributed the 200 or so rooms according to their needs. In the future, aside from Hua Kai and the three managers, only people from their departments could enter these areas.
Hua Kai asked Hua Yu to set up a talent department to compile the records of all the human geniuses, including all the core members of the Hua family. They would distribute resources reasonably so that all the talented people of the human race could receive resources and subsidies.
After all the core members of the [Family's Secret Realm] and all the managers of the secret realm had been confirmed, China had already started the trial for all the listed members. In just three days, seven core members had reached the Golden Core stage, four family members had reached the Golden Core stage, and more than 300 new Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had reached the Golden Core stage. China's national luck increased by more than one million points every day, but it quickly decreased to below 100 million points.
Hua Kai looked at China's stats.
China: Empire
Prosperity: 26.89 million
Combat Power: 41.09 million
Agriculture: 21.26 million
Animal Husbandry: 10.87 million
Business: 27.16 million
Culture: 36.18 million
Overall Strength: 163.45 million
Popular Support: 96
Capital: 6,150 purple coins, 8,08.26 million gold, 3,492.81 million silver, 5.1 billion bone coins
Luck: 98.11 million
Portable Storage: 78 cubic meters
After entering the Empire level, Hua Kai also saw a system notification. A country's overall strength should be comparable to its total population. If a country's strength was more than twice its total population, then the country was in a very prosperous period. If it was less than half of its total population, then the country's development was not enough and had reached a bottleneck. Although China's development was very strong, it was still far from its peak.
After dealing with all the matters in the family space, Hua Kai received the third mission reward. He did not hesitate to connect the [Family's Secret Realm] to the Chaos World in his body.
When Hua Kai made his choice, he saw a huge energy pillar appear in the chaos of his inner world. The energy pillar shone down from the chaos and landed on the Eldritch Continent. The power of laws in the Eldritch Continent began to become active.
Hua Kai closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. He realized that everything in the area that the energy pillar shone on turned from illusory to solid, and the entire Chaos World was shaking.
The Chaos World had entered the later stages of the Journey to the West. The entire world rarely appeared, and it was rare to see the shadow of immortals in the human world. Only gods would project their will into the mortal world.
Hua Kai realized that the entire Chaos World was out of his control. He could no longer make changes to things related to time and space. In other words, after this world had experienced the Five Catastrophes, it could no longer return to the past.
The entire Chaos World crazily absorbed the light pillar from the [Family's Secret Realm]. Hua Kai realized that the light pillar was formed by the Light of Creation. The various wills and laws of the Chaos World rapidly increased, and the area that the light pillar shone on had completely turned from illusory to solid.
This area was about the same size as all the areas in the [Family's Secret Realm]. It was 10,000 square meters in radius. The [Family's Secret Realm] began to rapidly approach the Chaos World and slowly overlap with this area. At this time, the energy of heaven and earth slowly stabilized and finally calmed down.
Many mighty figures of heaven and earth were looking everywhere for the reason for the changes in heaven and earth, but in the end, they found nothing. The [Family's Secret Realm] had been integrated into the Chaos World, and the spiritual energy and power of will inside were absorbed from the world under their feet. However, the integration was not complete. In the Chaos World, the [Family's Secret Realm] was a restricted area, and nothing could be detected. The people in the [Family's Secret Realm] could only enter the Chaos World through the portal that they had used to enter the Journey to the West.
Hua Kai also discovered that the time in the Chaos World had begun to coincide with the [Family's Secret Realm] and the Divine East. If one entered the Chaos World again to train, they could only leave their bodies in the 33 Heavens and train their souls. This way, they could only enter when their strength reached the Foundation Establishment Realm or above. A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could only enter for about 10 days at a time, and a Golden Core Realm cultivator could only enter for about 20 years. Any more than that and there might be problems.
At this moment, those who were in the trial all withdrew from the trial. They stood in the space outside the 33 Heavens in confusion and watched the changes in the Chaos World.
As such, Hua Kai looked at the Chaos World and saw that the power of the Chaos World's rules was much more perfect than before. He could basically confirm that the essence of the world was similar to the description of the Five Great Tribulations. Only then could the entire [Family's Secret Realm] appear in his inner world.
His [Family's Secret Realm], including the system, was inextricably linked to the Great Path. Perhaps he would only truly understand this link after he broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm.
The reward given by the system for the third mission was to let him understand the essence of the world's rules and pave the way for him to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm. This was because he found that his three major attributes had unknowingly increased by one point. Now, his willpower had reached the highest level of 96 points, and his realm had reached the great completion of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Hua Kai could clearly feel everything that was happening in the [Family's Secret Realm]. This was because the [Family's Secret Realm] was in his inner world. He could easily send messages to everyone in the family space and also restrict their actions.
In other words, as long as he entered the [Family's Secret Realm], everyone would be completely under his control.
As such, the core members of the Hua family found that they could finally cultivate in the [Family's Secret Realm]. Hua Kai could also see everyone's situation in the secret realm.
These changes made Hua Kai not look at the other two rewards for the thirteenth main mission. He carefully studied the difference between the secret realm in his inner world and other places. He studied the strange composition of the power of rules. The more Hua Kai studied, the more he felt that he was lacking. The power of rules was vast and profound. It would be a long process for him to truly understand all of this.
In December, there was no frost in the southwest region of the Yangtze River. The climate had completely returned to normal, but there was relatively little rain this year. Half a month into winter in Hua City, there was still no sign of snow.
Hua Kai looked at the peaceful surface of Hua Xia. Everything was developing in an orderly manner. Every major city in Hua Xia had a core member of the Hua family secretly in charge. Such a large country was completely controlled by the Hua family.
In the [Family's Secret Realm], everyone was extremely busy. The heads of the various departments in Hua Xia were discussing and summarizing their work and achievements for this year in the family space. They were also making practical plans for the coming year.
The overall strength and fortune of the Hua family was rapidly increasing. The government decrees were passed to various places. This year, none of the villages in Hua Xia had entered the city. There was also no news of the invasion of wild beasts. The various pavilions could completely deal with wild beasts and wild beasts in their own areas. Many places were said to have developed over the years. Some had become towns with concentrated populations. Some had become castles and fortresses to protect the safety of the entire Hua Xia people.
All of this was natural in the hearts of the people. This was because the five-year, ten-year, 20-year, and even 100-year plans of Hua Xia had been vigorously publicized in Hua Xia for several years. Everyone had read the reports in the newspapers about which departments had completed their tasks this year. They also knew how much the five-year and ten-year plans had been completed. They did not know how difficult these few years were and how much effort the entire Hua Xia had put in to complete them.
What everyone could clearly feel was that the human race had become more united. No one objected to the Hua family's ruling position in the entire world. The education of the royal family's children and the contributions that the princes and princesses of Hua Xia had made to the country over the years had been publicized by the major newspapers.
The patriotism of Hua Xia had become higher and higher. Contribution had become the main theme of the social trend. Many Xiantian Realm cultivators and above had gone to the ice mountains just to prevent the wild beasts from expanding and for the human race to return to their previous environment.
