Previously, Yi Huailu had been wheelchair-bound.

There was no question that his miraculous recovery was linked to Sky Creation.

It was no surprise that Sky Creation favored the Yi family so heavily since Yi Huailu had become a Class 5 Creation Master.

Yu Yihe had wondered whether the Yi family and Sky Creation were secretly in cahoots. Once their collaboration was over, the Yi family would take over the imperial court while Sky Creation would leave Sacred Forest City.

Given Sky Creation's power, there was no way that they would take root in Sacred Forest City.

But now, Yu Yihe dismissed that idea.

The Yi family now had a Class 5 Creation Master. Thus, no matter how strong Sky Creation was, there was no way they would cut their ties to the Yi family. At the crux of it all, Yi Huailu was very useful to Sky Creation.

It was no wonder the ever-cautious Yi Huailong was being so magnanimous now that the Yi family had a Class 5 Creation Master. He did not even need Yu Yihe to swear on his World Law.

Yu Yihe was glad that he had come to the imperial court to see Yi Huailong.

Although Yu Yihe was not aware of what Class 5 Creation Masters were capable of, he knew that pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters could already nurture emperor-class experts or even thearch-class experts if they were given sufficient resources.

Given the power that Sky Creation and the Truth Association demonstrated, it was likely that Class 5 Creation Masters could nurture Immortal experts.

Since the Yi family was capable of nurturing Immortal experts, Yu Yihe was no longer as important to the Yi family and the Divine Wood Federation as he had thought. If the Yi family wanted, they could produce armies of pinnacle thearch-class experts like him.

Yu Yihe was glad he chose to visit the imperial court to express his loyalty to Yi Huailong.

Given Yi Huailong's suspicious personality, despite his claim he did not need Yu Yihe to swear his loyalty, there was no way he would trust and make use of Yu Yihe if he did not swear his loyalty.

Thus, Yu Yihe used the World Law he had comprehended to swear his loyalty to Yi Huailong.

Although Yi Huailong had said there was no need for Yu Yihe to swear his loyalty, he did not stop Yu Yihe from doing so. Rather, he smiled and waited for Yu Yihe to be done before he said,

"Yihe, we might be longtime rivals, but this is why we know each other well. You know what kind of person I am, and I know how you think.

"As long as you do your best for the Divine Wood Federation as one of my subjects, I can help the Yu family to prosper under the Yi family's rule. However, I have a condition, which is that when my daughter succeeds me as the ruler of the imperial court, the Yu family must swear their loyalty to her just like you did for me!"

Yu Yihe did not look sorrowful that the future generations of the Yu family would have to submit to the Yi family. Rather, he smiled excitedly.

Yu Yihe was not extremely ambitious. He never strove for the Yu family to become the rulers of the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court.

If Yi Huailong could keep his promise and help the Yu family become the most prosperous family in the Divine Wood Federation after the Yi family, it would be enough for Yu Yihe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely do everything I can to lead the Yu family in carrying out your wishes! Once I give up my seat, it will be passed to my daughter. I will assign my daughter to shadow the First Princess and swear her loyalty to her. From now on, the Yu family will support the First Princess in the same way that we support you."

Yi Huailong beamed with ease when he heard Yu Yihe's assurance.

As Yi Huailu watched the interaction between Yi Huailong and Yu Yihe, he felt troubled.

Yi Huailu felt that it was much simpler to increase his Creation Master power than it was to plot and scheme.

Yi Huailu intended to communicate with Di Wanmi before he used his Class 5 Creation Master abilities to increase his own and Yi Huailong's powers to at least pinnacle Immortal even if they could not reach Eternal.

Otherwise, he would seem like a useless Class 5 Creation Master.

Yi Huailong now had complete control over the Yu family. Thus, he no longer needed to be overly considerate of Yu Yihe when he spoke and said straightforwardly, "Yihe, the Divine Wood Federation appears to be at our weakest in the past centuries, but this is only temporary! The Divine Wood Federation will be able to become strong very soon!

"At that time, we'll be able to select Divine Wood Envoys, and the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence selection will be taken seriously instead of just a hoop that all families throw their direct descendants through. A decade later, the Divine Wood Federation will be able to try to send five Divine Wood Envoys to participate in the Major Federation Meeting."

Participating in the Major Federation Meeting was an incredible honor for a small federation like the Divine Wood Federation.

Yu Yihe could tell that Yi Huailong was not overreaching for the sake of pulling wool over his eyes.

With Yi Huailu now a Class 5 Creation Master and the support of Sky Creation, there was no reason for him to put on an act.

Thus, Yi Huailong was talking about the responsibilities he would undertake now that he was the ruler of the Divine Wood Federation.

This set Yu Yihe's passion aflame.

Firstly, Yu Yihe was a native of the Divine Wood Federation. Regardless of whether he was good or evil, he truly hoped that the Divine Wood Federation would be able to thrive. This was part of his sense of belonging to the Divine Wood Federation as a native.

Moreover, for the sake of the Yu family, they would only be able to garner more authority if the Divine Wood Federation became more powerful.

Once the Divine Wood Federation became stronger, they would be able to expand their trade to reach other federations or even the entire main world.

At that time, when the other continents mentioned the Divine Wood Federation and the Yi family, the Yu family that was directly under the Yi family might pop into their minds as well.

This was a prestige that Yu Yihe had always been chasing.

Yu Yihe said to Yi Huailong, "Your Majesty, if you're willing to trust me, why don't you let me handle the rules of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence selection and the reignition of the Divine Wood Envoy selection?"

Yi Huailong could tell that Yu Yihe was taking initiative to alleviate his burdens so he patted Yu Yihe's shoulder.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Remember that this matter is extremely important. How well you do will determine my attitude toward the Yu family in the future."

Soon after Yu Yihe came to see Yi Huailong, the imperial meeting officially began.

Besides Sacred Forest City, all the other City Lords of major cities came to Sacred Forest City because of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. It did not make a difference if the City Lords of smaller cities who could not enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm attended the imperial meeting or not.
