As Lucas knelt before him, Serra smiled.

"Oh, I thought I'd have to do more to convince you of who I am."

"There's no need. In the ancestral shrine, we have a sculpture and painting of how you look and it's been carefully preserved all this time. Therefore, when I saw you appearance, I was certain that it may indeed be the ancestral founder. Furthermore, your power that is without a doubt beyond that of any supreme expert confirms it."

In the world of cultivation, might makes right.

If Serra didn't reveal his power beforehand and simply told him so, Lucas might not have believed it.

But since he revealed his power, Lucas was convinced.

"Before we speak, Eisel, Meileen, you two would take care to leave this place and rest. We have some important matters to discuss."

Serra looked at the two.

"My dear daughters... Please leave for a moment. I will speak towards you two later."

""Yes Royal Father.""

They both bowed and left promptly.

"They're quite disciplined. They're good children."

Serra praised them both.

"Thank you for your praise, ancestral founder."

Lucas was beaming.

He was proud to have his daughters praised by the founder.

"First, I will raise the continents ruined in the Great War and bring them back. That should solve the issues with population."

Lucas was shocked.

Raise continents?

Given the few remaining continents, raising a few will undoubtedl solve their issues with population growth.

In fact, it may even stop the war!

Both sides know that this war is a necessity and they're both aiming to win.

"Also, I've already discussed things with the Demon King. He's agreed to my offer and will accept peace."

Lucas was shocked once more.

He's already spoken to the Demon King!?

If so, then we may gain peace at last.

"Within a few months, I'd like you to gather all the leaders of the human race here. Also, make sure to recall all supreme experts at the Emperor Realm, I'll teach them myself."

"Yes Founder!"

Personal teaching from the Ancestral Founder, the supreme expert who ruled the world countless years ago?

Anyone would go mad with excitement at such a prospect that would allow them to become supreme experts themselves.

With the Ancestral Founder, the human race would be united.

Furthermore, with peace with the Demonic Beasts guaranteed and the Ancestral Founder personally teaching their supreme experts, the Recquir Clan would soar in glory just like they did countless years ago when their founder led them to rule the world!

This was the start of a new era! A glorious new era for the Recquir Empire!
