"The Eternal Great World!"
"The Floating Realm!"
Chu Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
He had only just come to realize that the world he was within was the so-called Eternal Great World, but as for the Floating Realm, he had read some records about it in the history books, so it wasn't particularly surprising.
"The Great World in which the Host resides is indeed the Eternal Great World."
The System rarely actively explained things, but every explanation it provided was crucial.
"The Floating Realm is a region within the Eternal Great World. There are many Imperial Dynasties with various powers. The strongest dynasty is the five-star Floating Imperial Dynasty. The Floating Realm is named after this dynasty."
Chu Yuan understood that this information had appeared because he had completed his first mainline mission, Annihilation of the Great Hidden Dynasty, and raised its power level, which triggered this explanation.
The strength of an imperial dynasty is categorized based on national power, distinguishing the levels of the dynasties. It's divided into nine ranks.
Every nine-star dynasty must have a Celestial God rank power overseeing it!
All dynasties below Celestial God rank are one-star dynasties.
Like the Great Hidden Dynasty, it is the strongest one-star dynasty.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Yuan had never ventured out and the public didn't know a Celestial God rank power was in charge, their national strength would have been enough for a two-star dynasty.
In obliterating the Great Hidden Dynasty, Chu Yuan had nearly annihilated a two-star nation, hence elevating his realm to a two-star dynasty.
A five-star dynasty must have a God Position power in charge.
"This is rather interesting."
At this moment, Chu Yuan was looking at the three main missions that were laid out before him.
The prerequisite for completing these three main missions was to ascend to the level of a five-star dynasty.
Whether it was going overseas, or to Wan Beast Mountain Range, or dominating the Floating Realm, they all seemed equally challenging at first glance.
However, having had the System for so long, Chu Yuan could more or less conclude that different choices of the mainline mission would result in different future developments, different rewards, and thus, different trajectories of life.
Leaving the choice of the main missions and their developments to himself, this was indeed interesting.
"Only children choose. If multiple choices are allowed, I will take them all!"
Chu Yuan wanted them all!
Each of the three main missions offered substantial rewards.
Since these three were not single-choice missions and all could be selected, why wouldn't Chu Yuan attempt to take them all?
He was not one to be so easily satisfied.
"Host has initiated Main Mission One: ascend to a five-star dynasty and establish a base at West-South State for overseas expansion; conquer or exterminate ten four-star Overseas Dynasties, and a five-star Overseas Dynasty."
"Host has initiated Main Mission Two: ascend to a five-star dynasty and establish a base at Wan Beast Mountain Range to eliminate or subdue thirty Divine Beast Demons, and five God Position Beast Demons."
"Host has initiated Main Mission Three: ascend to a five-star dynasty and establish a base at Floating Realm to become the strongest dynasty in the Floating Realm."
"All three main missions have been initiated, and all need to be completed before the next stage of main missions can be unlocked."
"The Attribute Facet has been freshly regenerated."
The System's prompts came continuously.
"Really? Can all be chosen?" Chu Yuan was somewhat surprised. He had tried and succeeded and subsequently laughed. "It appears that my choice this time was correct. The more main missions, the richer the rewards."
"After these rewards, my Destiny Points balance stands at fourteen thousand and fifty points."
Chu Yuan checked his Destiny Points!
Without any hesitation, the realm was fundamental. Everything else was superficial. Despite his current ability to slay those on the edge of godhood, if he wanted to upgrade his Great Martial stability to that of a five-star dynasty, he was far from ready.
A five-star dynasty needed not only a God Position strength to guard it but also a coordinated increase in national power.
"Divine Realm fifth layer!"
"Divine Realm sixth layer!"
"Divine Realm seventh layer!"
"Divine Realm eighth layer!"
Each layer of the Divine Realm required three thousand Destiny Points to upgrade. Chu Yuan had used twelve thousand Destiny Points in one breath, upgrading his realm by four layers and gaining a thorough understanding.
The remaining two thousand and fifty points were not enough for further upgrades.
Currently, Chu Yuan had three ways to enhance his cultivation.
One was through cultivation, circulating the Emperor's Sutra and gathering the power of faith from the human race using the Emperor's Sword as a source of faith.
Second was the Devouring Technique, killing powerful enemies in battle and devouring their power.
And third, using Destiny Points.
With these three great advantages, Chu Yuan was confident that his realm could be enhanced quickly.
Chu Yuan opened up his attribute panel. It was completely refreshed!

The previous goal have been changed, replaced with these three brand new main goals.
Chu Yuan takes a long breath.
Suddenly, there was the sound of artillery fire from the outskirts of the city, as it was already New Year's Eve, the day had passed, the grand army was firing in celebration.
The first day of the thirty-first year of the Great Martial Calendar.
Chu Yuan eradicates a country and establishes a brand new dynasty.
In the thirtieth year of Dawu, the previous Emperor of Dawu passed away, with the country facing crisis of potential downfall, but with Chu Yuan ascending to the throne, the situation took a breathtaking turn in merely half a year.
Yesterday, the unjust dynasty still existed, but today it was long gone, everything was like a dream, one from which it was impossible to wake up.
Although the unjust dynasty was eradicated, Chu Yuan had strictly ordered not to loot, kill, or disturb the civilians, so even though the civilians were somewhat panicked, they were able to have a peaceful New Year, and Dawu had also sent them supplies.
The new imperial decree was also delivered.
"In the recent battle, the soldiers and generals fought bravely and achieved remarkable merits. The emperor has ordered to bestow great rewards, and for the soldiers who died, there are also heavy rewards for their families."
Chu Yuan was not stingy in his rewards at all.
He knew, only with balanced rewards and punishments, would it be possible to truly control the army of a country.
Indeed, under his generous rewards, the soldiers hailed, "Long live the Emperor! Long last the Emperor!"
The new year celebration was vastly different, it was spent inside the imperial city of the unjust dynasty, although more accurately, it was now Dragon City of Dragon Province in Dragon Prefecture of Dawu.
Over these few days, various officials from Dawu arrived swiftly to quickly draw up new laws.
After all, they had previously been enacting the laws of the unjust dynasty, which greatly differed from those of Dawu.
Apart from laws, new institutions needed to be re-established, such as deciding who would be the governor and the county magistrate for Dragon Prefecture, which was a complex affair.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan did not need to worry about these, as Dawu court officials would handle it. He only needed to listen to reports and then give the final decision.
The Dragon Hall of the unjust dynasty!
This place was originally where the unjust emperor held court and ascended the throne.
But now, it was filled with people from Dawu.
The matters here have not yet been fully settled, Chu Yuan still needed to suppress the forces in Dragon City, and thus could not return to the capital for now.
"Your Majesty, regarding the pensions for the fallen soldiers, they have been sent out at the fastest speed. However, the imprisoned tens of millions of soldiers from the four countries outside the city consume a large amount of food and straw every day, and cause a huge amount of manpower to be spent in auditing them, which may lead to revolts."
The Minister of Revenue arrived when Chu Yuan launched the battle to conquer the unjust dynasty, and had the Department's staff calculate the losses. He was vexed with how to deal with the surrendered elites of the four countries.
Tens of millions of people, it was too many. If mishandled, it could turn into a ticking time bomb.
"Once we have generally got the internal affairs of the former unjust dynasty under control, and established order, in celebration of Dawu's promotion to a two-star dynasty, I will grant amnesty to all, and will not punish these soldiers. Those who wish to return to civilian life can go home."
Chu Yuan already had a plan after hearing these reports.
"For those who do not want to return, if they wish to join the Dawu Army, they can also enlist. My Divine Martial Army also needs to absorb quite a number of elites from them. Tell them about the treatment they will receive in Dawu."
Chu Yuan was planning to have the strong men among these troops join the Divine Martial Army.
With the War Army Chessboard, Chu Yuan was not afraid of anyone betraying him.
Furthermore, the War Army Chessboard binds one million men, and currently only has eleven to twelve thousand, so even if the Yuan Shen or higher strengths from the four countries were all enlisted, they still wouldn't be full.
The current military composition of Dawu was obviously insufficient.
He would also select elites from Dawu to form new military units, then completely disperse the rest, and in no time, with his authority and Dawu's balance of soft and hard tactics, they could turn the strong men from the four countries into his own people.
With the Human Emperor's Sword, as the most powerful being in the country, everyone would believe in him, the Supreme of Humanity.
"Your Majesty, I have reviewed the historical documents of the unjust dynasty and now know the background of the Dark Abyss Dynasty."
Minister Lu Qian reported at this time.
