Chapter 1460: 973 Jiang Hao, breakthrough

"The Divine Dao and the Imperial Dao are inherently one and the same, both part of the Human Path, both the way of all beings. Their union forms the Divine Dynasty and the Heaven Court."

As a forefather of the Divine Dao, Jiang Chen instantly discerned the essence of the Imperial Dao and the Divine Dao, realizing that the end of this path evolves into the most perfect Heaven Court, one that enshrines deities and commands Heaven and Earth.

Without Jiang Chen’s intervention, the Fate and Willpower from the millions of people across the Nine States spontaneously converged before him, swiftly transforming.

National fortune is different from that of the Human Race. To be precise, national fortune is a part of the Human Race’s Fate. The Human Race has only one collective Fate, but there can be many national fortunes.

The Fate of all members of the Human Race, when pooled together, is the racial fortune. In contrast, national fortune is the collective product of all citizens within a country.

Among the Nine States, the Fate and Willpower of the citizens who recognized Jiang Chen gathered and became the national fortune taking shape before his eyes.

"After all, I am only a Human King, not a Human King in the truest sense. Otherwise, what would have formed here was not national fortune, but an inherited flame, augmented by racial fortune."

The formation of this national fortune constantly reminded Jiang Chen that his efforts were still insufficient. Many of the Human Race had yet to acknowledge him; hence he was gathering national fortune, not racial fortune.

The day when he gains the recognition of all clan members, transforming national fortune into racial fortune, he will be coronated as an emperor, becoming the ninth revered Human Emperor of the Human Race.

As national fortune coalesced, more and more Willpower and Fate surged, intertwining above the skies of Luoyang, transforming into a dazzling expanse of golden clouds.

Majestic dragon roars resounded, and within those golden clouds, six awe-inspiring True Dragons appeared, their scales shimmering in purple gold, exuding an elegance and grandeur that shook the hearts of all.

The six Purple Gold Divine Dragons were all nine-clawed ancestral dragons!

This was also the symbol of Jiang Chen’s status as a Human King. A Human King commands six dragons, whereas a Human Emperor commands nine. As a Human King, Jiang Chen could naturally only command six dragons.

Similarly, these six nine-clawed ancestral dragons, along with the golden clouds filling the sky, represented the national fortune of the new dynasty. However, this national fortune seemed somewhat unstable.

Indeed, it was not stable; the dynasty’s name had not yet been established, the new dynasty could not truly be said to have been established; Fate was naturally unstable until the dynasty’s name was established, and everything would then be set on the right track.

"A complete Quasi-Saint, huh?"

"When the power of a Human Emperor is at its strongest, like during the reign of the Three Sovereigns, their might is strong enough to equal that of Saints."

"Under the rule of the Five Emperors, the strength was somewhat weaker, surpassing many Great Divine Transcendents, yet insufficient to contend with Saints."

"The strength of a Human King, in comparison to a Human Emperor, is lesser, with the weakest Human King only able to contend with Quasi-Saints at the initial stages of power."

"The strongest Human King, like King Yu, was as mighty as the Five Emperors. None of the Great Divine Transcendents in Heaven and Earth dared to contend with him."

"Now that I have become a Human King, although it has been some years, my Foundation is ultimately incomparable to King Yu. Even with all Fate combined, I can only contend with the mightiest of Quasi-Saints at the peak of their strength."

"Nevertheless, even so, among all Human Kings in history, my combat strength can be ranked within the top three."

After sensing the strength of the national fortune, Jiang Chen had a clear understanding; now with this national fortune alone, he could unleash power comparable to a complete Quasi-Saint, nearly reaching the limit of a Human King.

Any stronger, like King Yu, would actually be stepping into the realm of the Imperial Dao and could no longer be deemed a Human King.

"Gentlemen, now that the new dynasty is established, we should establish a name for the nation. Do you have any suggestions?"

Regaining his focus, Jiang Chen turned to his strategists and advisors. The dynasty had changed, continuing to refer to it as the Han Dynasty was no longer suitable, and it was time to consider a new name.

"What about establishing Yan?"

"The King is a descendant of the Flame Emperor, so taking the character ’Yan’ from Flame Emperor as the dynasty’s name seems fitting."

Someone immediately spoke up.

"Yan is improper; the Han ruled the world with the virtue of fire, known as ’Yan Han,’ so this name ’Yan’ would be unsuitable for the King’s new dynasty. If you ask me, why not simply name it ’Shen’? From now on, we can refer to our court as the Divine Court, fitting the status of our King as an Emperor Lord."

Upon hearing the suggestion for the name ’Yan,’ someone immediately countered. Since Han was known as ’Yan Han,’ the character ’Yan’ could not be used by Jiang Chen under any circumstances.

"How about Li Chen?"

"The King has descended as Emperor Ziwei, so naming the dynasty ’Li Chen’ would enhance the King’s identity."

Another voiced a different opinion.

"What about ’Xi’? Xi embodies the Sun, daylight, and sunlight—it’s also the name of the Heavenly Emperor."

"The King isn’t just a Human King but also the Sun God and a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor. Wouldn’t the name ’Xi’ be most suitable?"

Amidst the debate over the name of the dynasty, Jiang Chen’s strategists argued vigorously, prepared to come to blows if not for the inappropriateness of the occasion.

What is a great accomplishment? This is it!

If the Human King adopts their suggestions and names the dynasty after their proposal, just this alone would be enough to cement their names in history.

For this reason, everyone naturally argues intensely.

As for the name of the dynasty, Jiang Chen didn’t have much of an idea. He initially intended to decide on one at random, but then he suddenly considered that a dynasty’s name should not be chosen lightly; it must contain hopes and implications.

Just as the true names of the Innate Divine Demons or the Dao names of the disciples of Saints hold unique meanings and are unparalleled.

True names, within the Prehistoric World, possess immense power, though they are rarely used by anyone. Not just that, if a name is well-chosen, it can occupy the Dao Rhyme of the universe.

Otherwise, why would those Great Divine Transcendents have so many honorific titles, aside from their Innate divine names? Because each title symbolizes a different power in Heaven and Earth.

"Hmm?"

"What is this..."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something, looking towards the direction where the Primordial Chaos lay outside the heavens, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.

Then, he instructed, "Return and diligently peruse the classics, search the records, and be sure to come up with a meaningful name for the nation."

"I have matters to attend to. Before I return, you must provide me with a satisfactory answer."

After saying this, without waiting for their response, Jiang Chen’s figure vanished on the spot, hurrying towards the Emperor Wa Palace located in the Chaos beyond the heavens.

Besides him, many powerful individuals of the Human Race also set out, all heading towards the Emperor Wa Palace.

Something significant was happening today, not a bad event, but a wonderful occurrence, a momentous good fortune. Emperor Flame’s descendant, Jiang Hao, who traveled to the Splendid Heaven’s Emperor Wa Palace for seclusion in search of a breakthrough a hundred years ago, has now finally found the opportunity for his breakthrough and has begun.

With his successful breakthrough, the Human Race will gain another Great Divine Transcendent.

No, that is incorrect; if Jiang Hao succeeds in his breakthrough, the Human Race will gain a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. It is only if he fails that the Human Race will have another Great Divine Transcendent.

Now at the pinnacle of a Quasi-Saint realm, Jiang Hao’s breakthrough would inevitably transcend the Divine Dao, striving for the level of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.
