nly wouldn't believe it.If this sound wasn't affecting the soul flame, he would have without hesitation burned the spirit candle clean right now.“I don't know if you've noticed yourself, but I have to...Qian Huaheng is still quite capable; he didn't waste his time being king.
Actually, on the way to King Hall, Jiang Wang had a question—how did the royal totem safeguard the monarchical power
Four years ago, the Qihuo Department's strength didn't even rank within the top hundred in Fulu. Then came the tragedy of Wuzhi Di Ku, which wiped out their entire army, including their strongest warrior, Qihuo Gaochi.

How can such a celebratory group possibly uphold the royal authority
When he first won the victory of Life and Death Chess, he was exiled from the floating world and couldn't study the royal totem.
Now he knows the reason.
The function of the totem of power lies in its ability to suppress any other totem.
That is to say, all Totem Masters, when facing the Royal Totem, will lose their extraordinary powers and become ordinary people.
>
This terrifying effect reminded Jiang Wang of the legendary ultimate divine ability - Heaven and Earth Gate.
The difference is that Wang Quan's Totem only works on Totems, while the Heaven and Earth Gate Supernatural Power prohibits all Transcendent beings.
The Qing Huo Department, having obtained the royal totem, naturally could suppress those who disobeyed and truly grasped a hundred years of royal power.
Having the imperial totem, crowned as king, Qinghu Heng is, in this century, the true ruler of the world. Once his decree is issued, all parts of the world must obey it.
Jiang Wang asked Qing Huo Heng to do two things.
First, we will scour the land and pursue every lead related to the world-destroying Demon Dragon. This includes, but is not limited to: all traces of dragons, all divine teachings, all extraterrestrial visitors... We will look into everything from the past to the present. Any discoveries must be reported immediately, and a dragon hunting squad will be dispatched to eradicate them.
Second, all departments throughout the land respectfully presented historical books to the King's Hall and jointly reviewed history, focusing on exploring the history between two thousand and one thousand years ago. The goal was to find clues about the artifact of the World-Destroying Demon Dragon. This artifact was forged from the Buddha treasure of the fallen World-Destroying Demon Dragon and resembles a copper bowl with Sanskrit inscriptions.
In addition, there is a third thing, but it is not public.
To speak of the Dragon Slayer Zhang Linchuan, he could be considered a member of the Qihuo Clan. After all, he has the fire totem of the Qihuo Clan on his back and has studied the Fire Source Scripture of the Qihuo Clan.
Mr. Linchuan was quick-witted and studious. After studying the "Fire Source Diagram Collection" of the Qinghuo Department, he had been thinking about it day and night, hoping to collect all thirty-six volumes.
But this doesn't need him to say it. Qiheng had already done so the moment he was crowned king. It was already finished.
Moreover.
The departments of Jin, Mu, Shui, Tu, Feng, Lei, and Wen...each department's dictionary, Qinghuo Heng obtained them all through various means, greatly strengthening the foundation of the Qinghuo Department.
This is something that every royal clan would do.
Of course, the core secrets of the diagrams enshrined in all the different branches remain just as they were when the Fire Celebration department passed on their teachings to Jiang Wang. These are impossible to divulge. Only the totem cultivation and the flourishing primal source methods remain accessible.
Qing Hu Heng offered all his knowledge to Mr. Linchuan without reservation. Jiang Wang was also generous and shared these diagrams with the members of the White Jade Palace early cultivation meeting, sometimes gathering around a stove for discussions and analyzing the mysteries together. He also personally guided Qing Hu Heng's practice, teaching him killing techniques as a reward for his contributions.
As a member of the Celebration Fire Department, Jing Huo Heng was once second only to Jing Huo Gao Chi in strength. After his coronation, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, surpassing Jing Huo Gao Chi's peak and rivaling even those at the level of gods walking the mortal realm.
But that was only equivalent to a weak god's presence. Jiang Wang had faced countless powerful gods, and pointing him out felt effortless. In a short time, his combat strength increased significantly.
"Speaking of which, there's something I'm rather curious about." Within the palace, Jiang Wang pointed out the practice after finishing his training. He sat down in the pavilion and chatted casually: "If a tribe with the royal totem were to oppress and slaughter other tribes during the kingly period, preventing them from giving birth to strong warriors, wouldn't they be able to hold onto the victory of the King of Life and Death chess game and keep their reign going forever"

Qihuo Heng's boiling blood slowly calmed, a joyful expression of gradual cultivation appeared on his face, and he earnestly explained: "Firstly, in the battle for the Life and Death Chess, all races have prohibited transcendence. The gap between them is relatively small when fighting, and often Star Generals play a leading role. Secondly... if there is too much bloodshed, staining the royal power, the Royal Power Totem will also collapse. Moreover, Floating Land is filled with underground caves, requiring each department to have a certain amount of strength to suppress them. If they are suppressed too harshly, once an underground cave is breached and Star Beasts charge onto the surface, it would be the fault of the Royal Power, bringing disaster to the world."
He added: "Historically, the Xuanfeng department held power for the longest time, relying on outsiders to seize the throne twice. Later, the tradition of star generals emerged... Other royal tribes rotated every hundred years and didn't enjoy long reigns."
Jiang Wang seemed thoughtful.
As for totems, the more people who cultivate them, the more prosperous their origin becomes, and the stronger the feedback they can give to cultivators. Therefore, water, fire, wind, and earth, these seemingly ordinary totems, are actually the most powerful totems of the Floater tribe.

The rules of the Life and Death Game allow the various tribes of Fuluo to determine the throne with minimal losses. The totem of power ensures the authority of the throne, while also limiting the excesses of the ruling tribe.

The entire cultivation system and operating rules of the floating world should be said to be very positive—also with a lot of human traces.
Before learning about Wǔ Hán Gōng's possible legacy on Fúlù, Jiāng Wàng wouldn't have thought about these things. Now, he views the world in a different light, feeling that it is governed by some lingering will, developing throughout millennia within that very structure.
"You still have one more thing to do for me," Jiang Wang said directly. "I once heard Qinghuo Qiming talk about the creation myth of Fulu, but only in fragments. I heard he said it had long been lost, with scattered pages all over the place. Could you help me collect the complete version I want to understand this world better, and maybe that way, I can figure out where the apocalypse dragon will strike from."
Qiao Huaheng was always willing to listen to others' advice, but after meeting Mr. Linchuan's friends, he quickly put himself in the right position.
“To witness the full picture of the creation myth is also the desire of many. Even if you didn't say anything, as the royal clan, you should take on this responsibility, and we are already doing so.” Qinghuheng said: “However, the collection of fragmented records is handled by the shaman. Would you like to meet with them”
He knew that Mr. Linchuan and the former shaman, Qihengming, were very close. Qihengming was timid and introverted, rarely interacting with others, but he confided many things to Mr. Linchuan. Now that Mr. Linchuan has returned to Fulu, he often mentions "Qihengming once said."
But the memorial stele commemorating him, it has already been four years since he died.
Because it was suicide, not very glorious, there was suspicion that he had been driven to death by his clan. So when he mentioned the shaman, he couldn't help but be a little careful.
Jiang Wangdao: “Shamans receive the mandate of heaven, connecting with totemic origins and guiding human wisdom to cultivate favorable weather and harvests. Their status is lofty, their duties weighty and numerous. How could they deign to meet me I shall go pay them a visit.”
Before Jiang Wang left, the Qinhuo tribe had already replaced their shaman and he has been officiating at the Fire Shrine ever since.
They went to the game of life and death at that time, all presided over by new shamans. However, he had almost no communication with the new shaman, of course, there was no friendship or grudge between them.
Mr. Linchuan's respect for shamans is a respect for the Qihuo tribe.
Qing Huaiheng was very agreeable, and eagerly said: "I will personally lead the master."
Just as they were about to set off, a guard suddenly came to report —
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The chief of the Fire Clan requests an audience.
Qing Huoheng listened and was immediately stunned.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Because the Jihuo tribe is not an ordinary tribe.
Before seizing the throne, the Fire Tribe's thirty-six clans ranked the Qihuo Clan thirtieth. The Jihuo Clan had never fallen out of the top three of the Fire Tribe and was one of the most powerful clans in Fulu.
Today's Qihuo Department is indeed the royal clan, ruling the world. Even the chief of the Jihuo Department can be considered the strongest warlord under the royal power, not to be underestimated.
“Come in.” Qinghu Heng ordered, then said to Jiang Wang, “The Jihuo Clan is a powerful family, and their patriarch wouldn't come uninvited. There must be something important. Perhaps it's related to the Extinction Demonic Dragon. Mr. Linchuan, are you interested in listening”
Then Jiang Wang said: "As long as the king is not affected, that's fine."
In a short while, the current chieftain of the Fire Department arrived gracefully.
The chief of this powerful tribe, looking at the delicate beauty, was truly a stark contrast to the rough and mighty King Qing.
But when she got closer, her finely drawn brows subtly arched, and a palpable aura of power and danger materialized. "Jihuo Yu Ling pays respects to Your Majesty, and... Mr. Linchuan."
>
As his name suggests, this chieftain's origins were not noble. Yet, he has risen to his current position, leading one of the largest clans in the floating world. It must have taken him through countless hardships to get here.
“We are as close as branches from the same tree with the Fiery Tribe. I have a deep friendship with the leader of the Fiery Tribe, so there’s no need for guards! All of you, disperse!” King Qing waved his hand, dismissing the guards around him, and then invited Jade Ling of the Fiery Tribe to take a seat.
Ji Huo Yu Ling sat down beside the stone table, and the three of them were like legs of a tripod.

King Qing first asked, "Elder of the Fire Clan, have you come to bring news of the World-Ending Dragon"
"Since the Imperial Order has been issued, our clan would never dare to delay. Moreover, with the Demon Dragon threatening the world, it's a responsibility shared by all under heaven. How could the Flame Department possibly stand aloof We have already scoured every corner of the land, and upon receiving any news, we will send an eagle messenger immediately." Jade Ling of the Flame Department spoke, then changed the subject: "But the reason I came here this time is actually to visit Mr. Linchuan."
She looked at King Qing and then at Jiang Wang, her voice softening. "Since Mr. is here too, I wonder if it would be convenient to have a private conversation"

Jiang Wang has no choice but to do so.
King Qing was also very agreeable. He got up and said, "This King is just going to the council chamber. This place will be left to the two of you!"
Ji Huoyu Ling got up and curtsied: "Yu Ling is disrespectful."
If she were to secretly seek out the celestial visitor, that would be truly fearsome. But instead, she comes so openly and directly, speaking before King Qìng in front of everyone. This leaves King Qìng with no reason to take offense.
