The grand hall of the Royal Palace shimmered with gold and crimson as nobles, sect leaders, and emissaries gathered to witness the coronation of the youngest king in the kingdom's history. At the center of it all stood Tian Yu, clad in black robes embroidered with a golden dragon. His youthful face bore an expression of solemn determination, the weight of the crown pressing heavily upon him.
As the royal seal was placed upon his brow, a strange vision flickered in Tian Yu's mind.
In that moment, the Eternal Sovereign System revealed a piece of forgotten history. The Black Dragon Royal Family, once known as the Xuanyuan Clan, originated from another world. Their ancestors had ruled a powerful empire in a higher realm but were exiled to this world after a catastrophic betrayal.
The realization stunned Tian Yu, but it also filled him with resolve. "If my ancestors fell to betrayal, I shall rise above it," he thought. "The Black Dragon shall soar again."
After the coronation, Tian Yu wasted no time enacting sweeping reforms. Summoning his court, he stood before the assembled lords and ministers, his voice steady but commanding.
"The Kingdom is weak not because of its people but because of its fractured leadership. From this day forward, the chaos ends."
The Six Cabinets
Tian Yu announced the formation of six new cabinets, each tasked with managing a vital aspect of the kingdom:
1.The Cabinet of War: Overseeing the military and defense of the realm.
2.The Cabinet of Trade: Managing commerce and the economy.
3.The Cabinet of Law: Responsible for justice and maintaining order.
4.The Cabinet of Intelligence: Directing espionage and information gathering.
5.The Cabinet of Cultivation: Supporting the growth of cultivators loyal to the crown.
6.The Cabinet of Resources: Handling agriculture, mining, and other resources.
Each cabinet was staffed by loyalists selected from the Shadow Lotus Information Agency and trusted members of the Yunxiao Commerce Guild.
Chapter 5: The Coronation of the Boy King
The grand hall of the Yunxiao Palace shimmered with gold and crimson as nobles, sect leaders, and emissaries gathered to witness the coronation of the youngest king in the kingdom's history. At the center of it all stood Tian Yu, clad in black robes embroidered with a golden dragon. His youthful face bore an expression of solemn determination, the weight of the crown pressing heavily upon him.
As the royal seal was placed upon his brow, a strange vision flickered in Tian Yu's mind.
The Hidden Legacy of the Black Dragon

Policies of Renewal
After the coronation, Tian Yu wasted no time enacting sweeping reforms. Summoning his court, he stood before the assembled lords and ministers, his voice steady but commanding.
"The Yunxiao Kingdom is weak not because of its people but because of its fractured leadership. From this day forward, the chaos ends."
The Six Cabinets

The Cabinet of War: Overseeing the military and defense of the realm.The Cabinet of Trade: Managing commerce and the economy.The Cabinet of Law: Responsible for justice and maintaining order.The Cabinet of Intelligence: Directing espionage and information gathering.The Cabinet of Cultivation: Supporting the growth of cultivators loyal to the crown.The Cabinet of Resources: Handling agriculture, mining, and other resources.
Each cabinet was staffed by loyalists selected from the Shadow Lotus Information Agency and trusted members of the Yunxiao Commerce Guild.
Tian Yu's boldest move came with the banning of private armies and sects within imperial territory. The decree was met with outrage from the nobles and sect leaders. Some openly defied the order, while others plotted in secret.
"The imperial army will serve as the kingdom's sole protector," Tian Yu declared. "Any force that dares challenge this decree will face annihilation."
When the Crimson Blade Sect and three noble houses refused to disband their forces, Tian Yu acted swiftly.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned four Nascent Soul generals, each a fearsome warrior loyal to him alone. These generals led four newly formed standing armies, named after the elements of fire, water, earth, and wind. The Black Dragon Army, commanded by Tian Yu himself, became the central force of the kingdom.
The rebel forces were crushed in a series of decisive campaigns. The surviving sect disciples were absorbed into the Cabinet of Cultivation, while the nobles' private soldiers were incorporated into the imperial army.
To further strengthen the kingdom, Tian Yu purchased a divine-level artifact through the Eternal Sovereign System. The artifact, a towering black cauldron engraved with intricate runes, possessed the miraculous ability to refine pills automatically. All one needed was to place herbs in the appropriate compartment, and the artifact would produce pills based on recipes inscribed on its walls.
The introduction of the artifact revolutionized alchemy within the The black dragon Kingdom. Pills that enhanced cultivation, healed injuries, and strengthened warriors were now readily available to the imperial army and the populace.
By the end of the year, the Black Dragon Kingdom was unrecognizable. The court was revitalized, the military was unified, and the economy was flourishing under the guidance of the new cabinets. The Boy King, once mocked as a weakling, now commanded the loyalty and fear of an entire kingdom.
Standing on the palace balcony, Tian Yu gazed out at the capital, his golden eyes reflecting the light of the setting sun.
"Father, you left me a broken kingdom. Watch as I forge it into an empire."
