The grass in the factory should be plucked

As his youthful yet firm voice rang out, the seven-colored rays of light descended once more, and the twelve golden dragons transformed into three smaller dragon seals, which were then presented to the Flood Dragon, the Fire Python, and the Fish Dragon, respectively.

The dragon, the fire python, and the fish dragon were extremely excited. They respectfully accepted the dragon seal and bowed their heads, saying, "We will obey His Majesty the Dragon King's decree."

When they received the Dragon Seal, golden light flashed, the Dragon Seal flew into their bodies, and the dragon, fire python, and fish dragon instantly transformed into real dragon phantoms!

The illusory image of the Flood Dragon was a jet-black dragon, the Fire Python transformed into a fiery red illusory dragon, and the Fish Dragon was a golden illusory dragon!

This means that even though they do not yet have the true form of a dragon, they can already temporarily assume the duties of a dragon king.

As long as they continue their cultivation step by step, they will naturally transform into dragons.

Three golden thrones slowly rose from the Ascending Dragon Platform, positioned slightly lower than the throne of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

The master of ceremonies then announced: "Please, Your Majesty the Three Dragon Kings, ascend the throne—"

The dragon, the fire python, and the fish dragon suppressed their excitement and took their seats one by one.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Dragon King!"

All the sea creatures rose again and bowed respectfully to the four new Dragon Kings in an orderly fashion.

The springs around the Rising Dragon Platform spouted out corals and pearls of various colors, scattering dazzling colors across the sky. The songs of the mermaids rang out, filled with joy and anticipation.

Jiang Li looked at the Four Dragon Kings on the throne with great satisfaction. These four Dragon Kings were all cultivated by her.

After the coronation ceremony was completed, the four Dragon Kings of the Seas all stood up and, led by Egg, slowly walked to Jiang Li and bowed in respect.

With tears of emotion welling up in her eyes, Egg said, "Without you, sister, there would be no Ao Ming today. Thank you, sister!"

The dragon, the fire python, and the fish dragon all said in unison, "We will never forget the kindness of the little fairy in nurturing us!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "As the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, you each rule your own territory. You should prioritize the well-being of all living beings, abide by the heavenly rules, and respect and help each other."

The four Dragon Kings respectfully replied, "In the name of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, we swear to follow the teachings of the Immortal, protect the peace of the four seas, and bring happiness and well-being to all people; from now on, all aquatic creatures in the world will respect you, obey your commands, and do our utmost to fulfill your orders!"

Even the sea creatures prostrated themselves on the ground: "All aquatic creatures under heaven shall obey the command of the immortal!"

Before the oath of the sea tribe had faded, a distant celestial sound suddenly rang out above the golden palace, like the harmonious sound of bells and chimes. The rosy light that had been surrounding the palace abruptly receded, replaced by a golden pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, descending from the ninth heaven and precisely enveloping Jiang Li on the jade steps.

"This is the golden light of Heavenly Merit!"

The sea creatures looked up, their eyes filled with shock and awe. The four Dragon Kings of the seas all took a half step back and bowed in respect.

This is because Jiang Li cultivated the Four Dragon Kings for this world. With the Four Dragon Kings returning to their positions, the Five Elements were replenished, and this small world was able to operate autonomously in the cycle of heaven and earth, evolving into a complete ecosystem.

From then on, this world was no longer a "broken land" that depended on external forces for its survival, but a complete life system that truly possessed "birth, aging, sickness and death, the cycle of the four seasons, and the coexistence of all things." Even without the intervention of external forces, it could continue to exist for a long time and gradually become a true "world of the universe"!

To transform a virtual little world into a "great world" is a great merit, and Heaven will naturally reward her.

This "Heavenly Way" is of course not the Mirror Spirit. In fact, the Mirror Spirit is merely the "representative" of the Heavenly Way, acting on its behalf. The true "Heavenly Way" of this small world is the Reincarnation Mirror itself!

Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an retrieved the fragments of the Samsara Mirror and repaired it. Jiang Li also "raised" the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas for this small world, so the Samsara Mirror naturally rewarded her.

Xie Buli and her three siblings were both surprised and impressed, looking at their mother with adoration.

Bathed in golden light, Jiang Li clearly felt a pure and gentle power flowing into her body, coursing through her meridians. Her mind became clear and transparent, as if she could overlook all living beings in the world and understand the subtle laws governing the operation of heaven and earth.

These golden rays of merit can nourish her soul, and when she returns to the upper realm, they can help her break through to a higher realm!

Jiang Li was overjoyed. She was in the late stage of Qi Refining in the Upper Realm. With these golden lights of merit, she might be able to establish her foundation in one fell swoop, or even directly reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!

As the golden light of merit faded, the final chapter of the celebration in the Golden Palace began. The four Dragon Kings bowed once more, their voices filled with reverence: "Congratulations, little fairy, on your merits and the blessings of Heaven!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Congratulations! Now that the coronation ceremony is over, the four of you should go to Longteng Sihai and let the whole world celebrate."

"I will obey the fairy's command!"

The four Dragon Kings bowed to bid farewell to Jiang Li and stepped out of the Golden Palace together.

The once calm East China Sea suddenly boiled over.

With several dragon roars, four dragon shadows burst forth from the water, transforming into giant dragon phantoms tens of feet long:

The Azure Dragon is sacred, the Black Dragon is mighty, the Fire Dragon is blazing, and the Golden Dragon is glorious.

The four dragon kings circled high in the sky, their roars resounding throughout the universe, causing the waves of the four seas to surge and creating a magnificent roar that stretched for thousands of miles.

"The Dragon King has manifested!"

At the Dragon King Temple on the shore of the East China Sea, the people were the first to spot the dragon's silhouette high in the sky, and immediately erupted in thunderous cheers. Ten thousand people shouted "Long live the Dragon King!" The sound of their voices drowned out the waves and echoed the dragon's roar.

In the imperial city, thousands of miles away, upon seeing four dragon shadows soaring into the sky, Emperor Nangong Qinghe was overjoyed. He raised his hand and issued an edict: "The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas have ascended the throne, and Heaven has rewarded their merits. A general amnesty is hereby granted! All prefectures and counties shall hold banquets for three days to celebrate with the people!"

On the altar of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Tianshi, dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding a whisk, led a hundred Taoist masters to pay homage to the dragon's shadow from afar.

Holding his whisk, Zhang Tianshi proclaimed in a loud voice, "On behalf of the Taoist sect, I congratulate the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas on their ascension to the throne!"

A hundred Taoist masters bowed in unison and said, "Congratulations on the Dragon King's ascension to the throne! May the Dragon King's might be boundless and the hearts of all under heaven be united!"

The sound was like a resounding bell, shaking heaven and earth.

A hundred Taoist masters chanted Taoist mantras simultaneously, their voices melodious and resonant, intertwining with the emperor's sacrificial text and the people's prayers, transforming into a powerful positive energy that permeated the world.

Seeing this magnificent sight, the four Dragon Kings roared once more, their roars piercing through the clouds and echoing throughout the land.

At this moment, a spiritual rain fell from the sky. Fine rain threads, like cow hair or silver needles, fell from the clouds, carrying a faint halo, and slowly drifted down to the earth and the sea. This was a spiritual rain sent down by the Heavenly Dao in response to the ascension of the Four Seas Dragon Kings and the merits bestowed upon Jiang Li. The fine rain contained pure spiritual energy and vitality of heaven and earth.

The raindrops landed and instantly produced amazing effects.

It was the dead of winter, but suddenly everything came back to life, with peach blossoms and willows in full bloom, a riot of colors.

Even on the edge of the desert, the Gobi Desert, nourished by the rain, sprouts green shoots, and drought-resistant sea buckthorn grows new branches, adding a touch of life to the barren land.

For living beings, the rain is a divine gift.

Under the nourishing rain, the elderly, who had been ill for a long time, regained their rosy complexion and radiant appearance; the sick children's high fever subsided instantly; the beggars suffering from chronic diseases had their festering wounds quickly scabbed over; and the farmers, who had toiled for years, were freed from their old aches and pains and were full of energy...

The drizzle lasted for three whole hours.

After the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and a colorful rainbow stretched across the sea.

On the earth, the grass and trees were lush and the flowers were in full bloom. All living beings were healthy and the people were happy, foreshadowing a peaceful and prosperous world where the world was at peace, the country was prosperous and the people were at ease, and all ethnic groups were happy.
