Emperor’s Domination

ly look up at.

She also used to be on the same level as Liu Chuqing. Both of them had a marriage agreement with Li Qiye but because of her pride, she wanted to break off the engagement.

Now, Chuqing was worshipped by all of Nine Secrets on top of having the nine highly-coveted words – the only one in all of Nine Secrets enjoying this glory. She, on the other hand, remained a princess of Godstep, not comparable to the queen of the system. She sighed in dejection. Her short-sighted foolishness left her in this situation.

Nevertheless, their sect was still lucky because they managed to survive this disaster.

Wind God turned towards Zhang Jianchuan. He might not be the most talented in the sect but he certainly had the most potential in the future. The sects prosperity relied on him.

The system became serene again after the bloodbath. Li Qiye didnt care for mundane matters and left everything to Liu Chuqing.

This was her first exposure to administrative duty so she lacked confidence. Nevertheless, she eventually accepted the task after receiving encouragement from Li Qiye.

He purposely groomed her since Nine Secrets was only a temporary stop to him. He would leave soon enough and would return this land. Thus, he chose Liu Chuqing as the next successor. After taking care of mundane matters, he focused on searching for the grand dao.

Chuqing was a gentle ruler compared to Li Qiyes brutality. Nine Secrets System became peaceful and lively again. The frightened sects moved on with their lives. Everyone felt that the new queen was indeed virtuous and kind, worthy of her position.

Farther away in Imperial was a declining system named Stone Harmony. A big event had just happened here.

It was once extremely powerful. During its peak, it managed to reign the entire world. The Mu and Li paled in comparison back then. One could say that it had united Imperial Lineage, simply unstoppable.

Strange enough, the system started declining without facing any external threat. More and more people started to migrate and left the desolate land behind.

After declining to a certain extent, a systems dao source would change as well. When it deteriorated and became unable to support the land, the entire thing would collapse. It would fall from Imperial Lineage down to Myriad Lineage.

Insane Court was an example. It was an immortal system at its peak and eventually fell all the way down to Myriad Lineage.

So now, Stone Harmony was abandoned with no powerful sect to speak of. Not to mention powerful entities similar to Calm Lotus or Bingchi, one couldnt even find a first-rate sect there.

In fact, Stone Harmony would still be a terrible system down in Myriad Lineage, on the verge of destruction.

The strange part was that after millions of years, this system continued to stay in Imperial Lineage. There was no sign of it falling down to the lower realm.

People couldnt come up with an explanation for this unique phenomenon. Later on, one progenitor observed the system. This great being concluded that its dao source was still as vibrant as ever. Thats why the reason why it could linger in Imperial.

This only further confused everyone. If the dao source was still powerful, then why did the system decline so rapidly?
