You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

call!

A long gust of wind dispersed the clouds, revealing a stunning view of the deep starry sky.

This phenomenon, which was slightly diminished in the capital and spread throughout the entire Daqian territory, was not limited to Xiayi.

Even ships sailing between continents could be seen, and the fishermen along the coast immediately stopped casting their nets and exclaimed in surprise:

"It is the will of Heaven manifesting itself!"

Even the Qingzhou people who once disbelieved in the Heavenly Dao Sect were convinced. What was the mere Sea-Dwelling God back then? He was insignificant compared to such a magnificent sight. This was the only true god that people should believe in.

Xia He has indeed increased the amount of special effects this time.

If she wanted, creating something on a larger scale across the country wouldn't be a problem. But everything has to take time, and differences must be shown; for example, Xia Yi is of course the holy city.

As her gaze fell, she saw a wisp of golden auspicious cloud stretching across the sky.

In everyone's eyes, the gaze that is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao has officially entered the present world from the distant starry sky.

The sky was bathed in sunlight.

The auspicious clouds enveloped Feng Tianyin, also blocking all spiritual energy vision. To ordinary people, it appeared as a temporary promotion, as if she had entered another realm. This was undoubtedly the favor of Heaven.

Little did they know that the two were simply chatting about everyday things.

"Your festival this time was really lively. I even saw a parade of flower boats. It's getting more and more elaborate."

"I just feel that I should offer more devotion to His Majesty."

When the ingenuity of the idea was mentioned, Feng Tianyin smiled sweetly.

“Those ships are no ordinary ships; they’re already the prototypes of galleons from the Age of Exploration. To be able to build ships of such a large tonnage, they must be ready.” Xia He could tell at a glance the technological sophistication, since everything was on display.

They will become the crystallization of cutting-edge shipbuilding technology of this era, making it easy to roam between land and sea.

"I will dedicate the blue parish to you."

Xia He nodded, leaning against the white jade statue. Then her gaze swept over the group of officials around her, including a feudal lord, who was now making his final visit after stepping down from his post.

They were half happy and half regretful, after all, they would never have the chance to participate in the ceremony again, and ultimately they withdrew from the top echelons of the Great Qian Dynasty.

He's retired from the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, everyone cooperated sensibly; otherwise, we would have been forced to leave the biosphere.

"You've already lifted the lockdowns in various regions? I thought there would be a rebellion."

"Actually, I had prepared a contingency plan in advance, but I didn't need to use it."

The feudal lords chosen back then were inherently compromising and weak. Over the years, they have been controlled and unable to expand their power, remaining mere figureheads. They weren't like regional warlords, so where did they get the strength to confront Xia Yi? Of course, a single notice was enough to quell them.

"That's perfect."

Before she finished speaking, the statue Xia He was attached to snapped its fingers, and instantly a mystical sound echoed throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty:

Feng Tianyin should be called Emperor.

It's been a long time since I last heard this. I never expected that in the 90th anniversary of enlightenment, I could hear the grand voice of the universe.

You can talk.

Most of those who remember the public revelations from Heaven in the past have already passed away, and these sacred moments have become merely historical records. The fact that they have reappeared this time shows how significant this matter is.

A single endorsement worth a thousand pieces of gold is more powerful than any other endorsement.

The entire Great Qian Dynasty heard it, and in an instant, people bowed down to the golden auspicious clouds in the sky and shouted praises in the direction of Xia Yi.

They benefited from it.

It was thanks to the High Priest's great virtue of benefiting all under heaven that he was appreciated by the heavens and once again received their protection.

It may seem like just an imperial title, but in everyone's eyes it is clearly a symbol of protection and boundless blessings. They are fortunate enough to share in Feng Tianyin's protection and bask in the glory of the Heavenly Dao.

People at the temple and in the Xia Yi region were even more shocked.

"Praise be to Heaven, congratulations Your Majesty."

The scene of the mysterious sound resounding throughout the world was so shocking that I forgot to breathe and my whole body trembled involuntarily.

All thoughts vanished like smoke. That Heavenly Dao was not a simple phenomenon; behind it lay an extraordinary will, which single-mindedly and consistently watched over Feng Tianyin.

The parties involved were all somewhat moved and couldn't help but show their joy: "Thank you."

It's been a long time.

Although she often communicates with the creator, the way the other party directly announces it to the world, showing off their support, makes her feel very safe. The care and appreciation in the message are obvious, just like the white jade statue pinching its own cheek with a smile at this moment.

"No need to be so serious, it's just a notification."

Xia He made the announcement in a high-profile manner because she wanted to establish the most unbreakable authority.

This itself is a way of protecting the new political system.

Her endorsement of the Heavenly Dao was crucial; the entire Great Qian Dynasty heard it. The golden words that once existed only in legends had appeared, now truly real.

Praise to you.

Now that things have come to this, everyone naturally supports her and is extremely grateful to Feng Tianyin.

After all, many people believe that the High Priest's connection with the Heavenly Dao has been further strengthened, and that he will also protect the Great Qian Dynasty. They feel they have benefited from this, and of course, they should also thank the patriotic High Priest.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I didn't expect you to announce it on your own initiative."

"It's okay, I'm just making my presence known. Otherwise, some people will think that the Heavenly Dao is just a natural phenomenon. But it seems that's about right."

"Only I know that you are a being full of humanity, which is why you care about us."

Feng Tianyin smiled.

The world is fortunate that the one true God is humane and possesses a sense of morality.

Otherwise, are we supposed to let those bastards in the subspace pretend to be gods? Or some other scraps of trash pop up and act like gods and ghosts? The gap between them and the Heavenly Dao is too great; only this power is supreme.

"That's it, I'm going to start the deployment."

Xia He ended the conversation, otherwise the little robot would turn into a praise monster and keep praising itself, which would be quite awkward to listen to.

take over.

She first targeted the prompt related to the political system: [Current era's sociological accumulation has unlocked a new political system. Change it now?]

The Great Qian Dynasty developed so rapidly that it popularized a series of social concepts very early on.

Correspondingly, the technology tree and municipal tree are also growing rapidly.

Even when communicating with an ordinary person from the Great Qian Dynasty, the other person has likely heard of some principles of dialectics, economics, and politics, because these are written in the doctrines and serve as popular science.

Therefore, Xia He is merely using the change of political system to complement the prosperity of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Political System: Monarchy

[Description: Social animals tend to favor authority and require efficient and sufficient organization. A "monarch" ecosystem emerges around this organization, forming a central figure. The exploration of new political systems has led to progress, but its advantages and disadvantages still require time to be verified.]

It is often said that the excesses of monarchy rest solely on the monarch, but this is not the case. The interplay of interests is perpetual, and human power is limited by physiological constraints and cannot expand indefinitely; therefore, the monarch must still delegate power. However, the Great Qian Dynasty was different…

[Effect: Under this political system, administrative organization level +10%, core territory conversion +5%, and influence +12%]

It truly deserves to be called a new political system at a higher level.

The old oligopoly and feudal system were far too outdated, and the benefits were simply insufficient.

Xia He's choice of a monarchical system offered sufficient and lasting benefits, enough to match the size of the Great Qian Dynasty and the current era. Almost simultaneously with the selection, a new prompt appeared:

We are currently in the late Classical Age; the next stage: the Age of Exploration.

It was renamed?

The earlier games were called the Renaissance, but the mechanics adapted to the changing world view, which is now the Age of Exploration.

This also means that the internal beta version of "Civilization Evolution" uses "the stage of civilization's exploration of the world" as its standard of measurement, rather than a cultural description like that of the Renaissance.

The essence of navigation is exploration.

Feng Tianyin asked curiously, "Your Majesty, does this mean that other civilizations we have not yet encountered will also be navigating the seas?"

"That's right. Although Daqian has advanced technology, the threshold for seafaring is not too high. If you are bold and don't care about your life, it is not impossible to sail thousands of kilometers on a raft like the people of the South Pacific."

Xia He was also curious about how far the world of Terra had progressed in its navigation.

Fortunately, the intercontinental sea is an excellent training ground.

Even the largest inland sea is safer than the open ocean, so we can first cultivate Daqian's navigation skills.

hum!

At the moment of the change of political system, Xia He did not forget to add a special effect. Feng Tianyin's blurry and hazy shadow, which was already shrouded in the sunlight, was tinged with colorful light, which rippled and echoed in the sky above Xia Yi.

The crowd immediately shouted their congratulations.

They were completely convinced, feeling that the title of emperor recorded in history was already worthy of Feng Tianyin, and truly deserved it. Besides, the high priest's morality was evident to all, and his power was ridiculously great; it was merely a change of title, with no real difference.

She is undoubtedly worthy of the title in terms of character, ability, and martial prowess.

The high priest's dominance is not based on titles or positions; power is built from the bottom up, and Your Majesty is already the true monarch.

"Now we don't need the feudal lords to be our accessories."

Xiahe has been deposed, marking the end of its era of expansion; its focus now shifts to overseas exploration.

Adapt to local conditions.

Having an emperor in name only is sufficient overseas; further division into vassal states would only exacerbate the fragmentation. In fact, it's quite remarkable that Feng Tianyin has managed to weather the risks of this feudal system for so many years.

Perhaps because they were constantly at war, the feudal lords had no chance to have any other thoughts.

"You will be the emperor from now on."

"I will always be His Majesty's representative. Worldly glory is meaningless and will not change my duties and goals."

In response to Xia He's sentiments, Feng Tianyin gave a clear answer.

"You're quite the smooth talker."

The white jade statue grinned and then continued operating; it was time for the deployment that would truly impact navigation.
