You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Having specialized in the secular affairs of the empire for many years, she had become somewhat rusty in missionary work. How could she possibly abandon her old specialty?

What is the difference between the warp and the city-states in the interior of these new continents?

The corruption of demons is itself a form of "corruption," so one can turn the corruption around, which is to say, proselytize.

Kou can go, so can I.

Chapter 183 Humanity Has Fallen (4K)

The Western colonies felt the pressure directly from the west coast.

Weird.

The psionicists stationed there have had a more stable connection to the warp lately, allowing them to draw more power safely and reliably. However, they keep muttering "praise the heavenly way" unconsciously, which seems to be going on for some reason.

What unclean things have gotten into the warp?

Even if it was already dirty.

These psychics are usually quite bizarre, and now their sudden, unpredictable outburst of "Praise be to God" is even more chilling.

The colonists became more wary.

It's likely that someone is causing some kind of special contamination in the subspace, but what power does humanity possess? We can't even permanently reside in the subspace, let alone utilize its power for such a thing. In any case, it's definitely related to the laws of nature.

The Heavenly Dao Sect has been making such a strong showing lately that it's hard not to think of them.

I heard that the High Priest has just returned to Daqian after completing his tour.

Although she has left, the many believers and doctrines she left behind continue to spread, crossing the vast continent and reaching settlements on the east coast.

Martin, also a missionary, was the first to notice it and began to systematically collect the regulations within.

"interesting."

"The Heavenly Dao Sect was the first sect to proactively mention knowledge of subspace."

It wasn't written about before, after all, people's understanding was too shallow and there weren't enough psychics. Now, it has become a prominent field of study in the Great Qian Subspace, and its doctrines even actively describe it as a spacetime intersection of soul and spiritual projections...

Though not detailed, it hits the nail on the head.

The tone, besides being both warning and educational, genuinely aims to help people understand its secrets so they aren't completely clueless.

"You're researching this dangerous stuff again. What if the pollution targets you?"

Martin's expression turned a little more serious after his friend's reminder.

"I am prepared."

With years of missionary experience and psychic talent, he was naturally not afraid. Moreover, he was now the head of this parish and had some religious resources at his disposal, making him much safer than the average person.

However, many people in the area chose the Heavenly Dao Sect, since the sect was at its peak.

The New World Development Company dominated the sale of agricultural products, enabling colonies that had not yet been fully developed to purchase ample food.

They offered affordable prices, and their products sold very well.

As trade volume increases between the two sides, it becomes difficult to prevent the other side's religion from spreading. Many people choose to become believers for the sake of convenience in doing business, since the Heavenly Dao Sect's requirements aren't that strict, are they?

The results of it?

Sometimes, just like psionicists, they would casually utter a phrase like "praise the way of heaven."

Are you sure that's not an evil god?

"I need to investigate this carefully and then report the situation to the Vatican headquarters so they can make a judgment."

Martin finished his assigned tasks and then relaxed on the New World map.

Although he had practically withdrawn from the sect's headquarters, he still had some connections and had to inform them, since no one could easily escape the wave of the empire's actions.

I don't know.

The culprits were the three people who had been promoted.

At this very moment, the mental projections of Feng Tianyin, Gegentana, and Zhuang Qing gathered together in the Xia Yi subspace rift, illuminating the area so that the surrounding demons and their families dared not look directly at them.

They were in the spiritual retreat’s base in the subspace, a stable and open space.

As long as no evil spirits appear, the scenery of the subspace is magnificent, even more spectacular than the pitch-black background of the universe. In terms of sheer world impact, it can capture a person's attention.

"Did we go too far?"

Zhuang Qing asked cautiously. At this moment, the three of them were spreading their faith within the "broadcasting formula" she had created, using their own spiritual energy to drive an ultra-wide echo.

Food language.

This is its true nature, much like the erosion of intelligent life by the demons of space.

"Be flexible in your approach, don't be rigid. Broadcasting is a good thing."

Gedentana is very satisfied with the experiments so far, and some of the specific operating principles and techniques, such as the subspace propagation effect, were even discovered from the ruins of the forbidden zone.

It was information obtained from the "Monument to Deciphering the Way of Heaven".

With subsequent deciphering of the information, scholars can now assert that the Lost Empire used the warp for communication.

It works on a similar principle to broadcasting.

however.

They naturally chose to broadcast based on the power of faith, but it turned into a devouring language. It can convert novice believers but makes them behave a bit strange. I wonder if it will affect the image of the sect?

"Those crazy bastards will only damage the reputation of my Heavenly Dao Sect."

“My Queen, look at the industry. There are plenty of cults out there. We’re just a bit too radical. Sometimes we need to use efficient methods.”

"People will regard the Way of Heaven as an evil god."

"This is a matter of definition. As long as you have the biggest fist, there is no public opinion that you can't control. Strength is the key."

“I know, but I can’t stand by and watch my Lord’s Way be slandered.”

"You mean to start a holy war—"

boom!

Feng Tianyin flicked Gegentana on the forehead, finally dispelling the lingering confusion in her eyes. The Great Prophet, as if waking from a dream, scratched his head, a wave of lingering fear washing over him, while Zhuang Qing immediately noticed something amiss.

“The believers gathered by broadcasting should be called general believers, which is even lower than shallow believers, but if their numbers are large enough, they will affect us.”

This is a new discovery, and the balance between its advantages and disadvantages must be carefully considered.

"We're doing the right thing by continuing the experiment, but the key is to be careful and also to protect ourselves."

The two readjusted their meditation.

The greatest benefit of being promoted is that one's rank is slightly higher than the upper limit. This slight increase is significant and cannot be shaken by ordinary corruption. As long as one is aware of this, there will be no problem.

Moreover, Feng Tianyin possesses an additional inviolable attribute, allowing her to detect and assist them at any time.

"We must continue to experiment over the years."

“But our main focus is on propagation within the subspace, right? We don’t even know where it’s gone. There’s no feedback at all.” Gergentana sighed anxiously.

Zhuang Qing is very patient: "What you keep in mind will eventually come to pass."

"Let's continue."

Feng Tianyin is least afraid of jobs that require patience. In fact, she is currently working on two fronts at the time, reviewing documents in the temple while simultaneously broadcasting her mental projection.

Believers might appear on the other side of the distant universe; let's make our name known in advance first.

It makes perfect sense from a probabilistic standpoint, so she was willing to do it.

This was particularly torturous for the warp, with countless demons howling in despair, because the Heavenly Dao faith power mixed in was nothing short of poison, even corrosive, leading to a strange phenomenon in the warp:

Humanization.

Some demons, through the high priest's continuous broadcasts, exhibited human characteristics and actually began to corrupt the monsters.

As a result, Feng Tianyin's reputation in the subspace became even more terrifying.

Time flies by.

Over the years, a series of development activities led by the New World Development Company spread industry across vast distances.

First, the railway connects the main urban area of ​​Fengtianyin, extending directly inland.

As it transported large quantities of supplies and made connections, it was destined that the empire's control would increase day by day. Unsurprisingly, the natives along the way chose to join, gladly accepted, and without exception submitted to the Great Qian.

Their involvement paved the way.

With the support of the indigenous people, Daqian's expansion was greatly enhanced, as their experience was invaluable.

They can find out which roads are passable, which areas are prone to flooding, which areas are suitable for road construction, and which areas have mineral deposits... all with lightning speed.

Another important contributing factor was the migration from the intercontinental seas.

In addition to the mainland of Daqian, there was also the population provided by surrounding small countries and city-states. Their reproduction and growth led to the development of the new continent, making it vibrant and thriving.

That's not all.

Even people from the colonies of the Western Continent sought refuge with them.

The empire has always been tolerant; as long as your culture aligns, you're welcome. That's right, the Great Qian Dynasty, which is clearly a "religious state" in the eyes of the world, doesn't actually force people to convert to the Heavenly Dao Sect. There's no need; you'll understand after experiencing a ritual.

Therefore, the empire's identity was largely based on a whole set of traditional Chinese culture grounded in the Tiandao Sect.

Moreover, the doctrine itself is evolving with the times.

It may even be improved according to different times, and everyone will gladly accept it whenever it is promulgated, without any resistance.

Western colonies felt the pressure, especially with the suppression of missionary work.

"Why can the Heavenly Dao Sect directly amend the regulations?!"

They were not unaware of the constraints of some rigid doctrines and attempted to reform them, but the result was sectarian division, conflict, and even war.

This is such a hassle.

"After all, the Heavenly Dao Sect does have gods, and their saint is the Pope, who is still alive. Of course, any explanation is acceptable."

"In my opinion, the doctrines of the Heavenly Dao Sect are just a tool in the Empire, and it is not a theocracy at all."

"No, I don't acknowledge their gods; they're all fake."
