#516 - Chapter 3 Return to the Capital

Hearing that the World Consciousness showed signs of compromise, Liu Yuan finally stopped urging the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl. After all, this world's level was around six or seven, wanting to crush a small fourth-tier like him was as easy as crushing an ant. Liu Yuan knew in his heart that he must not touch the bottom line of the World Consciousness, so he said, "Since you are willing to negotiate with me, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"........." A beam of light as thick as a bucket descended from the sky and landed in front of Liu Yuan. After a blur, a crystal heart emitting colorful light appeared before his eyes. "This is the [Heart of the Earth], containing the laws of the earth. As long as you integrate it into your body, you can gain the power to control the earth."

Seeing the World Consciousness being so generous, Liu Yuan was secretly delighted. He rubbed his hands and carefully held up the [Heart of the Earth], thinking that he had really made a big profit this time. "Since you are so sincere, let's talk about the issue of compensation next..."

........................

On this day, countless people's attention was attracted by the spectacle in the sky. A dazzling light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, appearing particularly striking even in broad daylight.

Liu Yuan went all out to push his true essence, flying through the air. In the past, he rarely engaged in this kind of behavior that consumed a lot of mana, but now the mana in his body had become exceptionally condensed. In addition, after practicing the "Nine Breaths Qi Absorption", his mana recovery speed was extremely fast, even exceeding the rate of consumption.

Due to the calmness of the sea and the strange phenomena appearing in the sky, the people below believed that this was a manifestation of the gods. Thus, countless people knelt down and devoutly prayed and made wishes to the gods in their hearts.

Liu Yuan could naturally sense the power of these people's vows, and he helplessly closed the channel of faith. After all, these chaotic and impure powers of faith were not of great benefit to his cultivation, but might deepen his connection with this world.

He flew at full speed and was extremely fast. In just under two hours, he had already crossed the sea. Below the sea, countless ships sailed, but they still looked well-organized. Soon he arrived near the Broken Ship, and not far ahead was Fair Isle.

Fair Isle had changed a lot. In addition to the fortress standing on the cliff, the city below had expanded several times and had become a bustling port city. The Kingsroad leading to the north had been widened at least three times. Judging from the grayish-white color of the road surface, it should have been paved with cement.

Liu Yuan knew very well that with Westeros's productivity, completing large-scale infrastructure construction was definitely not something that could be done in a short period of time. He wondered to himself, how long had he been gone!?

Liu Yuan did not intend to fly back directly, so he landed in the woods along the Mander River. He found a set of clothes that were not too conspicuous, put on a hood, and walked onto the Kingsroad, heading towards King's Landing with the travelers.

The Kingsroad leading to the north was wide and flat, lined with trees and flowers, and the scenery was picturesque. The road was bustling with pedestrians and merchants. The surroundings of the city had also undergone tremendous changes, with many villages and towns along the way. The originally barren land had now become fertile farmland, and farmers could be seen working diligently.

There were many vehicles and pedestrians on the Kingsroad. From the faces of the people, it could be seen that they lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no longer the numbness towards life that they had before. However, everyone subconsciously avoided Liu Yuan, as if he was carrying some kind of infectious bacteria, and some people even looked at him with strange eyes from time to time.

After a while, a cavalry squad came from the opposite side. They rode tall horses, wore exquisite armor, and held sharp spears in their hands, appearing majestic. The pedestrians on the road gave way to the team, but there was no fear in their eyes.

Liu Yuan saw a passerby come forward and say something to the cavalrymen, and also pointed in his direction. The cavalry squad immediately walked towards Liu Yuan.

They stopped in front of Liu Yuan, and one of them, wearing knight armor, stepped forward. His eyes were sharp and vigilant, and he asked with a hint of majesty, "Where are you from, sir? Can you take off your hood?" After the empire stabilized, it vigorously suppressed bandits hiding in the mountains and forests. It had been several years since someone dressed like Liu Yuan, hiding their head and showing their tail, had appeared.

Liu Yuan reluctantly took off his hood: "Officers, I'm just passing by. I'm going back to King's Landing to take a look. I just came back from overseas, and I've been gone for many years. I don't know what it's like there now."

The knight saw that he was not carrying any weapons and did not look like an outlaw from the forest, so he told him: "You can follow this road all the way, and you can reach King's Landing before dark. You should make it in time to have dinner there." After saying that, he returned to the squad and continued patrolling.

Liu Yuan thanked the knight for the information and continued towards King's Landing. He sighed inwardly, it seemed that Daenerys had managed the country well.

The passersby saw that the patrol team did not take Liu Yuan away, so they knew that there was nothing wrong with this person, just that his dress was a bit strange. Liu Yuan chatted with the people around him and got some news from them.

It was now the 5th year of the Imperial calendar, which translated to 312 years of the Aegon calendar. Since Empress Daenerys unified Westeros, the empire has been at peace. After the war, Daenerys stripped portions of land from the Reach, the Westerlands, the Stormlands, and the Riverlands to form a new Great 'Crownlands'.

Of course, the implementation of the new policy did cause some trouble. But under the Empress's tough measures, it was suppressed. After putting down the rebellions in various regions, relatively strict management was implemented in all major areas. The authority of the empire truly surpassed that of the lords.

In the evening, they arrived at King's Landing. It should be said that they arrived at the south bank of the Blackwater Rush. After King's Landing was expanded, the city walls were removed, and new administrative districts were divided. After entering the city, he found that soldiers patrolled the streets frequently. Liu Yuan planned to find a hotel to stay in first. He had left silently for 8 years, and he had to consider what kind of attitude to use to meet Daenerys.

Just as he was thinking about what kind of excuse to use, suddenly, he heard a commotion outside the window. He got up and went to the window to check, and saw a large group of people running in the street, closely following a team of soldiers.

Liu Yuan was a little curious about what had happened. He heard someone in the hotel shout: "The Imperial Prince and Princess are back! And the young dragon!"

Hearing him say that, many people ran out of the hotel and followed the crowd to the main street. Liu Yuan also followed the crowd to the main road. At this time, a large number of soldiers were standing on both sides of the street, separating the crowd to maintain order.

Before long, he saw a team of gorgeous carriages slowly approaching.
