Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Growth in Eryndor
With the inclusion of the Kanar tribe and the villagers from Dark Breeze, along with others arriving every few days, the Empire of Eryndor flourished at an unprecedented rate.
The rising sun seemed to symbolize a new beginning, and the atmosphere was filled with positive and hopeful energy.
The tribes, once marked by suffering and oppression, now transformed Eryndor into an environment of welcome and opportunity.
Orion watched with pride as the people began to cultivate not only the land but also their skills and knowledge.
The areas surrounding the empire turned into vibrant fields, where abundant crops sprang forth from the fertile soil.
The agricultural techniques, once rudimentary, were being enhanced under the guidance of mentors that Orion summoned using his divine ability.

The villagers learned to cultivate grains and vegetables that thrived in Eryndor.
The fields of wheat and herbs not only fed the population but were also rich in nutrients that enhanced the health and vigor of the cultivators.
Irrigation techniques allowed water from crystal-clear springs to reach every corner of the land, ensuring that no seed went unplanted.
The cultivation classes became a daily ritual. Young and old, from all tribes, gathered around specialists who taught the value of patience and wisdom.
Orion often walked through these classes, watching with a smile on his face as everyone worked to grow together.
With the growth of the tribes, traditions also began to be reborn.
The Kanar brought their dances and celebrations, which now echoed through the empire's squares.
Each festivity was an opportunity to unite the different tribes, sharing stories, songs, and rituals that strengthened community bonds.
The nights in Eryndor became a spectacle of light and sound.
The bonfires crackled as the villagers danced, and Orion often participated, his presence illuminating the environment.
He became a symbol of hope, and his stories inspired everyone to believe in their abilities and in the future they were building together.
With the advancement of the harvests, the population also began to focus on cultivating their spiritual cultivation skills.
Orion encouraged the development of martial arts and cultivation techniques, establishing academies where the inhabitants could refine their skills.
Martial arts became not only a form of defense but also a way to express beauty and discipline.
Students were taught to channel their internal energies, using techniques that combined graceful movements with explosive strength.
The Academies of Eryndor, under the supervision of masters, became places of respect and admiration.
Orion's influence and his pursuit of a prosperous empire led to innovations in every area.
The inhabitants began to develop new tools and techniques that accelerated progress.
The use of Energy Crystals as power sources for their homes and tools began to spread, providing a more comfortable and productive life.
Additionally, the Library became a center of learning where sages shared their stories and knowledge.
Books on history, botany, and magical cultivation were being studied by those who wished to deepen their skills.
As the empire grew, the concept of unity began to solidify.
The tribes, once divided by distrust and rivalries, now united in society around a common goal.
Regular meetings were organized in the Imperial Palace to discuss the needs and desires of every citizen.
"Our empire is strong not by force, but by the diversity that each of you brings," Orion said during one of these meetings. "Every inhabitant of the empire is an essential part of the whole."
Over time, the inhabitants of Eryndor transformed from mere survivors into a prosperous community. With each new dawn, the empire resonated with the sound of life, progress, and unity.
Children played in the fields, families shared meals under the stars, and stories of success and overcoming challenges became common.
As Orion looked over the vast lands that were once desolate, a feeling of fulfillment filled his heart.

Fifteen years had passed since Orion, the Emperor of Eryndor, cast his Dao of Time ability over the empire.
The inhabitants, once oppressed by the ills of humanity, finally found relief and redemption.
The scars of the past began to heal.
In a modest two-story house, Rikan slowly awoke in his comfortable bed.
The winter chill tried to invade the warmth of the blankets, but he resisted getting up.
His thoughts turned to the past, recalling how his life had changed.
"Once, all I wished for was a life without suffering… until Emperor Orion came into my tribe's life like a true savior," Rikan reflected with a touch of nostalgia as he rose, pushing the blanket aside.
His body, now robust and muscular, was the result of years of hard work since he completed his studies at the academy.
"Or as the elders like to tell it... like a deity coming from the heavens to save us."
Rikan walked to the kitchen, his bare feet touching the cold floor. His life, once marked by hunger and deprivation, now seemed distant.
"I never go hungry anymore," he thought, opening the window to let the morning light in.
"Good morning, Rikan," a soft, melodic voice interrupted his thoughts.
He turned to see his wife, Adele, entering through the front door.
Her short, golden hair sparkled in the sunlight, and her brown eyes shone with tenderness. Her pretty, delicate face hid the strength and determination of a woman who had also fought for her family. Despite her modest bosom, her curvy body, especially her well-shaped backside, always attracted attention when she walked through the streets.
"Good morning, dear," Rikan replied with a smile. "Have the kids woken up yet?"
Adele sighed and rolled her eyes, exasperated. "Oh, don't even get me started on them. They're throwing a tantrum in this cold weather!"
Rikan sighed at the thought of the two little ones, but his eyes softened with love.
"Let them sleep a little longer. We still have time before the event the Emperor organized begins," he said with a caring smile.
"I know, that's why I came to have breakfast with you," Adele replied, sitting at the table next to her husband.
They enjoyed a simple yet tasty breakfast, with food grown in Eryndor, the fruits of the collective effort of the nation that was now thriving.

When they arrived at the empire square at noon, the place was already crowded.
People were gathered, whispering to each other, while others observed in silence, waiting anxiously.
"What do you think the Emperor intends by scheduling this event today?" someone whispered.
"I'm curious too," another person replied nearby.
"Listen to what I heard from a source inside the Council," a voice caught Rikan's attention, and he turned to see who was speaking.
He immediately recognized Alberto, a farmer known for his connections with influential people in the empire.
"Hello, Alberto. Good afternoon," Rikan greeted respectfully. "Could you tell us what you heard?"
Alberto, who was talking with two other men, turned to see who was calling him and met the young man's gaze.
With a slight nod, he replied, "Of course. Nix from the Council revealed that the Emperor is going to give us the greatest gift we have ever received in Eryndor."
"Huh?"
"That's it, man. Tell us more, Alberto..."
"Sorry, this information is hidden even from the Council. Nix only found out when His Majesty let it slip during one of the meetings."
The men there entered into a heated discussion.
Rikan returned to Adele's side after talking to Alberto, reflecting on the news.
"The greatest gift... For me, it was being rescued from the life we had before," he thought.
But now, with his eyes on his children, he desired something more. "I hope whatever is coming is for their benefit."
He picked up the newborn from Adele's arms while watching his four-year-old son running in circles around them, full of energy.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the council members were seen arriving at the square and ascending the stage prepared for the occasion, calmly making their way to their seats.
Soon after, something inexplicable happened: time seemed to stop for a second, and when everything returned to normal, Orion was already seated on his throne.
With his flaming hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a majestic white and blue kimono, he sat with one leg crossed over the other, radiating an almost palpable presence.
The people fell into immediate silence, still not accustomed to the divine beauty of their Emperor, even after so many years.
Orion, aware of the impact his appearance had, adjusted his natural charm to prevent anyone from fainting, but still, several people showed signs of weakness in the face of his magnificence.
With a simple gesture of his hand, the reality around him seemed to reshape, softening his celestial appearance to make it more bearable to mortal eyes.
He then spoke with a clear and firm voice: "Good afternoon, my people of Eryndor. Today, we are gathered for an event of great importance."
He waited for the murmurs of the crowd to subside before continuing:
"I want my people to be as happy and free as possible, but for that, you need to be strong!"
Although his voice sounded calm and gentle, each word penetrated directly into the minds of everyone present, as if he were speaking individually to each of the citizens of the empire.
