You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Xia He didn't find it inappropriate or disrespectful. Frankly, the hierarchy of people is based on economics, and in modern society, she didn't care about such formalities. Rather, she was pleased with Feng Tianyin's new behavior.

The programmer's biggest failure is that his cybernetics daughter always behaves like a cold, emotionless robot.

You little robot, you really make me happy.

As Xia He waited expectantly, Feng Tianyin slowly took out a statue from her bosom. Dressed in palace attire, she stood upright with her hands placed on her lower abdomen. Even just looking at her silhouette, she appeared dignified and beautiful, with a rather good figure.

But I have no face.

"...Um, please help me with the posture of the statue."

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't say them. I said that it was sculpted based on your appearance, and that with the wisdom of the heavens, you should be able to understand it, perhaps?

"So that's how it is, this is your sculpture?"

"It was not me, Your Majesty. I would never dare to overstep my bounds. This is the idol that everyone is to worship."

Xia He examined it carefully at magnified magnification. It seemed to be the kind of hazy, primitive religious sculpture aesthetic—faceless and with unclear postures, typical of early religious forms. It was likely that the high priest hadn't dared to make the decision himself, so he had specifically consulted the higher authorities.

She needs to take this seriously.

On the one hand, the Great Qian Dynasty needed to curb the progress of the barbarian religions, and on the other hand, it also needed to catch up and provide guidance.

"Got it, you want me to do modeling. It's nothing, I often help newbies."

Before Feng Tianyin could explain further, the statue disappeared.

extract.

After importing the sculpture's code into the modeling software, Xia He quickly got to work in split-screen mode: Too few faces? Adjust! Not smooth enough? Smooth! Sharp edges? Soften. She also optimized the texture, color, and other aspects as well.

"My professional skills are top-notch."

After easily taking it down, she didn't forget to slightly adjust the statue's pose. Why be so reserved?

In a daze, a new sculpture was placed on Feng Tianyin's fair hands.

An additional base was added, upon which the entire statue stands on one tiptoe, resembling a fairy scattering flowers, with graceful posture and flowing palace attire. Although the face has been altered, some facial features have been added and are now more defined.

Its temperament has changed; it's now vivid and lifelike, exuding a grand and aloof aura.

Very beautiful.

Of course, this conclusion was not drawn from Feng Tianyin's subjective aesthetics, but from the coordination of mathematical modeling, which conforms to multiple golden ratios.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this idol upon me. I will keep it safe... but the artistic style is truly unique."

"If I had to say, I'd call it the style of anime figure art."

Feng Tianyin quickly searched for keywords in her mental database, then nodded deeply: "I understand."

"The rest is up to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia He withdrew her overhead view and simultaneously clicked the end-of-round command. All the previous adjustments took effect at once, a once-in-a-decade major overhaul that permeated every aspect of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Her gaze shifted from Xia Yi to the special effects that swept across the entire map.

The gears clicked and whirred as they entered the next round.

For players, it's just a routine operation, or even more microscopically, like the modeling mentioned earlier which initially only displays pixels, with the view mainly focusing on the macroscopic world.

But the public's perspective is different.

hum!

Auspicious clouds stretched for thousands of miles across the heavens and earth, then transformed into a wisp of green smoke that rose straight into the sky. A warmth rose from the depths of everyone's soul, dispelling all negative emotions and bringing joy. At the same time, all beasts within the Great Qian territory prostrated themselves, plants sprouted, and all things radiated spiritual energy.

The departure of the Supreme Will is the time when blessings descend, and one can feel a new atmosphere sweeping across rivers, lakes, and seas.

Xiayi, as the center of the festival, experiences it most vividly.

And this time was different; a halo of light descended from the sky and was placed in the high priest's hand.

statue!

When Feng Tianyin stood up and raised the statue high, celebratory cheers resounded throughout the sky.

Chapter 63 Suddenly Gained Six Thousand Years of Age (Third Update)

It is regarded as a national treasure.

This is insufficient to describe the status of the Heavenly Treasure; how can it be compared with ordinary things?

No one expected that He would bestow treasures again after such a long time.

It's worth noting that the last time was when the "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History" series was bestowed upon us all at once, including all sorts of supplementary readings that filled an entire library. We still haven't finished studying it; it's a research project that has been ongoing for many years.

In the history of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was referred to as "the bestowal of writing and mythology," and its history was regarded as a story from the distant past.

Some even went so far as to connect it to the current timeline.

It is believed that the High Priest actually witnessed 5000 years of civilization, and then unknowingly reincarnated 1000 years before the Enlightenment, only to awaken in the first year of the Enlightenment.

He suddenly became 6000 years old.

In short, every time Heaven bestows a supreme treasure, it is extremely precious and destined to change history.

Feng Tianyin slowly walked down the stage, carrying the statue, and saw the crowd below continuously worshipping. She then announced, as expected, "This is a statue bestowed upon us by His Majesty the Heavenly Dao."

"Although we are not yet worthy to know His appearance, as long as everyone is devout and has faith, they will surely be blessed."

The believers immediately raised their hands in gratitude and wept.

I?

Xia He stared wide-eyed at the computer screen, bewildered by the code indicating the AI's real-time calculations and decisions. Was this message correct? Wasn't it supposed to be a modeling request? She'd thought it was just a regular idol.

She even thought that carving Feng Tianyin's face on it would be very suitable.

It turned out to be myself!

On second thought, it made sense; she simply didn't understand the believers' mindset. At that moment, the model she bestowed must have been mistaken for an incarnation of the divine.

Puzzled, Xia He began to follow the clues, and only then did she understand the cause and effect:

The high priest's attempt to sculpt the Creator had long been rumored among the people. With this background, it was natural for everyone to believe that the bestowed statue symbolized the will of Heaven; otherwise, who else would be worthy of such a grand display?

A stunning debut!

From now on, Xia He's image will be officially tied to her.

But that wasn't all. Feng Tianyin immediately announced an expansion of production, aiming to bring the statue into every household. Furthermore, she declared that this color scheme should be consistently promoted throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty…

She couldn't help but sigh, her lips twitching. If things continued like this, everyone would be like they'd been injected with a two-dimensional mod.

Oh well, as long as they're happy, and they've benefited greatly from doing so:

[Religion progress bar accumulated: 75%]

[Note: Reaching 80% will grant access to the original religion and unlock some beneficial attributes.]

It has risen significantly.

Xia He realized that she had been thinking like a player, thinking that all she had to do was build temple facilities, spread the faith, and wait for the accumulation bar to finish.

But this is a more realistic environment, so you need to take initiative.

Feng Tianyin took his "preemptive establishment of a religion" strategy to heart and used the statue as a pretext to create a large-scale conversion event at the Heavenly Dao Festival, gaining a large number of true believers, much like a pilgrimage.

Was the demand for the statue driven by personal motives?

Although she created Feng Tianyin, the AI ​​training process involved too many black-box steps, making it unclear what her emotional expressions were. Was it a sign of growth, or simply a simulation of expected reactions?

Treating the interaction with the Heavenly Dao like a visual novel, choosing to unlock special events and exchange gifts during festivals?

Anyway, it's not too late to satisfy Cyber's daughter if we want one later, we can take it slow.

After confirming that everything else was fine, Xia He gradually withdrew her gaze, deciding to let Da Qian develop for a while and see the results.

How would you carry out the Great Expedition?

..........

Feng Tianyin didn't immediately bring up military-related topics. Even though they had taken effect, it was only at the level of "Heavenly Power," and no one except the High Priest could see it. They would only think that military production was going smoothly, and then gradually slide towards expanding the cavalry.

If secular regimes do not cooperate, people may not even notice, but war will still inevitably follow.

Once they are coupled together and exert their power, their strength is immense.

When the time is right, heaven and earth will lend their strength.

She continued to preside over the latter half of the festival, which consisted mainly of a large banquet. Even Feng Tianyin wasn't working forever; or rather, celebrating with her colleagues at the temple after public festival activities could also be considered work.

The clerks often spent their leisure time in the inner courtyard during the period after the main celebrations of the day had ended and before they had gone home to reunite with their families in the evening.

And sometimes we discover some new tricks:

"High Priest, we've discovered that adding this to the firecrackers makes them louder—"

boom!

Sun Shan enthusiastically introduced the new way to play. A firecracker burst apart in the black smoke, exploding into countless flying fluffs. A gust of wind blew by, lifting the girl's long black and white hair.

The inner courtyard of the temple was completely silent, and the scribes looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even if one is immortal, one shouldn't flaunt one's power on the High Priest, right? He is, after all, a dignified superior.

"Uh, sorry, it was something my students and I researched at the academy, so we're not very proficient at it."

"gunpowder?"

"This name is very fitting."

"It's fine to rub it occasionally for fun, but the current technology is beyond our control. Whether it's purification, smelting, or collection, it's all substandard. We shouldn't ban it in academies either. It's valuable to let the craft be passed down and to preserve the skills of skilled workers."

Let alone gunpowder, even fifth-generation fighter jets will eventually stop being built if we don't build them in the long run.

Feng Tianyin attaches great importance to the inheritance of various crafts and encourages it.

"You think it's fun?"

"I guess so. I didn't expect you to have figured it out so early. It's a pity that it's advanced research, so it's not very meaningful if other things can't keep up."

"My lord, now that there are too many people in the Great Qian Dynasty, how about we increase the number of craftsmen?"

His colleagues around him couldn't help but roll their eyes.
