As the night deepened, Wang Jian found himself in the inner chambers of the palace, surrounded by the opulence and beauty that he had cultivated within the Everlasting Mystical Empire.
Empress Su Xian, with her raven-black hair and warm brown eyes, sat across from him.
She wore an expression of both relief and concern.
"My beloved, there are matters of great concern that require your immediate attention."
Wang Jian, laying on his comfortable bed, nodded, his gaze fixed on the empress. "Tell me, Su Xian, what troubles have arisen in my absence?"
Su Xian's expression turned serious as she began to list the pressing issues. "First, as the leader of the coalition of Empires in the Southern Region, we bear the responsibility of deciding how to address the threats posed by the other races, namely the Barbarian Race and the Sea Monsters."
