Meanwhile, the version of George in the Harry Potter world was also preparing to make his move.
In accordance with his previously established plan, George had successfully utilized Voldemort to incite a war between wizards and ordinary humans that engulfed the entire planet.
This war completely exposed the wizarding community to the eyes of humanity; no longer were they synonymous with mystery.
However, this war did not last long before it was utterly dismantled by George's absolute, crushing power. He used this opportunity to purge all extremist wizards like Voldemort, as well as the extremist high-ranking officials within the various human governments.
Ultimately, relying on his immense prestige and power that no one could resist, he successfully established the First Magic Empire, unifying the entire Earth, and ascended the throne as the first Magic Emperor.
After his coronation, he disseminated a modified meditation technique.
From that point on, aside from wizards born with magical bloodlines, ordinary people could also acquire magical power through meditation, thereby gaining the ability to learn magic.
It was just that wizards born with the bloodline held a slight advantage in terms of magical potential.
But this was not a significant issue.
As ordinary humans and wizards intermarried in large numbers, the probability of humans possessing the wizarding bloodline appearing in the future would naturally increase significantly.
At the same time, George did not impede the research and development of technology.
The current world of Harry Potter was one where technology and magic coexisted. Magic, much like technology, had integrated into millions of households and into the daily life of every individual.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was no longer known by that name; instead, it had been renamed the Hogwarts School of Magic and Technology.
Similar magic and technology academies were blossoming everywhere across the globe.
In the First Magic Empire, within a golden palace suspended high in the sky, George sat dignified upon the towering Emperor's throne.
To his left stood the ministers of the wizarding faction, led by Dumbledore and Grindelwald. To his right were the ministers of the right wing, dominated by the newly elected leaders of various nations.
The originally imprisoned Grindelwald had been released by George, and his body had been fully healed.
The purpose, naturally, was to have him coordinate with Dumbledore to better manage the wizards of this new empire.
"Regarding the education of meditation techniques, it has currently been popularized in every school. However, for the practical study of magic, guidance from experienced wizards is still required."
"We have already drafted a sufficient number of wizards eligible to serve as teachers; they will be able to assume their posts within the next few days."
"The popularization of technology among the wizarding population has already achieved initial results."
"The plan to encourage marriage between wizards and ordinary citizens, and to promote higher birth rates, has been finalized."
After the ministers from both sides reported their items one by one, George made a few adjustments and then waved his hand as usual:
"Alright, that is all for today. If there is nothing else to report, the court is dismissed."
For him, dealing with these imperial affairs was actually quite a waste of time.
Fortunately, he could use clones. Basically, these trivial matters were handled by his clones, while his main body spent the year researching and collecting various ancient magics.
The greatest benefit of establishing the empire was that, by relying on the power of the masses, he had collected every spell from ancient times to the present.
This led to a major breakthrough in his research into the magic of this world.
This was also one of the reasons his Small World could be perfected so quickly and advance to the Universal Level.
In just a few short years, advancing from the Skyfather Level to the Universal Level was possible because his main body and the clones in various worlds were constantly learning knowledge and improving themselves.
It was precisely because he had basically mastered all the magic in this world and acquired all available resources that he had to decide how to continue improving this clone.
He could either find the Creator and communicate as he did with Ilúvatar, or devour this world and merge it into his own.
Regardless of which option he chose, he had to first make contact with this world's Creator before deciding.
As for encountering the irritable kind who might want to kill or expel him, based on his previous speculations, he felt the probability was extremely low.
After court was dismissed this time, he would attempt to enter the River of Time to search for the Creator's residence.
"Your Majesty, this subject has a proposal!"
Just as George was preparing to leave, the head of the ministers on the right, a leader originally from the Asian nation of Huaxia, stepped forward to the center.
"Speak."
George nodded.
As someone who was Chinese in his past life, he naturally prioritized selecting Chinese people for human leadership roles, as it made communication easier.
The old man first coughed, then said:
"Your Majesty toils over state affairs daily, managing ten thousand matters a day. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are at peace, living and working in contentment, this subject feels Your Majesty ought to extend the imperial lineage, selecting heirs to inherit the great rule.
"However, Your Majesty remains unmarried to this day.
"Therefore, this subject proposes that the urgent matter at hand should be to select an Empress and concubines for Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, the ministers immediately nodded in agreement one after another.
Who was relied upon for the establishment of the First Magic Empire? Naturally, it was George.
If George were not present, and without George's deterrence, the empire would not be as peaceful and prosperous as it is now; chaos would inevitably arise.
But they felt that although George was the most powerful wizard in the world, his lifespan would be at most two or three hundred years.
Once George passed away, the era of peace and prosperity that was so hard to form would crumble in no time.
For this situation, from ancient times to the present, both domestically and abroad, there were similar methods to solve it.
That was to let the Emperor marry many wives and have many children.
As long as there were children excellent enough to inherit the throne, and loyal ministers to support them, the empire would not face major problems.
"It seems this model of mine isn't always that great."
Hearing the ministers below stepping forward one after another to urge him to marry and have children, George couldn't help but rub his forehead.
The reason he established the outdated imperial system back then, rather than a federation or parliament or the like, was mainly for the unification of political power, ensuring that whatever he said was law, and whatever decision he made had to be executed immediately by those below.
Otherwise, heads would roll.
But adopting this system naturally came with corresponding problems.
"This clone has also reached adulthood; it's not impossible."
On second thought, George felt this wasn't a major issue. As an Emperor, marrying a few wives and having a few children wasn't a big deal.
Anyway, if the clones merged in the future, the main body and the spouses of the various clones wouldn't be in the same universe regardless.
"However, before that, let's figure out the situation with this world's Creator first."
Raising his hand to signal the ministers below to be quiet, George nodded and said:
"Agreed. You all select a batch of candidates first, and I will make my choice from among them."
A global pre-selection definitely wouldn't be that fast. By the time the pre-selection was done, he would have already figured out the situation with this world's Creator.
The Chaos was dangerous. He didn't plan to let the clone leave for the time being. Getting married, having children, and continuing to manage this empire wasn't a bad idea.
If there was a problem with this world's Creator, he would have time to deal with it then.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Having received George's permission, the ministers retreated from court in an orderly fashion, then used Portkeys to leave the palace and began preparing for the grand event of the global pre-selection.
Meanwhile, George also expanded his power and began to search for traces of the Creator.
