“Host has 10,000 people and a 50 km wide domain, the standard to establish your nation. Please give it a name to reveal this powerful existence.”
Zhong Yu pondered.
‘What’s a good name? Since I’m a cultivator, calling it Heavenly Court is fitting.’
The Heavenly Court controlled thousands of realms, looking after the yin and yang of the world, cowering everyone else and being respected throughout the known universe.
‘Though I’m far from matching this glorious name.’
‘It will only earn other’s envy and not fit my situation.’
‘The least I can do to call it is becoming a god to defend myself.’
Heavenly Court was represented by an immortal emperor who ruled all other gods and immortals.
‘This world is filled with gods running amok, descending upon the people to take their faith and souls.’
‘Once I have the power of a god, I’ll spread my faith. ‘
‘Heavenly Court would sound to those aboriginals that I might have a connection to the gods since they don’t know Earth’s legends of it.’
‘It’s decided. I’ll use some random name then change it to Heavenly Court when I’m a god.’
Han Dynasty, Roman Empire, Tang Dynasty, and even Cathay were all good.
‘No, I don’t like using other’s remains. These are all used by previous crossed over people or maybe even people from antiquity.’
‘Picking damaged goods is not in my style. I need my own name!’
‘Then I’ll just use my own name for it, Yu Empire.’
‘Yu means dominating, ruling and monarchic.’
It had been a symbol to many emperors that passed.
‘But won’t using my name for it make it look like I crown myself emperor?’
“System, call my nation Yu, the Yu Empire. I am Emperor Yu!” Zhong Yu spoke with pride.
“Name accepted. Please choose its symbol. “
‘Which one, which one? Dragon? No, I hate them. It’s been overused for ages and got sick of it.’
‘I am an unmatched Heavenly Emperor, foreordained to rule them all.’
‘Then it shall be the pihis. Isn’t the wayward bird fitting?’
‘Though I don’t like that blue, it’s too soft and feeble.’
‘It’ll look better surrounded by raging flames for protection. That should be it.’
‘And with fire being one of the five elements, the attribute and the symbol match perfectly.’
“Symbol set. Congratulations, host, on founding your nation, taking your first step on the path of monarchy and ruling the world. You can now view the nation’s status.”
The dead and flat voice was music to Zhong Yu’s ears.
[Nation name: Yu
National symbol: pihis

This simple screen allowed him to understand his domain’s situation and evaluate his own power.
“Host has established his nation and has an imperial cultivation method. Your access has increased and can now cross over throughout the world, to rob it of everything. You also earned 1,000 fortune to set in motion your nation’s rise.”
‘Wait, didn’t I cross over already? Or is my real cheat crossing over in every world?’
‘My position in this world is precarious, with gods roaming overhead and legendary beasts wrecking the lands. I could be squashed like a bug at any time.’

‘And now I can cross over. Going to some small worlds and taking their fortune will expand my domain even faster.’
‘Wonder what are the conditions.’
‘1st: each year I can cross over to a world that is in the same rank as me. With how I’m in the second rank, I can go to a world that is maximum third rank.’
‘2nd: or I can choose the world by paying with fortune, though only once a month. Though it’s a little vague with how I need 100,000 fortune to go to the most plain world, while needing one million for a third rank world. Above that are god worlds, though lacking gods yet still needing 10 million fortune for a single trip. ‘
‘3rd: by spending a bit of fortune I can bring men I exchanged from the system to help me conquer the new world.’
Zhong Yu figured these three conditions were the most important.
The lowest he would need was 100,000 fortune if he were to cross over another world, though a plain one.
With his population, he would get 275 a month. He’d need 30 years to reach that sum and had no choice but to shelf it for now.
It left him the yearly freebie he got, though the choice was random.
As long as he could conquer it or earn big from it, it’d be worth it.
‘Let’s see how my luck fairs, if the system gives me a nice little world or not.’
