Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank
Chapter 657 - 657 Only If You Want It657 Only If You Want It
In terms of knowledge and status, Huang Chengyan was inferior to Cai Yong. There was a certain gap between their fame and status, and Cai Yong was well-respected as a decent and moral man.
Not long after, in a school hall, accompanied by the sound of reading, Li Xiang saw an old man in green.
“Mr. Cai, I have some news,” Lin Ruhai came to the door and said.
Hearing this, the elder in green revealed a kind smile and said, “Lin Ruhai, weren’t you guarding the outer perimeter of the academy? Why did you suddenly return? Anything serious?”
Then, his eyes fell on Li Xiang. With his memory, he knew clearly that he had never seen Li Xiang before. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to not have an impression of him.
“Sir, this is a survivor I found outside the academy. He came from the outside and was extremely lucky to pass through the foreign race’s blockade and find the academy. The news I’d like to report is related to him. This matter is of great importance, so I thought it’s better to come over right away,” Lin Ruhai answered.
Cai Yong nodded, and his gaze fell on Li Xiang.
“May I know who you are?” Cai Yong asked in a deep voice.
He instinctively felt that the person in front of him was not simple.
“My name is Li Xiang. I heard that an academy here was besieged by foreign races, so I came from the Kingdom of Dawn to find you,” Li Xiang said calmly.
“Li Xiang? I think I’ve heard of this name somewhere.”
When Cai Yong heard Li Xiang’s self-introduction, he immediately had some doubts. He felt that this name was very familiar, and it was definitely not the first time he had heard it. He must have heard it somewhere before, and it had left a deep impression on him.
“When Myriad World Continent first descended, there was Lord of Dawn, Li Xiang! You’re Li Xiang, the one who destroyed the foreign race? You are the most powerful Lord of Dawn, the man who built the Human race?”
Cai Yong recalled where he had heard Li Xiang’s name before.
Although there were many people with the same name, what he knew about Lord of Dawn immediately came to his mind.
“That’s right. However, the Kingdom of Dawn now covers an area of 150 million square kilometers and has a population of 500 million. There are more than 1000 cities that can accommodate a million people, as well as countless villages and towns.”
Li Xiang knew that Cai Yong had already figured out who he was, so he didn’t hide anything and admitted his identity. He even explained the basic information about the Kingdom of Dawn.
“What? 150 million square kilometers? A population of 500 million? That’s massive, and there are so many populations! In the past, not even a large empire could compare to this! Brother Li is actually the Country Lord of such a powerful country?” Lin Ruhai gasped when he heard this.
In the past, with a population of tens of millions, the ruler could be called a King establishing a dynasty and a country.
However, Li Xiang’s Kingdom of Dawn was at another level.
He could be called an Overlord of a Region.
In the entire Myriad World Continent, even within the Human race, he was a top overlord.
Lin Ruhai was shocked by this fact. What was even more unexpected was that such a figure would actually appear here and take the risk himself. Obviously, it was definitely not because he had accidentally entered the valley as he had said before.
“Brother Lin, don’t be so surprised! Right now, Myriad World Continent is at war. My territory may seem big, but when you look at the entire Myriad World Continent, it’s really just a tiny piece of land. To be honest, I have thousands of cities that can accommodate millions of people, but in fact, other than the capital city I’m in, none of the other cities have a full capacity. Some have a few hundred thousand people, while some have only a few tens of thousands.”
Lin Ruhai shook his head in disbelief.
“You are Country Lord Li. With your status, you must be here for Jixia Learning Academy, right? ”
As a great scholar, Cai Yong was more than intelligent. After becoming a cultivator, his own talent transformed into cultivation. His mind was clear, and he could see through everything within a second.
How could a powerful high ruler wander around in the wilderness for no reason? It would be innocent to buy this story.
“That’s right. However, before this, I didn’t know that this was Jixia Academy. I just received news that an academy once descended here in this valley and was besieged by fierce beasts and foreign races. I didn’t have the strength before, but now that I’m sure I can do something. That’s why I rushed over here,” Li Xiang said calmly.
“You want the students of Jixia Academy to join your forces, the Kingdom of Dawn, and work for you,” Cai Yong said with a certain tone.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a kind of disgust for the game of power.
When Li Xiang saw Cai Yong’s reaction, he knew that he was very repulsed and even disgusted with power. Like many real scholars in modern times, he was not a big fan of fighting and scheming.
The political circles were full of schemes and manipulations. However, Li Xiang knew that in the Kingdom of Dawn, such conflicts were still in the bud.
It was not the time for internal power struggles, especially since what he wanted to establish was not an ordinary dynasty, but a Divine Kingdom.
He would never allow any conflicts to spread.
Anything crossed the line couldn’t exist.
He thought to himself and said without hesitation, “It’s not for my use. My purpose for coming here is to rescue the many Human race elites in Jixia Academy. The Human race was plagued with disasters. For example, the elites in the academy would not die if they could avoid it. Any one of them would be a valuable asset to the Human race in the future. As for whether or not you’re willing to join the Kingdom of Dawn, I won’t force you. If you’re willing, you are more than welcome to become part of us.”
You could take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink! However, he had to give it a shot!
If the horse didn’t want to drink, he would not push it.
It didn’t matter to him whether he stayed or left the Kingdom of Dawn.
There were countless true talents in the world. Even if he insisted on staying, his heart would not be there. Not only would it be useless, but it would also bring harm to the entire system. Li Xiang had never been willing to do such a thing.
There had been no lack of such examples in ancient times. For instance, in the Three Kingdoms, Xu Shu was like this.
Cao Cao had tricked Xu Shu into using his mother to take him under his wing. However, under Cao Cao’s command, Xu Shu did not say a single word, did not offer a single plan, and was a classic example of not putting in any effort. When Pang Tong proposed the idea of connecting the boat with the iron chain, Xu Shu had already seen the hidden danger, but he had not pointed it out. Such a person would be useless even if he was taken under his command. It would be a waste of resources.
With the lesson from history, Li Xiang was not the type to force others, so he naturally would not force them.
