Super God: Kissing an Angel at the Beginning, Building an Empire

In the center of the Yilan Starfield, a virtual universe core device, comparable in size to a galaxy, slowly began to operate.

The surface of the device is covered with energy patterns representing the three civilizations of Yanhuang, Angels, and Demons. The three colors of light flash alternately, symbolizing the deep integration of the three civilizations.

This will be the birthplace of the new order.

Inside the bridge of the Ziwei Palace flagship, Ye Chen stood in front of the star map, his gaze sweeping over the dense array of fleet markings.

The entire Yilan star system was heavily surrounded, with tens of thousands of warships floating in the void, each representing the absolute military power of the Yanhuang Empire.

"Your Majesty, all fleets in each star region have arrived at their designated positions."

Yuan Lan's projection appeared beside Ye Chen, reporting on the preparations.

"The angelic and demonic delegations from the Celestial Court of Merlo have entered the inner space through the core of the virtual universe. Keisha and Liang Bing are waiting for your arrival."

Ye Chen nodded and turned to face the main control panel on the bridge.

"Empress Nuwa, how are the preparations for the Fusion Ceremony going?"

"Your Majesty, all systems have completed the final testing."

Nuwa's voice rang out from inside the bridge, carrying a hint of barely concealed excitement.

"The integration of Keisha Knowledge Treasury, Nuwa System, and Little Clock has reached 92%, and a new joint computing core is about to be launched."

"The real-time communication network of major star regions in the universe has been established, and today's fusion ceremony will be broadcast live to the entire known universe."

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.

This grand ceremony was not only a ritual to unite three civilizations, but also a momentous occasion to announce the birth of a new order to the entire universe.

From this day forward, there will be only one voice in the known universe, and that is the voice of the Yanhuang Empire.

"Achen."

Ah-Zhui walked out from behind the bridge, wearing a gorgeous dress designed specifically for today.

The silver-white fabric was embroidered with the totem of the Yanhuang Empire, and the Purple Star badge representing the emperor and empress was worn on her chest.

"Qingxian is getting impatient waiting in the virtual universe. She just urged you to hurry up and come over through the communication system."

A-Zhui walked to Ye Chen's side and reached out to straighten the collar of his imperial robes.

"This ceremony is of great significance to her, after all, she will be the successor of the new order."

Ye Chen chuckled and reached out to hold A-Zhui's hand.

"Let's go together; it's time for the universe to witness a true new era."

The two walked side by side toward the teleportation device at the back of the bridge.

As spatial fluctuations flashed by, their figures disappeared from the Ziwei Palace and were directly teleported to the inner space of the virtual universe core.

Inside the core of the virtual universe is an incomparably magnificent hall.

The design of the main hall blends the oriental charm of the Yanhuang Empire with the sacred aesthetics of the Angelic Civilization, possessing both the majestic grandeur of dragons and phoenixes and the solemnity of light and purity.

As for the devil's style, sorry, it's already good enough that we can play with them.

Originally, Ye Chen and Keisha did not plan to bring demons to this grand ceremony.

If Liang Bing hadn't argued her case so strongly, the demons wouldn't have had a chance to participate in this grand ceremony.

In the center of the main hall was a huge circular platform, around which countless viewing platforms floated, each occupied by star lords and important officials from various star regions of the Yanhuang Empire.

Holy Keisha, dressed in the robes of an angel king, and Liang Bing, dressed in the distinctive attire of a demon queen, stood in the VIP section of the platform.

Behind her were high-ranking guards from angelic and demonic civilizations, each with a complex expression on their face.

There was resentment, there was anticipation, but more than anything, there was anxiety about the future.

At the platform center stood the core officials of the Yanhuang Empire. Yuan Lan, as the chief secretary-general, stood at the forefront, with the commanders of the various legions and the deans of the academies behind her.

At the highest point of the platform, on the throne, a young girl in a gorgeous dress was idly fiddling with dimensional particles in her hand.

It was Ye Qingxian.

Although she looked young, the energy emanating from her drew the attention of everyone present.

This is the legendary Phoenix Star Body, a dimensional body, a super physique born with ultimate power.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen and A-Zhui appear, Ye Qingxian immediately jumped up from her throne and waved excitedly.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting so long!"

As soon as Ye Qingxian finished speaking, everyone in the entire hall stood up and bowed.

"See the Emperor!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress!"

The shouts echoed throughout the hall, their force deafening.

Ye Chen slowly walked towards the center of the platform, each step landing on an energy node in the virtual space, causing ripples in the space.

As he walked to the center of the platform, the entire computing core of the virtual universe began to resonate, emitting a low hum.

"Today is the most important day in the history of the Yanhuang Empire."

Ye Chen's voice, transmitted through the virtual universe system, reached every corner of the known universe.

Whether in the core star system of the Yanhuang Empire or in the newly conquered border star system, everyone could clearly hear this voice.

"From today onwards, the Angel Civilization and the Demon Civilization will be officially incorporated into the Yanhuang Empire, becoming an important member of our big family."

"This is not conquest, but integration."

"This is not destruction, but rebirth."

Ye Chen's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, finally landing on Angel Yan.

"Angel Yan."

Angel Yan, whose name was called, took a deep breath, stepped to the center of the platform, and knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Chen.

"My subordinate is here."

"From this day forward, you will serve as the supreme commander of the Angel Legion of the Yanhuang Empire, leading all angel warriors."

Ye Chen reached out and made a gesture in the air, and a scepter made of pure energy appeared in his hand.

The scepter is inlaid with sacred gems representing the angelic civilization, but the shaft itself is in the traditional style of the Yanhuang Empire.

"This is the Commander's Scepter of the Angel Legion. It will be a symbol of your identity and a testament to your responsibilities."

Angel Yan received the scepter with both hands, feeling the immense energy contained within it.

This energy comes not only from the Yanhuang Empire, but also from the knowledge treasury of the Angel Civilization.

The two forces are perfectly fused in the scepter, symbolizing a brand new chapter about to begin for both civilizations.

"Your subordinate swears to faithfully fulfill his duties, expand the empire's territory, and bring true peace to the universe!"

Angel Yan's voice was powerful and resonant, echoing throughout the hall.

The angel warriors below the stage were almost overflowing with complex emotions upon seeing this scene.

But in the end, he suppressed his resentment; there was nothing to say about being less skilled than others.

Moreover, their king has made a choice, and they will follow that choice and fight for a new civilization.

"very good."

Ye Chen then similarly bestowed a scepter and a title upon the demon Xue Yi.

Finally, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and then turned in another direction.

"Ye Qingxian".

Ye Qingxian, who was excitedly watching the ceremony, heard her father call her and immediately put away her playful thoughts, walking seriously to Ye Chen.

Although she is usually lively and active, she still manages to display the necessary dignity and maturity in such formal occasions.

"Father."

"From this day forward, you will be the new Crown Prince of the Yanhuang Empire, and also the inheritor of the new order." Ye Chen's voice became exceptionally solemn, as he spoke in his dual capacity as a father and emperor.

"You will shoulder the important responsibility of connecting civilizations across the universe and ensuring the stable development of the new order after the integration."

Although Ye Qingxian was still young, she clearly understood the weight of this responsibility.

"Father, rest assured, Qingxian will never let you down!"

Although Ye Qingxian's answer was brief, the unwavering determination it contained moved everyone present.

This little girl is already showing signs of imperial bearing.

"Empress Nuwa, initiate the final stage of the fusion process."

Ye Chen spoke to the void.

"Yes, Emperor."

Nuwa's voice rang out, and then the core of the entire virtual universe began to tremble violently.

The dome of the main hall slowly opened, revealing the starry sky outside.

Countless golden and dark gold beams of light shot out from the core of the virtual universe in all directions, illuminating the entire Yilan Galaxy as if it were daytime.

These beams of light are not merely a visual effect; they represent the complete fusion of two civilizations' knowledge systems.

Each beam of light carries a massive amount of information, spreading new technological standards and management systems to every corner of the universe.

"Fusion completion rate: 95%... 98%... 100%!"

"Successful fusion!"

As Nuwa made her announcement, the entire universe seemed to cheer for this historic moment.

Three days after the grand integration ceremony, the various departments of the Yanhuang Empire began their intensive integration work.

Ye Chen sat in the Imperial Study of Ziwei Palace, with a thick stack of reports and documents in front of him.

These are integration progress reports submitted by the governors of various star systems and the commanders of the legions.

"Your Majesty, according to the latest statistics, the reorganization of the Angel Legion is 70% complete."

Yuan Lan stood beside the desk, holding a detailed data report in her hand.

"All three thousand senior guards of the original Angel Civilization have accepted the military rank system of the Yanhuang Empire, and more than 80% of them have expressed their willingness to continue to serve the Empire."

What about the remaining 20%?

Ye Chen asked without looking up, his pen rapidly annotating the document with various instructions.

"Most of them chose to retire and apply to transfer to the civil affairs department or scientific research institutions."

Yuan Lan's voice was somewhat hesitant, "But there are also a few die-hards who seem to still have resistance to the integration policy."

Ye Chen put down his pen and looked up at Yuan Lan.

"How many people are there exactly?"

“Thirteen high-ranking guards, led by a veteran angel named Aonia Hiss.”

Yuan Lan flipped through the documents in his hand. "According to Angel Yan's report, this Aonia Hiss was one of Queen Keisha's earliest followers. She is very senior and has a certain influence in the Angel Civilization."

What are they doing now?

Ye Chen picked up his pen again and signed a document about interstellar trade.

He was not surprised by this small-scale opposition.

The integration of any civilization can never be 100% smooth; there will always be some conservatives who try to obstruct change.

"According to Shadow Guard intelligence, they are secretly contacting some retired angel warriors, seemingly wanting to form some kind of underground organization."

Yuan Lan's tone became more cautious, "However, there has been no substantial action yet; they are only spreading some discontent with the integration policy."

Ye Chen nodded and put the documents in his hand aside.

"Let Angel Yan handle this matter. Give her a month."

"If she can convince these people to accept reality, that would be best."

"If we can't convince them..."

Ye Chen didn't finish his sentence, but Yuan Lan already understood what he meant.

An empire may tolerate dissenting voices, but it will never tolerate actions that undermine unity.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Just as the two were discussing government affairs, the door to the imperial study was suddenly pushed open.

Ye Qingxian rushed in with an excited expression on her face.

"Father! A great discovery has been made!"

Looking at his daughter's energetic and impulsive manner, Ye Chen rubbed his temples with a headache.

"What's wrong now? Shouldn't you be in class at the military academy?"

"The classes are so boring, they're all just basic tactical theories, I already know them."

Ye Qingxian waved her hand dismissively, then excitedly said, "I found something incredibly interesting in the Angel Knowledge Treasury!"

"what?"

Yuan Lan asked curiously.

As the Empire's chief secretary, she was extremely sensitive to any information that could potentially affect the Empire's development.

"A technology called 'time anchor'!"

Ye Qingxian's eyes gleamed with excitement. "According to records, this is a spacetime stabilization technology that Tianji King Hexi researched thousands of years ago."

"It is possible to lock the flow of time within a specific area, creating a difference between the flow of time within that area and the outside world!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression instantly turned serious.

Time manipulation technology is definitely a strategic-level technological achievement.

If this technology can be successfully mastered, the scientific research capabilities of the Yanhuang Empire will experience a qualitative leap.

What are the specific technical principles behind this?

"We use dark energy to fine-tune the spacetime structure, and then use a special energy field to maintain stability."

"He Xi said that the inspiration came from the Time Corridor."

Ye Qingxian tried hard to recall the information she had just seen.
“Back then, He Xi only did some theoretical research and never actually put it into practice.”

Ye Chen began to quickly consider the application prospects of this technology.

If this time-anchoring technology could be improved to extend its scope to the planetary or even star system level, then the Empire would be able to establish a research base for time acceleration.

Within these bases, scientists can conduct research at a rate tens or even hundreds of times faster than outside, greatly shortening the cycle of technological development.

"Qingxian, you did a great job."

Ye Chen looked at his daughter approvingly, "This discovery is of great significance to the empire."

"Yuan Lan, contact the Academy of Sciences immediately and have them form a special research team to study this time anchor technology with all their might."

"At the same time, the Ministry of Finance was notified to allocate the highest level of research funding for this project."

Yuan Lan nodded quickly and jotted down the instruction in her notebook.

"In addition, Qingxian can reduce some of her coursework and spend more time on dimensional research."

Ye Chen turned to his daughter and said, "Your talent and physique are very suitable for this, which is much more useful than sitting in a classroom listening to those teachers lecture."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxian jumped up with joy.

"Great! I always thought those courses were too easy!"

"However, you can't let this make you slack off in your training," Ye Chen reminded him seriously.

"Understood, Father!" (End of Chapter)
