Chapter 692: Willing to Lay Down My Life for Your Majesty
"Your Majesty! We are still being hunted by the Qin State. If we go with you to Little Sage Village now, will there be any trouble?"
Hearing Liu Bian's words, Gao Jianli said with some worry.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bian waved his hand and said lightly:
"Rest assured. Since I dare to appear here, naturally I am not afraid of the Qin State."
"So long as I wish to leave, there is no one in the Qin State who can hold me back!"
Seeing Liu Bian's confident expression, Gao Jianli and the others could not help but feel at ease.
At this moment, Liu Bian also turned his gaze to Gai Nie and asked him:
"Gai Nie, are you willing to join my Han Empire? As long as you join my Han Empire, I can appoint you as a Vice Third Rank Imperial Tribute of the Han Empire's Tribute Hall."
"Moreover, after joining the Han Empire, techniques, martial techniques — all of these, my Han Empire can provide to you."
"You must understand, this world is very wonderful, and the path of Martial Dao is also very long. The Martial Emperor Realm is merely an inconspicuous realm on the path of Martial Dao!"
Hearing Liu Bian's words, a glint flashed in Gai Nie's eyes.
He already believed what Liu Bian had said!
Moreover, ever since he defected from Great Qin, he had no way back.
His good friend Jing Ke's son Tianming, he had already rescued, and now had even become the Giant of the Mo Family. The promise to his good friend, he had also fulfilled.
Then, his gaze turned to Duanmu Rong beside him, and a flash of resolve passed through his eyes.
Duanmu Rong had been watching Gai Nie all along. Seeing his gaze suddenly turn to her, she was startled, quickly turned her head away, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.
Yet, deep within her heart, she was extremely happy.
From now on, he would live for himself; he now had a goal to keep living for!
Moreover, given Liu Bian's strength, if he dared to refuse, the other party would absolutely not let him off.
Then, Gai Nie looked at Liu Bian, dropped to one knee before him, and respectfully called out:
"Your subject Gai Nie, greets Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha, good! From now on, you are a Vice Third Rank Imperial Tribute of my Han Empire's Tribute Hall, entitled to the National Fortune Power of an Official Rank from Third Grade of my Han Empire!"
As Liu Bian's words fell, Liu Bian's True Body, who was in the Great Han Main Realm, also suddenly sensed something.
"Granted!"
With Liu Bian's True Body's approval, in the Da Qin World, as Liu Bian's World Avatar's words fell, a National Fortune Golden Dragon over two hundred zhang in size appeared in the sky.
"Roar!"
As a Dragon Cry sounded, a stream of red National Fortune Power was spat from the mouth of the Han National Fortune Golden Dragon, shrouding toward Gai Nie who was kneeling on the ground.
"A dragon! It's a Divine Dragon!"
And the people who had just joined the Han all saw the Han Empire's National Fortune Golden Dragon and cried out in shock.
"Boom!"
As the National Fortune Power merged into his body, Gai Nie only felt a surge of pure Spiritual Power suddenly flood into his body.
This Spiritual Power even healed all the hidden wounds accumulated from his many years of cultivation, and his cultivation advanced, breaking straight through to the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor.
Sensing the changes within his body, Gai Nie rose and looked at Liu Bian in disbelief.
"Your Majesty! This… this couldn't possibly also be something you did?"
Gai Nie looked at Liu Bian, whose expression was calm, and said in disbelief.
The Mo Family members nearby, upon hearing Gai Nie's words, also looked at Liu Bian with anticipation, their eyes full of fervent color.
If Liu Bian truly possessed such means, then their submission to the Han would be the wisest choice.
To be able to raise Gai Nie, who was at the First Heaven of Martial Emperor Realm, by an entire realm out of thin air — such an ability was too heaven-defying. They had never heard of anyone among the Various Schools of Thought possessing such a heaven-defying method.
"What you have just witnessed is my Han Empire's National Fortune Golden Dragon. The reason Gai Nie's cultivation could advance is due to the feedback of National Fortune Power from my Han Empire."
"My Han Empire is not a nation of your world, but comes from another world!"
"What! The Han Empire is actually not a nation of our world!"
"And there really are other worlds!"
Hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone was shocked once again — even more stunned than when they heard the Xiongnu had been extinguished.
The Han was actually not a nation of their world — this explained everything.
No wonder the Han's strength was so great!
No wonder the Han Empire was so mysterious — even now, no one knew the origins of the Han Empire.
"Once a nation establishes a Fortune Dynasty, it can condense a National Fortune Golden Dragon. The lowest grade of a Fortune Dynasty is a Kingdom, and above a Kingdom is an Imperial Dynasty…"
"And once a Fortune Dynasty is established and protected by the National Fortune Golden Dragon, natural disasters within the Fortune Dynasty will be reduced."
"Moreover, the citizens of the Fortune Dynasty, bathed in National Fortune Power over long periods, will have their physiques grow stronger, and more and more people with special physiques will be born!"
……
Then, Liu Bian briefly introduced the benefits of a Fortune Dynasty to everyone.
After hearing about the benefits of a Fortune Dynasty, everyone was utterly shocked.
Then, they also felt somewhat ashamed at their own insignificance.
However, thinking of the benefits of National Fortune Power, a fervent gleam once again appeared in everyone's eyes.
Hearing Liu Bian speak so highly of National Fortune Power, their longing for National Fortune Power grew even stronger.
And the best way to obtain National Fortune Power was to join the Han Empire and become citizens of the Han Empire.
Fortunately, their Mo Family had already joined the Han Empire.
However, at present, most of them were only First-Class Citizens of the Han Empire, and could enjoy very little National Fortune Power.
And to enjoy more National Fortune Power, one could only hold an official position within the Han Empire.
The higher the official rank, the more National Fortune Power one could obtain, and the faster one's future cultivation speed would be.
Thinking of this, everyone dropped to their knees before Liu Bian and shouted in unison:
"We shall pledge our lives to serve Your Majesty! Pledge our lives to serve the Han Empire!"
If Liu Bian were to check everyone's Loyalty at this moment, he would find that all of them had already reached over seventy percent.
Such Loyalty was already very high — they would not betray Liu Bian lightly.
However, none of this mattered; once they all Cultivated the techniques Liu Bian had given them, they would be absolutely loyal to him.
"Please rise, gentlemen! So long as you serve the Emperor well from now on, and render meritorious service for the Han Empire, the Emperor shall not treat you poorly!"
After having them rise, Liu Bian said with a smile. The old method of ruling — stick and carrot — was a cliché, but it worked!
Sure enough, upon hearing Liu Bian's words, the men answered loudly with great emotion:
"We obey Your Majesty's decree! We are willing to die for Your Majesty!"
