"It's a good thing, as it is. We are steadily gaining our footing, and the conflicts between Shengtian and Qingmu in the Everlasting Empire within each separate region are beneficial for us. Look, Your Majesty, after their defeat in Dongchu forbidden territory, they retreated and occupied a region to the right of Great Wu. Meanwhile, various powers are fighting each other all across that region."
Lu Qianfu analyzes the situation.
"After two Xuan-Gods died in the Dongchu Forbidden Area, they dare not act recklessly anymore. None of the smaller powers pose a threat to us."
The Celestial God Tianhong speaks.
"We've entered a relatively calm period at present. What our generals need to do now is further fortify Windfall City and transfer gathered resources to the national treasury."
Chu Yuan nods, currently in a stable situation, and asks, "How is the recruitment of powerful individuals in our nation progressing?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty."
