You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

"Although most of Qingzhou is shrouded in mist, it has its own primitive beliefs and is not simple. You must be careful."

"I will always keep your teachings in mind."

"There's nothing else for me to do. The important business is done."

The white jade statue standing in Feng Tianyin's palm stretched lazily and yawned. Usually, it would be time to have a cup of coffee and rest at this point.

Are you tired?

"That's not the case. Being with you can restore my sanity, unlike spending time with some idiots and wasting my energy."

Xia He couldn't help but complain about those incompetent leaders.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyin smiled and said, "I am honored. By the way, Your Majesty, what do you think of Xia Yi, which has been expanded again? I designed the new urban area in sections with different levels, as you suggested..."

She held the statue high and looked around, though from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, she had already seen it all.

Of course, the first-person perspective has its own unique charm, truly possessing a grand and majestic style reminiscent of games, with the entire Xia Yi landscape unfolding before our eyes. The style appears quite distinctive, a blend of Chinese and Western elements, yet also reflecting the unique character of the Great Qian Dynasty.

With its solemn and grand square eaves and towering church spires, the capital city is adorned with maximalist aesthetics.

Now you can play the real Cities: Skylines.

Architecture +10

Xia He nodded in admiration: "It certainly has an epic feel to it. This place is not only where it all began, but it will also be the core of a super empire in the future."

"At the current rate, if Xiayi continues to expand, it will soon occupy the core of the basin."

The Cifu Basin is quite large, but there aren't many core areas suitable for building a city.

Upon hearing the satisfactory reply, Feng Tianyin's face lit up with joy, and she immediately responded, "Next time, it won't just be Xiayi; more cities and more wonders will rise up on the Great Plains."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it too."

"...Although I would like to ask you to stay a little longer, what I would like to show Your Majesty is the future that is moving forward."

“Every time we part, it seems like it’s all in a rush, but it’s good that you think of it that way.”

"Perhaps it is because you instilled in me a more ambitious will when you promoted me. I will show Your Majesty the magnificent view of the crisscrossing fields on the Great Plains next time."

This time, it was Feng Tianyin who took the initiative to say goodbye.

"See you."

Xia He readily accepted, smiled, waved, and released the statue, which returned to normal.

At the same time, the golden auspicious clouds in the sky slowly faded away, and the radiant glow that filled the world gradually disappeared, as if it had been carried away by the wind and returned to the distance.

The most magnificent sight is the starry sky shining brightly through the atmosphere.

As the projection from the higher position departs, the magnificent scenery that inspires endless imagination bids farewell, yet it always leaves people with endless curiosity and a longing for that distant land.

ended.

When Feng Tianyin stepped out of the light and bowed in the direction where the auspicious clouds disappeared, everyone understood.

The Heavenly Way Ritual, which has been enlightened for 70 years, has officially come to an end.

For those who had already experienced the Great Qian Dynasty, it was a rare but not novel experience, just as impactful as ever. For the newcomers, it filled them with awe, and these were all powerful and influential people, since very few people could afford to travel so far these days.

Isn't each Heavenly Ritual an opportunity to harvest faith?

"Praise the Way of Heaven."

Everyone respectfully bid farewell to the golden auspicious clouds in the sky.

He then deeply admired Feng Tianyin, after all, she was the only one he could communicate with. Even the Great Prophet, who was also promoted, was not as good as the High Priest. The reporting level was the true status and rank.

She represents the connection between the human world and the divine way; there is probably no one else worthy of Her attention.

"The festival is over, let's take our final bows."

At Feng Tianyin's command, the venue began to wrap up, and the high priests and scribes followed her away.

moment.

Fireworks soared into the sky, their dazzling colors heralding the end of this once-a-decade grand event. Only then did many awaken from their reverie and begin their journey home, especially the envoys from the southern city-states, who were still awestruck and discussing among themselves:

"Go back quickly and tell the city lord that our choice was right."

"That's right, only the Great Qian can lead this world."

"They probably saw it on the other side of the Great Plains too. This auspicious omen has spread far and wide, so they must have known about it."

"Can't it be broadcast far and wide?"

"Do those uncivilized barbarian lands even deserve to be seen?"

The crowd had formed a system of explanation and were proud to be a part of the Great Qian Dynasty. They believed that their decision to submit to Feng Tianyin was the right one; otherwise, what if she had asked that great being for some kind of revenge?

Although it is well known that she is magnanimous, we must not be complacent and must always take into account the laws of nature.

all in all.

The messengers could assert that their homeland was about to undergo a dramatic change, and that the previously turbulent forces would finally subside.

One week after the Heavenly Way Festival.

After a long journey, Feng Tianyin arrived at the southern section of the Great Plains.

According to the usual procedure, the High Priestess should come to the South to take a look. After all, practice makes perfect. Although her authority allows her to receive a lot of information, it is still more appropriate to see it with her own eyes.

However, this time the final destination is not Nanyuan; there is another option:

Nanqiu.

"You have done a great job this time."

In the city lord's mansion, Feng Tianyin generously bestowed the title of Lord of Nanqiu City, Lü Bo, and rewarded his entire crew.

"We all rely on Your revelation, which has shown us the way. Thank you, High Priest."

Even if the words were exaggerated, it didn't stop everyone from being sincere. After witnessing the descent of the Heavenly Dao, who wouldn't be glad and decisively pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Dao? Otherwise, once the war machine of the Great Qian Dynasty was fully activated, they would have to be eradicated completely.

It's no exaggeration to say that Feng Tianyin's persuasion saved their lives.

Of course.

To attribute it all to her would be an exaggeration, and Lü Bo had already been told that the High Priest disliked too much formality.

So, immediately after finishing his opening remarks, he added, "We must thank City Lord Cheng Feng, Priest Song Jingyun, and General Erbala for their valiant fighting; without them, the consequences of this war would have been unpredictable..."

Even when he achieved something, he didn't forget to recommend his colleagues for credit.

The two people present were a little embarrassed, but overall they enjoyed it very much.

“I understand the situation,” Feng Tianyin said calmly. “Their reward will be increased again.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She was never stingy with her capable subordinates, especially those key figures who played outstanding roles. Furthermore, the representatives of the various believer city-states who came to pay homage also received rewards.

As long as you cooperate obediently, you'll get good results.

Conversely, a truly serious Daqian would be able to flatten this land, inevitably leading to rivers of blood.

So everyone still felt a sense of admiration for her, thinking, "She could have just come and crushed everything, but she chose a gentler approach." She was grateful for the kindness she received and ultimately escaped with her life.

Regardless of whether Feng Tianyin considered cost or other issues, her magnanimity and lack of impulsiveness are reassuring.

I am convinced.

After surrendering, the city lords, who had been feeling uneasy, finally felt relieved.

"Today, seeing Your Majesty, you are indeed a being of divine appearance."

"No wonder you have won the favor of Heaven. Only your magnanimity is worthy of that great being."

"We of Nanqiu will definitely guard the South for you and for the sake of Heaven."

Praising Xia He along with Feng Tianyin finally brought a hint of joy to her face, but that was all. Soon she got to the point and began to inquire about the current situation in various places.

The more information, the better.

My purpose in making this trip is to confirm the stability of the border and prepare for the next ten years of recuperation and rapid development. If the front line is not stable, then all talk is in vain, so their report is very important.

The city lords reported the events in detail.

It particularly emphasizes the influence of the power of Heaven on the city, and places that originally required long-term repairs were quickly filled in.

Moreover, the Daqian Army officially stationed here, elevating this area to a strategic position on the southern defense line.

"Let the border troops stationed there."

Feng Tianyin's single word determined the deployment of an elite legion. Upon hearing this, everyone present solemnly agreed, for this was a force on par with the Imperial Guard. Positioning them in the south symbolized resolve; chaos and unrest were not to be tolerated here.

From now on, all forces must obediently maintain stability.

She wanted to lay the groundwork for a ten-year construction project.

"Don't worry about the military aspects. Tell me about the construction aspects. Are there any public construction projects that need to be applied for?"

As soon as the high priest spoke, everyone offered their opinions, including but not limited to various projects such as roads, canals, dikes, and warehouses, and they listed detailed information such as the location and scale.

They came prepared.

They had received prior notice, which was given to them by Feng Tianyin.

The assignment was completed quite well.

You could simply sit in Xiayi and wait for the application documents, but making a special trip here will allow you to better grasp the information and determine which buildings should be constructed and which should not. This is something that cannot be understood from just a few pieces of paper.

Keep up with the computing power simulation!

Feng Tianyin reviewed each application while summarizing and deducing from the information.

He even pointed out some mistakes on the spot with an iron fist: "Too careless. Also, I'm warning you not to do any construction work in such useless places."

"Your schemes cannot escape my notice. This is a one-time exception."

No matter how amiable he had been just moments before, the high priest now exuded an aura of supreme authority.

Yes, sir.

The city lord who was named immediately knelt down and apologized.

They were increasingly awestruck by Feng Tianyin's unfathomable insight. How did she know? Was it an intelligence network? Was it deduction? Or was it a higher-level power? No matter which one it was, it was enough to make them tuck their tails between their legs and behave themselves.
