The ascension of a new emperor was naturally no small matter It was especially so when the new emperor had shown himself to be different from the previous ruler before he even ascended the throne He was kind to foreign countries and illing to for the previous dynasty, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor liked tocountries He would press the other big countries against the ground to beat them and seize their territories Either that or he would force the other side to submit to him and offer tribute; he was truly rampant

Before Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had mobilized his army to enter Great Ruins, that hen Eternal Peace Eainst five big countries at the saot injured by assassins, the momentum of Eternal Peace Empire expansion started to slon

The new emperor, however, was cultured and refined, very polite and treated all sects of Eternal Peace kindly He was also courteous to the envoys of the foreign countries Not only did he return the lands that the fiendish Imperial Preceptor had conquered back to their respective owners, but even pro to repair the relations with those countries

The rule of foreign countries having to submit to Eternal Peace was also abolished by the new emperor, so they were all very happy and praised hi Yuxia was a wise ruler that was rare to see in the past one thousand and five hundred years

Other than that, the new emperor that had yet to ascend the throne invited members of various sects to attend the ascension cere that the new emperor planned to write down a decree of his crimes and would take on the wrath of Heaven for the past years of reforiveness from Heaven and pray it would punish him and let off the people of Eternal Peace Empire
