You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

The Daqian army swiftly eliminated the city lord's mansion and its cronies, and the people naturally welcomed their atrocities now that they knew about them.

This is truly gratifying.

Song Yan was once considered to have achieved nothing, even some minor accomplishments. However, his obsession with research into subspace was truly astonishing, shattering any illusions and inspiring fear. Therefore, it is certainly advisable to hold him accountable.

If he dares to cause such a commotion, won't the whole city suffer sooner or later?

The horrific death of the former city lord was plain for all to see; he was a crazed monster who utterly disregarded all human ethics.

He's ruthless enough to kill off his own lineage.

Although Daqian clearly announced that "Song Jingyun, the only survivor," was still alive, in the eyes of the people, the city lord's family had fallen into ruin, and it was only natural that their descendants were causing such harm.

here you go.

After eliminating the former city lord's forces, all that's left is profit.

Feng Tianyin pardoned all the Nan Yuan generals who participated in the city defense battle, and even provided compensation for the dead. Apart from replacing them, she did not impose any further punishment.

She would use both kindness and severity to strike at the heart of the matter and make everyone understand the high priest's credibility.

The soldiers from Nanyuan were naturally grateful.

When the city fell, they all thought they were doomed, certain to be purged, and their entire families might be implicated. Unexpectedly, His Majesty's reputation for benevolence was upheld, and he adopted a policy of appeasement, leaving them deeply grateful.

"Thank you for your pardon, Your Excellency. We will certainly continue to serve you."

And he didn't forget to tell the child:

"See? Our family has served in the military for generations, but now it seems that only the Great Qian Army is the model. We must join forces with them."

It was only because I had been their opponent that I understood the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty. They were so reliable and gave me a great sense of security.

Previously, he struck fear into the hearts of enemies; now, he brings smiles to the faces of his allies—this is the mark of a truly powerful leader. From beginning to end, the High Priest has given them the impression of being invincible, radiating an aura of glory, and being the de facto pope of the Heavenly Dao Sect—so naturally, they are utterly devoted to him.

Also.

The city wall underwent routine repairs, but this time the damage was limited.

She instructed the engineers to simply refill the tunnels and repair any gaps; expansion and reinforcement could be addressed later. At the very least, control of the southern plateau needed to be secured, and the prayer ceremony presented the perfect opportunity.

Feng Tianyin announced the preparations in a grand manner.

The Southern Plains already harbored many secretive followers of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but now they are all surfacing with great interest.

They felt this was an unmissable "proclamation to Heaven," and that it would be an honor to witness it, so they responded enthusiastically and offered their tributes.

So a continuous stream of people rushed toward the city lord's mansion, but Feng Tianyin resolutely refused.

They actually forbid it!

She refused, saying that "the southern plateau needs to be rebuilt and needs to recuperate," and that things should be done simply and quickly. If anyone insisted, she would retort with "exploiting people in the name of Heaven is even more outrageous."

Of course we need to hurry, because staying even one more day will cost a huge amount of money.

Moreover, wasn't the Great Qian Imperial Guard's swift breach of the city precisely to preserve resources as much as possible? This important town will have plenty of places to spend money in the future, but she still accepted some tribute and used it to confirm the backgrounds of the wealthy households.

The permission information is clear at a glance.

It must be admitted that the former city lord managed things well; at least he didn't leave a mess behind.

Day 6.

The makeshift altar platform stands at the highest point of Nanyuan. It is a "small flat-topped boulder" on Pingdingshan Mountain. It is a bit too small to build a fortress and not enough to accommodate the defensive forces, but it is perfect as an altar.

With her hands behind her back, Feng Tianyin climbed to the very top and gazed out at the surroundings.

It overlooks the vast plains, where lush green grasses lie low, undulating like waves, layer upon layer, and the breeze carries the scent of grass.

It truly lives up to its reputation as fertile black soil.

She saw them all as excellent candidates for farmland, and was naturally very interested.

The only drawback is that this impromptu blessing ceremony couldn't be too extravagant. Even though Heaven never cares, it was still the High Priest's fault, and he could only apologize to her later.

What appears to ordinary people as a vast and boundless psychic phenomenon is, in their own eyes, a humane entity that they can communicate with.

"Let's begin."

At Feng Tianyin's command, the altar was opened and a ritual was performed, the air filled with the fragrance of incense.

All the Tiandao Sect followers in Nanyuan bowed down in devout worship, their faces filled with fervor and joy.

Sure enough, golden auspicious clouds appeared in the sky.

In an instant, everyone praised him, cheering and shouting, wishing they could rush to that high sky.

Only Feng Tianyin's expression darkened from an angle unseen by everyone else, because it was obvious whether there was any human will within it. That being should not be there; it was merely responding to a phenomenon.

It's grand enough, but it's not what I'm after...

What I want is...

The girl, as if waking from a dream, stared wide-eyed at the purple object, gradually beginning to ponder what she was pursuing. Was it this vast yet empty phenomenon? Or the inner workings of human nature?

With this thought in mind, Feng Tianyin began calculating at full speed, and couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Should this be seen as a unity of opposites or two sides of the same coin? Is it a doctrine of the Holy Spirit? A dialectical approach? Which theory is my current logic based on?"

Before she finished speaking, super-high temperature steam rose from her head, her eyes shone brightly, and she unleashed a powerful psionic aura.

This is?

The people of the Southern Plains, who had never heard of such a thing, were so frightened that they crawled on their knees.

The people of Daqian, who hailed from Xiayi, had seen him a few times, but dared not speak much, instead maintaining their respectful bows. Could His Majesty have some insight? It must be a blessing from Heaven.

"Notify the administrator that the self-check failed and an error message has been generated."

The high priest has once again uttered inexplicable words, something that hasn't happened in decades. It must be because they are too dull to understand.

Xia He, who had just made herself a cup of coffee and returned to her computer screen, was stunned.

"I didn't report an error for more than a moment!"

The backend program's long strings of code were a headache to look at, but fortunately, she had seen it many times before. As the project leader, she was very experienced, and she was familiar with the program.

Xia He immediately sat down in her office chair and began emergency repairs.

moment.

It took a while of frantic typing to calm things down, and after reorganizing the program, it finally became a bit more stable. There had been a sudden, excessive computational outburst; the question is, what is noteworthy about the Southern Plains?

She confirmed that there were no other dangers in this city-state. Could it be that the warp was causing the trouble?

How many lives do you have if you dare to touch your cybernetic daughter?

Xia He fully immersed herself in the game's perspective, overlooking the land and instantly traversing thousands of miles.

Tracing causes and effects, discerning the heavens and earth, and clarifying all things, this vast gaze, carrying a hint of angry accusation, sweeps across all directions. Because it comes from an infinitely high and distant place, it cannot actually see many corners, nor does it need to see them; wherever it passes, it purifies and cleanses, and demons vanish on their own.

The difference in social standing is too great.

Even without taking direct action, that will has determined that the subspace is the mastermind, and all laws will conform to it.

The shadows in the corners of Terra were emptied, and countless howls and wails rose and fell silent in the next moment.

I dare not hate.

The pain can only be buried deep in the heart, endured, and waited for Him to leave.

However, Xia He murmured in confusion, "There's nothing wrong with it, so where's the problem?"

Chapter 102 It's Up to You (Happy New Year!)

The program was searched but yielded no results.

In the end, Xia He could only stop Feng Tianyin from smoking after restarting the program.

Furthermore, no trace of warp intrusion was found, and no amount of skill could affect the High Priest's indestructible and inviolable code.

"That's strange."

Xia He frowned in front of the screen.

I instinctively reached out to scratch my head, but then slowly lowered my hand. This profession is prone to hair loss, even for female programmers; you have to be careful and avoid scratching your head unnecessarily.

So she took a sip of coffee to calm herself down, but still couldn't figure it out and couldn't find any loopholes.

What exactly caused Feng Tianyin's computing power to suddenly surge?

"never mind."

Given the unpredictability of some programming operations, and the inability to get to the bottom of things, simply maintaining monitoring is sufficient.

After much thought, she decided to immerse herself in the role further.

Xia He put on the virtual reality device and entered the sky above the Southern Plain with a completely immersive perspective. The vast plain stretched out before her eyes, and she saw people obediently prostrating themselves in respect, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

All sentient beings felt the presence of the Way of Heaven growing ever stronger.

Although he wasn't as perceptive of human nature as the high priest, he at least knew that the other party valued it more.

You need to perform well.

The people of the Southern Plains were still relieved, but the shadow of the subspace's partial infiltration into the present world suffered heavy losses, and they were so frightened that they completely shrank back, not daring to show their faces for even a second. Whether that person could see them or not, they had already slipped away, disappearing without a trace.

Even if you don't inspect everything with the same rage as before, don't get noticed.

Given the vast difference in their status, He couldn't withstand even a glance. He would hold back against the people of the Great Qian Dynasty and humans, but was full of hostility towards monsters.

Hostility will provoke a response from the world itself and lead to its annihilation.

While the subspace was completely silent, the Southern Plains, as the host region, was bustling with activity.

"Praise be to Heaven!"

Although no one knew exactly what had happened, everyone felt a deep sense of awe towards the golden auspicious cloud.

Feng Tianyin's eyes flickered as she sensed that spiritual energy.

She guessed Xia He's purpose in coming; it was probably due to an unexpected error. She hadn't expected things to almost get out of control. It was just a routine calculation, and she still couldn't find the answer. Should she tell the creator?

"What just happened? What were you calculating? You were consuming so much computing power."
