Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

Thank you for your patience, and I’ll do my best to get back on track with the updates. Hope you enjoy today’s chapter!

The grand hall of the Xuzhong Empire’s central palace was brighter than usual.

Sunlight filtered in through the tall crystal windows, casting soft golden patterns across the smooth white marble floor.

Banners of blue and gold hung along the high walls, and at the far end of the room sat a long crescent-shaped table carved from a single slab of spirit jade.

At the center of it all, Huang Xinyi sat quietly on the royal seat, straight-backed, calm, and dressed in deep imperial red trimmed with silver.

The chair wasn’t tall, and the platform it stood on wasn’t raised much above the others.

But no one mistook who held authority here.

The yearly administrative meeting was in full session.

Dozens of ministers, generals, scholars, and regional officials stood in neat formation below the main platform, each taking turns to report, confirm, request, or revise the progress of their assigned regions.

And this year, the meeting felt different.

More tense.

More important.

Because for the first time since the formation of the restructured empire after the system merge, something incredible had happened.

Voidbreak cultivators.

Not rumors. Not half-step bottlenecks.

Real, confirmed breakthroughs into the Voidbreak realm—within the empire’s borders, inside its very own cultivation institutions.

It was a historic shift.

The kind of shift that only happens once in a generation.

And Huang Xinyi felt it in every breath of the room.

A minister stepped forward now, robes rustling softly.

“Your Majesty,” he said, bowing deeply. “The Central Southern Region has confirmed two successful Voidbreak realm advancements.

All of them came from the National Cultivation Academy’s top-tier experimental cohort.”

Another elder beside him added, “They were monitored throughout. No external aid. No bloodline transfers. No Xu family input. Fully homegrown.”

The words echoed in the hall.

Homegrown.

That was the point.

Because while the Xu family was the undisputed powerhouse of the continent and even the world, it had long been a quiet worry that no one else could keep up without their help.

But this? This was proof that humanity was advancing, even without direct support.

Huang Xinyi nodded slightly, her voice steady. “Their names?”

“They’ve been submitted in the formal record. I can deliver the sealed list after the meeting.”

“Good,” she said.

Another representative, this one dressed in the black-and-gold robes of the National University, stepped forward next.

She was younger than most of the ministers, no older than her late twenties, but the way she stood and bowed was practiced and confident.

“Your Majesty,” she began, “I come bearing confirmation of the university’s new rank.”

Huang Xinyi looked up. “Go on.”

“The National University is now officially recognized as a ‘Holy Land of Knowledge’ by the Continental Educators Assembly.

As of last week, we have gathered and preserved every known public domain manual, historical text, tactical scroll, and cultivation theory treatise.

We’ve even acquired several high-grade manuscripts previously kept in sealed archives by neutral sects and borderland families.”

There was a murmur from the crowd.

One of the elders asked, “Did the Xu family assist?”

The woman shook her head. “No, Elder. We did this on our own.”

The silence that followed was long, but not hostile.

Just quiet, but there was a positive air.

The woman continued, “We’ve secured voluntary deposits from over seventy-three major sects, including the Redscale Peak, the Eight Gates Alliance, and even the Sevenfold Valley scholars.

Our curriculum has been expanded to include international law, ancient weapon theory, spiritual economics, monster diplomacy, and advanced formation crafting.”

“And the vaults?” Huang Xinyi asked.

“Triple-sealed, each overseen by joint rotation from three sects at a time. And we’ve already implemented neutral observers from the empire’s civilian oversight office.”

Huang Xinyi gave a small smile. “Well done.”

The representative bowed again, eyes shining just slightly.

Another report from the military command confirmed that beast faction activity had dropped significantly along the Western border.

Others gave updates on city reconstructions, refugee resettlements, spiritual crop recovery, and expansion of defensive walls around smaller inner towns.

Everything was moving.

Some slow.

Some fast.

But overall?

The empire was stable.

More than that, it was growing.

And Huang Xinyi could feel it.

As the reports continued, her eyes moved toward the side table near the throne. A small stack of sealed scrolls rested there, all marked with the royal family’s inner seal. Casualty reports. Funding breakdowns. Policy drafts.

But she hasn’t reached for them yet.

She already knew what they said.

Instead, her thoughts lingered on Xu Qianghua.

He hadn’t been here.

He hadn’t needed to be.

And although she missed him already, but…. it was better that way.

Let him rest.

Let him breathe.

Because even though the world admired him, loved and even feared him a bit, she knew the burden he carried better than most.

He wasn’t just a strategist.

He wasn’t just a powerhouse or a name whispered in meetings like this.

He was the one who had made sure there would even be a future to build upon.

And now that the worst of the opening waves were over?

It was her job to take that foundation and build something real with it.

As the last speaker stepped back, the room quieted again.

Huang Xinyi stood, her voice firm but even.

“You’ve all done well,” she said.

Her gaze swept the room. “This meeting marks a turning point. We’ve survived the initial assaults.

We’ve built institutions. We’ve begun to raise a generation strong enough to defend itself.”

Her eyes settled on the younger university representative again. “And most importantly, we’re proving that strength doesn’t have to come from one family alone.”

“But,” she added, “that doesn’t mean we forget who got us here.”

There was no applause.

Only solemn nods.
