    Technically abdication is the king and queen saying they retire, possibly in favor of someone in particular who has their endorsement for the throne, if the 1st heir = crown prince/princess then generally an easy transition. Although unless a son or daughter takes over and they retire to a type of happy advisor status most deposed kings and queens end up getting the chop or else later on leading a revolution to put themselves back on the thrown.

    "Because these are chaotic times. Kings and Queens come and go and if we want for house Ernas to outlive them we need power. Why do you think I was so eager to adopt the girls? I wouldn't be surprised if the Court forced the current royals to abdicate. They have made too big of a mess."

    doesn't they mean impressively damaged and still recovering spiritual power?

    Compressing energy wasn't an easy task, especially when it was about compressing the energy of three imperial level formidable warriors. Despite the Profound Insight being the main component and the unknown concept helping it, each second of the compression would cause a backlash towards Ling Lan's body and mind. Luckily, Ling Lan's endurance had already reached a godly state. If she were to deem herself as second in the world in terms of endurance, no one would definitely dare to proclaim themselves as number one. Additionally, with Ling Lan impressive spiritual power, she was able to endure it all while still conscious.

    my suspicions of an extra-dimensional invasion via the 'system' is increasing,

    It was so easy that it seemed to be a freely given reward.

    Is our MC an unwitting front man of an extra dimensional invasion?

    He quickly shot a look at the six escorts, who were riding on their horses. All of them got off their horses and bowed respectfully, saying, "Revered Lord of Swadia, we are a trade caravan from Reyvadin. We hereby offer our sincerest respect to you."

    Perhaps they fear another lord is making a move. Meaning our poor ingoramus of a lord isn't the only pawn owner in this brave new world!

    Despite being of the same nation, Swadians fought among each other time and again.

    The author keeps hinting that the Flash looks up to Batman. Does that mean his secondary personality that lets him rain his pain down on the Joker is... Robin? Remember this is a 'secondary' personality, one that's not a 'super hero'. Secondary = sidekick? And I'd swear Robin had no powers.

    A user base that can't read can't use the internet. Have to spread free education

    "Second. The Queville Empire has to fully implement free and compulsory basic literacy education from today onwards. Every administrative region, including villages that only have one inhabitant, have to set up free schools with a minimum of one teacher to teach literary skills. You have to complete setting up the schools within one year.

    That's fair, most of its going to him and they are teaching him when literally no one else would take him.

    However, it couldn't be helped. Since he wanted to develop the sect, he had to spend a lot of money on it. The person who painted that painting was Ye Ping who was extremely talented too. Hence, he spent most of the money on Ye Ping and allowed the other disciples to benefit a little from it.

    He thought too much!

    'Perhaps, that sect seemed to be a substandard one on the surface, but in fact, it's a hidden sect that's full of experts who could easily lead me to ascension.'

    I actually like this rule.

    "Remember, no mage can be forced to share their spells or discoveries in the magic field. Not even the King himself can openly violate this rule. But what you keep for yourself has no worth for society, hence it gives you no merits.

    It brings back to mind the scene where Li Changshou was being struck by heavenly punishment lightning as the great Dao Ancestor scolded him. Why is it only 98% certainty of passing this tribulation, why not 100%. Why not 100%!!!

    However, as he continued to create paper effigies, Li Changshou could vaguely sense that if more than nine Golden Immortal realm paper effigies existed at the same time, the Heavenly Punishment would descend, and it would be even more ferocious than before.

    I'd say screw you VP and go market myself to a private guild. I'm sure they'd upgrade sister's hospital bed/account easily.

    Indeed showing why he is a saint and the 'Sea God' is only a disciple. The disciple works diligently to avoid Karma while the Saint works hard to avoid Merit.

    When he was becoming a Saint, he was only short of a chance to become a Saint. He had the merit of establishing Ren School. The Heavenly Dao had given him too much. He did not want to be tainted by the merit, so he injected most of the merit from becoming a Saint into the pagoda.

    What disciple wouldn't want to be friends with an empty headed muscle head who puts their immortal masters in a state of fear and terror?

    On the Carefree Immortal Sect's side, the disciples did not have much of a reaction. There were a few female disciples who looked reluctant to leave. However, the Heaven Immortal realm elders who had come to that place revealed smiles of joy and relief.

    He must yoke the luck and destiny of the magi-humans to his steady harness. After all he has a duty as a grifter... I mean sea god to look after his own.

    If he brought Xiong Lingli back to the sect and trained her carefully, Xiong Lingli might be able to carry Little Qiong Peak and run away at critical junctures.

    In other words I am confident that 100% of what an immortal could possibly do has been covered, but out of my great respect for the heavenly dao and the great dao I bow my head at possibilities I can't imagine.

    The other two percent that he was not confident about was because she might escape with the Great Dao, and also because of the uncertainty of the Heavenly Dao.

    An unorthodox master of the sect's steady soft style, who uses the massive force of his opponents Karma to redirect it to... someone else!
