What Would You Do If An Ugly Woman Asked You To Dual Cultivate?-Chapter 36: Rebuild the Nation

Even though the Southern Kingdom had fallen into chaos, a few things still stood strong in the Central Province.

The Crown Prince's Residence, though now mostly abandoned, remained untouched. The Han Clan's Mansion, once home to the strongest clan, still stood firm. The Yang Clan's Mansion, as all powerfull warrior were alive, they were strong enough handle this chaos. And amidst all the destruction, the Fragrance Pure Lotus Shops continued their business.

After the death of Han Zhentian, his son, Han Tianming, succeeded him as the new leader of the Han Clan. Han Tianming always hide and behave arrogant, just to make his father disappointed, so he choose his elder sister as next heir.

Han Tianming knew that his father hate and cold towards Han Tianxue, so he thought if only Han Tianxue was capable, then his father had no choice but choose her as next heir, granting Han Tianxue a good life ahead, if he showed his talent, then his father might marry Han Tianxue away, or won't any attention to her.

So, Han Tianming acted and he also doesn't wanted to be a clan leader as it was too much responsibility. However, after his death, he felt sad and reading the diary he left behind, Han Tianming understood that why his father hate Han Tianxue, but he also loved her, and always paid attention to her growth.

So, Han Tianming decided to take on clan's responsibility, and let Han Tianxue go out and get their mother back, she was still alive.

After that, he knew that he need to make Central Province stable, and a single clan couldn't bring stability alone. He approached Yang Zhouka, the head of the Yang Clan.

The two leaders shook hands and made a pact.

The Central Province wouldn't be left to rot.

Together, the Han and Yang Clans began their work.

The first step was bringing back law and order.

Han Tianming and Yang Zhouka rallied their forces, sending their warriors into the streets to take down bandits, criminals, and rogue factions. Anyone caught looting or killing was executed without mercy.

The Fragrance Pure Lotus Shops, still operational despite the crisis, stepped in to prevent a food crisis. They distributed food to the everyone, ensuring people wouldn't fight over it.

With food available and strict punishments in place, the riots and looting gradually stopped.

Han Tianming knew that the Crown Prince was nothing but a selfish, incompetent fool. If left alive, he would only cause more problems.

He decided to eliminate him.

However, the Crown Prince got wind of the plan and fled before Han Tianming could act. His whereabouts became unknown, but for now, he was no longer a threat.

As for the nobles who had remained in the Central Province, they were forced to choose—submit or lose everything. Most had already lost their power, but they still had wealth and resources.

Han Tianming and Yang Zhouka seized their fortunes, using the money and supplies to rebuild the province. Some nobles resisted, but they were quickly dealt with.

Three months passed.

The Central Province was still unstable, but it was no longer in complete chaos. Order had returned, and the people had begun to hope again.

Recognizing that the old Southern Kingdom was gone, Han Tianming and Yang Zhouka decided that a new name was needed.

They renamed the Central Province to Phoenix Dawn Nation—a symbol of rebirth from the ashes of destruction.

With the province stabilizing, trade was the next step.

The Woodlands Nation (formerly the North Province) had remained strong and independent, and Han Tianming established a trade agreement with them.

The East Province, now called Azure River Nation, had suffered some instability but had managed to form a new ruling structure. Trade was reestablished there as well.

The South Province, now known as Golden Horizon Nation, had fared the worst during the collapse but was beginning to recover. Seeing Phoenix Dawn Nation restoring order, they agreed to reopen trade routes.

With trade restored, goods and resources began flowing again. Phoenix Dawn Nation was no longer on the brink of ruin—it was slowly rising toward stability and strength.

With being one of the leader of Phoenix Dawn Nation Yang Zhouka, now had access to resources that had once been impossible to obtain. The treasures of the Royal Castle, which had been abandoned in the chaos, were now in their hands. Rare herbs, ancient scrolls, high-quality weapons, and powerful cultivation materials—these were now theirs to use.

Using these resources, Yang Hao successfully tempered his bones to their limit, utilizing both Yin and Yang methods. Now, he could store elements in his body.

The elements he stored were in gas form, which is why this stage was also called the Gas Stage.

And about Devils, then in the last four months, Navrita hadn't sensed any Devils. The last time, the Devouring Devil had used his power to teleport, allowing Navrita to sense it immediately. But in the past four months, she hadn't sensed anything.
