Lu Li sat in the hall for a while and was about to go back to the backyard when Ming Yu came in to report that Liu Yi was here.
The messenger of the Liu Family, Patriarch Nine, and Pei An of the God-down City had arrived a long time ago. Lu Li didn't have time to meet them. Now that Liu Yi was here, he had to meet her.
Lu Li gave the God-down Island to Liu Yi. As a matter of fact, he had repaid the kindness of the Liu Family. Therefore, he didn't meet Patriarch Nine. He didn't want another person to share the profits.
Clearly, Liu Yi was more mature and capable than before. Her realm had improved as well. She had reached the Soul Pond Realm. It seemed that she had taken over the God-down City.
Liu Yi didn't say much. She only said that she wanted to stay with Lu Li. She could do whatever Lu Li wanted her to do, even as a maid.
Lu Li turned her down. He understood Liu Yi's intention.
Liu Yi was familiar with him. As long as she stayed with him, the Liu Family would have a meteoric rise in the future.
Lu Li had too many things to worry about. He didn't want to spend too much time on the Liu Family. He asked Liu Yi to go back to being the Island Owner of the God-down Island.
She could turn to Lu Li if she needed help. He would help if he could.
How could Liu Yi not know what was good for her?
Liu Yi was satisfied to have the God-down City. The patriarchs of the Liu Family were too ambitious.
She left in low spirits. She knew that she and Lu Li were not in the same world anymore.
The old relationship could only guarantee the safety of the Liu Family for 100 years. If they wanted to develop further, they had to rely on themselves.
…
More than half a month later, there was finally good news from the Heaven Cold Kingdom.
Two armies arrived at the Heaven Cold City. Ye Li was killed by Yu Huashen and the Heaven Cold Kingdom was destroyed!
The Northern Desert was unified today. Madam Yan was busier than ever. Since the Northern Desert was unified, the empire must be built.
Where should the capital be located?
How should the empire be managed?
What kind of system should be established?
How should the interests of the families be distributed and so on …
Lu Li decided to build the capital at the Heaven Frigid City. The Heaven Frigid City was a ready-made city.
The imperial palace of the Du Family was luxurious. Lu Li had gotten used to it after living here for some time.
The most important thing was — the Heaven Frigid City was in the south of the Northern Desert, which was the closest to the Central Plains. In the future, they would definitely trade with the Central Plains.
Unfortunately, the Teleportation Formation to the Central Plains was destroyed under Lu Li's order. That was not important.
Lu Li planned to dismantle the huge Teleportation Formation at the Heaven Martial City and move it here.
At the same time, he ordered to destroy the giant Teleportation Formation in Tianliang City. There was only one Teleportation Formation to the Central Plains in the entire Northern Desert. He wanted to control the passage to the Central Plains.
The Imperial Palace was ready. The Heaven Frigid City was renamed the Ling Empress City.
Needless to say, the city indicated how much Lu Li missed Lu Ling.
It could also serve as a reminder to Lu Li that he would not be able to save Lu Ling without enough power. He could only watch her suffer out there.
Originally, Lu Li wanted to name the empire the Ling Empire as well. However, this name was opposed by everyone. The name was too hasty and not impressive enough.
In the end, after some discussion, Lu Feixue personally made the decision. The new empire would be called the Shenwu Empire.
The name was decided and so was the date. In half a month, Lu Li would be crowned emperor.
In fact …
Lu Li didn't want to proclaim himself as an emperor. After all, the Northern Desert was a small place. Being an emperor here was no different from being a chieftain. He would be laughed at by the big families at the Central Plains.
If a disciple of the Lu Family was exiled and he went to a small place like the Northern Desert to proclaim himself as an emperor, he would become a laughing stock among the disciples of the big families.
That being said, it had always been like this in the history of the Northern Desert. To unify the Northern Desert, one had to build an empire. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
…
The Hall of Phoenix.
Lu Feixue sent the maids away and began to talk business with Lu Li, "Lu Li, you are going to be crowned soon. Even though the emperor is nothing to the big shots of the Central Plains, you are still the king of a Plains.
How can you not have a harem when you are an emperor?
I think Bai Xiashuang is a good candidate. You can have her in your harem. "
"Of course …"
Before Lu Li could say anything, Lu Feixue continued, "You are the eldest grandson of the Lu Family. You have a high status. Bai Xiashuang cannot be your wife. She can only be a concubine.
Your future wife must be a young lady of the 12 Royal Families. You cannot be careless about this. "
Lu Li was speechless. When it came to marriage, first of all, there must be feelings.
The two of them were just friends. Who would force a marriage between them?
Everything could be discussed. This was Lu Li's own business. He must make the decision himself.
Under Lu Li's insistence, Lu Feixue couldn't bring it up again.
Half a month later, almost all the Family Patriarchs above the third rank of the Northern Desert gathered at the newly named Ling Empress City to witness Lu Li's coronation and the establishment of the Empire of Godly Prowess.
The ceremony was simple. Lu Li stressed on it or else it would take him a whole day of work.
In the plaza, Lu Li was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. He led the officials to worship to heaven. Then they all knelt down and chanted, "Long live the emperor" …
Lu Li didn't feel complacent looking at the people on their knees and the powerful warriors kneeling at his feet. Instead, he felt a sense of loss.
He looked to the south, a sense of loneliness on his face.
How he wished that Lu Ling was here to witness this scene.
He and Lu Ling depended on each other since they were young. They grew up in the Di Long Tribe with great difficulty. They were lonely and bullied. Lu Ling was almost raped, which made her a cripple.
At that time, Lu Li could only look up to any random warrior at the Wu Ling County, let alone become the master of the Northern Desert.
For the sake of several Body Refinement Pellets, he even pulled coffins for the Liu Family …
Now that he was the emperor of the Northern Desert, he had more than 10 Noble Lord Realm warriors, hundreds of Eternal Realm warriors, and countless Fate Wheel Realm and Soul Pond Realm warriors.
He was the master of the Northern Desert, but he didn't know where Lu Ling was.
What kind of fate did she suffer?
"Sister, wait for me!"
Lu Li clenched his fists secretly. His veins were popping out. He began to plan.
When the Northern Desert was stabilized, he would go to Jiang Qiling and ask her to help him find Lu Ling.
At the same time, he would send someone to look for Lu Ling. Once he found her, he would save her at all costs.
"Father and mother!"
Lu Li looked to the north. There was a trace of pain on his face.
He knew his parents were in there but he couldn't save them. Who could understand this kind of pain and grievance?
"I must find a way!"
Lu Li had enough people on his side now. He could send some to the Ice Abyss to die.
He had to find a way to go in no matter what. Maybe he could save Lu Renhuang and his mother.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live ~"
Shouts came from all directions like a tsunami. All the streets in the city were filled with people on their knees. They were all shouting and shouting.
In the morning light, Lu Li's figure seemed to be covered with a mysterious halo, which made him stand out.
"Long live?
Long live is too long. I must seize every minute! "
Lu Li murmured. He would rather live a vigorous 100 years than live a useless life for 10,000 years.
His journey had just begun after he got the Northern Desert.
