However, despite his thoughts, Huo Ling still didn't dare to speak.

After all, he didn't make any great contributions to Daxia like other dukes.

It would be fine if he got the title of duke because of his improved strength, but if he chose the title of duke of a great country, others would have objections.

Huo Ling bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand the title of duke, and I don't dare to accept it because I haven't made any contributions."

As Huo Ling spoke, the attendant also struck the jade chime beside him at the right time, and a crisp sound spread throughout the hall, and the discussion in the hall stopped.

Of course, Li Yi heard what Huo Ling said. He nodded and said:

"No problem. I said at the beginning of the founding of the country that whoever is promoted to the Legend of Huiyue will be conferred the title of Duke. Whoever can become the Sun before me, I am willing to give him the throne of the Emperor of Heaven."

"So, if you break through to Huiyue, you can be conferred the title of Duke!"

"But you said you don't understand the title, so who, Chang Wu, you tell me what title he should choose!" Li Yi looked around and set his sights on Chang Wu, the Duke of England.

He readily gave this task to Chang Wu.

Duke of Ying, Chang Wu, smiled helplessly, and then sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Your Majesty, there are other titles of great powers, such as Qin, Qi, Wei, Chen, Lu, Chu, Jing, and Yue, which are all suitable for the Marquis of Donghe."

"In addition, Lord Huo Ling is from Tiannan Province and currently resides in Tiannan. He can also be given the four titles of Zhengnan, Zhennan, Pingnan, and Annan based on Tiannan, but these titles are only sub-national titles..."

Li Yi nodded and said, "You know more, Huo Ling. What do you think? Which one do you like?"

Huo Ling was a little confused when he saw this question thrown to him again.

How to choose? The title of great power, each of these titles is better than the titles of the previous predecessors. They are all great powers, and they are ranked high.

If I am given the title of a great power, I feel that I am ranked ahead of other dukes.

As for the sub-national title based on Tiannan Province, this one is suitable.

Anyway, they are all dukes, and he is also a younger brother of nine kingdoms, so he can be a secondary kingdom.

But why did the secondary kingdom also involve the conquest of peace? Did Chang Wu do it intentionally or accidentally?

Among the official positions in Daxia, there are four generals of conquest, four generals of town, four generals of peace, and four generals of peace.

However, these generals are not permanent, and they will only be established during large-scale wars.

Now Huo Ling heard that in the spirit world, there are generals of the conquest of the north and the conquest of the west.

Huo Ling thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a decision, so he said honestly: "Your Majesty, I think the title of Second State is good. Please make the decision on which one to choose."

Li Yi smiled and said: "You are a sly boy. I want to see what expressions the old guys will have after you are named Duke of Qin."

Huo Ling smiled awkwardly and said: "All the Dukes are seniors, and I have not made any achievements. Second State Duke is good."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Second State is Second State, just call it Zhengnan Duke, anyway, I'll just give you a transition. When we fight the God of Sunset, you can go with me. You'll be a general in the Southern Expedition. You'll have made merit after the battle, and I'll give you a title of a great country!"

Huo Ling felt a little bitter, but his face remained happy. He bowed and said, "I'm waiting for your majesty's call at any time!"

The God of Sunset is at least a god with medium divine power, more than 20 legendary levels. In the kingdom of God, it's definitely a day-level combat power.

And Li Yi hasn't reached the day-level level yet. If they fight, it will be a tough battle.

Although Huo Ling slaughtered gods like killing chickens in the Hemer plane, there is still a big difference between this kind of secondary plane god and the true god in the spirit world.

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Draft an edict to promote Donghe Hou Huo Ling to the Duke of the Southern Expedition!"

The attendants were busy drafting the edict.

Huo Ling bowed and saluted: "I, Huo Ling, accept the order. Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"

Soon, a team of attendants who had been prepared outside the hall came to Huo Ling with a bunch of formal clothes, accessories and other things that only dukes can use.

After Huo Ling changed in the side hall, he returned to the hall under the guidance of the attendant.

At this time, his position has taken another step forward.

This is just a small step for Huo Ling, but it is a big step in terms of title.

From Marquis to Duke, this is a big threshold that many people in Daxia have never crossed for hundreds of years.

...

The court meeting ended quickly.

Before leaving, the attendant came to invitePlease Huo Ling, Li Yi wants to talk to Huo Ling.

After passing through the deep palace, Huo Ling looked up and found that the place was different from the previous times he met Li Yi.

Entering the palace, Huo Ling was still a little disappointed.

The previous two times Huo Ling came to see Li Yi, he ate so much that his throat was blocked.

Huo Ling thought that he would have something to eat this time, but this time he changed his seat and came to a study.

It was bland, really bland.

I want to eat imperial food!

Of course, these things were just Huo Ling's thoughts. It was inappropriate for him to really say them out loud.

Li Yi was holding a scroll in his hand and reading it. When he saw Huo Ling coming, he pointed casually and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huo Ling was also familiar with it. He knew that Li Yi didn't care about these red tapes, so he sat down directly.

At this time, Huo Ling also found that there were no other attendants in this palace.

At this time, Huo Ling knew that this time Li Yi was probably going to talk to him about something really important.

He sat up straight silently, waiting for Li Yi to speak.

After a long while, Li Yi put away the scroll in his hand. He looked at Huo Ling and said, "This is the information sent by Duke Zhao in the spiritual army. The matter is quite important. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Huo Ling hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's my honor."

Li Yi did not continue to extend this topic. He was not the kind of person who deliberately put on airs. Meeting Huo Ling was as important as reading the news sent back by Duke Zhao.

Li Yi looked at Huo Ling and smiled, "You killed the gods? No, you slaughtered the gods?"

Huo Ling nodded slightly. He did not ask how Li Yi knew this. After all, his army had already returned to the spiritual world.

He could not hide what he had done in the Hemel plane, nor did he need to hide it, so the news that he had conquered the Hemel plane had already spread.

Huo Ling said: "Your Majesty has a keen eye. I did kill a god in the secondary plane."
