Chapter 707: Preparing for the Grand Wedding

Pfft!

At the same time, in a hidden location, a figure suddenly spat out blood, his expression turning grim.

This person was none other than the Black Demon himself. His external incarnation had been smashed to death by Sun Wukong with one strike, resulting in a backlash that left him in this state.

After composing himself, the Black Demon’s face was full of hatred. “Damn it, Lin Qian, and that Sun Wukong!”

His voice was hoarse and filled with resentment. After countless years of planning, everything had been ruined in an instant, a situation he found unbearable.

This outcome was something he simply could not accept.

He never would have imagined that he would fall at the hands of mere mortals. If word of this got out, he would be the laughingstock of the world.

“Lin Qian, I’ll remember you,” Black Demon muttered, eyes narrowing with hatred. “With your talent, one day, you’ll ascend to the Celestial Upper Realm. When that day comes, I’ll make sure you perish without a trace.”

Meanwhile, Lin Qian had no idea that Black Demon held such a grudge against him, keeping him in his sights for future revenge.

For now, what lay before Lin Qian was a mountain of problems to fix. The entire Soul Martial Continent, though not completely destroyed, had suffered significant damage from the battle with the Dead Spirit Army.

More importantly, the landscape of the Soul Martial Continent had changed completely. The savage alien races were wiped out, and only one power remained across the entire continent—the Huaxia Empire!

During the great war, all human factions and other alien races had sworn allegiance to the Huaxia Empire, taking soul-binding oaths and receiving identity certificates.

By the time Lin Qian emerged from seclusion, the entire Soul Martial Continent had been unified.

However, after the war, there was much rebuilding to do.

Lin Qian and Ye Xin were incredibly busy, dealing with affairs from all corners of the empire. Almost every day, court sessions were held to address matters.

The leaders of the alien races that had joined the Huaxia Empire were now responsible for their respective tribes. After swearing allegiance, they had been too busy fighting the Dead Spirit Army to fully experience life within the empire.

As they attended more court sessions and as the Soul Vision Devices spread across the continent, they gradually came to understand the true nature of the Huaxia Empire.

The more they learned, the more shocked they were.

This was a perfect empire, the kind of power they had dreamed of—a true home!

From small homes to large ones, and from large ones to the nation!

All races were equal, and Lin Qian’s will was fully implemented throughout the Huaxia Empire. Human factions that had joined later also adapted to this new atmosphere.

The environment was crucial. Under Lin Qian’s leadership, the Huaxia Empire had developed a unique charm that integrated the various races, uniting them. Each race found their own place to thrive, contributing their talents to the empire.

Lin Qian brought out a wealth of resources from Xuanhuan Star, while the people of the Soul Martial Continent also contributed their own resources and efforts, working together to rebuild the continent.

The Heavenly Crafts Department was in charge of setting up formations, and the Fireworks Department now included not only the Dwarves but also Goblins and other craftsmen races who had joined in.

New towns and cities began to rise from the ground, providing homes for those displaced by war. The East and West Continents no longer held any distinctions.

People from both continents began to mingle and move freely. Many humans from the East moved to the West to explore its scenery.

Even beneath the sea, many non-aquatic races moved in to experience life under the water.

Throughout this grand rebuilding effort, the importance of the Department of Transportation became strikingly evident.

Under Lin Qian's guidance, the first thing to be restored was the Department of Education, and the first structures to be built were schools, ensuring that every child in the Huaxia Empire could attend school and receive education in the unique ways of this world.

This single action alone demonstrated the distinctiveness of the Huaxia Empire.

Time flew by, and Lin Qian and Ye Xin supported each other, managing the affairs of the entire Soul Martial Continent.

Since this was an unfamiliar world, Lin Qian made every decision with great caution.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

Because Lin Qian had been preoccupied with governance, his cultivation progress was slower than expected, only reaching the sixth level of the Saint Realm.

Meanwhile, after awakening her bloodline, Ye Xin’s cultivation surged, allowing her to reach the Saint Realm as well, much to everyone’s surprise.

Standing in the sky above the Huaxia Palace, Lin Qian gazed into the distance, filled with emotion.

Unknowingly, he had spent forty-five years in this world. At forty-five, he would have been considered middle-aged in his previous life, but here, in the Soul Martial Continent, he was still a young man by their standards.

After all, now that both he and Ye Xin had reached the Saint Realm, their lifespans had extended to over nine thousand years!

Whoosh!

In an instant, starlight flickered as Ye Xin, dressed in light silks, appeared beside Lin Qian. “Little Qian, what are you doing here all alone?”

“Father has been in slumber for too long,” Lin Qian said softly as he glanced at Ye Xin beside him. “I don’t know when he’ll wake up, so I think it’s time we stopped waiting.”

“Huh?”

Lin Qian turned, spreading his arms wide as he gave Ye Xin a gentle smile. “Marry me, won’t you? Xin’er!”

Ye Xin froze, completely stunned by his words, taking a long moment to react.

Tears quietly flowed from her eyes as she leaped into Lin Qian’s arms.

“Yes!”

Soon after, the entire Soul Martial Continent was decorated in vibrant red, a festive atmosphere filling every corner. The whole continent was brimming with joy.

The reason was simple: their Emperor and Empress were finally getting married. How could this not be a cause for national celebration?

The wedding preparations were in full swing, with governors and city lords from all over the Huaxia Empire flocking to the Huaxia Palace in the East Continent.

Although many people regretted not being able to attend the wedding in person, they could at least witness the grand event.

Thanks to the Soul Vision Devices frequently broadcasting the preparations, they knew that the wedding would also be broadcast live when the time came.

“Thank goodness for the Soul Vision Devices created by His Majesty. Without them, how could our lives be so full of color?” an elderly man remarked as he stood on the street, watching the Soul Vision broadcast with deep emotion.

“Grandfather, are you talking about this device here?” Just then, a voice sounded next to the old man.

The old man turned and looked at the person asking the question. His expression changed as he hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Empress! What brings you here?”
