Full-time Creation Master

The celebration banquet proceeded smoothly, without any ostentatious or extravagant decorations or elaborate ceremonies.

Only weighty recognition, tangible rewards, and the glory and confidence that permeate the air can truly bring success.

The forbidden spell-level mages who participated in the battle were still mindful of their pride and dignity, so it wasn't too exaggerated.

Those who, though not the primary contributors, had indeed rendered meritorious service, all the mid-level, high-level, and super-level mages who participated in the awarding of merits had faces filled with relief and excitement, their eyes sparkling.

They risked their cultivation, their lives, and their dignity.

Now, all the bets have yielded the most worthwhile returns, along with the glory of a victory that can bring honor to one's ancestors.

Especially those foreign super-level mages and forbidden spell-level mages who were not born in Great Xia, and who humbled themselves and bowed down.

At this moment, a storm was raging in my heart, and my eyes were filled with longing, envy, jealousy, and a hint of crazy determination.

Many people are already secretly plotting to humbly befriend and pull strings with those whose cultivation is far inferior to that of the Great Xia mages.

They're really going all out to formally submit their application and become citizens of Great Xia, to obtain true Great Xia citizenship.

The term "Ajin" ultimately carries a sense of alienation and disdain.

It is not suitable for refined occasions.

It is even more difficult for them to gain genuine respect and a sense of belonging.

Only by becoming a citizen of Great Xia and becoming a part of this rising land can one...

Only then can one truly have roots, support, and a future.

Only then can one truly demonstrate their value and obtain a status and glory commensurate with their combat strength.

Everyone can see the rising star of Great Xia.

It was never a fluke, nor was it a coincidence.

Instead, they forged ahead, overcoming countless obstacles and tribulations, thwarting one conspiracy and invasion after another.

With one brilliant victory after another, they solidified their foundation and upheld the majesty of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Following this battle, the cohesion within the Great Xia Dynasty surged once again.

The spirit of unity, the people's allegiance, and the collective will to build a great nation is in no way inferior to that of any founding emperor in history.

The Great Xia Dynasty already possesses the ultimate control over the Nine Provinces and the entire seas.

The celebration banquet was halfway through, but the congratulations outside remained enthusiastic.

Meanwhile, in a top-secret small conference room deep within Wanyang's headquarters, a core meeting concerning the future structure of the Great Xia Dynasty had quietly begun.

Chu Ming sat upright in the main seat, exuding an air of superiority and with a solemn expression.

He exuded an aura of imperial dominance, surveying the world with a calm gaze that concealed immense power.

Every glance exudes confidence and self-assurance.

Beside him were the "three musketeers" who supported the operation of the Great Xia court and held the reins of the nation's destiny—Zhang Biyan, Gao Yucai, and Wang Wenyan.

The three men appeared relaxed yet had sharp eyes, already engaged in discussion, exuding the confidence, composure, and strategic aura of civil officials.

In addition, one of the main protagonists of the battle just now was Hua Zhanhong, the chief commander of the Southern Military Region, and Nan Yu, the chief of staff of the Southern Military Region.

Dressed in military uniform, with an upright posture and the lingering aura of battle, his resolute gaze fully demonstrates the dignity and responsibility of a military commander.

Master Ciming of Lingyin Temple, clad in a kasaya, possessed a compassionate yet dignified countenance.

He was surrounded by a faint Buddhist light, and his temperament was gentle and profound, with an aura that could purify all evil spirits.

Xuan Daozi was not among the representatives of the Taoist sect.

Although the Daoist ancestral artifacts were very powerful in the South China Sea battle, Xuan Daozi's reckless and aggressive behavior alerted the various emperor-level figures to his precarious situation. When they launched their desperate counterattacks, Xuan Daozi was either targeted by multiple enemies or merely attracted a fraction of their attention.

He was eventually beaten to the point of being paralyzed on one side, and after using a whole bunch of rare and precious herbs that were rarely seen in the past century, he is now able to get out of bed.

The local representatives of Taoism are Master Zhang of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain and Master Chongzhen of Wudang Mountain.

The two men possessed an air of otherworldly elegance and refined demeanor, surrounded by a rich Taoist aura. Their deep gazes revealed the profound wisdom of these old Taoist priests.

Also present was Chang Feng, the chief commander of the third aircraft carrier, dressed in a standard military uniform with a serious expression.

However, the battle in the South China Sea tied up the victories of five or six emperors, which made him smile.

At this moment, he held the relevant reports tightly in his hand, ready to report at any time.

All of the top combat forces, civil officials, and core commanders of the Great Xia Dynasty have gathered here.

All eyes turned to a new figure in the corner, a mixture of curiosity and awe in their eyes.

He was a man clad in heavy black armor that radiated golden light, his cold and stern expression palpable even through the armor.

His posture was like a spear, upright like a pine tree.

His aura was as deep and still as an abyss, stagnant and unyielding.

Though standing quietly in the corner, it exudes an aura of domineering power.

It is like a peerless blade whose sharpness has been concealed, ready to be drawn at any time to kill the enemy.

He was Wang Zhen—Chu Ming's newly formed bodyguard captain.

Renowned author Bingxue Xuehua has joined the platform with his new work, "Full-Time Creation Mage"!

They were also the first commander of the Imperial Guard in the true sense of the word. He was a member of the Wang family of Taiyuan and was born with the talent of "Master of Light". He was absolutely loyal to Chu Ming.

And with his unique absorption talent, plus some other... his current strength is the same as Wang Zhen's, a Supreme Monarch-level physical combat power!!!

However, with the addition of Earth-type forbidden spells, Kriel's magical prowess surpasses that of Wang Zhen by a significant margin.

However, having experienced various positions, Creel resolutely refused the position of the chief commander and volunteered to become the deputy chief commander, who had more money, less work, and more power.

PS: Kriel was among the first to be registered as a "human," and also among the first to stand up and firmly support humans and demi-humans...

In fact, Chu Ming did not initially intend to establish a special Imperial Guard.

The original plan was simply to select a group of elite soldiers who were absolutely loyal, highly capable, and had a calm and composed temperament from the existing military structure.

They are responsible for their own personal protection and close guard of key locations, without the need for separate staffing or extravagant spending.

However, three events that occurred in succession completely changed Chu Ming's mind.

This also made him realize that a dedicated, top-tier bodyguard force was still very important to Chu Ming.

First, the internal purge of the intelligence organization revealed hidden dangers that made him realize that the guards of the core circle must be absolutely reliable and have top-notch combat power with overwhelming strength.

Secondly, there is the balance of power. The Iron Warriors are now showing signs of becoming the number one team, and they urgently need a strong force to deter them.

Most importantly, the Holy City was handed over to the island nation, which then incorporated it into the TPC system. The island nation then promoted the Giant of Light technology, which was used to demonstrate its own strength. This incomplete technology, which was "chained" with chains, seemed feasible but actually harbored many hidden dangers. The forbidden technology data was obtained.

From an outsider's perspective, this technology of the Giants of Light has flaws, yet it appears utterly useless in the face of overwhelming combat power.

With a battery life of less than three minutes, it cannot be used for extended periods of combat.

The team is a fixed seven-person unit, no more than one;

Those compatible with the Light Factor are extremely rare, making mass cultivation difficult...

To outsiders, these are all intolerable flaws and fatal defects that cannot be ignored.

But in Chu Ming's eyes, these were minor issues that could be gradually improved.

Therefore, Chu Ming used legitimate means, relying on the deterrent power and influence of the Great Xia Dynasty,

They obtained all the core data, design blueprints, cultivation techniques, and essential principles of the Giant of Light from TPC, Japan, and the Holy City, leaving nothing out.

After that, Chu Ming secluded himself at home, deducing, reconstructing, and rebuilding, which took no more than five or six days.

This completely broke through the constraints of existing technology, creating a new generation of giants of light.

It completely solved all the inherent flaws, pushing this technology to a whole new level.

The new generation of giants of light, in its basic form, stands 2.5 meters tall and is surrounded by a faint golden-white holy light.

With its upright posture and sharp lines, it exudes divinity and majesty;

Clad in the Imperial Guard's exclusive Iron Warrior Armor, this armor was forged from near-heavenly-grade materials.

Its strength is a full one hundred times that of ordinary Iron Warrior armor, and its defensive capabilities are top-notch.

Although, at the level of a giant of light, the armor's actual protective effect is already limited,

After all, its own physical strength and energy barrier are sufficient to withstand the vast majority of attacks.

But throughout history, which imperial guard was not masked, heavily armored, and imposing?

Armor embodies not only protection, but also the majesty of the emperor, the dignity of the nation, and is a symbol of inviolability.

After donning the armor, the Giant of Light reached a height of 3.3 meters.

His figure grew increasingly upright, and his imposing aura became increasingly overwhelming.

The golden-white holy light around him intertwined with the cold luster of his armor.

At first glance, it inspires awe and displays the supreme majesty of the Imperial Guard.

What's even more astonishing is that the fighting strength of this imperial guard has reached an astonishing level.

Every warrior in the Imperial Guard possesses combat strength firmly at the monarch level.

All of them are top-tier combatants.

In the outside world, they are all capable of standing alone and intimidating others.

As for Wang Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Chu Ming spared no expense and used up all the rare resources to subjugate him.

He was forcibly pushed to the peak of the Supreme Monarch level.

His aura was as vast and powerful as heaven and earth.

Furthermore, Chu Ming deliberately left room for advancement in the process of shaping him.

In the future, he is expected to break through to the Emperor level and become another top combatant of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In retrospect, the two Golden Titans captured alive in this South China Sea battle were truly a timely boon.

Their primal energy, divine halo power, bloodline strength, and immortal power are the core materials for Chu Ming to create the Imperial Guard and deduce the next generation of giants of light.

Without these two Golden Titans, the final formation of the Imperial Guard would likely have been delayed for a long time.
