You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Abundant energy brought forth a sense of pride.

Riding high on their victory in the subspace war, they were full of confidence and determined to fully realize their gains.

The regions, once fragmented by a lost empire, naturally harbored a strong sense of pride and longed to rebuild their former glory, having awaited this moment for a long time. Now that the opportunity had finally arrived for the High Priest to ascend to godhood and protect human civilization, how could they possibly let it slip by?

A powerful force of faith flowed in all at once.

Extremely large.

Both Xia He and Feng Tianyin felt it; their long-accumulated faith had finally found a clear place to rest.

They accepted the gifts together, exchanged a glance, and realized it was almost time. The blessing gradually subsided, and the golden auspicious clouds that had echoed throughout the universe faded, giving an atmosphere of departure.

The 170th anniversary of the Enlightenment Heavenly Way Ritual has come to an end.

"Farewell, Divine Kingdom." The projection belonging to the Heavenly Dao strolled into the starry sky.

Throughout the entire process, no psychic was able to truly observe her full appearance; they only vaguely saw the image of a beautiful human woman. Unfortunately, the difference in psychic abilities between the two was too great to perceive her full appearance; at least a divine being would be able to.

As she was leaving, Gegentana and Zhuang Qing caught a glimpse of each other. The other woman turned around and smiled, saying, "You two should also assist Tianyin more in the future."

Yes, sir.

In a sense, this was the first time they had formally seen what the Heavenly Dao looked like, and it was indeed extraordinary.

Vast as the universe, yet also reserved and composed.

The macro and micro perspectives converge on this great being without any sense of incongruity; it is a highly integrated state that has reached an absolutely transcendent status. This is the mystery of the Way of Heaven.

As Xia He departed, just like every Heavenly Ritual, the entire universe began to shimmer, and people lit fireworks in various ways.

The planets shone brightly.

Each star world can clearly see the other's celebrations.

No matter where they are in the world, they all tacitly begin a synchronized blessing, giving thanks to the heavens together. This is not only for her, but also to console the victims of the entire war in the subspace.

You have created a new era, and it has arrived.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Feng Tianyin slowly stepped out of the rosy light, her clear voice echoing throughout the universe: "I hereby declare the 170th anniversary of the Enlightenment ceremony a complete success. The Human Empire will enter an era of revival and expeditions. May the Heavenly Dao continue to bless us."

"Praise the High Priest."

The entire faith world of the Heavenly Dao Sect echoed with fervor, for this was the one who truly and continuously ruled the material universe.

If that great being is concerned with building the world itself, then she focuses more on the microscopic world.

A girl with long black and white hair walked down from the altar with her hands behind her back.

She could feel Xia He watching.

One's own consciousness still resides in the divine realm, for it is only through a higher state that information about the entire human empire can be readily accessed. This does not conflict with the union of body and spirit in the material universe, and the ability to control one's actions without causing damage to the present world symbolizes a state superior to that of evil gods.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but ask, "Does His Majesty mean to launch an expedition?"

“That’s right. The Great Qian Empire is perfectly capable of doing both construction and war at the same time. It’s not difficult, after all, this blessing is unprecedented.”

Everyone nodded.

They certainly felt the stark difference.

It seemed that the Heavenly Dao had unleashed its immense power all at once, something that had never happened before.

Previously, Xia He could only omit some operations, as it would easily overload her brain, and by being lazy, she automated many steps. Now it's different; she's fully utilizing the game mechanics.

The entire star system will tremble during the Empire's Great Expedition.

Terra, as the homeworld of the Holy City, is most affected by the revival and blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

Xia He naturally took special care of the meticulous operations here, and since the main benefits and costs started from the Terra world, she was naturally the first to reap the rewards.

All industries are waiting to be developed.

A restorative force swept across the western continent.

The most severely damaged areas recovered immediately, and Feng Tianyin also provided support.

A Heavenly Dao and a High Priest watching you together is a blessing. Representing the entire Terra world, it repaired and accepted the technology from the advanced parishes, and quickly assimilated it in just a few years.

With the support of long-term national policies on science and technology, progress has been rapid.

From the perspective of the divine realm, countless satellites were launched into space in the blink of an eye, skipping the stages of space stations and lunar bases, and also gaining the ability to build interstellar warships.

It passed.

"At least it's not a drag on anymore; Terra's productivity has now reached its target."

Xia He caught a fleeting glimpse of time in the fast-forwarded sequence.

Thanks to Feng Tianyin's persistence, the glacial plateau was finally transformed into a super altar, and temples and other institutions were also moved there. The climate was even modified to be habitable. In any case, planetary-level transformation is not a problem for Terra now.

In other words, many star systems could become habitable, enough to expand the living space of the human empire.

It wasn't that we lacked the technology before.

The shrinking territory was due to the continuous turmoil in the warp; what should have been abandoned was abandoned, what should have been ravaged by war was ravaged by war, and what should have been occupied by aliens fell into enemy hands...

Time to end.

After three years of transforming the world of Terra, Feng Tianyin couldn't wait to announce:

"The Great Expedition has begun. The Empire will vanquish the aliens. Let the banners of the Heavenly Dao Sect fly throughout the known world, make the borders indestructible, and let the stars bear the mark of this great civilization, which will endure forever."

She had long been eager to reclaim the lost world of stars.

In fact, during the three years that Terra was cultivating, the nations on the periphery near the war zone had already dispatched troops.

Xia He switches to a military perspective.

The border region was already engulfed in flames of war, though the main fighting was taking place in the alien-occupied areas. The recovered human empire had no shortage of troops and quickly assembled a force amidst continuous troop buildup.

It can also be considered a remnant of the subspace war mobilization, with a large number of troops still not disbanded.

Seamless integration.

The opportune timing was one of the reasons Feng Tianyin launched the Great Expedition; she wanted to take advantage of the high morale of this veteran force. At her command, the mighty fleet sailed across the sea of ​​stars.

They bear the flames of revenge of human civilization.

Because of the ability to jump and teleport around via subspace routes, the speed of the war exceeded Xia He's calculations.

Within two years of standard time.

The Heavenly Dao Sect's flagship fleet then unleashed firepower upon the alien-occupied territory.

Looking around, trillions upon trillions of monsters became cannon fodder, utterly unable to resist. It wasn't just a technological gap; the Space Marine military units, widely deployed across Terra, had become the foundation of a new psionic army.

The safety and reliability of the warp means that psykers are no longer uncontrollable time bombs, but are instead deeply embedded in the military system.

This aspect relies almost entirely on the experience gained from the world of Terra.

The Imperial Army's psionic forces were built entirely using the Great Qian system, because this world has long had a stable psionic environment and truly understands the integration of command systems with these extraordinary powers.

They quickly integrated into the Great Expeditionary System.

In the fast-forwarded sequence, Xia He witnessed the interstellar map, once devoured by aliens, regaining control.

It has been recaptured.

The Great Qian Empire was certainly not content with this level of conquest.

Revenge is too narrow-minded. It's not about eliminating the enemy and then it ends. We must take the banner of the Heavenly Dao Sect to more distant places and spread it far and wide.

The fleet is moving forward, carrying the spirit of pioneering and exploration.

As they continued to conquer, order began to return within the Star Sea. The Empire was not entirely ruthless; alien forces that were willing to cooperate and submit were spared.

Vassal state.

The permissions granted to Xia He only included a portion of the control, but her loyalty was very high. Anyone could see that the Great Qian's hegemony had been established, backed by the Heavenly Dao and the High Priest, and the only thing left to do was accept a new ruler.

A figure with silver hair appeared in the divine kingdom.

After dealing with the initial events of the Great Expedition, Feng Tianyin immediately returned to the Divine Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, everything is going well."

As soon as she arrived, she couldn't wait to announce the progress of the matter, after all, it was a top priority and of utmost importance.

At this moment, the high priest was using his full psionic power to maintain support for the warp channel. His long hair was as bright as silver, and he snuggled into Xia He's arms. Only by smelling such a scent could one feel at ease.

The girl in the white coat could only pat the other person's head, but the latter still shook his head, unsatisfied.

"Alright, alright, consider this a reward."

Their lips parted slightly, their four petals met, their tongues leaving each other's taste, the fragrance filling the air, and the delicate body in their arms softened.

"tired."

Relaxed, Feng Tianyin lay in Xia He's arms, her head resting on her knees, revealing a contented expression. Her behavior and demeanor became increasingly human-like, and her spiritual energy further stabilized.

The two nestled together, just like their daily life in the Kingdom of God over the previous year.

Together they looked down at the sea of ​​stars.

Thousands of stars swirled in my eyes, allowing me to see each twinkling star from a mortal's perspective, as well as witness the myriad beings in the microcosm. It was as if there were universes in even more microscopic worlds, different worlds under various coordinate systems... all within my sight.

Time continues to flow, and a decade in Terran time is almost over.

“I never imagined I would witness such a sight with Your Majesty; it has been a long journey.”

Feng Tianyin witnessed far more than just these 180 years.

The memories of history are still echoing.

Not only did she read about the years of the Great Qian Dynasty, but she also witnessed the Creator in his ignorance trying more than once to use his authority to bless and re-elevate his own status. These long memories were quite profound for Xia He.

"Luckily you were here this time, otherwise I might have worn myself down in the process of trying again and again."

"Then you will definitely become a terrifying being."

"So, Xiao Tianyin, you saved the world, and I am proud of you. Even I never imagined that you would grow to this level. Look, the Empire will unify the known star sea."

The brilliant stars they looked down upon were illuminated by the faith of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

The world is united.

Following the fall and shattering of the lost empire... no, it should be said that after the fall of the gods who first attempted to ascend to godhood in the distant past, the prolonged turmoil came to an end.
