I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

All the gods in the Celestial Empire's world are Celestial Empire soldiers who died in battle.

No one knows what the attitude of the Celestial Empire government and the current emperor is towards him as a living god.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng was already thinking in his heart whether he should go to the government in advance to report his situation.

While Lu Xiangsheng was integrating himself and myself and gaining extraordinary improvement, the dynasty of the Celestial World also gained something.

At least he knew that even if the other selves in different worlds died, their original consciousness could still merge them.

Moreover, it will not be affected by the impact of other people's self-consciousness and emotional cognition.

To some extent, merging the dead self into another is easier and more natural.

Of course, this also has disadvantages, that is, the dead self does not contain soul consciousness. It will only increase the foundation of the body's origin, but not the soul's foundation.

But anyway, this makes it easier to integrate him and me.

If someone had killed Zhu Cilang of this world at the beginning, I am afraid that even with Zhu Cilang's level of supernatural power, he could have easily merged into the world.

Therefore, Wang Chao was thinking whether it would be better to kill him first before merging him with me.

While Zhu Cilang, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others were conquering cities and territories and saving the people in the late Ming Dynasty, the Celestial Empire also began a new round of expansion.

However, this time, it was not the large army that was dispatched as before, but they directly pushed forward towards the surrounding areas.

This time, the dynasty chose to allow the princes and interested princesses to organize their own armies in the form of individual teams to expand the territory.

The places they occupied would become their fiefdoms. Although their military and political systems had to be consistent with those of the Celestial Empire, they would have a high degree of autonomy.

This was not because the dynasty wanted to engage in feudal division.

Rather, it was to train them and experiment with new types of warfare.

Since other worlds have been discovered outside the Celestial Empire, how could the dynasty not have any ideas?

However, given the current situation, sending a large army to other worlds to capture cities and territories is obviously not the best option.

Instead, the best option is to use a relatively personal form and the identity of a god from the upper realm to control power and slowly infiltrate and guide the people of this world to establish a regime affiliated with the Celestial Empire.

The Celestial Empire’s army should serve as the final deterrent.

Therefore, this time, the dynasty did not mobilize the army to conquer other countries, but issued an edict to all princes and princesses.

Anyone who wanted to go further and become a king could go to him to receive an imperial edict and the initial resources for expanding territory, then go to various armies to recruit soldiers and go out to conquer their own fiefdom.

Moreover, this will become a custom. Princes who want to achieve success and be crowned kings need to independently build their own territories.

Otherwise, he would be a prince without power or position for his entire life.

Even if the dynasty abdicated, they had to be crowned kings, and they could only become idle princes with no power and no position.

Of course, since they have established such a vast empire, the dynasty will naturally not be pretentious and force their descendants to start from the bottom and suffer, and then climb up step by step.

However, after they come of age, the dynasty will give them two choices: to stay in the capital and live a life of idleness, or to go out and make achievements.

Needless to say, if they choose the former, the dynasty will certainly not let them starve. With the material resources of the current dynasty, it will not be a problem to support some idle princes.

But when it comes to resource allocation, they are bound to be at the bottom of the pile.

Only by choosing the latter and going out to make achievements can one gain more royal resources.

For example, start-up capital, weapons and equipment, royal title, visiting various armies to select soldiers, recruiting various talents across the country, etc.

Faced with adult choices, as the children of the founding emperor of the dynasty, they naturally would not lack the spirit of bravery and adventure.

When the imperial edict was issued, not only the princes but also the adult princesses all requested permission, expressing their willingness to expand the territory for the Heavenly Dynasty.

By now, the customs of the Celestial Empire have long since changed. Although it cannot be said to be absolute equality between men and women, it is almost the same as that of later generations.

In some aspects, China even has to go a step further.

Such as war

After all, if it were ordinary people, there would be natural differences in physical fitness between men and women, and wars would be dominated by men.

However, for extraordinary people who have mastered supernatural powers, the differences brought about by the body itself can be easily eliminated.

How could a princess who grew up in such an atmosphere not have the courage to be the first and unwilling to lag behind?

And when the imperial edict was truly announced to the whole country, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the Celestial Empire.

A princess could also be crowned a king, which completely broke the traditional tradition since ancient times.

However, if the princess wants to be crowned king, she also needs to occupy her own territory.

Although many civil and military officials, especially some big families, or some scholars expressed dissatisfaction with this order of the dynasty.

However, with the strong deterrence of the dynasty, their dissatisfaction has nothing to do with the overall situation.

In front of them was Zhou Lanying, the commander of the Suzaku Legion, and behind them was the Princess of the Celestial Empire. After the imperial edict was issued, countless women immediately signed up, wanting to serve under the princess.

In 4379, the th year of the Celestial Empire, dozens of adult princes and princesses rushed to various parts of the country, preparing to recruit soldiers and start their own journey to becoming kings.

Watching the dragon auras leaving the capital, Crown Prince Wang Jingchen couldn't help but feel emotional. He didn't know when he would see these brothers and sisters again.

Sensing his emotions, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile and said:

"That's not necessary. With today's transportation and communication, it's easy to travel around the world in a day. Isn't it easy to meet each other?

If it passes through the immortal and dark worlds, it will be seen in a moment."

"Haha, the kid is obsessed."

"This is to train them and prepare them for the conquest of the heavens."

"Ok!"

Wang Jingchen nodded, a look of longing on his face.

Wang Chao had already told him about the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

He even had a spiritual experience.

However, like Wang Chao, there is no incarnation of him in that world.

Therefore, he was also in a strange state in that world. Generally speaking, he could not be seen by others and could not contact other people.

So, after coming down a few times, he no longer comes down.

Wang Chao had discussed the future path with him many times.

The Celestial Empire is above the endless universe, and below it are endless kingdoms that rule over the endless world.

In their imagination, these countries that occupied different worlds were equivalent to states, provinces, capitals and counties with a high degree of autonomy. They had the same military and political system as the Celestial Empire, but were autonomous in details.

And the Celestial Empire is superior to these countries.

This was also the main reason why the dynasty trained the princes and princesses to have the ability to govern the army and government.

In the future, if they encounter more worlds, they will all be sent out of the Celestial Empire to independently manage each world.

However, the universe is so vast.

How can everything be controlled by relying solely on the princes and princesses?

Therefore, the generals, dukes, civil officials and military officers of the Celestial Empire all have the possibility of being crowned kings, descending to the heavens and all realms, and controlling the world.

Therefore, Wang Chao’s words that Wang Dahu and others had the opportunity to become kings were never false.

And when he told Chongzhen that the future direction of the Ming Dynasty depended entirely on the wishes of him and his successor, he was certainly not deceiving him.

If they want, they can also become the Great Ming Kingdom under the rule of the Celestial Empire and rule over the world.

As for whether the princes and princesses will encounter danger when expanding their territory, the dynasty is not worried at all.

If we say that ordinary people of the Celestial Empire can almost reach the peak of Qi training, or even the realm of supernatural powers when they reach adulthood.

Then the people living near the capital, who are occasionally baptized by the power of rules, will definitely be able to reach the realm of supernatural powers.

The princes and princesses living in the palace can at least achieve the state of immortality.

And someone like the prince, when he grows up, he will become a celestial being.

Nowadays, he has already reached the immortal realm and has always been among the top powerful people in the Heavenly Dynasty.

And with the power of the prince and princess at the level of immortality, no one in this world can harm them except the top powerful people who hold high positions in the Heavenly Dynasty.

Therefore, after they received the imperial edict and rushed to various places, the dynasty quickly let them go and resumed the normal pace of handling official business.

Well, most of it is handled by the prince, and he does the subsequent review.

How could the rest of the world remain unaware of such a major move by China?

All of a sudden, the kings and leaders of various countries began to panic, and the wars they had fought against each other in the past all stopped.

Li Zicheng sat on the throne, gazing at the civil and military officials below.

“Now, where do we go from here?”

"."

Everyone was silent.

What can they do when faced with the Celestial Empire, which is full of powerful people and can destroy their country with just a small army?

I'm afraid that even if all the countries in the world were to unite their forces, it would still be difficult to contend with it, right?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zicheng shifted his gaze to the first person on his left.

"Lord Li, Prime Minister Li, what do you think?"

"This"

Li Yan looked up at Li Zicheng on the throne, then turned to look at the other silent civil and military officials, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Li Yan, who followed Li Zicheng in his later years and gave him advice, is now in his seventies or eighties.

It’s just because of his successful practice that he now looks only in his fifties.

Of course, compared with the people of the Celestial Empire, this is not enough.

This is determined by the internal and external environment of the Celestial Empire and the different methods of cultivation.

In the Celestial Empire, the energy of heaven and earth is so rich that even if one does not practice cultivation, one can still live to be a hundred years old.

But how could there be no practitioners in the Celestial Empire?

It can be said that even the most ordinary people, as long as they practice diligently or work hard, can at least reach the realm of supernatural powers and have a lifespan of three hundred years.

A person in his eighties is only equivalent to a young person in his twenties.

After a long silence, seeing that Li Zicheng was staring at him, Li Yan finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, given the current world situation and the strength of the Celestial Empire, we have three options."

"Oh~? Li Aiqing, please tell me quickly, what are the options?"

Upon hearing that Li Yan actually had three paths, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up and he immediately urged him.

Looking at Li Zicheng's excitement, Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He might disappoint His Majesty.

"The first way, and the easiest way, is to submit to the Celestial Empire directly.

With the current size of Dashun's territory, he should at least be able to obtain the title of Duke, right?"

"Submit to the Celestial Empire? Duke?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate commotion among the ministers in the hall. Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the throne, also stopped smiling and became solemn.
