You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Although we have experienced the once-a-decade Heavenly Descent Festival, today is different.

The fishing lights along the shore have just weathered a difficult period, standing strong after the baptism of war, resilient and poised for transformation. Could the "fishing lights," a symbol of peaceful and prosperous life, not also represent a "rebirth" and a resurgence?

People looked at the graceful figure in the sacrificial robes with deep emotion.

Many of the local residents were actually the people who were supposed to be pioneers in the land reclamation effort; they were enterprising, brave, knowledgeable, and hardworking.

The city wall was built brick by brick, every detail still vivid in my mind. Precisely because they were among the most enterprising people of the Great Qian Dynasty, Feng Tianyin could not discourage the pioneers; she had to instill their faith in them.

Climb to a high place.

The girl who had reached the top of the platform was bathed in spiritual energy. Her gray hair fluttered gracefully, and a long wind carried the scent of sandalwood. The smoke added to her ethereal beauty.

Bayar, standing beside him, had already set up the altar.

She and a group of priests stood respectfully on one side, while the officials stood on the other.

Everyone held their breath as Feng Tianyin arrived in the center.

Although the process is complicated, it is actually a set of rituals that have evolved, been modified and formalized over many years in the Daqian culture. The upper class truly understands that the high priest is actually much closer to the Dao of Heaven than people imagine.

Like this moment.

All Feng Tianyin did was sit in the center of the altar, clasp her hands together, and chant incantations. She didn't need any external objects. As she chanted, a wisp of golden auspicious cloud descended from the sky.

There's no need for all those complicated formalities; it's just a procedure. In reality, most of the time, requests are readily granted.

The title of "Son of Heaven" is not just a figurehead; it is the real deal.

Even if it wasn't as magnificent as the Heavenly Dao Festival, it was still quite magnificent.

In that instant, Feng Tianyin's spiritual energy surged dramatically, and in a daze, she seemed to take in all the past events by the fishing lights, and she understood everything in the present moment, even the future scenarios were vividly clear in her mind...

Connecting the past and present!

For the subspace, the boundary of time is not so insurmountable, and it is even more so for the Heavenly Dao.

She is capable of seeing through all cause and effect.

...yet still hoping for personal growth?

Just as Feng Tianyin was pondering, a thought descended upon her: "Wow, so fast! In the blink of an eye, the Fishing Fire Bank has been almost completely repaired."

"Your Majesty, more than half a month has passed for me. Greetings."

Both of them couldn't help but smile; their recent experience of going to the battlefield together was quite novel. In a sense, the Fishing Firebank witnessed their first official fight side by side, unlike Xia He, who had actually concealed her identity during the siege of the barbarians.

"Leave it to me."

In the blink of an eye, the girl in the white coat took over the authority and took control of the entire Fishing Fireside.

Her gaze passed over Feng Tianyin, looked down at the city wall, swept over every corner of the streets and alleys, and witnessed the heartfelt admiration of the people who were protecting her.

It's almost complete; it's indeed a rare new city.

【hint】

The newly built city "Fishing Lights" in Daqian has been included in the scope of authority. Should it be automatically managed?

Xia He plans to build the city manually for the first time.

Therefore, the option of taking over was skipped without hesitation. It wouldn't be bad to take over everything when the Great Qian Dynasty expands on a massive scale or even expands on a planetary scale. At that time, the perspective would be much higher.

At the same time, detailed information about the fishing lights on the shore is also readily available:

[Development Stage: Classical Era]

Mainstream Culture: The Great Qian Dynasty's National Studies and the Heavenly Way Sect

Current political system: Feudal system under the emperor

[Effective population control for the city: 30K]

Productivity level: 10 standard units

[...]

Most macro-level information, as well as specific regions and facilities, was readily available, sufficient to support Xia He's decisions. A particularly noteworthy aspect was the direct control over a population of 3, and even more when including farmland within its jurisdiction.

Pompeii, the ancient city destroyed by a volcano, is perceived as relatively prosperous, but in reality, it only had a population of about that size.

The projects that can be arranged now are nothing more than construction.

Xia He had an idea: "The most urgent task is to repair the defense line and restore its military function."

"that's it."

When Yu Huopan is capable of handling things on her own, she can also support the military operations of Daqian. There is no need to create unnecessary complications. With Feng Tianyin's operational skills, she can even turn the impossible into the possible.

Once she made up her mind, she took action, immediately selecting the "Emergency Status: Quickly Repair the Defense Line" reward after disengaging from combat.

In an instant, everyone felt a tremendous force descend from the sky.

hum!

Amidst the shock, an immense force uprooted the ruins of the city wall out of thin air, and the collapsed areas that had been barely filled were forcibly mended and glued together, restoring them to their original state.

It's like a city wall rising from the ground—a miracle! Chapter 96: I know everything about you, but I still have expectations (6K)

The severity of the city wall collapse is evident to all, and it cannot be resolved in a short time.

The progress will be very slow.

Although they did their best to repair a considerable portion of the damage, the vast majority of the damage remains at the level of "barely usable now".

If a war were to break out again, it might be impossible to defend against it.

This is also one of the reasons why Feng Tianyin had to prepare for an expedition to besiege the barbarian outposts. She had to take the initiative, otherwise she would be surrounded and beaten up, which would be humiliating.

Fortunately, there are no more worries now.

Xia He's [Emergency Repair Defense] is already one of the buffs for the defending side, so it can be activated directly.

From their perspective, the bricks, stones, and rubble, along with the towering city walls that seemed unattainable, rose up from the ground, tall and inviolable.

what?

Everyone around the fishing lights was shocked.

Even Feng Tianyin hadn't expected such a good result, let alone the others, who were utterly astonished and dumbfounded. This miracle was especially magnificent, as if it had been created out of thin air; so many building materials hadn't been used, and a city wall had been directly filled in.

Moreover, those who know their stuff can tell at a glance that it is very sturdy, and its solidity, structure and load-bearing capacity are perfect.

As expected of the Way of Heaven.

The arrival of divine power was truly terrifying.

While they were still in shock, Xia He was already considering the next option. If she chose to build something related to military purposes, she should try to support this southern expedition. She needed a stable rear.

Relying solely on Cuiwei City is unrealistic, given its distance and less developed shipping industry compared to Yuhuopan, which is crisscrossed by rivers.

It was the perfect base for Feng Tianyin's expedition.

[City Construction Project: Logistics Supply Point]

[Effect: Military supplies +6%, accumulated army experience +3%]

Xia He adopted a highly versatile construction project, and in the instant the decision was made, an invisible force swept through the city, and all production sites involving military supplies inexplicably became smooth sailing:

The furnace easily reached the perfect temperature, and the castings took shape with just a few taps. It seemed like they had inexhaustible strength when transporting grain and fodder...

Gain activated.

At the micro level, she didn't actually increase material resources out of thin air, but she did increase "labor efficiency" in a way that was immediately noticeable and not even apparent without careful observation, yet a large amount of output could be found when taking stock.

The one who felt it most clearly was Feng Tianyin.

Now, the High Priest's own spiritual power, combined with his authority, gives him an increasingly clearer understanding of the power of the Heavenly Way.

"Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty."

"That's all I can do. The rest is up to you. Remember to restore all areas of the city as soon as possible."

Once the regional gains are combined, productivity will be further enhanced.

Although small, Yuhuopan was fully equipped with all the essentials, including artisan shops, markets, horse farms, and warehouses. It would be considered a complete city even in classical times, making it a reliable rear base.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to tell you before, but I cleaned up the contaminated special families in the Arctic Circle. Did you receive any information about that?"

"I have received the report and guessed that it was Your Majesty's doing. I have already sent additional troops."

"That's good. Don't lift the border guards, continue building the Great Wall. I dare say they'll come on strong."

Xia He clearly saw that the area outside the fog was fraught with danger.

The mechanism will refresh more barbarians and even subspace pollution. The vast north has already begun to explore and has reached the Arctic Ocean, but that is the vertical exploration area. How many camps are hidden horizontally? It is currently unknown.

"Your Majesty, is it because the spiritual energy of the Great Qian is growing rapidly, and many people's bodies seem to be getting stronger?"

"That's not all; it's a faint awakening across the entire Terra region."

"Even I seem to be able to sense more..."

Feng Tianyin reached out to examine it closely, then looked up, her eyes gleaming as if she could see the past battles by the fishing lights.

That was neither an image nor a memory.

Instead, the information left by the psychic energy is read and presented in its past form.

"Wouldn't a high-level reading psychic ability allow one to understand the past, present, and future? With Your Majesty's power, you should be able to see even more distant scenes."

"Not quite. It's more like a deduction, especially since a few key events are relatively certain."

Xia He spoke the truth.

There's a difference in the flow of time between the two sides, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she can see into the more distant future. Besides, the changing times and major events are unavoidable milestones, part of the mechanism, and predictable.

Even if it's the worst-case scenario, you can still get a general idea by using simplified computer simulations and reasoning.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

"Because I was curious about the great prophet's divination abilities, and I seemed to be able to see more information when I was amplified by psionic energy."

"You've grown up well."

"But does that mean that in your eyes all my growth is predictable? You can know my future growth, changes, and key decisions simply by reading the timeline..."
