Chapter 225: Chapter 195 - Determining Strategies, Inviting the World to Battle, Ghost Emperor's Decision (5.2K Request for Subscription, Request for Monthly Ticket) Part 2

It's important to understand that in this world, even the control of the Great Ming Empire is not sufficient to extend its reach to the lowest level.
