Excellent job, IIpsir; that was a fulfilling clarification. Quickly implement it and also establish the currency system for the species; currently, I believe our species is utilizing a barter system for goods exchange, correct?
"Indeed, your highness." said in a slightly surprised tone, as sun was not informed about these matters but then also he has guessed it right.
"As expected, although it may be doable now, it is not sustainable for the future.
For this we should either issue the paper note bill backed by a government bank established under the Ember Treasury or opt for the traditional method of currency exchange by shaping gold and silver into coins."
"Thank you for your guidance, your highness. I will devise a plan accordingly." IIpsir bows slightly forward to greet his leave and positioned himself to the side, making space for Paryx to present his report.
Moving forward with determination, the paryx began to address the audience.
"My lord, as a guardian role bestowed upon me since my birth, I established the Guardian clan. Currently, my lord, the clan is in the mid- stage of formation, but I can guarantee that within a few months, we will be operating at full capacity."
Sun nodded and inquired, "Can you elaborate further on that?" with hint of curiosity in his voice.
Upon hearing it, Paryx promptly began speaking.
"Surely my lord.
The Guardian Clan will have a strong hierarchy with a precise chain of command that guarantees each member will understands their position and responsibilities.
The first in command will be The Original Guardian, the leader.
Following this will be the top commander and fighters, referred to as the "sentinels," who will lead different military branches within the guardian clan. Every Sentinel leads a team of "Wardens," the main fighters and leaders, who pass on instructions to the lower members of the clan, tasked with executing military missions and protecting the borders.
The Guardian Clan will adhere to a rigid honor code that highlights loyalty, courage, and safeguarding the vulnerable. Each chosen individual will receive training in combat, starting from the age of 8, focusing on self-discipline and self-restraint. At the age of 12, as part of their coming-of-age ceremony, they will take part in a significant tradition called the "Rite of the Blade," where a young warriors would be showcasing their skills by creating their own weapon and facing various challenges. Later on, as the warriors advance in their positions, they will be given distinctive marks and titles as they progress through the ranks."
Upon hearing that, the sun exclaimed joyfully.
"Great job, great!!! That army model structure was excellent." Paused briefly to contemplate something.
"Paryx, did you consider solving the understaffed worker issue by involving the local population, such as tribal people from this continent?"
Upon hearing that, Paryx swiftly responds, as if anticipating this question.
"Yes my lord we had, but while journeying around the world, we had also attempted to convince the members of a native tribe to come with us. However, they remained steadfast in their belief and refused to accept us, a foreign entity as their ruler."
A short silence descended upon the hall.
"I understand." The sun spoke first, breaking the silence, and then asked a question in a calm tone.
"So Paryx, based on your perspective, what actions do you recommend we should take?"
"My lord, I believe we should use military force to eliminate the entire tribe if they do not cooperate with us.
My lord, Individually, these tribal peoples do not pose much of a danger to us. However, when combined, they present a significant threat to the safety of our species especially the general public."
Paryx spoke in a resolute manner, emphasizing his intent to wipe out all local tribes on a continental scale, potentially numbering in the hundreds of millions, and despite it sounding as outreach statement, Paryx has all the capabilities to back his statement.
But right away, IIpsir intervened and spoke up.
"No, Your Highness, even though they are insects and worthy of death, I recommend we approach this situation differently and give it another attempt. Committing such mass murder will tarnishes your sacred name.
Your highness, I urge you, please think about it again."
Upon hearing that and considering IIpsir statement, the sun speak in a tone that is both weighty and regal.
"I received the options from both the administrative palace and the guardian clan representative, IIpsir and Paryx, respectively.
Following the advice of the prime administrator, I have chosen not to engage in any military operations currently to prevent any harm befalling on innocent civilians. We will attempt to overcome them using a different method: through trust and through faith but if nessecary, i will not back down on using force upon them." declared sun, releasing his aura pressure, as if to declaring his subjects that his words are not empty threats. After a brief silence, sun speak again.
"Therefore, I hereby announce the establishment of the main branch of Helios temple in the sacred land of dragevil and the capital city of dragevil, VAHI."
Both paryx and IIpsir bow down hearing the sun's declaration.
Afterward, the meeting proceeds without any issues, but then the next significant obstacle comes up before the Sun, which is to quickly assimilate the general population into Dragevil by transforming them.
It was observed that noble dragevils could change a person into a dragevil by infusing their true life essence into the individual's body. Typically, this involves mixing the essence into one's bodily fluids to reduce the strain on the donor. However, this was not the case for Sun, who could effortlessly transform anyone with a simple wave of his hand thanks to his species progenitor status.
"Your majesty, our population is growing at rapid pace, which now stands at seven hundred thousand individuals, despite our efforts to reduce procreation rate and restrict the use of the creator realm for the only purpose of training, so it's high time we should integrate the existing population into dragevil." llpsir spoke with a sense of urgency in his voice.
The sun pondered deeply as he listened to it.
Following some minutes of intense thinking, Sun posed a query to IIpsir.
"What is the capacity of the 2nd sky in terms of number of people it can hold?"
"Your majesty, the amount would range from 40 to 50 thousand."
"Then we will conduct the Transformation ceremony on the 2nd sky*, and the second sky as of now will be known as Ascension Isle, and in the future it will also serve as a place where one could change their species into dragevils."
Immediately after the brief pause, Sun again spoke.
"I am planning to give this responsibility of managing the transformation ceremony to Helios temple, but we don't have any personnel to lead the temple. So do you all has any person in your observation?"
Upon hearing that, both IIsir and paryx quickly chose a name of one individual.
"It must be Anevos, sire."
"Anevos is the most fitting choice, your majesty."
Sun was surprised to hear the same name from both of his most trusted individuals.
Shortly thereafter, the sun uttered words.
"If you are both recommending this Anevos person, he must be outstanding, but explain me why?"
IIpsir stepped up and answered Sun's inquiry with a confident and enthusiastic look on his face.
"Your highness, in short, he is a fervent follower and devotee, basically a fanatic to the Savior of countless humans, the creator of one of the most formidable species ever one has witnessed, and the singular deity we worship, Sun Dragevil."

After discussing with his advisors IIpsir, Sun has summoned anevos, and responding to the summons, the servants were sent to relay the orders.
A few moments later, Anevos came to the throne hall.
One would describe anveos as follows:
Anevous is an elderly man in his 70s, with wrinkled, sagging skin and wisps of white hair. He appears frail and weak, with slow, unsteady movements and a skeletal frame—nothing special in any angle to receive praise simentiously from the 2 pillars.
However, despite all that, the vigor, wisdom, and experience that his eyes show in contrast with his physical appearance cannot be left out, as they seem to hold his true spirit, still burning brightly despite his fading body. Despite his frailty, the intensity of his gaze reveals an inner strength that time cannot diminish. Anevous may seem weak, but his powerful eyes suggest a depth and resilience that defy his outward appearance.
Suddenly, Anveous fell to his knees, and tears started to roll out of his eyes, leaving everybody confused.
"O lord!! O lord!! You finally showed yourself to me. You finally showed yourself to me, the one true God for whom I have been desperately searching for my whole life, the god whom I want to serve. Such a grace, such wisdom, such an aura. No doubt you are the god whom all living beings must bow to; please, o Lord, please, take me in your embrace."
Said all that, and he knocked down his body and started to feverishly chanting the sun's names.
Sun, listening to all that, understands why IIpsir has labeled him as a fanatic.
"GET UP, ANEVOUS," a deep regal voice revibrated throughout the hall, enchanted with the sun's mana.
Hearing that, with much difficulty he got up.
"Anevous if you want to bath in my light, you have to prove yourself. Will you able to do it?"
"My lord, even if you want to give me my heart, I will give you gladly." Said with a weak bow yet in a determined tone.
"Then give it to me." Said coldly without showing even a sherd of emotions towards this old man, and at the same time, the sun signals something to Paryx.
Understanding the sun's order, Paryx moves toward Anevous and handed him a hand knife.
Previously confused Anevous, after seeing the knift, understands what the sun's sentence means.
Without any delay, he took the knife from the paryx's hands and purge straight in his mid-chest, creating a straight vertical cut.
Blood started to ooze out of his chest as it cut deep into his muscles and bones but carefully not damaging his heart.
Anevous, despite being grunting due to an almost unbearable amount of pain, surprisingly he didn't pass out despite his body being so fraile, but what he did next was even shocked the cold-blooded IIpsir.
In a state of spiritual euphoria, he plunges his fingers deep into the wound, rips open his chest, and reaches in to remove his heart from his body while speaking his final words before falling to his knees.
"L-long li-ive D-Drag-gevil."
