Zhao Guang has been conducting research on Earth recently, but the development of the Xuanwu Kingdom has not stopped.

Due to the chaotic situation in the South, especially after the followers of the Evil God caused problems, there was an influx of refugees from the South.

With the Temple Alliance exerting pressure, the Undead Mages dared not treat these people too harshly. As a result, these people migrated in large numbers to the North, and their chosen destination was mostly the Xuanwu Kingdom.

There was no other way; other nations might not accept them, whereas the Xuanwu Kingdom had been recruiting large numbers of people for years.

Zhao Guang had confidence in his country's internal affairs, and even if a large number of Evil God followers infiltrated, he could find and eliminate them. After the formation of the Magic Network, things were not as cumbersome as before.

The regions those Evil God followers were in did not have the Magic Network, so perhaps they were unaware of some matters.

Anyway, after sending a large number of people to the North, coupled with the successful large-scale connection of the Magic Network in the North.

After half a year of development, along with Sephidya's forceful influence on the North using her power, now leveraging the Magic Network, Sephidya could achieve these things.

Thus, the transformation in the North progressed faster, and now the area they developed in the North has been completely finished.

Who would have thought that initially, they were worried about developing the Plague Swamp area. Now, they've expanded further North, and although the population in the Xuanwu Kingdom is still slightly lacking, in other aspects they excel.

Whether it is the land area, economic strength, military power, or various industry developments.

Now, in every respect, the Xuanwu Kingdom is almost dominating the surrounding kingdoms.

Thus, now the call among various human countries for the Xuanwu Kingdom to establish an Empire is growing stronger. While it appears to be just a title on the surface, internally it contains many significant implications.

The clamor has become so loud that it finally attracted the attention of Xi Fei and Sephidya and others.

"Are you saying we need to heed the public demand and establish an Empire?" Zhao Guang asked as he looked at the two.

The two nodded slightly, "Indeed, although the population aspect is still lacking, all other areas have been met. Besides, many people need to advance further, allowing for greater potential."

Indeed, after forming an Empire, the elevation would also elevate the status.

Whether it's official positions or other aspects, more positions will be available then.

Many have been waiting, but because it's not elevated to an Empire, they haven't been able to advance.

There might not be a shortage of other things, but sometimes such a title is truly significant.

Zhao Guang also understood this, and he knew that once the structure changed, the internal development of the country would be faster. However, there were some complications because transitioning from a kingdom to an Empire would require a new system.

The system initially designed for a smaller kingdom would only serve as a transition and could not be applied to a larger state.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guang nodded, "In that case, let's find a time to announce it, and I will appear then."

As the King, he must appear himself, Zhao Guang had no choice.

Meanwhile, the other women eavesdropping nearby wore expressions of joy, for as the nation transformed into an Empire, their status would naturally rise. The roles of a Kingdom King's Princess and an Empire King's Imperial Concubine are two different concepts.

Especially for those like Morna and Claire, whose power is not particularly strong, their status has a more significant impact.

As for those who have already reached the level of a Legend, they are not particularly concerned with this status.

After all, even an Empire King, in terms of status, would not surpass a Legend.

"Moreover, many are now calling for the reinstatement of the noble system. They claim that while it was understandable not to have nobles when the country was smaller, now with such a large country to develop, nobles are needed for expansion."

As Sephidya spoke, her face showed a trace of disdain, considering the proposition foolish.

In the current situation, with better national development and mutual oversight between all levels of officials, it's challenging for individuals to create trouble. Although the system is not perfect, it's already quite effective with the suppression of the strong.

If it were like before, with nobles grabbing military and political power, that would be troublesome.

Even with the suppression by the strong, mobilizing the nobles' strength wouldn't be easy for the state.

After all, in theory, the nobles and the Royal Family are in a cooperative relationship, just with a hierarchical distinction.

Zhao Guang laughed, "Who are the people proposing these ideas?"

"Many are foreigners, and some are fallen nobles. During our investigations, some seem to have ulterior motives, but most have been swayed by these individuals."

"It seems imperative to strengthen education; if everyone were enlightened, this wouldn't happen."

Thinking about it, Zhao Guang continued, "If anyone publicly expresses such opinions again, record them. I recall there are still many harsh places in the North; they can be sent there."

In the midst of the crowd, Princess Caris, who had snuck in at some point, looked at these people in a daze.

The adult world is truly too complicated; what are these nobles and non-nobles, all vague mysteries indeed.

As the country continues to develop, Caris sees infinite possibilities here. Although she hasn't returned, she understands many things better than average people, yet some fundamental concepts remain elusive.

For instance, in her home country, the noble system has always existed, and there hasn't been any issue with that.

Although the new country currently lacks a noble class, everything seems to function without issue, doesn't it?

Zhao Guang apparently wouldn't explain these matters but continued, "The land we've developed in the North has been completed, so the comprehensive development of the whole North can begin. I want to know if the population is sufficient."

As Zhao Guang looked at the vast northern lands, once fully occupied, his territory would be enormous.

However, it's also a massive undertaking. The country's population, though large and continually expanding, will eventually reach its limit. The South can't provide an endless stream of refugees, and it's reaching its end.

Previously, there was a headache with the excessive population, but with the development of the virtual world, this problem will definitely be alleviated in the future.

Therefore, the question of whether the northern expansive lands can be populated quickly needs serious consideration.

"Distributing the population sparsely over vast lands shouldn't be a problem. The human reproduction rate is extremely high, and to meet the requirements, as long as the seeds are sown, it should be roughly achievable in a hundred years."
