Eternal life begins with saving my clan

The death of King Jin Chang shook the entire human kingdom, but his betrayal left the people stupefied.

It rattled the very core of the human race. The imperial family, long considered the strong pillar upon which the kingdom relied, was revealed to be nothing but a facade.

For the next three days, the entire kingdom buzzed with rumors and gossip, while the imperial capital was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

All the powerful clans eagerly awaited the next course of action—namely, the crowning of a new king.

A battle for the throne might have erupted, but the sheer presence of Zimo and his men rendered such ambitions impossible.

As impatience grew among the clans, they were summoned to the palace.

Inside the grand hall, all the major clan leaders stood quietly, their gazes fixed on Zimo and his men.

"I won't waste any of your time. Let me get straight to the point," Zimo began, his authoritative voice echoing through the hall.

"The human kingdom needs a new ruler, but none of you will govern this land. The Magma Plain has now fallen under the rule of the Barren Land."

He paused briefly, his sharp gaze scanning the shrewd faces of the clan leaders before continuing.

"The store originates from the Barren Land. Therefore, anything connected to the store is directly tied to the Barren Land."

The more Zimo spoke, the more solemn the expressions of the clan leaders became.

How could the store claim control over the entire Magma Plain?

These leaders had come to the palace with dreams of elevating their clans from mere nobility to imperial status. But Zimo's words extinguished their fantasies.

The store wasn't just going to govern the human kingdom—it aimed to dominate the other two kingdoms as well.

How insane is this?

Yet, when they recalled the devastating power of the sword strike, their hearts trembled.

Though countless thoughts raced through their minds, they remained calm and listened attentively.

"Although the Barren Land will be the ultimate ruler of this plain, we will not meddle in your internal affairs. And this is what has led to my next decision," Zimo said.

"There will no longer be a king in the human kingdom. Instead, the kingdom will be governed by a senate cabinet."

"What?!" the clan leaders exclaimed, their eyes widening in disbelief.

How could the kingdom function without a king?

The leaders exchanged uneasy glances, confusion evident on their faces.

A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked respectfully, "My Lord, can you please elaborate on what a senate cabinet entails?"

Zimo nodded and gestured to Deng Kun. Upon receiving the signal, Deng Kun began explaining the concept of the cabinet to the gathered leaders.

After ten minutes, they understood what a senate cabinet meant. Though it didn't carry the same prestige as a kingship, it held significant power.

"Now that you understand what a senate cabinet is, let's move to the second part—how to form it," Zimo continued.

He elaborated on the store's already devised plan for ruling the human kingdom and its neighboring territories.

The human kingdom would have six senate seats, with candidates chosen from each region, while one seat would be allocated to the imperial capital.

The following day, news of the new power structure spread throughout the kingdom.

For those with Spirit Comms, the details of the new government were clearly displayed.

Within minutes, the announcement became the top trending news on You Connect.

Across the kingdom's five regions, bustling activity ensued as clans raced to position themselves for a seat in the cabinet.

While the human race prepared for the formation of their new government, other kingdoms were also making significant decisions.

Larilia Kingdom

Inside a magnificent palace, a strikingly beautiful woman with golden eyes sat on her throne.

Her voluminous chest and long legs complemented her flowing golden hair, cascading like a waterfall.

Her mere presence exuded authority and prestige—a true ruler.

This was the Tigress of Larilia, queen of the mixed-race kingdom.

A member of the Golden Tiger Clan, her iron rule had elevated the Larilia Kingdom to greatness.

Before the Necoris turned their evil claws toward the human race, their initial target had been the mixed-race kingdom.

But under her reign, everything changed. She repelled the Necoris and safeguarded her people.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Since then, the mixed-race inhabitants rarely ventured beyond their territory.

"My Queen, please reconsider," an old man pleaded, kneeling on the gleaming tiles.

Behind him knelt four others—three men and one woman—pleading for their queen to change her decision.

"Do you no longer trust me?" the queen asked coldly.

Hearing the icy tone of their queen, the group quickly responded in unison.

"My Queen, we dare not! We trust you with our lives," the old man replied. Discover stories with empire

"But we are worried about your safety. Humans cannot be trusted," he added hesitantly.

The queen's frown softened slightly. "I understand your concerns, but rest assured—I will not jeopardize my safety."

Hearing this, the group exchanged subtle glances and sighed in resignation.

Once the queen had made up her mind, there was no changing it.

"Please be careful, Our Queen," they shouted.

Whoosh!

The queen nodded and disappeared from her throne.

Above the imperial palace, a massive avian beast hovered—the Red Lightning Eagle.

The queen appeared atop the eagle, and a loud screech echoed from its beak, announcing its dominance.

Trailing behind the Red Lightning Eagle were one hundred Sky Wind Eagles, ridden by the queen's guards.

These guards, all women, wielded long silver spears and exuded a chilling aura.

"Let's go," the queen commanded.

Whoosh!

The Red Lightning Eagle, with a wingspan of ten meters, flapped its wings, creating a powerful gust of wind before disappearing into the horizon, leaving a trail of red lightning.

Standing at the palace entrance, the group of advisors watched their departing queen, their faces etched with worry and concern.

In contrast, the ordinary citizens fell to their knees in worship upon seeing the trail of the Red Lightning Eagle.

To them, the queen was a goddess incarnate.

Standing atop the eagle, the queen gazed toward the human kingdom with unwavering determination.

Her conviction stemmed from the Sword Strike that had shaken the entire Magma Plain.
