"I've discussed a plan with the head of the Chu family. We will reference the system from the Era of the Human Sovereign, maintaining the autonomy of the Four Families, with the Ji family as the leader, to establish a quasi-imperial system. The Four Families will serve as the Four Pillars of the Imperial Garden, inheriting the ancient legacy. What do you think?"

Li Shuangjin, with his towering Sky-Reaching form, sat on a high chair and spoke with a firm tone. Clearly, this was the bottom line for the Four Families, non-negotiable.

The Four Families, inheritors of the Four Pillars from the Era of the Human Sovereign, have experienced a golden age. Although they can't advance further, they must not decline under their watch.

A once-glorious family, if balanced by others and its autonomy controlled, is often on the path to decline. The leaders responsible for this decline will be hated by future generations and seen as a disgrace.
