Later, this dynasty was renamed the Holy Sky Dynasty. Although the character "圣" (holy) remained unchanged, the character "琼" (jade) was changed to "穹" (sky).

Mo Beichen continued to explain that the Second Continent was originally just a place scattered with small countries.

However, as time went on, the Saint Family and the Qiong Family gradually rose to prominence and became powerful aristocratic clans.

The heads of these two families shared a deep bond. Weary of endless strife, they decided to work together to unify the entire Second Continent. It is no exaggeration to say that it was thanks to the efforts of the Holy Family and the Qiong Family that the Second Continent was created as it is today.

"Oh, I see. After they unified the continent, they created a dynasty named after the two families, called the Holy Qiong Dynasty. So why was it renamed later? Did one of the families change their minds?"

Mo Beichen played with Yun Qingluo's delicate skin, then placed a kiss on her forehead with admiration, "My Luoluo is so smart."

"Hey, speak properly, you're being serious, don't get physical."

"Yes, I will answer all your questions, my wife." Mo Beichen chuckled and continued.

"Initially, neither family was interested in becoming emperor, as they had struggled along the way and experienced the hardships involved. I heard that they discussed it for more than half a year before reaching an agreement that each family would take turns being emperor for a hundred years, in order to avoid dictatorship and tyranny destroying the original intention of unifying the continent. Since the beginning of the world, they have lived in peace."

Both families were highly competitive and worked diligently to become good emperors. As a result, the people lived in peace and the dynasty prospered. In particular, two hundred years ago, there was a faint trend of them surpassing the First Continent.

Later, when the Qiong Dynasty came to power, seeing how strong and prosperous the dynasty had become, with its full treasury and powerful army, it became somewhat arrogant. Not only did it oppose the First Continent, but it also neglected state affairs and only knew how to enjoy itself. Its family, relying on imperial power, acted tyrannically, bullied men and women, imposed heavy taxes, forcibly conscripted laborers, and plundered land, causing the people to suffer.

The Holy Family had been advising them for a century, but the Qiong Family not only ignored their advice but also falsely accused the Holy Family of crimes, attempting to exterminate them. Forced into a corner, the Holy Family, out of consideration for their past relationship, endured until a century later, hoping to restrain the Qiong Dynasty once they came to power.

However, a century later, the Qiong Dynasty wanted to continue to hold power, refused to acknowledge the original agreement, and was unwilling to abdicate.

Faced with this situation, the Holy Dynasty was quite capable. It used some clever tactics and, by conforming to public opinion, forced the Qiong family to step down and successfully took power.

After taking power, the Holy Dynasty immediately revised the laws and regulations, reduced taxes, modified the service policy, cut unnecessary financial expenditures, remeasured the land and returned it to the people, promoted the poor and suppressed the hereditary nobles, and made good use of people. It took nearly a hundred years of hard work by three generations to make the dynasty prosperous again and the people's lives gradually improved.

Throughout the century of the Holy Dynasty's rule, the Qiong family never ceased their rebellions. However, out of consideration for the promise made by their founding ancestor, the Holy family never pursued the matter to the death, but instead granted them honorable status.

However, having grown accustomed to the power of the pyramids, they were unwilling to be subservient to others, so the Joan dynasty never ceased its conquests of the Holy Dynasty.

"And then what happened?" Yun Qingluo asked, her interest piqued.

"In the end, they completely angered the Holy Dynasty. When the hundred-year term expired, instead of returning the throne to the Qiong Dynasty, they changed the name of the dynasty to the Holy Sky Dynasty and announced to the whole continent that the Qiong family would never have the possibility of becoming emperors again, and banished them to the edge of a continent."

"So there were so many twists and turns inside. In that case, the Holy Family is truly concerned for the people and follows their will. They're quite a decent royal family. Although you can't judge a book by its cover, once we have the chance, we'll experience life on the Second Continent and then we'll know whether the ruler of the Holy Family is truly a wise monarch." Yun Qingluo sighed, somewhat moved.

Xiao Yi also listened to the entire history of the dynasty in the system in a rare quiet moment. "Actually, it's definitely more exciting than what your partner told. When I have the chance in the future, I must go to the Second Continent, find a small teahouse, and listen to the storyteller tell me the history of the Holy Sky Dynasty."

Yun Qingluo chuckled, "Xiao Yi, you're becoming more and more like me. That's what I think too."

Xiao Yi snorted, "Stop being so conceited, I'm much better than you."

Mo Beichen nodded, "If Luo Luo wants to go to the Holy Sky Dynasty, we'll go back to resolve the matters on the Sumeru Continent after the Xuan Cang Continent is settled. Once that's done, we'll go to the Second Continent, taking the child, my parents-in-law, and my two brothers with us. With that plane, going anywhere won't be a problem."

Yun Qingluo chuckled, "Taking both children with you? What about governing the country then?"

Mo Beichen was in a dilemma. He was reluctant to leave Zeyan to handle state affairs, but if he took Zeyan with him, he would have to stay, which was not an option.

“It wouldn’t be a problem to have the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor help oversee the country for a while,” Mo Beichen suddenly remembered the two people and said to Yun Qingluo with a smile.

Yun Qinglu glared at him, "Whose empire is this anyway?"

Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow. "The imperial court selects officials so that they can help the emperor handle state affairs. Otherwise, why would we support them to do nothing?"

Xiao Yi agreed, saying, "Yeah, that makes sense. On this point, I side with your man."

The clouds slanted down, "Get out of here!"

"Okay." Little Yi walked away slunk away.

Yun Qingluo let out a breath and sighed, "Achen, after hearing your story, I have a strong feeling that we've gotten ourselves into trouble. That prince is still thinking about vying for the throne, so he must be dreaming of living to a ripe old age. It seems he's determined to capture me."
