"sorry!"
Quan Ji's apology, carried by the winds of the Holy Glory Empire, reached every corner of the empire, gently stirring the hearts of every citizen.
Carrying the rain of the Holy Empire, it dripped into every ravine of the empire, slowly seeping into the blood of every citizen.
At that moment, an indescribable emotion welled up in the people. Tears welled up in their eyes, and they choked up, as if a thousand words were stuck in their mouths, unable to be expressed no matter what.
They wanted to say: Miss... you don't need to apologize!
However, this sentiment must not be heard by the young lady.
Everyone remained silent for a few minutes, gazing up at the sky, where they could only hear the howling of the wind and rain.
Until Princess Quan spoke again:
“It’s because I was too comprehensive that I harmed you and caused you to lose the autonomy you should have had.”
"It was my overconfidence that harmed you, making you overly dependent on me."
"This disaster was merely a natural calamity; it's impossible for such enormous losses to occur... The greater responsibility lies with the native people of our Holy Glory Empire!"
“Natural disasters and calamities occur every year and everywhere. Other empires can all withstand them... but our Holy Glory Empire, without me, is like a group of dragons without a leader, completely helpless.”
“It’s all my fault…it’s my negligence that deprived you of the ability to train.”
"From this moment forward, all people of the Holy Glory Empire shall heed my command, devote all their efforts to disaster relief and combating the disaster, and unite as one in the light of the Holy Glory!"
Soon, Quan Ji saw the people of Fengyuan City coming out of their houses, letting the torrential rain lash their faces.
They faced Quan Ji, their expressions solemn and moved, their hands clasped tightly in a fist, bowing towards the city lord's mansion as a subject's salute!
Almost simultaneously, everyone burst forth with their wishes:
"I am willing to fight the disaster alongside Miss, and I am willing to share the responsibility with Miss!"
The sound was deafening, even louder than thunder, making one's heart race uncontrollably and one's pulse pound rapidly.
Quan Ji's eyes reddened—this was the kind of people of the Holy Glory Empire she wanted to see, not a bunch of helpless, perpetually immature beasts!
Immediately afterwards, sounds came from all over the Holy Glory Empire.
"We have done nothing wrong! There is no end to the road! We implore you, young lady, to give us a chance to reform!"
Hearing this, Quan Ji suppressed her excitement and smiled slightly, saying, "Good!"
The voice came again, expressing gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss!"
"Please issue the decree, Miss: the people of the Holy Glory Empire are willing to follow you in fighting against the natural disaster!"
"The Holy Light will never be extinguished from its source!"
In that instant, in every corner of the Holy Glory Empire, and for every person, it was as if a flame had been quietly planted in their heart.
Quan Ji smiled, then her voice became steady as she slowly and methodically began to give instructions:
"From now on, every able-bodied adult should use the most efficient method to dig a new channel at the river mouth to divert the Holy Water River. All city lords should open their granaries and determine the daily food supply based on their own circumstances, striving to ensure that everyone can survive for three days! There's no need to worry about food supplies; I will mobilize the Fire Yi and Clear Spring regions to provide aid!"
"Injured patients may seek treatment at the clinic. If any doctor refuses, it will be considered treason! Similarly... if a patient mistreats a doctor, the local government and military can punish the patient for treason after investigation! All medical supplies will be provided by me!"
"The people of Moonflower City must quickly evacuate and split into teams to go to different surrounding cities. The city lords must work together and there must be no negligence!"
"In the midst of a disaster, if someone dies of illness, their family members must immediately dispose of the body to prevent it from turning into a corpse and triggering a plague, thus worsening the disaster!"
"To the troops of all cities, I ask you to work hard during this period to strengthen security and protection. Any rioters who engage in arson, murder, looting, or other violent acts should be shot on the spot. Also... regularly retrieve bodies from the flooded cities, giving the dead a place to rest in peace!"
"Central officials of Holy Light City, convene a national conference immediately upon my return to Holy Light City!"
"People of Holy Glory, are you ready? This is the first all-encompassing challenge we've faced together!"
Quan Ji's voice echoed in everyone's ears in an orderly manner, her voice strong and clear, seemingly carrying a trustworthy power.
The people of Shengyao all stood at attention, seemingly in agreement, and bowed in the direction of the young lady.
"Holy people, heed my command! We will unite with the young lady to conquer the natural disasters!"
"Holy people, heed my command! We will unite with the young lady to conquer the natural disasters!"
"Holy people, heed my command! We will unite with the young lady to conquer the natural disasters!"
Layer upon layer of sounds, near and far, all entered Quan Ji's ears clearly, making her blood boil with excitement.
She said, "Then, now, open the granaries, with local officials overseeing and directing the operation!"
As they spoke, the people of the Holy Glory Empire began to get busy.
The people throughout the land of Shengyao were all like they'd been injected with adrenaline, possessing inexhaustible energy.
The local officials of Shengyao also began to take command, strictly following the methods that Quan Ji had just described, to unite the people's strength.
When power is concentrated enough to encompass everything, natural disasters? They're just a joke, a little test.
Quan Ji's gaze fell on Zhao Li.
Zhao Li stared at her intently, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.
His pupils trembled, and he was incredibly excited.
This is their young lady.
Their all-powerful young lady!
She was like a guiding light sent down by the gods, for it was because of her that the Holy Empire began to have direction!
"Young Miss is wise!"
Quan Ji glanced at him and said, "There's no need for unnecessary formalities at this time. Now, how you get started is the test for you."
"My Holy Glory Empire does not support idlers. Officials... are given to capable individuals as an opportunity to protect the people alongside me!"
Zhao Li was filled with excitement and replied, "Yes!"
He immediately ordered the guards of the city lord's mansion standing nearby: "Open the granaries immediately to help the people. Let Master Jiang calculate the grain needs and gather all the cooks in Fengyuan City to do their part for disaster relief in Fengyuan City."
"Organize several militia teams, supply them, and have some superhumans work together to clear the river channels and divert the flow!"
...
Zhao Li immediately made arrangements with a clear mind. Although there were some minor flaws, they were not fatal, and Quan Ji did not want to interfere—even if these flaws would cause some minor problems.
This time, she must begin to try to let go and allow the officials and people of her Holy Empire to work together to fight against this war against the natural disaster.
Ultimately, they will have to experience the consequences for themselves.
She only needs to play her assigned role and act as the core conveyor.
However, problems soon arose.
A soldier scrambled up to the front, shouting, "Report! Something terrible has happened!"
