"Your subject obeys."

Zhu Xian watched as the projection dissipated.

"Greetings, Empress!"

"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"

The powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty all submitted, and Zhu Xian rightfully seized imperial power in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Prince of Zhenbei was utterly desperate. With Qin Luo in his possession, even if the edict was fake, no one would dare to question it. With Qin Luo supporting Zhu Xian, it was better than a thousand troops.

"Uncle, return to your Yanbei City. From now on, without my orders, anyone who steps out of Yanbei City will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Prince of Zhenbei could only leave in a sorry state, never expecting that his long journey of thousands of miles would end like this.

"Just as I expected." Wang Chongming stood at a distance. He had guessed this would be the outcome. The moment the Prince of Zhenbei lost his luck, it proved that he was not destined for the throne.

Qin Luo appeared before the Imperial Advisor.

The Imperial Preceptor possesses the laws of space; even light cannot approach him.

"You want me to stay?"

"You always have to pay a price."

Qin Luo drew the Chengtian Sword and cleaved the space in front of the Grand Preceptor with a single strike, cutting through his black robe.

"Don't forget the people in the city."

The Grand Preceptor's body was engulfed by the sword light, only his black robe remained standing. Qin Luo touched the black robe and absorbed the spatial principles within it.

"The Imperial Advisor is dead?"

Zhu Xian watched as the Imperial Advisor disappeared.

"Maybe."

Qin Luo couldn't be sure; the Imperial Advisor was extremely cautious, and the Imperial Advisor from just now might have been an avatar.

The Grand Preceptor reminded him not to forget the people in the city. Qin Luo suddenly realized that the people in the city had always been in the capital, but the Grand Preceptor had hidden them.

Zhu Xian looked at the ruins of the capital city and knew that rebuilding it would require a lot of time and resources.

Qin Luo arrived on the streets of the capital. He used time reversal, and the collapsed houses were restored at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhu Xian was astonished to see the capital restored to its original state.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Luo activated the spatial laws, and all the missing people returned to their houses, restoring life to the capital.

Even those powerful figures killed by the Heavenly Dao were resurrected by Qin Luo. Lu Ming and the others looked on with doubt, and even Chao Xiu, who was shattered to pieces, stood outside the academy.

A ray of morning sun fell on Qin Luo's shoulder, his white hair fluttering in the wind—the price he paid for overusing the laws of time. The streets were bustling with more and more people, but they didn't notice Qin Luo, as if nothing had happened.
