Omnipotent Husband System

After the battle ended, Ye Peng was deployed for a small stage clean-up. Hao Ren and his people also settled around the coast when he noticed something. He raised his head and looked at the still army of the Biron Kingdom. He thought for a few minutes and then he couldn't help but walk over to their ranks.

He stood face to face with a young man who seemed to be a centurion/captain. He asked, "Why are you all standing in attention? The war didn't begin and the battle has ended."

The centurion took a deep breath and then he said, "We are mourning for our fallen soldiers and generals."

Hao Ren raised his brow, he was surprised to see such a strong and free display of the sentiment. He asked, "Aren't you afraid that if you said this, I will kill you all as well?"

The centurion gulped, he might not seem to be afraid but underneath the armor he was sweating badly. However, the man steeled his nerves and said, "This has always been a tradition of our military. When a senior officer or a fellow soldier falls we all stand still till sun down in their honor."

Hao Ren looked at all the soldiers and found they were all really standing still, he took a deep breath and said, "You all are good soldiers. You have my respect, however, I hope you understand that I also have people I am accountable to. If someone comes to your house and threatens to take over everything that you have worked hard for, how would you handle it?

Kings and Queens fall from grace when they are blinded by greed of conquest. I had given him three chances, but since he didn't heed any of them. This was bound to happen."

The soldiers didn't reply, they were also aware that in this world only the strong were right. King Biron was the strongest of them all, and thus he became the king. Hao Ren defeated the King, so now he held the chain of command.

After interacting with the soldiers, Hao Ren called over his logistics team and asked, "Can we set up a defense barrier around the borders of this country?"

The people weren't surprised, however, the soldiers of the Biron army also heard this and were surprised. Hu Baihe asked, "Are you really going to capture the place?"

Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "I haven't decided yet, but after the demise of four strongest people, they would be at risk from outside countries and forces. The barrier would give them a buffer period. As for the forces who might be waiting to make a move in the shadows, drag them out and have them submit. General Hu, it is your task."

Hu Baihe was surprised and asked, "Huh, why me?"

Hao Ren raised his brow and asked her with a deadpan face, "Did I stutter?"

Hao Baihe shivered, she realized that she had instinctively challenged the dignity of her Sovereign and Hao Ren wasn't the one to let go of such matters easily. She shook her head and said, "I will get things done quickly, Your Majesty."

That said, she rushed away as if lightning flashing through the sky. Hao Ren then looked at the vast landscape and said, "Ye Jian, I am going to cultivate, inform me when Peng returns."

Ye Jian bowed and replied, "Yes, Young Master."

Hao Ren sat down in cultivation, but in reality, he was talking to the system, *Bitch, are you not going to conquer this piece of land?*

The young man sighed and replied, 'I haven't decided yet. Lately, in many things that I do, I can't find the logic. I end up questioning myself as to why am I doing what I am doing. All this makes no sense to me anymore.'

*Sigh, allow me to tell you a secret which will clear this fog of tomfoolery. Do you know how many realms are there in the upper-level cultivation?*

Hao Ren replied, 'Dao Dust, Dao Land, Dao Sky, Dao Being, and Dao World in the Dao Realm…'

Just as he was about to go on, the system cut in, *Shut up, doofus. You are just telling me the obvious. In this world only mortals cultivate these realms. Yes, you heard that right, these people cultivate to the heavenly realm and don't become immortals, they perish slowly but mind you, they do perish.*

Hao Ren couldn't comprehend this and asked, 'What do you mean they perish? Don't they go on to live for millions of years?'

*Bitch, has your brain really melted? Since when did things with expiration dates became immortal? What do they do with such a long lifespan? They just try to scratch the surface of the great dao but never got even an inch close to it. Why, because Dao can only be achieved by mastering the extreme principals.*

Hao Ren furrowed his brows and asked, 'What are these extremes?'

*The mastery and enlightenment in three ways, arts, martial laws, and soul. Arts are music, painting, fishing, chess, tea making, etc. Martial Laws are spirit arts, fist arts, weapon mastery, artifact forging, alchemy, array science, and inscriptions. While for soul, it means mastery over emotions and thoughts.

It may seem like its easy, but do you know where the limit of these things lies? Only when you have touched the limit will you be considered a master of these extremes, why did you think I forced you to learn all that you can? Humans are the only species in this universe capable of cultivating the extremes.

When you manage to master one extreme, you gain a Dao Halo, and become Dao Sage. When you master two of them, you become a World Sage. Three Halos classify as a Heavenly sage. The limitation is that you can only comprehend one Halo in your realm or the heavens will fuck you up for sure, none can get past it.

After you reach the peak of heavenly realm and become a heavenly sage, only then can you start adding halos to your cultivation. Nine Halos will make you condense a wisp of great dao inside you, and only then would you become an immortal.*

Hao Ren was silent, comprehending what he was just told by the system. He didn't expect such a thing to be hidden from him. He thought and asked, 'Why didn't Amber tell me all this?'

*How would I know why she withheld this? It could be that woman never came across a sage. They are extremely rare, almost beings of a forgotten era.**

Hao Ren sighed and asked, 'What does it have to do with my conquering this country?'

*The second method to gain sage halo is worship and devotion. Do you see how the people from the Crescent Moon Empire love and worship Han Lingshi? She will become a sage in a few years if they start burning an incense in her name.*

Hao Ren was surprised and said, 'Fuck, are you for real? So, having more people to worship means more people to achieve sainthood.'

*Correct, however, only till you are in the Dao Realm. If you reach the Dao World realm then kiss the sage hood goodbye, and same with the dream to become an Immortal.*

Hao Ren shivered and said, 'Got you.'

He opened his eyes, although the conversation has lasted for a long time, it had just been a few minutes outside, he stood up, and Ye Jian turned to look at him, and he sighed. His disciple was standing beside him and asked, "Master, why does it feel like His Majesty is a bit excited?"

Ye Jian smiled and said, "Xiao Long, he can't be judged by common parameters."

Hao Ren looked at Ye Jian and said, "Jian, Jill, lead your people, We are taking control of this country, also follow the military rules. Any act of plunder will be punishable by death. Do you hear me? Challenge the leaders fair and square, subdue them, and convince the people that we come in good faith. Compensate the families of the martyrs with suitable cultivation techniques, and resources. I will have Maya come over and coordinate all these things."

The two Ye Generals nodded and Han Lingxue, who had become Ye Jill's disciple walked over to him and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you serious? How will we manage this distant place?"

Hao Ren nodded and said, "We will set up a teleportation array and a close monitoring. One of our own would be stationed here, I was thinking someone from Ye Yin division would be able to do it. No? Do you want to stay here to learn things about administration?"

Han Lingxue shook her head like a rattle and said, "Brother-in-law, can you please not drag me into this, I have yet to reach the planet shattering realm. Master won't go easy on me if I miss out on cultivation."

Hao Ren chuckled and replied, "Well, don't worry about such things then. Go help Jill handle some people and learn more. If you want anything then tell me."

Han Lingxue smiled and left with Ye Jill, and Hao Ren looked at the logistic department as he said, "Get going, I want you to scout the entire country, calculate, and set up an array within two days. Also, set up a teleportation array here first, we need experts."

The people nodded and replied positively and thus began the transformation of the Biron Kingdom.
