"Thank you, Master." Zhuge Wuhui bowed deeply, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement. "I, Zhuge Wuhui, vow to serve you faithfully from now on and will manage the Southern Divine Domain well."
"Mm." Tan Yun nodded in satisfaction. "Get up."
The Southern Sovereign looked at the Gods and said, "From now on, you must all pledge your loyalty to me. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The Gods replied in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Then, under the respectful guidance of the Southern Sovereign, Tan Yun and Fang Zixi entered the Southern Ancestral City.
The Gods within the city were already aware that the Southern Divine Domain had changed hands, and the new master was Tan Yun from the Immortal Ancient Divine Race.
As Tan Yun and Fang Zixi moved through the city, everyone knelt down in reverence. Thus, they made their way back to the Southern Divine Domain Imperial Palace.
Inside the Imperial Palace, Tan Yun took his seat on the dragon throne, with the Southern Sovereign and others standing below.
Tan Yun looked at the Southern Sovereign and said, "Now that Hu Yan Zhang and the Western Continent Emperor are dead, as the Southern Sovereign, do you know how to handle the affairs of the Southern Divine Domain?"
After a moment of contemplation, the Southern Sovereign replied, "Reporting to you, Master, first, I will announce to the entire Southern Divine Domain the news of my position as the Southern Sovereign and your position as the master of the Southern Divine Domain."
"Second, for those who are disobedient or in rebellion, I will first offer them courtesy before using force, making my own decisions."
Tan Yun asked, "What do you mean by courtesy before force?"
The Southern Sovereign explained, "Courtesy means notifying all the city lords of the Southern Ancestral Dynasty and the leaders of all forces in the Southern Divine Domain to come to the Southern Ancestral Dynasty."
"For those who do not come or show dissent, they will be killed without question, and then I will mobilize the Ancestral Army to completely uproot the rebel forces."
"Good." Tan Yun smiled in satisfaction. "Continue."
"Yes, Master." The Southern Sovereign continued, "Third, to be cautious, I will arrange for trusted individuals to go to each force just in case."
"Fourth..."
For the next moment, the Southern Sovereign spoke at length about more than ten points.
"Very well." Tan Yun looked at the Southern Sovereign and said, "What you said is all very good."
"I will give you a saying today; you must remember it."
"Please speak, Master." The Southern Sovereign bowed.
Tan Yun enunciated clearly, "What is said must be done."
The Southern Sovereign's expression became serious as he responded, "Yes, Master!"
"Mm." Tan Yun waved his hand to the Gods and said, "The others may leave. I have matters to discuss with the Southern Sovereign."
"Yes, Master. We take our leave." After the group of strong individuals left, Tan Yun looked at the Southern Sovereign and said, "Next, I will attack the Northern and Eastern Divine Domains, so I will not stay in the Southern Divine Domain."
"Unless unexpected circumstances arise, within a hundred years or a few decades at most, I will destroy the enemy forces in the Northern and Eastern Divine Domains."
"Therefore, during this period, the Southern Divine Domain will be entrusted to you."
Upon hearing this, the Southern Sovereign's expression was invigorated as he said, "I congratulate you in advance for your triumphant return, Master."
"Mm." Tan Yun said, "While I attack the two major continents, if enemies raid the Southern Divine Domain, do you know what to do?"
"I will fight to the death against the enemies!" The Southern Sovereign said decisively.
"No." Tan Yun shook his head.
"No?" The Southern Sovereign was puzzled, shaking his head. "I am dull; what does the Master mean?"
Tan Yun instructed, "You remember, if a stronger enemy comes to attack, you must hide in the Southern Ancestral City and not go out."
"If the attacking enemies are weaker than you, then you can go to battle."
