The Dragon Country gradually stabilized not long after. While some ancient sects still acted recklessly, they dared not cause trouble easily. Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Country would not dare to suppress them, but times had changed; the current Dragon Country was no longer the same as before.
Seeing the situation calm down, Lu Fan did not make a move, but his brow furrowed slightly. He could tell that the ancient sects' actions this time were likely intentional.
The Dragon Country's ambition to be promoted to the Dragon Dynasty must have obstructed the ancient sects. Their actions were a warning to the Dragon Country; if the Dragon Country persisted, the ancient sects would not stand idly by.
During these three days, numerous experts from the Dragon Group were stationed throughout the Dragon Capital. Any suspicious individuals were suppressed, and even the Dragon Capital was restricted to easy entry for any force other than Dragon Country experts.
This national promotion was of great importance, concerning the very lifeblood of the Dragon Country, and they were well aware of it.
After three days, countless figures stood in the Dragon Capital Square.
These people were filled with anticipation, waving their flags, their hearts brimming with excitement.
In the center of the square stood a colossal statue, and the person depicted was Lu Fan.
The members of the Dragon Group did not dare to delay. Not only were the areas around the Dragon Capital filled with experts, but all passage within ten miles of the Dragon Capital was completely prohibited.
At the same time, across the Dragon Country, countless figures appeared on the streets, gazing at the massive statue with reverence.
Since Lu Fan had intervened to save the Dragon Country, many cities had erected statues of him, as if these statues could ward off evil and bring good fortune.
Lu Fan arrived at the Dragon Capital Square in secret, feeling a continuous influx of power within him. He even had an intuition that if this continued, he could break through to the Battle Emperor realm.
"Is this the power of faith from the populace?"
Long Yi looked at Lu Fan's surroundings with emotion. He could clearly feel Lu Fan's aura gradually ascending, destined to reach an extremely high realm in time.
"If the grand ceremony is successful, we will receive the blessing of national destiny!"
Lu Fan stated, "At that time, perhaps I can break through to the Battle Emperor realm in one go!"
"That would be for the best!" Long Yi nodded solemnly.
With the ancient sects watching covetously, Lu Fan's ability to grow stronger was naturally a great boon for the Dragon Country.
"Today, the grand ceremony is held, and from this day forward, the Dragon Country will be renamed the Dragon Dynasty!"
The Grand Elder shouted from the high platform, his voice resonant.
As his words fell, the crowd erupted in cheers, their enthusiasm palpable.
Gazing at the many citizens below the Dragon Capital, Lu Fan also felt a surge of emotion. All his efforts seemed to have been worthwhile.
Just as everyone was celebrating, the entire Dragon Capital, and indeed the entire Dragon Country, began to tremble as if the earth itself was shaking.
"What is happening? Could it be an attack by a powerful expert!"
The elders frowned and stepped forward, their figures moving with agility. As elders of the Dragon Dynasty, they would not allow their citizens to be harmed in any way.
Lu Fan also instantly unleashed his senses, looking towards the Dragon Country Headquarters.
Within the headquarters, a beam of light shot towards the sky, carrying supreme might and emanating rays of brilliance.
"It's the Dragon Spring, the Dragon Spring has opened its eyes!"
The Seventh Elder exclaimed with joy. He had not expected the Dragon Spring to open its eyes at this moment, which signified that the Dragon Dynasty would surely head towards glory in the future.
"The Dragon Spring opens its eyes, the Dynasty prospers!"
The Grand Elder shouted with excitement. It had not been easy for the Dragon Country to reach this day.
With the opening of the Dragon Spring, every general and even every elder of the Dragon Country received the blessing of national destiny.
The Grand Elder exuded an Emperor-level aura, while the Seventh and Ninth Elders' cultivation gradually increased, directly reaching the ninth stage of the Battle Emperor.
Simultaneously, many generals of the Dragon Dynasty also began to break through. Whether they were Battle Kings or Battle Spirits, their breakthroughs were several times more numerous than before.
Even a few powerful individuals within the Dragon Country were promoted to the Battle Emperor realm.
Even more terrifying was that the power of national destiny was still circulating, and the blessings they received would continue to increase.
"Is this the power of national destiny?"
Long Yi was shocked. He too was now imbued with national destiny, his aura steadily growing.
Just as everyone was celebrating, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the Dragon Capital, each emanating a powerful aura.
"Who goes there?"
The Dragon Group members shouted, "This is the East Gate of the Dragon Capital, and no one is allowed to enter!"
"With just you?"
Several elders scoffed. With a mere stomp of their feet, they repelled the Dragon Group members, showing utter disregard.
Within the Dragon Capital, Lu Fan's brow furrowed, "People are approaching from all four directions of the Dragon Capital. I fear they are not here with good intentions!"
"Let us each guard a gate!"
Long Yi suggested, "We absolutely cannot let them enter the Dragon Capital at this critical juncture!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and moved towards the East Gate. Among the four directions, the aura from the East Gate was the strongest.
Sensing the unfavorable situation, the elders of the Dragon Country dispatched three of their own to the North Gate.
At the East Gate, after dealing with the Dragon Group members, the elders headed straight for the Dragon Capital city.
However, Lu Fan's figure blocked them outside the city.
"Foolish child, get out of the way!"
The elders' voices were icy, and they did not take Lu Fan seriously at all.
"The Dragon Capital is holding a grand ceremony. I ask that you seniors please return!" Lu Fan clasped his hands.
"With just you, you dare to speak such words!"
An elder sneered and unleashed a surge of internal energy towards Lu Fan. In his eyes, Lu Fan was merely a city guard, insignificant.
Unfortunately, after unleashing the energy, there was no reaction.
Even more terrifyingly, Lu Fan stomped his foot on the ground, catching them off guard. They were forced to retreat, and blood trickled from their lips.
"Who exactly are you? To possess such strength?" The elders were shocked and apprehensive.
"By rights, I should be the Lord of the Dragon Dynasty!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If you seniors have come to offer congratulations, the Dragon Dynasty welcomes you. But if you have ulterior motives, do not blame me for being unmerciful!"
"So you are the one leading the Dragon Country!"
The white-haired elder said coldly, "If you were to be the Lord of the Dragon Country, we ancient sects would not interfere. But you wish to be the ruler of a Dynasty, that is merely wishful thinking!"
"Seniors, are your words implying you have a backup plan!" Lu Fan's expression turned cold.
He knew very well that these old fellows were here to cause trouble. If they could not be deterred, it would lead to significant problems.
"We are elders of the Lieyang Sect. Besides us, our sect leader will personally arrive!"
An elder stated coldly, "When our sect leader personally intervenes, the Dragon Country may be annihilated. Young man, you should consider carefully!"
"If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If they offend me, I will slay them!"
