Seeing Tsunami Master being so ungrateful, Little Black, standing next to Liu Guanfeng, directly unleashed its Divine Beast Pressure onto Tsunami Master. The poor little Little Guy was so frightened that it stumbled back several steps.
Liu Guanfeng chuckled and patted Little Black on the head, saying, "Senior brother, don't scare it too much. It's just trying to protect its master."
Little Black raised its face and said, "Little Little Guy, I'll spare you this time for my junior brother's sake. But if you dare to disrespect him again, be careful that I might crush your bones."
Liu Guanfeng could do nothing about Little Black's words and could only shake his head with a wry smile. Meanwhile, Black Eagle felt even more embarrassed and could only comfort his companion.
Liu Guanfeng looked at Tsunami Master and said to Black Eagle, "General Black, is your companion still at the Eighth Rank?"
Black Eagle gently stroked Mount's fur and nodded, "Yes, this is already the highest level in their group. Without any fortuitous encounters, my old partner wouldn't be able to break through."
"Is there anything that can help them break through?"
"There is indeed something. I heard that in In the Sea, there is a type of Giant Clam. This kind of Giant Clam takes five hundred years to grow, and once it matures, it produces a type of pearl. Each Giant Clam can only produce one pearl every five hundred years throughout its life, and only three pearls in total. This pearl can raise the level of Water Attribute magical beasts by one rank."
"What does this pearl look like? Where can it be found?"
"This pearl is about the size of a fist and is white. If you look at it in the sunlight, you can see water flowing inside the pearl. We people here call this pearl the Sea God Pearl."
Thinking back, Liu Guanfeng recalled seeing something like this on the last Sunken Island. At that time, he was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention; he thought it was just an ordinary pearl and took it. He originally planned to crush it for his mother and Li Xiaohan when he returned to the Four Sacred Islands. Now that he thought about it, it really might be this kind of pearl.
After considering this, Liu Guanfeng stood up and said to Black Eagle, "Wait for me here; I'm going back to my room."
Not knowing why Liu Guanfeng wanted to return to his room, Black Eagle didn't stop him and nodded instead. Upon returning to his room, Liu Guanfeng infused his consciousness into the Cosmic Bag, wanting to find out where he had placed that pearl. After searching through all his belongings, he finally found the fist-sized Sea God Pearl among a pile of treasures and coins. In his room, holding the pearl up to the sunlight confirmed what Black Eagle had said; he could indeed see water flowing inside.
Stepping out of the room again, Liu Guanfeng said, "General Black, take a look if this is the pearl." He handed the Sea God Pearl to Black Eagle.
Black Eagle held the pearl in his hand and looked at it under the sun, nodding repeatedly. "Yes, this is indeed the Sea God Pearl."
"Since it's the Sea God Pearl, I'll give it to you."
Black Eagle was taken aback. "Liu President, I really can't accept this. You've already given me too much since you arrived yesterday. I absolutely cannot take this."
"Black General, you can see that my Mount doesn't need such things anymore. As a powerful Divine Knight, without a Ninth Tier Mount, your strength will be greatly diminished. Don't you want your old companion to become a Ninth Tier beast?"
Seeing the Sea God Pearl in Black Eagle's hand, his Mount, Tsunami Master, immediately approached, its eyes gleaming with greed.
"Black General, look at your old companion; it can barely hold on. Just give it to him. Only when he becomes a Ninth Tier beast can you truly be considered a Divine-Level Expert."
Finally, Black Eagle made up his mind. He had lived his life for the new world. With that thought, he nodded. "Then thank you once again." Saying this, Black Eagle placed the Sea God Pearl into his Mount's mouth. Tsunami Master held the pearl in its mouth, nodding repeatedly at Liu Guanfeng, rubbing its head against his leg before turning and running back to its little house.
Both Liu Guanfeng and Black Eagle knew that when Tsunami Master came out again, it would be a Ninth Tier beast. The two exchanged smiles and began discussing martial arts. Black Eagle raised all his questions, and Liu Guanfeng answered them all thoroughly.
Thus, they lived together for three days. Today marked the day of the coronation of the new world's Big Leader, Zhang Diba. Regarding matters on Black Eagle's side, Liu Guanfeng had already reported to Zhang Diba. He informed him that Black Eagle would not surrender but would work with the new world to protect Luo Heng Island's safety. With this assurance, Zhang Diba felt relieved. Although he hadn't subdued Black Eagle, he would still remain on Luo Heng Island and would lend a hand when needed; that was enough.
Early in the morning, Liu Guanfeng had everything ready and went with Black Eagle to the former palace of Severe Winter. By this time, most of the officials from Cui Wenwu had gathered outside the main hall. Shortly after, amidst the sound of drums and gongs, Zhang Diba, dressed in a yellow Dragon Robe and wearing a dragon crown, emerged from the hall accompanied by a group of people.
Following this were a series of formalities, and finally, both Liu Guanfeng and all the officials from Cui Wenwu entered the main hall.
Inside the hall, according to everyone's contributions during this new era, Zhang Diba awarded certain titles. The three individuals—Fang Tianlong, Hong Tao, and Pei Langhai, who were originally vice leaders—were each assigned a city as their lord. Once everyone had received their official titles, Zhang Diba turned his gaze toward Liu Guanfeng, who stood below.
Clearing his throat, Zhang Diba said, "My loyal ministers, today I ascend to the throne; who do you think deserves the greatest credit?"
Stepping forward, Fang Tianlong replied, "Your Majesty, from the early days of our uprising to its success, all our soldiers and generals wore armor and wielded weapons provided by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The cities of Summer, Autumn, and Winter were led by none other than our own Liu Guanfeng President, which minimized our soldiers' casualties. Moreover, during the final battle at Spring City, it was also our esteemed President who personally faced off against Severe Winter, risking his life to defeat him. If you ask me who deserves the greatest credit, it is undoubtedly him—our President from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. No one else’s achievements can compare to his. Don’t you all agree?"
"Yes, yes!"
"If it weren't for Liu President, whether we could conquer Spring City is still a question."
"The contributions of Liu President are unmatched."
...
Zhang Diba sat on the dragon throne, nodding and smiling at Liu Guanfeng, who could only smile wryly and shake his head in resignation.
"Liu Guanfeng, step forward to receive your title."
Liu Guanfeng took two steps to the center.
"Liu Guanfeng, you have made great contributions to this uprising. I hereby appoint you as the One-Character Shoulder King and will build you the finest royal residence in Spring City. What do you think?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but please allow this Commoner to say a few words."
"Speak freely."
"Your Majesty, regarding the titles and rewards you wish to bestow upon this Commoner, I would prefer that you retract them. The reason I came here was not to stay permanently; I was merely following my master's orders to gain experience. Now that I have achieved my goal, I plan to leave once my Mount awakens."
Upon hearing that Liu Guanfeng wanted to leave, the officials below, including Cui Wenwu, stirred in agitation. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a nation but difficult to defend it. Especially since the new world had just been established; if the strongest person were to leave now, how would they respond when the people from Said Island attacked?
Hearing the discussions below, Liu Guanfeng understood: "Your Majesty, this Commoner must leave. However, I have brought someone for Your Majesty. With his help, I believe the new world will certainly enjoy long-lasting peace under your leadership."
"Oh? Who is this person you speak of?" In fact, Zhang Diba already had an idea of whom he was referring to.
"Your Majesty, this person is the former Black Eagle General. Although Black Eagle General is unwilling to hold an official position in court, he has agreed to establish a school and pass on his skills to his disciples. Moreover, he has also consented that if he has outstanding disciples in the future, they will be allowed to serve in the court. Additionally, if there is any danger to Luo Heng Island, he will not hesitate to step forward to protect the safety of its citizens."
Zhang Diba turned his gaze toward Black Eagle, who stood at the back: "Black Eagle General, can you confirm whether what Liu Guanfeng has said is true?"
Black Eagle stepped up to Liu Guanfeng and said, "Your Majesty, Commoner has promised that he will not go back on his word to Liu President. Consider it Commoner's atonement for the people of the entire island."
"Your Majesty, now that Black Eagle General has spoken, you can rest assured. However, Commoner has one more request."
"Speak."
"Commoner hopes that Your Majesty can allocate some of the Gold and Silver awarded to him to Black Eagle General, so that he can establish this sect."
"Have you chosen a location?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, not yet."
Zhang Diba thought for a moment and said, "Since you haven't decided, I have thought of a place. You may consider it. There is a peak named Lifeng Mountain located in the middle of the four cities of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The mountain is a thousand meters high. I wonder if this place would be suitable?"
Black Eagle and Liu Guanfeng exchanged glances, then both bowed to Zhang Diba, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Very well, I will grant Lifeng Mountain to Black Eagle General, allowing you to establish your sect there. Additionally, I will provide funding to help you build the gang."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Since there is nothing else, you may leave. If there are matters to discuss, we can address them during Tomorrow's Morning Court."
After bidding farewell to Zhang Diba, everyone turned to leave the hall. Just as Liu Guanfeng and Black Eagle were departing, they received a message from a Lieutenant, stating that Zhang Diba wanted to see them. Thus, the two followed the Lieutenant to the backyard, where they found Zhang Diba sitting in a pavilion. On the stone table in the center of the pavilion were several types of snacks and tea.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Please take a seat, both of you."
"Your Majesty, Commoner is very grateful for Your Majesty's generosity towards me. Once the gang is established, I will certainly do my utmost to train useful talents for Your Majesty."
Zhang Diba laughed heartily and said, "I still have great faith in Black Eagle General. In the future, we will rely on Black General here on Luo Heng Island."
"Your Majesty, you are being too serious. This is merely the duty of a Commoner," replied Black Eagle.
"I called both of you here today to express my gratitude in person. First, I want to thank Liu Guanfeng for your full support in helping me overthrow the rule of Severe Winter and restoring peace for the people. Second, I want to thank Black Eagle General for putting aside past grievances and willingly contributing to the country. Please allow me, Zhang Diba, to bow to both of you." As Zhang Diba spoke, he bowed to Liu Guanfeng and Black Eagle, who quickly rose to support him.
"Your Majesty, your words are too serious. You are also working hard to ensure that the people can live good lives without having to suffer from wars that tear families apart every year," Liu Guanfeng said while helping Zhang Diba up.
The three of them returned to their seats. "Black Eagle General, have you thought about what to name your gang?" Zhang Diba asked.
"I haven't decided yet. Perhaps I could trouble Your Majesty to help me come up with a name," Black Eagle replied.
"I cannot name it myself; all the ideas for cultivating talent in the country are Liu Guanfeng's. I think it would be better for him to come up with a name," Zhang Diba suggested.
Liu Guanfeng thought for a moment and said, "How about calling it Stellar Radiance?"
"Good, let's call it Stellar Radiance. However, Liu President, if you plan to leave, you must wait until my gang is officially established before you go, since this idea came from you."
Liu Guanfeng considered that it would take some time for him to fully wake up from his thoughts and decided that waiting a little longer was no problem. He nodded and said, "Don't worry; I will wait for you."
