I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 173 Offering Sacrifice to Heaven and Claiming the Title of Heavenly King, Breaking Through to the Celestial Realm

After the establishment of the royal system was decided, the people could not reach a consensus on the royal title of the dynasty.

Some people believe that Shaanxi is the former territory of the Qin Dynasty, so it is appropriate to call someone the King of Qin. For example, weren't Li Shimin and Zhu Shuang, the second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, both Kings of Qin?

Moreover, since they live in Xi'an, wouldn't it be best for them to be called the King of Qin?
Some people think that since the Qin Dynasty was overthrown by the Han Dynasty, and the People's Salvation Army has now occupied all of Hanzhong, it might as well declare itself the King of Han.

Some even suggested that he should be called the King of Shu.

The moment this title was mentioned, it was rejected by everyone with a roll of their eyes.

Shaanxi is where they started their power base, okay? They can't possibly be called the King of Shu.

Listening to the arguing below, Wang Chao felt utterly overwhelmed and rubbed his forehead, saying:

"Honestly, what's wrong with the name? It's just a title."

"How can that be? This concerns our reputation and the greater good."

In an instant, Wu Chang and the others launched into a long-winded discussion.

At this time, they showed no respect for the dynasty, so their names had to be resounding and of extraordinary significance.

The dynasty, however, did not seem to care much about this.

He's generally easy to talk to as long as it's not a matter of principle.

Listening to the clamor and the quoting of classics, he was really having a headache.

In the end, Wang Chao couldn't help but say helplessly:
"Everyone says that our land of China is a celestial empire, so why don't we just call him Heavenly King?"

"."

In an instant, the noisy crowd fell silent and turned to look at the dynasty.

Then, everyone began to move their lips and mutter to themselves, their expressions thoughtful.

"Heavenly King."

"What? Do you really want to call me the Heavenly King?"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Wang Chao was slightly taken aback; he had only made a casual remark.

Moreover, the Hong Tianwang who later stirred up a huge wave of influence did not last long.

"That's not entirely impossible."
The leader is no ordinary person; don't the people say that the leader is the Heavenly Emperor descended to earth?
"Wouldn't it be alright to call him Heavenly King?"

"Absolutely! Absolutely! The leader is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, and should be called the Heavenly King."

"Yes, the leader spreads the Dharma to save the world. Who dares to say that the leader is not the Heavenly Emperor and is not worthy of the title of Heavenly King?"

"Hehe, ordinary people may not know, but you lot don't know either?"
I am not some Heavenly Emperor.

In our world, there are no Heavenly Emperors, Immortals, or Buddhas.

"Hehe, it didn't exist before, but it will in the future, right?"

Wang Zhongyuan chuckled, his gaze towards the dynasty filled with reverence.

The lower the social class, the more reverence they hold for the dynasty.

Wang Zhongyuan rose from a commoner to become a prefect, and then, because of his diligence and talent, he was transferred by the dynasty to the central government to serve as an assistant director of the Political Affairs Department.

Therefore, he always held the dynasty in a kind of reverence, as if he were facing a god.

He felt that the leader should not only be called the Heavenly King, but even the Heavenly Emperor right now, without any problem.

Ultimately, everyone unanimously decided that the dynasty's title would be Heavenly King.

After some consideration, the dynasty felt that although the later Heavenly King Hong was somewhat incompetent in the end, he was different from him and should be able to live up to the title.
After all, in this world, he stands at the very top, leading the world forward and undergoing a transformation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the Dao Ancestor of a Realm. So what if he's called a Heavenly King?
After the dynasty's title was decided, the people began to discuss the date, which was finally set for the second day of the second lunar month.

As the saying goes, on the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head.

Doesn't this symbolize the rise of the People's Salvation Army and its imminent triumph?

Time flies, and soon it was February 2nd.

At this time, Wang Dahu, Wang Shi, Li Yu and others had also temporarily handed over their military power to their deputies and advisors, and gathered in Xi'an Prefecture.

Wang Erniu and Wang Zhenyuan also came to Xi'an Prefecture.

Regardless, this was the day the dynasty was established and declared king. As a fellow villager of the dynasty and a trusted old subordinate who had followed the dynasty's development and expansion, he should and had to be present.

As he walked step by step up the altar, looking down at the countless people below, whose faces had gradually lost their sallow and emaciated appearance, a smile couldn't help but appear on Wang Chao's solemn face.

He has finally brought new direction and opportunities to the world and to this nation.

And for now, it seems that all of that is good; even if there are some minor flaws, he can gradually resolve them.

"The mighty heavens shine upon the earth below."

Gathering the spirit of the land, it brings forth sweet wind and rain.

Each finds its proper place, and all things thrive.

Each finds its proper place, regardless of the past or present.

I, alone, respectfully worship the blessings of Heaven and this humble land.

The gods of Heaven bestow upon us sweet winds and rains.

All kinds of plants and animals flourished.

In peace and tranquility, we worship the spirits of the earth.
The current dynasty
Observe the way of Heaven, and practice the law to communicate with the divine.

He carries out the will of Heaven and bestows the law to benefit all living beings.
Now, having received the mandate of Heaven, I am established as the Heavenly King.

As the dynasty recited the sacrificial incantation, strange phenomena gradually appeared in the sky. Wisps of bright yellow light bloomed and enveloped the entire world, so much so that even the blazing sun could not obscure them in the slightest.

The dynasty's voice was not loud, but it slowly spread, and all the people in the entire territory could hear it clearly.

Involuntarily, everyone looked up.

Looking at the bright yellow light filling the sky, and the voice that seemed to enter their minds directly, yet also seemed to come from the heavens, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

"Is this... the leader?" "It really is the leader."

"Long live the leader!"

"No, it's the Heavenly King! Long live the Heavenly King!"

"Long live the Heavenly King!"

"May our mountains and rivers endure forever, may the Heavenly King's army save the people forever."

Suddenly, all sorts of words filled the air, but they were all full of blessings and expectations.

Countless people stood up straight and bowed, their eyes resolute.

Countless people also knelt down and kowtowed, praying silently.

A hundred miles to the north, Lindan Khan stared in astonishment at the bright yellow light that suddenly rose in the south, muttering to himself.

"I knew it, I knew it. Those so-called 'Saving the People's Army' are definitely not ordinary people."
"Hmm, and up there, is there something there?"

Finally, Lin Danhan couldn't help but look up again, as if he felt there was something above him.

Similar to Ligdan Khan, the Khans of Turpan and Yarkand in the west also looked eastward, wondering what had happened there and why such a magnificent sight had appeared.

Could it be that there really are gods and saints in this world? Is this a god or saint descending to earth?

In the east, Chen Qiyu, who had originally planned to organize an army to probe and attack Shaanxi, saw a bright yellow light suddenly rising on the west side of the Yellow River and immediately abandoned all his probing thoughts.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the People's Army and the dynasty were truly destined by Heaven?

Governor-General Hong Chengchou of Huguang and General Qin Liangyu of Shizhou Guard were at Jiannan Commandery at the time. After hearing the report from their subordinates, they quickly walked out of their room and looked towards the Sichuan territory shining brightly to the west.

"This, this, this"

After a long while, Hong Chengchou and Qin Liangyu finally came to their senses. They looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Is this militia truly destined by fate?

Thinking of the information they had gathered over this period of time, both of them couldn't help but feel that the People's Salvation Army was destined by Heaven and that the Ming Dynasty was doomed.

For a moment, a sense of despair and helplessness rose in both of their hearts.

The effects of the strange phenomena that arose in the territory of the People's Salvation Army were far more extensive than that.

A bright yellow light rose up, vast and boundless, and could still be seen in the west even in the capital city of Shuntian Prefecture.

For a time, countless officials and common people were filled with fear and confusion, not understanding what had happened in the west.

However, some quick-witted ministers couldn't help but feel a stirring in their hearts.

To the west, isn't that the territory of the People's Salvation Army?
Is it
Such a terrifying and immense phenomenon made it hard for them not to think it was a sign of divine mandate.

Unable to contain themselves, the crowd began to have their own thoughts. Could they take advantage of the situation and even help the People's Salvation Army occupy Shuntian Prefecture, the capital?

What the ministers and common people could see, Chongzhen could naturally see as well.

However, after looking at the bright yellow light shooting straight into the sky in the west for a while with a gloomy expression, Chongzhen couldn't help but look up at the palace above.

As the bright yellow light rose in the west, his senses above gradually became clearer.

He could vaguely see that above the palace, there was also a bright yellow glow, but it was mixed with a lot of gray and black energy, and a wisp of golden light appeared in the center.

As time goes by, that feeling is getting stronger.

In Shenyang, Northeast China, Huang Taiji stood atop the city wall, his brow furrowed as he gazed at the strange phenomenon to the southwest. What had happened there?
Unconsciously, Huang Taiji also raised his head, sensing the existence above that was vaguely connected to him, and revealed a thoughtful expression. Was there some connection between the two?
The dynasty had a general idea of ​​the reactions from all sides, but it didn't seem to care much.

As the sacrificial incantation was recited, the dynasty began to mobilize spiritual power to aid its breakthrough.

Endless spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in the consciousness space and quickly merged into the dynasty's soul.

"boom!"

In an instant, a roar resounded in his mind, and his soul body underwent a transformation, completely becoming a physical entity, identical to his physical body, and capable of existing for a long time.

At the same time, a mysterious power spread out and permeated every corner of the body.

While deeply refining and cleansing his body and internal energy, his perception and control over his body also instantly reached a new level.

"A thousand years!"

This is the normal lifespan of a dynasty today.

Chinese civilization has only existed for five thousand years, yet it is already the oldest civilization in the world.

The dynasty, however, is now comparable to one-fifth of the current history of Chinese civilization.

At the same time, the true essence within his body underwent a tremendous transformation, almost turning into a liquid state, flowing gurgling through the meridians and acupoints of his body.

After merging with the body's true essence, the spread of that power did not stop, but instead burst out of the body and merged into the depths of the spatial dimension of heaven and earth.

In an instant, streams of mysterious power and fluctuations surged forth, continuously tempering the dynasty's soul, body, and true essence. The mysterious information from early morning merged into the soul.

At the same time, the dynasty could sense that it had formed a mysterious connection with a certain power between itself and the world, and it seemed that it could mobilize and drive it to a certain extent.

"rule."

A thought flashed through Wang Chao's mind, making him aware of his current situation.

The power after this second transformation is no longer comparable to supernatural powers in terms of true essence strength, but can directly contact the rules of heaven and earth, thereby influencing the operation of the rules of heaven and earth and mobilizing the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

Of course, he can only be considered to have a preliminary understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. He needs to analyze and comprehend the meaning and power represented by these rules of heaven and earth little by little.

He'd better not use this power carelessly until then.

After all, if the rules are used arbitrarily without knowing their meaning, it could very likely cause irreparable damage.

The dynasty itself may be fine, but the fate of the people, things, and events around it is hard to say.

As for the current state, in which one can directly face and even come into contact with the rules of heaven and earth, the dynasty is willing to call it "Celestial Being", and this realm is also called the [Celestial Being] realm.

The realm of Heaven and Man is the state of being one with Heaven and Earth, where one can mobilize the rules and power of Heaven and Earth.
