I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 56 Cultivation and Summary, The Three Offices, Uneven Power
Faced with the surging in of various primal spiritual forces, the dynasty naturally accepted them all and absorbed them into its consciousness space.

The negative primal spiritual forces, including the fear generated by the numerous prisoners, were also slowly drawn in by his army's malevolent energy and absorbed into his consciousness space.

However, the dynasty did not immediately strip away the lingering consciousness of these primal spiritual forces and transform them into pure spiritual power.

Instead, they were roughly divided into categories.

He specifically separated a portion of his consciousness regarding the leader's perception and integrated it into the [Leader]'s divine status.

In an instant, the [Leader]'s Heavenly Status erupted with a terrifying suction force, rapidly devouring and merging a large amount of primordial spiritual power containing the Leader's knowledge.

In addition to completely merging into it and enhancing its powerful foundation, it also contains large amounts of pure spiritual power, carrying traces of the power of rules, which continuously flow into the soul of the dynasty.

While continuously strengthening the dynasty's soul, it also imbued the dynasty's soul with a special aura, much like that of the supreme emperor who ruled over all people.

Even though this power wasn't emanating from his body, it made him appear even more dignified.

Feeling his soul rapidly strengthening, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile, his eyes narrowing. He felt he was about to break through.

However, in the end, he suppressed his desire to break through.

There are still many things outside that need his attention.

Post-war debriefing, prisoner treatment, and so on—he is indispensable in all these matters today.

In the future, once his subordinates are more familiar with the situation and he has more talented people, he will naturally be able to free up his hands.

At that time, he only needs to control the overall direction; the specific tasks will naturally be handled by others.

However, before dealing with external affairs, the dynasty still diverted the remaining primordial spiritual power.

Occupying the majority, the spiritual power that arose from the joy and excitement of the people of Bird and Mouse Mountain, and was a blessing and upward force, began to converge towards divine power.

In this process, these primordial spiritual forces begin to be divided and purified.

The lingering consciousness merged with divine power, and was completely crushed and fused with it.

Pure spiritual power is the ocean of spiritual power that slowly rises above the soul.

The remaining small portion, generated by prisoners such as Chen Ying and containing negative emotions such as fear, converged towards the eerie energy below.

Similarly, when they gathered near the eerie aura, they were also divided and purified.

Negative consciousness merges with eerie energy, while pure spiritual power rises into the sea of ​​spiritual power.

After completing these diversions, Wang Chao finally left the consciousness space again.

At this moment, Wang Dahu and the others had all arrived and were sitting quietly on both sides, looking at the majestic Wang Chao at the head of the table.

Upon entering the council hall, they saw Wang Chao sitting solemnly with his eyes closed, seemingly engrossed in some kind of profound meditation.

Therefore, everyone kept quiet, afraid of disturbing Wang Chao's cultivation.

Upon seeing Wang Chao open his eyes, Li Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Chief, have you finished your training?"

"Hmm? Cultivation?"

Wang Chao looked over in surprise.

"Yes, weren't you cultivating just now?"

Li Yu said it as a matter of course.

Wang Dahu and the others all seemed to agree wholeheartedly with this.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chao was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening.

After everyone learned that he had comprehended the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and had helped them integrate their celestial status and supernatural powers.

Everyone probably thinks he must know the methods of cultivation.

His demeanor just now probably appeared to everyone as if he were practicing cultivation.

However, although his practice was different from ordinary cultivation, it didn't seem wrong if it were truly cultivation.

Therefore, the dynasty couldn't help but laugh and say:

"Although there are some differences, if you really want to talk about it, it can be considered a form of cultivation."

At the same time, Wang Chao was also secretly pondering whether he should compile a special cultivation method based on the heavenly status and the characteristics of supernatural powers.

On the other side, after hearing what Wang Chao said, everyone showed an expression of "I knew it."

"So, leader, how is your cultivation progressing?"

"Yes, quite a haul!"

Wang Chao said with a smile, and then spoke again.

"Alright, let's not talk about those things now."

Let's talk about the battle losses first.

"Yes, in this battle, we suffered more than thirty casualties."
Two hundred officers and soldiers were killed in total.
Three hundred and fifty-seven prisoners were captured, along with one trial centurion and two captains.
Weapons confiscated, totaling four hundred knives and guns.

Overall, the dynasty achieved a great victory this time.

However, it also exposed many shortcomings.

In the subsequent post-war debriefing, Wang Dahu, Li Yu, and other officers who had been on the front lines all began to recount the shortcomings of the battle.

"The disparity in strength between our special operations forces and the weak is too great. Often, before those ordinary soldiers even arrive at their destination, those of us with divine status are already facing the end of the battle."
I think we should get all the remaining ordinary soldiers to merge with the Heavenly Rank as soon as possible.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Wang Dahu, Li Shu, and the others widened their eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Listen, listen, is that what people say?
His special operations force already has more than thirty soldiers who have merged with the divine status.

But they are still just one or a handful of people who have merged with the Heavenly Realm.

Even so, you, Li Yu, are still not satisfied.

Although the leader wanted to create a special force, and they approved of it, when the leader would complete the fusion of his celestial and divine status was his own business.

But if you actively ask for it, that won't work.

Unless the leader can also enable his soldiers to merge with the divine status.

Li Yu ignored the gazes of the crowd and looked at Wang Chao expectantly.

You can only be envious; you can't have it if you're just envious.

"Hmm, don't worry, it should be soon."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile.

He wasn't wrong.

He felt that after this breakthrough in his soul, he would inevitably undergo a transformation. While it might not completely resolve the issue of his insufficient Heavenly Rank, it would certainly greatly alleviate it.

"Alright, let's continue summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of this battle."

"Yes, I think we can definitely take the elite soldier route and build an army where all soldiers possess supernatural powers."
At that time, implementing a decapitation strategy will surely be invincible.

Li Yu spoke first once again.

Thinking back to the initial battle with the government troops, when they actually dispersed their forces to pursue all the fleeing soldiers, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"Also, we shouldn't have pursued all the fleeing soldiers back then. Instead, we should have concentrated our forces and attacked the camp of the government troops' commander, Chen."

If we could have killed or captured him, we could have decided the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop.”

In that case, wouldn't all the tremendous credit fall on his head?
"Yes, that is something we need to be careful about, especially when we are outnumbered but our combat strength far surpasses that of our opponents."

We should either tear apart the enemy's defenses, or directly attack the enemy's commander, or charge back and forth.

However, the attack should not be dispersed.

After another round of heated discussion and debriefing, the post-war debriefing gradually came to an end.

Finally, Wang Chao said again:

"In order to make our team more organized and operate more effectively."

Therefore, I decided to establish three departments.

First, there's the Military Merit Division, which is mainly responsible for recording and compiling combat merits, and then reporting them to me.
For now, Chief of Staff Wang Sanshun will temporarily serve as the head of the department, assisted by Clerk Zhou Wen. The position will be handed over after a suitable candidate is found.

Secondly, there is the Military Discipline Division, which is mainly responsible for military discipline. From now on, soldiers and officers who violate military law shall not be dealt with arbitrarily on their own, but shall be handed over to the Military Discipline Division for trial and sentencing.
I will temporarily take charge of this matter;

Finally, there is the Military Intelligence Division, which is mainly responsible for the investigation and collection of military intelligence.
The head of the Military Intelligence Division was appointed by Li Hei.

When Wang Chao finished speaking, he looked directly at the outermost seats in the council hall.

Upon seeing this, everyone turned their heads to look in that direction, where a small, thin figure was sitting.

He sat in the very back corner, silent and still, as if he didn't exist.

If the dynasty hadn't mentioned him, none of them would have noticed that there was someone here who didn't belong to the original core leadership.

Li Hei, originally from Li Family Village, was usually taciturn, very unsociable, and had little presence.

Even when he is with other people, they often ignore him.

However, Li Hei seemed quite unfazed by this, even enjoying it somewhat, as if he were detached from the world, observing the words and actions of those around him, watching the drama unfold.

At the same time, he was the one who fainted from hunger during the attack on Wu Family Village and was almost treated as a dead man.

It was Wang Chao who discovered him in time and ultimately saved him.

From then on, he was extremely grateful to the dynasty and would often hang around in front of him when he had nothing to do. He would also do his best to complete the tasks assigned by the dynasty.

In fact, during regular military training, aside from Li Yu always being the first to finish, it was actually the smallest and thinnest Li Hei who subtly outperformed the others.

It was precisely because of his character and loyalty to the dynasty that the dynasty appointed him as the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

As the head of intelligence agencies, you don't need to be eloquent; you just need to be observant and analytical.
The rest is simply reporting the facts.

And most importantly, of course, is loyalty to those in power.

If the head of intelligence betrays the organization, it will be a devastating blow to any organization.

And right now, Li Hei basically has all the necessary conditions.

Perhaps he cannot yet be considered a qualified intelligence worker.

However, he possesses the most important foundation, and with the necessary learning and training, he can naturally become a qualified intelligence officer.

Most importantly, the dynasty planned to develop corresponding supernatural powers for itself and its intelligence personnel.

Examples include invisibility, soul-tracking, spirit-capturing, and the ability to see through objects.

With these supernatural abilities, a large number of qualified intelligence personnel can be obtained with just a little training.

After introducing the three newly established departments, Wang Chao glanced at the sky, which was already close to four in the morning, and then told everyone to go and rest.

Stepping out of the council hall, Wang Chao surveyed Bird and Mouse Mountain. The spiritual energy field that had enveloped the entire mountain had gradually subsided and dissipated as everyone's excitement grew.

As for the military's malevolent aura and spiritual power within, those have naturally been completely absorbed by the dynasty.

After returning to his residence and lying in bed, Wang Chao immediately re-entered his consciousness space.

At this moment, all the primordial spiritual forces in the space of consciousness have been separated.

The sea of ​​spiritual power above has grown dozens of times stronger. If used to condense celestial and divine power projections, it would be enough to condense hundreds of them, which would allow all of Li Yu's sentry soldiers to fuse with celestial and divine power.

The divine power and eerie energy below were also greatly amplified.

However, the greatest increase in divine power was only a doubling.

As for the eerie energy at the bottom, it has only increased by one-tenth, and now it looks less than half of the divine power, firmly shrouded and suppressed by the divine power.
