After pondering for a while, Wang Zhifan ultimately decided to forgo choosing the Record of Fierce Generals, an Epic Layer reward, and opted for the Dragon Qi Cauldron of the same grade instead.

On one hand, the Record of Fierce Generals seemed rather abstract, and its strength might not be extremely high. It would not be easy to make it effective, while on the other hand, he wanted to leave something good to maintain stability in Feng Country that he had established, and the Dragon Qi Cauldron was just right for this purpose.

As for why he did not choose the Eight Trigrams Compass, also of Epic Layer, the reason was simple. This reward overlapped in function with the Destiny Hexagram Book, which was at the Epic Layer. Obviously, its ability would be stronger, making it wasteful to choose.

Thus, in this quest's settlement of equipment rewards, Wang Zhifan gained one Epic and two Excellent awards: the Destiny Hexagram Book, the Military Token, and the Dragon Qi Cauldron. However, the effect of the overlord title he received was also very powerful, with bonus effects definitely reaching the level of Epic equipment. In addition, he obtained three pieces of Epic equipment from other players in this quest: the Demon Book, Dazzling Redemption, and the Heart of Dominion, coupled with a slight increase from rising two levels, his overall progress was not small.

"I will soon be forcibly expelled from this quest... it's time to deal with the aftermath."

After the quest settlement was completed, Wang Zhifan could actually leave the current world directly, but he did not do so immediately. The reason was that this quest was quite different from his previous ones, and he was no longer someone who could leave cleanly without any attachments. He had already left his own lineage in this world.

This kind of thing seemed a bit irresponsible, leaving descendants where he couldn't stay long, and Wang Zhifan did not deny this point. He was well aware that he was being a bit unscrupulous.

But it was also undeniable that his actions could be seen as for the people of this world, ensuring that Feng Country, which had dominated the Chaotic Realm, would not immediately fall apart after losing his leadership, at least providing a reason to continue.

What he needed to do now was to ensure that Feng Country stayed strong as long as possible, at least giving his lineage time to pass on.

"Let's go find Rou Che first."

With a thought, Wang Zhifan activated his dream-entering and dream-breaking ability, crossing a vast distance back to the Feng Country Capital, which was once the capital of Huan Country.

A few months ago, the capital of Feng Country was the former capital of Yin Country, but as the hegemony campaign progressed, Wang Zhifan ultimately chose to occupy the capitol of Huan Country, which was closer to the central area of the Chaotic Realm, to serve as the capital of Feng Country, which had ascended to the peak. After all, the royal family of the original Huan Country had been rendered incompetent by him, unable to stir up any trouble.

When he returned to the vicinity of the tall king's palace in the new capital, he found that a palace meeting was underway, with his queen Rou Che, visibly pregnant, listening to state affairs from behind a curtain.

"Prime Minister, is there any latest news from the front line?"

This was Rou Che's voice, who, though always in the rear, was deeply concerned about the outside situation.

"Your Majesty, aside from the news of Huang Country's complete submission, there is no further news. However, this old minister believes that His Majesty will return to court soon..."

The voice of the meticulous and hardworking old prime minister continued to sound.

"I have returned! If any of you courtiers have urgent matters, submit a memorial directly. I haven't seen the queen for many days, and we must have a good reunion!"

Wang Zhifan then made a forceful entry into the hall, telling the other ministers to leave and not to disturb him while he dealt with personal matters. His current status in this country was so transcendent that all rules and regulations had to yield to his will. The ministers, seeing him unexpectedly appear and say such things, obediently refrained from uttering a word of dissent.

"Your Majesty, why so impatient? The old prime minister and the ministers have to travel a long way to enter the palace. Please be more considerate of them."

Though Queen Rou Che was very happy about Wang Zhifan's sudden return, she still, in private, gently reminded him of his fault, as his previous behavior was somewhat excessive.

"Queen, please forgive my impatience, as my time here is limited this time. I have a few matters to instruct you on and a few treasures for you to safeguard..."

At this moment, Wang Zhifan did not dwell on unnecessary words. The time left for him in this quest was limited, so he quickly outlined some of his plans one by one.

These included the necessity for him to leave for a period due to certain reasons, his reliance on Queen Rou Che to continue handling state affairs, and the transfer of a national treasure to her safekeeping, namely the Dragon Qi Cauldron, advising her to keep it concealed and well-preserved. He also instructed Rou Che to manage some fundamental national assets, such as the Patterned Soldiers Book from Huan Country, the Rushing Dragon Secret Realm in Lv Country, and the recently discovered Huang Country Forging Furnace.

These assets were currently under Feng Country's control and were fundamental to maintaining the stability of the country's strongest military forces.

Upon hearing Wang Zhifan's words, Rou Che couldn't help but feel very strange, wondering why, after such a significant victory, he had to go far away, neglecting even their soon-to-be-born child and entrusting all these responsibilities to her, a woman.

To this, Wang Zhifan could only provide some half-truths, expressing his hardship and trying to comfort Rou Che. He couldn't directly reveal the whole truth to her, as she might not be able to accept it all at once, potentially causing even greater problems.

"These matters involve some monumental secrets, which is why I am compelled to leave temporarily. If you have any doubts, you can recite the name of the Venerable of Virtue. When the time is right, you will know all the answers."
